Xiao Lin finally appeared and came back suddenly, so Sorento would definitely not let him go. The total amount of arms he had determined before was transported one third of them one after another during this period. They were mainly high-end tanks and helicopter fighters, and there were a lot of others. Sorento paid millions of labor fees every year, so how could it be that Xiao Lin was idle? The new batch of weapons are mainly used to equip and train militia rifles and submachine guns and mortars to strengthen military firepower.

Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't mind. Taking this opportunity, he could take care of the private goods again. Moreover, after reaching an agreement with Sorento and others, Sorento will help him bring out his private goods and secretly hand them over to Xiao Lin on the high seas. No matter what, it would be no harm to have more good weapons reserves. The company's demand for heavy artillery is getting bigger and bigger. To fight the British to this point, Xiao Lin believes that as long as Charlie Mill makes a move, he will definitely mobilize heavy artillery and army to attack.

Xiao Lin had no doubt at all. Charlie would definitely mobilize twenty, twenty-four, or even thirty-six pounds of turrets and naval heavy artillery. These cannons are not just kidding. They not only have long range, but also have great power. If they are directly fired onto the anti-aircraft hole, they can't stand it even if they are reinforced with cement. Moreover, it has a great threat to the two-meter-deep trench. The key is that these heavy artillery walls are thick, and the assaulter's one-type mortar shells will not have much effect at all.

It is not enough to rely on the second type of heavy punch. The second type of heavy punch is just a front-mounted rifled gun. The rifle increases its range and a little power, but it does not increase its accuracy much. Research on the third type of heavy punch with a caliber of 150 mm has not yet made any breakthroughs, mainly because Xiao Lin has high requirements. Not only does it require the light wall, but the total weight is controlled within 150 mm of the rear-mounted shell cannon weight within 100 mm, but it also requires a stronger power and range than other front-mounted cannons.

The 75 mm caliber and 120 mm caliber are not bad, because the caliber is not very large, and I can still find a way to solve it. However, the difference between this 150 mm and the 120 mm cannon is only thirty mm caliber, and the difficulty is not ordinary. 150 mm is basically the caliber of the cannon. Since it cannot be made by itself, Xiao Lin had the idea of ​​buying it. As far as he knew, China was influenced by the Soviets and had always been a crazy believer in artilleryism before the 1990s.

With the support of the Soviets, China built a terrible number of cannons 50 years later. However, because of that special period, no one was interested in building, and many scientists were even persecuted, which made the development of artillery unable to keep up with the times. But well, due to the rise of the concept of modern military construction, China did not continue to move forward with the wrong path of artilleryism. China's concept of thrift and frugality was still deeply rooted, and many weapons that were lagging behind for decades were reluctant to destroy and kept it.

Xiao Lin once discovered two super old antiques on the list given by the Logistics General Assembly Department. The Type 54 122mm howitzer and Type 54 152mm howitzer, these artillery that had been retired in the 1970s, still exist, and their combat effectiveness has remained 10% 10%. Xiao Lin was really amazed at the ability of the Chinese Army to maintain equipment. However, because of this, the maintenance costs of these backward equipment are not low every year.

If it were in the 1990s or 2009, these artillery might be improved and sold. But by 2019, they looked down on these artillery, even a local warlord in Africa, and if they had that money, they would rather buy a little more rpg. The Chinese Army finally decided to destroy this large number of artillery, so Sorento emerged, and they hinted that Xiao Lin would sell these artillery and as long as they gave more money, they would be willing to carry out modernization.

However, Sorento could not afford to digest this batch of artillery. After all, he had too much demand for the third-generation fighter jets and the third-generation main station tanks, and these were not cheap. This time, Xiao Lin made his mind to this batch of artillery. Xiao Lin counted the funds he had, and the money he could withdraw was only 500 million. Among them, 400 million were all used to purchase artillery, which was enough to use. A Type 54 122mm howitzer was 300,000, and a Type 54 152mm howitzer was 500,000, which were all dealt with the price, and one hundred shells were 200,000.

Type 54 122mm howitzer, a 122mm tow gun developed and formulated in the early 1950s, and was equipped with troops in the mid-to-late 1950s to replace various old miscellaneous howitzer/shan cannons. This gun was improved by the Su-style M-1938 type and used car traction. It is an infantry division, and the army (group army) belongs to the basic artillery regiment. Each regiment has 2-3 battalions (24-36 guns). The artillery uses manual screw bolts; the machine is built and the machine is arranged on the body and lower part of the gun; the sighting device is composed of a 58 scope and a 58 peripheral sight sight. The 54 122mm tow howitzer is equipped with an anti-destructive blasting grenade, combustion, smoke, and lighting special bombs.

The specific data is initial velocity of 515 meters/sec, the maximum range is 11,800 meters, the minimum range is 3,400 meters, the direct range is 600 meters, the maximum rate of fire is 5-6 rounds/min, the high and low range is -3 degrees to 63.5 degrees, and the direction range is 49 degrees each. In the 21st century, it is enough to fight warships. The data of the Type 54 152mm howitzer is not bad, the initial velocity is 508 meters/sec (grenade), the maximum range is 12,400 meters (grenade), the direction range is 35 degrees, the high and low range is -3 degrees to 63.5 degrees, and the maximum rate of fire is 4 rounds/min.

Among the two types of guns, Xiao Lin spent 300 million yuan to purchase a total of 1,000 yuan. However, the Type 54 152mm howitzer only purchased 100 million yuan, a total of 200 yuan. Basically, all the inventory was cleared by Xiao Lin. This is the largest batch of weapons purchased by Xiao Lin so far, but there are very few shells, and basically each type of shell is only one round. There is no way. If you don’t buy it now, the Chinese side will send these two types of cannons back to the furnace and will never be able to buy them again.

In the mid-1950s, China did not have professional high-quality artillery soldiers. Even so, they still played with these two types of artillery. Xiao Lin believed that if they were to be installed on the company's troops, the company's artillery could also form combat effectiveness in a short time. For the military that successfully sold this batch of rags, this time they regarded Xiao Lin as a great hero. Not until this was over, Xiao Lin took out another 100 million yuan and purchased 800,000 Type 56 submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles.

Xiao Lin could only get 10,000 of these guns. The other 790,000 were the rewards for Sorento to get the 3,200 heavy artillery. Xiao Lin and Sorento discussed this batch of guns and let Sorento ship to Belan's arsenal. They were welcome to check at any time and ensure that no one would leak out. Moreover, the arsenal would only study shells and would not make shells.

Sorento was a little hesitant at the beginning, so Xiao Lin directly took the money and said that he had all the militia equipment in Belan. 790,000 was enough for Sorento and the others to use it. Sorento could only mobilize at most 400,000 militias, and the additional 390,000 guns were reserved. If it was damaged, there would be new guns. Moreover, Xiao Lin personally reimbursed the costs incurred in the transportation of this batch of artillery. Sorento was directly confused by Xiao Lin's three-pronged approach, so he naturally agreed.

Xiao Lin wanted to ship all the way back to the 18th century, but Sorento was not relieved. If such a terrible number of heavy artillery flowed out, no matter where it flowed out, he would have great trouble. Therefore, the money could only be paid. Although it was not produced, it would not leave the scope of the arsenal. However, if these were dealt with, whether it was artillery or shells, the company must master the production process.

Moreover, if there is a crisis in the company, Xiao Lin will definitely take these artillery away. However, as long as it does not completely turn against each other, Xiao Lin will try his best to ensure that it will not be discovered by Sorento's people. With Xiao Lin's continuous investment, Sorento's power is increasingly inseparable from Xiao Lin. Moreover, as more and more high-end weapons and equipment form combat effectiveness, there will be fewer and fewer restrictions on Xiao Lin having these very backward weapons.

It’s not that Xiao Lin didn’t want to find a partner himself and pretended to be an intermediary in the arms trade. However, the risk of doing this is too great, and it is difficult to ensure that China will not send people to inquire about the whereabouts of these weapons. A large number of weapons have not been implemented, but have disappeared mysteriously, and Xiao Lin is inseparable from the relationship. In order to prevent weapons from flowing into the country, Xiao Lin will inevitably be invited by the Guoan to have tea. Once he cannot provide a place for these equipment, even if Xiao Lin contributes a lot of influence to the country, he will be sentenced to life imprisonment. At worst, he can live better, eat better, and he doesn’t have to work.

Now, at least Sorento helped him deal with it. However, Xiao Lin was also planning to formulate a final procurement plan, and then disappear in the 21st century after the last wave of procurement, and never come back. However, that was a long time later. Xiao Lin felt that at least he had to wait until he had a population of five million and an army of hundreds of thousands. In any case, the procurement of civilian equipment and heavy artillery was still very smooth.

While waiting for Sorento to transport the artillery back to Belan, Shawling brought all the equipment he could carry back to the 18th century and began installation and commissioning.
