The 239th chapter adventurous arms purchase (3)
After the basic infantry equipment was discussed, Xiao Lin and General Ma were relieved and the highlight was the main event. Xiao Lin was preparing to buy armored vehicles and tanks. Why not artillery and mortars? Please, Xiao Lin already has three thousand 54 series heavy howitzers in his hand. The mortar company can now make 60mm and 82mm. The 122mm and 152mm heavy howitzers have already entered the research sequence. Although the finished product has not been seen yet, the basic technical difficulties have been overcome.
In 1722, no, it was about 1723. Not to mention planes, even airships did not appear. Therefore, the company does not need anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. If they were taken, they would have no use. Just study them by themselves. Of course, in order not to make the Chinese side suspicious, he still purchased some of these things, spending a total of 300 million yuan. He hoped that he would buy more, but there was not much left in these backward things. He also knew that the performance was not very good, and there was no way, so he could not sell them, so he would prepare to go back directly.
Xiao Lin's armored vehicle is a 531h type armored transport vehicle, which is actually the Type 85 armored transport vehicle. It is said to be the Type 85, but it actually belongs to the Type 63 crawler armored vehicle family. The vehicle family began to develop in 1958. The base vehicle is a 531 crawler armored personnel conveyor vehicle, mainly used to transport infantry and cooperate with tank combat. The first batch of 531 armored transport vehicles were delivered to the troops in 1963 and named the Type 63 armored transport vehicle. From 1981 to 1985, it was improved to b531, 531c, 531d, 531e, 531g, 531k armored transport vehicle. In 1987, it was improved to 531h (also known as Type 85) armored transport vehicle.
"I'm going to know how many Type 85 armored vehicles are not retired now? Or how many are there to be used normally."
"Oh, it turns out you want this car. Indeed, the Type 99 armored vehicle has replaced the Type 85 armored vehicle. The rest are either sold through magic modifications or retired and sealed. Wait a moment, I'll check it for you."
He was about to leave the conference room and go to the special computer room to search for information. Xiao Lin thought he would have to wait for a while, but he actually came back in just ten minutes.
"Well, there are still 300 armored vehicles in Type 85 now with full combat power, and there are 200 more overhauls to be used. Among them, yw382 �
"Ahem, I'm impressed you soon. I'm all second-hand goods. You dare to open this price. The black African millet money is not blown by the wind. If I take this price, I won't make any money."
"Then you tell me the price?"
"I have ordered all cars, and I will deliver twenty cars this time. I will pay all the money in two years to take away the rest."
"Okay, it's so refreshing."
Xiao Lin felt something was wrong. He seemed to have been cheated. He knew about those armored vehicles. He had served in the army for decades and was relatively old. Even if he replaced it with new equipment, he still couldn't keep up with the mainstream. However, the price should not be that. Xiao Lin didn't know that armored vehicles were really not easy to sell. In the places where the Middle East and Africa often fought, except for a few oil powers and the major powers supported by the United States, they could not afford armored vehicles at all.
However, the market share has long been occupied by several omega old gangsters, and there is no way to let the Chinese people squeeze in. Besides, the 85 type is indeed a little behind. If the 99 type is willing to sell, those people are willing to buy it. However, the 99 type is the main armored vehicle of the Chinese army now. Each model is in the middle and upper reaches of the world and cannot be sold. Only the only country in Pakistan, such an old guy who is absolutely loyal to China has obtained a batch.
They are all old guys, no one wants to place them, and they can continue to use the auxiliary vehicles after being modified. Anyway, there is no need to go to the front battlefield. The rest of them have no plans to modify them. The army is really reluctant to let them go. They originally planned to seal them to prevent future changes in the world and can be used for militia. Now, before they can be sold, it is not much more than 15 million, but it is also a bit higher than the cost price of a new car. It is good to be able to sell an old car.
It seemed that Xiao Lin was still there, and the soldiers who were smiling happily put away their smiles awkwardly. They immediately cursed their hearts. These people were really unable to hold back. Next, there was a highlight, why should they be exposed like this? Xiao Lin was actually very desperate inside and could not play with these old foxes. There was no way, and he had to admit it like this. The 85 armored vehicle was retired, so the price was really high.
The tanks that Xiao Lin is interested in are different, the Type 59-1 medium tank. China introduced the former Soviet T-54a tank production technology in the 1950s to develop and produce the Type 59 medium tank. Its first was produced in 1958 and finalized production in 1959. After more than 30 years of transformation and improvement, it has derived its improved series. In the expansion of its uses, several variants were developed, forming a vehicle family with the Type 59 tank as the basis.
After the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, based on sufficient research, the Chinese country decided to make the first round of improvements to the Type 59 medium tank in response to the backward fire control system and weak protection capabilities exposed by the Type 59 medium tank during the operation. In 1979, the improvement design began, with the product code name wz120a. After the improvement plan was approved, trial production and improved tactical and technical performance tests were immediately put into trial production. In 1984, the Type 59 improved medium tank passed the final test and was formally established, and named "Type 59-1 medium tank".
The Type 59 tank was produced in China at the beginning. In recent years, it has been transformed into various models and sold very well. Many small countries even bought them as main tanks. In addition, they have consumed a lot of new weapons in recent years, but China still has more than 2,000 vehicles. Among them, the Type 59-1 medium tanks that have not been improved, and there are more than 600. When Xiao Lin asked about this tank, the general and the others were happy immediately.
"We can find more than 2,000 medium-sized tanks for you, whether it is an existing improved model or an improvement according to your own wishes."
"No, just add a little ceramic armor and install an infrared aiming system."
"Why don't you change the main gun? Now everyone likes 125mm caliber, but no one wants the original 100mm caliber."
"Well, let's do it. Change the main guns of fifty tanks to 125mm caliber, and don't move the rest. They don't have much money, so they hope to use ordinary tanks to train their own armored army."
"Would you like to cover all of them? There are 600 vehicles in total. If I want to give you a discount, 7.5 million yuan per vehicle, and 9 million yuan per vehicle for the main gun."
"This, I don't have much money this time."
"That's okay. Didn't you say they are mining a big gold mine? We can trade in batches and keep them all for you. Within two years, all the money will be paid, and all the cars will be taken away."
"Okay, if you have everything, you have everything."
"Good boy, it's really solved the problem for us."
"I'm about to go, don't worry, we have no discussions on aircraft and ships."
"Yes, I don't know what aircraft you want. I recommend this to you. The J-8a model is considered a half-third generation aircraft. It can be used as a main fighter."
"Don't forget immediately. I can be said to be here to collect junk this time. The J-8a is too high-end. I wonder how many J-5 and J-6 are left in the country?"
"Boy Xiao, you have to know that those things are already considered real junk. Not to mention selling them, no one wants them even if they are given away for free. A few years ago, the drone modified with J-6 could still be sold, but now it is completely unsold."
"No problem, don't worry, there is no supersonic fighter there, all helicopters are fighting the beam. Even if they fall behind, they won't even be able to beat the helicopters in these fighters. People have also said that now, as long as there is quantity, no quality. If there is not enough quantity, he can't suppress the enemy."
"Okay, anyway, as long as you can sell it, don't smash it into your hands, how much do you want."
"How many of you have?"
"As much as you want."
The J-5 fighter, developed by Shenyang Industrial Co., Ltd., is a single-seat, single-engine high-sonic jet fighter. The J-5 uses a turbojet-5 centrifugal afterburner turbojet engine with a static thrust of 2,600 kg and an afterburner thrust of 3,380 kg. The engine is a counterfeit product of the VK-1F engine of the Soviet Krimov Design Bureau. The internal fuel is 1,170 kg and two 400-liter sub-fuel tanks are attached. The maximum level flight speed of the J-5 is 1,145 kilometers per hour (height 3,000 meters), the cruising speed is 800 kilometers per hour, and the practical ceiling is 16,000 meters.
