Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Comrade Wu Dajun, please tell Comrade Lin Kaifeng about the problems encountered during the transformation of the Type 69 tanks. He will work with us to find a solution to sell as many tanks as possible."

Wu Dajun sighed and said, "Based on the existing Type 69 tank, our factory has carried out a comprehensive transformation. Now the main problem is concentrated on the tank's fire control system. To be honest, the Type 69 main battle tank is not a mature main battle tank. There are a lot of problems in the research and development process. Although we have targeted these problems, compared with Western and Soviet main battle tanks, this tank still has many shortcomings."

Lin Kaifeng is an expert at earning foreign exchange and is regarded as the God of Wealth by all departments, while Li Jinjun is the senior leader in charge of military equipment.

Some things can be hidden from others, but they can never be hidden from these two people.

Wu Dajun spoke the truth and frankly admitted that the Type 69 tank had more defects than most people imagined.

But there is no way. The only two types of tanks that Longguo can export are Type 69 and Type 59.

As for the Type 79 tank, the final research has not been completed.

Even if the research is completed, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems without actual testing.

Lin Kaifeng said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Director Wu. Even if the Type 69 tank does have some problems, I have a way to sell it."

Seeing that Lin Kaifeng agreed so readily, Wu Dajun breathed a sigh of relief.

Since its establishment, Factory 607 has been responsible for the manufacture and production of various armored weapons.

Economic reform is in full swing, and various state-owned enterprises are undergoing different changes.

Military-industrial enterprises are restricted by their previous production tasks and have long been engaged in weapons production and manufacturing. It is extremely difficult to transform them into civilian product production.

Military products are different from civilian products in that they have a limited market and a narrow customer base.

Whether you can sell weapons depends entirely on luck.

At noon the next day, Li Jinjun, Lin Kaifeng and staff from the foreign affairs department were waiting at the airport early.

Wu Dajun had returned to the factory early to make preparations for the reception.

An hour later, a plane landed at the airport.

The hatch opened and a bunch of people in white robes and leather shoes came down.

The desert guests looked like they were rich.

Prince Sumer was shocked by Li Jianjun's introduction.

One of the receptionists, Lin Kaifeng, turned out to be the general manager of Northern Machinery Group.

The commercial dispute between Northern Machinery Group and the island country's enterprises has long been a hot topic.

Many senior officials from desert countries have heard of it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Kaifeng was not in charge of the Northern Machinery Group, but appeared in the welcoming team.

Could it be that Northern Machinery Group operates a variety of civilian products as well as some military products?

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said in English: "Hello, Your Highness. On behalf of our Northern Machinery Group, I welcome you."

Prince Sumoer said amiably, "Hello, Mr. Lin. I heard that we are conducting business cooperation with Dicheng. You are welcome to invest in our company."

In formal occasions, there are some things you can say and some things you absolutely cannot say.

Prince Sumer came here on behalf of the Rak Kingdom to inspect the tank equipment of the Dragon Kingdom. Whether the Northern Machinery Group has a military background or not will not affect this inspection.

The reason why Lak chose to buy Longguo's tanks was mainly because Longguo's tanks were large in quantity and cheap in price.

The same amount of money can buy multiple main battle tanks in Longguo.

In the Western arms market, perhaps you can only buy a main battle tank.

It is cheap, but there are also many problems.

I hope that this time the modification of the Type 69 tank will bring some surprises to me.

Prince Sumer thought so and spoke some meaningless official language and clichés.

After some greetings, everyone left the airport and headed for the hotel.

The reception was led by the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and the military.

The military is different from other departments. It is used to being straightforward and getting straight to the point.

Prince Sumer rested in the capital for only one day before he was taken to the tank factory on the grassland.

In the final assembly workshop, Prince Sumer was looking at a tank in front of him that had just come off the production line.

"Mr. Minister, could you please tell me in detail what kind of upgrades this tank has undergone and what improvements it has made compared to the original Type 69 tank?"

Li Jinjun winked at Lin Kaifeng calmly.

Lin Kaifeng said: "Your Highness, please allow me to introduce you on behalf of Deputy Minister Li."

"What do you think?"

"can."

Prince Sumer didn't care who introduced it, he just wanted to know whether the upgraded Type 69 tank could meet his psychological expectations.

In Prince Sumer's opinion, Dragon Kingdom's weapons have only two characteristics.

The first is naturally the price is cheap, and the second is that there is sufficient supply.

Unlike the weapons of the Soviet Union and the United States, not only are they extremely expensive, but their supply cannot be guaranteed.

If you are supplied with ten cars today, the supply may drop sharply to only one tomorrow.

Also.

The weapons provided by the two superpowers often come with a host of additional conditions.

Weapons sold to various countries must inevitably be accompanied by a large amount of additional benefits.

On the other hand, Longguo only wants money when selling weapons and doesn't want anything else.

As long as the money is enough.

Dragon Country can supply as many tanks as you want.

Even if Longguo wants to equip a tank army, it can complete the tank supply in the shortest time.

Lin Kaifeng patted the tank's body and said, "Your Highness, the biggest change to this tank is that it has air conditioning installed inside."

"Air...air conditioning?!"

Prince Sumer was stunned and said incredulously: "Mr. Lin, are you mistaken? This is a tank, not a car."

"Will installing air conditioning improve your combat effectiveness?"

"Of course, and it can also greatly improve combat effectiveness."

Lin Kaifeng smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness should have never been a soldier, right?"

Prince Sumer shook his head and said, "No."

"It is not surprising that your Highness does not understand the importance of air conditioning to tank soldiers since he has no military experience."

Having said that, Lin Kaifeng looked at the entourage behind Prince Sumer.

I noticed that the accompanying staff member had a look of emotion on his face.

He has a strong physique and carries a murderous aura.

It is obvious that this person is either Prince Sumer's bodyguard or a military personnel accompanying him.

At this moment.

This person's face showed a more complicated expression than Prince Sumer's.

The princes of the desert countries all live a life of luxury.

Not to mention being a soldier, he has never even experienced the slightest bit of hardship.

I had no idea how painful it was to drive a tank in the scorching heat of the desert.

If air conditioners can really be installed in tanks, the combat effectiveness of the troops can at least be greatly improved.

There will be absolutely no non-combat casualties.
