Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?
Chapter 306 Armed Pickup Truck and Desert Camouflage
A large number of major oil-producing countries have hundreds of billions of US dollars in foreign exchange.
The roads and bridges in the country's major cities are still as backward as they were back then.
Regardless of the scale of construction, transport vehicles are essential.
Desert countries import large quantities of vehicles from the West in an attempt to solve their own transportation problems.
This is understandable.
However, Western cars, like their weapons and equipment, are expensive, complicated to operate, and difficult to maintain.
In contrast, the cars produced in Longguo are easy to learn and drive and convenient to maintain.
At the same time, the Northern Machinery Group has developed a high-quality and low-cost passenger and cargo vehicle.
Not only can it transport large quantities of cargo, but it can also be equipped with weapons.
Unconsciously, Lin Kaifeng shifted the topic from the issue of vehicle use in infrastructure to another battlefield.
In 1979, the Soviet Union dispatched troops to attack the graveyard of empires.
The graveyard of empires is a small country with a large population. Even if the Soviet Union sent out 100,000 troops, the latter would not be able to resist even if they sent out 10,000 regular troops.
Not surprisingly.
It took the Soviet Union only one month to completely complete the occupation of the entire country.
Despite the occupation, the Soviet Union was never able to gain a foothold here.
At the same time as the country's regular army was being wiped out, a large number of guerrillas emerged among the people.
At the same time, Western countries, mainly the United States, believe that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The internal situation of the Soviet Union is becoming more and more serious.
In order to divert domestic conflicts, troops were sent to the Imperial Cemetery.
If we could drag the Soviet Union into the quagmire of war, they would never be able to climb out.
What little flesh and blood is left of the Soviet Union will be gradually consumed in the quagmire.
To this end, the United States has provided massive support to various guerrilla groups and armed resistance forces in the desert.
The various wealthy countries were also worried that the Soviet Union would gain a foothold in the graveyard of empires and pose a direct threat to them.
Together with the United States, we provide the guerrillas with funds, weapons and equipment, and personnel training.
Assist the guerrillas in fighting against the Soviet Union.
Since they are guerrillas, their level of education is naturally not high.
After all, the average educational level of the people in the desert world is almost at the elementary school level.
Expecting them to operate various advanced weapons and equipment in combat is simply asking too much.
Lin Kaifeng, who focuses on the electronics and semiconductor industries, never forgets to assist relevant departments in promoting domestic economic development.
Arrange the automobile department to develop a new car that can assist in production and construction.
It was none other than the pickup truck that became famous in later generations.
Pickup trucks are both civilian vehicles.
It is also a variant of military vehicle that is used in various war zones around the world.
The rear compartment is comparable to a multi-functional weapons platform.
It can be equipped with both high-altitude machine guns and heavy ground-to-ground firepower.
More than a decade later, pickup trucks became standard equipment for guerrillas around the world.
Many guerrillas in the desert and African continent would be embarrassed to call themselves guerrillas if they did not have vehicles such as pickup trucks.
Prince Sumer, who knew nothing about military affairs, was stunned by what Lin Kaifeng said.
Major General Aziz half-believed and half-doubted, "If a pickup truck is converted into a military vehicle, will the combat effect be as great as you say?"
Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "There is an old saying in our Dragon Country: seeing is believing."
"If you two trust me, let's finalize the tank issue first, and then take a day off. The day after tomorrow, I will invite you two to the headquarters of the Northern Machinery Group to take a close look at the pickup truck developed by our group."
"When the time comes, I will give you a further explanation on the spot, so that you can fully appreciate the unique capabilities of pickup trucks in both civilian and military fields."
Pickup trucks are not uncommon.
More than a decade ago, Japan and the United States developed several types of pickup trucks.
The difference is that the United States and the island country have different names for pickup trucks.
The United States calls pickup trucks car-type trucks.
The name is easy to understand, it can be used as a car or a truck.
The cab is connected to the rear compartment as one, and is a passenger and cargo vehicle.
The island country calls pickup trucks tool trucks.
Since pickup trucks were first born in the United States, people gradually called this type of vehicle a pickup truck according to English pronunciation habits.
Later that day, Prince Sumer, on behalf of the State of Lak and the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building Industry where Li Jinjun worked, signed an agreement to order one thousand improved Type 69 main battle tanks.
The selling price of a Type 69 main battle tank is US$32.
After installing air conditioning, the price soared to 40.
The total transaction amount reached 4 million.
After signing the order contract with the country of Lak, Prince Sumer signed an additional order for 500 tanks on behalf of the wealthy dog owner.
The first thousand were supplied to the country of Lak and taken to the battlefield to fight against Persia.
The next 500 vehicles will join the tank unit of the big dog owner.
After resting for two days, everyone set out to the Northern Machinery Group test site.
Five brand new pickup trucks are parked in the center of the test track.
The cab adopts the design style of 212 Jeep.
The front of the car is shaped like a jeep, with a 1.8-meter-long cabin installed at the back.
The local garrison arrived at the headquarters of the Northern Machinery Company in advance and worked with vehicle technicians to carry out armed modifications to the pickup trucks.
It is equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns, heavy machine guns and vehicle-mounted recoilless guns.
What surprised everyone was not only the weapons that armed the pickup truck.
And the color of the pickup truck.
Prince Sumer was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Lin, why is the color of your group's pickup truck so strange?"
"If the purpose is to increase the concealment of the vehicle, why not paint it all in a khaki color similar to sand?"
The colors of several pickup trucks are colorful, with the main color being khaki, but not entirely khaki.
There are other colors around.
Unlike the common khaki concealed paint on the entire vehicle, the concealed paint on the pickup truck is composed of blocks.
The idea of painting military vehicles with the main color of the battlefield environment to camouflage and protect one's own combatants and vehicles was not invented by Lin Kaifeng.
Britain had already started doing this in the 1940s.
During World War II, Britain and Prussia fought a series of battles in the desert.
Both sides painted their tanks the same khaki color as the Gobi Desert to cover their own tanks and avoid enemy reconnaissance aircraft.
This method has been used to this day.
However, the common camouflage colors in various countries are generally single colors.
In contrast, the pickup truck in front of me has a dazzling color.
It looks more like the skin color of a cheetah.
Don't say Prince Sumer doesn't understand.
Li Jinjun, who had followed along the way, also didn't understand.
"Compared to traditional desert camouflage, the camouflage painted on the pickup truck is more deceptive. I call it desert camouflage."
"Unlike traditional camouflage, desert camouflage can not only avoid enemy high-altitude reconnaissance, but even if enemy scouts conduct close-range reconnaissance, it is difficult to discover that there are combat vehicles behind these camouflages."
"It may seem that the pickup trucks are painted in a variety of colors, which is a bit out of place, but it is these various colors that can effectively blend the combat vehicles into the environment."
"With the improvement of military technology, human reconnaissance methods have become more and more diverse. In the past, the single desert camouflage was a single khaki color, and its concealment ability was extremely limited."
