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

Lin Kaifeng explained the differences between desert camouflage and traditional desert camouflage from multiple aspects.

Modular camouflage colors can effectively render the enemy's reconnaissance methods ineffective.

Even if scouts conduct close reconnaissance, they may be misjudged because of the parallel block camouflage on it.

Compared to tanks, pickup trucks are characterized by speed.

Flexible movement and various attack methods.

When attacking the enemy, you must be steady, accurate and ruthless.

While pickup trucks are fast and agile, they have almost no defense.

Once discovered by the enemy, it can be easily destroyed.

It is unrealistic to comprehensively improve the defense capability, so we should start with its concealment.

Enhance the survivability of pickup trucks on the battlefield.

With desert camouflage as cover, the vehicle's deceptiveness can be greatly increased when attacking and on standby.

Prince Sumer nodded continuously. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

Pickup trucks are exactly the same as other civilian vehicles. Not to mention defending against artillery shells, even an assault rifle can easily turn the vehicle into a hornet's nest.

In order to fully utilize the unique mobility of pickup trucks, we must not be easily discovered by the enemy.

"No wonder Dragon Country has been able to maintain its upward development despite being sandwiched between the two superpowers in the east and the west. I understand now."

This time, Prince Sumer felt relieved.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for introducing so many interesting things to me. I am also very interested in your group's pickup trucks."

There was a hint of envy in Prince Sumer's tone of admiration.

From the 50s to the late 70s, China was an enemy of the United States and the Soviet Union for a long time.

The two superpowers tried every means to encircle and intercept the Dragon Kingdom.

It did not affect the development of Longguo at all.

Especially in terms of military development, Longguo's achievements are obvious to all.

From a poor country, it has transformed into a military power with ballistic missiles, nuclear bombs, satellites, nuclear submarines and missile destroyers.

Longguo’s ability to achieve breakthroughs in military research relies on a large number of military scientific research personnel who have creative ideas and outstanding abilities.

With the assistance of a large number of talents, it is difficult for Dragon Country's military technology to be weak.

In addition to the highly skilled military scientific researchers, Dragon Country's entrepreneurs also possess personal qualities that other entrepreneurs do not possess.

Li Jinjun said with a smile: "If Your Excellency is willing to place an order, the relevant departments will fully assist the Northern Machinery Group to mass-produce this type of vehicle as soon as possible to ensure a large supply for export."

Prince Sumer said: "Although our country and your country have not yet established diplomatic relations, we are both third world countries. From this point of view, we are natural old friends."

"Since we are friends, it is only natural for us to have more extensive and comprehensive cooperation and business communication. We, the dog owner, want this pickup truck that can provide both transportation and combat vehicles."

"As for the quantity..."

After thinking for a while, Prince Sumer decided to postpone the order.

After returning home, Prince Sumer will suggest to the king to purchase a large number of pickup trucks.

Lin Kaifeng quoted a price of US$25,000 per car.

Purchasing 2,000 vehicles would only cost 50 million.

For a wealthy man like me, this amount of money is not even a drop in the bucket.

Prince Sumer is confident that he can convince the king to purchase a large number of armed pickup trucks from the Dragon Kingdom.

If there is no agreement on the spot, it’s not that we can’t make a decision, but we are not sure how much to buy.

The wealthy dog ​​owners put out a large amount of money to support the Lak Kingdom's attack on Persia.

At the same time, it had to support another desert country in its resistance against the Soviet Union.

Go back and integrate the needs of all parties before deciding on the specific purchase quantity.

This kind of military vehicle, which is inexpensive, high-quality, and capable of special operations, is almost the same as giving it away for free.

The stronger the military equipment of Lak, the greater the possibility of defeating Persia.

Only after getting rid of Persia, the mortal enemy that has been hostile to Big Dog for thousands of years, Big Dog can finally relax and export large quantities of oil.

A few days later, Li Jinjun and others reluctantly saw Prince Sumer and his entourage off.

In everyone's eyes, Prince Sumer is no longer a desert noble.

But the boy who gives away money.

He doesn't even know how to bargain when buying things.

No matter how much the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and Lin Kaifeng offered, Prince Sumer agreed without any hesitation.

Even though we haven't confirmed exactly how many pickup trucks we want to buy, judging from the other party's attitude, the number must be quite a lot.

Once an order is placed, the quantity must be calculated in thousands.

"You are a man who never forgets to do business."

In the office of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, Li Jinjun was in a good mood and teased Lin Kaifeng.

While helping the country, he also did not forget to fight for the interests of his own business.

Lin Kaifeng said with a smile: "Leader, this is called sharpening the knife before chopping wood. The country eats the meat, and our group takes advantage of it and does some small business of automobile export. It is mutually beneficial and a win-win situation."

"Small business? You call this a small business?"

Li Jinjun said exaggeratedly.

"Given the financial situation of the big dog buyers, they either don't buy, or if they do, they will buy at least 1,000 pickup trucks. The export price of a pickup truck is 25,000 US dollars, so 1,000 trucks would cost 25 million."

"My goodness, your Northern Machinery Group is really going to become a wealthy landlord now.

"Tens of millions of foreign exchange are no longer a concern."

Li Jinjun said half jokingly and half seriously: "You may not know that in order to raise funds for the transformation of the military-industrial enterprises below, I, the deputy minister, almost took a bowl and went out to beg for food."

"Let alone more than 20 million US dollars, even if it is 20 million domestic currency, the department can't afford it now."

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Minister, I'm really not cocky. Compared with the huge international arms business, 10 or 20 million US dollars is really nothing."

"Even if it's hundreds of millions or billions, it's just a drop in the bucket in the international arms market."

Hearing this, Li Jianjun said with emotion: "If you don't enter this market, you won't know how profitable the arms business is."

"I didn't know that these desert rich people would be so wasteful that they don't even know how to bargain."

"Let's not talk about how much profit the arms business actually makes. Just to say that this time, the military industry will have a little more peace of mind."

"Your participation has opened up a new line of thought for domestic military research."

Speaking of this, Li Jinjun was filled with mixed emotions.

Why didn’t we think of combining civilian and military technologies before?

The air conditioning and compressor technologies provided by Northern Machinery Group have comprehensively solved many of the problems that affect the installation of air conditioning in tanks.

The integration of civilian product technology and military equipment has opened up a new export path for the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Lin Kaifeng said: "Deputy Minister Li, I think this is not only a business, but also an innovation."

"If we want to stand out in the international arms market, we must not take the usual path. In terms of technology, brand, and influence, we are not as good as the Soviet Union and the United States. If we want to steal their food, we must take a path of arms export that they have thought of but cannot take, or that they have never thought of."
