Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Hu Zhenhua always thought that he was thick-skinned, but he didn't expect that Xie Zhiyu was even thicker-skinned. He kept asking Henry for assistance, and had already listed more than a dozen items, with no intention of stopping.

In order to prevent Henry from forgetting, Lao Xie even asked Wu Heng to make a list.

Hu Zhenhua didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, so he ran to the cannon and wanted to fire it himself!

There is no man who doesn’t like to have sex!

After the artillery set all the parameters, Hu Zhenhua pulled the rope and pulled hard!

Boom!

The shell was fired at a hill 563.9 kilometers away with an initial velocity of 12 meters per second.

It was a full half minute later that Lao Hu heard the result on the walkie-talkie.

"The shell hit the hillside of Hill 1475! The shell hit the hillside of Hill 1475! The armor-piercing shell exploded two meters into the ground! The armor-piercing shell exploded two meters into the ground! Please continue, two more shots and Hill 1475 will collapse!"

The gunner immediately shouted,

"continue!"

The ammunition loader stuffed the 40-kilogram shell into the barrel, then added seven kilograms of propellant and closed the gun gate!

After receiving the trigger command, Hu Zhenhua pulled the rope again!

Even in the 21st century, many artillery pieces still use tow ropes to fire!

The main reason is that the rope firing method is simple and reliable.

Some artillery pieces in later generations will also use sophisticated electronic firing devices, but they will definitely use rope-traction firing as a backup method to ensure that the artillery can be fired normally.

The simpler the method, the more reliable it is!

The shell hit the target again!

Hu Zhenhua's eardrums were jarred so hard that they hurt! He immediately thought of earmuffs! After asking around, he discovered that something as simple as earmuffs wasn't even common among the US military!

In that case, I'm getting involved in this business!

Hu Zhenhua stuffed a ball of cotton into his ears and continued to fire. He was having a lot of fun when Theodore came!

This guy is indeed a veteran in business. Seeing that Hu Zhenhua was having fun, he actually acted as an ammunition feeder and carried the propellant.

Hu Zhenhua fired more than ten shells in a row before he discovered Theodore with the help of Zhuge Lin.

He carried a seven-kilogram propellant bag as if it were a heavy artillery piece. Beads of sweat appeared on Theodore's forehead!

This guy is born to sweat!

But Hu Zhenhua didn't know this, he was so moved that he gave him a big hug!

"Mr. Theodore, how could I let you do this kind of work? It's so rude!"

"No, no, I'm just trying to help someone!"

Lao Hu took him to the lounge at the back and personally poured him a cup of tea.

Theodore had been running for a long time and was very thirsty. He didn't mind the smell of gunpowder in the water and drank it all in one gulp.

"Mr. Hu, I'm very sorry about those four locomotives. I wonder if I could be so kind as to make amends and give them to you?"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand and said with a smile,

"I never let my friends suffer losses. How about this, we just follow the price you gave to Australia?"

Theodore was delighted. He had originally thought it would take some time to talk, but he had not expected it to go so smoothly. He thought for a moment and said,

"How about this? I'll give you a 50% discount on the Australian price, and then if you order again in the future, I'll return to the original price."

Hu Zhenhua shook his head.

"I'm afraid there's no future. I don't know if this locomotive will fall within the limits of the COCOM agreement."

"Not here!"

Hu Zhenhua was choked. The thing he had been worried about for a long time was not included in the COCOM agreement?

Looks like I need to get a list of that stuff as soon as possible!

"Mr. Theodore, did you attend the meeting on the COCOM agreement? How do you know so much about it?"

"I didn't attend, but some of our partners did, so I learned a little bit about it. The COCOM agreement restricts three main categories of things.

The first is military equipment, including airplanes, tanks, cannons, etc.

The second is cutting-edge technology equipment, such as computer technology, semiconductor technology, electronic communication technology, aviation technology, nuclear technology and other related products and equipment.

The third is rare minerals, such as uranium, tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, and chromium. These rare materials are key raw materials for manufacturing high-end weapons and equipment and certain high-tech products.

Hu Zhenhua felt at ease. No organization would be perfect at the beginning.

This is such a pleasant surprise!

As the saying goes, every policy has a countermeasure. As long as you use your brain, you can always find a loophole!

In fact, no country can have absolute control. If you don't allow the sale of complete machines, then I will buy parts! Or buy civilian products with relevant technologies.

For example, in order to occupy the market, some manufacturers will display their most advanced achievements at various exhibitions, and then you can buy them.

There are also some manufacturers who are blinded by greed and dare to sell anything as long as they are paid enough. The most famous example is the Toshiba machine tool incident.

"Mr. Theodore, I completely agree with you. I also have a small suggestion. I hope to invite General Motors to participate in the relevant technical research and development of this heavy-haul railway."

"Mr. Hu, thank you for your invitation. We are willing to participate!"

"Hahahaha!"

Theodore and Hu Zhenhua got along better and better as they talked, and felt that they had met too late.

They didn't even notice that Xie Zhiyu and Henry had left.
