Chapter 56 Money is not a problem
Without any hesitation, Abdul said straight to the point: "I want to buy your main battle tank covered with Xuanwu special steel plates."
"this"
Lin Chenran deliberately looked embarrassed, but in fact he was already happy.
Because Abdul is walking step by step into the trap he carefully laid.
Seeing Lin Chenran's expression, Abdul thought that the other party had concerns, so he said proudly: "Lin, my friend, money is not an issue."
Abdul had his own considerations. According to previous tests, the Xuanwu special steel developed by the 077 Machinery Military Factory was able to withstand Mao Xiong's T-72 tank shell attack at such a close distance.
And the thickness of that piece of Xuanwu special steel is only 100 mm.
Normally, the thickness of the steel on the tank needs to be 150 to 250 mm.
Calculated in this way, even the most powerful main battle tank in the world today will be difficult to penetrate a tank covered with Xuanwu special steel at close range.
This is why Abdul is willing to spend a lot of money to buy tanks made of Xuanwu special steel.
The defense is greatly strengthened, allowing the tank to survive in complex environments.
Especially if it can survive the armor-piercing bullets of the T72 tank, that's even more incredible!
Abdul: Although I am called a big dog, I am not stupid! Can I tell whether it is strong or not?
"Abdul, to be honest, our 077 Machinery Arsenal already has a design plan for a second-generation main battle tank armored with Xuanwu special steel."
"Due to insufficient funds and the fact that the military is not purchasing it, we have shelved the design and development plan for this second-generation main battle tank."
"The reason why the military does not purchase it is not that it is not good enough, but because the military budget is insufficient."
"You also know that in order to develop the economy in our country, everything must give way to the economy, and military spending has been cut by more than half."
Lin Chenran said with an embarrassed look on his face.
This is actually telling the other party clearly: "I have a design and development plan for a second-generation main battle tank, but the funds on hand are limited now. Are you willing to invest?"
I understand everything! ! !
Otherwise, why would Lin Chenran specially invite Abdul to watch this "spear and shield" showdown between the Xuanwu special steel from the 077 Machinery Arsenal and the T72 tank from Mao Xiong?
From the beginning, Lin Chenran’s purpose was to attract Saudi Arabia from the Camel Region to invest in the second-generation main battle tank designed and developed by their factory.
"Lin, if it's appropriate, cooperation is no problem."
When Abdul saw this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
It seems to be saying that funds are not a problem, nor is sales. Saudi Arabia can provide them all!
After Lin Chenran and Abdul looked at each other, they understood each other and hit it off immediately!
When the executives of the 617 Machinery Military Factory on the side saw this scene, they couldn't help but show envy and jealousy in their eyes.
They secretly lamented that the 077 Machinery Military Factory was so lucky that it was favored by a big financier from Saudi Arabia in the Camel region.
Once the big financier is firmly "caught", a steady stream of funds will flow into the 077 Machinery Arsenal.
…
After the temperature of target No. 3 dropped, Lin Chenran and others couldn't wait to get closer. They also wanted to watch the final result of this "spear and shield" showdown up close.
When everyone came around Target 3, they could still feel the slightest trace of residual warmth, as if reminding them of the thrilling test just now.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that the steel needle of the armor-piercing projectile was "stuck" on target No. 3, blasting a deep pit and a bulge at the back.
However, the most amazing thing is that it did not penetrate target No. 3! ! !
Everyone couldn't help but sigh: It is indeed Xuanwu special steel, its strength is simply outstanding.
You know, even the armor-piercing projectiles fired by Mao Xiong's T72 tank at a distance of twenty meters failed to penetrate it. This is really amazing.
Although a target reporter has just reported the specific situation of target No. 3, there is still a huge difference between seeing it with one's own eyes and hearing the report.
At this moment, the scene of target No. 3 was seen at close range, which made Abdul and others from Saudi Arabia in the Camel region secretly gasp.
"this……"
Afterwards, everyone left the testing site with mixed emotions.
When the top management of 617 Machinery Arsenal saw that the mission was completed, a stone fell in their hearts. They secretly issued an order: "Quick! Put this T-72 tank on the truck and transport it away. Don't give the people of 077 Machinery Arsenal any chance!"
After receiving the order, the workers acted quickly, carefully loaded the T-72 tank onto the truck, and drove the vehicle away at high speed.
The senior executives of 617 Machinery Military Factory followed him back.
They were afraid that this T72 tank would be left by the Yanguo military leaders for the 077 Machinery Military Factory to test "Xuanwu Special" steel.
Lin Chenran and others stood aside and watched all this happen, but they did not stop it.
Now that the test results have been obtained, the T72 tank seems less important.
Another point is that the 077 Machinery Military Factory has established an online relationship with Mao Xiong, and will be able to obtain scrapped T72 tanks in the future.
Although it is a scrapped T72 tank, it can still be used for testing.
After Wei Lao and other senior Yanguo military officials watched the Xuanwu special steel testing experiments at the 077 Machinery Military Factory, one senior executive was left behind to talk to Abdul, and the other senior executives then left.
There is no way around it, there are so many things to deal with every day, and they need to deal with them.
Mr. Wei has more important things to report to the leaders above.
That's right, it's about the Xuanwu special steel developed by the 077 Machinery Military Factory.
…
077 Machinery Military Factory
When everyone came back from the testing site, Lin Chenran asked people to arrange sumptuous food.
"Abdul, I specially prepared authentic Sichuan food. I hope you like it."
While Lin Chenran was talking, he warmly greeted Abdul and others to sit down.
He knew that this group of distinguished guests from the Kingdom of Camel Region liked food and enjoyed life very much, so he specially arranged a sumptuous banquet to entertain them.
The table is filled with all kinds of delicacies, and the aroma is fragrant.
There are classic Sichuan dishes such as spicy hot pot, boiled fish, and Mapo tofu, as well as specialty snacks such as grilled mutton skewers and hand-made rice.
In addition, a wide variety of fruits and drinks are provided, which are mouth-watering.
Abdul looked at the table full of delicious food, his eyes were bright and his mouth was watering.
He couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks, pick up a piece of boiled fish and put it into his mouth. He was immediately conquered by the delicious taste.
While chewing the fish, he praised: "Authentic Sichuan food is so delicious."
Lin Chenran sat aside with a smile, feeling very satisfied watching Abdul sweating profusely after eating.
He picked up the wine glass, toasted to Abdul, and said: "Abdel, it is a pleasure to cooperate with you. May our friendship last forever and create a better future together."
After hearing this, Abdul quickly picked up his wine glass and returned the favor, expressing his gratitude to Lin Chenran.
He said: "Lin, thank you for allowing me to eat an authentic Sichuan meal. It's so delicious, but a little spicy! But it doesn't matter, the spiciness is really addictive."
After saying that, he picked up another dish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, eating it with gusto.
Lin Chenran saw this and said with a smile: "Haha, Sichuan cuisine is famous for its unique spicy taste. Although it is a bit spicy, I believe you will become more addicted the more you eat it."
Abdul nodded in agreement and said, "Although it's a bit spicy, I definitely can't stop eating it."
"I've fallen in love with the taste."
Lin Chenran laughed after hearing this, and then raised his glass to toast Abdul again.
The two clinked glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
In the following time, Lin Chenran and Abdul continued to taste various delicacies.
