1717 New American Empire

After talking about the basic equipment of the infantry, both Xiao Lin and General Ma breathed a sigh of relief. The next step is the main event. Xiao Lin is going to buy armored vehicles and tanks. Why not artillery and mortars? Come on, Xiao Lin already has three artillery pieces.

Qianmen 54 series heavy grenade

Now the company can manufacture 60mm and 82mm guns and mortars. The 122mm and 152mm heavy howitzers have also entered the research sequence for a long time. Although the finished products have not yet been seen, the basic technical difficulties have been overcome.

In 1722, no, it will be 1723 soon. Not to mention airplanes, even airships did not appear there. Therefore, the company did not need anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and there was no use for them. It only had to be researched by itself.

Of course, in order not to let the Chinese side

Faced with doubts, he still purchased some of these things, spending a total of 300 million yuan. Jiang Jiang hoped that he would buy more, but there were not many of these backward gadgets left, and he also knew that the performance was not very good.

The solution is, if you can't sell it, prepare to resold it directly.

Xiao Lin's favorite armored vehicle is the Type 531H armored transport vehicle, which is actually the Type 85 armored transport vehicle. It is said to be the Type 85, but it actually belongs to the Type 63 tracked armored vehicle family. The vehicle family began to develop it in 1958, and the base vehicle is

531 tracked armored personnel carrier, mainly used to transport infantry to cooperate with tanks in combat.

The first batch of 531 armored personnel carriers were delivered to the troops in 1963 and named Type 63 armored personnel carriers. From 1981 to 1985, they were improved to B531, 531C, 531D, 531E, 531G, and 531K armored personnel carriers. In 1987, they were improved to 531H (also known as

Type 85) armored personnel carrier.

"General, I wonder how many Type 85 armored vehicles are still out of service? In other words, how many are still in normal use."

"Oh, so you want this car. Indeed, the Type 85 armored vehicle has now been replaced by the Type 99 armored vehicle. The remaining ones have either been magically modified and sold, or they have been retired and sealed. Wait a moment, I

Let me check it out for you."

People were about to leave the conference room and go to a special computer room to search for information. Xiao Lin thought he would have to wait for a while, but he came back in ten minutes.

"Well, there are currently 300 Type 85 armored vehicles left with full combat effectiveness, and 200 more need to be overhauled before they can be used. Among them, the YW382 120mm self-propelled mortar and the YW383 82mm self-propelled mortar have the largest models, with 200 vehicles each.

, there are a total of 217 vehicles with full combat effectiveness. The rest are basically WZ751 armored ambulances and YW309 infantry fighting vehicles. Other models have been modified and continued to be used or sold. If you want

, the whole vehicle is equipped with two base ammunition, a total of 30 million US dollars per unit."

"Ahem, I'm about to accept you. They are all second-hand old goods. You actually dare to offer this price. The money for African black corn does not come from strong winds. If I take this price, I can't make any money.

The money has arrived.”

"Then can you tell me a price?"

"Fifteen million for each vehicle, plus half the base amount of ammunition. I have ordered all the vehicles. I will deliver twenty of them this time. I will fully pay for the rest within two years and take away the rest."

"Okay, I'm happy enough, it's settled."

Xiao Lin felt something was wrong. He seemed to have been cheated. He knew those armored vehicles. They had served in the army for decades and they were relatively old. Even if they were replaced with new equipment, they still could not keep up with the mainstream. However, the price

This should not be the case. Xiao Lin doesn’t know that armored vehicles are really hard to sell. Those places in the Middle East and Africa that are often at war, except for a few oil giants and big countries with the support of the United States, cannot afford them at all.

Armored vehicle.

However, their market share has long been occupied by a few old arms hooligans from Omega, and there is no way for people from China to squeeze in. Besides, the Type 85 is indeed lagging behind. If the Type 99 is willing to sell, those people

I am willing to buy it, but the Type 99 is currently the main armored vehicle of the Chinese Army. Each model is in the middle and upper reaches of the world, so it cannot be sold. Only Pakistan, this kind of young man who is absolutely loyal to China, has obtained a batch of

.

They are all old guys, and no one wants them wherever they are. The auxiliary vehicles can still be used after being modified, and they don't need to go to the front battlefield anyway. The rest have no plans to modify them. They just return them to the furnace, and the army is really reluctant to part with them. Originally

They are all planned to be sealed up to prevent future changes in the world, and can be used by militiamen. Before it can be sold, it will not be more than 15 million, but it is still higher than the cost price of a new car. Old cars can be sold at this price.

Not bad.

As if they had realized that Xiao Lin was still there, each of the smiling soldiers put away their smiles. They immediately cursed in their hearts, these people really couldn't hold their breath. Next, there is the main event, why are you exposing yourself like this?

Xiao Lin was actually very desperate in his heart. He really couldn't play with these old fritters. He had no choice but to say it out loud, so he could only accept the Type 85 armored vehicle. It was just retired, so the price was really high.

.

The tank that Xiao Lin was interested in was different, the Type 59-1 medium tank. In the 1950s, China introduced the former Soviet T-54A tank production technology to develop and produce the Type 59 medium tank. The first one was produced in 1958.

Finalized production began in 1959. After more than 30 years of transformation and improvement, its improved series was derived. In the expansion of its uses, several variant vehicles were developed, forming a family of vehicles based on the Type 59 tank.

After the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, China decided to carry out the first round of improvements to the Type 59 medium tank on the basis of a full investigation based on the deficiencies of the Type 59 medium tank such as its backward fire control system and weak protection capabilities that were exposed in combat.

In 1979, improvements to the design began

Design, the product code was WZ120A. After the improvement plan was approved, trial production and improved tactical and technical performance tests were immediately launched. In 1984, the Type 59 improved medium tank passed the finalization test and was officially finalized, named "Type 59-1"

"Medium Tank".

China originally produced more than 10,000 Type 59 tanks. Over the years, they have been gradually modified into various models, and the sales are still very good. Many small countries even bought them and used them as their main tanks. In addition, they have been used over the years.

Experimenting with new weapons also consumed a lot, but China still has more than 2,000 vehicles in its hands. Among them, there are more than 600 Type 59-1 medium tanks that have not undergone any improvements. I heard

Xiao Lin asked about this tank, and the general and others were very happy.

"We can also find more than two thousand Type 59-1 medium tanks for you, whether they are existing improved models or you can improve them according to your own wishes."

"No, just add a little ceramic armor and install an infrared targeting system."

"Then why don't we change the main gun? Now everyone likes the 125mm caliber. No one wants the original 100mm caliber."

"Well, let's do this. Replace the main guns of fifty tanks with 125mm caliber ones, and leave the others alone. I don't have much money, so I hope to use ordinary tanks to train my own armored army."

"Then do you want to buy it all? There are 600 cars in total. If you want it all, I will give you a discount, 7.5 million U.S. dollars for one car, and 9 million U.S. dollars for the replacement of the main gun."

"Well, I don't have much money this time."

"That's okay. Didn't you say that they are mining a big gold mine? We can trade it in batches and keep them all for you. If the money is paid within two years, all the cars will be taken away."

"Okay, all-inclusive is all-inclusive."

"Good boy, you really solved a difficult problem for us."

"General, don't worry yet. We still have aircraft and ships to discuss."

"That's right, I don't know what kind of aircraft you want. I recommend this one to you, the J-8A. It is a semi-third-generation aircraft and can be used as a main fighter."

"Don't forget now. I'm here to collect junk this time. The J-8A is too high-end. I wonder how many J-5 and J-6 the country has left?"

"Xiao boy, you have to know that those gadgets are really junk. Not to mention selling them, even if they are given away for free, no one wants them. A few years ago, drones modified by J-6 were still selling well.

, now it is completely unsalable.”

"No problem, don't worry, there are no supersonic fighter jets over there at all. They are all helicopters fighting against the beams. Even if we lag behind, these fighter jets won't even be able to defeat helicopters. People have also said that now only the quantity is needed

, not quality. Without enough quantity, he can't suppress the enemy."

"Okay, anyway, as long as you can sell it and don't lose it, it's fine. How much do you want?"

"How many do you have?"

"As much as you want."

The J-5 fighter, developed by Shen Fei Industrial Company, is a single-seat, single-engine high-subsonic jet fighter. The J-5 uses a turbojet-5 centrifugal afterburning turbojet engine with a static thrust of 2,600 kg and an afterburning thrust.

3380 kg. The engine is from the Soviet Klimov Design Bureau

A replica of the VK-1F engine. The internal fuel capacity is 1,170 kilograms, and there are two external auxiliary fuel tanks of 400 liters. The maximum horizontal flight speed of the J-5 is 1,145 kilometers/hour (height: 3,000 meters), and the cruising speed is 800 kilometers/hour.

The practical ceiling is 16,000 meters.

Airborne equipment includes ultra-short wave command radio, radio compass, radio altimeter, beacon receiver, identification friend or foe, tail guard, range finder, etc. Two 23mm cannons are installed under the left side of the nose, and on the right side of the nose

A Type 31 37mm cannon is installed below. Two 100-250kg bombs can be hung under the wings. The J-5 and J-6 can actually be used as small bombers.
