American TV series

212 If you want to conduct actual combat exercises, you have to go to the border. It is obviously not suitable now.

Only fixed targets can be shot here.

Fortunately, the colonel brought enough people, hundreds of people worked together, and the site covering dozens of square kilometers was quickly completed.

First is the recoilless gunner combination.

Different from the photos I saw, where a broken cannon was fixed on the car with iron wires, they were shooting with faith, and they hit wherever they hit...

What was formally modified on the east side was a driver, a deputy and observer, and a loader. Not only was a 105mm recoilless rifle installed on the vehicle, but it also had a gear-screw structure elevation machine and a worm-gear structure steering gear;

The front frame legs are equipped with rubber wheels, and the left and right frame legs are equipped with lifting handles. They can be used with the rubber wheels to move the artillery short distance on the ground, and they are also a fastening connection between the artillery and the artillery carriage.

In addition, the artillery is equipped with a simple fire control system consisting of an optical sight, a laser rangefinder, a ballistic computer and a power supply.

After a dozen uniformly modified desert-painted 212s were assembled, Sean and Cardano boarded the Black Hawk helicopter with several people from the military.

The two missile destroyers of the Umbrella are anchored in the waters of Libya. Of course, there is no threat, absolutely not.

During this period of time, the Black Hawk on the ship has been lent to Kadozo for use. This is why Kadozo always talks about the Black Hawk. Among general-purpose helicopters, the Black Hawk is truly the ace, no one else!

A group of people were watching the exercise from the sky, and with an order from below, a dozen desert-painted 212s jumped directly into the desert area.

To be honest, if we didn't know it in advance, it would be really difficult to spot the 212 in the Mercedes-Benz at an altitude of 150 meters.

The dust raised was not high and did not exceed the car body, so it was not noticeable at all.

The exercise vehicle made many turns and rushed toward the front position along an irregular route with tactical maneuvers. It stopped suddenly when it was about 2 kilometers away from the target.

The observer uses a rangefinder to measure the distance, adjusts the altitude and steering gear to coordinate with the sight, and then shouts, "Car No. 1 has completed aiming, please launch!"

More than a dozen vehicles aimed backwards, and the captain shouted, "Three rapid fires, fire!"

"Launch!" "Launch!" "Launch!"...

"Dong" "Dong" "Dong" "Dong"

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Two kilometers away, a machine gun position with more than a dozen sandbags used as a target was blown up by artillery shells, causing smoke and dust to fly everywhere.

On the helicopter, Ka Dazuo couldn't help shouting "Okay"!

In the battles in Chad, or in the Sahara Desert, it is most common to use snakeskin bags or sacks filled with sand to build machine gun emplacements.

It is also the most difficult to deal with!

Now that such a good artillery effect can be achieved from a distance of 2 kilometers, Cardano is certainly happy. After all, these equipment are used by his soldiers, and they may soon be pushed to the front line.

Is it easy to use? Kadazor is from a serious military background. Of course, the Libyan army stretched his hips a bit, but the basic judgment ability is not lacking. This thing is indeed suitable for the desert.

It doesn't run very slowly, has light weight, is easy to maneuver, and has low logistical pressure. A jeep can seat three people and can hold more than a dozen artillery shells. It only takes about 20 vehicles to suddenly launch a fire coverage strike on an enemy position.

!

Compared with large-caliber howitzers that are difficult to move, this recoilless gun mounted on a vehicle is very useful. After all, there are not so many targets in the desert that require howitzers to attack.

After the 105 recoilless rifle drill was completed, the convoy withdrew and disassembled all the guns. The following is a drill for installing heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

A driver, a main shooter is responsible for firing, and an assistant shooter is responsible for loading the ammunition chain and quickly changing the barrel.

After completing the assembly, the convoy set off again. This time the exercise position was full of wooden rakes standing upright.

The drill involved rapid firing of machine gun positions to provide fire support for infantry and suppress the enemy.

The exercise was also a success.

Then comes the highlight, the 107 rocket launcher!

Ten 212 rocket launchers were mounted on the desert and began to conduct over-the-horizon targeting 5 kilometers away from the target position.

To put it simply, over-the-horizon targeting means hitting invisible targets. This requires professional artillery to complete the aiming strike without being able to see the coordinates of the enemy's position based on the calculated coordinates.

This is absolutely impossible for Libyan soldiers to accomplish...

To measure and shoot Zhuyuan, one must have at least a junior high school education or above.

10 vehicles, 5 kilometers away, completed the launch after the standard, and dense tail flames flashed across the sky. In just 10 seconds, looking at the target position, there was a rumbling explosion and smoke rising dozens of meters high.

Compared with recoilless guns, this thing has a faster rate of fire, more intensive firepower, and greater power.

This is simply a nightmare for light infantry who have little war experience in Africa and no protection.

The only problem is the bomb load. The 212 can only carry 24 shells when it does not carry fuel, does not carry a lot of water and food, and only carries it to the maximum extent, that is, it fires two rounds.

If the reloading speed is fast enough and skillful enough, 212 will completely lose its combat effectiveness in about ten minutes.

If you only carry 12 pieces...that's the 10 Second Man!

Shoot more, shoot faster.

The last remaining anti-tank missile is the Red Arrow-73.

It is a copy of the former Soviet AT-3. It was designed and finalized in 1978. It has a maximum range of 3,000 meters and its guidance method is manual wire control and infrared semi-automatic tracking.

The attack was also carried out beyond visual range. In order to prepare for this test, Cardano had a broken T60 shipped over.

Many times, the same piece of equipment has completely different combat effectiveness in the hands of humans and dogs.

And the gap between people is sometimes wider than that between people and dogs.

The compact Hongjian 73 launcher was placed on the sand. After the aiming device on the jeep was locked, the missile was launched at super fast speed.

A loud bang hit the target.

There is a round hole in the T60's turret. If it is hit by an anti-tank missile, it will not blow out a gap, nor will the turret be overturned.

Anti-tank missiles use the explosion of a shaped charge to create a metal jet formed by a copper charge cover to penetrate the armor, leaving only a hole.

The metal jet after breaking through the armor will cause devastating damage to the personnel inside, and many internal equipment of the tank will also be damaged.

The situation in which the turret was overturned on TV was caused by the metal jet hitting the ammunition stored inside the tank, causing it to explode.

The Black Hawk landed near the tank. Cardano personally saw the shooting effect and he was very satisfied.

In fact, there will be almost no such things as tanks in the war with Chad. If they are missing, they will be useless, and if they are too many, the logistics pressure will be too great.

Cardano couldn't stand it, let alone Chad, one of the poorest countries in the world. Toyota cars and weapons were all given by French supporters.

For the colonel, the biggest role of anti-tank missiles is that they are portable and can be used at any time to bombard those strong permanent fortresses or reinforced houses. Of course, they will definitely be used when encountering tanks.

All the weapons were displayed, and Cardano seemed extremely satisfied. They were not very advanced, but they were definitely enough to be used on the African battlefield.

The most important thing is that Sean promised to provide it in large quantities. It will not be like old Maozi or European products. The platform is there and there is no ammunition!

Of course, the weapons in the east inherit part of Mao Laozi's style. They are also durable and sturdy, but they are big, black and thick and are more suitable for use in desert areas.

Plus...it's cheap!!

No matter how backward the armed helicopter is, it is still an armed helicopter, and the price of 2.5 million is really not expensive.

The group returned to Tripoli in a grand manner, and Kaduzou entertained everyone with a simple banquet.

Simple, this is to show his diligence and frugality.

Anyway, he knew that the service team that Sean brought with him included chefs and food. For this reason, Cardano was very dissatisfied and lost his temper with his subordinates.

Sean's score is bigger than that of Colonel Taka, which is not allowed!

The next day, the two met again to discuss the purchase plan in detail.

200 armed helicopters, including 5 basic rocket launchers and 5 maintenance centers, Sean promised not to sell them to outsiders before completing the order from Kaduozu, with a total price of 500 million.

This is determined.

After talking about the helicopter, Ka Dazuo suddenly showed a bright smile to Sean. Sean's heart tightened and he immediately became serious.

"What are you going to do? I'm warning you. You must pay in cash or gold in advance. Don't even think about telling me about installments or anything like that." Sean looked wary. People like Dazuo Ka smiled at you. It's definitely not good!

"No, no, no, don't worry, I have money, Colonel." Colonel patted his chest, and then said with a smile: "What I want to say is, I am planning to purchase 5,000 vehicles in one phase!"

Sean:???

"What is a vehicle? It's a platform, paired with weapons!" Sean was immediately anxious. When paired with weapons, it's called a military vehicle. Can a military vehicle have the same price as an ordinary vehicle?

"It can be paired with weapons. I don't object to that. However, it is still no different from a small Toyota. It is a car, a civilian car." Cardano shook his head with a smile.

"Military!" Sean gritted his teeth.

"That's not for military use." Colonel smiled and said, "I want 5,000 cars, and I also want weapons. I will decide how to match them."

Sean's mouth twitched. He couldn't say not to allow Ka Dazuo to match it himself. After all, the biggest selling point of this type of product is its versatility.

He doesn't care how the colonel is matched, what he cares about is that his own interests cannot be damaged.

"You're making it difficult for me. I can promise you, but as for the price, we need to talk about it again!" Sean rubbed his brows, "First of all, the car, $50,000."

"It's too expensive. It's impossible. I bought a BMW for 50,000 yuan!" Ka Dazuo looked very angry.

"Man, a BMW can't ride in the desert with so many weapons!" Sean sneered, "I admit that this car has a simple structure, ugly style, and poor performance. It gets too hot during the day and freezes to death at night, but the skin of this car is durable.

, even if something goes wrong in the desert, as long as the driver is not stupid, he can just repair it and continue on the road. Even if many places are deformed after the collision, it can still run."

"If there is an oil leak, you can plug it with a piece of cloth and you can still run. If there are two missing wheel screws, there is no problem. If the coolant is gone, you can urinate. It doesn't matter whether there are doors or not. If the battery is dead, you can use the crank to start it and continue."

Even if there is only one frame left, you can still drive it, but those beautiful cars cannot!"

"What is a military vehicle? It is a vehicle that can still operate in complex environments and without maintenance and supplies. This is called a military vehicle!"

"It's not about superior performance or beauty. The kind of car that will clog the air intake due to excessive dust cannot be used on the battlefield. Or are you planning to build a maintenance center on the battlefield and invite a group of Europeans to do it?

Do you repair cars?"

Ka Dazuo opened his mouth and was speechless. Sean grasped the key point.

"$40,000, it can't be any higher. I'm not one of those stupid royal families in Saudi Arabia. Damn it, your purchase price for this car won't be more than 15,000. This is a civilian car, a civilian car, I said this is a civilian car!"

Colonel said angrily.

The reason why there are so many 212s is that Kadazhuo considers using them uniformly for the military. A unified model will put much less pressure on maintenance and logistics.

Sean tilted his head and thought for a while, then agreed. As for civilian cars, Ka Dazuo could purchase them from the east.

Unless Sean persuades the United States and Europe to impose sanctions on the Yanjing Jeep factory, insisting that it is military supplies and creating export obstacles.

DJI: Who calls me!

After being reminded by Ka Dazuo, Sean suddenly thought of something. After raising his hand to shut Ka Dazuo up, he reached out and rubbed his chin.

In fact, the 107 rocket launcher can be disassembled and purchased as civilian supplies.

This thing is too simple. It is just 12 steel pipes assembled together, plus a height machine, a steering machine, and an electronic ignition system.

Laiyang steel pipes are for civilian use. How they are used after export has nothing to do with the manufacturer.

The high and low gears and steering gear are not used to adjust aiming. When removed, they are two sets of gears.

The so-called electronic ignition system, when disassembled, is just a few batteries and wires.

As for the laser rangefinder, well, it is used for geographical surveying and mapping.

Infrared sighting equipment...This is used for field animal inspections!

Perfect!

By the same token, the barrel of the 105 recoilless rifle is also a steel tube.

Other tapered enlarged medicine chambers, breech block seats, and firing mechanisms are all disassembled, and corresponding needs for civilian supplies can always be found.

At that time, only consumable shells will need to be purchased as military supplies. For Sean, the protection fee that needs to be paid...ah, the tax that needs to be paid is much less.

Taxes can be reasonably avoided on civilian goods. Whether the money is intercepted in Africa through an agent or directly invested, tax can be avoided. It is very simple.

Taxes are the big fucking thing!

If you think about it, Sean doesn't care about the 10,000 that Chief cut off!

5,000 cars, one car is 10,000 less...

Damn, 50 million, I feel so bad!

At the back are the 107 rocket nest, 105 recoilless rifle, and Red Arrow 73. Sean's prices are quite competitive.

The Rocket Nest platform costs US$400,000, the 105 recoilless rifle costs US$150,000, and the Red Arrow 73 costs US$300,000.

In fact, the price of Red Arrow is on the low side, but the usage of this thing is very small, the most is the first two.

As for the purchase price of heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, Sean doesn't care.

This thing is sold by old people, sold in the Czech Republic, sold in Sweden, sold in Poland, sold in France...

They are all official, Sean is too lazy to compete with them on this.

In the final calculation, the overall price of the helicopter was 500 million, the 212 car was 200 million, 300 sets of rocket nests were 120 million, 500 sets of recoilless rifles were 75 million, 50 sets of Red Arrows were 15 million, and the rest were all purchased from artillery shells and rockets.

The total order volume is US$1 billion.

It looks like a pile of junk, but Cardano is very satisfied. Compared with those expensive tanks and aircraft, this thing is more practical, at least when dealing with rebels and African brothers.

Finally, Sean revealed some of his ideas for designing an airplane, but it did not attract the attention of Captain Cardo.

…

PS: First: the blockade continues.

Second: I suddenly have a huge headache today, will I...
