Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

#362 - Chapter 362: I came across a Hummer by chance. Can I get one for free?

Gage-Dachshund Corporation is also one of the main manufacturers of ground weapon research and development. There are many uniquely shaped military vehicles in their Textron factory.

Qin Yang intended to change the subject, so, while speaking, he looked around. When he saw a certain unique piece of equipment, he immediately felt his saliva starting to flow.

It was a four-wheeled off-road vehicle, an incomparably wide vehicle. Although it only had four tires and belonged to a small vehicle, it was wider than many trucks. Moreover, not only was it wide, but the front of the car was also flat, giving it a bit of a Volkswagen Lamando feel, the kind that could take up two lanes on the road.

However, it was much tougher in appearance than the Lamando, with rugged body lines. The straight, upright windshield, exposed rivets, and tires with mahjong tile patterns all spoke to its identity.

This was a car for men!

Qin Yang's gaze fixed on the side of the car. The chrome-plated HMMWV lettering was very clear. If directly transliterated, it could be called Hummer.

In the 80s, the United States Army decided to develop a common 4×4 light truck to replace several models of military light wheeled vehicles such as the M151, M274, M880, and M561. The plan was for a highly mobile, multi-purpose wheeled vehicle, abbreviated as HMMWV. Therefore, Hummer was not the name of a company, but a code name for a military tender.

Seeing this car, Qin Yang's eyes started to roll. What a good thing! Since he saw it, he had to get it! He just didn't know if he could get one for free?

"That car is very good," Qin Yang pointed over and said, "Did you guys produce that?"

"No, that is AMG's new generation of military vehicles. They provide the chassis, and our company is responsible for helping to convert it into a battlefield ambulance," Clark said.

The Hummer is a sturdy military vehicle with an excellent chassis. Not only does it have ordinary transport models, but it can also be further modified into reconnaissance vehicles, communication vehicles, radar vehicles, fire control vehicles, ambulances, supply vehicles, and so on.

However, AMG also doesn't have that much energy. They produced a large number of prototypes, not only testing them themselves, but also handing them over to other companies for modification. After Gage-Dachshund Corporation got their hands on it, they started to modify it into a battlefield ambulance.

"This kind of car is really good," Qin Yang said as he walked up to the car. "This forehead cabin above the front of the car can be used as a double bed. It would be even better if there was a skylight on top so you could see the stars at any time while sleeping on it."

Sleep inside?

Clark's face was full of black lines. This was an ambulance! Only patients would sleep inside, but they would definitely not sleep in the forehead area.

"The space in the back also needs to be arranged. It needs to have a small kitchen, a small bathroom, and then a space for two people to sit face to face…"

"Mr. Qin, do you want a recreational vehicle?" Clark finally reacted.

Americans like to wander around, and RVs have a long history. There are also RV camps of all sizes in the country. However, precisely because of this, their main RVs are trailers. When they arrive at a certain place, they detach the trailer, connect to water and electricity, and it becomes a home. The front of the car can also be driven to the supermarket for shopping without delay.

But other countries are not like that, especially in the East. There are no RV camps. Even if there are camps, some people are unwilling to spend money to go in. They just set up camp in a scenic place for a few days and leave trash everywhere when they leave. In addition to kitchen waste, there is also more disgusting feces and urine. In order not to dump the black water tank of the toilet, some smart people have come up with the idea of using plastic bags, solving the problem and throwing away the plastic bags… The behavior of a small number of people during RV travel has caused the entire industry to be hated, so much so that some attractions refuse RVs to enter.

In the eighties, even fewer people understood RVs.

Everyone had stopped and was watching Qin Yang and Clark gesticulating and talking endlessly about a boxy pickup truck. They were all curious. What was Qin Yang going to do? Did he plan to sleep in the car?

"Mr. Qin, if you like it…" Nicholas also knew how powerful Qin Yang was, so he started to compliment him. However, before he could finish speaking, Qin Yang interrupted him: "No, I'm just saying it casually. Let's go, let's continue looking at the others. Don't let me affect everyone's visit."

Although he said that, Qin Yang was still touching the Hummer's body, looking reluctant to leave.

"It's a pity that the outside is just ordinary aluminum alloy, at most it can block rifle bullets. If you add another layer…" Qin Yang stopped when he said this: "Let's go, let's go see something else."

Clark's body suddenly shook. What was Mr. Qin saying? Could it be…

Nie Xiaoqian was silently playing the role of a passerby, very curious in her heart. What was Brother Yang doing?

If you really like it, let's just buy one. It's not like we can't afford it. Your income is affirmed by the old leader. Even if others are jealous, they can't say anything. If we modify it into an RV and live in it, is it for yourself? Do you want to drive this car and travel the world with me?

"Ahead is the new type of tank we are developing," Nicholas regained his thoughts and continued to introduce to everyone. "Our company has decided to make this tank the main export tank in the future. However, this tank will not compete with our Puma, after all, there are many differences between the two… Of course, we believe that the East also has a need for this modern light tank…"

The day's tour finally came to an end. After dinner, everyone checked into the hotel to rest.

"Brother Yang, did you take a fancy to that car today?"

"Yeah. A man needs an off-road vehicle."

"Then tell them, let's spend money to buy one."

"Spend money? If we can get one for free, why spend money? Moreover, even if I don't say I want it, they will have to give me one for free. When that time comes, we can drive this car and travel everywhere."

Give it to you, why? And travel everywhere? Do you think we have that time?

Forget it, let's just wash up and go to sleep. Nie Xiaoqian was already familiar with the days of Qin Yang being by her side. Sleeping on one bed is just sleeping on one bed, it's no big deal.

That's the one, the Hummer RV, so cool.
