Chapter 1,114: Stepping onto the international stage for the first time
This is the first time that Varna has stepped onto the international stage and shown its strength in front of Westerners.
Vana has always been developing in Africa. No matter how large it develops, it is silent. Americans do not pay attention to Africa. Even the mercenaries of the American Blackwater Company reported that they encountered the powerful Vana organization in Africa.
A sniper attack would not attract the interest of big shots.
No matter how powerful it is, it is just a mercenary group. This kind of group sells its life for money and has no loyalty at all. Compared with the powerful war machine of the United States, it is too weak.
However, when they discovered that the Vana Group still had tanks, and there were often hundreds of them, they were no longer calm. Are they still mercenaries? This is more regular than a regular army.
"Where did they get their tanks?"
"Smuggling." Swift did not see the origin of the tanks from the intelligence, but he could guess that the Vana mercenary organization and Lao Maozi were inextricably linked, and these tanks must have been purchased from Lao Maozi.
Yes, after all, at its peak, Lao Maozi owned more than 50,000 tanks. Even if the old models are eliminated, there are also many advanced tanks, such as the T-72. The production of this tank is said to be 25,000.
about.
What now?
The total number of all the tanks owned by Mao is only 20,000, maybe even 10,000. The rest of the tanks are missing. Those damn arms dealers and those derelict officials who were responsible for the collapse of the Red Empire colluded with each other.
I knocked out a lot of tanks in Da Mao.
Not to mention two hundred vehicles, two thousand vehicles can be emptied out.
Since it is a Russian-made tank and the backbone of Varna is still an old man, there is nothing to doubt. They must have vacated it.
"Damn, they have so many tanks, what do they want to do? Are they planning to threaten us?"
"It's not a threat. They don't have the strength. Besides, the war in the 1990s has brought the reputation of the T-72 tank to a low point. Therefore, their tanks cannot threaten us and can only protect themselves."
"Yes, it's self-protection." Swift sneered: "Who still wants to use our force to threaten the big dogs? They are not afraid of our threats at all, they are already prepared! If
Our tanks really drove in the wrong direction and drove to the land of a big dog. These tanks will organize the first line of defense to intercept our tank troops."
"Then they are cannon fodder. These mercenaries are really not afraid of death."
"This is how much money the mercenaries make, and they are very smart. With such a posture, can we still get lost? Don't think that the T-72 tanks in the war more than ten years ago were weak.
They underestimated the strength of these tanks. They may have the appearance of Russian-made tanks, but they may have been replaced by Oriental Hearts on the inside.”
"What Eastern Heart?"
"The performance of Dongfang's 125mm tank guns is quite strong. If they use special armor-piercing projectiles, they are fully capable of penetrating the armor of our M1 tanks," Swift said.
Everyone's expressions darkened.
The land and border areas of Goudahu.
"Your Wana Group's actions were so fast, we were shocked." In the hot desert, Salman got out of his high-end Mercedes-Benz car, looked at the camp being built, and said with emotion.
The day before yesterday, they negotiated an agreement and paid the first month's payment. The next day, the Vana Group's transport ship docked. After the tanks landed, they drove all the way. Today, they arrived at the designated destination.
area.
This speed is staggering.
Vitalia smiled. It goes without saying that since the agreement has been signed, it is necessary to make money quickly. After all, the expenses start when the main force of their Vana Group sets foot on the land of the big dog.
Of course, she couldn't say that.
"After Mr. Qin contacted me, I made all preparations. After all, war often waits for no one. The sooner we get here, the sooner you can feel at ease." Vitalia said: "
We at Vana Group have always put our customers’ requirements first.”
"Well, it is really an honor for us to have a good friend like Mr. Qin. Now, the task of guarding our national borders will be left to you." Salman said, looking at a person walking in the distance: "
By the way, let me introduce you, this is the commander of our border area guard force, Your Excellency Rashid."
Rashid, dressed in military uniform, stood next to Salman. He glanced at the mercenaries who were busy setting up the camp, then at the tanks, and then said: "On behalf of the border guards, thank you for coming, but
, I want to say that these tanks of yours may not be able to compete with the M1 tanks."
At this time, a tank was rumbling over. The V-shaped anti-wave plate had been covered up by the steamed bun-like explosive reactive armor. The whole tank looked slightly more modern, but when I think of the 1990s
In that battle, Rashid still had no hope.
Behind, these tanks are really too behind.
"How do you know our tanks can't compete with M1 tanks?"
"In the war in the 1990s, the T-72 tank was in front of the M1 tank and had no power to fight back."
"That's because the T-72 tank at that time was the monkey version." Vitalia said: "And the tanks we have on hand are all versions used by the Soviet army at that time. They are not at the same level as the ones from your neighboring countries.
, Moreover, we have also installed brand-new artillery shells, which can completely tear through the front armor of the M1 tank. If you don't believe it, you can bring an M1 tank over and see if our tank gun can penetrate it from the front.
.”
"Really?" Salman became interested: "Okay, then bring one over!"
Big dogs are so wealthy that they don't feel bad even if they use the army's main equipment as a target!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They are all full of expectations at this time. Can this tank gun penetrate their own tank armor? You know, the myth of the M1 tank started from the war more than ten years ago.
It is said that even the M1 tank's own tank gun cannot penetrate the armor of its companions, which shows how powerful this tank is.
Soon, an M1 tank was driven over and parked at the training ground of the camp, attracting countless people to watch.
"We give you three chances to fire. From a thousand meters away, as long as one of the three shells can penetrate it, we can determine that you are capable of killing the M1 tank." Rashid said to Vitalia.
"You don't need three, just one. Use the armor-piercing bullets imported from the East!"
Mr. Qin introduced them to the big business of the Wana Group. Of course, their Wana Group also learned about the favor and took advantage of this opportunity to continue to sell weapons and equipment to the East. Whether it was the navy, air force, or army, if the big dogs had
Yi Shui’s Dongfang equipment naturally has to go with Dongfang.
The armor-piercing bullet imported from the East was moved into the tank. It was divided into two parts. The front warhead exposed half of the tip, and the back carried propellant. The special propellant cartridge was yellow and looked no different from Da Mao's artillery shells.
.
Everyone stepped back, and the tank crew on the M1 tank also stayed far away.
"Our tanks will definitely not be penetrated."
"Yes, when it comes to tanks, the M1 tank is definitely the best in the world. Whether it is firepower, armor or protection, it is unmatched by other tanks." At this time, the tank crews were still very proud.
From the looks of it, there is absolutely no problem with my own tank. Varner's tank is just ridiculous. What can compare with the tall and powerful M1 tank?
boom!
A ball of fire came out of the tank's muzzle. In front of the fireball, three saddle-shaped bullet holders were thrown away, leaving only the slender bullet core flying forward.
Fast, so fast!
The eardrums were stimulated by the sound of the explosion, and before they could recover, the bullet core had already hit the M1 tank, causing the entire tank to tremble. Then, hot molten steel droplets were visible to the naked eye coming out of the collision location.
Armor piercing begins!
The next moment, calm was restored.
"Did you see it? Our tanks blocked it!" the M1 tank driver said excitedly, watching the T-72 tank turn around and leave, heading towards the camp. They ran over and looked at their tanks.
Something's wrong, something's wrong!
There seems to be a deep hole in the front of the tank?
Something's wrong, something's wrong!
They opened the hatch cover and saw a mess inside, as if it had just experienced a terrible ravage. The last stop of a slender bullet core was the gunner's seat, which was completely rotten!
The opponent's armor-piercing projectile actually penetrated his own tank!
An armor-piercing bullet does not necessarily cause an explosion when it hits a tank. After all, armor-piercing bullets kill with kinetic energy and rely on a slender penetrating rod. This penetrating rod can cut through the armor, leaving a hole, and then, with thousands of friction generated
The high temperature enters the inside of the tank and keeps bouncing inside.
If it encounters a person, it will mince the person. If it encounters an artillery shell, it will light the shell and let the tank explode. If it encounters a fuel tank, it will pierce the fuel tank and let the tank leak.
There are no artillery shells inside Goudahu's M1 tank. They usually just drive the tank around without loading training ammunition. So now, it looks fine on the outside, except for a hole in the front. In fact, the inside is already terrible.
"It can still be used after some repairs." Vitalia walked over, glanced at it, and said calmly.
It is absolutely no problem to be able to penetrate the M1 of the big dog, because the M1 of the big dog is the monkey version.
The M1 tanks used by the Yankees use Chobham armor. Starting with the M1A1 used by the Americans, they have been replaced with depleted uranium armor, but what about the exported ones?
No one knows what model it is, but it is definitely inferior to Chobham's armor. Even with Lao Maozi's own armor-piercing bullets, it can penetrate perfectly.
But the big dog owners don’t know.
Looking at the appearance of the tank, Rashid completely gave in: "The tank you used Oriental armor-piercing bullets is indeed different from the export type, and its power is greatly increased. We are very satisfied."
"That's right, this car doesn't need to be repaired anymore, so it's better to give it up." Salman said: "Next, we will purchase a batch of brand-new tanks from the East!"
There is no big family, but there is definitely no shortage of money. Now I see that the American M1 tank is so weak, of course I am very dissatisfied. Since the East has such awesome tank guns, of course there are even better tanks, so I might as well import them from the East.
Vitalia smiled and said nothing. These matters had nothing to do with her, and she did not express an opinion.
"By the way, next, we are going to the port to welcome the aircraft carrier fleet back. Do you want to go with us?" Salman issued an invitation.
"The return of the aircraft carrier is of great significance. The security of your port must be strengthened. I think it is best for me to take our Vana there to help you protect the port."
Even if this is a mission, the hiring fee is higher!
Salman thought for a moment and then nodded: "Yes, we do need your security work. How about you being responsible for the perimeter security?"
"good."
The land area of the big dog family is very large, and the coastline is also very long. However, the most difficult thing for the big dog family is that the ocean next to them is in the shape of a long strip, and they are not directly next to the ocean.
According to geographical location, Goudahu's navy is also divided into two fleets, the eastern and the western fleets, with the eastern fleet in the Gulf of Rest and the western fleet in the Red Sea.
Opposite the Parthian Bay is the Parthian Kingdom, so there are many inconveniences. At the same time, the United States is planning a war. If the aircraft carrier of the big dog is anchored there, it will encounter a lot of trouble.
In comparison, the coast of the Red Sea is much better. The countries opposite here are relatively weak, and many of them have good relations with the big players. The aircraft carrier will be safer. When the big players first ordered the aircraft carrier, they put it in the Red Sea.
The Faisal Naval Base in Jeddah along the coast has been identified as the aircraft carrier's berthing port.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jeddah is located in the south of the middle of the western coastline of Goudahu. It is the second largest city in Goudahu and is also the largest port.
The most important financial center for large investors.
When the war between the two countries lasted for eight years, the major oil companies were not affected at all. This was because most of the oil produced by the major oil companies was exported through the ports on the west coast. No matter what kind of ship attacks or blockades of the straits, they would not be affected.
Big dog owner.
Now, the Jeddah Naval Base is bustling with activity, with countless people standing on the pier, looking at the sea, waiting.
Salman and others did not stand in a conspicuous position to avoid risks. This was also Varna's arrangement.
Vana personnel are on the periphery, occupying various commanding heights, controlling various traffic arteries, conducting strict checks on passing vehicles, and responding to possible dangers at any time.
Vitalia, the person in charge of Vana, stood quietly in front of the welcoming crowd. She put on a robe, covering her body tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes. This outfit made the people next to her stand out.
Qin Tao was very curious.
"Weina, are you doing as the Romans do?"
"Qin, don't tell me, this kind of clothes is really suitable for a place like this. If you wrap it tightly, you won't be exposed to the sun. At the same time, it can make you look inconspicuous." Vitalia said.
: "Look at you, you look like an important person in a suit and tie. Aren't you afraid of being stared at by a sniper rifle?"
"I'm afraid there are already a lot of sniper rifles ambushing nearby, right?" Qin Tao said with a smile: "With your people here, what should I be afraid of?"
When Salman listened to the exchange between Qin Tao and Vitalia, he knew that the relationship between the two was better than imagined.
"Coming, coming!" At this moment, someone shouted.
Everyone looked into the distance, and sure enough, a shadow of a mast appeared on the sea. The mast gradually grew larger, revealing the outline of a polyhedron. The phased array radar antenna above was clearly visible. This was the aircraft carrier Fahd.
Ship island mast!
Then, the ship island was exposed, and the masts and superstructures of other escorting warships were also exposed.
finally reached!
After a long voyage, Goudahu’s aircraft carrier is finally back!
The sailors of the big dog family have lined up at the edge of the deck, standing neatly, and they are being inspected in this way!
"No. 8 berth, let them come to No. 8 berth!"
The aircraft carrier has a deep draft and requires a large space for maneuvering. Therefore, the aircraft carrier's dedicated berth must be large enough. The Faisal Naval Base, a major powerhouse, has prepared four berths for the aircraft carrier.
That's right, four.
In many cases, American aircraft carriers would park here and spend money. The stars and stripes floating on the aircraft carrier made many people unhappy. Now, it is finally the turn of the big dog to get its own aircraft carrier!
Everyone is looking at this huge aircraft carrier and watching it gradually approach.
Suddenly, there was a huge roar in the sky. They looked up and saw a fleet of carrier-based aircraft flying in!
There is a leading aircraft in front, a three-plane formation behind, and a three-plane formation on the left and right. These ten fighter planes form an eagle that is ready to fly!
Countless people waved at the aircraft. These fighter planes are all part of the aircraft carrier's combat effectiveness!
They have an aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft, and, just now, they are world-class!
Thinking of this, countless people feel excited.
Fighters roared past, and several helicopters flew in. These helicopters were arranged in a simple straight line. It didn't look very spectacular, but there seemed to be something hanging underneath the helicopters?
When the helicopters flew closer, they could finally see clearly that under the first helicopter was their national flag, under the second helicopter was the navy's flag, and under the third helicopter was a banner with their flag on it.
The slogan is written in the language: It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others!
Seeing this slogan, Salman sighed with emotion: "Mr. Qin, you are really well-intentioned. Yes, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Only when we are strong can we protect our wealth!"
As the plane flew over, the aircraft carrier gradually approached. With the help of several tugboats, the aircraft carrier Fahd docked accurately on the pier. After it stopped, the bridge was set up, and a group of people could not wait to run.
Go up.
They are indeed anxious.
This is the aircraft carrier they have been thinking about day and night! Not everyone has the opportunity to go to the East to see this aircraft carrier under construction. It is the first time for many of them to see it!
On the deck, Mutailil was wearing a brand new military uniform, standing with the senior commanders of the aircraft carrier behind him, watching the leaders coming up, and shouted loudly: "Report, the aircraft carrier Fahd has returned home gloriously, please leaders
instruct!"
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Serve the country," Moutail shouted.
When he shouted this slogan, all the leaders were very satisfied. On the way back from the East, he not only overcame various difficulties and defeated various enemies, but even his consciousness improved.
In the past, soldiers from big families would never shout such slogans spontaneously.
"This aircraft carrier is so beautiful!" Standing on the deck, they could feel the power of this aircraft carrier even more. They looked at the island on the side, at the flags flying on the top of the island, and then at the large area.
The deck is very impressive.
However, not everyone went up. Salman watched a group of people pass by with cheers and cheers, but he still stayed where he was.
He was looking at other warships.
No. 168 also moved over. Compared with the huge aircraft carrier, this warship did not need the help of a tugboat and slowly moved to the No. 7 berth next to the No. 8 berth. The whole process was completed in one go, which reflected the excellent quality of the sailors.
"Come on, let's go up and have a look." Salman said.
The soldiers from the East also put on white uniforms and stood in a circle around the side of the ship. However, the leaders of Goudahu went to visit the aircraft carrier, and few people paid attention to the warship.
Except Salman.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course Salman knows that an aircraft carrier cannot fight alone and must have a large number of escort warships. The 052C destroyer will be the backbone of the Goudahu Navy's aircraft carrier formation in the future. This kind of warship is more
important.
"Thank you for your hard work." Qin Tao walked up to the deck and said to the naval officers and soldiers standing on the front deck.
"Serve the people!" everyone shouted in unison.
Li Pingfan walked up: "President Qin, do you want to visit our warship?"
"Of course, this warship has been in service for several years. As the builder, our shipyard also wants to hear your opinions on its use and any areas that need improvement," Qin Tao said.
Vitalia followed Qin Tao and got on the boat. She was very satisfied with such a big guy, but she also knew that it was impossible for her mercenary organization to have such a big guy, otherwise it would be too many
If you think about it, it will not end well in the end.
It’s good to be a spectator now and broaden your horizons.
Hearing what Qin Tao said needed improvement, Li Pingfan quickly shook his head: "No, the quality of this warship is very good and there is no need for improvement!"
Are you kidding me? In front of foreigners, can you say that our warships are not good? Of course warships need improvement, but they have been reported internally many times. Experts from Mingzhou Shipyard even went to sea with the warships several times to experience it.
.
Various problems that need improvement have been completely solved on 052D and 055. Now of course we have to give a negative answer: nothing!
Qin Tao nodded: "Did the joint drill with that aircraft carrier go smoothly this way?"
"Yes, it went very smoothly, including sharing information with the early warning helicopter, etc., everything has been tested."
Salman nodded when he heard this. He was right to choose this kind of warship!
"Is there really no problem?"
After hearing Qin Tao's question, Li Pingfan thought for a while and then said: "The only problem is that the cooling effect of the air conditioner inside our warship is so good. Everyone has to cover themselves with quilts when they sleep at night, otherwise they will freeze.
.”
Not bad! Qin Tao nodded with satisfaction. A warship captain must not only have excellent qualities, but also be flexible and resourceful, so that he can easily deal with various problems.
