"Comrade Lemon Lokov!" Wang Xuexin said: "If you don't believe it, we might as well go and see for ourselves!"
Of course Lemonlokov would not object, so Wang Xuexin took him to the laboratory to see the power of stripping.
But of course, Wang Xuexin would not show Lemon Lokov the cannonball...Lemon Lokov was also an officer with actual combat experience, and Wang Xuexin was worried that he would guess the structure of the cannonball after seeing it.
If this is the case, this deal will not go through!
In this test firing, Lemonlov personally measured the thickness of the steel plate, which was exactly 250MM. Then Wang Xuexin took Lemonlov and hid behind a sandbag a hundred meters away.
The reason why you have to hide so far and use sandbags as cover is because it is very dangerous to stand near the detonation trajectory... Of course, the long arm-piercing projectile with a tail fin will not deviate from the target by as much as a hundred meters, but the barrel wrapped with the core
But it will separate after launch and fly around uncontrollably.
If this is fine on the battlefield, it would be unjust if he was hit on the head by a cartridge during the test firing.
Although Lemon Lokov felt strange about this, he thought that since it could penetrate 250MM armor-piercing bullets, it should be more powerful, so he did so.
The result surprised Lemonlov very much. After the shell hit the steel plate, it did not make a loud noise as he imagined, but just a "clang".
Lemon Lokov was stunned for a moment and glanced at Wang Xuexin.
Wang Xuexin nodded, and Lemon Lokov immediately jumped out of the bunker and ran to the steel plate, then stood there in a daze.
When Wang Xuexin came up, Lemon Lokov asked in surprise: "How did you do it, Comrade Head?"
Wang Xuexin didn't know what was going on.
Lemonlov bent down to look at the bullet holes, and then asked expectantly: "Can we... buy this kind of shell?"
"Of course!" Wang Xuexin replied with a smile: "Otherwise, why would I call you here?"
"Great!" Lemon Lokov stepped forward and hugged Wang Xuexin, then held Wang Xuexin's hand tightly and said excitedly: "You are our benefactor, comrade leader! We will never forget what you did for us.
We do it all!"
It’s no wonder that Lemon Lokov was so gaffe-like.
Although they have purchased anti-tank missiles that can deal with Hans's "Tiger", this thing has certain limitations on the battlefield, especially if the enemy and we are fighting a tank battle, the anti-tank missiles are almost useless.
Ground... If enemy and friendly tanks are fighting in a melee and anti-tank missiles are used, it will be easy to accidentally damage our own tanks.
The artillery shell given by Wang Xuexin is different. It can be used on tanks and allow the T34 to easily penetrate Hans' "Tiger".
The T34 doesn't even need any other improvements... all it needs to do is install this gun and use it to take off the gun, and then it will have stronger armor-piercing capabilities than the "Tiger" plus better maneuverability.
As for defense, if both sides can penetrate each other, then what's the point of the Tiger's thick armor?
It can be said that as long as the bear has this artillery shell, the winner of this battle will almost certainly be the bear.
Therefore, this is by no means as simple as a cannonball, but adds a heavy weight to the swinging balance between the bear and Hans.
Wang Xuexin never let Lemon Lokov see the shells, but Lemon Lokov no longer cared about it. He sent a telegram to the General Counsel for instructions.
When the general counsel heard this, he thought there was such a good thing?
So I immediately replied: "If this cannonball is real, then you must buy it! No matter how much it costs, it is worth it! But of course, less is better!"
After the general counsel sent the telegram, he couldn't help it. He walked anxiously in front of the radio station, and then added to Lemon Lokoff: "Report the progress of the transaction at any time!"
In the end, Wang Xuexin reached the deal for US$10 million.
This is a conscientious price, and it will be recorded in the outstanding balance!
Lemonlov thanked him profusely for this, and almost regarded Wang Xuexin as his savior.
The reason why Wang Xuexin wanted to record the money as a debt was mainly because what he needed could not be carried out for the time being, and it would not be too late to pay it back when the time was right.
Lemonlokov was quite surprised when he learned that the cannonball was so simple, but he still felt that the 10 million US dollars was well spent.
He reported this: "Comrade General Gu, this is simply amazing! It actually uses a smoothbore gun... Think about it, how much money this can save us! We don't even need to produce other tanks. We use
T34 is likely to win this battle!"
The General Counsel did not think that Lemon Lokov was exaggerating at all. He knew very well what it meant if a gun could penetrate a 250mm steel plate one kilometer away and still have accuracy.
After the transaction was completed, Wang Xuexin lifted the news blockade on Belinnikov... He originally had an exclusive radio station that could contact the country to report intelligence, but it was confiscated by Wang Xuexin in the past few days.
Belenykov saw the radio and knew immediately what it meant: "The deal is done?"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin nodded: "You will have this kind of artillery shell soon!"
Belinnikov breathed a long sigh of relief.
No one knows how anxious Belinnikov has been these past few days. He even thought about stealing a gun to kill him... He does not have any grudge against China, but this matter can determine the fate of the bear.
Linnikov thought he could do anything for it.
But Belinnikov knew that it was useless, so he could only calm down and wait.
Now that he heard the good news, Belinekov, who had been tense for a long time, suddenly slumped on the ground like a robot with loose stripes and couldn't get up for a long time.
"What's wrong with you, Comrade Belinnikov?" Wang Xuexin asked doubtfully.
Belinykov did not answer. He was stunned for a while, and then suddenly covered his face and cried. While crying, he said: "The war is going to end! This... this damn war is going to end..."
Wang Xuexin did not try to persuade Belinnikov, but just patted him on the shoulder and walked away.
When stepping out of the factory, Wang Xuexin heard Belinnikov shouting from behind: "Thank you, Comrade Head!"
Wang Xuexin felt a little sad when he saw this scene. People who have not experienced war will never know the suffering of war, what war brings to people, let alone how people will feel when the war is about to end.
The Mao Xiong war is almost over, but the war in China will continue, and it may be very long.
After returning to the headquarters, Wang Xuexin didn't want to do anything. Even the documents Chen Songyong asked Wang Xuexin to sign were put aside by Wang Xuexin.
Wang Xuexin made a cup of coffee and sat in front of the window, taking a newspaper and flipping through it.
In fact, he didn't read the contents of the newspaper at all. He just wanted to use this moment of tranquility to enjoy the feeling of no war and no pressure.
