In order to win the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union went to war and manufactured huge amounts of equipment. In this regard, the Americans, who had better economic and technological conditions, were the only ones in the world and reached the top.
To give a random example, the Americans built bombers after World War II. The only three series that the world knows well are the B-52, B1, and B2. But in fact, the Americans also built many bombers that are not well-known.
For example, the first B-36 "Peacemaker" capable of performing intercontinental bombing missions and equipped with six piston engines in reverse, 384 were built.
The world's first practical strategic jet bomber, the B-47 Stratojet, of which 2,060 were built.
The XB-70 ‘Valkyrie’ can fly at Mach 3 ultra-high speed.
These three types of bombers were of little use. The first two were retired within a few years, while the latter was unparalleled in performance but could not adapt to the times and was discontinued.
It's so pitiful that rabbits are still playing with 'Picture-16', and the number is still very limited.
As an opponent of the American emperor, the furry bear is limited by economy and technology, so it makes fewer toys. But compared to other poor people, it has a lot of toys in its hands, often worth tens of thousands.
Zhou Qingfeng ran to the Kiev Military Region, used four suitcases full of "gold" as a stepping stone, and blocked the door to the commander of the military region, General Chechevatov.
Not long after Colonel Isaac's reception, another major general came to convey the order, allowing Zhou Qingfeng to go to the warehouse in the military region to choose at will. After all, these things will have nothing to do with them in a few months.
If you don’t sell it now, when will you wait?
Looking at the watch, it is already late at night.
No one was sleepy at all, so Zhou Qingfeng took Marco Shi, accompanied by Colonel Isaacov, and drove to the warehouse of the Sixth Guards Tank Army.
A group army consists of tens of thousands of people, stationed in an area covering hundreds of kilometers. There are anywhere from a thousand to eight hundred warehouses of different security levels.
Isakov took four armed soldiers and personally drove a UAZ-452 off-road command vehicle on the road.
This car is called "Soviet Bread". It has a round head and a round head that resembles a minivan, and the headlights look like eyes and are cute. Its exterior and interior are simple and rough, everything is practical, and there are no seat belts.
The ‘452’ was still a model from the 1960s, but it was produced until the new millennium. In inland ports such as Erenhot and Manzhouli, you can often see this shabby car running around.
Despite its unimpressive appearance, this car is highly maneuverable, has four-wheel drive, can be towed and loaded, can climb mountains and ford water easily, and can be driven in all weather and all terrains.
This is a standard military vehicle, a "travel tool for citizens of Soviet Socialist Union countries to enjoy a better life." To put it simply - it's a good job, it won't wear out.
In order to have good field capabilities, the suspension of this car is particularly stiff. It can run on any bad road, but the ride experience is surprisingly poor - if you don't have a strong butt, it's better not to get into this kind of car.
Colonel Isaacov was venting some grievances, and the steering wheel twisted around. Four armed soldiers clamped Zhou Qingfeng and Marco Shi in the back seat, and they all bumped around in the car together.
Zhou Qingfeng complained a lot when Marcus drove a broken Lada before. Now the carriage of the Soviet Bread was filled with the smell of oil. Even though he had a body made of iron, he couldn't bear the torture.
"Colonel, can you drive slower?" Zhou Qingfeng shouted loudly.
Isaac ignored him and drove harder. It was as if he could hear the sound of the bottom of the car hitting the road. It was like a trampoline was installed in the car, bouncing up and down.
Zhou Qingfeng became angry. He took the AK-74 from the hand of the Maozi soldier beside him, turned on the safety button and thrust it toward the roof of the car.
The sudden gunshot finally made the colonel brake. The soldiers and Marcos in the car were startled and quickly grabbed something to steady themselves.
Everyone turned to look at Zhou Qingfeng. Another Maozi soldier tried to turn the muzzle of his gun. Zhou Qingfeng hit him under the ribs with a small elbow, causing the other soldier to arch his body in pain.
The gunpowder gas sprayed from the muzzle is mixed with the smell of oil, which is pungent and unpleasant.
Zhou Qingfeng turned the rifle's safety off with a straight face and threw it back to the soldier who had taken it away. He stared at the colonel who turned his head and said in a deep voice: "I am a guest, you should welcome me with salt and bread."
The soldier who had his gun taken away was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't figure out how the weapon he was holding was snatched away. Marcos, who was in the other row in the back seat, tensed up and looked left and right. Once the situation got out of control, he would also
Seize the gun to save your life.
Colonel Isakoff seemed to have just met Zhou Qingfeng, and he also didn't understand how this guy could get the gun. He stared at the soldier who had the gun taken away even more viciously, and shouted sternly: "When you get back, go to the solitary room and stay there for three days."
.”
The soldier who had his gun taken away seemed to have been greatly insulted. He grabbed his AK-74 again, said "yes", and then stared at Zhou Qingfeng, who had greatly embarrassed him, as if he wanted to bite the Chinese to death.
The car was back on the road, but it was driving much more smoothly.
The colonel remained silent, but Zhou Qingfeng squeezed into the co-pilot from the back seat and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"The largest equipment depot of the Army Group is not in Kiev, but in Kharkov in the east." The colonel was finally willing to speak honestly.
"Why don't you ask me what I want?"
"Tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, and even the latest MiG-29 fighter jets. As long as you pay, you can buy them all."
"What the hell, what am I doing?"
Oh..., the 'Soviet Bread' braked and stopped again.
Isakov asked in surprise, "Aren't you here to sell arms for your country? We are a front-line force here, with the best weapons and equipment in the Soviet Union."
You are not the first one to explore the road. I have already received several groups of people. Arms dealers from all over the world have turned their attention to us. It’s just that no one has given four boxes of gold at once."
Zhou Qingfeng shouted even louder: "I am a legitimate businessman, not an arms dealer."
The faces of everyone in the carriage suddenly tightened and they stared coldly.
Marco Shi glanced around a few times and let out a chuckle as if he couldn't hold back his laughter.
The four armed soldiers also laughed. The laughing colonel could not hold his face, and said to Zhou Qingfeng in a teasing way: "I have never seen you so shameless. You are not an arms dealer, why are you here with us?"
Che..., Zhou Qingfeng ignored the laughter and teasing, took out a stack of dollars from his pocket, and then distributed them to the soldiers in the carriage one by one, and finally put the remaining half into Isaac's hand.
"Are you trying to bribe me?" The colonel looked down at the money and then at Zhou Qingfeng.
"Do you want to refuse?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
The soldiers were stunned when they collected the money. They looked at Zhou Qingfeng first and then at the colonel.
Isaachu also looked at his men. After a few seconds, he said in frustration: "Take it, accept it all. This is the inheritance given to us by the motherland."
The colonel put his share into his pocket, seemingly taking it lightly. But Zhou Qingfeng could feel the other person's hand shaking, and he sighed: "Just get used to it."
"Yes, you just get used to it." The colonel restarted and asked as if accepting his fate, "Mr. Zhou, what do you want?"
Zhou Qingfeng patted the passenger seat and said, "Although your off-road vehicles are uncomfortable to sit on, they run fine. I want as many as I want."
The colonel nodded, "You will have it."
"I want all kinds of trucks, both light and heavy."
The colonel also nodded, "This is not difficult."
"Where's the construction machinery?"
"Yes, the group army has a specialized engineering unit. It has the best field engineering machinery."
"Can I hire your people? For example, be trained in the use of construction machinery, or simply come back to China with me to do engineering work."
"This is a bit difficult. The key lies in whether your country will grant you a visa. It's easy here, just spend money."
"Besides, the main reason I came here this time was to get a plane."
"fighter?"
"No, it's an IL-76 transport plane."
"You've come to the right place. Military transport aircraft are all under the control of military regions. Specifically, the 17th Air Force Group is in charge. They don't just have IL-76s."
Isaachu turned his head and looked at Zhou Qingfeng, and asked with a rare smile: "Don't you want a few 'White Swans'?"
Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "I don't want things that are impractical."
