In an instant, everyone present looked at Du Fei.
Du Fei calmly took the microphone and said with a smile: "Comrades and friends, hello everyone, you are welcome to take the time to come. I won't talk nonsense, let's get started directly."
Du Fei knew what these people were here for, and there was no point in just wasting time by talking about useless things. It would be better to go straight to the practical stuff.
As the words fell, the door of the nearby warehouse where the tanks were parked slowly opened.
Immediately after a burst of "clacking" movement, a huge car with only yellow anti-rust primer slowly drove out from inside. Without exception, everyone focused their attention on it, some were surprised, some were calm, and some were calm.
Suspect······
At the next moment, Firefighter No. 1, which was moving slowly, suddenly accelerated. In the blink of an eye, the speed soared to the limit, reaching 45 kilometers per hour.
The roar of the high-power diesel engine echoed around, and thick black smoke poured out from the exhaust hole on the side, like a roaring giant beast.
This was specially arranged by Du Fei. After simple strengthening of the portable space, many flaws of this tank were made up. Even if it was so fast, it would not be afraid of mechanical failure.
This desperate attempt not only brought a visual impact to the people present, but also made them subconsciously think that Du Fei had absolute confidence in this tank.
Otherwise, it is impossible to allow the driver to act randomly like this.
In the blink of an eye, Firefighter No. 1 had already run around the test site. Although the speed dropped slightly later, it was still maintained at less than 40 kilometers away.
Then it’s not the seventh lap.
That lap was again on flat ground, but on a cross-country course.
The test site is equipped with trenches, bomb craters, and roadblocks to simulate a field battlefield.
After retreating to the off-road section, the speed of Firefighter No. 1 dropped significantly and was controlled at 25 kilometers per hour. That speed was considered slow, but it was definitely fast.
Suge's original T62 tank has a cross-country speed of only about 25 kilometers. In actual combat, the speed will be even higher if the tank and infantry work together.
By the time we got to that point, we weren't even surprised how many people there were.
In reality, regardless of what those people who came today said on the surface, Xiao Shao took it for granted in his heart.
Based on the technical level of flower cultivation, a T62 tank can be copied within a year, let alone a Type 59 with a new shell~ But the expert can see the silence, and the expert can see the door.
It’s too little introduction. Just by running the two laps, you can see that the power system of that tank is one level weaker than the Type 59 tank and Sugo’s T54.
For that matter, it is the complicated shell replacement of the Type 59 tank.
Especially the few people who came with Sun Qiwen had their eyes widened with confusion on their faces. We are experts in the industry. As the chief officer of the armored force, we have no better understanding of the level of domestic tanks.
In the next few years, the Type 59 tank, which was modified from the T54, struggled for more than ten years. It was not until those years that it became mature. However, the strong power of the Type 59 tank has always been a concern.
How did you do that tank in front of you?
Carrying a turret that is obviously smaller than the Type 59 tank, it can actually soar to nearly 50 kilometers per hour. What kind of concept is that! One of the people immediately called out "Director Lin"
But Sun Qiwen waved his hand, indicating that I should stop talking.
Sun Qiwen himself was not an expert, so he could certainly tell the difference, and there was a hint of simplicity in his eyes. Originally, I came today not half-heartedly to see the silence.
Although I know that Xia Yan is a person who always talks about trying to make money, I am still too skeptical about the fact that he copied Su Ge's T62 tank in just half a year.
Now it seems that no matter how good the performance is, if there is a problem with the vehicle platform at most. If the Type 59 does not have that power, the maneuverability must be improved a little.
At the same time, others were also whispering. The happiest person was Vincent.
Recently, our family has been severely squeezed in the Yingguo mainland, and now we can only stay in Xiangjiang. I am sure Du Fei's foreigner has really come up with a tank, which is a shot in the arm for me.
As an arms dealer with no ideals, firearms are only of the highest quality. There is no limit to mortars and rocket launchers being of lower quality. Tanks and armored vehicles are the real front-end products if you can get them. You need to be cautious in any country in Africa.
It's a VIP treatment.
As for the lower-end ones, such as fighter jets and missiles, we can afford them, so we just need to consider them. Bush next to Vincent looked a bit uneasy.
I served as a naval aviation pilot during the Pacific War. And I learned something about the T62 after I came here.
I am also very satisfied that flowers can be copied so quickly.
At that moment, Firefighter No. 1 finished the cross-country section, braked and stopped under the gun emplacement, preparing to fire live ammunition. The last moment, there was a bang!
The tank body suddenly shook, and a ball of fire erupted from the muzzle. At the same time, a bright line passed through, and it steadily hit the target one thousand meters away.
The artillery shells used tracer bullets. Although it was daytime, the effect was as obvious as daytime, but it could also show a rough trajectory of the artillery shells. Just now, everyone picked up the telescopes in their hands.
Watching the artillery shell hit the target steadily, a small hole was drilled under the 200 mm thick steel target. What followed soon after
It's the seventh shot.
Before two consecutive shots, the tank moved to another gun position and continued shooting..."Boom~Boom~Boom..."
He successively disconnected the cannon, moved the gun position, adjusted the various elements, and fired again. He fired more than seventy rounds in one go, and all of them hit the target.
That moment completely subdued everyone.
The most important aspects of a tank are non-mobility and firepower.
Now it seems that Duffy's "Firefighter No. 1" is online in both aspects, and it is quite wrong. That has not laid the foundation for a bad tank.
After a while, the shooting started, and the tanks stopped over there. A crowd of people immediately gathered around, looking here and there.
Not many people have asked to see the steel target for shooting.
Du Fei had already expected this and arranged for Li Geng to explain it beforehand, and also delayed preparing bicycles.
Those who want to see the steel target cannot go there by bicycle. After all, a kilometer away is a short distance to walk back and forth. At the same time, several technicians finished checking the condition of the tank before use.
Among the seven people who came with Sun Qiwen, none of the middle-aged men wearing glasses had a surprised expression. After saying hello to Sun Qiwen, he immediately stepped down slowly and called out: "Old Sun, is it him?" He laughed just now.
Sim has been leading people outside the warehouse to perform advanced maintenance on the tank.
Only then did I come out and continue collecting data.
When someone stopped me, I turned around and said "Hey": "Old Li! Why is he here?"
Lao Li took a few steps and stepped back and said: "Old Sun, it's really him! Did you think that...we haven't had the chance to meet again." Hasim's expression was simple, and he smiled bitterly and sighed: "Yes~
You have thought of it too."
Lao Li said: "Where is he now? Did he build that tank?" Hasim was stunned for a while and didn't know how to answer.
Logically speaking, I am the chief designer and chief engineer.
But the problem is, several key technical issues under the tank were solved by me. That would be quite embarrassing.
Hashem is a person who uses other people's achievements to put money in his own face, so he was firm and spoke. Lao Li thought I had nothing to hide, but he asked questions.
Regarding the tank, the two of them didn't mention a word. After all, outsiders don't talk much.
The two of them greeted each other and chatted for a while, and then Lao Li went back and said to Sun Qiwen: "Director Lin, the man just now was named Hasim. He was originally what you said was the top tank expert in the country. It's a pity...
····.”
Sun Qiwen frowned and could guess what was going on.
Lao Li continued: "Yes, even if it is me, in such a short time "It's too... too..." Lao Li said "too" twice, but he still doesn't know how to describe it.
Hashem's level is not high, but he is still a god.
As for the power system, there is no tank smoothbore gun, which is basically solved in China. After thinking about it, I can only marvel at it.
On the other hand, Sun Qiwen, after listening to Lao Li's narration, set his sights on Du Fei. I doubted Lao Li's judgment in the technical field.
Since Hasim solved those problems, but now the result is there, who solved the problem? At that time, Lin Tiansheng, who represented Ka Xiaozuo, came to Xia Yan without saying anything or laughing.
"Du, congratulations, your industrial capabilities impress me with admiration!" Hasim said without hesitation: "This tank of yours is no less than Sugo's T62 tank."
This is not the time to be modest.
Du Fei took it upon himself to acknowledge his compliment.
He also added: "Of course, my friend, not only is the performance not bad, our price is also much cheaper." As for how much it is cheaper, it certainly cannot be said in public. It must be discussed privately by each family afterwards.
Hasim understood and agreed to visit again tomorrow morning. Du Fei could feel Hasim's fiery eyes.
He tasted the sweetness last time and knew that Du Fei was a sensible person.
Moreover, Ka Dazuo personally tested the rocket launcher he bought and was full of praise. I was very impressed with the equipment provided by Du Fei twice.
This time, if we can negotiate an order to purchase tanks, it will be based on the current market situation of tanks.
The purchase price of Midea's M60 is about 700,000 US dollars, while Sugo's T62 is cheaper and is also available for 500,000 US dollars.
This is still their domestic price. If it is exported, the price will be increased by 30%, 50%, or even doubled.
As for Du Fei's imitation version, if the final price is calculated as 500,000 units, purchasing 200 units would cost 100 million US dollars.
This is only the price of the tank itself. Other supporting maintenance parts, shell consumables, and many other things have to be calculated separately. Even if it is not included, in the contract of 100 million US dollars, Hasim, as the manager, will receive a 1% rebate.
Not too much~
That's a million dollars.
After Hashem left, Said from Pakistan immediately brought people to join him.
This person's attitude changed a lot, he was rather arrogant and respectful, he no longer had a sullen face, and spoke very politely. Du Fei smiled inwardly, but he didn't pretend to be slapping him in the face, and he smiled more politely than him.
When you open the door to do business, you will always be taken advantage of. Only with a standard smile and enthusiastic service can people be willing to pay. There is no such thing as being motivated.
