Derek looks tall and arrogant. Humph, giving you 105mm cannons is already a kind of preferential treatment. What else do you want?
You don't need those.
"No, no, the existing 105mm guns are no longer enough to meet our needs," said Berg. "We need larger caliber guns to deal with potential threats, Mr. Derek, we use 105mm for this one.
The cannon tank is unacceptable.”
Berg directly expressed his dissatisfaction. We were not satisfied with this cannon. Needless to say, it was just a matter of artillery, which was a matter of principle.
"I can't accept it?" Derek pretended to be surprised: "You have never mentioned our exchanges during this period! We said we wanted to export the M1 tank. Aren't you very welcome?"
The other party started to play the rhetoric on the model. Speaking of which, the M1 tank is a 105mm gun barrel. The 120mm type is an M1A1 tank.
When you were communicating, you didn’t object to anything. Did you still say it until now? Are there any misunderstandings?
"Hey, Mr. Qin, why are you laughing?" At this time, Mahmood, with a gloomy face, found Qin Zhenhua smiling there, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"I thought of an ancient story of us." Qin Zhenhua said: "The name of this story is called "Baima" is not a horse. Do you want to hear it?"
Who wants to hear your story at this time? Derek is of course not interested, but Mahmoud in front of him became interested and said, "Please tell me."
So Qin Zhenhua stood under the M1 tank and started talking.
This was an ancient time. During the Warring States Period, a man named Gongsun Long from the Eastern Kingdom passed the pass. The pass official said: "According to the convention, people who pass the pass can do it, but horses cannot."
Gongsun Long was unhappy when he heard this. What you said was that a horse was not good, but I am not a horse, I am a white horse! A white horse is not a horse, it is just a matter of fact. After hearing this, the Guanye nodded repeatedly and said
: "What you said makes sense, please pay for the horse."
The story is very simple, and it was finished in a few minutes. Mahmoud nodded repeatedly, then looked at the M1 tank again and said, "Yes, the M1A1 tank is not the M1 tank, right? Mr. Derek?"
At this time, Derek reacted.
The other party turned out to be refuting his argument.
The M1A1 tank is not an M1 tank. The plan we discussed before was an M1 tank, so it was your fault. It is impossible for you to want a 120mm cannon barrel.
What our Congress allows exports is just an M1 tank.
But, if it comes to it, isn’t the M1A1 tank the M1 tank?
Of course, it's not a white horse? The M1A1 tank is just a facelift of the M1 tank. Since it's a facelift, it's still an M1 tank!
These two people are singing and reconciling each other, and they will definitely use this argument, saying that the export agreement for the M1 tank reached is a broad M1, and all of them are included.
In this way, it will definitely be arguing for a long time. Derek simply changed the topic: "You may have misunderstandings. Although we use the 105mm cannon, the power of this cannon is quite good and can fully cope with the current situation.
various threats.”
“What we need is not only to deal with the current threat, but also to the future.” Berg said: “Mr. Derek, if we make up our minds and buy a main battle tank, it may be in our troops.
, After decades of service, we have to see not only the present, but also the future. In comparison, the 120mm tank gun has more potential and can deal with various threats in the future, so we must 120mm
Tank guns, this is a matter of principle.”
In the Eastern Power, I was dissatisfied with the 105mm gun of the 85 tank. Since the body of the vehicle has been enlarged, it is naturally necessary to have a larger gun barrel.
Even if it is military aid, it will not be given in vain, and the total number is limited. Good steel must be used on the blade, and it is absolutely impossible for the other party to fool himself in this way.
Berg has already made it clear.
Derek suddenly felt a little embarrassed. When he came, he was full of confidence and felt that the tank would be praised by the Pakistani country as soon as it came up. Then he took the initiative to ask for it. But he knew that the other party was like this.
It's so troublesome, first with fuel, now with gun barrels!
What's wrong with the 105 gun? Just enough, why do you want such a big gun barrel?
"Mr. Derek, does your side have any hidden secrets?" Qin Zhenhua spoke again, and said unsurprisingly: "Your side's 120mm tank gun was not developed by itself, but was directly introduced into German technology.
Is it that when signing the agreement, there are clauses that are not allowed to export to third countries, so you can’t export it?”
What? What do you mean! Derek thought in his heart, how can we, the United States, care about export restrictions in other countries? Who can limit us?
Besides, we are not unable to develop it ourselves, we just don’t need to develop it. It’s just a tank gun. What we value is not guns, but shells.
Derek thought about these words in his mind, but how to say them was of particular importance. His mind was spinning and hesitated for a moment.
And this hesitation seems to be just confirming something.
So Qin Zhenhua came up, patted his shoulder, and pretended to be intimate: "Sure enough, you have this indescribable hidden secret. It's easy to say that we will help you come up with ideas."
Tsk, what are you doing?
Before Derek could react, the other party had already expressed all kinds of plans like a gun.
"It's too easy to avoid export rules. You can lengthen the barrel. German tank guns are 44 times the caliber. You can lengthen them a little to 50 times the caliber. In this way, they will no longer be German tank guns. White horses
It’s not a horse! Moreover, if the barrel is long, it will be more powerful. How about it?”
The faces of the old baba suddenly showed smiles, yes, that's right!
They are looking forward to an advanced tank gun, which is not enough for 44 times the caliber, and does not match the huge body contour. If it is replaced with 50 times the caliber, it will naturally be even better.
In this way, firepower will definitely be the king here.
If you are due to the export agreement problem, this is a solution.
Qin Zhenhua's suggestion is very good. It not only helped the other party avoid export rules, but also helped Lao Ba obtain stronger artillery. It was simply a killing of multiple goals in one go.
