At this time, people like Robert, George, Joyce, and Jackson began to curse in their hearts. They were really shameless.
When I was bragging about Qifutan, regarding the engine, I boasted about the improved 800 horsepower or even 900 horsepower, but it didn't impress the other party. The reason given by the other party was that they simply didn't have the money to purchase it. This can be said.
But now, they mentioned that in order to get the other side to introduce 105mm tank guns, they wanted to send a few sets to the other side for them to test with their own 100mm smoothbore cannon. Now, they got excited and the tests were given for free.
There is no shortage of products, not only tank guns, but also engines! Moreover, it is their latest masterpiece, a 1,200-horsepower engine!
Now, except for Germany, which can build a 1,500-horsepower engine with its advanced industrial foundation, other countries simply do not have the same technical capabilities. The United States has also taken a different approach and taken the path of gas turbines, while the United Kingdom, as a veteran industry
Qiangguo also spent a lot of effort to produce it from their most advanced engine factory, Rolls-Royce.
1,200 horsepower! This engine has a 12-cylinder structure, and a single cylinder can produce 100 horsepower. This is the world's advanced level.
They have no intention of exporting it at all, and they will not use it in Qifutan. It is prepared for their next-generation main battle tank. Yesterday, Qin Zhenhua mentioned their 1,200-horsepower diesel engine, which should have been thought of at that time.
, the other party intends to want this kind of thing!
Now, the other party either says they have no money to buy it, or they directly ask us to send them a few such diesel engines for testing. Their faces are really big.
Qin Zhenhua said this sentence in English again. In fact, in this kind of negotiation situation, it is not the turn of a young man like him to speak. However, since the other party's marshal, such a courteous corporal, came to talk to him
, then of course I have to make full use of my silly role.
This was indeed unplanned, but Qin Zhenhua believed that Commander Huang and Minister Zhu could seize this opportunity. Now the country is lacking everything, including engines, fire control, armor, etc. We just finished talking about tanks and guns.
Go around to the engine.
It is impossible for the other party to deny it.
After Qin Zhenhua's words were translated, Zhang Baolin's eyes lit up. Although he had not understood it beforehand, since he wanted to introduce it, he had to introduce the most advanced engine in the world. The British had 1,200 horsepower engines. If he could introduce a few sets, he would dismantle them.
If you do some research, you will gain a lot.
This Qin Zhenhua, it's really strange. When we were on the plane, didn't he still hold on to his theory? He even argued with himself, but now, he suddenly needs this most advanced diesel engine?
However, no matter what he thought, in short, it would be great if he could get it, so he couldn't help but speak and echoed Qin Zhenhua's words: "Yes, if we can get a few tests, then it will be great."
alright!"
Now that everyone under his command had spoken, Minister Zhu was also smiling. He looked at the people opposite with frozen expressions and said, "We have a good friendship with you, and now we all have a common enemy, so
, On military equipment, we must work together and help each other, Marshal Cameron, am I right?"
What kind of joint help? We are obviously helping you, okay? Marshal Cameron did not expect that after he came, he had already negotiated the issue of forcing a 105 mm tank gun to the opponent. Who would have thought that this would happen again?
This unexpected wave of events, now, he is already riding a tiger and is in trouble.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have talked to that young guy. This guy is definitely a character who knows how to push his nose and face.
Marshal Cameron looked at Minister Zhu's face opposite and could only nod: "That's right."
"Then we will ask you to provide us with several tank engines of this type and let us test them. If we are satisfied with the test results, we will consider introducing the technology." Minister Zhu said: "In order to realize our goals
For the further development of the tank industry, we are also willing to sell the iron at the expense of others."
Of course you are willing, but we are not willing, okay?
The British knew clearly that they wanted to help the Eastern powers fight against the Soviet Union, but they could not let them obtain the most advanced technology. Therefore, their sales plan mainly focused on selling off their backward equipment.
If you look at history, this is indeed the case. Various technologies later obtained from Britain, such as the Spey engine, the planned Sea Harrier fighter jet, etc., are actually already backward.
Marshal Cameron was thinking about how to refuse. He had to refuse without losing his courtesy or making the other party feel disgusted. While he was still thinking about it, Commander Huang on the side had already spoken: "That's right.
, We can’t live our whole life relying on five pairs of road wheels. Our tank technology needs to progress and develop. This engine is too important to us. Although we are poor, we must also import when it is time to import.
By the way, Marshal Cameron, this is a major event related to our future fight against the Soviet Union. You won't refuse, right? I'm so happy today. We have reached so many cooperation intentions. We won't leave today. Tonight, we
If you want to have a nice drink, Marshal, you must come."
The expression on Cameron's face was uncertain. Now that the other party had said this, it was naturally difficult to refuse. Moreover, the other party said it in one breath without giving him a chance to answer.
"I propose that in order for our negotiations to go smoothly today, everyone chirp." Commander Huang was born in the army. Chirp, chirp, means applause. After saying this, he was the first to applaud, and then the others
Everyone also applauded. After everyone applauded, Marshal Cameron could no longer say anything.
The night wind blows against the windows, carrying the warm Mediterranean current. Although it is already winter in the northern hemisphere, the winter here is not cold. People here have never experienced the coldness of winter in the Asian continent. Therefore, few Europeans
The Eastern Expeditions finally failed in the severe cold of winter.
Coming to the UK has been rewarding, even huge. At this time, it was not yet time for the evening banquet to start. Qin Zhenhua stood by the window, looking at the brightly lit big city that had been shrouded in night.
I have a lot of emotions in my heart.
"We did a good job today." A soft voice came from behind, and Commander Huang walked to his side: "In this way, we finally achieved the expected goal and gained additional gains."
Commander Huang recalled the first time he met Qin Zhenhua, which was in the maintenance workshop of the No. 1 Machinery Factory. The words he said at that time were still echoing in his mind: use your brain!
This guy regards this sentence as a classic. He not only uses his brain when repairing tanks, but also uses his brain in other aspects.
However, I heard Qin Zhenhua sigh: "Where is it? If something is not in our hands, it is not ours. The words of capitalists are not credible, and politicians can only deceive people. Today
What they said was that in terms of tank guns, they only authorized it, and as for the engine, they only nodded with great reluctance. Therefore, we still need to make more preparations."
Qin Zhenhua didn't think that everything would be fine. Since he had occupied a precious spot, he had to play his role.
