"General, you have to know, a model upgrade ......"

"Thank you, we know each other too well, you don't need to talk about these high-sounding reasons, let's talk about the price first!"

There was no tension between the two of them like Ibrahim and Zheng Yucheng negotiating, not even a negotiation, as if they were discussing the sale of cabbage.

"Have you seen our upgraded version of the tank?" Xie Kai didn't want to negotiate the price first.

Even if it is only 200,000 US dollars, this product will be too expensive, and the price will be bargained.

"I was worried about those anti-tank missiles! Plus you're out of college, I'm worried that your side will affect the deal. Ibrahim said to Xie Kai seriously.

He was still worried, but he had a reason to convince President Dumb Oki.

Whether Xie Kai's college attendance will affect trading is important to Ibrahim.

Even the Iraqi Ministry of Defense is worried about this problem.

"Don't worry, unless I forcibly don't come back, I won't be able to leave this unit for the rest of my life. Xie Kai was a little moved.

knew that this goods were for his own interests, but it could not be denied that he was still moved.

"That's good. I didn't really know about your tank modifications before, but now you can take me to see it and give a detailed introduction again. Ibrahim said with a smile.

The people he brought were basically from the logistics department of the Tikrit Division, and they were very familiar with the 359 tank.

Zheng Yucheng and others didn't expect that the other party would be persuaded by Xie Kai so easily, since the Iraqis proposed to re-understand, naturally there is no reason to refuse, right?

So, I went to the model shop again.

This time it was no longer a model of wood, but a full-fledged experimental tank.

“…… New modifications, optimized for battery life...... In order to prevent anti-tank missiles from attacking weak areas from the top, the top armor was thickened, and composite armor materials were used, which allowed the defense to reach 420 mm of average armor thickness...... In terms of engine, the rated power of the improved diesel engine can reach 780 horsepower, which can increase the power ...... more powerful," Li Ruixiang introduced again.

He wasn't dissatisfied.

The tank in front of you can be said to be the most powerful and advanced tank in China at present.

It's just that it's too expensive.

The 359 tank was originally a 12150ZL V-type 12-cylinder water-cooled exhaust gas turbocharged diesel engine used by the Type 80 main battle tank, with a rated power of 537k (730 horsepower), a rated speed of 2000r/min, and a fuel consumption rate of 238g/k·h (175g/horsepower·h).

Now that the top is thickened, the overall weight has increased by more than two tons, and the power is not strengthened, so naturally it will not work.

"Didn't you say you had to reserve a 1,000-horsepower engine replacement capacity? Why don't you just use a 1,000-horsepower engine?" asked an Iraqi lieutenant colonel, "and that way, it's going to be faster." ”

When Li Ruixiang heard the question why the engine was not changed to 1000 horsepower, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer.

Nima!

If there is 1000 horsepower, who would want to use 780 horsepower?

"Lieutenant colonel, we can indeed replace the 1000 horsepower engine, and even now the cost of the 780 horsepower engine has increased a lot after the reinstallation...... "Xie Kai also knows what's going on, the 780 horsepower tank engine is now the most stable and technically mature maximum power engine in China.

There are higher power ones, but due to technical and other reasons, the performance is not stable.

It cannot be used in large quantities.

Otherwise, people are driving tanks and bombarding each other, and as a result, the tank engine breaks down and lies down, how can they sell tanks in the future?

"Xie, how much does your tank cost? With an upgraded model, how much do you need to add?" Ibrahim didn't know that China didn't have a better engine.

Anyway, he was worried that Xie Kai was going to slaughter them right now.

The price increase is not much, which is acceptable.

Now President Silly Oki has expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with the growing foreign debt.

They fought with the Persians, and as a result, the neighbors around them frantically extracted oil and sold it, and distributed the money they brought from the war, while Iraq's large amount of oil could not be turned into money because of the war.

If you don't have any money, you won't have so much confidence.

"The price won't increase too much, after all, nothing has been moved in the structure, but the defense has been added to the top of the turret and the improved ......engine has been replaced," Xie Kai said.

"I needed a specific price. ”

Zheng Yucheng and the others looked at Xie Kai, they didn't know what Xie Kai's purpose was.

"Okay, okay!" Xie Kai was a little speechless, why was he in such a hurry?

At the very least, you have to see how well the target is shooting first, right?

"$250,000 per vehicle. Xie Kai pondered for a moment, this price could not be higher.

A 359 tank sold for $2.45 million, and even the real third-generation tank Type 99, which was developed in China more than ten years later, cost less than $2.5 million.

It's already very excessive.

"$2.45 million?" Ibrahim looked at Xie Kai with some disbelief, "Are you sure?"

"Of course. General, if it weren't for the rising costs, we wouldn't even be ready to raise prices......" Xie Kai's words made Zheng Yucheng and the others look disdainful.

Originally, this was the standard configuration of the previous 359 tank, and when the Iraqis took a fancy to it, this kid kept a hand in a black heart.

When more than 200 units were supplied, they took out the anti-tank missiles they made, and the result was ......

250,000 US dollars, although it is not much, the order of more than 200 vehicles, that is also tens of millions.

"What about the top armor that has been installed, can you see the test?"

In particular, the security of the armored units of the Tikrit division is at stake.

"No problem, we're at the weapons proving ground, you can see the effect. After Xie Kai asked, Zheng Yucheng and others agreed.

With the construction of 404 in the past two years, the original weapons test site has been changed because it is too close to the airport.

Xie Kai is also entering the new testing ground for the first time.

"General, look here, above is the complete 359 tank turret top structure. In order to have a more realistic understanding of the defense capability of the top armor, we used the top armor directly at the test site......" Li Ruixiang pointed to the armor model of the test.

This is not a model.

It's exactly what the 359 tank looks like from the top, from the top.

Even the anti-aircraft machine guns and the like above were installed on it.

"Very good!" Ibrahim nodded, and the Iraqis behind him were seriously examining the experimental models of the Chinese, afraid that they would cheat and trap them when the time came.

When the Iraqis finished inspecting, a group of servicemen wearing camouflage uniforms and camouflage on their faces entered the test site.

Two of them carried anti-tank missile launchers on their shoulders.

"Live ammunition?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

"They didn't come, and they were going to test it, and the model, which used improved composite armor. Zheng Yucheng introduced to Xie Kai in a low voice, "Our troops use it themselves." ”

"Is there an order on it?" Xie Kai asked in surprise.

For a long time, the above was dissatisfied with the 404, and the source of dissatisfaction was that the price of the 359 tank was too high.

The troops simply don't have much equipment.

"We have sold hundreds of vehicles, research and development costs, etc., have been earned, plus the production technology is mature, the cost is much lower, we discussed, added 20% of the profit to the cost price, and at the price of 2.8 million vehicles, we provided the army with the size of a regiment for combat experiments......" Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai, afraid that Xie Kai would object.

I didn't discuss it with Xie Kai before, just because this kid sold weapons and equipment, and he wanted money.

The domestic army is not a foreign customer, just slaughter it with a big knife.

"Isn't this a bit high? Xie Kai asked.

Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin both looked at Xie Kai in surprise, they didn't expect that Xie Kai not only did not object, but felt that the price of selling to the troops was a bit high.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Aren't we engaged in national defense science and technology just to improve our national defense capability? The advanced equipment we have developed is not even used by our own troops...... Xie Kai felt a little pain when he thought of this.

The main purpose of a country's weapons and equipment research and development is to use it for national defense.

But the most advanced tank in the country developed by them cannot be used by the country because of too little military spending.

"If you think so, we're relieved. Zheng Yucheng said happily.

Both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Alright, let's look at the experiment first. Wang Guilin reminded Xie Kai.

The Iraqis next to them were questioning the servicemen who were preparing to launch anti-tank missiles, and there were special personnel who were giving them introductions.

Even though Ibrahim knew that such missiles worked well, he did not see the launch with his own eyes.

The distance was selected in the area of two kilometers, all the preparations were made, and the Iraqis also learned in detail about the launching principle and operation method of the anti-tank missile; under the small red flag flying under the on-site command, a missile ejected from the launched canister that had been opened, and in the air several meters away from the launcher, the tail engine ignited, spewed out a blazing flame, and flew diagonally towards the sky, and then adjusted downward from the sky, and fell straight to the target.

"Boom~"

The violent explosion made the eardrums of everyone two kilometers away buzz.

"Go on!"

Before the second anti-tank missile was launched, the originally stationary target moved rapidly towards the front.

The Iraqis' eyes widened suddenly.

The anti-tank missile, still launched, like the previous missile, slammed into the target in a parabola.

After listening to the results of the target test, several Iraqis discussed in a low voice, and then a colonel walked up to Ibrahim and said a lot with a serious face, and even Ibrahim's face was full of weight to look at the 404 crowd.

"General, what's the problem?" Xie Kai asked Ibrahim.

"Thanks, my men think that your tank top improvements have been very successful...... But ......" Ibrahim looked at Xie Kai, and before turning around, he paused, "The power of this anti-tank missile does not seem to be as strong as we imagined, and even such a top cannot penetrate ......"
