"What do you think of this one?" Alexander. Sahamara, pointing to a car next to him, said triumphantly.

Lin Hongfei was instantly attracted by the car next to him, this is a big guy with the characteristics of a typical post-70s former Soviet Union heavy military multi-axle wheeled missile launcher, with two former Soviet missile launcher iconic, located on both sides of the front of the car, one left and one right, two cabs, the engine compartment is located behind the cab, army green paint, of course, the most important thing is the exaggerated size of this car: even if you don't know the size data of this car, with the accurate and demanding gaze of an automobile designer, Lin Hongfei can also visually detect, It is a behemoth with a length of nearly 12 meters and a width of 3 meters and a height of 3 meters.

In front of the car was a photograph embedded in a sign resembling a hotel door, with a note that on November 7, 1965, the 543 was unveiled for the first time at a military parade on Red Square in Moscow carrying the Scud-enabled ballistic missile.

"It's 543, right?" Lin Hongfei looked at this very familiar heavy military wheeled off-road transport vehicle and asked.

"Yes, this is our Minsk 543 series, the eternal red classic of our Minsk Automobile Heavy Industry Complex: the 8X8 heavy military wheeled high-mobility monolithic off-road transporter codenamed 'Hurricane'."

Alexander. Sahamara's gaze at this big guy was like looking at his first love, Lin Hongfei definitely didn't expect that this guy who had thought of selling his factory money before would look at such a car with such a look.

Lin Hongfei is also the first time to get close to this heavy military wheeled off-road transport vehicle in the world occupies a pivotal position in the car, it originated from the first heavy military wheeled off-road transport vehicle precedent and extremely successful Minsk 535/537 series, but unlike the Minsk 535/537 series, the 543 series created a classic of heavy integral military off-road transporters, forming a variety of huge special vehicle series, is one of the most widely used integral heavy military off-road transport vehicles in the Soviet Army. If you count other derivatives, it is undoubtedly the jewel in the crown of the Soviet army's heavy military wheeled off-road transporter.

What's more, the far-reaching influence of the Minsk 543 series continues to this day: its shape, structure, suspension, chassis, etc., have become the cornerstone of a series of similar models later, such as another key defense enterprise in the former Soviet Union in the same city as the Minsk Automobile Heavy Industry Complex: the exaggerated size of the Minsk Tractor Heavy Industry Complex 7900 series, and even the various heavy monolithic military off-road transporters produced in the former Soviet Union, all inherited the mantle of the 543 series.

Lin Hongfei also learned that the heaviest monolithic military off-road transport vehicles that we can manufacture in China today are actually all 543 reverse mapping imitations, such as the DF-11 and DF-25 tactical ballistic missile transport launch vehicles WA2400 that deter the Taiwan Strait. The WA2400 is the Minsk 543 copied by Wanshan Special Vehicle, but unfortunately, our manufacturing capacity has also stopped at the 543, which is also our heaviest monolithic military off-road transport vehicle for our army.

"At the beginning of the design. At that time, the Soviet Red Army put forward the basic design requirements for Minsk 543, which now seems extremely demanding: it can adapt to all types of roads and regions in the Soviet Union, and can be driven at any time of the year, as well as in extreme environments of minus 40 degrees Celsius and minus 50 degrees Celsius. That is, the concept of 'all-weather, all-terrain' that is now widely proposed and recognized by the Americans—...... Mr. Lim. You must know that this requirement was equivalent to an overweight baby weighing 15 pounds for the fragile Soviet automobile industry at that time, and it was necessary to complete a revolution in midwifery technology, which was a huge challenge for the entire Soviet automobile industry. In the end, the delivery of the birth was given to our talented designer, Comrade Boris. ”

Alexander. Sahamara's voice was deep and soulful. It's really hard to believe that this kind of affection can appear in the body of a guy who is desperate to sell his beloved car factory, these are two completely different emotions, but so contradictory to the same person.

The next second, Alexander. Sahamara's emotions were stirring. "Mr. Lin, do you know the truth? This weighs 40 tons and has a deadweight of 20 tons...... Actually, there is more than that, and there is room to maintain cross-country ability...... When fully loaded, it can also tow a 25-ton heavy trailer behemoth, which can wade to a depth of 1.3 meters without any preparation, and it also has a good appetite for our Soviet army: 85 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, and a maximum fuel range of 1500 kilometers - this excellent endurance, if you apply a similar classification of bombers, then 1500 kilometers of travel in the classification of heavy vehicles, can be called a 'strategic bomber', it is the pride of our Minsk Automobile Heavy Industry Complex. ”

As an internationally renowned internal combustion engine designer and automobile designer, he also knows that the main components of the Dao 543 include the innovatively designed heavy-duty integral off-road chassis, the engine that was moved directly from the main battle tank, the "three defenses" overpressure fully enclosed cockpit that can work in the nuclear explosion area, the power transmission system, the air brake system, and electrical equipment. The undercarriage is equipped with 8 independently suspended, independently driven wheels and is equipped with a central tire pressure adjustment system that can easily adjust the tire pressure while driving.

And in fact, the main work of this cargo is also used to carry tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and carry out battlefield-level long-range in-depth strike missions: according to the consistent preference of the Red Army of the former Soviet Union, that is, to use this 543 catapult to throw a total of about half a ton of TNT explosives to the enemy's deep targets between 100 and 300 kilometers: "Scud: tactical ballistic missile - he is a veritable Land Cruiser, compared with this cargo, Toyota's Land Cruiser should really be ashamed to commit suicide by jumping into a well."

But just when Lin Hongfei was extremely emotional in his heart, a very inopportune voice sounded, "Mr. Lin, as far as I know, your country has also copied the engine of our 543 off-road vehicle. ”

Who is this, so annoying? Lin Hongfei, who was immersed in the memory of this heavy military wheeled off-road transport vehicle that had made great contributions in the GC world, immediately looked unceremoniously in the direction where the voice came.

It was Alexander who greeted Lin Hongfei. Grigorievich. One of Lukashenko's cronies: academician of the Belarusian Academy of Sciences and member of the Presidium of the Belarusian Academy of Sciences, met the gaze of Lin Hongfei, Anatoly. Nikolaevich. Rubinov unceremoniously handed Lin Hongfei a look with a thick provocation.

Looking at this provocative look, Lin Hongfei smiled, very disdainful, "I know the truth, but so what?" The former Soviet Union has been swept into the dustbin of history, but my country is thriving. ”

The 543 heavy military wheeled off-road transporter uses a 4-stroke V-opposed 12-cylinder high-speed liquid-cooled diesel engine with a model of D-12A-525A, with a power of 525 horsepower, a displacement of nearly 40 liters, and a fuel consumption of 85 liters per 100 kilometers, which is the same as the engine used by the 537 - as we said just now, this engine is not the 543's own child, but an illegitimate child adopted from the tank: he was the engine used by the T-54/55 series main battle tanks, which were the main force of the Red Army's armored torrent at that time. That is, the Soviet imitation prototype of our Type 59 main battle tank. As a child who grew up in the army compound, as long as he has a heart, these materials are easy to remember, but knowing the way is to know the way, this is definitely not a reason for Lin Hongfei to avoid this guy's provocation.

Sure enough, in fact, it is indeed the case, facing Lin Hongfei's words, Anatoly. Nikolaevich. One of Rubinov's faces suddenly turned red, and just as he wanted to say something, he was attacked by Alexander. Grigorievich. Lukashenko interrupted, "Lin, you're right, the Soviet Union has collapsed, and it makes no sense for us to discuss what has happened, just like you're doing, we should look forward and focus on developing the economy...... Now, can you tell me what you think? ”

Lin Hongfei smiled and said, "It's too early to talk about this issue, we are just visiting the honor showroom of the Minsk Automobile Heavy Industry Complex, and then we will talk about it after seeing the production line and the current situation of various parts production enterprises, well, there is also the situation of the Minsk Tractor Heavy Industry Complex." ”

Alexander. Grigorievich. Lukashenko as well as the anxious Alexander . Sakhamara has nothing to say, because what Lin Hongfei said is very reasonable, I can't not hesitate to cooperate with you just because your Minsk Automobile Heavy Industry Complex has a glorious past, I must determine whether you have the capital to cooperate with me.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, these associations that had been overwhelmed by the Western world became the object of division by the Western powers.

————————————————————————

For a whole week, Lin Hongfei greedily lingered in the two enterprises of Minsk Tractor Heavy Industry Complex and Minsk Automobile Heavy Industry Complex, remembering the history at the same time, he was even more shocked by the Belarusian people's protection of these two enterprises: although the technical and design personnel of these two enterprises inevitably lost, there are still more than 85% of the production workers and more than 80% of the R & D personnel, there is no money to eat, people are panicked is certain, but these people are still willing to continue to persevere, which in itself is an extremely incredible thing.
