Chapter 1604: Armored Vehicle
After staying in Ulyanovsk, Russia for more than a year, the old fan of "Eastern Airlines Maintenance" finally returned to China. Not only did he spare thousands of 'An-2's for the company, but he also used the 'Zhizun Pill' to completely hook up Maomei Shanieva, and the two were officially married.
In the eyes of others, Lao Fan's trip to the country can be regarded as a second spring. His new Russian wife was unbelievably beautiful and very virtuous.
As for someone jokingly reminding Ms. Mao that the "shelf life" is expired, Lao Fan replied directly: If you have money, you can maintain it well, but if you don't have money, you will become tofu.
Yes, Lao Fan is rich.
Before going abroad, Lao Fan was an ordinary mechanic with only a little bit of aviation maintenance skills. After returning to China, the couple was directly rewarded 5 million by the "Wasteland Trade" for their outstanding work-the electric modified "An-2" was very good. Excellent for short hauls in the wasteland.
Lao Fan didn't know that the electric 'An-2' he and his wife got together had become a battlefield taxi of the Aurora Legion. Especially after the occupation of Mexico, the Legion urgently needed a transport aircraft that could quickly mobilize troops and supplies, specially for low-intensity operations.
The production of 'An-2' is very large, and many of them have been retired. Zhou Qingfeng brought back more than 3,000 planes from Russia for refitting, but he could barely cope with the vast expanse of wasteland Mexico.
And this time when Lao Fan came back from Russia, it wasn't that the 'An-2' modification task was completed, but that he was promoted to be the person in charge of a new modification project.
In addition to light transport aircraft, the Aurora Legion also needs a large number of ground light armored vehicles. The complex security operations do not need to deal with strong enemies. The trouble is that in order to restore the order of the wasteland Mexico, you have to face a large number of bandits running around.
In addition to the Aurora Legion, the Chinese forces in Wasteland Africa also face a large number of low-intensity combat needs. The enemies are not strong, but there are a lot of them, and they like to run around.
The French, known as the "African Gendarmerie", are equipped with many lightly armored vehicles, which are designed to deal with various rebellions and conflicts in Africa one after another. When the Aurora Legion also faced the same problem, they found that the Rabbit family did not have the corresponding equipment for Zhou Qingfeng.
New design manufacturing is certainly possible, but not cheap. So Zhou Qingfeng simply continued to seek Mao Xiong's inheritance from Xiong Da, and picked up the junk and took it abroad - Mao Xiong worked desperately to produce countless armored vehicles, and now most of these equipment are retired.
Back then, thinking about fighting the Third World War, Rabbit mobilized the whole country to produce equipment, but in the end there were only grenades and bazookas and other low-end things. The real industrial countries don't bother to play with these things at all. Back then, Mao Xiong only produced more than one thing for the war.
We feel that it is very hard to make a "five-nine" tank to produce 10,000 pieces. Maoxiong's T-54/55 series easily tossed tens of thousands of vehicles, and this is just one model. Later T-62, T-64, and T-72 were also huge.
By the way, how many people know that in addition to the main battle tank, Maoxiong also produced IS-4, -7, T-10 and other heavy tanks after the war? That is also casually a few thousand. Back then, the rabbit was afraid of the bear's armored torrent coming from the north, and the feeling of sleeplessness was not a joke.
The tank is too heavy to be convenient to use. It is enough for Zhou Qingfeng to have his own 'Five Nine', he lacks armored vehicles. And Mao Xiong, BMP series tracked armored vehicles, BTR series wheeled armored vehicles. A huge amount was produced back then, and these equipments are now thrown away in that corner to collect ashes.
As a private company, Wasteland Trade purchased a large number of decommissioned armored vehicles from Master Xiong in the name of importing scrap steel, with a total quantity of more than 5,000. Lao Fan returned to China this time to refit this batch of armored vehicles that were not in good condition, and he was accompanied by a Russian of unknown origin.
When the first batch of 300 BTR60 wheeled armored vehicles passed through the border crossing in the northeast and entered the territory of Rabbit, Lao Fan felt quite emotional at the armored vehicles covered with tarpaulins on the railway trailer, "Russia is actually quite powerful, and you can use it casually." Can come up with so much equipment.
"
The identities of the fellow Russians were quite mysterious, and they were taciturn and seldom spoke along the way. When he delivered this batch of equipment, he heard Lao Fan's emotion, and couldn't help saying: "If the Soviets could put the resources used in the military industry in the civilian field, we would not have collapsed."
These words were too miserable, and Lao Fan couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Russia, "Aren't you doing well recently? The economy and military strength have begun to recover."
"Haha..." The Russians in the company laughed dryly, "If you brag about paying taxes, the Russian government will definitely go bankrupt. Those bureaucrats know how to make some PPTs to fool people, but in fact they only have this ability."
This..., there is no way to continue this.
Lao Fan was so blocked that he couldn't speak, but the Russian continued: "You flower growers have become rich, and we have become poor. You have been laughing at us recently, saying... .
Xiong Da: I want to study stealth fighters.
Rabbit: You have no money.
Xiong Da: I want to study the stealth bomber.
Rabbit: You have no money.
Xiong Da: I want to build a blizzard-class aircraft carrier.
Rabbit: You have no money.
Xiong Da: I want to develop a new destroyer.
Rabbit: You have no money.
Xiong Da: Can I not mention the money? This is so overwhelming.
Rabbit: Your electronics industry is rotten. Half of your shipbuilding industry is in Ukraine. Your technical experts have been poached by China, the United States and Europe, and the rest have not been funded for a long time. You haven't built a large warship in thirty years, your market for selling weapons is getting smaller and smaller, you...
Xiong Da: Stop, let's talk about money again. "
The Russians in the same company were laughing non-stop after telling the joke. Lao Fan heard the misery and desolation in his laughter, and the despair and unwillingness that could not be concealed in his self-deprecation.
"Don't worry, you will get through the current difficulties. Back then we were more miserable than you, and we got through it just the same." Lao Fan could only use these words to comfort him.
But the Russian twisted his neck and asked back with hatred: "You have to ask your elders first, will they give us this chance? I think they are very happy to see us continue Rotten."
this…….
The Russians left after delivering the armored vehicles. During the whole process, Lao Fan didn't even know his identity and name. The dialogue between the two was pitifully rare, but Lao Fan was extremely impressed with this man.
Three hundred BTR armored vehicles continued to be transported by rail to a vehicle machinery factory in the northeast. Lao Fan, as a representative of the "wasteland trade", supervised the modification of these vehicles. The state of this batch of cars is very average, most of them need to change tires, and a few even need to change engines and repair suspensions.
The old fire control system should be completely dismantled and replaced with a batch of export-oriented simple fire control devices from Rabbit. This kind of modification is very cheap, it is said that it is less than one-fifth of the price of a new car.
Since these cars are really dilapidated, it doesn't look like a particularly secret mission. During the modification process, many people came to ask Lao Fan how to get these armored vehicles? And who is it sold to?
Bought as scrap iron, converted and sold to small countries in Africa.
Every time Lao Fan uttered this formulaic answer jokingly, he always thought of the Russian man who laughed wildly when he delivered the goods. There is too much sadness behind an inconspicuous arms deal.
"Hey, we have to keep working hard! We must not become what Xiongda is like now. There are really too few countries in this world that can truly control their own destiny."
