Wang Baoguo and the expert group left.

Liu Tao also started to get busy.

"Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, this one will be the 80A self-propelled anti-aircraft gun." Liu Tao kept the original design for this one.

After all, this one is very suitable for fighting in the north, where there are many plains and not so many restrictions.

"Suitable for most parts of the country, especially the south, the weight is about 30 tons!" Liu Tao also gained a lot this time.

Before, he ignored the particularity of the south with many water networks, which is not suitable for such a heavy weight!

It is so heavy that it is troublesome to pass the bridge.

Then Liu Tao began to make improvements.

With the 80A self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, the subsequent improvement work will be much easier.

Unknowingly, two months have passed.

Liu Tao has developed several self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

In addition to the 80A self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, there are also 80B self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 80C self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 80D self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 80E self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 80F self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and 80G self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

80A, 80B, 80C, and 80D are self-use versions. Among them, 80B is a new design, which is smaller than 80A. The overall weight is only 30 tons, and the power system is 900 horsepower. 80C is the same as 80B, but it is equipped with two 70mm anti-aircraft guns; 80D self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is equipped with four 25mm anti-aircraft guns!

80E, 80F, and 80G are foreign trade versions, with a power system of 800 horsepower, a radar search range of 15 kilometers, and an attack range reduced to 4000 meters. The only difference is the caliber of the anti-aircraft gun. 80E is two 35mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, 80F is two 70mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, and 80G is four 25mm caliber anti-aircraft guns.

Seven different self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are placed there side by side.

Liu Tao felt a sense of accomplishment.

Liu Tao commissioned the military to transport three self-propelled anti-aircraft guns of the export version to Beijing. Now that it has been done, he has to start taking orders.

Otherwise, without orders, the 256 factory will also be a problem.

Since the 256 factory was incorporated into the Panshan Machinery Factory, it began to debug the production line. The original 59-type tanks and even the later 69-type tanks were no longer produced, and they were ready to produce self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

Now Liu Tao needs to strive for orders for self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

If you want to get orders, it is better to let customers see the real thing and experience it for themselves.

Few countries can afford the 80-type self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, even if it is an export version.

Because it is benchmarked against the "Cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, the export price is as high as 4.4 million US dollars per vehicle, and if it is a 75mm anti-aircraft gun, it is as high as 4.6 million US dollars per vehicle.

At such a high price, most countries cannot afford it.

Iraq and Saudi Arabia are the best customers he has chosen. These two oil-producing countries are rich and have foreign exchange reserves of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of US dollars.

As long as they can win their hearts, they are willing to pay.

Self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are only one of the goals, and the third-generation main battle tank is also a big goal!

In order to get the order, Liu Tao even deliberately made a third-generation main battle tank in advance.

It can be said that he spent a lot of money!

Liu Tao even wants to take this opportunity to sell guns and ammunition.

By now, the anger between Iran and Iraq has been very high, and even Renren Daily has reported it every now and then.

This powder keg can be ignited at any time.

Saddam is like a tough guy who has descended from the sky, dominating the international situation, and can actually get the support of the two hegemons, the United States and the Soviet Union.

It has to be said that this is a miracle.

In today's world, the boundaries between the two camps are very clear. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. All countries have to choose a side. If they don't choose a side, they will not have a good time.

Even China has been preparing for the S3 season for 20 years, and is also prepared for the fall of major cities.

Not to mention other countries.

There is only one Iraq in the world that can get support from two hegemons at the same time.

Liu Tao knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the Iran-Iraq War would break out soon!

As a result, Liu Tao had just arrived in Beijing the next day and had just gone to No. 25 Xiushui North Street to visit an old friend when he smelled the smoke of the Iran-Iraq War.

After the last 1,000 Type 59 tanks and 200 Type 59 tanks, Iraq wanted to purchase a large number of armored vehicles.

1,000 anti-aircraft machine guns, 2 million anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, 200 anti-aircraft guns, 20,000 anti-aircraft gun shells, 200 Type 69 tanks, 2,000 Type 59 tanks, with a total value of US$724 million.

In addition, 100,000 Type 78 automatic rifles, 2,000 machine guns, 2,000 heavy machine guns, 1,000 heavy sniper rifles, 101 million rifle bullets, 9 million heavy machine gun bullets, 100,000 sniper rifle bullets, 200,000 heavy machine gun special seed bullets, 10,000 sniper rifle special seed bullets, and various firearms parts were purchased, with a total value of US$250 million.

Liu Tao knew without thinking that such a large order was in preparation for war.

After all, Iraq had received many orders in the past year, and now it has taken the initiative to throw out large orders.

"Mr. Al, Mr. Rashid, my good friend, thank you for your trust and recognition of my friend." Liu Tao smiled.

Al smiled and said, "Liu, my friend, we have established a deep friendship and our cooperation is very pleasant."

Since we met, the cooperation between the two sides has been very pleasant.

Huaxia delivers on time, guarantees quality and quantity, and there are really no additional conditions.

Huaxia will deposit the kickbacks agreed by both parties into the Swiss bank account as soon as possible.

So far, no news has been heard, and Al and his family are very satisfied.

It can not only contribute to the country, but also benefit their own family and let their family live a good life. It is a win-win situation.

"Liu, there will definitely be no less orders in the future. Believe me, the orders in the future will only get bigger and bigger." Rashid grinned.

If nothing unexpected happens, he can get a higher rank in a while.

After making contributions and having money to operate, the rank will be promoted quickly.

"You two, you are all my good friends. I will give you a surprise in three days. Believe me, you will like the surprise I prepare for you." Liu Tao smiled.

"Oh? What surprise?" Rashid was very curious.

Liu Tao smiled but said nothing.

The other party has just placed such a large order, so you have to sign the contract agreement and get the deposit quickly.

Otherwise, when you see the Type 80 main battle tank, you will immediately feel that the Type 59 tank and Type 69 tank are not attractive.

Liu Tao hopes that all the Type 59 tanks in China can be sold out quickly, and then more Type 80 main battle tanks will be equipped.

It has to be said that the third-generation main battle tank is simply a crushing blow to the first-generation main battle tank, which is a pure dimensionality reduction attack.

The two sides are not in the same dimension at all.

Just the armor protection capability of the third-generation main battle tank, the Type 50 tank and the Type 69 tank cannot be broken, and the third-generation main battle tank only needs one shot to blow up the Type 59 tank and the Type 69 tank.

Even the foreign trade version is the same.

Even Liu Tao is a conscientious arms dealer, and the performance of the foreign trade version is still better than the T-72 main battle tank.

Anyone who has seen the third-generation main battle tank will feel that the second-generation main battle tank is not attractive, let alone the first-generation main battle tank!
