Chapter 230: One for two(1/2)
"What? There is no military train waiting for us at the station?" In the early morning, the white fish belly had just appeared in the east. The deputy battalion commander who stayed here had already anxiously contacted the station. However, the news from the station
, which made him very disappointed.
Without a military column, they would still have to wait. Moreover, the battalion commander never came back after he went out last night, which also gave him an ominous premonition.
"Contact the battalion commander immediately." The deputy battalion commander issued the task.
Their anti-aircraft missile battalion is quite well-equipped. The battalion-level radar vehicle even has a specialized satellite communication system. Even if the radio contact range is exceeded, satellite calls can be made.
"Report, we can't get through the satellite phone, there has been no response from there."
No response?
The deputy battalion commander was a little annoyed. How could this happen?
“Keep in touch!”
As a result, the signal corpsmen began to make endless calls. It was not until noon that the superior made a routine call, and the deputy battalion commander finally received news that shocked him extremely.
"What? Our superiors didn't arrange for us to move the defense area? How is that possible?" The deputy battalion commander even began to question the words of his superiors.
Two hours later, several off-road vehicles came roaring over, and the superiors came to their camp in person. Everyone's face was ashen.
"Send out all vehicles immediately and search everywhere." The superior leader personally issued the order.
However, a heavy snowfall last night completely covered the tracks of the team that went out yesterday, and they were unable to find any trace of the convoy.
what to do?
These people clenched their fists and had uneasy thoughts in their hearts.
Could it be that these equipment have been sold by that daring battalion commander?
Where is the battalion commander? He ran away without a trace?
If they report it truthfully, they will also take responsibility, especially since they have not received any benefits!
Even if you don’t eat meat, do you still have to be a scapegoat?
If the battalion commander were here, they would probably beat him to death on the spot, but now, they still have to wipe this damn guy's ass!
"Our 1178th Air Defense Missile Battalion encountered bad weather during routine training, and all the equipment of the entire Air Defense Missile Battalion disappeared." The leader had to come to such a conclusion.
The equipment is lost, where are the people?
The pilots, after drinking too much, woke up and found themselves next to a small village. They quickly understood what was going on, but no one dared to go back. Their battalion commander ran away and lost their equipment.
Well, wouldn't these people have to be used as scapegoats when they go back?
So, they simply stayed there, herding sheep for the people in the village, to avoid the limelight first.
For Lao Maozi, this batch of equipment was directly assigned to the missing list. Even if they used reconnaissance satellites, they could not find these anti-aircraft missiles that had been covered with white camouflage nets and integrated with the snow.
When the cars arrive at a certain station very quickly, they will be loaded onto the train and go all the way east.
Two days later, the capital.
"Mr. Lin, come here, let me pay you respects. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Qin Tao raised his wine glass and said to Mr. Lin.
"Yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I heard about your recent deeds. It's really touching! Since ancient times, heroes have been born young. We people are all old, Lao Wu, don't you think so?" said Mr. Lin.
.
Wu Shengli nodded: "That's natural. The development of our military industry depends on the next generation."
"Two great leaders, please don't praise me." Qin Tao said: "I am also an ordinary person, I just have a little luck."
"How lucky? How many good things did you get back when you went out this time? These are not just luck." Mr. Lin said with emotion.
"By the way, Mr. Lin, what we got back this time is the Army's S-300V, which has the ability to intercept ballistic missiles. This thing should be urgently needed by our Air Force, right?"
"Yes." Mr. Lin nodded: "If we can intercept ballistic missiles, that would be great."
"So, how about exchanging one set for two sets?" Qin Tao said: "How about using our set of S-300V and exchanging two sets of your S-300PMU?"
Qin Tao proposed the exchange request, and Wu Shengli was drinking tea there calmly, but his ears were listening carefully, waiting for Mr. Lin's answer.
Mr. Lin immediately slapped the wine glass on the table: "What did you say? Mr. Qin, you actually used this trick on your own family? I'm not satisfied with what you said!"
"
"You actually want to replace one second-hand anti-aircraft missile system with our brand-new one, or two sets? It's too much, it's too much! Didn't you buy it for 10 million? At worst, our Air Force will raise funds and give it to you Mingzhou
Ten million U.S. dollars were transferred into the account of the Shipbuilding Industry Group!" Mr. Lin said: "We can't do business at a loss!"
"How can this be a loss? This is a total gain." Qin Tao is not afraid of Mr. Lin blowing his beard and staring at him. What scene has he not seen?
"Mr. Lin, think about it, what is the purpose of purchasing four battalions of S-300 equipment from Lao Maozi? Is it to protect the safety of the capital?" Qin Tao said: "Deploy on land, and deploy at sea.
What’s the difference between deployment? Give two sets of S-300 to the navy and install them on warships, which are also to protect the security of the capital. Regardless of whether they are from the navy or the air force, the combat missions are the same!"
"In this way, wouldn't the air defense force protecting the capital be stronger?" Qin Tao continued to lie: "The pressure on the air force can also be reduced, right? Mr. Lin, do you think so? Come on, let's have another drink!"
"Don't, don't, you kid, don't fool me." Mr. Lin said very solemnly: "If we really want to change, that's fine. One set for another. You use 10 million anti-aircraft missile systems for a set, how much will it cost for me?
I’ve already made a profit for one set worth tens of millions, but I want two sets, which is too much!”
"But, all we want is the equipment above!" Qin Tao said solemnly to Mr. Lin: "Mr. Lin, think about it, we are going to install it on the warship, including those radars and so on.
We have no use for warships and chassis vehicles and will still give them to the Air Force. Not to mention missile launch vehicles. We have already had relevant departments develop wheel launch systems. In other words, we don’t need launch vehicles at all.
All we need is the missiles inside. We are talking about two sets of missile battalion equipment, but in fact, when combined, it is not enough for a complete set!"
"Mr. Lin, you should also know that our country's economy is developing rapidly. Therefore, the few sets of S-300 systems purchased now are just the beginning. More will be purchased in the future. The Air Force can use less in future purchases.
Purchasing some launch vehicles and the like can greatly save costs, and in this way, the Air Force will definitely make money."
"Mr. Qin, do you think we have made a profit?"
"Of course I made a profit, a huge profit!"
"Hmph, it's true that there is no business without treachery, Mr. Qin, if I hadn't been clear-minded, I would have almost been deceived by you!"
"Mr. Lin, what you said is wrong!" Qin Tao also lost his temper: "I was struggling outside, going through life and death, and when I came back, I became a profiteer? If I hadn't been a profiteer, I would have given so much to the 611 Office
Is it a good thing? Moreover, this is just the beginning, there will be more good things in the future. Does the Air Force want Backfire bombers?"
Wu Shengli was a little nervous. Do you know who you are talking to? Why is your tone so harsh?
However, Qin Tao didn't care at all. He felt that he had been wronged and he had to vent it out.
"Humph, if you don't want to change it, don't change it. At worst, we can install the S-300V directly on the warship. We just need to modify the design drawing. No matter what good things we get back in the future, it will not belong to the Air Force!"
"Can you get the Backfire bomber back?" At this time, Mr. Lin didn't care at all about Qin Tao's rebuttal. He was just stunned by Qin Tao's words.
Backfire bomber!
Lao Maozi has done in-depth research in this aspect. After the end of World War II and the jet age, Lao Maozi quickly developed the Tu-16 and Tu-22 bombers, but because they were not equipped to carry bombs
With the supersonic penetration capability, Lao Maozi continued to develop the Tu-22M.
Although the number sounds like it is an upgraded version of the Tu-22, in fact the two are completely different. The latter is already a supersonic bomber with variable sweep wings. This appearance is similar to the advanced version of the large MiG-25.
Bombers are what the domestic air force covets.
If there is such a bomber, the air force's combat effectiveness will definitely be even more powerful. However, Lao Maozi will never sell such a big killer, and the country does not have extra funds to purchase it. If Qin Tao can do it in a simple way
How many planes are coming, then...
When he thought of this, Mr. Lin's heart was filled with heat.
"There's nothing I can't get back." Qin Tao said.
"Okay, we can do as you asked for the exchange of anti-aircraft missiles." Mr. Lin finally made a decision.
After all, when the original purchase was made, the Navy was involved, and the superiors had been coordinating, but the Air Force just held on to the good stuff and refused to let go. Now, with so many benefits exchanged, Mr. Lin can no longer be petty.
As long as he agrees and promotes it within the Air Force, the matter will be done. Wu Shengli raised his glass excitedly: "Come on, let's reach an agreement, cheers!"
"Lao Wu, you have a good son-in-law." Mr. Lin sighed again.
Wu Shengli smiled: "That's natural!"
After coming back after drinking, Wu Shengli was still quite happy. He looked at Qin Tao sitting next to him and couldn't help but said: "Taozi, the Navy will follow a special funding process for this money, and you will not suffer any loss."
.By the way, if you can get back the Backfire bombers, can you get a few for our navy?"
Qin Tao shook his head: "No."
"Why?"
"Because what was said at the wine table today is all deception. Backfire bombers are not that easy to get."
What?
Wu Shengli opened his eyes wide. Are you deceiving Mr. Lin about your feelings? You kid is indeed a profiteer.
Qin Tao sighed: "The era of this kind of bomber has passed. It is not that easy to penetrate defenses at low altitude at supersonic speed. On the contrary, stealth is more important. Even if we get the Backfire bomber, then
It is also impossible to maintain the size of the fleet. All kinds of maintenance and repairs are astronomical. After all, we do not have a system for this kind of aircraft. What we need to do is to introduce talents, develop our own aviation power, and build our own advanced aircraft.
of stealth bombers.”
"Stealth bomber, is this thing reliable?"
