Guan Fei and Sun Yaohua had a comprehensive discussion on the organization, number of troops, troops and equipment, and unknowingly, the time passed by one o'clock in the morning.

At this moment, a staff officer who was on standby in the factory office had a happy face and walked out of the building quickly, came to Guan Fei, bent down and whispered: "Commander, I just received a call from Menghai Station. The special train has passed Menghai Station. It is expected that it will be within half an hour!"

"Okay, I finally waited!" Before Guan Fei could speak, Sun Yaohua jumped up from the ground and shouted excitedly.

In order to avoid people's eyes, this special train is parked in remote branches specially prepared for trains at various stations during the day. It will only depart at night. When it is getting dark, it will stop and wait at the nearest train branch when it is almost dawn. In this way, it will slowly move to the base area. It took more than a week for thousands of kilometers of roads to stop and walk.

This is also impossible. After all, the country still maintains diplomatic relations with the military government. Even if it supports Guan Fei, it can only provide assistance at the economic level.

Previously, the country had not provided any military assistance except for transferring the weapons confiscated to the base area. If Guan Fei had not done his best to have a small-scale precision manufacturing enterprise from scratch, which could make some weapons and ammunition by itself, he would probably have been like other People's Army units, and even normal training would not be guaranteed.

If it weren't for the severe compression of domestic military expenditure and the troops had complained that the senior management had to relax the control of foreign arms sales, it would be impossible for this order to pass.

"Everyone has it! Stand up!" Sun Yaohua was impatient and immediately ordered.

Wow!

Hundreds of commanders and fighters who had been on standby in the square in front of the factory stood up at the same time, touched their heels, staring at Guan Fei with bright eyes, and the two leaders of Sun Yaohua were very excited.

They all knew what they were going to take today, and they were already very excited. They just saw the staff member rushing out excitedly, and the keen warriors felt that there was a chance. Sun Yaohua was so excited that everyone knew that the equipment they were waiting for was about to arrive, and they all stood up immediately, their eyes shining brightly, eager to try.

Guan Fei smiled and shook his head.

They are all 26-year-old young men who have already married and have children. Sun Yaohua is still as impulsive as a young man. He can't help it even though the train is still half an hour before he arrives.

Sun Yaohua's combat style is to be brave and tenacious, not afraid of death, and dare to fight to the death. At that time, he was not the strongest in the company, but Guan Fei had a keen eye for him, listed him as a key promotion target, and exercised carefully, and finally trained him into his own right and left hand.

Several years have passed, after half a year of training for middle and senior commanders in China, I have been trained many times and have become more skilled, but this impulsive personality has not improved, and it is still the same as before.

However, any army needs such a powerful general. At critical moments, such generals will not be afraid of their huge disadvantages on the battlefield, dare to fight tough battles, bad battles, and bad battles. If he is in charge, even if there is a military chief who is afraid of moving forward and protects himself, he will not dare to retreat. He can only move forward and fight bayonets with the enemy.

As for the traditional smart general, to be honest, he really has no shortage of such people under his command.

Chinese are known for their thoughts and like to look forward to the future when encountering things. On the contrary, they are rare animals like Sun Yaohua, who are simple-minded and firm-willed.

This can also be regarded as a military spirit.

Only generals like him can bring out a strong army that has the belief of "using me in the first battle, and using me will win", perseveringly and falling forward even if they die!

He is definitely not good at fighting, he just doesn't like tricks.

This is a character that even Guan Fei does not have. If he led it, he would probably lead the troops into a technical army that specializes in technology and tactics, and strives to track various advanced weapons and equipment in the world, but it lacks the momentum of being happy when you hear the war and moving forward.

That's why he entrusts all the training of the troops to Sun Yaohua, intending that he will supplement the troops with calcium and enhance the spirit of all commanders and fighters.

Looking at the group of commanders and fighters who were ready to beat their hands like little tigers in front of him, Guan Fei smiled.

Sun Yaohua was also very satisfied with everyone's mental state and shouted in his usual loud voice: "Everyone, get on the bus! Depart! Target, railway unloading platform!"

"Yes! Everyone obeyed the command, turned right, started running! Get on the bus! Goal, unloading platform!" The commander of the team repeated his order loudly and took the lead in running first.

Wow, bang!

Standing in front of his head, Yilian turned around beautifully, stood at attention, and then followed him neatly, running towards the heavy flatbed loading car dozens of meters away. When he arrived in front of the vehicle, the entire company automatically dispersed, and boarded the loading car in batches and started the vehicle.

The commander boarded the first heavy truck parked outside the line and set off with the car.

As the front car drove out, the vehicles behind followed one by one, five meters away from front to back, followed one after another.

"Second Company! Turn right! Run forward!" After nearly half of the vehicle in the first company drove out, the instructor replaced the commander and issued a command to let the second company follow, followed by the third company and the fourth company.

The quiet ammunition factory office area suddenly became lively, with the sound of running, the low roar of the engine, and the sound of commands one after another.

Guan Fei and the instructor of Oshio boarded the last heavy truck, followed the car in front, and drove out of the office area.

The unloading area is one kilometer away from the factory, facing the hills and facing the river. This is to avoid accidental explosions when loading and unloading raw materials and ammunition.

Dozens of heavy loaders arrived one after another, turning the front and rear towards the rails, leaving thirty meters of open space.

After they were in place, all the cars did not turn off, keeping the engine running at idle speed. The driver held the steering wheel with his hands, and the others sat straight in their respective positions, waiting patiently for the arrival of the special train.

The yard is brightly lit, illuminating the unloading area of ​​one kilometer long as daytime.

More than twenty minutes later, the sound of heavy objects colliding from the west was faintly heard, and the dust on the surface of the railway track was shaking up and down by the huge vibration. The sound became louder and louder, and the human ears could clearly hear the clanging sound of the wheels crushing the railway tracks. Looking into the distance, in the dark night, two light spots as big as bowls rumbled towards this place, like a huge centipede winding in the night.

"get off!"

The command came again. Except for the driver who was still on standby in the car, everyone jumped out of the car, ran forward on the tracks, and pulled a long line ten meters away.

Guan Fei stood in front of the team. Although the train was still invisible in the night, he could still see the whole picture with the faint reflection on the train.

I saw heavy-load flatbeds hanging behind the head of the huge steamer. When the train turned due to the line, you could see two protrusions tied in front and back on each flatbed, and the cargo was covered with green military canvas, making it impossible to see what was inside.

But from the long tube in front, you can still guess the true appearance of this batch of equipment, that is, the tank!

That’s right, this special train transports the Type 59 tank!

The number is sixty-four!

With his super vision, Guan Fei saw the tank loaded on the flatbed truck in advance, but suddenly remembered an interesting text in his mind: "Looking at the turret from a distance, and looking at five pairs of heavy-bearing wheels close by", and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

This is a magical sentence that has been circulated on the Internet for hundreds of years. Even in the interstellar era, netizens still like to use an original photo of the 59 tank, which is parallel to the photo of the interstellar warship, and then mark it separately: 59; 59 changes!

Then, I posted a joke from the owner or other netizens: I saw the turret from a distance and saw five pairs of heavy wheels close by.

Similarly, there are some jokes like "Look, Wujiu on the opposite side went down the mountain", "The American star destroyer brazenly invaded our star domain, and the commanders and soldiers of the entire army were filled with righteous indignation. At the command of the front-line space station, my heroic commanders and soldiers drove Wujiu immediately and shot down the invading star destroyer in the Vega Star Domain" can be said to be endless.

This online divine segment, which was still widely circulated in Guan Fei's era, spread the name of the Wujiu Tank until hundreds of years later. Even Guan Fei was well-known for the name of the Wujiu Tank.

The reason why Type 59 is so famous is that it is the first tank vehicle introduced by my country from the Soviet Union and built by itself. Starting from this tank, my country has gradually established its own tank manufacturing and R&D system. Over the past decades, the number of this tank has been manufactured as high as 10,000!

Based on the 59 tank, there are countless improved models. There are many models such as the main gun alone, including 100, 105, 12, 125, and many other models. There are also many versions based on the transformation of the power system. In addition, there are various major modifications, and even magical modification models with completely unrecognizable appearance.

When various newer models of tank vehicles were launched abroad, the domestic market was limited financial resources on the one hand and insufficient technical accumulation on the other hand. It also took great pains to modify it in various ways, using it as a platform to experiment with various new technologies and new equipment.

Because the appearance is completely different from the standard, it looks the same as the most advanced tanks in the West. Military fans could not immediately identify whether this was a new tank, so they counted the tank's load-bearing wheels, counting, one, two, three, four, five, five pairs, okay, it would be a 59 change!

All kinds of stunningness suddenly disappeared.

As a result, there is a joke about seeing the turret from a distance and seeing the five pairs of heavy wheels close by.

Because of the spreading effect of the network, this kind of joke that I can't be used in a wider range of ways, and the jokes are becoming more and more detached from their original intentions and become a kind of kind of sarcasm. Even though various advanced tanks were developed in China and even entered the interstellar era, this sentence was still circulated. Even the Star Destroyer could not escape this curse. Some people seriously drew five pairs of heavy wheels on both sides of the Star Destroyer to show that they were not talking nonsense, which caused the viewers to burst into laughter.

In fact, the Type 59 is a very good tank car during its launch period.

Its imitation prototype is the Soviet T54 tank that made the West terrified in the early Cold War. Its simple manufacturing technology, reasonable body weight, simple driving operations, and even a number of hundreds of kilometers. Its advantage of tens of thousands of vehicles has become a nightmare in the hearts of Western Europe. When I fell asleep, I was worried that the Soviet tank sea would suddenly surge like a tide and flood the entire Europe.

In terms of firepower and defense alone, the t54 and the domestic style 59 are good, but they are definitely not the strongest.

However, in terms of the balance between protection and firepower, it set a precedent for modern main battle tanks, and found a balance point in the contradiction between firepower and protection, which made the main battle tanks developed later abandon the concept of firepower first or strengthening armor in World War II, and took a balanced approach, becoming the originator of modern main battle tanks.

But glory will eventually pass.

No matter how much the transformation is made, the defects in the early stage of the design have led to the increasing room for further transformation of this tank. Faced with the new main battle tanks launched by countries around the world, they are becoming increasingly unable to do so on the battlefield.

Today's t54, or the 59th style, is no longer the scenery of the 1950s and 1960s.

Although it is not yet said to have been eliminated by the times, it has indeed become a tank that can be called "okay, useful", gradually giving the limelight to the younger generation and retreating to the second line.

The only reason why Guan Fei chose to purchase this tank from China is that he is cheap!

Too cheap!

Currently, the mainstream main battle tanks, European and American m60 and other vehicle-mounted equipment, the unit price is as high as 3 million to 5 million US dollars. This is still the price of self-use. The export price not only reduces the protection, firepower, and vehicle-mounted equipment, but also greatly increases the price.

Although the Soviet tanks were half cheaper than those of Europe and the United States, the unit price was also as high as 150 million and 600,000 to 200 million.

Besides, Guan Fei can't buy it.

However, the unit price of domestic homemade 59 tanks is only less than 500,000 yuan, and it is still priced in RMB!

Even for external sales, it is still 500,000, uh, USD! However, the base area is closely connected with the domestic economy, and the economy is integrated, and the relationship between the two sides is extraordinary.

On the other hand, the military has poor ambitions. Considering that this tank is no longer advanced, even small countries are not very considerate of it, and the number of exports has decreased year by year. In addition, the large number of domestic equipment of this tank has caused no money to buy new tanks. Since Guan Fei wants it, if you can sell one, you can get some funds to make up for the military expenditure gap. So you still sell it at your own price. The price of a single tank is still calculated at 500,000 yuan, and you didn't take the opportunity to quarrel.

But it is not expensive to buy, and it is not cheap to use!

Domestic engines are always a long-term problem. The overhaul of the Western tank engine is 800 hours, while the Soviet Union is a little short of 400 to 500. Domestic diesel engines are even worse than the Soviet Union. They need to undergo overhaul in just over 200 hours!

The tank troops are calculated based on two hours of actual driving training every day. An engine can only last for 100 days, which means it will take more than three months to replace it!

The engine accounts for one-third of the price of a tank. Just changing the engine is equivalent to buying a new tank in a year.

This has not counted track wear, transmission wear, and oil consumption.

Motorcycle hours are too low and the usage fee is too high. This is the main factor that even small countries with tight military spending should be considered repeatedly when purchasing Type 59 tanks.

Guan Fei had no choice.

The base area does not have the ability to manufacture large castings yet, so it cannot be made by itself, so of course it can only be purchased from outside. However, the base area is not even an internationally recognized regime. Even if you want to spend more money to buy, no one is willing to sell it. If you don’t need Wujiu, what else can you use?

Facing the tank and armored forces of the Wild Army, only if our side has tank and armored forces can we deal with it best.

Besides, although the Type 59 is a little behind the latest main battle tank, it is a disadvantage in fighting. However, facing the Defensive Army, which is equipped with the British army's tank armored vehicles as its main force, it is still a comprehensive crush. Even if the two sides approach and start hand-to-hand combat, the No. 59 will win and not lose!

Besides, although the complete vehicle cannot be built, with the existing manufacturing level of the base area, there is no lack of local improvement capabilities for small-scale wars.

As long as the tank is bought, it is not up to you to decide how to change it!

With Guan Fei's understanding of the precision manufacturing capabilities of the base area, he dared to pat his chest to ensure that the improved 59 tank is definitely stronger than the first version of the 59 modification in China.

Who can know the improvement potential of Style 59 better than him?
