"M1910 122mm howitzer, Victor, if you are willing to accept it, I can provide this model of artillery." Tasha held it in for a long time and finally came up with an answer.
"M1910 122mm howitzer? Tasha, it can't be the artillery from the Tsarist era, right? It's more than a hundred years old. Even if there is a cannon, can you find matching shells?" Wang Yue raised his forehead, he was indeed I like old weapons. If it were an environment like a base where time stopped, the M1910 122mm cannon might be good, but in normal time and space, it would be different.
"Victor, you may not know much about the history of the Alliance. This type of artillery underwent widespread maintenance and life extension in the 1930s. Its condition is by no means comparable to that of the Tsarist era. In the armies of the Far East, this kind of The artillery was in service until the end of World War II and was mothballed. Moreover, the artillery shells were all produced during the Great Patriotic War. The quality is very good. I guarantee that they can be used. I even sold them to Yemen the year before last. It’s true!" Tasha made an oath. Look, answer seriously.
"Caliber 121.92 mm; total weight 1330 kg; barrel length 1560 mm; maximum range 7700 meters; muzzle velocity 335 m/s. This thing is only 1.3 tons?" Wang Yue searched for this kind of artillery online, and the first My eyes were attracted by the ultra-low weight. No wonder General Dai’s 200 Division equipment from the Sword of Time is so light that it can be used not only in North China, but also in the Jiangnan water network area.
"Yes, except for the shorter range, there are no major disadvantages." Tasha agreed with some guilt.
"How much does it cost?" Wang Yue rolled his eyes at the girl, and little Tasha started to pretend to be stupid again. She liked this girl's serious way of pretending to be stupid.
"Fifty thousand US dollars per door. This is the price including shipping. I guarantee that you will never find a cheaper price than this in this world? If you need it, I can fly it out immediately and the goods will arrive tomorrow!" As soon as Tasha heard that the business was coming, she immediately regained her composure.
"Please, Tasha, the last time you sold me the M-1938 122mm howitzer was at the same price, okay? You don't think of this old cannon as an antique, right?" Wang Yue glared at Tasha, this thing is harmful to him It was indeed valuable to me, but to Tasha, it was just a pile of scrap metal.
"Victor, you have to know that I have to give an account to the company and my family. Let's do it this way. If it costs more than 100 units, it will cost 40,000 dollars per unit. Don't worry, I can replenish it for you from the shells. This kind of inventory The old cannonballs will be given to you for fifty dollars each until they are sold out!" Tasha also knew that she sold them a bit expensively, but even if it was a pile of scrap metal, the value of the weapons would be different when they were sold, and she didn't think that Wang Yue can buy a hundred units. In the past ten years of the 21st century, such large orders have been national-level orders.
"Let's do this. I'll trade the oil refining equipment with you. Do you think that's okay? If you buy 500 sets of oil refining equipment this time, you don't have to pay me. Get me 200 artillery pieces and 300,000 rounds of artillery shells. Okay." Wang Yue thought for a while and did not continue to negotiate the price. After all, there are still many places where he needs to rely on the company and family behind Tasha in the future. It will definitely not work without giving them a little sweetness. For an order of 25 million US dollars, It is estimated that except for the freight, it is all profit. Anyway, Wang Yue does not believe that this thing has a cost in the accounts of the idiots.
"Two hundred, two hundred! Victor, you are crazy. This kind of artillery has no defense at all. A small bomb dropped by a drone can destroy it!" Tasha was also shocked by Wang Yue. The war fully proves that this kind of artillery with no mobility, no protection and short range has almost zero battlefield survivability under the current war situation. Selling it is a good thing, but it cannot be used to cheat the king. Yue, although this guy doesn't understand Fengqing, his status in her heart is always different.
"Don't worry, I won't let this batch of artillery appear on any battlefield. They are just used as strategic reserves. You understand that currently, many countries are undergoing large-scale power reorganization, and many people hope to make themselves look stronger. ." Wang Yue was talking nonsense, seriously talking nonsense.
"Really? Why didn't I know this happened?" Tasha was a little confused. As a professional arms dealer, why couldn't she encounter this kind of thing? It seems that she has to put some pressure on the small ones below. This business ability It really doesn’t work.
"Tasha, don't be so serious. Seriously, how many shells can be transported tomorrow?" Wang Yue changed the subject.
"The load capacity of the IL-76 transport aircraft is limited. It can only carry 10,000 rounds at most. Any more and I will lose money. The rest can be transported by sea and can be shipped to Libya in about a month. Victor, this is dangerous goods. Fifty dollars per round is just the shipping fee." Tasha regretted a little. She felt that she had suffered a loss this time. Fifty dollars per round, even though it was already included in the scrapped product, the price was too cheap. Yes, this is definitely not what arms dealers do.
"Tasha, how many of these artillery pieces do you have?" Wang Yue asked curiously. He didn't believe that Tasha would lose money. The previous batch of M-1938 122mm howitzers were being used by the Eighth Route Army, and the misfire rate of the shells was actually As high as 3%. It is estimated that the misfire rate of this M1910 122mm cannon shell can only be higher. It would be a shame to pay such a high price.
"Victor, you have to know that until 1941, the Alliance still had more than 5,000 M1910 122mm guns in service. After the war broke out, a large part of them were lost because the range was too close, so the military This type of artillery began to be transported to the east to replace the new artillery assigned to the Far East. By 1944, at least 4,000 artillery pieces were deployed in the Far East. After the war, the M-1938 122mm howitzer in the hands of the military was no longer needed. It was finished, so it couldn't even receive military aid, so it had to be sealed up. Oh, at that time, the military was preparing to fight the next war within ten years, so the sealing was pretty good.
Now, most of these artillery pieces are in the hands of our family, and it costs a lot of money every year just to hire people to take care of these things. "Tasha smiled bitterly. The sealed weapons in the Far East have almost become a joke. In the years after the disintegration, the big shots in the Far East sold all the advanced things. Instead, they kept these rags and said they wanted to protect the legacy of the alliance. , a group of evil bureaucrats!
"Four thousand guns, two hundred million? Tasha, I hope you keep all these artillery pieces. I will buy them from you one after another in the past few years." Wang Yue touched his chin. There was nothing worth hesitating about. It must be Take it, will two hundred million buy a modern artillery regiment this year? In comparison, four thousand artillery pieces are simply a bargain. If exchanged for small oil refining equipment, one cannon costs only 150,000 yuan, the price of an ordinary car, or one square meter of housing in a big city.
"Victor, tell me the truth, are you going to start a world war? Oh, my God, I knew it must be those crazy people who control the world are going to do something to cleanse the world again?" Tasha was at this moment. His mouth can probably fit a fist and four thousand artillery pieces. You can definitely count them with two hands in a country with four thousand artillery pieces in this world. For such a big deal, you are here with me in this shabby warehouse. Talk, are you sure you don’t need to go to the Kremlin to talk to Mr. President?
"Tasha, be normal. Don't worry. This world will exist for a long time. There won't be a world war. We will all grow old and die smoothly." Wang Yue smiled and touched Tasha's little head. The girl's imagination is really too great. enriched.
"Victor, you don't want to say it, and I won't ask you, but you must understand that such a large-scale arms deal can easily attract the attention of interested people. The Bald Eagle's power in Tripoli is much stronger than ours. I can only guarantee that the artillery will be delivered to the warehouse, and it can only be disassembled. Of course, if you want to assemble it, you will need to pay an additional ten thousand US dollars for each gun." As soon as Tasha thought of those pesky Bald Eagle agents, she began to replace them. Wang Yue became worried. Although this guy had quietly transported the artillery from the port area before, there were only 14 of them. If it were replaced by 200, there would probably be attack drones coming just after leaving the city. .
"Tasha, I promise, as long as you control your curiosity, no one will know about this." Wang Yue responded with a smile, beating a drum in his heart, always placing the material turnover location in Tripoli. It’s not a big deal, once or twice is fine, but if it’s more, it will definitely attract the attention of interested people. Where is the warehouse that can only be entered but not exited? Are you insulting other people’s IQ?
"You can do your best, and you have to go back to China with me next week. Mikoyan estimates that he will be able to take out the prototype next week, and you need to go and accept it. Are you really sure that as long as the original Lager-3 fighter ?" Tasha couldn't help but confirm again.
"Tasha, you can let them leave room for upgrades, or even make an upgrade plan, but what I want is a Lager-3 fighter. It can be slightly different, but it must not exceed the technical level of that era, otherwise I will I won't pay any fees." Wang Yue is really worried that those guys from Mikoyan will stuff a bunch of stuff into the plane. Not only will it be expensive, but they won't be able to take it with them to the time and space of 1940, so it will be a waste. Wouldn't it really be possible to produce drones to fight drones?
"Okay, you are a customer. Just be happy. Don't worry, we will only use technology before 1940. It is guaranteed to be an authentic World War II aircraft." Tasha responded very sincerely, but she didn't think so in her heart, even if it was 1940 The technology before 2000 was probably enough for those guys like Mikoyan. You have to know that many theories and technologies were actually available in the 1940s, but designers did not dare to adopt them at the time, or some technologies were expensive at the time.
Just like aviation aluminum, when manufacturing Lager-3 fighter jets, the aluminum technology gap between Alliance and Bald Eagle seemed to be a whole generation away, and Bald Eagle's laboratory has better ones, so you can just replace them yourself. , it is definitely not a violation, and then there is the armor steel. The Alliance's armor steel has never been as good as Hans's, but with the end of the war, Hans's most advanced armor steel was no secret to the Alliance at that time, and there was weight reduction. Technology, at that time, the Japanese were the most successful in reducing the weight of aircraft of various countries, but the alliance did not have that concept at all. To manufacture the Lager-3 fighter, the weight reduction must be optimized. After a series of combinations, the payload of several hundred kilograms can be achieved It came out, and there may be more, such as aircraft engine tuning, pipeline route adjustment, overall die-casting of the frame, integration of weapon systems, etc. After all, the Lager-3 fighter jet is a wartime product, and it is really too Too rough. Looking back, there are so many places that can be optimized.
"By the way, didn't you just say that you would let them design it? Why should the prototype be released next week? Isn't it a bit fast? Tasha, you little guy, didn't you just get a bunch of old airplanes and repair them to fool me? "Wang Yue laughed and said, it's not that he doesn't believe Tasha, it's just too fast. The design and manufacturing process of modern aircraft is not calculated in years, just like a certain aircraft from the third brother's family, it is so fast from pre-development to now. It's been half a century and it doesn't even have combat effectiveness. Of course, that's just a special case.
"Victor, you make me so sad. You have to know that this is Mikoyan. It uses more than a dozen supercomputers to design a World War II-level fighter jet. If you are still slower, you might as well shoot all the designers. I'm sad, no matter what, I have to go back and have a drink, you can stay here by yourself!" After saying that, Tasha left angrily.
