Among the few soldiers who followed Fanfan, one of them wore a pine green epaulette on his shoulder, with two gold stars on the golden branches. ←, Xia Lei's heart moved, that was a general. He couldn't help but take another look at the general. The general was in his early fifties, with a Chinese character face, sharp eyes, and a tall figure, giving people an impression of being capable, confident, and majestic.
"The generals of the army are probably here for the ztz100 main battle tank. I haven't built it yet, so they are really impatient." Xia Lei thought in his heart, and then walked over with a smile on his face.
"Lao Xia." Fanfan called Lao Xia affectionately, "This is General Huanghe of the Northern Tank Corps."
"Hello, Chief Huang He, welcome to our factory for inspection." Xia Lei stretched out his hands to shake hands with Huang He, but he suddenly found that his hands were full of oil, then he smiled awkwardly and wanted to retract his hands.
Huang He held Xia Lei's hand, "Isn't it just a little bit of oil? I deal with tanks every day in the army, and I just like the smell of this kind of engine oil, hahaha!"
As expected, he came to see the tanks, but Xia Lei liked General Huanghe very much. He was an approachable general.
Fanfan then introduced Xia Lei to the military leaders who came with Huang He. Those military leaders also shook hands with Xia Lei and did not mind the oil on Xia Lei's hands.
"That's the ztz100 main battle tank of the Thunder Horse Group, right?" Without a few words of greeting, Huang He anxiously went to the ztz100 main battle tank on the assembly line.
Xia Lei said: "Chief Huang, you came a little early. It will take us another month to complete it."
Anina said it would take half a month, which was the time to complete the assembly. He said one month, and that included the testing time.
"I can't wait that long, I want to see it now." Huang He walked over anxiously.
Several soldiers gathered around the ztz100 main battle tank to look at it. Some talked with the staff of the Thunder Horse Group, and some looked at the drawings. The most anxious one was Huang He, who even climbed up to the turret to peek inside the tank.
Xia Lei and Fanfan stood aside and watched.
"What is General Huanghe doing here?" Xia Lei said, "Our tanks haven't even rolled off the production line yet."
Fanfan said: "They first went to China Industrial Group and saw the tanks of China Industrial Group, but they didn't like it. Then they applied to come to you to see your Ztz100 main battle tank. So, the above arranged for me Bring someone here."
"What does it mean to look down upon?" Xia Lei was a little curious. The Type 99 main battle tank of the China Industrial Group is still the most advanced main battle tank in China. Although it is far behind the Ztz100 main battle tank, in Asia, except for the Japanese Type 10 tank and the Russian T90 tanks and Type 99 are considered very advanced, so they shouldn’t be looked down upon, right? What's more, the Type 99 is still the current main battle tank and is equipped with a large number of troops. Even if the army wants to replace the main battle tank and replace the Type 99 with the ztz100 main battle tank, it will take at least several years to complete this task. .
"I know what you are thinking." Two dimples appeared at the corners of Fanfan's mouth, "The reason I learned is not that the army wants to replace tanks, but the Russian tank biathlon."
"Tank Biathlon?"
"Don't you know yet? It is a competition exclusively for tanks. European and American countries disdain to participate, but it has a great influence in Asia and the Third World. Looking at it from a strategic level, it is actually a display of force. , a platform to deter surrounding hostile countries." Fanfan said.
Xia Lei said, "It's really a big deal."
"Yes, it is much more meaningful than those weapons exhibitions you have participated in, because it is a direct confrontation between tanks." At this point, Fanfan sighed, "However, we have never won."
Xia Lei, "..."
Tanks are the king of land warfare. The strength of a country's tanks is largely related to the country's land warfare strength. If you can't even defeat the opponent's tanks, how can the opponent be afraid of you
"They probably want to come over and take a look, and want to take your ztz100 main battle tank to compete. They have never won, and even India is ranked ahead of us. This is really difficult for our soldiers. Something to accept." Fanfan said.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "My tank is only a semi-finished product, how can I use it to compete?"
At this time, Huang He jumped down from the turret. He waved to Xia Lei, "Comrade Xia Lei, come here, come here." He looked very excited, not only his voice was excited, but his body language was also exaggerated.
Xia Lei walked over and said with a smile: "Chief Huang, is there anything you need me to do?"
Huang He came over, gave Xia Lei a firm hug, and then said with a smile: "Awesome! Awesome! I like you so much!"
"Uh..." Xia Lei smiled awkwardly.
Fanfan said playfully: "Chief Huang, you must like this tank."
"Yes, I like this tank so much, but I also like Comrade Xia Lei." Huang He chuckled and said, "Our country is really lucky to have a talent like you."
Xia Lei said politely: "Chief Huang, you have given me the reward."
"Not at all." Huang He pointed at the ztz100 main battle tank next to him and said excitedly: "Although it is not finished yet, with my vision and intuition as a person who has been dealing with tanks all his life, it will become the world of tanks. king!"
Fanfan couldn't help but smile on his face, and the corner of his eye also fell on Xia Lei's face, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Faced with such praise, Xia Lei didn't feel anything special in his heart, because he knew that his ztz100 main battle tank was the tank that left the American m1a3 main battle tank behind.
"In the international ranking of the top ten tanks in the world, the American m1a1 ranks first, and it is not the most advanced m1a3 main battle tank. For our army, such a tank is simply a weapon of the future, even I can’t even think about it. What’s annoying is that the ranking actually ranked India’s Arjun tank ahead of us, and then Japan’s Type 10 tank.” Huang He sighed, “We don’t have Japan’s Type 10 tank. We have fought against each other, but in the Russian tank biathlon we fought against the Indian Arjun tanks, and we actually... actually... ugh!"
As a result, he couldn't tell.
"Some people think that our Type 99 tank is already the most advanced tank in the world, but that is wrong. For example, European and American tanks are now automatic and use gas turbine engines, which has long been discontinued. Burning diesel. Tanks equipped with gas turbine engines are not only faster, but also more flexible. Their wear resistance is three times that of diesel generators, and maintenance hours are also shortened several times. However, our Type 99 is still using backward A diesel engine, based on this alone, how can it be called the most advanced tank?" Huang He said.
Xia Lei smiled and said, "This is a fact. We have made progress, but we are still far behind Europe and the United States. However, the page of tanks will soon be turned over. The ztz100 main battle tank uses a gas turbine engine, 2500 The horsepower is one-third more powerful than the engine of the American m1a3 main battle tank. The ztz100 main battle tank is also automatic. Although it is 12 tons heavier than the m1a3 main battle tank, it is faster and more flexible."
"Yes, that's why I couldn't help but be excited. We all dreamed of having an automatic tank, and you made it a reality." Huang He patted Xia Lei on the shoulder, "Comrade Xia Lei, Do me a favor."
Xia Lei said: "Chief Huang, just say whatever you want, you're welcome."
"Half a month, give me this ztz100 main battle tank in half a month, and I will take it to Russia to participate in the tank biathlon." Huang He said, his eyes full of anticipation.
"This..." Xia Lei said with some embarrassment: "It will take half a month to complete the assembly. After that, comprehensive testing needs to be carried out. Half a month is simply not enough time."
Huang He said: "I know this makes you a little embarrassed. A brand-new tank enters the tank biathlon competition that is equivalent to actual combat without comprehensive testing. This is also very risky. However, this time the Japanese will participate. Theirs The latest improved Type 10 tanks will participate in the competition, and I dream of defeating Japanese tanks."
"Why did Japan participate?" Xia Lei was a little surprised.
"Because Japan and Russia have launched negotiations on the four northern islands, this is also a good gesture. You know, Russia is in a very difficult situation now. It needs Japanese investment. I don't care about these, what I care about is that it cannot Lost to Japan." Huang He said.
Xia Lei thought for a moment, "Okay, I promise you. Immediately after the assembly is completed, the ztz100 main battle tank will be sent to Russia, and I will test it on the road."
"You want to go too?" Fanfan touched Xia Lei with his arm, which seemed to be a hint.
She was worried about Xia Lei's safety.
Huang He's tiger eyes widened, "Comrade Fanfan, what do you mean? I know that Comrade Xia Lei is a national treasure of our country, and there will be certain risks when leaving the country, but you don't take our Northern Tank Corps seriously. Is he in trouble? I will send a thousand elites to protect him. If he loses a hair, you can hold me accountable."
"Uh..." Fanfan had a blush of embarrassment on his face.
Huang He said loudly, "Am I wrong? You, Comrade Fanfan, are Comrade Xia Lei's fiancée. I can understand your worries about him, but isn't my Huang He's guarantee strong enough?"
"Enough, enough, enough." Fanfan followed, "If he wants to go, I can't control him."
Huang He grinned, "That's right. Comrade Xia Lei, you have a good wife."
A smile appeared on Fanfan's lips, but he sighed in his heart, "That's right. I'm really a good wife in the office. Her surname is Liang. Who am I?"
Before, she had never thought about being Xia Lei's only woman, but as time went by, she fell in love with her, and with the little monkey in her belly, she could not help but have this imagination. This is inevitable, no woman is willing to truly share the man she loves with another woman. But, would a man like Xia Lei only have one woman? This is obviously unrealistic.
"Chief Huang, it's decided. In half a month, we will go to Russia. We will let them see the real king of tanks!" Xia Lei said.
Huang He held Xia Lei's hand again, "Promote the prestige of our country!"
