Chapter 231: One for Two

"What? There is no military column 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 had 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 dedicated satellite communication system. Even if the radio contact range is opened, you can still make satellite calls.

“Report, we can’t get through the satellite phone, there has been no response.”

 No response?

 The deputy battalion commander was a little annoyed. How could this happen?

 “Keep in touch!”

So, the signal corpsmen started making 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 his superiors' words.

Two hours later, several off-road vehicles roared over, and the superiors came to their camp in person, and 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 ruts of the troop that went out yesterday, and they were unable to find any trace of the convoy.

what to do?

These people’s fists were clenched and they had uneasy thoughts in their hearts.

  Could it be that these equipment have been sold by the daring battalion commander?

 Where is the battalion commander? Ran away without a trace?

If the report is made truthfully, then they and others 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 **** 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 was lost.” 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, and very quickly, these cars 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 are you? How many good things did you get back 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: "It would be great if we could intercept ballistic missiles."

“Then, how about exchanging one set for two sets?” Qin Tao said: “How about using our set of S-300V to exchange your two sets of S-300PMU?”

Qin Tao made a request for exchange. Wu Shengli drank 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 can 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, we purchased four battalions of S-300 equipment from Lao Maozi. Why? Isn't it to protect the safety of the capital?" Qin Tao said: "Deploying on land, and deploying at sea Deployment, what’s the difference? Give two sets of S-300 to the Navy and install them on warships. They are also to protect the security of the capital. No matter whether they are from the Navy or the Air Force, the combat mission is the same!"

"In this way, wouldn't the air defense force protecting the capital be stronger?" Qin Tao continued to fool around: "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 in exchange for how much I have." I’ve already made a profit for one set worth tens of millions, but I still want two sets, it’s 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 the 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 already have relevant departments developing 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’s 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 completely reduce the number of S-300 systems purchased 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, what do you think we’ve made?”

 “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 could have given so much to the 611 Office Is it a good thing? Moreover, this is just the beginning, and there will be more good things in the future. Does the Air Force want Backfire bombers?"

Wu Shengli is 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.

“Huh, if you don’t change it, don’t change it. The worst we can do is install the S-300V directly on the warship. We just need to modify the design drawings. No matter what good things we get back in the future, it won’t be part of 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 entry of the jet age, Lao Maozi quickly developed the Tu-16 and Tu-22 bombers, but they were not equipped to carry bombs. In order to improve 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 swept wings. This advanced bomber, which looks similar to the large MiG-25, is what the domestic air force desires.

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, the Navy was involved in the original procurement, and the superiors have 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 lying to Mr. Lin? You kid, you are 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. stealth bomber."

 “Stealth bomber, is this thing reliable?”

Wu Shengli was a little skeptical. After all, even if the F-117 showed its prowess in the war in the oil region, it was just an attack aircraft. It was about the same size as the F-16 and much different in size from the Backfire bomber. How difficult would it be to make such a large aircraft invisible?

Wu Shengli didn’t believe it.

"No matter how bold the people are, how rich the land is. Now that we have stealth attack aircraft, we also have bombers. Maybe the Americans are already building them." Qin Tao said: "In short, there is an intention to exchange air defense missile systems. It’s been accomplished. By the way, when will Xiaoling come back? Vitalia is still waiting!”

Vitalia followed him all the way back, and now they have been arranged to stay in a luxury hotel in the capital. If Qin Tao wants to escape, he has to ask Zhao Ling to accompany him.

"Well, she will come over after she has arranged the things at hand. I guess she is almost there now, right?"

As he was talking, Qin Tao’s big brother rang again.

 “Hello, Xiaoling? Are you in the hotel? Okay, I’ll come over too.”

After putting down the phone, Qin Tao and Wu Shengli said: "Xiao Ling went directly to the hotel, and I also went there to have a look. By the way, my Mercedes-Benz G, can you check it over for me? I want to drive it to the Forbidden City to have fun. ! By the way, please help contact the Army. I also got back a batch of Tor anti-aircraft missile systems this time."

 In the past, Qin Tao drove a Santana and was not afraid of traveling all over the world. Now, with the Mercedes-Benz Big G, of course I have to take beautiful girls to the Forbidden City to have fun.

"There is no problem with the Army. They are asking for it, and the car should be here. Are you going to the Forbidden City?"

“Yes, when foreign guests come, of course they have to visit our places of interest. If you can’t climb the Great Wall at this time, let’s go to the Forbidden City.”

Summer is the peak tourist season for the Forbidden City. I don’t know how many tourists come here. In winter, there are fewer tourists.

The Forbidden City, covered with white snow, has a unique scenery. The Mercedes-Benz G was parked in the parking lot outside the Forbidden City, and everyone walked into the Forbidden City together.

Vitalia and Zhao Ling held hands and walked in front, while Qin Tao and the bodyguard walked behind. Looking at the two excited girls in front, Qin Tao felt that he seemed a little redundant.

It seems that tonight, after staying in the hotel for one night and venting all the accumulated passion, it’s time to leave. Just let Zhao Ling accompany Vitalia.

“Today is really an eye-opener.” Vitalia said with emotion: “These buildings in the East are completely different from those in Europe. I feel like I have entered another world.”

At the end of the day's visit, Vitalia was very emotional. She sat in the back row of the Mercedes-Benz G and talked to Qin Tao, who was driving in front.

"Of course, it's winter now. If it's summer, you will feel even more spectacular when you see the Great Wall." Qin Tao said, "We can only visit this kind of thing now. You can stay here for a while and let Xiaoling take you." Walk around and see the Terracotta Warriors and stuff.”

"Qin, can you go to your place of work?" Vitalia was making a new request.

Qin Tao couldn't answer the call for a moment. At this moment, Zhao Ling suddenly pointed to something on the roadside and said, "Is that a Christmas tree?"

The Christmas tree, which was originally only supposed to appear in the Western world, has appeared in front of everyone, with countless small light bulbs hanging on it, shining brightly. Next to the Christmas tree, there is a man in Santa Claus costume, waving to passers-by.

 With the continuous spread of Western culture, there will be more and more scenes like this.

 Qin Tao remembered another thing.

The Christmas tree has been erected, indicating that Christmas is coming soon. Qin Tao has never been to any Western festivals, but he clearly knows that that day is coming soon.

 It is impossible for a person born as a white rabbit to become a wolf or a lion, no matter how intelligent or thinking the rabbit is... The wolf and the lion may not have much intelligence, but they can bite their opponents in an instant...

 Qin Tao suddenly thought of these words in his mind and felt extremely emotional.

 In the process of the demise and birth of a country, it will be accompanied by a large amount of wealth, and a new era belonging to some people is about to begin.

 That evening, while having dinner in the hotel, the news was played on the hotel’s TV.

 After a day of negotiations, the two giants finally reached an agreement. The old giant was willing to hand over all power of the country's armed forces, including the nuclear button, and the other giant guaranteed his superior life in the future.

In one more day, the old giant will officially address the world, and then the Red Empire will completely collapse.

I don’t know how many people saw this news and were filled with emotion.

Wu Shengli was at home and sighed to Zhao Xiu'e: "Taozi is so powerful. He predicted the collapse of the Red Empire in advance. His boldness is unmatched by others."

"Of course, how could our daughter choose the wrong person? This is a good time for our daughter to take a break. She is too tired."

 “Well, Tao Zi also means this.”

　　咚咚!

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.

“Report, we have just received new information. The floating dock of the Shenzhou has arrived safely at the Mingzhou Shipyard.”

“You’re back? It’s great. I have to take the time to check it out! No, make arrangements for me tomorrow!”

Wu Shengli was of course very anxious. After all, what he got back this time was good stuff!

So, while Qin Tao was still playing with the two girls in the capital, a large group of people had already rushed to the Mingzhou Shipyard.

That night, which was Christmas Eve, the floating dock of the Shenzhou had arrived at the port. The boxes above were hoisted to the shore overnight and loaded into the warehouse. Then, the two submarines were rushed to the beach overnight and plunged directly into the harbor. In the shed where the Steadfast was once demolished.

After a group of people arrived, they first flocked to the greenhouse, and then began to comment on this kind of submarine.

 “This design is really beautiful!”

The first thing that shocked everyone was the appearance. The command tower of this submarine is perfectly integrated with the hull. It looks so beautiful and represents Lao Maozi's most outstanding design capabilities.

“Yes, the degree of automation is also very high.”

“The sonar equipment above can also be left to us to study, especially the towed sonar behind it. We can compare it with the French equipment and learn from each other’s strengths.”

While everyone was talking about the two submarines, spitting stars and splashing, there were also people who were impatient and got inside after the submarines were secured.

By the time Qin Tao heard the news and rushed back, it was already night. Seeing everyone still studying, Qin Tao was speechless.

“Have you brought a Geiger counter? Have you checked the radiation level?”

Although the reactor has been dismantled, nuclear submarines that have served will have residual nuclear radiation in many locations. These people in front of them are really not afraid of anything.

“No, the remnants of the power cabin are also within the safe range.”

 When it comes to radiation, there are always people who are afraid of it, and then they are taken advantage of by businesses, especially pregnant women. If you don’t buy a high-end radiation protection suit, you will not be sorry for the suffering you have suffered.

 In fact, radiation is everywhere. When the sun shines down, it is optical radiation, and when you stay warm next to a heater, it is thermal radiation. There are even many cosmic rays that pass through the atmosphere and reach the earth.

Whether radiation is dangerous depends on its intensity. Mobile phones and the like are all within a safe range.

 As for nuclear submarines, there is no problem under normal circumstances. If the radiation exceeds the standard, the health of the sailors cannot be guaranteed.

The nuclear submarine that has dismantled the reactor is most afraid of nuclear leakage caused by irregularities in the dismantling process. Now it seems that Lao Maozi is still reliable. After all, if there is a leak during the dismantling process, they themselves will be injured.

"Everyone can dismantle whatever they want. This time, our Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group will do a favor and won't charge extra fees. We will sell the dismantled items to everyone at the scrap price. The Navy only needs to build The appropriation for warships should be paid in time." Qin Tao was rarely generous.

"Mr. Qin, you have made a fortune this time!" After hearing what Qin Tao said, someone immediately spoke.

“Yes, the shell of this nuclear submarine is made of titanium alloy!”

 Speaking of these, everyone’s eyes lit up.

 Titanium alloy! The most expensive metal material! This thing, with its excellent characteristics, can be used in the aerospace industry!

“Mr. Qin, what are you going to do after you remove these titanium alloys?”

“Yes, is it sold to our relevant domestic departments?”

“No, we will leave it to our own relevant departments to research, and we will directly manufacture titanium alloy products.” Qin Tao said.

 He can be a second-tier dealer and make money, but these are not the most or the best way to make money. That is of course to provide one-stop services by himself.

 With the introduction of the Su-27, localization will soon come, which requires a large number of titanium alloy components, as well as aircraft engines. If the country wants to develop anti-ship missiles like Sunzhi, it will also have to use titanium alloy. Even if it is not for military use, but only for civilian use, there is still a large market, especially for medical equipment, where there are huge profits!

 Mingzhou Steel Plant can definitely expand its scale.

“You make it yourself, do you have the technology?”

“There isn’t one now, but there will be one soon. By the way, do you know any experts? Can you introduce them to me?”

Of course, Qin Tao is playing with Lao Maozi's idea, but this requires time. Domestic experts can be invited directly.
