The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

2165 Tank
When Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin were standing in the open space, the sound of engines came from behind them, very loud.

The two turned their heads to see a huge tank.stopped behind them.

The battle appearance of tanks appearing in front of them is amazing.The steel plates on the outside are row upon row, revealing the solid armor, which makes people feel unimaginable thickness.The thick tracks, like two giant claws, firmly grasp the ground.The main gun of the tank looks like the huge head of a monster, and the black barrel is shining with metallic luster.

Viewed from the side, the body and bottom of the tank are in the shape of a rectangle, and the large body is equipped with many mechanical accessories, making it extremely powerful.The whole tank gleamed with precision and powerful strength, it was like a behemoth made of steel, capable of splitting the world and slaughtering everything on any battlefield.

Such a huge tank gives them enough deterrence.This shocked them.Then keep going back.But the tanks soon stopped.

Wei Zheng only stood on one side, he was very satisfied with the reaction of the two of them, this is the reaction they should have.

And who is not confused when seeing such a big tank?
Li Shimin suddenly asked: "What is this?"

Li Shimin was very puzzled by the existence of tanks.Because this thing looks like a car, but it doesn't look like a car.What kind of existence is that?

When Li Shimin was puzzled, Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty! This thing is called a tank. It is used for combat. It has absolute defense. Look at this barrel. It can make the enemy frightened. And this body is very hard, ordinary Bows, arrows and shells cannot be shot through, with its existence, it is equivalent to entering the land of no one, and making the enemy frightened!"

Li Shimin was really shocked by such an existence.At this time, Cheng Yaojin said: "I see it has no wheels, and it doesn't feel like it runs very fast."

"No mistake, its speed is indeed not as good as a car. But even if there is no road, it can still work."

Listen to what Wei Zheng said.The two were even more shocked.

Li Shimin asked: "Wei Zheng, what is the difference between this cannon barrel and our Shenwu cannon?"

"There is not much difference between this barrel and the Shenwu Cannon. But this thing can be moved, and its cannon is more powerful than the Shenwu Cannon."

Wei Zheng said so.Li Shimin was very satisfied, but then Wei Zheng said: "But its price is relatively high, the price of each shell is much higher than the price of Shenwu Cannon's shells. I still want to tell you about this. After all Such a modern shell. Its manufacturing skills are very complicated. The cost required is very high."

"I know this!"

On this point, Li Shimin still agrees.

In any case, the cost is there, but in the near future, Li Shimin may buy again.

About the production line of tanks.This is a good thing.This Tang's military is very good.

But what to say?

Li Shimin and the others can only produce.The production of some shells and the like still depends on the Shengtang Group for research.

Because technology is the most powerful support of the Shengtang Group, it can be said that the Shengtang Group leads the development of the military.

You can buy the production line, but you cannot buy the development of technology.And the development of these technologies requires a lot of money to invest.Not what you want.Therefore, if the research is not continued, the future military can only stay at this stage.

Then it depends on whether Li Yin is willing or not.Upgrade these military weapons.

In fact, the current military weapons are completely sufficient, so the probability of Li Yin upgrading them is very low. Instead of upgrading these weapons, he might as well study how to immigrate all human beings to other planets.That's better than a weapon.

Scientific and technological research is also what Li Yin has been doing.

"Tell me what's special about this tank!" Li Shimin asked again.

"The length of this tank is three feet, the width is one foot, the height is one foot, and the weight is seventy tons. The maximum speed can reach 240 miles per hour, and the firepower is equipped with rifled guns.

There is an observer on it, which can automatically switch between aiming and searching, and there is an independent rangefinder on the car that can lock the second target in advance.It can be said to be very powerful! "

Hearing what Wei Zheng said, you can feel that this tank is really powerful.

Cheng Yaojin was stunned.

Fighting now is completely different from before.

They used to hold knives and guns, but now they use cannons and tanks.

Such a war is really shocking.

So, how much are such weapons worth?
Li Shimin wanted to know very much.

"Then Wei Zheng, can you tell me, how much does he charge for such a tank?" So Li Shimin asked.

Wei Zheng didn't even think about it, and said directly: "This thing has never been sold before, but Mr. once set a price for him, one million taels for a tank!"

One million taels is not very high.At that time, Li Shimin spent a lot of money to get the price of the helicopter.Now the price of tanks is not as good as one-tenth of the previous helicopters.

So in Li Shimin's view, this is not expensive, but at the same time, an idea flashed through his mind: war really costs money.And it costs a lot of money.

"All right? This kind of tank. How many are there in Shengtang Group now?"

"There are only ten cars in production now."

"Ten? I want all of them."

"That's fine! The price of the tank is 100 million taels, and the price of the shells will be added to it. One shell is 1."

These shells are quite expensive.But if you buy a tank and don't buy shells, then the role of the tank is tantamount to being useless, so no matter how expensive the shells are.Li Shimin will buy it.

"Okay, 1 shells."

So Li Shimin directly asked for 1 pieces.

In the blink of an eye, money was spent in units of hundreds of millions.

But a mere [-] million is nothing.

Now the value of silver may be less than one-tenth of what it used to be, because of inflation and the depreciation of silver.

And Li Shimin thought, fighting a war now may consume more.Therefore, if you can avoid war, you will not fight.

But everyone bullied him on top of his head.There is no reason not to fight.

Therefore, the Turks must be defeated no matter what.Let them know.The consequences of invading Datang are unimaginable.

This is Li Shimin's idea. In fact, no matter what price he pays, he wants to let the Turkic people know how powerful he is.Let them know that people in Datang are not easy to bully.

"Then do you still have the weapon?"

Finally Li Shimin asked again.

"No more, this is the last one!"

Wei Zheng said immediately.

"When will it be delivered?"

"When the price comes down to funding it's ready to deliver."

"May I take it first?"

Li Shimin said a little anxiously.

"That's impossible! Before the funds arrive, one cannot be taken away."

"Are you worried that I have no money?" Li Shimin asked a little unhappy.

Wei Zheng immediately said: "No, no, no, Sheng Tang Group has no money! Now Sheng Tang Group urgently needs a capital injection. It is good to research newer things. Every year, Sheng Tang Group's research on technology accounts for more than [-]% of its income. The synchronization of these scientific researches has brought huge benefits. Because of these investments, it has also brought a huge burden to Shengtang Group. So now it can only be filled with money. It happens that these things can be sold for money, so please return Your Majesty understands. It's not because we think you have no money, but because we need money."

Wei Zheng said a lot, but every sentence is true.

Sheng Tang Group really has no money.

Li Shimin is also a sensible person.

So he was embarrassed to say anything more, because what he said was right.

And there is buying and selling.It is only right and proper for the buyer to give money, so why withhold a little money and not give it.

If you can give it, it will be of great benefit to the Shengtang Group. If you don't give it, it will only put the Shengtang Group in danger. Obviously, this is not in the interest of the Shengtang Group.

If the Shengtang Group fails, then Li Shimin's court will naturally fail. This is mutual.

Therefore, Li Shimin has no reason not to give money.

"Okay! Do you want to talk to that kid? What are the prices of these things next? Then let's talk about when to pay?" Li Shimin said.He is also in a hurry now, there is no need to bargain at this time.

Now he just wants to get weapons and shells as soon as possible. It is best to own everything for himself, and the Shengtang Group does not want to store anything. Although it is a bit unrealistic to say this, he wants to do it. The most important thing is to buy out all the weapons of Shengtang Group.As long as Sheng Tang Group has no weapons, there is no threat to itself.

"Okay! I'll call sir now. Please wait for me a moment."

Then Wei Zheng called Li Yin.

He walked to the edge to contact Li Min because he was afraid of being overheard by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin got into the tank and stared at everything in the tank in a daze.

They also didn't want to ask what Wei Zheng and Li Yin said.

Because these involve some confidentiality.

They just want to see what's good in the tank, so they sit in it, but it's not easy to sit in it.

It was also a little cramped, and they felt very uncomfortable when they sat in it.

But the outside is really cool.

After sitting inside, after a while, he kept calling Wei Zheng.

Let him come over and make an introduction.

Regarding this point, Wei Zheng didn't pay attention to it, but told Li Yin everything Li Shimin wanted.

After hearing this, Li Yin felt quite satisfied.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was so straightforward for the first time.

That's a good thing, that's what business is for.

He said: "In this way, we can at least withdraw one billion taels of funds! These weapons and equipment have been placed for too long!"

Except for some weapons that were transported to Dongzhou, those weapons were relatively high-end, while the weapons in Datang were relatively backward, which happened to be digested by Li Shimin.

In the past, he couldn't find a suitable reason for Li Shimin to digest, but now he can, that's a good thing.

Li Shimin took the initiative to ask for these weapons, just in time to recover some funds.

"It does, at least a billion."

Wei Zheng said so.

"About the price. You can raise it to a higher place. Then talk to a higher place. I have no objection." Li Yin said again, this is his attitude.

As for how much money can be carried, that is Wei Zheng's business.

When the time comes, Wei Zheng will definitely raise the price. He is much more ruthless than Li Min.

"Is that so? Then I know!"

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"No, I will talk to His Majesty about this matter now."

"Success! Then I'm going to be busy."

"Yes, sir"

Finally Wei Zheng hung up the phone.

I went to find Li Shimin.

But he didn't let Li Shimin come out in a hurry.

Instead, he waited outside for Li Shimin's appearance.

About half an hour later, Li Shimin and He Jin came out from inside.

During that time, he also drove around in a tank.

This thing is indeed the king of destruction, it is destroyed wherever it goes.

Li Shimin is very satisfied with this thing. If he can sit on this thing and command the battle, that would be quite a good thing.

"Wei Zheng, this thing is really good, by the way, how is your question?"

Wei Zheng said to Li Shimin: "If you want everything, 20 billion taels will be packaged. We will give you everything in the Shengtang Group. Not a single thing will be kept! The production line will also be transferred."

Wei Zheng was very ruthless, Li Min said one billion, and he directly asked for two billion, anyway, the money was Li Shimin's.

"Can it be cheaper?"

Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty! This is not cheap. National security is no small matter. I don't need to say this, you know it. If you have such a production line, you can manufacture large quantities of shells! Weapons can also be produced in large quantities. Who is better in the world? "

What Wei Zheng said directly touched Li Shimin's heart.

Yes, you can make weapons by yourself, you don’t have to have as many as you want.

But he overlooked one point, that is, all these weapons cost money.

It's not like you can get it without spending a penny.

Cost still has to be considered.

Either way, it's a burden.

Therefore, Li Shimin said: "20 billion is 20 billion! Let's make a decision like this. Later, I will ask Dai Zhou to come and count with you."

"That's it! When will the money come, and when will the things be shipped to the barracks? Now I can have the things ready!"

Wei Zheng is still very principled in his work.

In doing so, he can indeed speed up the transaction.

"Okay, Zhijie, let's go back!" Li Shimin said immediately.

So the two went to Taiji Palace.

Wei Zheng picked up the phone and called Li Yin.

When Li Yin heard 20 billion, he laughed.

This Wei Zheng is really thinking about Sheng Tang Group.

That's really nice.

Li Shimin probably didn't expect that Wei Zheng would cheat him this time.

Whoever Wei Zheng is loyal to is bound to be treated with the most loyal heart.

This is one of the reasons why Li Yin wanted him.

From now on, Li Min felt more confident about handing over Shengtang Group to Wei Zheng.I believe that with his presence, Shengtang Group will only get better and better.
