Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 339 T34
Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"You should read more books in the future. If you want to sell this military equipment, 30% of it depends on military affairs and 70% on politics. It has nothing to do with money at all."

"Besides, if you want to produce these things, they are not worth the money in bulk! The reason they are willing to lend money to sell them is actually to push these outdated garbage to us and clear out their inventory."

"Although the price of an AK74 is thirty rubles, it actually costs only two rubles to produce one. The quality of the Russians' products is too serious."

Xue Long said quickly:

"They're free, so they're pretty good! They feel pretty much the same as the ones in Great Britain!"

Zhang Kaiwu looked at those outdated things, smoking a cigarette without any excitement, and sent the coaches to train the mercenaries.

These outdated things are simply bullshit!
In comparison, he valued the cars, bulldozers and various factory equipment purchased with legitimate loans.

But think about it, the most advanced fighter jet in Eastern Europe is still the MiG-15, a subsonic aircraft, which has the prototype of the first generation of jet fighters, so they will definitely not be given away.

Even when it was used on the battlefields of the Southern Dynasties, it was kept secret for fear of leaks.

One MiG-15 fighter jet is enough to make the American aircraft lose their way, so we should not overestimate their combat effectiveness.

As a capitalist country, even though the United States is very rich now, due to its system architecture, its military-industrial system will not be upgraded or improved unless there is a need for war.

This is a huge disadvantage because everything has to compound the interests of the economic market.

In such a society, countless incredible things will happen.

For example: The principle of LCD screens has been out for a long time, and TV manufacturers will not upgrade unless their competitors do.

For example, advanced Western European countries like the United States and Great Britain do not have a unified high-voltage power grid. Each city has its own power generation system and power grid, and the voltages of various electrical appliances are different, so they cannot be used interchangeably.

It is completely impossible to unify electricity, and no one wants to suffer losses in their own interests.

The result is various power outages and various electrical accidents!

Ha ha ha ha ha!
Now these planes are all first-generation fighters. The biggest problem is not anything else, but that there is not even a radar on the plane, let alone navigation.

All rely on pilot experience, radio and ground crew guidance, such as:

"Wang Ergou! Turn around quickly, 35 degrees left. You are now 30 kilometers away from the airport."

Unfortunately, the plane got lost.

Even after the fighters start fighting, they have to find the opponent's position first, just like a cold weapon fight. You give me a volley, I dodge! I give you a volley, I dodge.

They kept climbing up and down, hitting the ground from high places, and fighting from behind by firing.

It was like a group of motorcyclists, fighting in circles across the square.

Common name: aerial dogfight.

………………

Zhang Kaiwu ignored the weapons and equipment. Instead, he carefully checked the lists of various factories, thinking about how the factories should arrange their branches.

The geographical location of the Republic of Borneo was taken into consideration to plan the location of the factory.

Wang Yongfu and Xue Long had seen enough, so they came up and asked:
"Senior Zhang! The Japanese have protested many times, demanding that we release their cargo ships and compensate for their losses."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Don't you think those ships were robbed by pirates? Stop talking nonsense! There is nothing else to do. Just block the entire Southeast Asian waters, seize all their fishing boats, and continue to demand compensation from them. As long as they don't pay, they will not be allowed to go to sea."

Xue Long asked quickly:

"The Navy of the United States is also nearby. Will this have a negative impact?"

Zhang Kaiwu asked:
"The United States is not its father, what does this have to do with them? You won't tear down the pirate flag and fly the official flags of Great Britain and the Republic of Borneo?"

"I will send a telegram to Governor Serra, asking him to cooperate with you in defeating the bandits."

Xue Long said quickly:

"I know! What if their self-defense forces resist?"

Now is the time when they are at their weakest. How can we not beat a drowning dog?
Will it bite people when it comes ashore?
Now that the loan materials have arrived, it is time to start the next step. Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:

"Fight! They only have a few patrol boats now. Get a few of Great Britain's battleships and sink any that dare to come out. Don't you want to train? Blow up all those small fishing boats, blow up those small patrol boats, and blow up all the ports that can be blown up."

"You don't have to go. We need to prepare for defense here, just in case."

Xue Long immediately replied:
"Okay! I'll arrange this right away."

Wang Yongfu asked quickly:
"Senior Zhang! How are we going to arrange this batch of weapons from Eastern Europe? Should we set up a tank unit and an air force unit?"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"You're overthinking those junks. Wait until the engineers have modified the equipment. I don't want to waste anyone's life."

"But you can arrange for some young people to learn driving skills, and we'll talk about it later!"

The Eastern Europeans really have no good intentions. After using these things, they need to replenish ammunition and require ground maintenance. In this way, they want to trap the Republic of Borneo step by step.

Wang Yongfu said quickly:
"That tank has 500 of them, which is enough to form a tank division."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Do you know how many T34 tanks there are in Eastern Europe? There are about to of this model, all of which were eliminated during World War II. Tanks of this performance have no advantages and are completely useless on the battlefield."

"They are all shoddy products. They will break down within a hundred kilometers. Despite the thick armor, the steering system is very fragile and leaks oil badly. And the driving system of the tank actually needs a clutch. It's ridiculous."

"Borneo is a place where it's not easy to transport them. They might have to be repaired eight times on the way to their destination. Tanks are not as useful as artillery. If you like, you can arrange a part of each island for practice, train some tank logistics soldiers, and learn to repair tanks."

"I'll have the remaining tanks converted into high-powered transport vehicles or tillage tractors at the factory, and use them to cultivate the land in the future."

After talking about so many shortcomings, and seeing that they were still very interested in tanks, Zhang Kaiwu said:
"Come with me to the research center. I guess you haven't been there yet."

"Go and listen carefully, take a good look at our new weapons, and go and take a look often in the future, and you will understand my thoughts."

By the time a few people went to the research center, the prototype of the tracking missile had been completed, and the tracking attack was simple. But the missile was too big, and the optoelectronic engineers were thinking of ways to reduce its size.

Because of the propellant, the range can only be improved and increased by continuing to reduce its size.

Zhang Kaiwu chatted with the engineers nearby. The key problem with today's anti-aircraft missiles is that many key components need to continue to shrink in size.

It is almost the second revolution in ammunition. Fortunately, these two types of missiles have been the main focus and are making rapid progress.

The weight problem during launch has not been solved yet, so it cannot be handheld. However, the speed is easy to increase, and it can easily reach Mach 1.5.

There is another problem. The missile cannot identify friend or foe. It will only chase the nearest target. The integrated circuit needs to be further improved, the programming problem is still under study, and an identification system needs to be established.

Anti-tank missiles have emerged and are being shrunk. Their working principles and structures are simpler and more brutal. Tanks cannot do death rolls, and they do not need too high a speed or too much propellant.

It is a combined upgraded version of the RPG-2 rocket launcher and the Kashachu, with a larger charge and a small nozzle improvement.

Because tanks do not have high speed capabilities, they do not require precision and speed considerations, do not require large turns, and do not need to consider friend-or-foe identification.

However, current batteries are not up to standard, and since radar locking and radar tracking are required, they can only be used by hanging on vehicles or carriers.

There is also the problem of current stability in integrated circuits. Because the circuits are close together, ordinary brass is not effective. The best way currently is to use gold to make the plates.

Gold is much softer and more stable than brass, so it is inevitable that gold will find its way into integrated circuits.

Zhang Kaiwu chatted with a few engineers for a while, and then took Wang Yongfu and the others to other departments.

Looking at those radars that are being improved, and those electronic components.

There are also some small gadgets made by engineers, such as palm-sized radios, various strange televisions, and computers that can be held in the hand.

Various aircraft and armored vehicles were dismantled into a pile of parts, as well as the completely naked helicopters designed by ship engineers, without even a skin.

On the helicopter, a windmill-like optical tracker kept beeping and changing direction along with the trajectory of the car in the workshop. Wang Yongfu and Xue Long were stunned as if they had entered a future world.

………………

Zhang Kaiwu took them into his office and after each of them smoked a cigarette, they finally reacted.

Xue Long asked:

"Senior Zhang! Is it true that once these things are completed, airplanes and tanks will be useless in the future!?"

Wang Yongfu said in surprise:

"With the emergence of this weapon, there may be no more aerial wars or tank battles in the future. I just heard the engineer say that it can be launched from a few kilometers away, but the planes were shot down before they even met!?"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Aircraft are still useful, of course, but at most they are just highly maneuverable vehicles. It is impossible for them to be as powerful as before."

"For example, when we are doing air defense, we can carry a small radar on the helicopter and use the missile together with the radar. The radar may be able to lock onto the aircraft and shoot it down as soon as it detects it."

"In the future, aircraft may only develop in terms of speed. Of course, after aircraft are equipped with missiles, they will be more powerful than before. And aircraft will have no problem attacking small armed forces that do not have missile weapons."

Wang Yongfu said expectantly:

"Senior Zhang! How long will it take to make these things and put them into practical use?"

Zhang Kaiwu said:
"It may take more than a year. The key is that the electronic components need to be smaller, and all these require successful reforms in the factory."

"These things are closely related to basic factories, such as steel mills, chemical plants, and electronic component factories. They all take time. That's why I told you that you only need to train the pilots. There's no need to focus on aircraft and tanks."

"Those vehicles are also being improved. My idea is that the missiles will be carried by helicopters and ships in the future, which will be more convenient."

Xue Long asked:

"Will ships and warships also be able to be locked with missiles in the future? It won't be as impressive as before."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Of course! Ships can also carry radars and various missiles. Computers will soon be available. Using them to assist in calculations is much faster than manual work. Even fixed artillery batteries are much more powerful."

"We need to train the artillery well. After the artillery has been simply trained, they can basically fire wherever they are pointed. If a ship enters another's artillery position, it will be courting death. There are also special anti-ship missiles. Ordinary ships can hit the target with one shot."

"You need to do a good job of literacy work, so that when secret weapons come out, you won't be able to use them."

Wang Yongfu said quickly:
“Literacy work is ongoing and there is learning time every day.”

Xue Long asked:

"Senior Zhang! With the development of these advanced weapons, will soldiers become less important in the future?"

Zhang Kaiwu said:
"Impossible! The most important thing is the soldiers. Weapons are just an auxiliary. Just because you have inferior weapons, do you dare not fight? Are you willing to be slaughtered?"

Wang Yongfu said firmly:

"Impossible! Even if our equipment is poor, we are not afraid of fighting!"

Xue Long also said quickly:
"Among us mercenaries, none of us are afraid of death since we are paid so well!"

Looking at the two passionate people, Zhang Kaiwu asked with a smile:

"Since you are not afraid of death, what about the marriage of mercenaries? Have the arrangements for their families been resolved?"

Xue Long said quickly:

"Except for the newcomers, all of them have completed the basic task of marrying two wives, and will gradually ask for more in the future. Some of those who are more conscious have already married three wives."

"Now that so many factories have been established, the families of mercenaries are given priority in selection. All of this has been implemented."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Make sure to arrange a good rest time so that the mercenaries have time to have children! Don't tell anyone about what's happening here. Everything is confidential."

Xue Long said quickly:

"Senior Zhang! Don't worry, we have plenty of time to arrange this. We'll be leaving first."

When the marriage issue came up again, Wang Yongfu said politely:

"Let's go arrange the work first!"

Ha ha ha ha ha!
Zhang Kaiwu doesn't like to engage in false propaganda work, mainly because he doesn't like moral kidnapping.

In love with reason!

As long as these mercenaries are married and their wives and children have settled down here, they are the real mercenaries of the Republic of Borneo.

When you get married, you will have children, the next generation, and a stable foundation. In order to protect your wife and children, your hands will not shake when you shoot.

There wouldn't be so much hypocrisy when it came to fighting for land. He understood very well the Chinese people's desire to fight for land to pass on their family line.

He cannot take the initiative to ask to rob, but Zhang Kaiwu will use other methods to cultivate their wolf nature.

The conditions for Great Britain to colonize India were actually very good, but why did it fail? The Aryan caste system was actually something created by their ancestors, and it actually restricted their own descendants.

In order to protect their capital and wealth, the nobles upheld the theory of bloodline, but at the same time they destroyed their own development.

The same thing!
Zhang Kaiwu was also unwilling to test the evil of human nature, so he put the insurance in the hands of Wang Yongfu and his group, and could only take the open and aboveboard approach.

………………

Wang Yongfu and Xue Long left the research center and returned to the base with sighs. As professional mercenaries, these new weapons had too much of an impact on them.

Thinking about what Senior Zhang said about making those weapons handheld and giving one to each person, and then looking at those majestic planes and tanks at the airport, it was like looking at tin cans.

I used to think they were fast, but now I realize that’s just bullshit, right? ?

Ugh!
After hard training, a tank squad of more than a dozen people would be doomed if someone raised a finger.

After a missile factory is able to mass produce it, the price will be only a few hundred yuan. It is really cheap and easy to use.

These iron cans are just as Senior Zhang said. We should arrange a part of them on each island and let them make use of their remaining energy to defeat the bandits.

It’s impossible that those monkeys also have missiles!
Wang Yongfu looked at Xue Long who was making preparations on the phone and asked with a smile:

"Along! Aren't you on vacation? How about I take care of the Japanese affairs for you?"

Xue Long said quickly:

"You want to eat fart! Senior Zhang just said it very clearly. If you want to violate the mercenary regulations, be careful, Senior Zhang will make you get out!"

"I'm just making arrangements for a while. I won't be going there myself. I don't want to be fired and go back."

The two people were chatting and laughing, but in fact they both felt that Zhang Kaiwu was a mysterious person.

Logically speaking, for such an important matter as the war between the mercenaries and Japan, one of them should be assigned to preside over it, but Zhang Kaiwu just downplayed it and didn't care.

I don't take it seriously at all!
...............

Zhang Kaiwu sent a telegram to Governor Serra, inviting him to go to Japan to defeat the bandits together. If they sank the ships and seized valuables, the company could recycle the scraps.

As expected, Governor Serra readily agreed. Zhang Kaiwu was his God of Wealth, and this was a money-making opportunity, so how could he refuse?

Zhang Kaiwu met with Xue Long again, made some arrangements, and asked him to prepare for the rotation.

We must demonstrate our power and the determination of the Republic of Borneo in the operation to eliminate bandits. It is urgent to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil.

As long as I don’t lose money one day, I will never stop practicing and treat it as a long-term task.
