More than half a month after returning from China, the first batch of 300 people and related supplies arrived.

Xu Ziling showed his face, then asked Gu Hongyuan and Lu Feng to arrange for them, and then left, because Smith had something to do with him.

It has been half a year since the formation of the mercenary team. In Smith's view, such a team should go to actual combat. Rigid training alone is not enough, so after obtaining Xu Ziling's consent, the mercenary station Give them some tasks and let them try their hands.

After such an arrangement, he became idle and wanted to rest for a while, but he didn't expect to get a very important news from someone else.

And once this matter is done, it will be a considerable income, so I came to report to Xu Ziling.

"What's the matter?" The office sat down, took a cigar from the desk drawer and threw it to Smith.

Smith smoked less cigarettes and liked cigars. He raised his hand and took a sip for himself, with a satisfied expression on his face, "The Guilph government is now preparing to purchase a batch of tanks, the number is about 5000, and the budget is [-] million yuan. It looks like [-] million US dollars, can we go to bid?"

"Gilf? The news is accurate?" Xu Ziling immediately became interested.

Jilf is a Mediterranean country in Eastern Europe. Its coastline is not long and its territory is not large. It is not as big as Xu Ziling and his Xinghai Province.But the country's economy is very developed, and it is also a member of the European Union, but it is neutral in terms of political stance, and it is just a name in the European Union.It is one of the famous rich countries in the world.

Although their country is neutral, they still have an army, with a full range of sea, land and air forces.This time I want to purchase [-] tanks, which is probably all the mechanized forces of their army.

I used to think about using technology to build good relations with other countries, but now I have the opportunity to come to my door.

5000 million U.S. dollars, 80 cars, one car is equivalent to a budget of [-] U.S. dollars. This is not a small amount of money. It can make money and build a good relationship with this country. Xu Ziling thinks it is necessary to give it a try.

"Absolutely no problem. The news came from the Minister of Defense. It will probably be announced in May. I'll see if we can come up with samples before May." Smith said immediately.

"Any special requests?"

"Best fit the terrain of their country."

"Lion, call up the topographic map of the country of Jilf." Hearing Smith's words, Xu Ziling turned to the computer and shouted.

As soon as the voice fell, the lion reacted, and a satellite image was immediately displayed on the computer screen. Xu Ziling glanced at it and saw that most of their country was hilly.

Immediately I have a certainty in my heart.

Doesn't hilly terrain require off-road capability?

"There are still more than two months. It is no problem to come up with a few samples. You do a good job in public relations and make sure that we will participate in the bidding. I will provide you with the required documents in a few days. I guarantee that the samples will be released before the bidding meeting. .”

Although 5000 million U.S. dollars is not too much, it is not too little. Converted into Chinese currency, it would be more than one billion. He had considered the tank project before, and he had already calculated the cost. The cost will not exceed 40 US dollars. If one can be sold for 80 US dollars, then the profit will be doubled. Compared with some products, it is not much, but it is not too small.

After discussing it, Smith left to prepare his affairs, while Xu Ziling immediately communicated with the lion and asked him to show him the tank plan last time.

Compared with the laser armored vehicle, the engine, suspension system, and control system in the tank plan are the same, but the body armor and turret have to be redone.

The armor is a new type of composite armor. Although Xu Ziling has not personally tested the depleted uranium armor of the American M1 main battle tank, he believes that his armor is definitely not inferior to that of the American. As for the gun, it is a 1mm smoothbore gun. .

However, this gun is different from any smoothbore gun in the world today. The shells it fires are all shell-type missiles, and there are no ordinary guns.

This shell can not only attack low-altitude armed helicopters within 8000 meters, but also carry out precise strikes on ground targets, and can completely function as a small multi-purpose missile.

As for electronic equipment such as distance measurement and thermal imaging, the new tank does not have any. It is only equipped with a new type of vehicle-mounted microwave radar. This radar is a reduced version of a large phased array radar. Its search distance is only [-] kilometers. However, because it is a brand-new microwave method, this signal can be reflected by all objects to form an image. To a certain extent, everything on the ground outside the line of sight can be clearly imaged without dead ends.

This radar does not only have the effect of scanning the target, but also serves as a fire control radar. That is to say, when the tank is firing, there is no need for a human to measure the distance, aim or something, just press the button when the target is found Lock the target button, and the turret can adjust itself and calculate the shooting elements. At this time, you only need to press lightly to launch.

With large tonnage, high-speed maneuvering, brand-new scanning system, and automated combat methods, Xu Ziling didn't believe that such a tank would be uncompetitive. After looking at it again for a while, he immediately called Wu Zhonghui from Northern Military Industry.

When Wu Zhonghui received a call from Xu Ziling, he was very polite, but he also complained because he was not notified when he returned to China last time.

"Mr. Wu, you also know that many of us can't help ourselves. I only stayed in the capital for a few days, and then I had something to do in the south. I really don't have time. I will definitely treat you to dinner next time I go back. How about making amends?" Xu Ziling said helplessly.

Of course, Wu Zhonghui didn't really complain about Xu Ziling, but said that he just paid attention to him all the time. Seeing Xu Ziling's attitude, he immediately stopped saying anything.

"I don't dare to make an apology, but next time you go back to China, you must inform me and let me treat you well. By the way, call me, should there be something wrong?"

"It's true, and it's a good thing. If it's done, maybe we'll have another way of making money." Xu Ziling told him about the tank with a smile.

Of course, the source of income he was referring to was just that they took the big money, and the northern military industry took some OEM fees.

However, the northern military industry also has an armored vehicle project. Now the domestic Type 99 main battle tank is produced by them. With the previous cooperation relationship, Xu Ziling transferred a few technologies to them at random, asking them to improve the 99, or authorize the domestic production rights to Nor are they impossible.

If this is the case, then they can also make a lot of money.

Therefore, after Wu Zhonghui heard what Xu Ziling had said, he immediately became interested.

"No problem, just a few samples, even by hand, I'll have someone make them within a month. However, if you succeed at that time, you have to consider us."

A win-win situation is the best competition, and if a family dominates alone, it will attract everyone's siege. There is a lot of domestic demand for a project like tanks, but the profits are not necessarily high. If you really want to give it to the North In terms of military industry, it is not a big deal.

Hearing what Wu Zhonghui said, Xu Ziling agreed generously.

Think about it, it's not a direct agreement to some conditions, there is nothing wrong with it, anyway, they have nothing to lose.

After passing on the relevant information and a complete set of technology, Wu Zhonghui, who got the promise, did not gossip with Xu Ziling, saying that he would immediately arrange for personnel to absorb it, and hung up the phone soon.

After finishing the northern military industry, he arranged the microwave radar, engine, suspension and other components.

These parts are all made in Xingcheng's own factory, so he can just tell his father directly.

Xu Haoran knew that Xu Ziling and the others had returned to China a while ago, and didn't have any opinion on them not going back, but just asked about the recent situation of Markkula.

In addition, I talked with Xu Ziling about an issue that he hadn't considered before: marriage.

"You are about to graduate now, you and Ruolan live together, you don't care, but Ruolan is a girl, and you, Uncle Yang, and the others are such a family, you have to give others a name. Otherwise People follow you without name or distinction, what do you mean?"

To be honest, Xu Ziling really didn't think about this question.

Before I knew it, four years passed in the blink of an eye, and the once little boy became a man.I remember that shortly after I arrived in Star City, I met Yang Ruolan. After a few months, the two got together and shared the same bed until now.

Under the sympathy between the two, he never thought about what his father said, and of course Yang Ruolan never mentioned it.

Thinking about it now, this is indeed a bit wrong.

Fortunately, the Yang family is open-minded. If they were a little more conservative, it would definitely be impossible for their daughter to follow him like this, right?

I was negligent.

Xu Ziling tapped himself on the head.

"Why don't you get an engagement first? Then choose a date together?" He really didn't understand these things, so he was a little cautious when talking about it in front of Xu Haoran.

"Why don't you just get married? You're all old anyway."

"I see that other people have such a ceremony as engagement. Let's have a full set. At most, we will get engaged in the first half of the year and get married in the second half of the year."

"That's fine too. You can discuss it with Ruolan, and I can discuss it with your mother. I'll call you tomorrow."

"Okay, you can arrange it, we don't understand these things."

Get engaged, get married.

Although Yang Ruolan was by his side, he had never thought of having a new love, but he had never thought about these things. When Xu Haoran suddenly mentioned them, he realized that he really needed to give Yang Ruolan such a title, and he felt inexplicably nervous.

After hanging up the phone and sitting quietly in the office for a long time, he decided to check Yang Ruolan first before speaking.
