This is the first time that Vana has stepped onto the international stage, and has shown its strength in front of Westerners for the first time.
Vana has always been developing in Africa. No matter how large it develops, it is silent. Americans do not pay attention to Africa. Even the mercenaries of the American Blackwater Company reported that they encountered the powerful Vana organization in Africa. A sniper attack would not attract the interest of big shots.
No matter how powerful it is, it is just a mercenary group. This kind of group sells its life for money and has no loyalty at all. Compared with the powerful war machine of the United States, it is too weak.
However, when they discovered that the Vana Group still had tanks, and there were often hundreds of them, they were no longer calm. Are they still mercenaries? This is more regular than the regular army.
“Where did they get their tanks?”
"Smuggling." Swift did not see the origin of the tanks from the intelligence, but he could guess that the Vana mercenary organization and Lao Maozi were inextricably linked, and these tanks must have been purchased from Lao Maozi. Yes, after all, at its peak, Lao Maozi owned more than 50,000 tanks. Even if the old models are eliminated, there are also many advanced tanks, such as the T-72. The production of this tank is said to be 25,000. about.
What now?
The total number of all the tanks of Mao Mao is at most 20,000, maybe even 10,000. The rest of the tanks are missing. Those **** arms dealers and those derelict officials who were at the time of the collapse of the Red Empire colluded with each other. I messed up a lot of tanks in Da Mao.
Not to mention two hundred vehicles, two thousand vehicles can be released.
Since it is a Russian-made tank and the backbone of Vana is still an old man, there is nothing to doubt. They must have dumped it.
“Damn, they have so many tanks, what do they want to do? Are they planning to threaten us?”
“The threat is not that great. They don’t have the strength. Besides, the war in the 1990s has brought the reputation of the T-72 tank to a low point. Therefore, their tanks cannot threaten us, and they can only protect themselves.”
"Yes, it's self-protection." Swift sneered: "Who still wants to use our force to threaten big dogs? They are not afraid of our threats at all, they are already prepared! If Our tanks really drove in the wrong direction, and when they drove to the land of a big dog, these tanks would organize the first line of defense to intercept our tank troops."
“Then they are cannon fodder. These mercenaries are really not afraid of death.”
"This is what the mercenaries earn, and they are very smart. With such a posture, can we still get lost? Don't think that the T-72 tanks in the war more than ten years ago were weak. We underestimated the strength of these tanks. They may have the appearance of Russian-made tanks, but they may have been replaced by Oriental Hearts on the inside.”
“What Eastern Heart?”
“The performance of Dongfang’s 125mm tank guns is quite strong. If they use special armor-piercing projectiles, they are fully capable of penetrating the armor of our M1 tanks,” Swift said.
Everyone's expressions turned gloomy.
The land of Goudahu, the border area.
“Your Wana Group’s actions were so fast, we were shocked.” In the hot desert, Salman got out of his high-end Mercedes-Benz car and said with emotion as he looked at the camp being built.
The day before yesterday, they had just reached an agreement and paid the first month's payment. The next day, the Vana Group's transport ship docked. After the tanks landed, they kept racing all the way. Today, they arrived at the designated destination. area.
This speed is staggering.
Vitalia smiled. It goes without saying that since the agreement has been signed, it is necessary to make money quickly. After all, the expenses start when the main force of their Vana Group sets foot on the land of the big dog.
Of course, she couldn't say that.
"After Mr. Qin contacted me, I was fully prepared. After all, war often waits for no one. The sooner we get here, the sooner you can feel at ease." Vitalia said: " We at Wana Group have always put our customers’ requirements first.”
"Well, it's really an honor for us to have a good friend like Mr. Qin. Now, the task of guarding our national borders will be left to you." Salman said, looking at a person walking in the distance: " By the way, let me introduce you, this is the commander of our border area guard force, Your Excellency Rashid."
Rashid, dressed in military uniform, stood next to Salman. He glanced at the mercenaries who were busy setting up the camp, then at the tanks, and then said: "On behalf of the border guards, thank you for coming, but , I want to say that these tanks of yours may not be able to compete with the M1 tanks."
At this time, a tank was rumbling over. The V-shaped anti-wave plate had been covered up by the steamed bun-like explosive reactive armor. The entire tank looked slightly more modern, but when I think of the 1990s, In that battle, Rashid still had no hope.
Lagging behind, these tanks are really too backward.
“How do you know our tanks can’t compete with M1 tanks?”
“In the war in the 1990s, the T-72 tank was in front of the M1 tank and had no power to fight back.”
"That's because the T-72 tanks at that time were the monkey version." Vitalia said: "And the tanks we have on hand are all versions used by the Soviet army at that time. They are not at the same level as the ones from your neighboring countries. , and we have also installed brand-new artillery shells, which can completely tear through the front armor of the M1 tank. If you don’t believe it, you can bring an M1 tank over and see if our tank gun can penetrate it from the front. ."
“Really?” Salman became interested: “Okay, then bring one over!”
The big dog owners are so wealthy that they don't feel bad even if they use the main equipment of the army as a target!
They are all full of expectations at this time. Can this tank gun penetrate their own tank armor? You know, the myth of the M1 tank was forged from the war more than ten years ago. It is said that even the M1 tank's own tank gun cannot penetrate the armor of its companions, which shows how powerful this tank is.
Soon, an M1 tank was driven over and parked at the training ground of the camp, attracting countless people to watch.
“We give you three chances to fire. From a thousand meters away, as long as one of the three shells can penetrate it, we can determine that you are capable of killing the M1 tank.” Rashid said to Vitalia.
“You don’t need three, just one. Use the armor-piercing bullets imported from the East!”
Mr. Qin introduced them to the big business of the Wana Group. Of course, the Wana Group also learned about the favor and took advantage of this opportunity to continue to sell weapons and equipment to the East. Whether it was the navy, air force, or army, if the big dogs had Yi Shui's Dongfang equipment naturally has to go with Dongfang.
The armor-piercing bullet imported from the East was moved into the tank. It was divided into two parts. The front warhead exposed half of the tip, and the back carried propellant. The special propellant cartridge was yellow and looked no different from Da Mao's artillery shells. .
Everyone retreated, and the tank crew on the M1 tank also stayed far away.
“Our tanks will definitely not be penetrated.”
"Yes, when it comes to tanks, the M1 tank is definitely the best in the world. Whether it is firepower, armor or protection, it is unmatched by other tanks." At this time, the tank crews were still very proud. From the looks of it, there is absolutely no problem with my own tank. Varner's tank is just ridiculous. What can compare with the tall M1 tank?
Boom!
A ball of fire came out of the tank's muzzle. In front of the fireball, three saddle-shaped bullet holders were thrown away, leaving only the slender bullet core flying forward.
Fast, so fast!
The eardrums were stimulated by the sound of the explosion. Before they could recover, the bullet core had already hit the M1 tank. The entire tank shuddered. Then, hot molten steel droplets could be seen with the naked eye coming out of the collision location.
Armor piercing has begun!
The next moment, calm was restored.
"Did you see it? Our tanks blocked it!" the M1 tank crew said excitedly, watching the T-72 tank turn around and leave, heading towards the camp. They ran over and looked at their tanks.
Something’s wrong, something’s wrong!
There seems to be a deep hole in the front of the tank?
Something’s wrong, something’s wrong!
They opened the hatch cover and saw a mess inside, as if it had just experienced a terrible ravage. The last stop of a slender bullet core was the gunner's seat, which was completely rotten!
The opponent's armor-piercing projectile actually penetrated his own tank!
An armor-piercing bullet does not necessarily cause an explosion when it hits a tank. After all, armor-piercing bullets kill with kinetic energy and rely on a slender penetrating rod. This penetrating rod can cut through the armor, leaving a hole, and then, with thousands of friction generated The high temperature entered the tank and kept bouncing inside.
If you encounter a person, you will mash the person into a pulp. If you encounter an artillery shell, you will light the shell and let the tank explode. If you encounter a fuel tank, you will drill through the fuel tank and let the fuel tank leak.
There are no artillery shells in the M1 tank of Goudahu. They usually just drive the tank around without loading training ammunition. So now, it looks fine on the outside, except for a hole in the front. In fact, it is terrible inside.
“It can still be used after some repairs.” Vitalia walked over, glanced at it, and said calmly.
It is absolutely no problem to be able to penetrate the M1 of the big dog, because the M1 of the big dog is the monkey version.
The Yankees’ own M1 tanks use Chobham armor. Starting with their own M1A1, they have been replaced with depleted uranium armor, but what about the exported ones?
No one knows what model it is, but it is definitely inferior to Chobham's armor. Even with Lao Maozi's own armor-piercing bullets, it can penetrate perfectly.
But the big dog owners don’t know.
Looking at the appearance of the tank, Rashid completely surrendered: "The tank you used Oriental armor-piercing bullets is indeed different from the export type, and its power is greatly increased. We are very satisfied."
“That’s right, this car doesn’t need to be repaired anymore, so it’s better to give it up.” Salman said: “Next, we will purchase a batch of brand new tanks from the East!”
There is no big household, but there is definitely no shortage of money. Now I see that the American M1 tank is so weak, of course I am very dissatisfied. Since the East has such awesome tank guns, of course there are even better tanks, so we might as well import them from the East.
Vitalia smiled and said nothing. These matters had nothing to do with her, and she did not express an opinion.
"The return of the aircraft carrier is of great significance. The security of your port must be strengthened. I think it is best for me to take our Vana there to help you protect the port." This is considered a mission, and the hiring fee is higher!
Salman thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, your security is indeed needed. How about you being responsible for the perimeter security?"
"good."
The land area of Gou Dahu is very large, and the coastline is also very long. However, the most difficult thing for Gou Dahu is that the oceans next to them are all long strips, and they are not directly next to the ocean.
According to geographical location, Goudahu's navy was also divided into two fleets, the eastern and the western fleets, with the eastern fleet in the Gulf of Rest and the western fleet in the Red Sea.
Opposite the Parthian Bay is the Parthian Kingdom, so there are a lot of inconveniences. At the same time, the United States is planning a war. If Gou Dahu's aircraft carrier is anchored there, it will encounter a lot of trouble.
In comparison, the coast of the Red Sea is much better. The countries opposite here are relatively weak, and many of them have good relations with the big players. The aircraft carrier will be safer. When the big players first ordered the aircraft carrier, they put it in the Red Sea. The Faisal Naval Base in Jeddah along the coast has been identified as the aircraft carrier's berthing port.
Jeddah is located south of the central part of the western coastline of Goudahu. It is the second largest city in Goudahu and the largest port. It is the most important financial center of Goudahu.
When the war between the two countries lasted for eight years, the major oil companies were not affected at all. This was because most of the oil produced by the major oil companies was exported through the ports on the west coast. No matter what kind of ship attacks or blockades of the straits, they would not be affected. Big dog owner.
Now, the Jeddah Naval Base is bustling with activity, with countless people standing on the pier, looking at the sea, waiting.
Salman and others did not stand in a conspicuous position to avoid risks. This was also Varna's arrangement.
Vana personnel are on the periphery, occupying various commanding heights, controlling various traffic arteries, conducting strict checks on passing vehicles, and responding to possible dangers at any time.
Vitalia, the person in charge of Vana, stood quietly in front of the welcoming crowd. She put on a robe, covering her body tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes. This outfit made the people next to her stand out. Qin Tao was very curious.
“Weina, are you just doing as the Romans do?”
"Qin, don't tell me, this kind of clothes is really suitable for a place like this. If you wrap it tightly, you won't be exposed to the sun. At the same time, you can make yourself look inconspicuous." Vitalia said. "Look at you, you are in a suit and tie. You look like an important person at first sight. Aren't you afraid of being stared at by sniper rifles?"
"I'm afraid there are already a lot of sniper rifles ambushing nearby, right?" Qin Tao said with a smile: "With your people here, what should I be afraid of?"
Salman listened to the exchange between Qin Tao and Vitalia and knew that the relationship between the two was better than imagined.
“Coming, coming!” At this moment, someone shouted.
Everyone looked into the distance, and sure enough, a shadow of a mast appeared on the sea. The mast gradually grew larger, revealing the outline of a polyhedron. The phased array radar antenna above was clearly visible. This was the aircraft carrier Fahd. Ship island mast!
Then, the ship island was exposed, and the masts and superstructures of other escorting warships were also exposed.
finally reached!
After a long voyage, Goudahu’s aircraft carrier is finally back!
The sailors of Goudahu have lined up at the edge of the deck, standing neatly. They are being inspected in this way!
“Berth No. 8, let them come to No. 8 berth!”
The aircraft carrier has a deep draft and requires a large space for maneuvering. Therefore, the aircraft carrier’s dedicated berth must be large enough. At the Faisal Naval Base, a major powerhouse, four berths have been prepared for the aircraft carrier.
That’s right, four.
In many cases, American aircraft carriers would dock here and spend money. The stars and stripes floating on the aircraft carrier made many people unhappy. Now, it is finally the turn of the big dog to build its own aircraft carrier!
Everyone is looking at this huge aircraft carrier, watching the aircraft carrier gradually approaching.
Suddenly, there was a huge roar in the sky. They looked up and saw a fleet of carrier-based aircraft flying in!
In front is a leading aircraft, followed by a three-plane formation, with a three-plane formation on the left and right. These ten fighter planes form an eagle with spread wings!
Countless people waved at the aircraft. These fighter planes are all part of the aircraft carrier's combat power!
They have an aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft, and, just now, they are world-class!
Thinking of this, countless people's hearts are filled with excitement.
Fighter planes roared past, and several helicopters flew over. These helicopters were arranged in a simple straight line. It didn't look very spectacular, but there seemed to be something hanging underneath the helicopters?
When the helicopters flew closer, they could finally see clearly. Under the first helicopter was their national flag, under the second helicopter was the navy's flag, and under the third helicopter was a banner with their flag on it. The slogan is written in the language: It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others!
Seeing this slogan, Salman sighed with emotion: "Mr. Qin, you are really well-intentioned. Yes, it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. Only when we are strong can we protect our wealth!"
As the plane flew over, the aircraft carrier gradually approached. With the help of several tugboats, the aircraft carrier Fahd docked accurately on the pier. After it stopped, the bridge was set up, and a group of people could not wait to run. Go up.
They are indeed in a hurry.
This is the aircraft carrier they think about day and night! Not everyone has the opportunity to go to the East to see this aircraft carrier under construction. Many of them see it for the first time!
On the deck, Mutailil was wearing a brand new military uniform, standing with the senior commanders of the aircraft carrier behind him, watching the leaders coming up, and shouted loudly: "Report, the aircraft carrier Fahd has returned home gloriously, please leaders instruct!"
"Thanks for your hard work."
“Serve the country,” Moutail shouted.
When he shouted this slogan, all the leaders were very satisfied. After returning from the East, he not only overcame various difficulties and defeated various enemies, but even his consciousness improved.
In the past, soldiers with big families would never shout such slogans spontaneously.
"This aircraft carrier is so beautiful!" Standing on the deck, they could feel the power of this aircraft carrier even more. They looked at the island on the side, at the flags flying on the top of the island, and then at the large area. The deck is very shocking.
However, not everyone went up. Salman watched a group of people pass by with a cheer, but he still stayed where he was.
He was looking at the other warships.
The No. 168 also moved over. Compared with the huge aircraft carrier, this warship did not need the help of tugs and slowly moved to the No. 7 berth next to the No. 8 berth. The whole process was completed in one go, which reflected the excellent quality of the sailors.
“Let’s go up and have a look.” Salman said.
The soldiers from the East also put on white uniforms and stood in a circle around the side of the ship. However, the leaders of Goudahu went to visit the aircraft carrier, and few people paid attention to the warship.
Except Salman.
Salman certainly knows that an aircraft carrier cannot fight alone and must have a large number of **** warships. The 052C destroyer will be the backbone of the Goudahu Navy's aircraft carrier formation in the future, and this kind of warship is even more important.
“Thank you for your hard work.” Qin Tao walked onto the deck and said to the naval officers and soldiers standing on the front deck.
“Serve the people!” everyone shouted in unison.
Li Pingfan walked up: "President Qin, do you want to visit our warship?"
"Of course, this warship has been in service for several years. As the builder, our shipyard also wants to hear your opinions on its use and there are still areas that need improvement." Qin Tao said.
Vitalia followed Qin Tao and got on the boat. She was very satisfied with such a big guy, but she also knew that it was impossible for her mercenary organization to have such a big guy, otherwise it would be too many If you think about it, it will not end well in the end.
Being a spectator now is a good way to broaden your horizons.
Hearing what Qin Tao said needed improvement, Li Pingfan quickly shook his head: "No, the quality of this warship is very good and there is no need for improvement!"
Are you kidding? In front of foreigners, can you say that our warships are not good? Of course, the warship needs improvement, but many reports have been made internally. Experts from Mingzhou Shipyard even went to sea with the warship several times to experience it.
Various problems that need improvement have been completely solved on 052D and 055. Now of course we have to give a negative answer: nothing!
Qin Tao nodded: "Did the joint drill with that aircraft carrier go smoothly this way?"
“Yes, it went very smoothly, including sharing information with the early warning helicopter, etc., everything has been tested.”
Salman nodded when he heard this. He was right to choose this kind of warship!
“Is there really no problem?”
After hearing Qin Tao's question, Li Pingfan thought for a while and then said: "The only problem is that the cooling effect of the air conditioner inside our warship is so good. Everyone has to cover themselves with quilts when they sleep at night, otherwise they will freeze. .”
good! Qin Tao nodded with satisfaction. A warship captain must not only have excellent qualities, but also be flexible and resourceful so that he can easily deal with various problems.
