Chapter 355

“What’s the situation over there?” Xie Kai returned to the headquarters, it was already time to get off work in the afternoon.

Wang Guilin was looking for him after lunch.

Xie Kai said his thoughts again, Zheng Yucheng and others did not object, “This way, it will be easier to kick them out early. You are really ready to communicate with the Iraqis and invite them to see our tank prototype test site tomorrow. ?”

“Yes, they signed a contract of intent. As long as the performance shown tomorrow is in line with the previous design, there should be no big problem. We don’t have too much time to make improvements little by little. Only with actual data on the battlefield can we better feedback. . Tests under any extreme environment cannot be compared with the battlefield!” Xie Kai said.

“But if something goes wrong…” Zheng Yucheng was worried that it would affect the order. “And they don’t have skilled operators.”

“If the tank prototype is tested there, our technicians must follow, otherwise how can we get the first-hand data?” Xie Kai doesn’t want to explain this matter anymore, can’t say that, must be familiar with the Iraqi armored forces from the beginning Isn’t this tank?

Not to mention that he deliberately sold the 359 tank to the Iraqis in order to save the Chinese tank sign that was smashed by the US military in the Gulf War.

Similarly, it is also to cheat the U.S. military.

“What about the Iranians?”

“They are not interested in our tank, so I won’t show it to them for the time being.” Xie Kai said, “I have an idea…”

“Can it work?” Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin’s eyes widened after hearing Xie Kai’s thoughts.



“We shoot the security personnel. If something goes wrong, our people will do our best to protect it. The Iraqis will agree.” Xie Kai also has no bottom in his heart, he is only 50% sure.

For things like the 359 tank, the Iraqis did not make it clear that they would purchase it on a large scale.

They purchase more of Type 69 main battle tanks.

Without showing excellent performance, Iraqis will not really spend money.

A contract of intent is a shit, even if a purchase contract is signed, it may be torn up.

“Who is their person in charge here?” Xie Kai asked, it’s better to be a familiar person, so that it’s easy to operate.

“Col. Harry Mossang, they are all Tikrit backbone members of the Presidential Guard, the most loyal officer under Saddam.” Zheng Yucheng emphasized.

Xie Kai smiled with satisfaction.

Harry Mossang is an old acquaintance, he already knows each other very well.

Without much talk, let Wang Guilin directly call Harry Mossán and invite him to dinner together in the evening.

Regarding Xie Kai’s invitation to dinner, Harry Mossan readily agreed that the 404 management committee has not made much progress, and the number of avant-garde air defense missiles delivered is far below their expectations.

What he hopes most is to start from Xie Kai.

Let Xie Kai help to intercede and deliver part of the quantity as soon as possible. The Iranian air force is now deployed much more frequently than before. It is not for bombing, nor for air combat or reconnaissance, but to lure Iraqi fighters into their ambush. At that time, we will use the avant-garde air defense missiles obtained from China to attack.

Of course, so far, no such situation has occurred.

Everything is Harry Mossan’s guess.

Since the first batch, Iran has acquired at least 150 avant-garde air defense missiles.

“The 359 tank prototype is completed, and the system compatibility and other tests are in full compliance with the design indicators. Starting tomorrow, the field test will be carried out.” Xie Kai and Harry Mossang made an appointment to meet in the cafeteria, and the dinner was in accordance with the Iraqi diet. Used to prepare.

Xie Kai is straight to the point.

“The completion of the prototype does not mean finalized production. Thank you, I hope you can help and deliver more anti-aircraft missiles as soon as possible. What we promised to you has also been handed over to you…” Harry Mossant said The tank is not interested.

“We have nothing to do with the delivery of missiles. We have been seeking to increase production capacity.” Xie Kai said slowly, “The Iranians are also very interested in 359 tanks. Once they also place an order, it is likely to affect our delivery… ”

An inexplicable fire gushes out of Harry Mossan’s heart.

It’s actually useful to say something to Iranians.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Seeing the other party and not speaking, Xie Kai could only take the initiative to speak, “Colonel, you should be aware that there is a very complicated test time from prototype testing to finalization… You have ordered hundreds of tanks, and you have to wait. Deliver it after a year…”

“What do you want to say?” Harry Mossan asked with a frown, not understanding Xie Kai’s purpose.

“In the case that the field test can reach the design index, you can ask the base to provide a batch of prototype vehicles for combat testing. If the base allows it, it will be good for both of us. We need actual combat data, and you can directly ask us Arrange the technicians to be sent to your country to build a logistics support system…” Xie Kai has an expression that I am very considerate of you. “The sample car is not a finalized product, the price can be a lot less…”

“You know, we only value performance, not price!” Harry Mossant was tempted.

The solution proposed by Xie Kai is what they need.

Otherwise, people will not be sent here to start learning.

They need to be able to play combat effectiveness as soon as they get these advanced tanks.

But who knows how long the prototype car tested will last?

“Of course. However, you can make a request. Once the design is finalized, the delivery contract must be guaranteed to you first…” Xie Kai said, “You can even make a fuss about the delivery of avant-garde air defense missiles.”

Harry Mossang was completely tempted, “All this will have to wait for your field test to be completed!”

When Xie Kai heard this, he was relieved.

As long as Harry Mossan agrees, it will be easy to convince Issad and Ibrahim in the future, and they will persuade their president.

“By the way, I heard that you proposed to let our officers and soldiers train with Persian soldiers?” Harry Mossand asked Xie Kai casually.

The smile on Xie Kai’s face froze for a while, and it returned to normal in an instant. “Colonel, don’t you think that training with the enemy will stimulate your fighters’ enthusiasm for training more?”

“But it will also give them a chance to get to know us.”

“Do you think that your subordinates will not understand them in the process?” Xie Kai asked, “The training we provide is basic. The real training will be separated from the actual training. Otherwise, you will leave it here. As a battlefield, we can’t explain to our superiors!”

Harry Mossant looked at Xie Kai for a while before looking away.

The two casually chatted about other things, and then they parted ways. That night, accompanied by base personnel, Harry Mossang went to the garrison regiment and explained that his subordinates must strictly obey the orders of the Chinese instructors.

Xie Kai used the same argument to persuade the Iranians.

The Iranians are very dissatisfied with the behavior of the base, but Xie Kai complains that the garrison can provide not many instructors. After all, this is an exploratory experiment under a new operational mode…

Now, if you train every other day, you can’t reach the training intensity at all, which is not good for everyone.

Suppress the opponent on the training field and prove that they are better. When you get to the battlefield and understand your opponent, you can have a greater chance of winning.

It even threatened the opponent with the number of advanced air defense missiles delivered.

Under the circumstance of doing both hard and soft, Iranian head Hazari had to accept Xie Kai’s conditions, saying that early the next morning, before the training began, they would go to the defense regiment and instruct their personnel to strictly abide by the instructor’s arrangements.

After fooling the Iranians, it was ten o’clock in the evening.

Xie Kai went home, looked at the cold home, couldn’t help but shook his head with a wry smile, and clearly said that he would come back to life and enjoy life.

But now, life is endlessly busy.

But this is more substantial than before.

Still getting up amid the sound of the bugle and washing up, Xie Kai didn’t bother to go to the headquarters building.

After tidying up, it was only slightly bright outside.

Last night, the 359 tank prototype in the assembly workshop was taken to the tank training ground of the garrison regiment.

Xie Kai didn’t know whether it was dragged by a car or drove directly.

Waiting directly on the road next to the 359 workshop at the gate of the base, after a short while, the car came out of the base.

“What about the Iraqi?” Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng as soon as he got on the car.

“With the Pakistani.”

“When did they come together?” Xie Kai reacted instantly. Originally, Iraq purchased weapons and equipment from the country, and it was Pakistanis who were pulling the line from it.

“How did you talk to them last night?” Zheng Yucheng did not answer Xie Kai’s words, but asked about Xie Kai’s contact with both parties last night.

Xie Kai probably said, Zheng Yucheng was happy from ear to ear.

“You kid, it’s really good. In this way, we will even have to bear the cost of manufacturing the prototype car for the experiment!”

“They are really willing to purchase prototype vehicles for combat experiments? For training?” Wang Guilin thought this was a joke.

Are Iraqis that stupid?

“Doesn’t all fighter training have trainers? This is a third-generation tank, and its operation is much more complicated than that of the Type 69 main battle tank. What’s more, this is much more reliable than a trainer, and this thing can still be used in warfare. Xie Kai talked nonsense. “But the price of this thing cannot be too expensive or too low. How much is our cost?”

“The prototype car now costs nearly 2.8 million. If the computer-aided system and image stabilization fire control system are not used, the price can be reduced to less than 2 million.” Wang Guilin said, “It’s too expensive for our army. ”

Xie Kai rolled his eyes as he listened.

This is a tank with three generations of performance at a cost of 2.8 million, which is very expensive?

“Isn’t the technology cost counted?” Xie Kai asked.

“Forget the cost, the price will be high.” Wang Guilin shook his head, “Otherwise, we wouldn’t say that our army can’t afford it.”

“Anyway, this is for export. I don’t know if Mr. Zhu knows the cost and will have a headache. Their tanks are more advanced than ours!” Zheng Yucheng said with some gloat, “Developed, the troops can’t afford it. ,By the time……”

“Even if it is a small amount of equipment, the army will definitely use it. Our army can’t always use old tanks.”
