Chapter 293: As easy as crushing an ant(1/2)
The Land Cruiser bypassed the tiger's head and continued to move forward, leaving behind two poor people crying for their father and mother.
"Zaitsev, where did the villain come from?" Qin Tao asked Zaitsev.
Zaitsev shook his head: "I don't know. If you dare to block our car, I'm really tired of living. I broke their legs today just to teach them a lesson. If they don't remember it in the future, I will blow their heads off."
!”
Zaitsev was originally a naval infantryman, and later he followed Nikolai and was responsible for doing dark work. These ignorant social people were killed at will. Anyway, in such a large area in the Far East, you can just find a place.
Just throw it away and it's solved.
"The villain should be the most powerful force here." Nikolai said: "The villain's real name should be Vyacheslav. Currently, in Volikonsky, he has contracted the laterite nickel mine there."
"Laterite nickel mine?" After hearing the news, Qin Tao was stunned: "Are there any nickel mines in the Far East?"
According to Qin Tao's impression, Lao Maozi's nickel mines are mainly in the Ural Mountains and near the Arctic Circle. He didn't expect that there are actually nickel mines in the Far East?
"Yes, our country has a vast territory and rich products. Even in the Far East, there are various mineral resources." Nicholas said: "Although the nickel mine there is not famous, the reserves are still about 100,000 tons.
.”
Lao Maozi's nickel mine has currently proven reserves of more than six million tons. These 100,000 tons can indeed only be regarded as a small mine, but Qin Tao is secretly happy in his heart.
Whatever you need, you will get it. I have long planned to get a nickel mine, but this time I happened to do it.
"That villain must have done a lot of bad things while robbing this nickel mine, right?" Qin Tao asked Nicholas.
Nicholas nodded: "Yes, I heard that hundreds of people should have died in dozens of large and small firefights. Those dry laterite nickel ores are all filled with red blood." After Nicholas finished speaking,
Qin Tao glanced at Qin Tao in surprise: "Qin, are you interested in that nickel mine?"
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, we need nickel ore, Nikolay, my friend, if possible, I hope to obtain the mining rights of that nickel ore. How about we split the profits in half?"
In the past, doing business was a one-time thing, and once the money was spent, it was gone. But now, if you have a mine, you can make money continuously, and it can be passed down to three generations.
At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's words, Nicholas took a deep breath: "Qin, the forces here are complicated. I will try my best, but it will take time."
"I know, Nikolai, my friend, I have enough patience. I will transfer one million to your account as labor fee."
It's not easy to build a mine. You have to take care of everything, both black and white. After all, Nicholas is in the army, not in the local area. He will not be stingy in places that need to spend money to clear up.
Nicholas nodded.
The car drove into Belogorsk and went straight into the base. Through the car window, Qin Tao could see a row of Maz 543 military vehicles. This monster with eight big wheels looked majestic and majestic.
Unique aesthetics of violence.
In addition to the eight-wheeled Scud missile, there is also a six-wheeled missile, which looks smaller. That is the 9k79 missile. Although the range is less than 200 kilometers, its accuracy is very high and completely
It is a weapon for missile troops to carry out precision strikes.
Before attacking, the West likes to use its air force to blow up various targets on the enemy's positions. However, Lao Maozi's army is the best in the world. It is awesome and has to do everything by itself. Before the attack begins, it must kill the enemy's deep targets.
The mission is accomplished by relying on the short-range ballistic missiles equipped by itself.
The army stationed here is a specialized missile brigade belonging to a certain motorized infantry division, responsible for spearheading the attack.
However, the rows of equipment looked as if they had not been moved for a long time. Even the tires of several vehicles were flat. The soldiers who occasionally saw walking around looked listless.
The car drove to the front of the brigade headquarters. As everyone got out of the car, someone came out happily.
"Your Excellency Nicholas, why do you have time to come here?"
"Yeah, I haven't been here for a long time. I stopped by this time and came over to take a look. By the way, let me introduce you. This is Qin, my friend. Qin, this is Onopko."
"Qin, you are Nikolai's friend, that is, my friend. Come on, let's go in and talk." Onopko shook hands with Qin Tao enthusiastically, and then entered the office together.
"Onopko, do you have some expired Scud missiles here?" Nikolai said to Onopko: "Qin is responsible for purchasing scraps. If there are any, you can sell them to him."
Expired Scud missiles?
Do missiles have a shelf life?
This is true. For example, the domestically introduced Sea Sidewinder lasts for about seven to ten years, and the Italian Aspaede lasts for five years. However, if you analyze it carefully, you can know that these missiles have a warranty.
This is entirely because they use solid propellant. The fuel is added to the missile when it leaves the factory. After being stored in the warehouse for ten or eight years, the efficiency of these fuels is reduced due to chemical reactions.
As for ordinary liquid missiles, because the fuel is added when used, the shelf life of this kind of missile is very long, which can easily be twenty or thirty years.
Therefore, there is rarely any expiration date for Scud missiles. The earliest models were in service in the late 1950s, and they are just over 30 years old now. Most of the 8k14 missiles equipped in large numbers in their army are in their 70s and 80s.
Era equipment for the troops.
"If you have it, we can purchase it in large quantities, and we will give you the best price if the quantity is large." Qin Tao said: "For example, if you can provide us with two hundred pieces, then we are willing to pay a price of US$150,000 each."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Originally, Qin Tao planned to say 200,000, but he thought that he had to share some benefits with Nicholas, so he simply quoted a price of 150,000.
This is not low, two hundred pieces! After such a business is completed, Onopko will receive three million US dollars in benefits!
Onopko made his decision immediately: "No problem, we can sell you the expired missiles in stock, and then give you twenty more as a gift!"
The business was concluded. Someone introduced it. It was so simple and easy. Qin Tao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's make a deal! Tonight, we will send them to the port of the Pacific Fleet base."
"no problem!"
Most of the Scud missiles that can be seen around the world use the Maz 543 high-mobility wheeled launcher. In fact, this wheeled launcher numbered 9p117 was not popular with the old Maozi army.
, in order to allow the missile force to keep up with the advance of the main force, they like to use 2p19 tracked launch vehicles.
The chassis of this vehicle is modified from the isu-152k self-propelled artillery chassis. It has first-class maneuverability. However, at the same time, this tracked chassis leads to defects such as complex structure, slow speed, high cost, and difficult maintenance. Therefore, when it comes to
Later, except for a few field troops who were still using them, most of the other tracked chassis were eliminated.
Now, it is not easy to complete the task of transporting two hundred Scud missiles.
Those Maz 543 military vehicles cannot be moved, otherwise it will be easy for others to spot problems. There are not enough specialized Scud missile transport vehicles, so the crawler chassis that has been rusting in the warehouse for decades was dragged out again.
This time, these chassis will take a one-way journey. After arriving at the port, they will be shipped together. It can be regarded as a free gift from Onopco to Qin Tao.
As for whether Qin Tao will use these things to make iron directly or use them after returning, Onopko doesn't need to worry.
When it gets dark, everything is ready.
Qin Tao looked at this huge motorcade and felt very excited.
Most transport vehicles use 6*6-driven Maz 200 military vehicles. The appearance of this vehicle looks similar to the old Jiefang in China. It has a pointed head, round headlights on both sides, and even the rearview mirror.
The small round lenses look so retro.
Behind it, there is a trailer hanging, single row tires, and not even brakes. It is controlled entirely by the front of the car. Originally it could only carry one missile, but after welding a simple frame, it can carry more
A missile.
Even so, there were not enough transport vehicles, so some ordinary cars temporarily served as trailers. Two rows of wheels were tied to the bottom of the missile and hung on the back of the car, looking just like transporting telegraph poles.
Only Lao Maozi can do it. I don't know if the projectile will be deformed all the way. Anyway, I'm just selling second-hand goods, so the customer's requirements shouldn't be too high.
The more than twenty 2p19 launch vehicles are definitely the most outstanding ones in the entire team. The missile is longer than the chassis, so an iron frame is exposed at the front end of the chassis, extending forward two or three meters, and the warhead is like this
Poke it directly in front, it looks mighty and domineering.
"Qin, let's go." Nicholas said to Qin Tao.
"No, Nikolai, I want to take this car back."
Seeing Qin Tao pointing at the 2p19 launch vehicle, Nikolai could only smile and shake his head: "Okay, since you are willing, then take this vehicle back and see you at the base."
Nikolai still likes his Land Cruiser. The car is very comfortable to sit in. He is a naval admiral. Even on land, he has to ride in a special cruiser.
Watching the Toyota SUV drive away, Qin Tao waved to the people around him: "Come on, let's set off. Our skills are very good. We can complete this transportation task without turning on the lights."
In order to avoid being discovered by aerial reconnaissance, any military driver must learn how to drive without turning on the lights at night. Now, with the moon and stars scarce, you can drive normally even without turning on the lights.
This is bound to be an unforgettable night.
Qin Tao was in the 2p19 launch vehicle, excitedly looking at everything around him.
Although it is a tracked chassis, it does not need to charge into battle. Therefore, the cab of this vehicle is similar to that of a car. There are two large glasses in the front so that you can see the road clearly. At the same time, there is a special launch control room above the cab.
.
Since the view was wider from above, Qin Tao sat on it and felt the momentum of the tracked vehicle.
The engine at the rear was buzzing, and the tracks on both sides were turning. Qin Tao looked at the gradually changing terrain on both sides, and then couldn't help but ask: "Are we going the wrong way?"
When I came here, I obviously didn't take this path.
"That's right, we can save dozens of kilometers by taking this road." The voice of Ivan, the driver in front, sounded: "And we can't take the highway, otherwise we will be scolded."
Only then did Qin Tao react.
The road outside the military camp was originally a dirt road. Their vehicles could come and go on the dirt road at any time, and then drive to the highway.
The wheeled vehicles at the back can travel on the road, but if these tracked vehicles are driven on the road, the road will be completely useless.
Lao Maozi has never used rubber crawler tracks. There are more than 20 crawler launch vehicles, but they cannot cause harm to the highway.
"Although we are slow, we can take a shortcut and maybe catch up with the off-road vehicle in front of us." Ivan said, stepping on the accelerator hard again.
As an experienced driver, Ivan is quite familiar with the roads here.
"Really? That's great. When we get to our destination, I'll treat you to a drink!" Qin Tao was also very happy.
Forward, forward!
