Chapter 1585： Too much kimchi

The biggest weakness of the K2 tank is its terrible operating mechanism, especially the gearbox comparable to classic cars, that is, it is replaced with a tractor that pulls goods in the countryside. It is estimated to be better than the K2. At least the tractor is still very difficult to turn a pit. relaxing.

However, Yang Cheng is also accustomed to the characteristics of Bang Guo who likes to avoid the heavyweights. Look at their short-track speed skating team. The most insidious and small-movement team in the world is stunned by their media as a victim. On the contrary, the image of the national Z team, which is honest and well-behaved, has become a big villain with no evil.

This leads to a truth, Ma Shan is being ridden by others, and Ren Shan is deceived by others!

Closer to home, the data searched by Google shows that the K2 "Black Panther" main battle tank is a new generation of main battle tank jointly developed by the Korea National Defense Research Institute (ADD), the current Dai Automobile Group and other Korean defense industry companies. A large number of foreign and domestic technologies are mixed and developed at a cost of 230 million US dollars.

The vehicle is mainly used to replace the old-fashioned American-made M48A5K medium tank in the South Korean army. The project began research and development in 1995 and began mass production in 2011. South Korea plans to equip 680 vehicles with a single vehicle cost of more than 8.5 million US dollars.

Yang Cheng squeezed his chin, and it looked good, at least for this price, the K2's surface data is satisfactory.

But the gearbox is flawed. If the tank doesn't have certain mobility, what kind of tank is it called? That is a fixed cannon.

Among the three major indicators for measuring tank performance, mobility, protection, and firepower are juxtaposed. These three indicators are indispensable, just like how can a person live without a heart, liver, and lungs?

Up to now, the first batch of 100 K2 tanks was produced in 2011, and 13 of them were delivered for the first time in July 2014.

However, this 55-ton combat tank is not equipped with the previously advertised Korean domestic power system. Instead, it uses a German common rail diesel engine of 1500 horsepower and a German Lenk company with 5 forward gears and 3 reverse gears. The fully automatic gearbox.

It is this imported power system that ensures the smooth progress of the first batch of K2 main battle tanks.

At this time, the problem with the gearbox has not been exposed. After all, except for the shell, it is basically German. The Germans are rigorous and everyone knows the whole world.

However, the use of German goods is obviously not in line with the expectations of the sticks who want to blow up, so when the first batch of tanks is still in mass production, South Korea's Lu Jun can’t wait to sign another contract with the manufacturer worth 90 billion won (about (USD 820 million) for the production of the second batch of 100 K2 tanks.

At the contract signing ceremony, the manufacturer and the Jun party vowed to adopt Korean domestic power systems.

This power system includes a new type of power component developed and produced by South Korea’s Doosan Group, but I don’t know if I was surprised at first sight. Isn’t this a copy of the German common rail diesel engine? The same is electric start, even the output power is also 1500 horsepower, which can make the K2 main battle tank reach a maximum speed of 70 km/h, but in the Korean population, this engine has become a brand new product with independent intellectual property rights. , The thickness of the skin is enough to defend the artillery of the K2 tank.

In addition, in order to match the engine, a gearbox that is 99% similar to the German one is also installed. It is also a copy of the belt. It also arrogantly adds a forward gear on the original basis, which becomes 6 forward gears and 3 reverse gears, sound advanced, right? Very good?

It can be estimated that no one would have thought that it was exactly the problem with the awesome gearbox that their brains got hot. The reliability and durability of the transmission system have different sizes, which directly led to the second batch of K2 tanks. The mass production plan was forced to postpone.

Due to serious technical problems with the transmission system independently developed by South Korea on the K2 "Black Panther" main battle tank, planning to produce more K2 main battle tanks has become an impossible task. Only the imported transmission system ordered from abroad has arrived. , Mass production can proceed further, and the mass production plan is expected to be postponed for three years.

But the problem is that the Germans have increased restrictions on the export of important weapons and equipment, and want to get German goods again, but they still don’t know how to wait until the year of the monkey.

But even if the imported gearbox arrives, it can be assembled! The domestic production rate of the K2 tank, which is touted as a super tank, is less than 50%. No, no, it’s an exaggeration. It is definitely less than 40%, or even 30%. It was completely exposed that such a main battle tank, the number one in the universe, did not even pass by the concrete pier!

Are you embarrassed to jump out to grab orders? It's definitely a strange idea that you can only get when you eat too much kimchi and your head is corroded by nitrite.

Again, in the whole of South Korea, except for some beauties who have less plastic surgery and are commendable, this country is a bug, and it is a kind of bad make up.

With a sneer, Yang Cheng said to the phone, "Are you still there?"

I was silent for too long after reading the information, and I thought Leiden hung up the phone I didn’t expect the mobile phone to display always online, "Now the boss~"

"Well~ I sent you some information in your mailbox, you take a good look, then sort it out, and find a way to send it to Oman Jun. I don’t believe that after reading these black materials, they are still so determined to buy Korean products."

Leiden didn't know what Yang Cheng had found, so he could only respond.

"By the way, you can also contact me with the real power of the Oman jun party. If you can make a decision on the purchase order, you can invite him to the United States after the order is set, or I can go to the United States in the past. He talked in person."

Worried that Leiden could not handle the matter well, Yang Cheng simply prepared to go out on his own. After all, it was a big deal close to 1 billion U.S. dollars, and Yang Cheng did not feel shame.

"Good boss, but I suggest you come here in person to show our sincerity."

Yang Cheng smiled. This straightforward soldier has changed a lot. He could never say such things before.

"Well, listen to you, I will now let the crew contact the route to Oman."

"No problem, I'll pick you up at the airport then."

Hang up the phone, press the pager and let Susu come in and order, "Notify the crew that we are going to fly to Oman~"

After hesitating for a while, he said again, "This time you go with Jun Yu, to see the Arab world, and you should see the world."

Su Su was naturally very surprised when he heard this. It was better to go out and run around the world with Yang Cheng than to stay in the office and stare at the computer. "Yes, I will go now."

This girl is getting more and more mature, and it is rare to show off the little girl's side. Yang Cheng looked at it and felt her eyes brightened, "Don't be stunned, give you time to go home quickly to pack your luggage, remember to bring conservative clothes, in Arabia The world cannot be worn too exposed."

Susu stuck his tongue out, "I know, then I'm going."
