1890 King of Southeast Asia

South belongs to the Arab province of Kuwait.

It has only been a few years since Nanhua arrived here, and Kuwait, as an important port, has changed a lot.

The wide hardened road connects the oil fields, military camps, and docks.

The biggest change is the dock, where a refinery and large oil storage tanks have been built, and a petrochemical industry chain has recently been established.

Currently, Nanhua has developed a total of 3 oil fields, all of which have started to produce oil from the first well, and they are all self-flowing wells.

There are a total of 7 oil wells, and the annual output last year exceeded one million tons, which are used in large quantities to refine fuel. Gasoline and diesel can be exported to Europe nearby, and kerosene can be exported to the Qing Empire by ship.

This has become another engine for Nanhua's development.

Weng~~

A new tank came out of the port and slowly drove onto the carrier.

"My God, boss, is this the desert?" Che Shouguang looked at the hazy yellow ground in the distance.

"Desert, in layman's terms, is a landform made up of sand. We are now in Kuwait, which is a desert area, but the place you see is not a desert." Liao Zhengyu opened the roof of the car and observed with a telescope.

"Then where is this?" Che Shouguang asked in confusion.

"It's not where this is. What you see is the Gobi Desert. The Gobi Desert should have been an oasis here in the past. Kuwait can also grow crops. One-fifth of the food in the Arab countries comes from here." Liao Zhengyu looked at the scorching sun.

"What is the Gobi Desert? Where does the rest of the food come from?" Che Shouguang was full of energy and looked at the distance with interest.

"The Gobi Desert is a rotten stone beach, but sand is used instead of water. The desert is in front. Do you see it? It's all fine sand." Liao Zhengyu licked his lips.

"The temperature in the engine compartment has reached 60, but we didn't start the engine, and it's hot inside the car." Wang Jia also stuck his head out.

"It's too hot! And it's hard to find water in the desert. It may be a bit difficult to fight." Liao Zhengyu shrank back into the cabin.

"Don't get sunburned, come back." Liao Zhengyu shouted.

"Platoon leader, with such high temperatures, there must be enough cooling water, otherwise the engine won't last long." Wang Jia glanced at the thermometer.

"And it's so hot inside the cabin. I wonder if I'll get heatstroke fighting in this environment?" Che Shouguang wiped his sweat.

"Our mission is to test the tanks. There is also a desert model. I heard that it is equipped with a refrigeration device, which should be better." Liao Zhengyu sat on the chair and wiped his sweat.

It has only been half an hour, and the tanks are being pulled forward by the carrier. If we fight in such a place, it would be torture.

...

We marched for more than an hour until we entered a narrow oasis and stopped.

On the way, Che Shouguang didn't have the energy to look at the desert.

"Hello, Platoon Leader Liao, I'm Wang Ming from the Technical Department." After arriving, a technician-dressed man shook hands with him.

"Hello, Designer Wang, please give me the task." Liao Zhengyu said straight to the point.

There are two black lines on Wang Ming's white sleeves, proving that he is a Level 2 design engineer.

"No, no, no, Platoon Leader Liao, we called you here mainly to listen to the needs of the troops and to test the performance of the tank in the desert." Wang Ming waved his hand hurriedly.

"We need to make improvements based on the feedback of users, and equipment manufacturing cannot be out of touch with the actual needs of the battlefield."

"Then what do we need to do?" Liao Zhengyu asked curiously.

"Start first, simulate the battle, and write down any ideas in the process and tell us." Wang Ming pointed to a simulated combat area.

"It's training, and then find the shortcomings of the tank, understand." Liao Zhengyu nodded.

——

Suddenly...Weng~!

Liao Zhengyu jumped into the tank, and the engine roared.

"The battle begins, reload!" Liao Zhengyu shouted.

Bang!

The locking mechanism was locked, Liao Zhengyu shook the handle, and under the mechanical assistance, the turret slowly turned, and the target slowly overlapped with the crosshairs.

"Stop!" Liao Zhengyu shouted.

Squeak...

The tank slid forward half a meter when it was suddenly locked. After slightly correcting the angle, Liao Zhengyu pressed the fire button.

Boom!

The 37mm long-barreled tank gun roared and accurately hit several human-shaped targets.

Said,

"Go." Liao Zhengyu gently kicked Wang Jia.

Dingling clang~

Clang!

The shell was replaced and the shell fell into the cabin.

Wang Jia used two joysticks to skillfully overcome various obstacles.

On Liao Zhengyu's side, a steel-concrete fortification came into his sight.

"Replace the armor-piercing shell."

Boom!

The shell was fired. For safety reasons, the shell that has not been fired cannot be ejected in principle.

Clang!

"Loading completed!"

"Stop!"

The sound of friction was particularly harsh.

Boom!

Liao Zhengyu pressed the firing button, and the 37mm armor-piercing shell flew out of the barrel and successfully penetrated the 8-centimeter-thick reinforced concrete structure.

"Go." Liao Zhengyu entered the state of construction.

Woo~Wong~

The tank continued to move forward. On the way, Liao Zhengyu destroyed 3 fortifications and 14 man-shaped target positions with 27 shells.

Tu~Woo~~

The tank suddenly stopped in the sand and did not move.

pp\u003c

"What happened?" Liao Zhengyu asked with sweat on his forehead.

"The engine is out and the restart failed. I have to get off the car to check." Wang Jia tried to restart it, but there was no response.

"Will the cylinder explode?" Che Shouguang saw a little water vapor through the observation port.

"Take a look at the car." Liao Zhengyu opened the door. Sure enough, the engine location continued to emerge and repeated white smoke.

"Be careful, it's hot." Liao Zhengyu poured a little water on the engine compartment cover, and snoring a sound.

"What's wrong? Did the engine turn off?" Wang Ming rushed over with a small motorcycle.

"It may be worse." Liao Zhengyu took out the crowbar and raised the engine compartment cover with Wang Jia 1.

"The water pipe is ruptured, the circulation cooling fails, 0 pieces of wear, and the engine is scrapped." Wang Ming looked at 1 and set a conclusion.

"The temperature is too high to cool." Liao Zhengyu nodded.

"Remember 1, the cooling system needs to be redesigned immediately. The original water circulating cooling system is not suitable for use in desert areas." Wang Ming said to the assistant, picked up the tool and started to measure data.

"Liao Lai is long, please help dismantle the engine 1, we need more comprehensive damage data ..."

In the two river basins, the Mesopotamian plains, the place where the Hammurabi codes were bred, and the cradle of human civilization.

However, the original civilization of the two river basins has long disappeared, and it is replaced by Islamic religious civilization.

It is now the sphere of influence of South China under the Osman Empire.

One Nanhua "caravan" is driving slowly on the ancient river.

One of the boats, a few people wearing headscarves were excited to say something to a young man.

"Special Envoy, we are attacking the despicable Ariel tribe, we urgently need support!" Mohamed said anxiously.

"What do you need? What can you pay? How do you want to solve this?" Lin Pingzhi threw three questions.

"We want to get the support of the arms, and even the cannon. As for giving, we have ore, barley, dates, camels, cattle and sheep, and land and population." Mohamed said happily.

"First of all, one cannon is not cheap. You need to change two thousand sheep. I don't think you have such a need. You can change one hundred advanced rifles at the same price." Lin Pingzhi shook the pipe.

"Secondly, we do not want to solve the problem with the means of violence. The violence cannot solve the problem, and we can only create hatred." Lin Pingzhi shook his head.

Once he thought, no matter what, the people on this land should be a bit civilized, after all, it was an ancient land.

After one month, thousands of rifles were sold, tens of thousands of various bullets, and the mutual conquest of each other's blood and cruelty. Essence

"But the Ariel tribe is attacking us. If we can't get these weapons, we will be killed. The wife and daughter will become a playwide, and the son is killed or turned into a slave ..." Mohammed looked at Lin tears at Lin Facing it.

"How much do you want?" Lin Pingzhi looked at the farmland by the river.

South China needs food. It is easier to transport food from the Mesopotamian plains to Arabia to south than to transport from South China and does not take up capacity.

The question is how to buy.

South China purchases food in the form of banknotes and goods. In the first year, it was okay, forming a positive response. The cultivation of this plain is more prosperous.

In the second year, the local government purchased 1,000 rifles and 1 artillery. The Arab jurisdiction didn't think about it and sold it directly.

p \u003e\u003e

Then ... the battle began.

At first it was the battle between local governments, and South China intervened in mediation.

It didn't take long for the sold rifles to flow into the black market, the tribal war opened, and the Arabian was powerless to stop.

After completing another transaction, Lin Pingzhi looked at the Arabs (farmers or slaves) on the other side of the shore, and asked the secretary in doubt.

"This is really not our handwriting?"

Lin Ping's capital is puzzled, because South China is the Arabian that uses this method, and it only forms auxiliary troops.

"According to various documents, this is not what we do. All public or confidential documents show that we need a stable plain area to provide more supplies." The secretary said.

"What about the arms trade?" Lin Pingzhi was lying on the chair.

"It was originally a conventional trade. Later, there was no way. The chaos was already up. It would not be too powerful to make a certain party, which would appear a new country." The secretary shook his head.

The first batch of transactions are recorded and recorded. The Arabian even considers whether the enemy will use the weapon to resist South China. I did not expect to fight the civil war.

Say app --- P\u003e

"How far is it from the terminal?" Lin Pingzhi shook his head.

Their confidentiality level is level 2, and all 2 files 2 files can be viewed at will. Mesopotamia obviously cannot rise to level 1.

"One hundred and 60 kilometers, and the direct flights arrived after about 6 hours, and stopped in the middle ..." The secretary asked.

"Let the weapon ships go directly. They want to buy anything. Anyway, no one can buy a machine. I don't know what I am doing!" Lin Pingzhi complained a little.

The task of his coming here is to plan the Mesopotamian supporting area. Nanhua hopes that it can become the source of wool, food, and meat.

To this end, he brought a large number of production machinery. So far, he sold three tractors -putting machine guns on the roof.
