Chapter 213 Honest Man

Two hours.

The convoy finally arrived in Shekou.

When he arrived in Shekou for the first time, Liu Tao was very curious about this legendary place.

At this time, there were no high-rise buildings in Shekou, but factories were everywhere.

But you can still see some development sites.

The motorcade stopped and everyone got out.

Liu Tao saw the conspicuous words on the gate - China Golden Dragon Computer Co., Ltd.

The company's LOGO is a golden dragon.

He also saw that Huo Yingdong and others were already waiting here.

What has been built so far is only the first-phase factory, with the second-phase and third-phase factories to follow.

The ceremony was very grand and many leaders attended the ceremony.

Reporters took photos or videos one after another.

Then everyone entered the production workshop. There were not many workers now, and trial production began at this time.

It was the first time for many people to see the production of computers.

When they saw that the first computer was assembled, all the leaders applauded.

Then, the technicians began to demonstrate.

Not a big screen, keyboard, mouse, and host!

After plugging in all the cables, the staff member pressed the power button and the display began to light up.

The leaders were very curious, and when they heard that such a computer had a computing power of two million operations, they couldn't help but be amazed.

Liu Tao didn't think anything of it. Even though this computer was already at the world's leading level among personal computers, it still looked stupid, thick, and unsightly.

As for performance, it's nothing.

At night, Liu Tao was called away by his leader.

But this time, the leader didn't ask about computers, but about Panshan Machinery Factory.

Liu Tao reported to the leaders the current situation of Panshan Machinery Factory, including the production base under construction and the construction of Hesheng Battalion to Hesheng Brigade.

Naturally, this also includes the Malone training base!

Four days later, Liu Tao and the others returned to Panshan Machinery Factory.

The first thing he did when he came back was that Zhao Guoping submitted a marriage application.

This is the case in this era. Marriage needs to be reported, and marriage can only be done after approval from the leadership.

This is true for ordinary workers, not to mention cadres.

Liu Tao was amused. It seemed that Zhao Guoping was very fast.

Picking up the pen, Liu Tao approved the application.

Liu Tao then turned his focus to the trial production of the Type 81 light tank, the Type 81 amphibious tank, and the Type 81 medium tank.

He formed three teams, each responsible for a tank.

The first thing every team needs to do is to thoroughly study the design information.

Later, the trial production in the factory will be handed over to them for technical responsibility.

Of course, there is no chance to produce these three tanks this year, not because of anything else, but because Panshan Machinery Factory does not have more production workshops. Besides, the main focus now is on the production of Type 80 tanks and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

In order to increase production, the tank production workshop adopts three shifts.

Tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were produced one after another and then transported to Yangcheng Port.

Yangcheng Port.

Liu Tao came here rarely.

"Mr. Al, Lieutenant Colonel Rashid, my friend, look at these tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. They are all very advanced." Liu Tao said with a smile.

Tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were lined up neatly.

Both Al and Rashid smiled.

"Liu, my friend, it is very pleasant to work with you. I am very lucky to have a friend like you. You are a very honest person and abide by the contract!" Al smiled, and then couldn't help cursing the others: "Unlike Those bastards, when they see a war, the prices of weapons and ammunition rise sharply!”

Liu Tao smiled and said: "My friend, since we have signed a contract, we only need to implement it in accordance with the contract."

"But you guys know that the US dollar is depreciating rapidly. The next time you purchase something, it will definitely be more than this price!" Liu Tao shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

The US dollar has experienced rapid depreciation, and to be honest, this is reaping the rewards for everyone.

However, for a major oil-producing country like Iraq, it is nothing, because at the beginning of last year, the price of oil exceeded US$30/barrel, and then the Iran-Iraq war broke out, and the price of oil exceeded US$40/barrel. .

Iraq can export at least 3 million barrels of oil per day, which means it can purchase at least US$120 million a day and at least US$45 billion a year.

So despite the fact that the war has begun, Iraq continues to purchase weapons and equipment, but its foreign exchange reserves are increasing instead of falling.

The current Iran-Iraq war is fiercely contested around Abadan. Overall, Iraq currently has the advantage.

However, Persia often used human sea tactics and resisted tenaciously with the help of buildings.

Iraq also failed to capture Abadan.

And the bigger trouble is that the Persians fight more and more, as if there is no decrease no matter how hard they fight.

The Iraqi military strength has increased to 150,000, but they still cannot capture Abadan, and even the supply lines are constantly attacked by Persians.

The Middle East is now the world's energy center. The outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war naturally attracted the attention of the world. After all, it is impossible not to pay attention to it.

Even China has sent military observers to the Middle East.

"Liu, we believe that you are a good person and will never raise random prices. Next time we need to purchase tanks or self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, we will definitely come to you again," Al said.

At this time, the ship has been docked.

Iraqi drivers began to enter the cockpit one by one, and then drove tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to the ship.

After training, the first batch of 200 people will follow this batch of goods back.

In addition to tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, there are also a large number of firearms, ammunition and shells.

"When will your second batch of people come for training?" Liu Tao asked.

Rashid said: "Soon, it will arrive in Beijing in about half a month."

According to the contract agreement signed at the beginning, they will send six groups of people to China to receive training on Type 80 tanks and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, with 200 people in each group.

In addition to providing training services, Panshan Machinery Factory also has to provide maintenance services.

Liu Tao nodded, and the next second batch of deliveries will be in October, which is about half a year away from now.

Half a year is enough to deliver the second batch of goods in time.

"Mr. Al, Lieutenant Colonel Rashid, we will send a group of military observers to you next month, and we hope you can provide more convenience." Liu Zhenbang said.

Liu Zhenbang also came for the first batch of deliveries today.

In the past period of time, they have often met and dealt with each other many times, and they are also acquaintances.

Liu Zhenbang also has a mission this time, which is about military observers.

After all, military observers are very special. They go to the battlefield to observe the battlefield, which cannot be separated from the support of the country concerned.

Otherwise, if the other party is not happy, the military observer is injured or killed, which is not good.

And it just so happens that they have a good relationship with Iran and Iraq.

So far, the military observers have not encountered any difficulties.
