Chapter 1585 Eat Too Much Kimchi

The biggest weakness of the K2 tank is its extremely bad action mechanism, especially the gearbox that is comparable to a classic car. Even if it is replaced with a tractor that pulls goods in the countryside, it is probably better than the K2. relaxing.

But Yang Cheng is also used to the characteristics of Bangguo who likes to avoid the important and ignore the trivial. Just look at their short track speed skating team. The most insidious team in the world with the most petty tricks is just being portrayed as a victim by their media. Instead, the honest and well-behaved National Z team has become a villain who does all kinds of evil.

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

Closer to home, the information searched by Google shows that the K2 "Black Panther" main battle tank is a new generation of main battle tanks jointly developed by the Korean Defense Science Research Institute (ADD), Hyundai Motor Group and other Korean defense industry companies. A large number of foreign and domestic technologies were mixed and developed, costing 230 million US dollars.

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

Yang Cheng squeezed her chin, she seemed to be doing well, at least at this price point, K2's superficial data is satisfactory.

But the gearbox is flawed. If a tank does not have a certain degree of maneuverability, what is it called a tank? That's the stationary cannon.

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

So far, production of the first batch of 100 K2 tanks began in 2011, and 13 of them were delivered for the first time in July 2014.

However, this tank with a combat weight of 55 tons is not equipped with the Korean-made power system previously advertised, but uses a German 1,500-horsepower common-rail diesel engine and a German Lenk company with 5 forward gears and 3 reverse gears. fully automatic gearbox.

It is this imported power system that ensures the smooth progress of the first mass production of the K2 main battle tank.

At this time, the problem of the gearbox has not been revealed. After all, except for the shell, it is basically made of German products. The rigor of the Germans is known all over the world.

However, using German products all the time is obviously not in line with the expectations of the stickmen who want to brag, so when the first batch of tanks were still in mass production, South Korea’s Lu Jun couldn’t wait to sign another contract worth 90 billion won (approx. 820 million US dollars) production contract for the production of the second batch of 100 K2 tanks.

At the signing ceremony of the contract, the manufacturer and Jun party vowed to use the Korean domestic power system.

This power system includes a new type of power component developed and produced by South Korea's Doosan Group, but if you don't know it, you will be shocked. Isn't this a copy of the German common rail diesel engine? It is also an 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 among 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 against the artillery of the K2 tank.

In addition, in order to match the engine, a gearbox that is 99% similar to the German product was installed, which is also a copy of the belt, and a forward gear was added on the basis of the original, which became 6 forward gears and 3 reverse gears, does it sound very advanced? Very awesome?

It is estimated that no one thought that it was precisely the problem with the awesome gearbox that they made up in a flash of brains. The reliability and durability of the transmission system had different sizes, which directly led to the second batch of K2 tanks. The mass production plan was forced to be postponed.

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. ,

Mass production can be further carried out, and it is expected that the mass production plan will be postponed for three years.

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

But even if the gearbox imported from abroad arrives, it can be assembled! The domestic production rate of this kind of K2 tank, which is boasted as a super tank, is less than 50%. No, no, it is exaggerated. It is definitely less than 40%, or even 30%. It was completely exposed, such a main battle tank, the number one in the universe, didn't even pass the concrete pier!

Are you so embarrassed to jump out and grab an order? It is definitely a strange thought that comes from eating too much kimchi and the brain is corroded by nitrite.

Still the same sentence, in the whole of South Korea, except for some beauties with relatively little plastic surgery who are still commendable, this country is a bug, the kind that doesn't make up for it.

Sneering, Yang Cheng said to the phone, "Are you still there?"

I just read the information and was silent for too long. I thought Layton had hung up the phone. I didn't expect the phone to show that he was always online, "Boss~"

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

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

"By the way, you can also contact me with the powerful people in the Oman government. If you want someone who can make a decision on the purchase order, you can invite him to come to the United States after the deal is made, or I can go there. In short, I want to talk to you He talked face to face."

Worried that Layton could not handle this matter well, Yang Cheng simply prepared to do it himself. After all, it was a big deal close to 1 billion US dollars, and Yang Cheng didn't feel ashamed.

"Good boss, but I suggest you come here in person, this will show our sincerity even more."

Yang Cheng smiled. This upright soldier has changed a lot in character. He would never be able to say such things before.

"Okay, listen to you, I will let the crew contact the flight to Oman now."

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

Hang up the phone, press the pager to let Su Su 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 should go with Jun Yu, and see and see the Arab world, it's time to see the world."

Susu was naturally pleasantly surprised when she heard the words. It was better to go out and run around the world with Yang Cheng than to stay in the office staring at the computer in a daze, "Yes, I'll go right away."

This girl is getting more and more mature, and it is rare to show the side of a little girl who is escaping. Yang Cheng felt his eyes light up when she saw it, "Don't be embarrassing, I will give you time to go home and pack your luggage. Remember to bring conservative clothes. The world can't be too revealing."

Susu stuck out her tongue, "I know, then I'll go."
