A doctor who travels through two eras

Huang Jinpeng works for a military-industrial enterprise and has a deep understanding of weaponry, so he smiled and said:

"This has always been the case in Baotou. They consider it their advantage, as they can purchase advanced weapons from all over the world. For example, fighter jets—American, European, and Russian models are all available."

But they don't realize that being a jack-of-all-trades means being a master of none.

They are currently holding the mindset that it's better to buy than to make it themselves, and they will definitely suffer a great loss in the end. We have learned this lesson from the chip industry.

Furthermore, setting aside the additional expenses for subsequent maintenance, just considering the war itself, with all sorts of aircraft, the commander simply doesn't know which aircraft has which special features or what performance characteristics it can counter against enemy aircraft.

The consequence of this in warfare would be that Soviet, American, and European aircraft would operate independently, each fighting its own battle, resulting in a disastrous outcome where they would be defeated one by one by the enemy.

Lin Sanqi's original idea was to have a wide variety of weapons, preferably everything, so that he would have confidence.

Now, after Huang Jinpeng's explanation, they were immediately taken aback:
"Chairman Huang, do you mean that weapons should ideally be based on a single system from the beginning? The more systems there are, the more it affects their effectiveness?"

Zhao Pingzhi's eyes darted around, and he immediately realized the hidden meaning in his old classmate's words, so he replied:
"Yes, it's best if the weapons come from the same country. We should never hold a world's fair."

To give a simple example, take the Middle East. Israel actually uses American weapons. Even their self-developed weapons are compatible with American weapons, or they are simply jointly developed by the two countries.

On the other hand, the opposite examples are Persia and Saudi Arabia. Persia's current weapons are actually a combination of American weapons inherited from history, Soviet weapons that were introduced later, and Chinese weapons that were recently introduced.

But Mr. Lin, you see, this country either doesn't fight, or if it is disturbed, they will definitely lose.

Because their troops themselves do not understand the performance of the weapons, they are completely unable to leverage the advantages of each weapon system.

Similarly, there's Saudi Arabia, this big dog that buys weapons all over the world; it wants everything that has good stuff.

If Persia can still be called a mini-hegemon of the Middle East, then Mr. Lin, do you think Saudi Arabia's armed forces are strong?

Lin Sanqi nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and said:

“That makes sense. No wonder Persia has never won a war in recent years; all they've got left is empty talk. It seems we still need to buy weapons from the same country.”

Zhao Pingzhi, Huang Jinpeng, and He Chenggong exchanged glances, all sharing a tacit understanding.

They said these things hoping that Lin Sanqi would buy all Chinese-made weapons in the future, so that they could promote them more and continue to get large orders.

Otherwise, given Lingnan Hall's influence in Madagascar, it could easily have purchased from the United States, Europe, or even the paper tiger Russia.

Russia, in particular, is a country that will sell you almost anything for a price; you can have any weapon you want.

If you can cultivate a good relationship with their high-ranking military officers in private, they'll even sell "Miss Qiu"—the Soviets have a history of doing this.

Seeing Lin Sanqi's expression, Zhao Pingzhi continued his sales pitch:
"Chairman Lin, having only the Type 191 rifle isn't enough. Our Oriental Ordnance Group has many more weapons. Take a look at this one, the Type 192 short assault rifle, which is a shortened version of the Type 191."

Both have the same structure, except that the Model 192 has a slightly shorter barrel. Both fire the 5.8×42mm DBP191 rifle cartridge and are fed by a universal 30-round plastic magazine. This model is particularly suitable for special operations forces.

If you are planning to fight in high-altitude areas, and if you want to launch a surprise attack or cut off the enemy's supply lines, this .192 short rifle is the best choice. It is easy to carry and its combat effectiveness is by no means weak.

If you have a rifle, you'll also need a sniper rifle, right? Take a look at this QBU-201 sniper rifle, a large-caliber, high-precision sniper rifle that my country has developed in recent years.

QBU-201发射的是12.7×108毫米DBT10式狙击弹药，配备5发可拆卸式弹匣供弹，采用旋转后拉式枪机，有效射程大约在1500米左右。

Furthermore, the top of the rifle has a rail, allowing users to change to different types of scopes to suit various combat needs.

Lin Sanqi thought about it and agreed. He had seen movies, and those snipers in the movies were incredibly skilled; one or two snipers could keep the enemy from moving.

If our snipers were lying on the snowy plateau with a white cloth covering them, who would be able to spot them?

Wouldn't that make every shot a hit? So sniper rifles are definitely needed. "Yes, Mr. Zhao is right, we need sniper rifles, the more the better."

Zhao Pingzhi hadn't expected Lin Sanqi to be so easy to talk to, so he intensified his sales efforts:

"And machine guns, large-scale battles definitely need machine guns, that's the real weapon of mass destruction."

The QJZ-171 heavy machine gun, for example, fires 12.7×108mm special machine gun ammunition, is equipped with a 60-round ammunition box, has a theoretical rate of fire of about 450 rounds per minute, and an effective range of 1500 meters.

It can be fired both horizontally and upwards, and the QJZ-171 is also very lightweight, with a total combat weight of only 34.4 kg. Without a tripod, the gun itself weighs only 17.8 kg. Furthermore, its small size makes it well-suited for mountain warfare.

Lin Sanqi nodded: "Buy!"

"If you have a machine gun, you need to pair it with a submachine gun, right? Our group's QCQ-171 submachine gun is also a newly launched model."

该枪的造型和结构类似德国的HK MP5，也是发射9×19毫米DAP92手枪弹，或者是西方的9×19毫米帕拉贝鲁姆手枪弹，配备30或50发弹匣供弹的。

With fully automatic fire, the theoretical rate of fire is approximately 800 rounds per minute, and the effective range is 200 meters. A single burst of that fire could completely catch the enemy off guard.

Lin Sanqi simply took the tablet, swiped it up and down, and asked:

"Mr. Zhao, you don't need to bother with the introduction. If you say too much, some readers will accuse us of padding the word count. Here's what we'll do: I want all the weapons on this tablet. I'll buy all the stock you have."

Lin Sanqi needs the goods immediately; she can't wait for slow production. She wants as much as she can get her hands on right now and to use them quickly.

Zhao Pingzhi's hands were trembling as he listened; this meant he was about to make a fortune, a huge fortune.

What kind of arms dealer opens their doors to clear out their stock? If he can't catch this once-in-a-century big spender, he might as well hand in his resignation tomorrow.

Despite his excitement, reason told him that this young boss still had untapped potential.

“Chairman Lin, now that you have weapons, it’s still far from enough. You need to know that the individual equipment for infantrymen is very advanced now. Look at those American soldiers on TV, they’re fully armed from head to toe.”

Lin Sanqi thought so too. The weapons were advanced, but in the harsh environment of the snowy plateau, weapons alone were far from enough.

"Mr. Zhao, what kind of equipment do you think I need to provide for individual soldiers?"

Knowing that Lin Sanqi was an amateur, Zhao Pingzhi quickly pulled out some more devices from the tablet:

"Chairman Lin, you see, the most basic individual soldier equipment consists of three items: a weapon, a helmet, and a body armor. In addition to these three basic items, the US military also has tactical gloves, backpacks, tactical boots, and other equipment."

"Bulletproof vests are easy to understand, but Mr. Lin, don't forget, there's another important part of a soldier's body that needs protection."

Lin Sanqi understood: "Head, one shot to the head."

Zhao Pingzhi slapped the armrest of the sofa and said:

"That's absolutely right. Modern protective helmets are an important piece of protective equipment for the military during wartime."

For example, our group produces the S92-A type aramid-reinforced composite all-non-metallic bulletproof helmet. This helmet is superior to the US military's PASGT helmet in terms of both weight and protective area.

Furthermore, the helmet is equipped with a microcomputer, laser sight, image intensifier, and infrared imaging multi-spectral sensors, enabling real-time monitoring of the battlefield environment and movements.

It can also input the collected battlefield information into the individual soldier's computer for processing in a timely manner, make judgments on hundreds of targets on the battlefield, and provide reference for individual soldier operations.

It perfectly solves the compatibility issue between helmets and equipment such as gas masks and radio headsets, improving the stability and comfort of wearing the helmet. It offers excellent ballistic protection and a good performance-to-price ratio. (End of Chapter)
