Chapter 1048 Agricultural Products for Arms
Karimandu, train station.
Soldiers are getting on the train station and being transported to the defense line or the front line by train.
As the capital of Nepal, this is the political center of Nepal and also the cultural center.
Compared with peacetime, Kalimandu has a more solemn atmosphere at this time. Since the outbreak of the war, Kalimandu has faced two air strikes by the Indian Air Force. Although both were defeated, it also made Kalimandu nervous and had to conduct air defense drills from time to time.
At the train station, a train is arriving here, and the train has 50 carriages.
After the train arrived, the staff began to unload and constantly move things from the train. There are boxes here, some big and some small.
"Gurung, this is the list this time. After the inventory is completed, you have to sign it so that I can report it!" Yang Lin took out a list and handed it to a Nepalese officer in military uniform.
Gurung, a Nepalese officer with the rank of colonel, is responsible for handing over the arms list.
According to the rules, the list must be signed by the other party before it is completed.
The China-Nepal Railway is an extension of the Southern Tibet Railway. It uses the standard track of China, that is, the 1435mm standard gauge.
In Nepal, due to historical reasons, the railway rules are more complicated. There are both 1000mm meter gauge and 1676mm wide gauge. The 1676mm wide gauge is equipped with a 1000mm meter gauge. The meter gauge is used to connect with other regions, so there is no need for frequent replacement and reversing, and two specifications of locomotives and vehicles can be used.
Trains suitable for the 1435mm standard gauge naturally cannot run on the 1676mm wide gauge.
So the goods are transported to the Kalimandu Railway Station, and then transported to the front battlefield by the Kalimandu Railway Station as a transit station.
Gu Long smiled and said, "Yang Lin, why should I worry about your work?"
Gu Long said, picked up the pen and signed on the two lists respectively, one for each party.
Gurung went to Shijiazhuang for further studies for four years and was able to speak fluent Mandarin. This time he was appointed as the handover person at Kalimandu Railway Station.
Gurung took a look and saw 5 carriages of 78-type automatic rifles, with a total of 100,000 rifles; 6 carriages of 7.62×39 mm rifle bullets, with 20 million rounds; 1 carriage of 78-type general-purpose machine guns, with 30,000, and 3 carriages of corresponding bullets, with 10 million rounds; 1 carriage of 78-type heavy machine guns, with 2,000, and 6 carriages of corresponding heavy machine gun bullets, with 3 million rounds; 1 carriage of 78-type anti-aircraft machine guns, with 1,000, and 6 carriages of corresponding bullets, with 3 million rounds; 21 carriages of 63,000 boxes of wooden-handled grenades, with a total of 1.323 million pieces.
These are the arms in these 50 carriages.
Except for the wooden-handled grenades, the others are in service.
Before this, the firearms produced before 1978, including pistols, had been cleared out of stock.
This is still later, and a batch of 56 semi-automatic rifles were produced.
However, since 2000, 56 semi-automatic rifles have been no longer produced. At most, the Northern Ordnance Industry Corporation accepts orders from outside to produce.
As for the 78-type automatic rifle, these are all second-hand goods.
Since the decision to replace small-caliber automatic rifles, the troops have started to replace 00-type automatic rifles in batches since last year.
The 00-type automatic rifle has been in the project since 1982, and has been continuously improved. It was finally finalized in 2000. As for the finalization in 2000, it was naturally because the upper level decided to let the troops replace small-caliber rifles in 2000, so it was named 00-type automatic rifle.
After more than ten years of continuous testing and modification, the 00-type automatic rifle has excellent performance and is in a leading position in the world.
This time it can be regarded as accelerating the deployment of the 00-type automatic rifle.
As for wooden-handled grenades, more than 4 billion wooden-handled grenades were stored in total. After so many years of war use and foreign trade, there are still a large number of wooden-handled grenades. In more than 20 years, a quarter of wooden-handled grenades have been consumed in total, and this is still consumed in normal training.
Although wooden-handled grenades have some disadvantages, their advantages are also obvious, that is, they are cheap! Such a wooden-handled grenade only costs 50 yuan, which is still due to the price impact of a large number of grenades from polar bears.
In the case of half-selling and half-giving, this wooden-handled grenade now costs only 25 yuan, that is, these 1.325 million wooden-handled grenades only cost 33.125 million yuan.
Yang Lin put away the signed list. Yang Lin did not get on the train, but waited for the goods to be loaded.
If you come with a full car, you will naturally not return with an empty car, because the cost is too high.
Going back to carry the fruit, I saw boxes of fruit being carried into the car, including citrus and apples, in addition to mangoes, papayas, bananas, etc.
50 trains can carry about 3,000 tons of fruit back, worth about 10 million RMB.
What Nepal can exchange is agricultural products, fruits, poultry, etc.
When the goods are full, Yang Lin and Gu Long wave goodbye. It will take at least two or three days for Yang Lin to come again.
Liu Tao is in Beijing, constantly learning about intelligence from all sides.
At this time, Liu Tao feels that a storm is coming. Since George Walker took office, the style of the Eagle Sauce has changed immediately, becoming more tough, and more willing to use force to solve problems.
Unlike the previous eight years, when the U.S. military was suppressed, and everyone was mainly engaged in verbal battles, and finally resolved their differences through negotiations. No matter how fierce the verbal battles were, and no matter how harsh the words were, they were generally controllable, and it was nothing more than an exchange of interests.
China is the United States' largest trading partner, and the United States is also China's largest trading partner.
China's high-quality and low-priced goods allow the United States to suppress inflation.
And China makes money happily every year through export trade.
But as George Walker came to power and began to like to use military force, the meaning began to change. First, the huge military expenditure of 370 billion US dollars, the huge increase is really shocking, the US military expenditure is equal to the total military expenditure of the next 9 countries, much more.
Then there is the military aid of 13.5 billion US dollars to India, and then an interest-free loan of 8 billion US dollars.
Britain provided a military aid of 5 billion pounds and an interest-free loan of 2 billion pounds. If you say that there is no credit for the Americans, Liu Tao will not believe it even if he is beaten to death.
There are also other news that have been sent back one after another.
Liu Tao did not have a peaceful Spring Festival holiday.
China is celebrating the Spring Festival, but overseas is not.
In the world, energy prices and food prices have risen sharply, and gold prices have also risen sharply. Even the US military industry has ushered in a strong rise for many years.
All things related to war are rising.
And because it is a grain-producing area, it exports a large amount of grain to the world every year. Now that a war has broken out, it may not be able to export grain, but needs to buy grain from other places, which makes the price of grain rise. Many experts even say that the world will usher in a food crisis.
In Africa, the war is still burning, and batches of refugees want to leave for the paradise "Europe", but this road is destined to be full of ups and downs. Many people died of illness on this road, and some died in shipwrecks in the Mediterranean.
Millions of African refugees have entered Africa, and how to resettle the refugees has caused a lot of quarrels in Europe.
