Isn't it easy to get heavy weapons? You can just get something out of the reserve warehouse. They are all big guys with tonnage, tanks, armored vehicles, heavy artillery, armed helicopters... You can have whatever you want. Colonel Duroshev took a cigarette in his mouth, took a sniff, and said with a smile.
For some historical reasons, the Far East Military Region was once a strategic frontier. Since the Zhenbao Island incident in the late 1960s, the relations between China and the Soviet Union have deteriorated rapidly. The Soviet army has deployed millions of troops, tanks, armored vehicles and amazing number of nuclear warheads in the Far East, ready to launch a full-scale war at any time.
Later, the international situation changed, and the top leaders of China and the Soviet Union also maintained calmness and restraint. Thirty years have passed and the war has never happened.
However, many of the weapons and equipment produced for this war are still stored in military warehouses in various Far East. Although most of the weapons are products from the 1960s and 1970s, they do not affect their use.
Lieutenant Colonel Vasily had a bit of rational mind. He hesitated and said: Mr. Paul, isn’t it a bit too risky to do this? After the business is completed, these goods still have to be shipped back. During the transportation from Russia to Brazil, it is necessary to cross the entire Pacific Ocean. It is difficult for these big guys to hide from Interpol's eyes.
You are right, it is indeed difficult for those big guys to avoid other people's sight. But I heard that there are many masters of modified weapons in the Soviet army. We can find ways to move and use a trick to hide the truth. Li Zai'an nodded and remembered a movie he had watched in his previous life. "The King of War" starring Nicholas Cage, which contains various means of the Soviet army smuggling and smuggling arms.
After hearing this, Duroshev grinned and laughed: "Talking the truth? Haha, Mr. Paul is indeed an expert. Are you interested in going to the technical maintenance library with me? Let you see what my brothers under me have to do.
After saying that, Duroshev reached out and pushed the books aside and said: As for these things, I don’t think there is any need to read them anymore. After all, the account list is made by people. There is no fundamental difference between one piece or one hundred pieces on the book.
When Li Zaian heard the other party say this, he was immediately happy. The account list of the reserve warehouse has become something that there is no need to look at. What does that mean?
Obviously, this Colonel Duroshev has completely bitten his hook
Duroshev's mind is now full of the 200,000 US dollars. He squatted the cigarette butts into the ashtray in front of the table, stood up from the sofa, and then walked towards the telephone table in the corner of the living room, saying: The technical maintenance database is not far from here, only five or six hundred meters away. I'll find the manpower first, and we'll walk over later.
After dialing the phone, Duroshev couldn't wait to issue an order: Hello, is it Ivanovich of the mechanic platoon? I am Duroshev, you immediately ordered everyone to gather, everyone went to the technical maintenance library to stand by, and then drove a Gas 66 truck and a large tractor over.
A distance of hundreds of meters, only a few minutes to walk
The so-called technical maintenance library of the Russian army is actually a repair workshop. After some reconstruction of the three large warehouses, they become the so-called technical maintenance library.
This maintenance library does not look advanced, but there are many weapons and equipment around it
I saw that around this warehouse, which covers an area of only a thousand square meters, there were more than twenty various types of combat vehicles and self-propelled artillery docking scattered.
However, the appearance of these weapons does not look good, and some of the bodies of the vehicles have been rusted and holes have been rusted.
When they arrived at the maintenance warehouse, there were more than 30 tall soldiers standing in a row, waiting quietly at the entrance of the maintenance warehouse.
Duroshev clapped his hands and shouted: You guys are here, don't worry if you have work today, you won't let you work in vain. The benefits are indispensable. Each person can get two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of vodka.
The soldiers all looked at him silently, and no one answered his words
Duroshev pointed to a rocket launcher and a tank in the warehouse and said: You convert this BM-21 rocket launcher into a Gas 66 truck, and then convert this T-72 tank into a large tractor. Remember, the appearance is a bit decent.
Seeing the soldiers still standing there, Duroshev yelled loudly: Why are you still standing there? Everyone is cheering up to work! I warn you that if you can't complete the task for an hour and a half, everyone will be banned from drinking for a month!
The soldiers of the mechanic repair platoon immediately scattered and rushed into the maintenance warehouse quickly. In a short while, a large number of equipment were moved out of the warehouse by them.
These soldiers were all well-trained mechanical engineers. They started construction in two groups, one group was modified from the BM-21 rocket launcher, and the other group was modified from the T-72 tank.
The group of people assigned to the rocket launcher, some of them dismantled the BM-21 rocket launcher, and some of them dismantled the original Gas 66 truck
Several soldiers dragged the heavy steel cable and hung it on the artillery brake disc at the rear of the cannon truck. With their skillful operation, in just over a dozen minutes, the forty-plural rocket artillery mount was completely removed.
A series of rocket launcher components, including brake disc, breech boosting structure, rotary bracket, fire removal device, etc., were all removed and placed scattered all over the floor.
After removing these parts, the rocket launcher, which was originally full of gun barrels, looked like a somewhat deformed Gas Truck.
What is slightly different from ordinary Gas trucks is that it does not have the strand of trailer cross panels behind it. From the outside, it looks a bit like a container truck without containers.
The soldiers who dismantled the Gas 66 truck removed the entire rear bucket of the truck, and cut all the buckets into four-sided baffles and a huge steel plate bottom bracket.
Soon, a dramatic scene gradually appeared in front of the guests. Forty long rocket guide tubes were disassembled one by one, sixteen of which were combined with two original fixed metal strips of the rocket launcher in a flat manner to form a flat plate made of a circular tube.
Below the flat plate is the bottom bracket composed of brake disc screwing, and the entire flat plate is covered with a thin layer of iron.
Then, the frames of the other three sides of the car box were also cut and simply welded to the external iron sheet of this flat plate. In this way, a brand new but slightly simple car box appeared.
The rotating bracket is hidden above the spare tire and becomes a run-in between the vehicle body and the spare tire. The square fire removal device is disguised as a spare fuel tank. The breeze booster mechanism is small in size and can be hidden everywhere. Most of the remaining twenty guide tubes are disguised as a canopy bracket, and a few three or four are fixed under the car. At first glance, it looks like a high-powered towing rod.
The group of people responsible for modifying the T-72 tank used the crane equipment in the warehouse to remove the obvious parts one by one.
They first removed the barrel of the 125mm smoothbore tank gun, and then hung the cast turret of the tank vehicle with a steel cable on the crane
Finally, they also removed the reactive explosion armor installed on the vehicle body, leaving only one base in the entire tank.
After dismantling the tank, they began to deal with the large agricultural crawler tractor. This crawler tractor has a truck-style cab, a truck-style engine cover, and a truck-style cargo compartment... They removed all these parts and installed them on the chassis of the T-72 tank.
If you only look at the upper part of the tractor, this thing is almost no different from the old Gas Truck, Li Zaian turned his head in confusion and asked the people around him.
Keliya explained softly: Yes, they are indeed very similar, because this tractor was produced by Gas Factory. This tractor is an old model and has long been eliminated. It is said that in order to save trouble, the designers of that year directly used the parts and chassis of the T-40 tank to make the tractor.
In just over an hour, dozens of soldiers from the mechanic repair platoon completed this seemingly incomplete task.
For the sake of reality, after completing the basic assembly work, they also sprayed the car body briefly. After this work was completed, what appeared in front of everyone again was an ordinary military truck that looked almost no different from the Gas 66, and a large agricultural crawler tractor that looked very ordinary.
After the soldiers finished the work, Li Zaian walked to the truck and tractor, reached out to touch the body of the car that had just sprayed a layer of dark green paint, and asked: Can these things be driven?
Haha, this is not a problem, it is not a problem to open, but it is impossible for you to pass the customs inspection. Duroshev curled his lips and replied, this thing must be serious and overweight! As long as you pass the customs inspection station, the ground scales there will be immediately discovered problems. Fortunately, we have a military district approval note, so we don’t need to pass the customs inspection station.
Duroshev did not brag, and technically modified the equipment of large and medium-sized weapons, changed them, and then transported them away by cargo ship. This method is indeed feasible.
The soldiers of the mechanic repair platoon modified a 40th-Line BM-21 rocket launcher and a T-72 tank vehicle.
Moreover, this modification can be reversed, which means that they can change the modified things in a shorter time.
After adding this process, the safety of weapons transportation has been greatly improved.
They can use cargo ships to transport arms to Brazil and then modify them back
The cost of this process itself is minimal, but the profit it can bring is quite amazing.
And this scene will be reproduced countless times in the next ten years
During the Cold War, a large number of arms produced by the former Soviet Union deceived Interpol in the form of exporting civilian machinery and smuggled to Brazil.
For some historical reasons, the Far East Military Region was once a strategic frontier. Since the Zhenbao Island incident in the late 1960s, the relations between China and the Soviet Union have deteriorated rapidly.
