Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 527 Type 96 Main Battle Tank
He said he wanted to give the principal a brigade's worth of equipment, and that's exactly what Ximen Lang wanted to do.

However, this brigade was not equipped with the top-tier heavy combined arms brigade of later generations. It was much weaker than a heavy combined arms brigade, but it was still able to crush ordinary heavy combined arms brigades, even elite troops, by a precipitous margin with its various advantages.

"After all, as you know, the top-tier heavy combined arms brigades are expensive, extremely dependent on supporting infrastructure, and often involve our core secrets."

"Let alone the two reasons that were so deadly, even the first one is not something I can easily handle. So, let's just put a regular heavy brigade that would only be considered first-rate in our area, but would be absolutely top-tier in ours."

"Not only is this cheap to use, but it also holds its own here. It's a perfect example of getting more for the same price. It's really perfect for the current situation, it couldn't be more suitable."

Isn't that perfectly suited to the current world of Beijing?
It is cheap and practical, and does not require a high level of industrial base or technological level.

It can be said that you can use it as soon as you take it, and you will become stronger after using it.

It's practically tailor-made for the world of Beijing. If this isn't suitable, then what is?
To what extent is it appropriate?
It was so perfect that even the principal couldn't bring himself to refuse!

Originally, the principal wanted to be reserved and decline, and say something.
“As an elder, how can I accept things from the younger generation? It’s inappropriate, inappropriate! Besides, I’ve already retired to the second line and am now teaching. Even if you gave them to me, I wouldn’t need them.”

But when Ximen Lang mentioned a heavy armored brigade, he was shocked to learn that it was a top-tier heavy armored brigade that could easily defeat at least 95% of countries or regions even in later generations!

I just can't bring myself to say no.

It was almost on the tip of his tongue, but the principal swallowed it back down.

He then changed his tune.

"How could I possibly accept this? How could I possibly accept this!"

Even the principal was somewhat at a loss, which shows just how powerful Simon Lang's influence was.

Even Bai Ling, who had become accustomed to Ximen Lang's extravagant spending habits after hearing about him, was stunned by his huge generosity and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

After he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him, and they all looked somewhat dazed.

Ximen Lang simply couldn't change his ways and started pretending.

"I'm a rich man, is that hard for you to understand or accept? I've told you so many times that I'm a rich man, and a super rich man. I have money and connections, so why are you making such a fuss?"

"It's just the equipment of a mere heavy brigade, and you're making such a fuss. What if I told you that besides these, I'm also planning to sell you all the weapons and equipment you've never even seen before at a shockingly low price, an incredibly affordable price? Wouldn't you be so happy you'd have a heart attack?"

Just in time, after driving for half a day, the new warehouse has arrived.

"No problem, here's the actual product instead of just a link! Let's go, everyone!"

After saying that, to Bai Ling and Lao Luo's bewilderment, which seemed to indicate something was amiss, Ximen Lang waved his hand and led the way into the warehouse, which was practically overflowing with weapons and equipment.

Pointing to the lead and most eye-catching Type 96 main battle tank, Ximen Lang introduced, "See this big guy? Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just a second-generation tank and doesn't seem very advanced. It depends on what you compare it to. Compared to the third-generation Type 99A main battle tank, it definitely can't compare."

"But if we compare it to tanks of the same level, or even tanks of the same era, it would absolutely crush these flashy, cheap junk!"

"How about 59? Pretty impressive, right? But compared to him, that's just a little brother, and can only be a little brother. There's no comparison at all!"

"Not only is its firepower stronger, but it is also equipped with a larger, thicker, and more powerful 125mm smoothbore gun, which is superior to the 100mm rifled gun of the Type 59 in all aspects."

"In terms of protection, because it uses new composite armor, and some models are even equipped with reaction devices, it is far ahead and can beat the Type 59 to a pulp!"

"What's the key? The key is that while maintaining powerful firepower and excellent defensive capabilities, its mobility is also quite good!"

"As a top-of-the-line heavy tank, the Type 59 can travel 50 kilometers per hour, and even in off-road conditions, it can still travel 20 to 25 kilometers per hour. Isn't that fast?"

"But this behemoth is not only heavier than the Type 59, but its performance figures are also significantly higher! The Type 96B tank can even reach 71 kilometers per hour! Even in off-road conditions, it can maintain a perfect speed of 38 kilometers per hour!"

"Heavy tanks, folks, this is a real heavy tank. No, in our world, it's more like a super-heavy tank! And yet, this super-heavy tank can run this fast, faster than a light tank! Tell me, isn't that an exaggeration? It's simply outrageous!"

"If we add information warfare capabilities to that, there's simply no comparison! Let alone the current environment, even decades from now, most countries, including those old-school rogue states, won't be able to surpass it in information warfare capabilities when it comes to tanks! Do you believe me or not?!"

Of course, Lao Luo and Bai Ling believed it, and they believed it one hundred percent, one thousand percent!

After all, its name is the Type 96 main battle tank. According to convention, it was clearly finalized in 96 and then began production.

With the occasional improvements made later on, it's possible that it will be undergoing various maintenance and upgrades in the next world.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been used as a main battle tank by a heavy combined arms brigade, which is the main force among the main forces.

And now?

It was only 1955!
Good heavens, it's more than half a world away!

Won't it take decades to barely catch up?!
But that's the price.
"You know we don't have much money. Look at us now, we need to invest heavily in education and carry out large-scale construction projects, and money is needed everywhere!"

"Although we did make a lot of money and gain a lot of benefits through our mutual exchange, it's still not enough for him!"

"I even feel like this money is disappearing faster than before! The more you earn, the less money you have to spend. What kind of bullshit logic is that?"

Seeing that Lao Luo was genuinely puzzled as to why he was running out of money, Ximen Lang said speechlessly.

"Nonsense! You may be making more money, but your operations are also expanding too! Take the canal project, for example. Would you have dared to even consider it before? But look at us now, you just started it without hesitation!"
