Chapter Fifty-Two: It Should Be Like the "Olympic Bid" - Boost Morale!
On a small road outside Moscow.
The residence of the Eastern Great Power delegation.
Just out of the banquet hosted by the high-ranking Russian officers, Zhu Rui Lin, whose face was slightly flushed, proudly reported, "Master, how is it? Didn't let you down, did I?"
"Who's your Master? Don't call me that."
"But the performance just now was indeed good, I underestimated you before."
Chen Jin Chao looked at Zhu Rui Lin with some surprise and gave him rare praise.
It was because, at the banquet of the old Russian high-ranking officers just now, Zhu Rui Lin had single-handedly downed a table of Russians who were prepared to drink.
This drinking capacity, he really didn't see it before.
It could be considered as bringing glory to the nation.
After all, this was not only a 'traditional' event between the Eastern Great Power and the Great Bear, but also a hidden rivalry in the international tank competition before it even began.
Speaking of drinking.
Once, when the Eastern Great Power wanted to buy the Assian 27 Ye fighter jet, there was an interesting story.
The Assian sent a delegation of 17 people, intending to use their drinking capacity to challenge General Lin, who went to purchase the jets.
However, General Lin brought with him a 'drinking commander', who single-handedly downed all 17 Russians!
No mistake,
One person downed seventeen!
You know, at that time, the Assian drinking table negotiations were known for drinking down people from different countries.
An official from the A country died from alcohol poisoning.
So,
Whether it was pure vodka, or vodka mixed with beer.
Whether it was a fighting drink or a literary drink.
The mysterious 'drinking commander' from the slender Eastern Great Power, drinking down the entire Assian delegation, made the entire Assian delegation cry.
It was through this that the Eastern Great Power got their advanced fighter jets and production lines.
Maybe it's a tradition that has been passed down from then,
Whenever there is communication between the Eastern Great Power and the Great Bear, the drinking table competition is inevitable.
In the past, Assian aid, the wine was good wine.
Breaking up after the honeymoon period, the wine had a little extra taste.
"That's right, those old Russians' drinking capacity, I can down another table!"
"Master, let me tell you, since I was young, I secretly drank my grandpa's wine, and my dad didn't know how many times he beat me for it."
But once the proud Zhu Rui Lin was praised, he would fly to the sky.
Seeing that Chen Jin Chao didn't reply, he was still not satisfied.
"Master, why aren't you excited about us bringing glory to the nation, participating in the International Tank competition?"
Chen Jin Chao glanced at Zhu Rui Lin, letting him know what it meant to be "there are people better than you, there are heavens beyond heaven."
"A competition that is sure to win, what suspense can there be?"
"What's there to be excited about?"
"When I shook hands with Colonel Andreiyev just now, I knew he had lost."
......
Damn!
The extremely confident Chen Jin Chao put on a show of "showing off" as a textbook.
Master, truly is a Master.
Watching Chen Jin Chao go into the room to rest, Zhu Rui Lin, who followed behind, was still frowning, savoring these words.
Suddenly, he felt that he understood.
And after a night of peaceful sleep, the next day, the Great Bear's hasty first International Tank competition was held as scheduled.
The countries that finally decided to participate were the Great Bear, the Eastern Great Power, India, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Armenia.
Except for the Eastern Great Power and India, the other countries all had close ties with the Great Bear.
Before the collapse of Assian, they were all one family.
With this kind of relationship, needless to say, the old Bear was the absolute leader.
Taking advantage of the momentum, how could he not show off his powerful military strength?
So, during the public target shooting performance before the competition began, the Great Bear sent out its most advanced T80 tank to date, showcasing its latest depleted uranium armor-piercing ammunition.
However, what was unexpected was that the T80 tank, equipped with the latest thermal imager and white light aiming fire control system, actually overturned.
Six T80U tanks, seven shots in a row, six rounds missed the target.
The claimed 90% hit rate, either landed beside the target, or behind the target.
This reminded everyone in attendance of the scene during the Gulf War when the Iraqi tank forces counterattacked the multinational forces, the last shot, finally aiming at the target, but because of a ricochet, it went straight into the sky.
Was this a demonstration of the ammunition's excellent performance and the tank's fire control performance?
Wasn't it a promotion of the tank's integrated interference system?
"That... uhm, well, the competition begins."
The old Bear, having lost face, announced the beginning of the competition as if nothing had happened.
"No way?"
"After the disintegration of Assian, is the old Bear's military industry level so weak?"
"Could there be a trick to it?"
"Deliberately showing weakness..."
The Eastern Great Power delegation was conducting the final inspection of the tank's condition, preparing for the competition.
Zhu Rui Lin muttered to himself.
For a moment, the filter in his mind that had always viewed the Great Bear as powerful, almost shattered.
"Don't talk nonsense, go stand to the side."
The competition was about to begin, and Chen Jin Chao was also busy with the last preparations for the C-style.
Strategically despise the enemy, but tactically pay attention.
This mission was to "kill" the old Bear.
The military commission's chief's note to Chen Jin Chao was written: "It should be like the Olympic bid success, boost morale!"
Indeed, in an era where there is a lack of confidence, and national confidence is still weak, a good result is undoubtedly a great encouragement.
As for India?
They were willing to participate, simply because they saw the Eastern Great Power participating.
They love to benchmark against the Eastern Great Power.
Whether there are advanced tanks or not, that doesn't matter.
Just say they participated or not!
