"Kovalevitch, your country's heavy industry and military industry are incredible! They're simply the best in the world! Even Eagle Country can't compare!"
Lin Chenran said excitedly, unable to stop himself from giving Kovalevitch two thumbs-up in praise.
Hearing Lin Chenran praise his country, Kovalevitch's heart filled with pride.
He felt that receiving recognition for his country from someone from Flame Nation was an incomparable honor.
Especially when Lin Chenran pointed out that Mao Xiong Country was stronger than Eagle Country, Kovalevitch was delighted.
This showed that, in the eyes of Flame Nation's people, his country was even more powerful than Eagle Country.
Kovalevitch thought, Even people from Flame Nation believe Mao Xiong Country is stronger than Eagle Country.
To Kovalevitch, the feeling was like tasting the sweetest honey, leaving his heart brimming with delight.
Why was Lin Chenran crazily praising Mao Xiong Country?
Then you didn't understand!
This was the art of language.
There might be unexpected gains later on!
In any case, praising Mao Xiong Country cost Lin Chenran nothing.
Even if he went to Eagle Country later, Lin Chenran could still say that Eagle Country was stronger than Mao Xiong Country.
Speak to people like people, and to ghosts like ghosts!
After hearing Lin Chenran praise Mao Xiong Country's strength, Kovalevitch's attitude changed dramatically once again.
He became even more enthusiastic toward Lin Chenran!
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the Mi-26 helicopter landed at the retirement and scrapyard.
Lin Chenran and the others then boarded the Mi-26 helicopter.
As soon as they sat down, Lin Chenran and He Yi began looking over the Mi-26 helicopter.
The Mi-26 helicopter truly deserved to be called the largest helicopter in the world.
Its interior was exceptionally spacious!
This design allowed the Mi-26 to transport large quantities of supplies and personnel, providing the military with efficient support.
"Kovalevitch, the Mi-26 helicopter is truly powerful! Its engines are incredibly strong."
This was not Lin Chenran deliberately praising Mao Xiong Country's Mi-26 helicopter.
The Mi-26 helicopter was genuinely powerful.
Even in the twenty-first century, the Mi-26 helicopter was still the largest helicopter.
"Lin, it only recently entered service with our Far East Fleet. Its power and combat capability are formidable!"
Kovalevitch was also very satisfied with the Mi-26 helicopter.
The Far East Fleet treasured it like a priceless gem.
There was no helping it. Due to production capacity issues and its high price, Mao Xiong Country's Far East Fleet could only equip two squadrons with them at present.
Kovalevitch attached great importance to Lin Chenran, this major client, so he had specifically arranged for a Mi-26 helicopter to carry the three of them to the place where tanks were retired and scrapped.
Not only did this demonstrate how much he valued Lin Chenran, it also allowed him to show off some of his "muscle."
It would make the other party understand that his strength was not to be underestimated.
Time passed quickly, and another two hours went by in a flash.
The Mi-26 helicopter finally reached its destination—the tank retirement and scrapyard.
As the Mi-26 helicopter descended at the tank retirement and scrapyard, Lin Chenran looked through the window and saw a desolate scene.
The place looked barren, overgrown with weeds, with discarded tanks piled up like mountains, creating a bleak atmosphere.
Under the commander's directions, the Mi-26 helicopter slowly descended. Its enormous rotor gradually stopped turning, and the fuselage stabilized. Lin Chenran felt a powerful jolt, and then the cabin door opened.
The Mao Xiong Country soldiers swiftly sprang into action, escorting Lin Chenran and the others out of the cabin to ensure their safety.
Lin Chenran, meanwhile, looked around curiously, filled with anticipation for everything before him.
Not far from the Mi-26 helicopter, the person in charge of this tank scrapyard had already been waiting for some time.
He wore a neat military uniform, his expression stern and his gaze focused.
The moment he saw Kovalevitch step off the helicopter, he immediately went forward to greet him.
"Sir!" The scrapyard's person in charge, a lieutenant, respectfully saluted Kovalevitch.
Kovalevitch returned the salute with equal solemnity, showing his respect.
The person in charge of the tank retirement and scrapyard had received a report from a communications soldier saying that the Navy's Deputy Chief of Staff—Kovalevitch—was coming to inspect the place.
At first, he found it hard to believe.
He suspected it was merely a prank by the communications soldier.
Why would a Major General personally come to such an uninhabited, inconspicuous tank retirement and scrapyard?
After repeatedly confirming the matter, he finally verified that Kovalevitch was indeed coming.
Kovalevitch's sudden visit made him deeply curious. What exactly had brought this senior officer to this barren place that was desolate all year round?
So, the person in charge hurriedly left the tavern and went to the helicopter landing area to welcome Kovalevitch.
"Lieutenant Alexander, please take us to the warehouse with the nearest batch of retired and scrapped tanks."
Kovalevitch spoke gently.
"Yes, sir. Please get in!"
Though Alexander was puzzled, he still had everyone get into the jeep first.
There was still some distance from the airfield to that nearby location.
So they needed to take the jeep.
"Lin, let's go!"
With Alexander included, there were exactly four people in one vehicle. Alexander drove.
"Alexander, this is Lin from Flame Nation. You'll be seeing each other often in the future."
Kovalevitch introduced Lin Chenran to Alexander, allowing the two to get acquainted.
"Hello, Lieutenant Alexander!"
"Hello, comrade!"
Lin Chenran and Alexander exchanged greetings.
Kovalevitch did not mind making Alexander one of his trusted subordinates.
After all, cooperating with Lin Chenran required more "subordinates."
Kovalevitch could give Alexander better prospects and bring him along to make a fortune.
Before long, the four of them arrived by jeep at an enormous warehouse.
Inside were tanks that had just been retired and scrapped.
"Respected Officer Kovalevitch, Lin, this is the warehouse in our tank retirement and scrapyard where we store tanks that have just been retired and scrapped."
Alexander introduced the place to Lin Chenran and Kovalevitch.
Looking at the tanks piled before him, Lin Chenran showed a look of surprise.
"Wow!"
There were all kinds of tanks inside: T-54s, T-64s, T-72s, and so on.
"Alexander, are there any tanks here with intact chassis and power systems?"
"Since we make civilian engineering vehicles, we only need the chassis and power systems to be intact."
Lin Chenran voiced his request.
Alexander did not answer. Instead, he turned to look at Kovalevitch beside him.
Kovalevitch gave him a meaningful look and nodded.
After receiving permission, Alexander led everyone to the retired and scrapped tanks that had just been delivered.
Then he calmly pointed ahead and said, "These are the retired and scrapped tanks that were just delivered. Their power systems are still in fairly good condition."
