Arriving at the Barren Land of Retired and Scrapped Tanks

Chapter 42: Arriving at the Wasteland of Retired and Scrapped Tanks

"Kovalevitch, your country's heavy industry and military industry are truly amazing! They're simply the world's best! Even Eagle Country can't compare!"

Lin Chenran said excitedly, unable to help but extend both hands and give Kovalevitch a thumbs-up to show his admiration.

Kovalevitch felt a surge of pride listening to Lin Chenran praise his country.

He felt an immense sense of pride being recognized by someone from Yan Country.

Kovalevitch was especially delighted when Lin Chenran pointed out that Bear Country was stronger than Eagle Country.

This showed that in the eyes of Yan Country people, his country was even more powerful than Eagle Country.

Kovalevitch: "Even Yan Country people think Bear Country is stronger than Eagle Country."

To Kovalevitch, this feeling was like tasting the sweetest honey, making him feel incredibly pleased.

Why was Lin Chenran praising Bear Country so wildly?

If you don't understand, you don't understand!

This is the so-called art of language.

There might be unexpected gains later on!

Anyway, praising Bear Country cost Lin Chenran nothing.

Even if he went to Eagle Country later, Lin Chenran could say that Eagle Country was stronger than Bear Country.

Speak according to the person you're talking to!

After hearing Lin Chenran praise the power of Mao Xiong Country, Kovalevitch's entire attitude changed dramatically.

His enthusiasm for Lin Chenran grew even more!

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye as the Mi-26 helicopter landed at the site of retired and scrapped vehicles.

Lin Chenran and the others then boarded the Mi-26 helicopter.

As soon as they sat down, Lin Chenran and He Yi began to examine the Mi-26 helicopter.

The Mi-26 helicopter truly lived up to its reputation as the world's largest helicopter.

The interior space was incredibly spacious!

This design allowed the Mi-26 to transport a large amount of supplies and personnel, providing efficient support services for the military.

"Kovalevitch, the Mi-26 helicopter is truly powerful! Its engines are very strong."

This wasn't Lin Chenran deliberately praising Mao Xiong's Mi-26 helicopter.

The Mi-26 helicopter was indeed powerful.

Even in the 21st century, the Mi-26 helicopter remained the largest helicopter.

"Lin, it recently entered service with our Far East Fleet. Its power and combat capabilities are formidable!"

Kovalevitch was also very satisfied with the Mi-26 helicopter.

The Far East Fleet cherished it like a treasure.

There was no other choice, as due to production issues and its high cost, Mao Xiong's Far East Fleet could only be equipped with two squadrons.

Kovalevitch attached great importance to Lin Chenran, a major client, and specifically arranged an Mi-26 helicopter to transport the three of them to the place where tanks were retired and scrapped.

This not only showed how much importance he placed on Lin Chenran but also allowed him to display his "muscle" in front of him.

Letting the other party understand that his strength should not be underestimated.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had gone by.

The Mi-26 helicopter finally arrived at its destination – the site of retired and scrapped tanks.

As the Mi-26 helicopter landed at the site of retired and scrapped tanks, Lin Chenran looked out the window and saw a desolate landscape.

The place looked bleak, overgrown with weeds, and piled high with abandoned tanks, giving a sense of desolation.

Under the command of the ground crew, the Mi-26 helicopter slowly descended. The huge rotors gradually stopped spinning, and the fuselage stabilized. Lin Chenran felt a strong vibration, and then the cabin door opened.

Mao Xiong's soldiers quickly moved to escort Lin Chenran and the others out of the cabin, ensuring their safety.

Lin Chenran, meanwhile, looked around curiously, full of anticipation for everything before him.

Not far from the Mi-26 helicopter, the person in charge of this tank scrapping site had been waiting for a long time.

He was dressed in a neat military uniform, his expression serious, and his gaze focused.

When he saw Kovalevitch step off the plane, he immediately went to greet him.

"Officer!" the person in charge of the scrapping site (a Lieutenant) saluted Kovalevitch respectfully.

Kovalevitch returned the salute with the same solemn posture, showing respect.

The person in charge of the tank retirement and scrapping site heard the report from the communications soldier below that the Deputy Chief of Naval Staff, Kovalevitch, was coming to inspect.

At first, he found it hard to believe.

He suspected it was just a prank by a signalman.

Why would a Major General personally come to this desolate, unremarkable place where tanks were retired and scrapped?

After repeated verification, he finally confirmed the fact that Kovalevitch was coming.

He couldn't help but feel curious about Kovalevitch's sudden visit: what reason could have brought this high-ranking general to this perpetually barren land?

Without delay, the person in charge quickly left the tavern and headed to the helipad to welcome Kovalevitch's arrival.

"Lieutenant Alexander, please take us to the warehouse for the recently scrapped and retired tanks."

Kovalevitch said softly.

"Yes, Officer, please get in the car!"

Although Alexander was puzzled, he still had everyone get into the jeep first.

There was still some distance from the airfield to the nearest point.

So they needed to take a jeep.

"Lin, let's go!"

Including Alexander, it was exactly four people in one car. (Alexander was the driver.)

"Alexander, this is Lin from Yan Country. You'll be interacting with each other often from now on."

Kovalevitch introduced Lin Chenran to Alexander, letting them get to know each other.

"Hello, Lieutenant Alexander!"

"Comrade, hello!"

Lin Chenran and Alexander greeted each other.

Kovalevitch didn't mind making Alexander one of his confidants.

After all, cooperating with Lin Chenran required more "downline" contacts.

Kovalevitch could offer Alexander a better future and also make a lot of money together with him.

Soon, the four arrived at a huge warehouse in the jeep.

Inside were tanks that had just been retired and scrapped.

"Respected Officer Kovalevitch, Lin, this is the warehouse where our retired and scrapped tanks are stored in this barren land."

Alexander introduced them to Lin Chenran.

Lin Chenran looked at the tanks piled up in front of him and showed a look of surprise.

"Wow!"

There were all sorts of tanks inside: T-54, T-64, T-72, and so on.

"Alexander, are there any tanks here with intact chassis and functional power systems?"

"Because we're doing civilian engineering vehicles, we only need a complete chassis and power system."

Lin Chenran stated his requirements.

Alexander didn't answer but turned to look at Kovalevitch beside him.

Kovalevitch winked and nodded.

After receiving the "approved" command from Alexander, he led the group to the recently delivered scrapped and retired tanks.

He calmly pointed forward and said, "These are the recently delivered retired and scrapped tanks. The power systems are still in relatively good condition."
