Reborn as a New Farmer of the 1980s

Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....

Chapter 1250: Skua and Bison

During the twenty days that Wan Feng was away, the two teams of Jiang Ming and Guo Wu delivered a large amount of supplies. All twenty-six warehouses in the base were full, and even one of the air-raid shelters in Xiaoyanshan was filled.

"Ah! Have all the air-raid shelters at Xiaoyan Mountain been restocked? I'm saving that for next spring to be filled with supplementary food. Who's keeping an eye on it?"

"They are Wang Zhonghai and Yang Pao's men. Our team is led by Han Meng and Zhao Gang."

"Han Meng! Are Zhao Gang and the others back?"

"Han Meng and Zhao Gang were the first to come back. He had been back for seven or eight days. Just as the warehouse here was fully unloaded, they went to Xiaoyan Mountain."

So Han Meng and Zhao Gang stayed at home for less than ten days before rushing back. What about Yang Jianguo?

"Where's Yang Jianguo?"

"Yang Jianguo has some matters to attend to and hasn't returned yet. Han Meng said he will definitely be back in the next two days." Although Wan Feng gave Zhang Zhiyuan a vacation, he didn't leave because he was worried and continued to stay here.

I am now explaining these things to Wan Feng.

"Has Zheng Song been here?"

“Never.”

This bastard forgot about his cousin after he got a wife. Damn, he is the only real relative among the people here. This relative is not even as good as someone with a different surname.

This guy is still a little short of understanding human nature. It seems he needs some reformation.

"Has Comrade Wang Jiang and Tang San returned?"

"I'm not sure about that. I haven't seen them here, so I don't know if they've gone to Sijitun."

Wan Feng walked out of the base and came to the riverside, standing by the river and looking at the river surface.

In addition to the Soviet people climbing the island, there were also several empty trucks running back and forth on the river between Daheihe Island and the Soviet Union.

It's obvious that those idiots from the Soviet Union are testing the bearing capacity of the ice. It seems that the people on the Soviet side are more eager to make a deal than the Chinese side.

Unfortunately, the surface of the Heilongjiang River is not flat after it is frozen. There are uneven ice blocks everywhere on the river. Otherwise, the Soviet Union has hovercraft, and now they can use hovercraft to trade.

hovercraft!

Now that he thought of the hovercraft, Wan Feng began to recall the articles about hovercraft he had read on the military website.

The world's first hovercraft was designed by the Soviets. Unfortunately, due to the outbreak of World War II, it remained on paper forever, and the Chinese took the lead.

The hovercraft invented by the British crossed the English Channel in just two hours.

The Americans discovered the military value of hovercraft, began to develop it and put it into use in the South China War.

Of course, the Soviets were not willing to lag behind and began researching hovercraft in the 1960s and developed the Stork hovercraft.

At the end of 1970, the Warsaw Pact began landing exercises, and NATO watched the entire landing exercise as a specially invited observer.

NATO observers believed that the Soviet Union was imitating the Western landing method at the time, which was not very interesting, so they were all listless.

But when the landing began, NATO observers were surprised to find that what rushed to the beach with the Mi-8 helicopters were not traditional landing craft, but a group of monsters running at high speed. They rushed to the beach at a speed of about 50 knots and unloaded piles of armored vehicles.

This is the Stork hovercraft, which weighs 350 tons and can carry up to 74 tons of cargo.

It has a speed of 50 knots and a cruising range of 500 nautical miles. It can carry two main battle tanks, or four PT-76 amphibious tanks or BMP infantry fighting vehicles, and can accommodate a certain number of troops.

At the same time, it is also equipped with naval guns, which have powerful firepower for self-defense and can provide certain fire cover during landing operations.

This shocked the Westerners, as it meant that their coastlines were no longer safe, and the Soviet steel monsters could land from the sea at any time and pierce the enemy's heart.

More than a decade later, the Stork hovercraft began to decline, and the Soviets developed the Jaeger hovercraft.

The Jaeger hovercraft has a total weight of 535 tons and can carry a payload of 150 tons.

This can carry almost all the land combat equipment of the Soviet Navy: three main battle tanks or eight amphibious tanks or an equal number of BMP series infantry fighting vehicles, or 10 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.

Still in the nature of the Soviets, it is natural that it must be equipped with powerful firepower. Therefore, the Jaeger also has powerful firepower, which is simply a nightmare for NATO countries with long coastlines.

The construction of this hovercraft began in 1982, was completed in 1985, and was equipped to the Soviet army in 1988, but then the Soviet Union collapsed.

Its successor sold it to Hillary Clinton with great reluctance when he was poor, and it unexpectedly became a NATO weapon.

After the economic crisis broke out in Greece, one of the PIIGS countries, these hovercrafts have been grounded for many years.

Later, when China invested in Hilla, it discovered these four hovercrafts and spent money to buy them back to China.

But that was in 2016.

The NATO code name for the Jaeger hovercraft is Bison. After China purchased it and thoroughly understood it, it began large-scale production in preparation for the liberation of a certain island.

The reason why Wan Feng recalled the article about hovercraft that he had seen on the military website in his previous life was because he felt that the Chinese army would definitely need this thing.

Even though we don’t need the equipment right now, there is absolutely no problem in making technical reserves.

It would take several months for the Soviet army to be equipped with the vehicle. If the Chinese military could get one by the time the Soviet army was equipped with the vehicle, Wan Feng believed that he could win the first-class military medal.

Judging from the nature of the Chinese people, if they get it now, they might be able to modify it into some astonishing monster in the future.

There is no rush for this for now. The Soviet Union has not equipped it yet and we cannot get it even if we want to.

The main issue now is the D36 engine. What we need to worry about is whether that bastard Dimitri will stand us up.

Wan Feng was a little anxiously waiting for the river surface to be able to bear heavy trucks so that he could start trading.

Shouldn't Shabilov come over?

Wan Feng felt as if he had special abilities. While he was thinking about Shabilov, this silly nose appeared in his sight.

Wan Feng was overjoyed.

Shabilov was also extremely excited when he saw Wan Feng. He strode over and gave him a bear hug.

"Oh my god! Damn it, Shabilov, did you brush your teeth before you put your mouth on my face?"

Wan Feng wiped his face hard which was bitten by Shabilov.

Shabilov didn't care at all: "Wan! I'm very happy to see you. Do you know what gift I prepared for you?"

"What gift?"

"My freight yard has prepared 20,000 tons of steel for you. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

This guy has learned a lot of Chinese language now, but he speaks it like singing.

"Twenty thousand tons!" This was more than just a surprise, it was a huge surprise.

Due to unstable production in the Soviet Union, the average daily amount of steel shipped to the Soviet Union, including the Bu City and Komsomolsk-on-Amur No. 4 plants, was only about 200 tons.

Even the output from the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Steel Plant No. 2 and No. 3, which is directly supplied to the military, would not exceed 500 tons a day.

In the next twenty days, Wanfeng expects to accumulate a remarkable 10,000 tons of steel.

But now Shabilov told him that he now has 20,000 tons!

Where did those 10,000 tons of steel come from?
