Xue Ding heard this and decided to go all out. He couldn't lose face for the army outside, so he clenched his fists:
"Okay, I'll try it, but Officer Lin Siling, you have to be there to help me check."
Lin Sanqi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just drive. This car usually doesn't break down, and you don't have to pay for it if it does."
The three of them got into the car quickly. Xue Ding swallowed, released the handbrake, and then stepped on the accelerator. The car rushed forward suddenly. Fortunately, he was quick-eyed and quick-handed and stepped on the brakes.
Lin Sanqi comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Just step on the accelerator a few more times and it will feel right. Let's go."
Xue Ding felt relieved when he heard this and began to step on the accelerator lightly. The Shandong Cat slowly accelerated, becoming faster and faster, and more and more balanced.
The Shandong Cat had no license plate, and no one in the entire Bao'an County dared to stop the car of Commissioner Lin, the local tyrant, so it soon arrived at the Tuyang Warehouse.
The Tuyang warehouse is located on the mountainside and faces the sea. Because the roads are used by large trucks, the roads are very muddy and dilapidated, with many potholes.
But although Xue Dingkai's Shandong Cat was constantly shaking, it was generally very balanced. In order to test its performance, it ran at a speed of 60 yards throughout the whole process.
On the same road section, a large truck would be lucky if it could run 30 kilometers per hour. If it runs any faster, it will easily fall apart.
After arriving at the warehouse, Xue Ding said excitedly:
"Great, great, Commander. This car's performance completely surpasses all other cars currently available in the country. It's perfect for our Yunnan Border Army."
After getting off the car, Xue Ding also couldn't let go of this 8-wheel Shandong Cat. It seemed that he wanted to take it home as his wife.
Lin Sanqi was particularly satisfied with the performance of these two country bumpkins from the 1960s. It was worth it for him to travel through two time and space and spend so much liquor to get the all-terrain vehicle back.
"Lao Cao, Xiao Xue, look, I still have 21 types of Shandong cats in my warehouse, ding ding, ding ding~~~"
As soon as the warehouse door was opened, various types of Shandong cats were revealed parked inside, including six-wheeled ones, four-wheeled ones, and even three-wheeled three-wheeled motorcycles.
Some looked like trucks, some looked like jeeps, and some looked like tanks. There were so many different kinds of vehicles that they stunned Army Commander Cao and Battalion Commander Xue.
"Xiao, Xiaolin, are these the Shandong cats you mentioned?"
Lin Sanqi said proudly, "Yes, it's the Shandong Cat, but remember, the full name is the All-Terrain Mountain. Listen to the name, it means it can be driven on any terrain."
Xue Ding ran over and asked anxiously:
"Mr. Lin Siling, can I try?"
"Sure, you can try it. Don't be afraid of damaging it. This kind of car is meant to be driven hard. Stand up and pedal like someone else's wife. The steps for starting and driving are the same."
Xue Ding jumped onto a four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle at this time. Lin Sanqi reminded him:
"This car can be switched between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive. Just press this button. Two-wheel mode is more fuel-efficient, while four-wheel mode is more enjoyable to drive."
Xue Ding studied it for a while and then asked:
"Mr. Lin Siling, can I go to the back mountain and try?"
Behind the Tuyang Warehouse is the continuous Wutong Mountains. The mountain roads are steep and the vegetation is dense. It is a typical tropical rainforest.
Lin Sanqi also got on another ATV: "Let's go, let's go play together."
Commander Cao couldn't help but feel itchy at this time:
"I'll drive one too and try out its performance. Xiaolin, these are all new cars..."
Lin Sanqi habitually waved his hand:
"It's okay. I've already ordered 50,000 Shandong Cats like this. I can drive them however I want. If they break down, I'll just throw them away without repairing them. Humph."
Upon hearing this, Commander Cao had no more worries. He jumped onto a four-wheeled terrain vehicle and rushed out first.
The three of them drove a Shandong Cat and started running wildly in the mountains. They drove wherever the terrain was bad. If you didn't know, you would think it was a jungle adventure project that the rich second generation would play decades later.
After half a day, all three of them were covered in mud, and there were many scratches on their bodies and faces from branches.
Suddenly, Xue Ding saw a mud slope of about 65 degrees. He felt itchy and wanted to give it a try, so he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed forward.
Commander Cao's eyes were sharp, and he shouted softly:
"This slope is too steep. It would be very difficult for a Shandong Cat to drive up it. Xue Ding, be careful, don't..."
Before he could finish his words, the Shandong Cat driven by Xue Ding suddenly skidded and the car stopped for a moment.
A bystander can see things more clearly. Lin Sanqi and Commander Cao already knew that the car was going to overturn. As expected, the Shandong cat rolled backwards and then began to roll several times in the mud.
Commander Cao thought something was wrong, so he quickly got out of the car and ran over: "Help~~"
Lin Sanqi had already seen clearly that Xue Ding was fine at all. He was probably just a little dizzy after rolling around a few times.
In order to adapt to complex environments, the Shandong Cat has a very sturdy body, and there are several weapon mounting brackets on the top of the head, so after rolling a few times, the car will only suffer minor damage.
Sure enough, Xue Ding suddenly shouted: "I'm fine. I won't believe this today."
After the car stopped, Xue Ding stepped on the accelerator and started climbing the slope again. Soldiers are so unwilling to give up. They must conquer this steep slope today.
Commander Cao looked at the Shandong cat rushing out again in astonishment, and then burst into laughter.
"Xiao Lin, that's great! These Shandong cats of yours are tailor-made for us. With this kind of car, our troops' mobility will be greatly enhanced."
The three of them had a great time and after coming down from Wutong Mountain, they returned to the Tuyang warehouse.
Fu Hongliang, the director of the logistics department of the Fushan Military Sub-district and the person in charge of the Tuyang warehouse, who is also Shen Guoming's son-in-law, has prepared clean clothes and is waiting in person.
"Commander Cao, Commissioner Lin, Xue Ding. I've prepared hot water and clothes. Go change first."
Commander Cao took the towel, looked at Fu Hongliang and said with a smile:
"Xiao Fu, that's great. I see you've gained weight in the few months since you came to Bao'an County. It seems the mountains and rivers of Bao'an are really good for health."
Fu Hongliang was originally a subordinate of Commander Cao, so they were naturally familiar with each other, so he replied with a smile:
"Commander, you don't know that in the Bao'an County cafeteria, you can eat meat every day, and there are also all kinds of seafood. It's impossible not to gain weight."
Commander Cao shook his head and said with some dissatisfaction:
"That won't work. We soldiers need to act like soldiers. So, every morning, you can run 5 kilometers with a 20-kilogram weight. Can you do it?"
Although Fu Hongliang was no longer a member of the Yunnan Front Army, a soldier's duty was to obey orders, so he stood up straight and said solemnly:
"Yes, I will ensure that the task is completed."
At this moment, Xue Ding suddenly realized that something was wrong:
"No, no, Hongliang, you were a major like me, right? How come you have one more star than me now, making it 22 cents?"
Fu Hongliang said proudly:
"That's right. I'm now the director of the logistics department of the military sub-district. How about it? Do you want to come with me to Bao'an County?"
Xue Ding waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, you're a civilian cadre, it doesn't matter where you go. I've honed my skills, and I'm going to fight in the battlefield. Look, Commissioner Lin got us so many tanks, I can't help but want to drive the Shandong Cat all over the mountains and plains to kill the enemy."
When Fu Hongliang heard this, he touched his chin and said:
"This Shandong cat is really good. I just tried to play with it. But it feels like something is missing when you go into battle and kill the enemy."
Xue Ding fell into deep thought when he heard this:
"Hey, you're right, there really is something missing..."
Bang, they both shouted at the same time: "Missing a good weapon!"
After hearing this, Commander Cao also felt that it made sense, so he instructed Fu Hongliang:
"Hongliang, you have machine guns here, right?"
"Yes, we have both the Type 53 heavy machine gun and the Type 56 squad light machine gun."
"Then go find a welder and weld a machine gun stock onto the Shandong Cat's bracket. We'll see if we can unleash the full power of our current machine gun by mounting it on the Shandong Cat."
Lin Sanqi also came out of the shower and thought it made sense.
"Yes, let's try the guns first. If there's anything that doesn't suit us, we can adjust it. So, let's not try the mortars and howitzers for now, let's try the machine guns first."
The characteristic of Shandong Cat is its mobility and flexibility, which is very suitable for machine guns. Once it finds the enemy, it can open the safety and fire continuously. It is also very mobile and flexible.
If you use a cannon, you have to stop the car and adjust the angle and correct the parameters before firing, which is very troublesome. By then, the enemies in the jungle may have already disappeared and are still waiting for you to attack them.
The staff in the logistics department acted quickly and immediately installed stocks on different Shandong cats.
Fu Hongliang drove the car and Xue Ding operated the machine gun, and they drove the Shandong Cat into the jungle again for a "real combat exercise."
Lin Sanqi and Commander Cao drove another Shandong Cat behind them.
After half a day of testing, everyone sat together and Xue Ding gave his report: (End of this chapter)
