China, BAIC Motor Corporation.
A group of British and French people, accompanied by factory personnel, were inspecting the goods on the test track.
An off-road passenger and cargo vehicle, also commonly known as a pickup truck, was speeding on the test track.
There was no road at all in this test track.
It was deliberately made bumpy by the factory, and there were also a lot of gravel and gravel.
As well as puddles, quagmire and other unfriendly terrain.
But in front of this car, these things are not obstacles at all, and it can be easily rolled over.
No matter whether it is puddles, mire, gravel, gravel, or a 30-degree slope, it can't stop it.
The British and French people's eyes lit up.
One of the tall French generals said very happily: "It's great.
We hope to purchase a large number of these passenger and cargo vehicles.
At least 3,000 are needed.
No, it can be 5,000 more.
I think 5,000."
That's enough" This was Lieutenant General Charles de Gaulle, the new commander of the French North African Joauf Corps.
After he praised the car in front of him, he said angrily to his deputy, Brigadier General Leclerc: "Those trash from Renault and Citroën are really damned.
They Why can’t we produce a car like this?”
"Yes, General.
Thanks to the Chinese off-road vehicles, we were able to defeat the Germans in the Battle of the Loire."
Leclerc sighed: "Because of the traffic jam on the road at that time, we ran hundreds of kilometers in one breath in order to grab time. , many times it is directly from We drove here in a wilderness with roads.
If we had used those junk cars made in France, I am sure that at least half of them would have been damaged on the road.
But if you look at the Chinese products, there are almost none.
No damage whatsoever, not even a breakdown on the road.”
"Well, that one is an old model of Beijing Automobile, and its performance is already very good.
Now the performance of this model called Beijing 3901 is even more outstanding.
You see, this kind of car can easily carry a squad of soldiers. , as well as all their weapons and ammunition, and even a 75mm cannon in tow , or a trailer filled with ammunition or other things, can also run on deserts, gravel, and roads damaged by artillery."
De Gaulle's voice was full of joy: "I think there is nothing better than this in the world.
Good thing.
With this kind of vehicle, our mobile force can be considered a real mobile force."
"This type of vehicle is very suitable for the North African battlefield.
They have excellent off-road performance and maintainability.
I recommend that our empire's army in North Africa and the Egyptian army also equip this type of vehicle," a British general also said to his companions.
The French are now short of weapons and equipment, very, very short.
Because it is very important, I will say it twice.
It's not that they don't have any, but that many of their weapons arsenals are set up behind the Maginot Line and near Paris.
After the Maginot Line was breached, they were taken over by the Germans before they could move.
This batch of weapons that can equip more than 40 divisions is a real bargain for the Germans, but it is useless for the Germans to hold these weapons.
The weapons standards of the two sides are different.
The Germans can only use these weapons to serve the army.
They don't know how to use it themselves.
Now the French want to expand their troops massively and are in urgent need of a large number of weapons.
If they don't have enough of their own, they can only purchase and import them.

In today's world, there are only a few top powers that can meet this requirement.
Of course, the other camp cannot consider it.
The United Kingdom on its side is also expanding its troops and its weapons are tight.
The French looked down on Soviet weapons, so only China and the United States were left.
China is the closest, because the Eurasian Railway has now extended to Tripoli, French Libya.
To be precise, it can be called the Asia-Africa-Europe Railway.
The materials sold by China can be directly sent to France's North African territories, which is unmatched by the United States, which needs to cross the Atlantic.
So the French sent a large number of orders to China.
In addition to guns, cannons, aircraft, tanks, and ammunition, the most purchased items were cars.
In the Battle of the Loire from the end of August to the beginning of September, the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division under the command of de Gaulle made great achievements.
They defeated two and a half German divisions of attacking troops and successfully defended Orleans.
This battle was the French Army's first major victory since the war began.
It greatly improved the morale of the French people.
As a result, de Gaulle became a new hero and was promoted from brigadier general to major general.
After France stabilized its position, de Gaulle was promoted to lieutenant general and appointed as the military commander of North Africa, commanding all colonial forces in North Africa and concurrently serving as commander of the North African Zhuauf Corps.
North Africa is full of deserts and deserts, and the area is so large that without a suitable vehicle, it is impossible to let French soldiers ride camels.
During the Battle of the Loire, de Gaulle requisitioned a large number of private cars to transport troops and supplies.
In the chaotic situation at that time, several off-road vehicles made in China showed strong performance, were durable, easy to maintain, and easy to maintain.
You can run on any road, even if there is no road.
In particular, its off-road performance was as good as any of his half-track vehicles, not to mention its maintainability and fuel efficiency.
It was simply amazing.
De Gaulle also became a fan of Chinese cars.
This time the expansion of the Zouave Corps and other colonial forces required a large amount of weapons and equipment.
De Gaulle was worried and went to China to select the goods himself.
He fell in love with the newly launched "3901" off-road pickup truck launched by BAIC Motor at first sight.
In the 1920s, pickup trucks first appeared in the United States.
They are a very practical and common means of transportation in the United States and are deeply loved by Americans.
They are a symbol of modern American cowboy culture.
As the U.S. pickup truck market booms, pickup trucks are also expanding to other parts of the world.
Of course, it is different in this dimension.
This type of car first appeared in China and was sold to the United States and Europe before World War I.
It is as popular as in the original time and space and is deeply loved by the American people.
Its official name in China is "Passenger and Cargo Vehicle".
Because the name is too lengthy, it is not as catchy as "Pickup", a name that was resold from the United States.
Before World War I, because the consumption power of the Chinese people was not high, these pickup trucks were sold to the United States and Europe.
After World War I, life became easier for China, which made a huge profit in the war, and the consumption power of the people also increased greatly. , after the economic crisis in 1929, China's private consumption increased dramatically.
Over the years, China's private car ownership has reached more than 50 million vehicles.
This "3901" pickup truck was originally designed to meet the needs of rural areas in the northwest, Anxi and Mobei regions.
At this time, China's road conditions benefited from thirty years of continuous infrastructure construction and were already very good, but after all, the area It's so big, it's fine in cities and suburbs, but the road conditions in more remote countryside, especially in new territories, are worse.
In addition, farmers don't know how to maintain it carefully, and farmers buy this kind of car just for work.
Rough work, like sometimes using it as a tractor.
Therefore, when designing this model, the most valued performance is reliability, the second is maintainability, and the third is passing ability.
To enhance these three features, many other features have been compromised.
This makes this model have extremely excellent off-road capabilities, its passing ability is extremely good, and it can especially run on bad roads.
It is extremely durable and has excellent maintainability.

This car is equipped with a high-power V8 engine with a displacement of 6 liters, a power of 300 kilowatts and 402 horsepower, and self-adjusting steel wire radial wear-resistant off-road tires with wide surfaces and deep teeth, which can ensure that it can run up to 80 kilometers on extremely harsh roads.
The speed is galloping.
Because it often does rough work and works part-time as a tractor, its towing ability is also top-notch.
Not to mention towing a 75mm-caliber artillery piece, it can still run happily even if it tows a 105mm-caliber artillery piece.
After Wen Desi learned that Britain and France had bought tens of thousands of pickup trucks in one go, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Well, this pickup truck is indeed very suitable for the North African battlefield, and Britain and France were indeed very discerning in selecting this vehicle, but Wen Desi couldn't help but think of the term "pickup truck rapid reaction force" in his mind.
Think about it, a group of black men sitting on a Toyota pickup truck, waving AK47s, no, it should be a group of French soldiers and British soldiers standing in the bed of a Beijing pickup truck, waving AS1936 rifles or Lee-Enfield rifles, shouting Charge against the Germans "for France" or "for the British Empire" or classmate de Gaulle standing in the bed of a pickup truck and delivering an impassioned speech to a group of colonial soldiers.
This style of painting doesn’t seem quite right, but it makes sense no matter how you think about it, is there any idea?
Of course, Britain and France did not just buy pickup trucks.
They also bought a large amount of "hot equipment", which are active weapons that China is using.
That's right, they don't mind anything second-hand now, as long as it can be used.
As for the issue of caliber and standard, this is not a problem.
China not only packs all the ammunition, but also sells dozens of ammunition production lines to them, all of which are dismantled from the factory.
The factory executives who had their equipment "robbed" were so happy that they sold a bunch of old equipment that was about to be replaced at three or even five times the original price.
This kind of good thing does not happen all the time.
China Bay County, Shi'an City.
Shi'an City is the name of this plane.
It is the famous wealthy city of Dubai in the original time and space.
It is the third largest city in Gulf County, after the capitals of Kuwait in the west and Muscat in the east.
By the way, the ancient Muscat State included most of Oman and the northeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula at its peak.
However, because the Port of Muscat was transferred to China by the British, the current plane "Muscat" Shortly after the founding of the Socialist Federal Republic, in order to To avoid confusion, it was renamed the "Socialist Federal Republic of Ma'in" in July last year.
Ma'in is also an ancient country.
It was a country established by the ancient Arabs in Yemen in the 1st millennium BC.
It is a country in the southwestern part of Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula.
The main ancient country, the capital was Garnosana.
Dubai is a very new city, although it has been inhabited since the Bronze Age in 3000 BC.
But the real history of Dubai began in 1833, when the chief of the Al Maktoum royal family led 800 people to settle on the Sindah Peninsula in Dubai Creek Bay and announced their separation from Abu Dhabi.
Prior to this, Dubai was merely a client state of Abu Dhabi, plagued by numerous tribal wars.
Relying on the superior geographical location, Maktoum led the tribe to actively develop industries such as trade and shipping.
By the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Dubai had become a relatively prosperous port.
But this place is still too barren, with nothing but desert and ocean.
When China took over, although the trade and shipping here developed well, the only beneficiaries were the powerful members of the Maktoum family and the British companies that controlled it.
The reason why this place became a rich city in the later generations of the original time and space was because oil was developed.
But at this time, there was no oil, and the only thing that could be exported was pearls.
When China took over, it was still a small port city, mainly exporting pearls.
Facing a barren desert and ocean, local residents can only make a living by raising camels and date palms, fishing and pearl hunting.
After China took over, it first carried out a drastic revolution in the social system, from property to religion.
Yuan Datou's new management committee enforces Chinese values here with iron-blooded means.
The original local people can stay, but they must change their customs.
Wen Desi has always scorned the so-called "diversity".
A country only needs and can only have one culture.
If you want to be Chinese, you must accept Chinese culture.
Integration into the dominant ethnic group, that is, Sinicization.
If you pass CET-4 or CET-6, you can become a quasi-citizen.
If you complete military service or pass the Chinese culture exam, you can officially become a citizen.

The other was religious reform.
The original radical and conservative factions in the area were banned and forcibly converted.
In addition to replacing them with the "Eastern Revelations" born out of the Baha'i sect, they also introduced local Chinese religions such as Buddhism and Taoism.
As for those who are unwilling to integrate the ethnic groups, then ask them to "leave you".
If they are unwilling to do both, then there is only one way to do it: forced labor.
Moreover, even the good local people were dispersed and resettled by Yuan Datou and others to his new territory.
The new management committee's principle for the resettlement of local indigenous people is that most of them must be dispersed and moved to other places in small family units.
Anyway, it is just one area, and most local people cannot stay in the local area.
Of course, at the same time as the local people move out, they will move the population from other places, mainly immigrants from mainland China, and the number of Han people must exceed more than two-thirds of the local population.
Yuan Datou believes that this measure is conducive to national integration.
However, when China took over, the number of indigenous people in the entire Gulf County, which was then called the Gulf Special Zone, was not very large.
From the nearly 320,000 square kilometers of land in Kuwait on the west of the Gulf and Muscat on the east of the Gulf, the total number of indigenous peoples was There are less than 300,000 people, and on average there is less than one person per square kilometer.
No matter what you do, it is much easier than in Nanyang and Central Asia.
After twenty years of development, the population of the entire Bay County has increased to nearly 2 million.
Most importantly, the population structure has completely changed.
Chinese immigrants account for 93% here, and 6% are from other countries.
For immigrants in new territories, there are less than 1 local indigenous people.
In other words, China has completely controlled this place, and the entire southern part of the Gulf has become a part of "since ancient times".
Well, no joke, it’s really “since ancient times”.
Because not long after taking over this place from the British, Datou and the others "digged" a bunch of Chinese antiques here.
The oldest one is the ruins of a Chinese-style castle excavated on the outskirts of Dubai.
Dozens of bronzes and pottery from the Western Zhou Dynasty were found inside, as well as a golden turtle-button seal with four large seal characters "Zhizi Seal" engraved on it.
Chinese experts said that this place used to be the fiefdom of a prince in the Zhou Dynasty.
The name of the fiefdom was "唔", and the title was Viscount, which was the same level as the Chu Kingdom.
It is precisely because of this ancient city that Dubai was renamed "Miao'an".
If you ask why the Chinese in the Western Zhou Dynasty went there to enclose their land, we don’t know.
Anyway, the antiques are all real.
If you don’t believe it, you can check it.
They are definitely authentic Western Zhou antiques.
As for whether ancient documents mention "唔子", there is no problem.
There are so many masters of literature and history in the Institute of Literature and History under Mr.
Wen.
There are also many wild masters who want to get in.
Besides, there are a lot of antique shops.
The experts include counterfeiting experts, as well as the veteran Mojin Xiaowei, General Faqiu, Taoist Banshan, and Xiling Lishi from the Special Examination Committee.
As for modern chemists, architectural designers and other experts, there is no shortage.
No matter the theoretical or technical support, there is no problem.
If you want ancient documents, come on.
Let's write a copy for him.
It's still carved on bamboo slips with a knife and pen.
It's absolutely antique and more real than the real thing.
Well, such wonderful things will certainly not be used only in the Gulf region.
In any new territory that China acquires, all kinds of Chinese antiques and relics will be unearthed soon after it takes over.
It's basically true, well, basically true.
The jurisdiction of Shi'an City is far larger than that of Dubai in the original time and space, including the entire Musandam Peninsula of the Shi'an Peninsula, including Sharjah and Hesse in Oman, as well as parts of Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, and part of Oman.

Zahira and Batinai provinces cover an area of more than 23,600 square kilometers.
The northern part of Shi'an City is adjacent to the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Shi'an, and is located at the throat of the Persian Gulf leading to the Indian Ocean.
Its strategic position is very important.
So this is also an important military base for China in the Gulf region.
The Eleventh Group Army of the Chinese Army is based in the city of Shi'an.
They are responsible for guarding the throat of the Persian Gulf and controlling the Middle East.
The Eleventh Army is a highly mechanized force with more than 100,000 troops under its jurisdiction.
Its main forces are two mechanized infantry divisions, a motorized infantry division, an armored division, an army aviation brigade, and an armored brigade.
At this time, the station of the 67th Armored Division was bustling with activity.
A large number of armored fighting vehicles were driven out of the camp by the officers and soldiers and parked neatly outside the camp.
A group of foreigners with tall noses in military uniforms were looking at these steel monsters with joy on their faces.
"Awesome, this is Red Wolf's best armored fighting vehicle."
A British major general looked at these neat steel monsters and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Major General Montgomery, this is the Red Wolf Type D, the latest Red Wolf, our best medium-sized tank in China."
Yang Ning, who accompanied them next to them, said with a smile: "Compared with the earliest Red Wolf, its main gun It has been upgraded to 90 mm, and the power is even more powerful.
Everyone is an expert, and they must know that if the tank soldiers cannot maintain their condition well, they will not be able to perform at all.
Their own advantages.
Some tanks have extremely unfriendly performance.
This person got dizzy within an hour after sitting on it.
However, this Red Wolf D type is different.
It has an enlarged turret and an expanded body compared to the original model.
The space, the suspension system has been improved, and the air-conditioning system has been installed, making the ride more comfortable and allowing frontline officers and soldiers to maintain their combat effectiveness.”
Yang Ning brought over the same sales tactics he used in Spain and boasted endlessly about himself.
He was an expert to begin with, having been in charge of armored military affairs for many years, and his talk was even more to the point, making a group of Allied officers very happy.
"Although these tanks have been used by our military, we have always attached great importance to the maintenance of weapons, so as long as they are repainted, they will be as good as new.
And these tanks are all used by us, so we can guarantee that they will There won’t be any problem.”
"Very good, Lieutenant General.
This is exactly what we need," Montgomery said happily.
These chariots were given to him, so of course he was happy.
However, out of caution, he still said: "Sir, can I go up and try?"
Yang Ning spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "Of course, please choose one.
Oh, you can also try shooting."
In the afternoon of the same day, representatives of the Allied Powers completed the inspection and acceptance of the batch of tanks.
They were transported to Shi'an Railway Station that day and boarded a special train to Egypt, heading straight to Alexandria.
After the foreigners left, the commander of the 67th Armored Division Hu Zongnan couldn't help but asked: "Commander, so many Red Wolves have been sold to the British, so what do we use them for?
All the tanks of our division have been given to the British, and now They’ve all become infantrymen.”
"Why are you panicking?"
Yang Ning rolled his eyes at him and smiled evilly: "Xiao Hu, do you know how much we sell a Red Wolf for?"
Hu Zongnan thought for a while and stretched out a finger: "I think there should be one hundred thousand."
"One hundred thousand," Yang Ning said contemptuously, "it's not even enough to buy a turret."
"No, Commander.
I remember that the price of this red wolf is 75,000 yuan, and it is second-hand. 100,000 yuan is not enough to buy a turret," Hu Zongnan exclaimed.
He estimated the price at 100,000, which he thought was too much.
"Seventy-five thousand is the internal price.
For the same thing, can you give your son the same price as you give it to outsiders?"

Under the expectant gazes of his subordinates, Yang Ning stretched out his hand and raised his thumb halfway. , said word for word: "A car worth four hundred and fifty thousand is the same price."
"Four to 450,000."
Hu Zongnan's jaw almost hit his instep.
He felt that he was really not good at doing business.
"Yes, this is hot stock for sale.
The price is of course a bit more expensive.
And we also have gifts for each vehicle.
Each tank is given a hundred rounds of artillery shells, three thousand rounds of ammunition, 100 liters of diesel, 100 liters of Engine oil, a set of special maintenance tools and spare crawler tracks and other commonly used spare parts, there are a total of 100 kinds of gifts.
Buy one and get 100 free.
It’s a great deal, hahahaha.” "" Hu Zongnan and others looked at each other, and they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
An old car that had been used for several years could be sold for six times the price of a new car.
Yang Ning had laughed enough and asked: "Do you think this profitable business can be sold?"
"Sell, sell, sell.
If you don't sell, you are not a human being."
Du Yuming, commander of the 42nd Mech Infantry Division, immediately shouted.
Seeing Hu Zongnan staring at him, he immediately added: "Commander, then we should use new tanks."
"Well, Xiao Du, you finally thought of it.
If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come.
I'll give you a guarantee.
Half of the money spent on buying equipment this time will become our new equipment."
Yang Ning smiled.
Said: "We haven't changed our clothes on a large scale for so many years.
We are waiting for this kind of Kaizi.
Is there anything in this world that is more cost-effective than using other people's money to change our clothes?
Hahahaha":
