At present, the number of tanks in China is slightly higher than that in France, reaching nearly 3000.In order to achieve the goal of 10000 vehicles, the annual production volume will reach 2000 vehicles in the next few years.

This task is not easy to complete.

However, if it is really possible to import tank production lines from Germany, an arsenal specializing in the production of tanks will be established.So this task is not impossible.And this task must be completed.

Because China's biggest rival, the Soviet Union, is a crazy country.Obviously, in terms of industrial data, it is far lower than that of the United States and China.But they like tanks more than any other country.In the past two years, they have started to produce tanks frantically.To face the Soviet Union, China must also have enough tanks.

“是。过去的一年，全国生产了各类飞机941架。其中‘战-3’战斗机生产了241架，‘SEV-2’战斗机11架，‘轰-4’轰炸机生产了118架，‘H-5’轰炸机生产了223架，‘P-4’教练机生产了68架，‘侦-2’侦察机21架，‘水-5’水上飞机33架，‘SEV-3’水上飞机5架，‘运-3’运输机149架，‘运-4’运输机66架，‘SEV-4’运输机6架。”

Han Linchun immediately introduced it carefully.

China currently produces many types of aircraft. Not to mention Duan Xun, many senior officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs are confused.So everyone looked at the documents handed over by Han Linchun, and had a brief understanding of the current situation of China's aircraft production.

Of course, because of reading these materials, everyone is not clear.So Han Linchun continued to give you a detailed introduction: "Prime Minister, there are currently four large aircraft manufacturing plants in our country, which are also the main aircraft manufacturing companies in our country. They include Wuchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, Chongqing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, and Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. The Wuchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is the largest aircraft manufacturing factory in China and the oldest aircraft manufacturing factory. It has strong technical force and rich experience in aircraft manufacturing. It has produced aircraft for China for 20 years and produced various types of aircraft. More than 2000. The Chongqing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is an aircraft manufacturing factory assisted by the Wuchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. Therefore, the aircraft models produced by the two companies are the same. Including the fighters of the 'Zhan' series, the bombers of the 'Boom' series, the trainers of the 'P' series, the seaplanes of the 'Water' series, and the transport aircraft of the 'Yun' series , are manufactured by these two aircraft manufacturers. At present, 70% of China's aircraft manufacturing is produced by these two aircraft manufacturers. These two aircraft manufacturers also concentrate the largest number of aviation technicians in China."

"As for the Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant and the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, the overall production equipment was imported from the United States during the Second Five-Year Plan. In terms of design output, these two aircraft manufacturing plants are large-scale aircraft manufacturers that are no less than Wuchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. factory. It’s just that the aircraft output of these two aircraft factories has not reached the design output. These two aircraft factories currently mainly produce bombers and reconnaissance aircraft. In the past, China did not have professional reconnaissance aircraft, and they all changed fighter jets into reconnaissance aircraft Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory and Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory mainly produce 'H' series of bombers and 'Reconnaissance' series of reconnaissance aircraft. They also produced some prototype fighter jets, but they have not been approved by the military, so they are not counted here in."

Duan Xun looked at the information and said, "The Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory and the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory are both full-set production lines that were introduced during the Second Five-Year Plan. But judging from the current situation, the output is not very high."

"Yes."

Han Linchun nodded.

Said: "Prime Minister, although these two factories cost a lot of money and have a complete production line, their technical strength is far inferior to that of Wuchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory and Chongqing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, and they do not have much new aircraft development and production capacity. The bombers currently produced are still It has directly introduced the full set of bomber technology from Heinkel, and the chief engineer of the company is an engineer from Heinkel.”

"Ah."

Duan Xun was not angry.

Building tall buildings from flat ground has always been very difficult.Although China's current industrial data is very good-looking, it only ranks behind the United States and surpasses the old imperialists such as Britain, France and Germany.But in the accumulation of industrial technology, China is far behind European and American countries.After all, their industry has developed for hundreds of years and has accumulated sufficient technology.If European and American countries are developing their industries step by step, then China's industry is taking a shortcut.

Taking advantage of the world economic crisis and the advantage of being a latecomer, it directly imports machinery and equipment from European and American countries, directly imports a complete set of equipment, and directly imports their technology.It seems that it has quickly caught up with the development of European and American countries for hundreds of years, but in fact, many aspects are still in the situation of knowing but not knowing why.

Just talk about the aircraft industry.According to the guidance of European and American experts, China can directly import their full set of technology and their full set of production equipment to produce their own aircraft.However, it is still far behind in many respects.

China produces aircraft, and only knows that it is right to produce aircraft in this way.According to the knowledge transferred from Europe and the United States, aircraft can be produced, and aircraft can be mass-produced.But why it is designed in this way, why it is assembled in this way, has not been fully digested.It is only based on the knowledge of European and American experts, and it is only based on the technology of European and American countries to produce aircraft.However, due to the inability to digest specific technologies, China's current research and development capabilities are seriously insufficient.

It is not so easy for China to develop a new type of aircraft by itself.This is the current situation of Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant and Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.Wuchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is able to modify the aircraft because of its technical reserves and sufficient experience accumulation.But Xifei (Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory) and Shenfei (Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory) are not at this level.Therefore, the current aircraft produced by Xifei and Shenfei only have different names, but they are actually the Chinese version of Heinkel's aircraft.

This is not a problem that Duan Xun can solve by being angry.This will take time, and requires Xifei and Shenfei to have enough experience and sufficient technology accumulation.

"What is this 'SEV'?"

"Prime Minister, this is a foreign-funded aircraft manufacturing company approved by the cabinet. The boss is a former Tsarist Russian pilot. This aircraft manufacturing company is named Seversky Aircraft Company. The aircraft models they produce are all named after 'SEV'. "

"They're not bad."

Looking at the above information, Duan Xun already remembered which company it was.At the beginning, for this company, the cabinet also conducted a special discussion.This company has been established in China for less than five years, but the results are really good.So he smiled and said, "They have fighter jets, seaplanes, and transport planes."

"Yes."

Han Linchun said: "Prime Minister, from concept design, comprehensive design, trial production, test flight, and correction of this series of aircraft development process, Servesky Aircraft Company has very strong technical force. When they came to China to establish an aircraft factory, they came from the United States They brought a large number of aircraft engineers of Russian origin. And in their R&D team, there are also many American aircraft engineers who were unemployed at the time. We have learned about their company here, and the number of foreign engineers in their aircraft R&D team has reached more than 1200 People. These people are engineers with professional knowledge and enough experience. In terms of the strength of the research and development team, they are even more powerful than our aircraft factory. Commander Qin (Qin Guoyong) knows this best.”

Han Linchun spoke highly of Servesky Aircraft Company.

Especially their founders are Russians, and there are a lot of Russians in the US.They were all Russian aristocrats who were exiled to the United States when Soviet Russia was founded.

These aristocrats and rich people, because they have received good education, there are many outstanding talents in them.Servesky Aircraft Company employed a large number of ex-Russian aircraft engineers in exile in the United States.

"Prime Minister, the Air Force never thought of ordering Seversky Aircraft's aircraft, after all they are a foreign aircraft company. But their aircraft are really very good, especially their 'SEV-3' seaplane and 'SEV -4' transport aircraft is really outstanding, its performance is first-class in the world. The 'SEV-4' transport aircraft has a cruising speed of 280 kilometers, a maximum speed of 340 kilometers, and can accommodate 16 passengers. Compared with our Wuchang aircraft factory The produced 'Yun-3' and 'Yun-4' are fast and can accommodate many passengers. Of the transport planes currently owned by our Air Force, the 'Yun-4' that accommodates the most passengers can only transport 9 people at most. It's bad' SEV-4' a notch."

"Have these planes completed their test flights?"

"Yes."

Qin Guoyong nodded and said, "Prime Minister, the planes that appear in the report are all accepted by the military."

"The output is so low?"

"They are just a small factory, and their annual output of dozens of aircraft is quite powerful. However, Prime Minister, their technical strength is really strong, and the performance of the aircraft they produce is really good. The Air Force hopes to order a large number of their aircraft Aircraft, and hope to be able to directly issue some aircraft development tasks to them. Therefore, the Air Force believes that their company should be included in the Air Force purchase order. On behalf of the Air Force, I suggest that the cabinet help them increase production.”

"Ah."

Duan Xun didn't speak.

It looks like the Air Force really likes this aircraft factory.Most of China's aircraft technology now comes from France and Germany.The technologies of Wuchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant and Chongqing Aircraft Manufacturing Plant are mainly inherited from France and Germany.Wuchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory has enough experience because of its technical foundation and the fact that it has produced so many aircraft.Over the years, it has been combining French and German technologies to produce the main aircraft currently needed by the Chinese Air Force and Navy.

But Xi Fei is different from Shen Fei.

The foundation is too poor, so it can only produce aircraft imported from Heinkel's full set of technology.On the contrary, the aircraft factory that was approved during the Great Depression in the United States has unexpectedly strong technical strength.It can develop new types of aircraft by itself, and has been highly praised by the Air Force.

"Minister Han (Han Linchun), tell me."

"Yes."

Han Linchun nodded and said: "Prime Minister, the Equipment Department has thought about this issue. There are three ways. One is that our aircraft factory cooperates with Servesky Aircraft Company to establish an aircraft factory, or our aircraft factory becomes a shareholder of Servesky Sky Aircraft Company, the two parties cooperate to produce these types of aircraft. The advantage of this is that we can control the production direction and produce the aircraft we need. But I am afraid that Servesky Aircraft Company will not accept it, and they will worry that we will annex theirs company."

"The second is that the Selvesky Aircraft Company authorized our aircraft factory to produce the aircraft they developed. Our aircraft factory paid them patent fees. The advantage of this is that it can Utilize the strong production capacity of Xifei and Shenfei to quickly produce these aircraft and increase production. Selvesky company does not have to worry about being swallowed by us. Moreover, they can quickly obtain a large amount of funds. You can concentrate on aircraft research and development.”

"The third one is that the cabinet supports Cervesky company funds to expand the size of Cervesky's factory. Let Cervesky Aircraft Company become a strong aircraft manufacturing company, and we order directly from their aircraft factory Aircraft. However, the strength of the Servesky Aircraft Company is rapidly increasing, and whether it can be controlled in the future is a big problem."

Duan Xun nodded.

I understood what Han Linchun meant.After thinking for a while, he asked, "Have you ever had contact with them?"

"Have you ever had contact with them?"

"Yes."

Han Linchun nodded.

He said directly: "Prime Minister, after all, this is an aircraft factory that can manufacture fighter jets and bombers. So our equipment department has been paying attention. The performance of the aircraft they have developed in recent years is also very good. Their aircraft is very satisfied. Therefore, the equipment department also contacted this company sideways and talked about the topic of cooperation."

"How's it going?"

The development of China's civil aviation is in full swing, and more than 100 cities across the country have built airports and opened air routes.At present, the national airlines have more than [-] civil aircraft.But overall, domestically manufactured aircraft are still the main supply for the military.Compared with the fighter jets and bombers purchased by the army, the number of transport aircraft is still relatively small.And even if it is a transport aircraft, the army is the big customer.

Therefore, the equipment department is not at ease with Selvesky Aircraft Company.

This aircraft manufacturing company is not only a civil aircraft company, but also a foreign-funded civil aircraft company.It is an aircraft manufacturing company that has completely separated from the control of the Ministry of Equipment and the government.At present, China's aircraft factories are either under the control of the Ministry of Military Equipment or the Ministry of Commerce.But Selvesky is a completely independent aircraft factory.

Now the military is interested in their aircraft.

Although the military was primarily interested in their seaplanes and transports, their fighters were not bad either, and the military ordered a small number of them.And as long as there is a lot of financial support, with their technical strength, they will definitely be able to produce better products in terms of fighter jets and bombers.Therefore, it is of course impossible for the equipment department to let this company go.
