Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

What no one expected was that just because of this military parade, SUN company actually received more than a dozen large orders.

You should know that the SUN-35-H1 rocket launcher that appeared in the military parade this time is actually a product that has been eliminated by the Xihua Army.

The first reason for bringing out this rocket launcher this time is to show other countries SUN's new product, and also to use this military parade to try to open up sales for this product.

Who would have thought that as soon as they saw this rocket, the chaebol countries in South America seemed to have hit a point of excitement and placed orders with SUN to purchase this weapon.

The prototype of the H1 model rocket is the Russian BM-13 rocket launcher, which is often referred to as the "Katyusha". There is no need to say much about the advantages of this rocket launcher. The reason why it was returned by the Xihua Army was mainly because the strike accuracy of this rocket launcher was not enough.

If they really want to provide firepower coverage, the Xihua Army has a lot of equipment that can do this, especially the SUN-26 107mm rocket launcher that was developed a long time ago. There is no need to say what the prototype of this rocket launcher is. After all, the 107 rocket launcher is one of the three major guerrilla weapons in the world, and this thing has been boasted by many people on the Internet in later generations.

Let’s not talk about how much of this bragging is true or false. The key point is that in this era, this thing is absolutely a well-deserved killer.

Compared with the 'H1' rocket launcher, this rocket launcher has advantages in all aspects except that it needs to be towed and moved, which makes it inconvenient, and the explosive power of the rocket is slightly weaker.

First of all, the 107 rocket launcher is very light. Since the entire rocket launcher is detachable, the weight of this rocket launcher is only 385 kilograms when marching. This makes it possible to move this rocket launcher easily even in relatively harsh battlefield conditions. This point alone is incomparable to the bulky Katyusha.

In addition, this rocket launcher has the same range as the H1 rocket launcher. The 107 rocket launcher equipped with a locator has a much higher strike accuracy than the H1 rocket launcher.

It is precisely because they are already equipped with weapons that are more suitable for them that the Xihua Army dislikes the H1.

However, the Xihua Army did not look down on this weapon, but the South China army chose to purchase a batch of it.

The main reason for this is the way the two weapons move.

As a vehicle-mounted rocket launcher, the H1 rocket launcher is very suitable for areas with underdeveloped transportation. When the 107 rocket launcher is not suitable for external sale, looking around the world, countries really cannot come up with a weapon of the same type that can compare with this weapon.

As the H1 rocket launcher continues to become more popular, countries around the world are now beginning to pay attention to this weapon.

It’s just that the research and development of weapons like rocket launchers don’t seem difficult, but when it comes to actual operation, everyone finds that this thing is not as simple as it seems.

The more this happened, the more countries paid attention to the H1 rocket launcher. After the Rockefeller Kingdom took the lead, more than countries around the world began to order this weapon from SUN.

Especially the more pretentious Ying people, they not only bought fifty H1 rocket launchers from SUN, but they also hoped that SUN could develop a towed rocket launcher for them based on the H1 rocket launcher.

Regarding this request from the Yingguo people, not to mention that the people from SUN company couldn't figure out the other party's train of thought, even Sun Tong didn't understand what the Yingguo people were trying to do.

But the customer is God. Since the Chinese are willing to pay for the research and development costs and have promised that they will purchase large quantities of the weapons after they are developed, what else can we say? Just get to work!

It was not difficult for the Xihua Military Equipment Research Institute to design such a weapon. After all, they had accumulated a lot of experience in developing rocket launchers. Especially with the 107 rocket launcher as a good example, it took them only two months to develop a towed rocket launcher based on the H1 rocket launcher platform, and they directly named this rocket launcher H1Q.

As a derivative of the H1 rocket launcher, the H1Q rocket launcher has not changed much compared to the former. The main changes are concentrated in the range. The range of this rocket launcher directly reaches 2 kilometers, which is 5 kilometers more than the original model. The research institute also stated that if they can be given enough time to develop new fuels, then they are confident that they can increase the range of this rocket launcher to 15~18 kilometers.

Sun Tong naturally believed the statement given by the research institute.

In fact, if he had not set a rule for himself not to interfere with the development of domestic military equipment, then with the information in his hands, it would not be difficult for him to develop a rocket launcher with a range of more than 30 kilometers!
