The last leader of the world starts with an elite infantry squad!

"But there is something I need to explain to you, Commander Lu."

Seeing Lu Chong's expression, Li Tianlin was afraid that the other party had misunderstood, so he quickly explained:

"Although this armored vehicle uses the blueprint of the Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicle and its appearance is not much different, it can actually be regarded as a castrated version of the Mengshi 3 armored vehicle."

"For example, the chassis, engine, and internal electronic equipment all use existing alternatives, and the performance of the entire vehicle is only about 3% of that of the Mengshi 70 armored assault vehicle."

"And in terms of information integration, it is basically... "

Li Tianlin thought Lu Chong would be disappointed after hearing this, but unexpectedly Lu Chong waved his hand indifferently:

"it's okay no problem!"

"This is more than enough. At least it's better than having the infantry brigade ride on civilian trucks!"

"The most important thing is the ability to defend!"

"The main target of our current battle is just zombies, not the army of a major country. It's fine as long as we can use it."

"As for the follow-up, I believe that experts and academicians like you can definitely optimize it further!"

Hearing this, Academician Li Tianlin nodded, and then couldn't help but emphasize:

“Although it only has 3% of the performance of the Mengshi 70 armored vehicle, it is still about 10% higher than the armored vehicles of the same level currently in service in Zhoubang.”

Speaking of this, Academician Li Tianlin couldn't help but have a hint of pride in his tone.

The main equipment and production lines of this current tank assembly plant all originated from the former 452 tank factory in Zhanjiang District.

When the troops recaptured the factory, they also received some completed and semi-finished Zhou Bang's active "Tenglong" series armored vehicles.

The reason why the tank assembly plant chose to produce the low-end version of the Mengshi 3 armored vehicle was not a decision made on a whim, but was based on comprehensive testing and comparison by professionals.

The result of the comparative analysis is that the low-end version of the Mengshi 3 armored vehicle is more cost-effective than the most advanced Tamron II in the Tamron series!

Because of this, the production line was adjusted and the current low-end version of the Mengshi 3 armored vehicle was determined.

"That's even better. By the way, Academician Li, apart from armored vehicles, how is the production status of other weapons and equipment?" At this point, Lu Chong's face showed a rare eagerness.

If he had only served as the commander of an airborne assault brigade or a combined arms battalion, he would not have cared so much about these equipments.

After all, the regular troops never need to worry about weapons and equipment.

But now it’s different. Looking back on his past self, Lu Chong really feels that “one doesn’t know how expensive firewood and rice are until he manages the household.”

Now as the commander of the Zhanjiang Military Sub-district, he is in charge of four Yezhou Infantry Brigades. His children are crying with hunger every day!

Those who originally didn't care started to care because of the crying. I don't know who the brigade commanders below learned this from. They are so shameless!

Before the war started this time, in order to get more combat supplies allocated by the provincial military region, many people even slept on the floor right outside his office door, crying poor all the time, which annoyed Lu Chong to the point of his head exploding!

The key point is that it is not difficult to blame anyone. It is a fact that the infantry brigade is poor, and there is nothing wrong with a leader running around for the unit.

To be honest, Lu Chong should praise them for being responsible!

So Lu Chong had no choice but to forcibly divide the more than 2 Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicles that were assigned to the nd Infantry Brigade of Yezhou by the provincial military district.

Lu Chong knew clearly which was more important: having three brigade commanders annoyed with him or having only one brigade commander annoyed with him.

If Lu Chong used to be an unrestrained lion who only cared about fighting and didn't care about eating or drinking, then now he is a single father with many little lions, whose eyes light up green when he sees weapons and ammunition!

Since he had come here with great difficulty this time, he naturally wanted to take something back.

Seeing Lu Chong's expression, Li Tianlin, who was an academician in the military industry and had to deal with military leaders, naturally understood what Lu Chong was thinking at the moment.

"Commander Lu, the production lines for weapons and ammunition have all started up, and they are continuing to expand their production capacity!"

"It's definitely far from enough to meet the needs of the troops, but we have managed to save some."

"Due to the constraints of the early production conditions, the bullet production line has only opened 5.8mm caliber general-purpose bullets, and the firearms have only trial-produced the QBZ-20 assault rifle in the 191-type gun family."

"Both quantities are not large. The 5.8mm general-purpose ammunition warehouse should have about 100 million rounds, and there are probably less than 191 QBZ-100 assault rifles, because some were consumed during gun testing."

Hearing this, Lu Chong couldn't help scratching his head. He thought Academician Li Tianlin was just being modest when he said it was not enough, but he didn't expect it was really not enough.

What can you do with such a small amount of stuff?

But based on the principle that even a mosquito leg is still meat, Lu Chong decided to take them all away.

Now that you are here, you must bring something back!

As if seeing the disappointment in Lu Chong's eyes, Academician Li Tianlin couldn't help but comfort him:

"But Commander Lu, don't worry too much. The current low production is in the process of adjusting the production line and testing the product."

"After a while, the production line will be adjusted and put into full production. I dare not say more, but the troops of the Zhanjiang Military Region will definitely take care of it!"

"And with the subsequent expansion of production, the range of guns in the Type 20 family will continue to expand, producing pistols, submachine guns, machine guns, shotguns, grenade launchers, etc."

“比如QJB-201型5.8毫米班用机枪、QJY-201型7.62毫米通用机枪、甚至是QJZ-171型12.7毫米重机枪！”

“以及QBU系列的201型12.7毫米高精度狙击步枪、202型8.6毫米高精度狙击步枪、203型7.62毫米高精度狙击步枪等等。”

"The only thing we lack now is time and continued support. Our military experts and a large number of technicians will seize the time, but we will need Commander Lu's support in terms of resource investment!"

As Lu Chong listened to the development blueprint that Academician Li Tianlin was constantly drawing up, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

So many guns, so many choices?

Then by then, wouldn't the several Yezhou infantry brigades under his command also be able to be built according to the configuration of the direct troops?

The Mengshi 3 armored vehicle + the current individual equipment, leaving aside the performance gap, heavy firepower configuration, and combat qualities, can be considered to have barely reached the threshold of a light combined brigade!

Wouldn't it be possible to continue advancing northwards then?

Thinking of this, Lu Chong couldn't help but show a look of joy, and directly patted his chest and took the responsibility:

"Don't worry, Academician Li. You just need to do your research steadily in the back, and leave the rest to me!"

"I dare not say if I don't have it, but as long as I have it, I will definitely get it for you!"

"Hahaha, then I would like to thank Commander Lu for his support!"

"You're welcome, we're all here to serve the Chief!"

...

After a round of greetings, Lu Chong, under the protection of two elite infantry squads, left the Zhanjiang Military Industrial Zone in a Mengshi 3 armored command vehicle and headed towards the Ye Province Military Sub-district.

After watching the taillights of the Lu Chong convoy disappear from his sight, Academician Li Tianlin came back to his senses, tapped his back lightly, and said to the disciple beside him with a smile:

"See? This is how you deal with military leaders."

"They don't know any fucking technology. The most effective way is to put the weapon in front of them!"

"Then they will be willing to pay!"

"It's the same whether you're a person or doing research. You can't do without dealing with people, so it's important to get the pulse right!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dull-looking middle-aged man behind Li Tianlin nodded as if he understood.

"Teacher, I understand!"
