Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1165

“Why don’t you talk about it and compare it with the 617 88 tank in advance?” Mr. Zhu struggled for a while before asking Xie Kai.

Xie Kai looked at Mr. Zhu, “This matter has to be arranged by superiors? If the heads of the armored department arranges, we will definitely meet. There is even no need to prepare, just transfer a few tanks from the special brigade.”

For Type 88, Xie Kai really doesn’t pay much attention to it.

It is not comparable to the 359 tank, especially the weight of the two tanks are similar.

“The Armored Forces is eager to see the specific performance. You have not caught a cold here.” Mr. Zhu looked at Xie Kai with a wry smile.

It is not that the Armored Forces is unwilling, nor that the troops do not want to listen to detailed performance reports on the 359 tank, but that the 404 has always felt that the military cannot afford the price and the order is not large, and it has been ignored.

The troops also worry that the 359 tank is too expensive.

A low-profile car now costs 2.2 million U.S. dollars, and the equivalent of soft sister coins is almost 9 million. The military is a little reluctant to accept a 5 million tank.

No money.

“I’ll ask Director Zheng and them about this matter.” Xie Kai did not answer directly. The military ordered a batch of 359 tanks, only one battalion size, to equip the special operations brigade.

The export of 359 tanks to domestic sales needs to improve some technical performance. The performance is better than the exported ones, the price is cheaper than the exported ones, and there is not much profit. Zheng Yucheng and the others are interested in the problem.

Mr. Zhu’s intention now is that he obviously wants to compare the 359 tank with the 88 tank, and then sign a contract with the Ministry of Armored Forces according to the situation.

“Three generations of tanks need to be manufactured for prototype testing to determine the specific plan. It is best for you to be sure that it can outperform the Type 88 main battle tank when the number is inferior. There needs to be a balance between price and performance…” Zhu The boss looked at Xie Kai and didn’t know if Xie Kai did it on purpose or didn’t care about domestic orders.

According to the requirements of superiors, lower costs must be used to obtain better performance.

But at present, the cost of the three generations of tanks in the world, no one from any country can be cheap.

Xie Kai nodded, “Mr Zhu, it’s already late. Let’s rest early. Tomorrow morning, I will tell Director Zheng and the others that there should be no big problems.”

The number of orders for 359 tanks in the world has been decreasing due to the end of the Iran-Iraq War. In the later stage of the war, both sides only attacked the city with missiles, and there were very few opportunities for armored forces to be dispatched.

Only a small armoured unit of the Tikrit Division went into actual combat on the Faor Peninsula and achieved good results, but this matter was kept secret by the Iraqi side. Later, the order was expanded and it was ready to fight the Persians. , I don’t know that in the end, the double-antis were unable to fight because of no money.

Now the biggest potential customer of the 359 tank is domestic.

People with 404 will not pay attention to it.

On the second day, Mr. Zhu discussed some technical issues with Zhang Deming and other personnel engaged in armored vehicle research. Xie Kai did not have time to see Mo Qi’s parents. Zheng Yucheng told him that Qi Zhiyuan, Bai Yanjun and others all rushed back in the morning. Even the old man Xie Jianguo took the train last night back to the base.

If there are major issues, the management committee must first meet to unify the thinking, and then expand the meeting, otherwise, it will be troublesome.

What Xie Kai didn’t expect was that this meeting was not just the big bosses of the management committee, but also some newcomers. Among these people, they suddenly saw the old man.

All of them are important persons in charge of various units and departments of the 404 base, and most of Xie Kai knows them.

When Mo Ying saw Xie Kai, her eyes were full of questions. Xie Kai was about to say hello to Lao Zhang Ganzi, and the meeting began.

“This time we are convening, the topic of discussion has been discussed before, and it is related to the future direction of our base…” Wang Guilin presided over the meeting and naturally let Zheng Yucheng speak first.

This has formed a fixed pattern.

When Wang Guilin saw Zheng Yucheng, he did not open the subject. Obviously, the old man didn’t want to discuss this issue. But for now, it’s no good if he doesn’t discuss it. He interrupted Zheng Yucheng’s words directly, “This discussion is no longer about what we added or reduced. Research funding. It is the focus of military and civilian products.”

Everyone was in an uproar.

No one thought that this issue would be discussed at this time.

“Lao Wang, the country must first develop the economy and allow the military to be patient. We are forgiven. We are a military research unit! If we focus on civilian products and patronize making money, what should we do with the development of military technology?” Qi Zhiyuan was the first to be anxious.

Naval equipment requires a lot of investment. Now whether it is an aircraft carrier or a 0.55 million tons of large-scale drive, it has just started. Especially the aircraft carrier project has won an order in the Thai Navy, a contract has been signed, and a plan has been confirmed.

The light aircraft carrier required by the Thai Navy is definitely not suitable for use by the Navy.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

If you want to build a larger aircraft carrier, you will have to invest more funds from the base. At this point, I will tell them whether the discussion focuses on the development of military products or civilian products.

It all feels like the situation where the country discontinued a large number of military projects a few years ago.

Not only Qi Zhiyuan feels this way, other people also feel this way.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yanjun also spoke, “Although we are just a military industrial base and cannot change the national defense situation of the entire country, why did the superiors give us such a good policy? Isn’t it to allow us to do more research in some key technical fields?”

“Yes, we are in the research and development of military technology. Basically all the projects, the personnel have just started to be equipped. It hasn’t been long before it is in the initial stage…” Zhang Zhitong, who had the least sense of existence in the base management committee, also spoke. .

In every meeting, he almost didn’t say anything. He always sat there. Xie Kai knew nothing but his name and knew that his position belonged to logistics.

By the way, the base trade union and everything are under his control.

Relatively speaking, they are much younger than Zheng Yucheng and others.

Sun Yucheng, Yue Lin and the others didn’t know the inside story, they just looked at Xie Kai, Wang Guilin and others.

Xie Jianguo also looked at Xie Kai with a look of confusion.

To hold such a meeting today is indeed a bit off guard.

Xie Kai also looked at Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin, the two old guys, and didn’t object, just watch them make a fuss.

This is obviously because the two old guys have selfish intentions, saying that they are discussing, calling everyone in the military field, and there is not one in the civilian field.

No, there is no one who is in charge of civilian products. Dad Xie Jianguo is mainly in charge of the field of civilian products.

Is Xie Jianguo a representative?

A person in charge of civil products who always wants to go back to be his technician and engage in fire control systems!

“Comrade Jianguo, you are the person in charge of civilian products. Tell me your opinion.” Zheng Yucheng directly named Xie Jianguo.

Xie Jianguo did not expect that Zheng Yucheng would burn the fire on himself.

He didn’t know why he mentioned this suddenly.

Shouldn’t it be to convene a meeting to discuss the work arrangements for the upcoming core machine project?

Everyone’s eyes are on Xie Jianguo.

Xie Jianguo was staring at Xie Kai, not knowing what kind of moth this young and old man had.

I’ve been named, and I can’t speak without speaking.

“Since the initial construction, 404 has been a military industrial unit. The current national strategic focus is economic construction, scientific research, and no money…” Xie Jianguo said a lot, almost unable to hear his thoughts from his words. “Our unit now has a lot of civilian products, and it doesn’t bring much profit every year…”

Xie Kai was stunned when he heard the mandarin words of the old man.

When did Dad become so smooth?

It stands to reason that the old man should be clear in his mind that civilian products will be the main source of profit when there are few military orders.

Without the support of civilian product profits, there are not too many orders for military products, and the state allocates funds? That doesn’t even exist, so how can we do technology research and development?

“Do you mean to continue to engage in military products?” Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Jianguo.

Xie Kai rolled his eyes directly.

Old guy, want to use his father to suppress himself.

Xie Jianguo didn’t expect Zheng Yucheng to be like this. He looked at his son and just saw Xie Kai roll his eyes.

“Military products must be made, and civilian products must be made.” Xie Jianguo is totally innocent on both sides.

Now it was Zheng Yucheng’s turn to roll his eyes.

Saying it is equivalent to not saying it.

It’s not awesome at all.

Others once again stated that their focus should be military products.

At present, all 404 projects are ahead of other domestic fraternal units. Once the civilian products are the mainstay, all military projects have to make way for economic development, and they will return to the same way.

“Xie Kai, tell me what you think…” Zheng Yucheng and other people all expressed their objections before pretending to ask Xie Kai seriously.

There is a smile hidden on his face, and the meaning revealed in his eyes is obvious-you see, everyone is against it, no one wants to engage in folk products, even Xie Jianguo has such an attitude…

Xie Kai didn’t want to pay attention to Zheng Yucheng, this old guy was completely shameless.

These issues do not need to be considered too much.

No money, but also a fart military industry.

“I didn’t want to say anything. Since Director Zheng asked, let me talk about my views.” Xie Kai organized the language and looked at the people staring at him. “I will ask everyone a question first. Without money, let’s How does the scientific research continue?”

“Isn’t the profit of military products very high? We made so much before.” Yang Qian looked at Xie Kai.

I don’t understand why Xie Kai asked this question.

Everyone else thinks this way.

The profit of 404 selling arms is tens of billions.

“The core machine project, burn more money, everyone knows. But this time is good, the Ministry of Industry will help us bear some of the funds, we need to spend only 4-6 billion. Everyone, this is just a core machine project, the warplane The engine is just…” Xie Kai scanned the crowd.

Obviously, no one knows.

“In the existing projects in our base, whether it’s a stealth fighter or an aircraft carrier, there are not tens of billions, and it can’t be done. Anyway, I can’t continue to fool who sells arms. Silly Damu and Khomeini will not fight. It’s…”
