Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1178

“Under such circumstances, his abilities are indeed inadequate.”

Xie Jianguo did not expect that Xie Kai would propose so many solutions.

Neither one is easy to do.

What’s more, to solve these problems currently encountered by the base, everything must be done.

Once the reform has just started, the entire base management committee is on the opposite side of all the current project R&D teams, and Xie Kai can’t bear such pressure.

“Indeed, this requires communication with too many units, and it will also offend too many people.” Zheng Yucheng is not euphemistic at all. “The situation we have caused, let us solve it.”

“The specific plan, I have already said. Moreover, the introduction of a monitoring mechanism for the base will not easily cause such problems in the future. However, you heads, the 404 project autonomy and self-financing are still needed. The regulatory agency, Can’t intervene in base management…” Xie Kai worries that the introduction of too many constraints will affect the development of the base at that time.

Long Yaohua also knows that without supervision, the chaos of 404 will become more and more serious, causing irreparable losses; and if supervision is not done well, it will also affect development.

“Didn’t you propose that some projects apply for national financial appropriations?” Li Mingshan was a little puzzled. “Applying for financial appropriations will definitely be included in supervision, and there will be no more project autonomy.”

He didn’t know what Xie Kai thought.

404 doesn’t look at financial allocations, they all know it.

Xie Kai wants to introduce supervision, and also applies for national financial appropriation, and also needs project autonomy.

There is almost no possibility.

“Chief, some advanced technologies, cutting-edge technologies that the state prohibits from exporting, it is better to apply for funding.” Xie Kai said.

Everyone looked at him.

Most of 404’s project research and development are for export. Is Xie Kai so honest?

“The 359 tanks that were exported to domestic sales cost 20 million yuan!”

This alone caused Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan to take a breath.

Li Mingshan even squinted at Xie Kai, “This is your goal? A tank is 20 million! Why don’t you say that it will cost 20 million US dollars?”

He was unhappy.

Really unhappy.

404 people, too much.

The price of tanks can reach 20 million. Is this going to bankrupt the military or want to follow this reason to sell advanced technology and equipment that is prohibited from export?

“Chief, if you look at the three 359 tanks, you can understand why they are so expensive. What are the three generations of tanks in the full sense, and the performance is not much different from the top tanks in the world.” Xie Kai reads from their expressions. Seen in shock.

Not to mention that the military leaders have never equipped such expensive tanks. Even Xie Kai, who knew the cost of top tanks, was shocked to speak after hearing Zhang Deming’s report.

Advanced is advanced, but at this price…

“You take a break first, and strive to refine the management plan as soon as possible.” Long Yaohua felt that the meeting could no longer continue.

Let’s take a look at the tank we made.

The main role of the Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is to organize and manage national defense science, technology and industry plans. Advanced science and technology are naturally needed, but under this situation, the advanced equipment produced is a bit painful for Long Yaohua.

Especially when several people from the Technical Bureau of the General Staff heard this price, their cheeks kept beating.

Xie Kai took a few people to the armored vehicle test workshop on the edge of the base. After several days of testing, the three tanks returned to the production line for inspection and maintenance.

When Xie Kai brought a group of big men into the workshop, Zhang Deming held a drawing in his hand and said something to Mr. Zhu next to him. Seeing that so many leaders came over without saying hello, he hurriedly greeted him.

They were still wondering why Zheng Yucheng hadn’t come.

Mr. Zhu has not left yet, which makes Xie Kai unclear about his purpose.

“It’s nothing special, how can the cost increase so much?” a person from the Technical Bureau of the General Staff asked questioningly.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

For the wedge-shaped turret of the 359 tank, these people are no longer surprised.

After all, the 359 tank has been in existence for many years, and it has even been put into actual combat on the battlefield in the Middle East. It is no stranger.

The Type 88 tank also uses this type of turret, which looks much more advanced than the original Type 79 hemispherical cast turret.

Without waiting for Zhang Deming and the others to explain, Mr. Zhu took the lead and said with a smile, “The high cost of this tank is invisible to the naked eye. You can look inside…”

He actively introduced to these acquaintances.

The original three-generation tanks already had a plan, but at this time, Mr. Zhu changed his mind.

Let’s see if the leaders of the army can accept such expensive tanks.

The expenses were more than three times the original budget, and even the original budget was determined by gritted teeth.

The original instruments and pointers inside have been reduced a lot, and even the switches have become much more comfortable. There are electronic displays everywhere, and the three large display screens are even more eye-opening for these leaders.

“The armor materials are the latest scientific research results. The innermost basic armor is high-strength alloy steel; the outer layer is composite armor with ceramic materials…”

It was not until the leaders saw the internal situation that Zhang Deming gave a specific introduction.

Most of the people who came were experts, and it was not that they didn’t understand these technologies.

They had no idea how such technology could be integrated into a tank by crazy guys like 404 so quickly.

“I knew this, there was no need to cooperate with Americans in the 88-style.” A colonel said.

After Long Yaohua and the others learned about the specific performance, they did not show the joyful expressions of others, but their mood became heavy.

Even Li Mingshan was not happy.

As the head of the General Logistics Department, Li Mingshan really has a headache.

This time it’s not that Xie Kai wanted to make a wild price. After reading the information inside, he learned about the specific technical configuration and measured the actual domestic production level. Knowing that the price of 20 million is really a cost price.

In the workshop, the general staff and the general staff all showed a keen interest in these tanks.

They don’t care about the price at all, but are studying the effects that the technology used on this equipment can have on national defense.

As for the cost, let the higher chiefs have a headache.

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan stood beside them, looking at the tanks on the production line with complicated thoughts.

“Chief, this is the consequence of the lack of supervision of the project. Originally, the troops put forward performance indicators and also gave prices…” Xie Kai previously mentioned the cost of tanks not to ask for funds from above, but to make Long Yaohua aware of scientific research. What are the consequences if the project is out of supervision? “This situation does not only appear in tank projects, but also in warship projects and fighter aircraft projects…”

Long Yaohua looked at Xie Kai, “Isn’t this what you have been pursuing before?”

“Other units are reducing their investment in research and development. It’s better for you. On the contrary, you don’t care about the cost at all.” Li Mingshan looked melancholy.

Such tanks cannot be equipped.

With the development of the country’s economy, the military budget, which has not grown or even decreased in the previous years, has finally increased a bit this year, reaching 25 billion. If converted into U.S. dollars, it has actually been reduced.

The military expenditure has not increased. The reason for this increase is because inflation has increased and it has to be increased!

Of the 25 billion military expenditures, 200 million of which is for the purchase of tanks for the special operations brigade. This is something that has been discussed before.

Another 200 million is to purchase a battalion of new tanks for combat testing.

Well now, such a tank caused a funding gap of more than 600 million!

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t invite a few chiefs to come here in person.” Xie Kai looked at Li Mingshan with helplessness. “Technical personnel want to challenge higher technical difficulty, it is their responsibility. Only by continuous challenge, technology will continue to advance. The biggest problem is that there is no supervision. In the technology development unit that cooperates with us, such things have not happened. Yes, just because we have a dedicated monitoring team for the use of funds…”

Xie Kai told Long Yaohua about this to them alone, hoping that they would take it seriously.

404 has reached its current level. Once a problem occurs, no one can accept the consequences.

Now only through the intervention of superiors to restrict the rights of several directors of the management committee, at least in terms of scientific research funding, it can no longer be consumed like this without supervision.

Technology development has indeed been achieved, but what about the funding?

The high-level military has been prepared from the beginning. Once the 404 has achieved results and funds are insufficient, the military will transfuse the 404’s scientific research projects to ensure continued continuity in the high-tech field.

Now that the situation continues to develop, the annual amount of funding for the Israeli military is simply not enough.

“There is no problem with supervision. The original policies will not be taken back. With so many projects in your base, do you want to dismount some of them?” Li Mingshan asked.

Zheng Yucheng and their behavior, the above said that they don’t know, it is obvious that no one would believe it.

The country dismantled too many top military scientific research projects in the past few years.

Without money, you can’t get off the horse.

404 picked up projects that some countries did not have excess funds invested.

It’s impossible for the kid Xie Kai to not know at first.

Although initially opposed to intervening in the naval equipment project, but in the end it did not stop it, and instead went to Thailand to plan the Thai Navy’s aircraft carrier order.

To say that Xie Kai did not deliberately promote the transfer of aircraft carrier projects from pre-research to formal development, no one believes it.

Long Yaohua and the others have experienced countless winds and waves, but they couldn’t analyze the purpose of Xie Kai this time.

Zheng Yucheng and other management committees are the soul of 404, and they are almost obedient to Xie Kai. Xie Kai is the real soul of the 404 base.

“Honestly, what is the purpose?” Long Yaohua shouldn’t have asked this.

But he really wanted to know what Xie Kai’s purpose was.

Succession?

If Xie Kai wants to take over, even without them coming forward, Zheng Yucheng and the others have been planning this.
