Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1188

“Start a war? It’s impossible, right? They just ended the war with the Persians.” Zheng Yucheng didn’t believe Xie Kai’s words even more.

Although the scale of Iraq’s equipment is huge, the military’s combat effectiveness is not as strong as imagined.

If we switch to the People’s Liberation Army to fight such a war, it is estimated that the war would have ended long ago. How could it be possible to fight for eight years?

“That’s their business. If there is a war, we will have more opportunities to sell equipment, don’t we? In the absence of war, without such high-quality customers, our greatest potential customer is the domestic military. At present, the domestic military The equipment is lagging a lot, and replacing equipment is something that the future military must do. This will have a very huge demand.” Xie Kai said.

No longer pay attention to the shit of the big dogs in the Middle East.

Even if Iraq launches the Kuwait War, it does not have the money to buy more weapons and equipment. Even when the United States wants to deal with them, it is impossible to order advanced weapons and equipment on a large scale. It is too late. They also have no money.

The domestic refurbishment is the biggest customer of 404’s weapons and equipment in the future.

“There will be news in the last few days. The core machine will have a meeting tomorrow, will you go?” Wang Guilin asked Xie Kai.

Xie Kai shook his head.

If it was their original plan, they would definitely go.

Now that the Ministry of Industry is taking the lead, he can’t change anything after he goes. Anyway, he has confidence in Shen Hong, a big man. Since he has done it, he can wait at most.

Instead of doing this, it is better to go to school for a few days.

The time that happened in history is getting closer and closer. The foreign spies were wiped out last year. Whether it will change or not, Xie Kai doesn’t know.

At present, it is most suitable to be low-key.

I go to school every day. I spend my time at home with my daughter-in-law and tease my children when there is no class, and experience a feeling that I haven’t experienced in decades in my life. Many times, Xie Kai feels that it’s better to just stay with the daughter-in-law and watch the child grow up. It’s pretty good.

Imagination is beautiful, and what he should do is absolutely inevitable.

“The tank race is about to start?” It was April, Xie Kai watched his son’s growth and Mo Qi’s complete recovery, and even the whole person rounded up, almost forgetting the existence of 404.

As a result, before enjoying a few days of good time, Zheng Yucheng sent his assistant Yang Xiaodong to inform Xie Kai that the competition between the 359 and the 88 main battle tank will be held in a test field in the north three days later.

At that time, there will be not only some high-ranking military generals watching, but also some high-ranking military officials abroad.

Yang Xiaodong looked at Xie Kai and nodded, “Director Zheng and they are very worried about the situation after this competition.”

“What’s to worry about? Don’t they have confidence in the performance of the 359 tank?” Xie Kai was puzzled.

The performance of the 359 tank is comparable to top tanks such as the M1 and Leopard-2, except that the tonnage is much less, so there is almost no need to consider too much.

“The price of our tanks is too expensive.” Yang Xiaodong has almost watched Xie Kai’s power in the base increase over the years.

Fortunately, Xie Kai took the initiative to withdraw, and did not even intervene in the establishment of the civilian product department of the base.

“This is a problem, let’s talk about it later.” Xie Kai sighed, unable to avoid it at all.

Now 617 is also staring at the military’s order. They know that once the 404 wins the competition, they will eventually lose the military’s most advanced tank order. The annual orders will not be too big, thirty or forty vehicles will be the sky, but this is related to hundreds of millions of expenses.

Xie Kai bid farewell to Mo Qi and his son, and set off with Yang Xiaodong to the tank test site in the north.

“Brother Yang, I rarely see you now.” Going to the northern tank test site and taking a train, the journey is boring. Xie Kai and Yang Xiaodong are not very familiar with each other, so they just look for topics to chat with Yang Xiaodong.

Yang Xiaodong looked at Xie Kai, “It’s because I rarely see you. Usually you don’t have enough time to go back to the base. I was transferred to the drone project to learn…”

Yang Xiaodong told Xie Kai about his situation.

Xie Kai immediately became interested. “The drone project is the most promising project in our base. The focus of the future, Lao Zheng, is the focus of cultivating you.”

Compared with Zheng Yucheng’s first secretary, Lu Yang, Xie Kai likes Xie Kai a lot.

Later, Zhu Mingguang was not bad, and was quickly released due to lack of manpower in the base.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

These belong to the backbone of the future management of the base.

“The drone is meaningless…” Yang Xiaodong looked distressed, “At most it is used as a target…”

Xie Kai didn’t bother to reason with him.

Yang Xiaodong doesn’t understand how important drones are in the future. Let alone super-high-speed fighters, the pilot’s body cannot withstand the huge overload generated at several times the speed of sound, and can only be remotely controlled by unmanned means. remote control.

In reconnaissance, combat and other aspects, the role of drones has gone far.

“By the way, Brother Yang, how exactly do you do this tank race?” Xie Kai simply changed the subject.

I don’t want to discuss drones with Yang Xiaodong, an inexperienced person, and move on to the upcoming tank competition, let Yang Xiaodong come to find himself, sure that this competition will limit the performance of 359 tanks.

“The rules are provided by the people of 617. We don’t have much experience in tank testing or performance testing. The plan proposed by 617 is mainly in terms of mobility, firepower, and defensive capabilities. According to our base tank team Analysis, in terms of maneuverability, ours is worse; the pitch angle of the tank gun ranges from -10°~20°, which is also stronger than ours…”

Yang Xiaodong introduced what he knew to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai is a little confused. Isn’t this in the drone team?

Why do you know this so much?

“I am also serving as Director Zheng’s secretary. As for the drone, the team is still in the preparation period.” When Xie Kai asked her doubts, Yang Xiaodong explained, “The base military project has been adjusted, and the drone has been adjusted. Research in this area will slow down.”

It made Xie Kai happy for nothing.

He is shooting himself in the foot by lifting a rock, and asking for restrictions on some projects that will not be effective in the short term. It is strange that drone projects are not affected.

Xie Kai didn’t even think about what to change, and it was okay if the progress slowed down.

Anyway, the technology is not very mature now, the better the base management, the better.

“Hit a fixed tank target?” Xie Kai was a little upset.

Isn’t this the advantage of limiting the 359 tank?

“Yes. Not only the tanks have to target, but also the parallel machine guns. The anti-aircraft machine guns also have to target… It is said that there are many potential customers visiting this time.” Yang Xiaodong obviously knows a lot. “Director Zheng and they have rushed to negotiate first, but I don’t know what the specific result will be.”

For so many years, 617 and 404 have competed in tanks. Naturally, we know the advantages of this old rival, which is a well-selling tank in the world.

The biggest selling point of the 359 tank is its fierce firepower, high first shot rate and thick skin.

The disadvantage is also obvious, the engine power is insufficient.

Designing competition projects for these schemes can completely prevent these advantages of the 359 tank from being used.

Those who watch the competition will only care about the result rather than the process, and will not consider whether the rules will give full play to the advantages of all tanks.

“Lao Zhao, you are too much. Everyone knows that our tank advantage is shooting in motion… Is it interesting for you to have a fixed target game? On the battlefield, the enemy tank will stop there and let you aim and fire “Zheng Yucheng didn’t expect that after two days of talking, there was no result.

The 617 people actually persuaded their superiors to agree to such a plan.

Zhao Yuming looked at Zheng Yucheng and smiled happily, “Lao Zheng, we are all prototype vehicles. The test is the firepower strength, etc., your 125mm tank gun has more firepower than our rifled gun, isn’t it?”

“Don’t be bullshit there, the standard configuration of the third-generation tanks is mobile shooting!” Zheng Yucheng was out of breath.

“The third-generation tanks have not yet begun to produce prototypes, and we are not making real third-generation tanks. What’s more, when the army equips tanks, not only the tank performance must be considered, but also the cost?” Zhao Yuming doesn’t care about Zheng Yucheng’s attitude.

After so many years of eating 404, I finally have a chance to breathe out.

Zheng Yucheng had no choice but to find Long Yaohua and others.

“This is the plan approved by the Armored Forces Department of the General Staff, and we can’t help it.” Long Yaohua was also helpless. “The price of your tanks scared the Armored Forces Department.”

With a tank of 20 million, the Armored Forces must not dare to consider armored units with too little funding at this time.

“Our tank advantage can’t be played out either.” Zheng Yucheng grumbled.

“The plan is not good, why didn’t you come up with it before? It’s all about the time now. If you want to change the plan, how can you do it?” Li Mingshan also couldn’t help it.

There is still a chance earlier.

Go to the armored department?

Zheng Yucheng had looked for it before, and it was useless.

When Xie Kai arrived here, it was already the first day of the competition.

“Is there any way? Although we don’t care, it’s not appropriate to lose, isn’t it?” Zheng Yucheng saw Xie Kai as if he had caught a life-saving straw.

“Let’s take a look at their tanks first.” Xie Kai is curious about how the Type 88 main battle tank has changed from the original history.

The tanks participating in the competition also arrived, with three tanks on both sides.

In the repair shop of the proving ground, there are two main battle tanks with different paintings. The 617 tank is traditional military green, and the 404 is the usual desert camouflage.

“Is this a Type 88 tank?” Xie Kai looked at the tank parked in the warehouse, a little weird.

“It’s Type 88? What’s the matter?” Zheng Yucheng was puzzled.

Isn’t 617 still good things?

The tank in front of me is similar in appearance to the 359. It is also a wedge-shaped turret with a square face, but the barrel is much shorter.

“1, 2…6, yes, there are 6 pairs of road wheels, not American guns?” Xie Kai was puzzled.

Obviously, this is not the Type 88 tank in his mind.

Although there are also 6 pairs of road wheels.

“What American gun?” Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai puzzledly, “This is a tank gun designed and improved after the introduction of technology from Britain.”
