Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1198

“Our domestic tanks are named Type 88 main battle tanks, and they are named 85II? Why! When you say it, everyone thinks they developed them.” Zheng Yucheng heard that their domestic tanks became Type 88 main battle tanks, suddenly Not happy anymore.

Those who don’t know the inside story thought it was the 88-style created by 617.

Wang Guilin was also a little unhappy.

617 This is taking advantage of the boss.

Even Xie Kai felt that the people of 617 were too much this time, their own 88 type garbage, and then let the 359 tank domestic sales model name this.

“The Type 88 main battle tank has not been finalized. It is still in the prototype stage of trial production. It is only called internally. Only such a finalized name can be installed in the army.” Long Yaohua said solemnly, “Your tank has already arrived like this. To the extent, the tank project Zhu Zong studied will be more advanced. At that time, the 88 will form a high and low match with the new model developed by Zhu Zong, as the main battle tank of our unit.”

In this way, if he still objected, Long Yaohua would have nothing to do.

The domestic 359 is named Type 88, which means that the superiors have valued this tank and are preparing to install troops.

“Chief, this price issue…” Xie Kai asked worriedly.

In the short term, their tanks and armored units are not of much benefit, but in the long run, this will be a signal for the slow reloading of domestic troops. The change-up process is likely to take up to several decades.

The 88-style improvement work will also be carried out slowly.

This is to obtain national scientific research funds. Even if the equipment is not much, for the 404, the continued improvement of this tank will be guaranteed, at best, the progress will be slower.

“7.5 million vehicles, the first batch of 80 vehicles, half of the special operations brigade, half of the capital garrison troops, two years of funding…” Long Yaohua knows what the 404 people value.

Just value money.

“Why is the chief of the army so generous? He actually gave up 7.5 million cars. It was painful not to have 5 million cars before?” Zheng Yucheng teased.

Wang Guilin looked at Long Yaohua, “Is there something inside?”

“The modification of 40 vehicles was originally ordered for the special operations brigade last year, and the funds have not been changed there; the other 40 vehicles were originally planned to be ordered for 617 with a battalion 88 main battle tank for combat testing… “Long Yaohua explained, “Domestic financial allocation is still 5 million, and we will supply you with the extra price. We will continue to equip you later, and the cost price must be suppressed to less than 5 million, otherwise there will be no more… ”

All of them looked at Long Yaohua with incredible expressions.

The Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will make up 200 million yuan to 404 in this order task!

“Money is also the profit you turned in for exporting equipment at the beginning, and the rest is subsidizing other domestic scientific research projects. If the production of 80 vehicles cannot reduce the cost, you will have to pay for it yourself!” Long Yaohua said calmly.

Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin didn’t care about it, but Xie Kai was shocked.

He had known Long Yaohua and others for so many years, and it seemed that he had only really met them for the first time.

I have always believed that superior leaders are very conservative and reluctant to spend money on equipment. They have always liked to use less money to obtain more technical results. The money from the small treasury is invested in scientific research, almost all of which is invested in the national budget. The appropriation is not approved by the superiors, and the military leaders feel that it is necessary to study the fields.

For example, in the aerospace field, the country’s fiscal budget is very small and there are many basic projects to be researched. There is definitely no way without money, and you can only raise funds yourself.

But this time, his understanding was subverted.

Although the price of the 359 tanks sold domestically is much lower than that of the M1 and Leopard-2 main battle tanks, it is less than half when converted into US dollars.

Comparing the military expenditures of China and the United States is the most obvious. China’s military expenditures are about 6.3 billion U.S. dollars and the U.S. military expenditures are more than 120 billion…

I originally thought that the above was not interested in advanced and expensive new equipment, but now I know that it is not the case at all.

“The superiors don’t need to subsidize us. After the allocation is reduced, even if the military only uses the price of 5 million yuan, even if the cost is about 7.5 million yuan, we can still bear the loss.” Zheng Yucheng sighed.

They all understand this.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

In 404, there were no orders for foreign trade equipment, and it began to ask profits from the civilian product field to support military technology research.

“The meaning is obvious, let us not neglect our business, civilian products can be done, military products research can not be interrupted. Don’t turn all the focus on civilian products for profit at that time.” Wang Guilin’s tone is also a bit heavy.

At present, the military’s orders are too lagging behind the domestically-made equipment due to the shift of strategic focus, and almost all of the changes are experimental in nature.

There are few orders, and a large number of military-industrial units will either transform or go bankrupt because there are no orders.

This is very worrying.

Although the possibility of war is becoming less and less, what if a war breaks out?

Xie Kai was also surprised when he heard the words of the two old guys. After thinking about it, he felt normal.

“What’s the matter with you going back directly?” There was nothing wrong with himself in the base, and he was reorganizing internally now, and he didn’t want to go back.

“Let’s go with us, we still have something to resolve in the capital. By the way, Nigeria may have an idea to purchase the 053 ship.” Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai and said.

Xie Kai shook his head, “Nigeria is less likely to purchase the 053 ship than the National People’s Congress of Argentina.” Xie Kai shook his head, “Although their country’s economy has grown a lot with the increase in oil production over the years, it can’t support it.”

Nigeria does not have the arrogance of the second largest economy in Africa.

What’s more, Nigeria has always purchased weapons and equipment from European and American countries. After all, the United Kingdom is the largest investor in Nigeria. There are millions of British nationals in Nigeria. Even their relationship with the Soviet Union is better than with China.

Originally, Xie Kai also expected to sell some weapons and equipment to Nigeria, but now that thought faded away.

“Argentina does have ideas, but they need to owe debt…” Zheng Yucheng is also not interested in them.

Customers who can’t give cash transactions are not good customers.

As a 404 looking towards money, under such circumstances, it is natural not to show much enthusiasm to these customers who have no money.

Who makes all 404’s weapons and equipment expensive?

“How about the internal reorganization of the base?” For such a long period of time, with the intervention of high-level military officials, it should be easier to reorganize. The way back was boring, Xie Kai became curious and asked.

“That’s it.” Zheng Yucheng gritted his teeth when he said this.

Xie Kai is restricting their rights, how can they be comfortable.

“But that’s fine. At least there is no need to grant them special research funds like before.” Wang Guilin said with a smile, “Some of the management personnel are already in place, but there are still some that can’t adapt to the model of our base.”

“This is normal. In other units, technical personnel are arranged by managers. On our side, on the contrary, the status of technical personnel is higher than that of managers. It is not so easy for managers who do not understand technology to do their jobs.” Xie Kai said with a smile.

He can imagine that managers transferred from other units found that the 404 scientific researchers were not so good at talking, and it was normal to arrange jobs for managers in many cases, and it was normal for them not to adapt.

Outside management personnel are not suitable, and the technical research and development personnel of the base are not suitable either.

The two sides will definitely need to get in touch with each other, which requires a long process.

“About the Paris Air Show, how are the arrangements?” Xie Kai asked the two after learning about the reorganization of the base, “This is a huge opportunity. Through the Paris Air Show, we can tell the whole world that China can It’s not just cheap and expensive weapons produced with backward performance.”

The Paris Air Show may be the only international air show they will participate in.

The Zhuhai Air Show will not start until 1996.

In the next few years, the international situation will change greatly, the Gulf War is about to break out, and the Soviet Union is about to disintegrate.

The United States and Western countries have established good relations with China to allow China to hold back the Soviet Union. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the technical cooperation and exchanges between China and the West will be completely ended.

Under such circumstances, participating in the Zhuhai Air Show will benefit not only the 404, but also the reputation of Chinese equipment.

During the Gulf War, the Chinese Type 59 tanks equipped by Iraq were used as targets by American ground attack aircraft without air superiority. In the end, it was not only the tanks purchased by Iraq in China, but also the heavy Chinese weapons that were destroyed. The reputation of the equipment.

Since then, China has hardly received many export orders for heavy weapons and equipment.

The only export is the traditional trading partner of Pakistan.

Even the weapons and equipment purchased by Pakistan from China are classified as low-end, and their high-end weapons are still purchased from the United States.

“I went to the capital to solve this problem. We can’t solve it in the next paragraph.” Wang Guilin made Xie Kai feel at ease.

The Paris Air Show, they value it more than anyone else.

“This guy Mubara is a bit abnormal this time. Did you look for you before?” Xie Kai thought of Mubara, but couldn’t figure out what bad water the old guy was holding.

“No. It is estimated that we will have the idea of ​​our new tank technology.” Zheng Yucheng also became vigilant.

When several people were talking about Mubara, Mubara was wondering how to speak to China and get 359 upgrade technology for free.

Although he knew it was difficult, it was difficult and he had to do it.

“General Carlos, are you dissatisfied with our tank?” On the returning car, Li Mingshan sat in a car with the Argentine.

There are too many people, and there are not enough helicopters in the country. You need to go to the nearby field airport to take a plane.

The Argentines have never expressed any opinions, but watched silently, and the accompanying staff kept recording something.

Carlos is in his early fifties, not tall, and he feels capable.

Hearing Li Mingshan’s question, he smiled and said, “We can’t afford your most advanced one, but we don’t like the other one.”
