Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 46

Hidetoshi Nakamura looked at Komatsu Dorje’s disdainful expression and shook his head hurriedly, “Komatsu-kun, you have misunderstood what I meant.”

Dorje Komatsu looked at him without speaking, playing with the wine glass in his hand.

“Your business is for the Chinese civilian market, and what we are negotiating with is the military’s needs. In terms of business, there is no conflict of interest between the two parties. At least, not now!” Nakamura hurriedly explained.

Mitsubishi Construction Machinery has just started in China, and even belongs to the Mitsubishi Group’s CNC system cooperation additional conditions, otherwise it will not be able to compete with the Komatsu Group, which has always cooperated with China.

China can currently afford imported excavators, and then the government and the military.

“Komatsu-kun, the Chinese market is huge. Their infrastructure is backward. Now the government continues to increase investment in infrastructure, and there is a huge demand for construction machinery. It is impossible for any company to swallow all the markets!” Masao Yoshikawa also spoke.

Nakamura nodded, “Yes, so there is a great possibility of cooperation between our two sides. As long as we work together, we can completely prevent South Korean and American construction machinery from entering the Chinese market…”

Dorje Komatsu’s eyes lit up involuntarily.

He knows better than anyone how huge the demand for construction machinery in the Chinese market is. Because of this, while providing technology to China, they also requested to join China’s construction machinery manufacturers in the form of technology shares.

In this way, you can get a larger market share and get more profits.

Even so, the Komatsu Group cannot capture the entire Chinese market. The demand for construction machinery in the Chinese market is too huge.

Why is China so big?

“South Korea’s Samsung, Hyundai, etc., have always wanted to enter the Chinese market. At present, China is limited to the problem of foreign exchange reserves and the import volume is too small… Your technology is what they urgently need, plus they need our other technologies. Put pressure on the Chinese side…” Nakamura brought out his thoughts, “In this way, we will give us the share that you can’t eat, and stop Koreans from coming in…”

“I need to report this matter to the board of directors.” Komatsu Dorjee answered lightly.

He is sure to persuade the board of directors, otherwise, the board will not send him to China. The key depends on what benefits Mitsubishi offers.

Komatsu Dorje has not been in China for a long time, and the results achieved are not small.

China needs Komatsu’s excavator technology, which makes it possible to realize the various harsh conditions he put forward.

“Cheers!” Komatsu took the initiative to raise his glass, “for our possible cooperation.”

When several RB people celebrated, in Dongfeng City, thousands of kilometers away from the northern capital, Long Yaohua was stunned looking at the drawing in his hand.

“Is this a tank? Or rather, an excavator modified by a tank?” Long Yaohua did not expect that Hongqi Machinery Factory would have such an idea.

“Chief, this is the military excavator from the chassis of the 59 tank, specially designed for the domestic engineering troops! In this way, it can have the maneuverability and off-road capability of the tank; it can also be used for domestic service for decades and will soon be retired. The 59 tanks found a way out, there is no need to scrap them, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to dismantle…” Xie Jianguo borrowed his son’s words to explain.

Zheng Yucheng was also helping out, “Old dragon, in this way, the military can use the retired 59 tanks to obtain part of the funds to develop or equip more advanced tanks…”

“The advantage is not only that, not importing allows the country to use limited foreign exchange for the introduction of more important technical equipment… The military tank engine has strong power. After the turret and armor are removed, the fuel consumption is lower and the power performance is better… ”

“For engineering troops, there is no need to consider the issue of leaks. The price will even be lower than imported ones!”

Xie Jianguo and Zheng Yucheng sang together, which made Long Yaohua’s mind more active.

The military is short of money, and a large number of old 59 tanks have been used for too long. At least they need to be improved to increase their combat effectiveness, but the military has no money.

Complete decommissioning is impossible. The military does not have much funding to equip new tanks. Moreover, the performance of the newest type 79 main battle tank in China is far from the advanced tanks in the world.

“Chief, I have a new fire control system design plan here. If it is developed, it will more than double the combat performance of our Type 59 main battle tank. At the same time, this fire control system can also be used for new fire control systems. In the main battle tank…” Seeing that Long Yaohua did not speak, Xie Jianguo also handed over the revised fire control system design in order to increase the bargaining chip.

Zheng Yucheng, who was on his side, gave him a thumbs up.

“Fire control system?” Long Yaohua was even more interested.

On the first day here, I heard Xie Kai say that his father spent more than ten years designing and improving the tank fire control system.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

These days, I was busy learning about the situation at the base and forgot about it.

As a person in the logistics department, you must first consider the combat capability of the support force.

“This is a design plan. Here is a preliminary design drawing. It still needs some modifications and detailed design. Although it does not reach the fire control performance of the American M1 tank, it is not much worse than the Soviet T80 fire control system. There is a detailed description in the design plan…” Xie Jianguo felt a little nervous.

He does not intend to continue to be a technician.

Hearing what he said, Zheng Yucheng was both happy and helpless. He wanted to ask Xie Jianguo who would be responsible for changing the tank to the excavator.

In front of the military personnel, he couldn’t ask.

You can’t let military personnel see that there are contradictions within them, right?

He felt that after he came down, he should have a good talk with Xie Jianguo.

“These are your ideas?” Long Yaohua didn’t look at the fire control design of the tank, but flipped through the design plan described in the text.

The more I look at the smile on my face, the more obvious it becomes.

I have been to the base for several days, and I have always been depressed by all kinds of bad news, and I finally see the sunrise after the clouds are lifted.

“Most of them were designed by me. When I was in the Soviet Union, I saw only their T54 main battle tank. I heard about the design of the T64, but I don’t know the details… Others were made based on various technological developments. Lasers. The collimator, infrared imaging, low-light night vision device, etc., were proposed by Xie Kai…” Xie Jianguo not only wants to make progress, but also takes credit for his son.

He knew that the military had a very bad impression of Xie Kai.

Xie Kai used to ask for money in front of the military, for benefits. In the school, let Long Yaohua and others take the blame. The impact was very bad, and the negative impact must be eliminated.

If you can’t go to college in the future, you can still have the military’s special recruitment as a back.

Xie Jianguo is completely paving the way for her son.

Long Yaohua was surprised, “Comrade Xiao Xie also has research on fire control systems?”

“The chief, whether it is a numerical control system or a tank’s fire control system, although they have completely different uses, they also have the same characteristics: they all use the computing power of the computer for data processing…” Zhao Xingbang was also secretly surprised.

Xie Jianguo, the son, is incredible.

“Children are too skinny, and if they spend time in these areas all day, they can’t keep up with their academic performance.” Xie Jianguo explained seemingly casually.

Long Yaohua glanced at him, and said nothing about special tricks.

Xie Kai’s consciousness really impressed him too deeply.

Special recruitment into the military might ruin the child, and even cause even worse negative effects on the military.

“Jianguo, why did Xie Kai participate in this fire control system again?” Zheng Yucheng was also curious.

In my heart, I made a decision. In any case, Xie Kai has to be left. The military wants special tricks?

Let them wait first.

“The picture was made in his spare time and kept at home. He has watched it since he was a child…” Xie Jianguo’s explanation made it clear to others why Xie Kai is so familiar with various designs.

What has been shown so far does not deviate from the scope of the automation system.

“We will keep this design plan first, and report it to the superior after we go back.” Long Yaohua changed the subject. “How long will it take for the 59 tank to change the excavator?”

“At most half a year!” Xie Jianguo thought for a while, all he needed to design was the hydraulic system.

But Zheng Yucheng didn’t think so, and hurriedly said, “Three months! Up to three months. If domestic excavator manufacturers can support our technology, I think one month should be enough!”

“Director Zheng!” Xie Jianguo was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. “This is just a preliminary plan.”

When talking about time, why didn’t Zheng Yucheng guard against him?

“We will leave tonight, go back and report to the superiors, and we will reply when we have the results.” Long Yaohua no longer said, “Whether it is an electromagnetic bomb or a modification of the tank fire control system, it is to improve national defense capabilities. Indispensable. As for excavators with better performance, they are also needed domestically. I can’t make a decision privately on all this. I personally support it.”

“Old dragon, personal support is not enough, you have to support from your superiors.” Zheng Yucheng said with a sad face.

Personal support is useless, the military does not support it, and there is no money.

“You have also seen the situation of our base. It’s up to you to survive…” Zheng Yucheng wanted Long Yaohua to give an affirmative answer.

These are three projects.

It’s done, the funds are enough for them to toss for a while.

A few more projects will come out and more funds will be spent.

“I really can’t call the shots on this matter. You should know that 627 is the big brother in tank research and production, and even 541 is stronger than your 404 base!” Long Yaohua was helpless.

There are some things he can’t say. The 627 factory is even preparing for the introduction of technology.

“At least, you have to help with the military excavator. There are more than 20,000 cadres and employees in the base, plus their family members, and tens of thousands of mouths are waiting to eat… Otherwise, you will find a way to find the receiving unit for them. People are all capable forces mobilized by the military from various factories across the country. If the base is no longer needed, the military cannot ignore them…”

Looking at Zheng Yucheng’s rogue appearance, the anger in Long Yaohua’s heart was unable to break out.

Tens of millions of people in the military system are waiting to eat!

“Director Zheng, isn’t the train broken on the road…” Xie Jianguo reminded Zheng Yucheng.

“What? The train is broken?” Long Yaohua was about to vomit blood.
