Xie Kai's words made Long Yaohua, Li Mingshan and others even more uncertain.

Even if they knew, no one would say it to their faces.

Only in the face of those bastards abroad who have no one in their eyes can they say such things so arrogantly.

"This, let's come down and study it again, chief, if the military needs it, give us a quantity, and we will try to supply it at the lowest price that the troops can afford. Seeing this, Zheng Yucheng hurriedly spoke.

It's one thing to see Xie Kai unpleasant, and now I can't help but keep Xie Kai.

If the troops are poor and want advanced equipment, it will naturally lead to contradictions.

"Chief, there is actually a plan that can also solve the current contradictions. Xie Kai didn't appreciate it.

Li Mingshan asked unhappily, "What plan?"

From the bottom of his heart, he still hopes that the domestic troops can be equipped.

All along, it has been the elimination of domestic troops, at least weapons and equipment that are not advanced enough or equipment that is advanced but not suitable for use by domestic troops.

It turns out that it is now reversed.

Advanced equipment that cannot be used in China is a dead end except for export.

At least in the short term.

"Downgrade the configuration. For example, the defense capability adopts the original homogeneous armor instead of the expensive Chobham composite armor, and the computer system inside also retains only a small number of functions, reducing the number of targets to search and aim...... etc."

Li Mingshan's original face with hope was even more ugly.

"Are you completely despising the military's poverty?" Long Yaohua was so angry that his face turned white, and the sternness in his tone made the temperature in the entire conference room drop by several degrees.

The murderous aura cultivated from the battlefield, coupled with the majesty cultivated in a high position for many years, made Zheng Yucheng feel a little chill in his back.

Long Yaohua: This is on the verge of anger.

In addition, Xie Kai has always refused the military's special recruitment and is unwilling to enter the military academy, Long Yaohua has always been very dissatisfied with him.

To say this in front of so many people is an insult to the troops.

hurriedly gave Xie Kai a look, but the latter didn't seem to see it.

Qi Zhiyuan and Bai Yanjun pulled the corners of Xie Kai's clothes, and asked Xie Kai to hurry up.

Xie Kai didn't, but met Long Yaohua's gaze and kept his composure, "Chief, I'm not looking down on the troops. In the current national defense strategy, as well as in the national strategy, everything is to make way for economic development. Although the per capita expenditure of individual soldiers has increased somewhat after the disarmament, it has generally declined! Under such circumstances, we should all the more consider the future development of the armed forces. ”

"The future development of the army doesn't need you to think about it!" Long Yaohua's tone was cold.

For Xie Kai, he was too disappointed.

Disliking the poor and loving the rich, greed and selfishness, which are almost invisible in the military industrial system, are all vividly manifested in Xie Kai.

"Chief, I really don't need to think about it. It's just that when we were developing the 359 tank, we had a position. Just because we don't need it now doesn't mean we won't need it in the future. And now that it is not needed, it is naturally impossible to invest in R&D...... In this case, wouldn't you be engaged in technology, or wait for the funds allocated by the higher authorities to study slowly?" Xie Kai was not angry.

Why Long Yaohua has baby teeth, he knows better than anyone else.

"At the beginning, the chief was in favor of the 404 base as a pilot for the reform of the military industrial system, and helped the base to ask the superior head for project autonomy. Isn't it just so that we can feed a large group of people in the base and develop independently to promote the rapid development of military equipment technology when the superiors can't provide too much financial support?" Xie Kai's words made Long Yaohua's anger slowly subside.

Even Li Mingshan looked at him twice.

The murderous aura in his eyes has also subsided a lot.

"Boy, I want to see what you say to convince us today. Li Mingshan said.

"Chief, the troops are carrying out the national defense policy of strategic defense, and the chances of fighting a war in a short period of time are getting smaller and smaller, so in the early stage, there is no need to invest too much money in upgrading weapons and equipment that are not advanced. A small amount of new equipment will be replaced and provided to the troops for training and combat training, and more will be invested in the research and development of key new equipment and technology. Xie Kai said this, paused, and looked at the reaction of Long Yaohua and the others.

"As long as the country's economy improves, the national defense budget will increase, and when the time comes, the troops will have money and want to be equipped with advanced equipment, will they continue to wait? Wait for that time to make a big investment? How many years will the troops have to wait?"

"If we continue to study it now, if the troops need it, there will be advanced equipment available, and the national defense strength will be rapidly improved. ”

Xie Kai's words made everyone fall silent.

At present, the military has always wanted to strike a balance between scientific research investment and equipment upgrading and upgrading.

There is too little money and too much to invest.

Only part of it can be allocated to scientific research, and part of it is used for the slow upgrading of the equipment of the troops.

Most of the equipment of the troops is old-fashioned, new, and there is not much available.

"Wouldn't it be necessary to give up the upgrading of the troops' equipment?" Li Mingshan asked Xie Kai with a wry smile, "This way is not advisable. ”

"Anyway, there will be no war, a small number of troops will be equipped, so that the troops will get used to the new equipment. Once funds are available, they will be able to popularize it on a large scale throughout the army, and the new equipment will be directly installed, and the troops will soon be able to form combat effectiveness. ”

"If you don't want a war, won't you want national defense, and the army will be disbanded?" Zheng Yucheng interrupted Xie Kai with dissatisfaction and continued. "There are not many small countries in the world that don't have an army. ”

Pig teammates!

Xie Kai only had such thoughts.

Obviously on his own side, he actually stood on the opposite side.

"The existence of the army is to prepare for war. In times of peace, we must not forget that war can happen at any time. Forget the battle, you will be in danger!" Long Yaohua also said.

If a country as large as China had no army and no national defense, the consequences would ......

In the past, the Qing government's army was too poor, and its national defense strength was too poor, which eventually caused a century of humiliation in the land of China.

"If you don't go to a lot of equipment that is not advanced, it doesn't mean that you don't have it. If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and everyone knows that. Xie Kai said speechlessly, "If you don't have money, you must have a focus." Just like our country is now, we are focusing on infrastructure construction and economic development. Only when the economy is built and everyone has a better life can they devote more money to national defense. ”

"So, do you think the troops should use low-tech ones?"

"No, it's the opposite. Tanks were converted for training, not combat. The price of battle tanks is even higher!" Xie Kai said, "Of course, low-configuration training tanks also have combat capabilities, but they are weakened ......."

As he said at the beginning.

Reduces defense and weakens internal configurations.

"The tanks we sell, foreign countries will definitely know the detailed performance. Who would have thought that in fact, our performance is even worse? Just for the sake of the troops learning the use of advanced equipment under such conditions?" Xie Kai asked proudly.

This will save a lot of money for the country.

Long Yaohua and the others didn't expect Xie Kai to make such a suggestion at all.

"Even, if the configuration is reduced, especially the thickness of the armor, the pressure on the power system is even less. Tanks run faster and more, do not fight, and foreign countries will never know the real level of performance of our equipment. ”

"What if there is a war?"

Of course, the tanks produced in the early stage have reduced the thickness of the armor, but they retain the ability to change equipment, etc., and once they face war, they can quickly replace them with thicker armor...... Xie Kai did not think about it.

Anyway, there will be no possibility of war in the next few decades.

It is better to fool the military into investing more money in scientific research.

"Is this going to sing an empty city plan?" Long Yaohua's anger towards Xie Kai finally dissipated. "Perhaps, you should really go to the strategic research department. ”

"That's not going to work!" Before Xie Kai could refute, Zheng Yucheng objected. "The base can't be left unattended, right?"

"Chief, if the head of the army approves this plan, please give us a quantity, and we will calculate the price according to the situation. In addition to the cost, we only keep a small amount of profit...... "Xie Kai said.

There is no need to say too much about such a thing.

Only in this way can it be ensured that the supply of 359 tanks to the military will not lose money.

The tanks sold, especially those small countries with unstable national defense, Xie Kai did not dare to do this, once they were on the battlefield, they would die with one shot, and they would only smash the signboard in the end.

Xie Kai would not have proposed such a plan under any circumstances, even if it was to reduce other expensive electronic systems and equipment, he would not consider reducing armor and so on to reduce costs.

"Is your plan feasible?" After coming down, Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai.

"There's nothing that can't be done. The military does not have much money, and if they want to get tanks that are better than those for export, and they can't even afford to pay the cost price, can we still support this project? Xie Kai was helpless.

The plan is completely to achieve a balance, and the supply of tanks to the military does not affect the training and use of troops to improve combat capabilities, and at the same time, it also ensures that the 404 does not lose money.

"If there is a war, this will be ......," Qi Zhiyuan worried.

The outbreak of war was completely sudden.

Just like in World War II, Germany blitzed Poland, and Poland was almost powerless to fight back.

"We're not cheating, it's up to the chiefs to consider it, either buy the advanced version at full price, or the simplified version. Xie Kai said calmly. "Pakistan's two tanks, when will they start to leave?"

"The preparations are almost done. Wang Guilin replied to Xie Kai's words.

"They will wait until the performance of these two tanks is fully demonstrated before they make a decision. Xie Kai said, "Without affecting the travel and testing, we must not replace the problematic parts for the sake of good data." Otherwise, there is no point in limiting the test. ”
