Chapter Ninety-One: Feeling Less

"Be quiet, everyone, be quiet!"

"The question now is, how are we going to deal with this new technology company, and will we agree to their request for independent import and export?"

"How is it possible to agree to such a request!"

"That is, let him go today, and in the future, he will not have his own import and export rights, and then the country's aviation import and export management will be necessary!"

"So we just rejected the Air Force's request? Can the Air Force count on this new technology company to contribute to the F-14 localization project, and we can't ignore the meaning of the Air Force, right?"

"I think otherwise, let's check this Hu Wenhai. An individual has assets of more than 2 billion yuan, and there will be no problem in this? Where did he get this Viagra technology? Is it the technology stolen from a domestic research institute, who knows what's going on! The annual patent fee of one billion dollars, as well as the import of F-14, should have been our business, and I think we can all take it if this kid is brought down!"

"I agree!"

"I'll see it!"

"I think you can find Kong Lao from our aviation engineering department, you can't watch us being bullied, right?"

"Yes, at least the import rights of the F-14 should be taken back from the hands of the Air Force, and it is more reliable to hand over the introduction of aircraft to our Aviation Engineering Department!"

……

In the Air Force guest house, the entire fifth floor is now cordoned off. Fortunately, it is the army's own guest house, and the people who come and go are either the People's Liberation Army or people who have a relationship with the army. They have a little common sense of secrecy discipline, and they don't ask what they shouldn't ask, and even when the elevator passes through the fifth floor, people subconsciously keep their mouths shut.

The Air Force Reception House has seven floors, each floor has about 30 rooms, and the rooms on the fifth floor are slightly fewer, with only 24 standard rooms, but there is a large conference room of 100 square meters.

The door to the conference room at the end of the hallway was now tightly closed, and there were occasional quarrels inside.

Don't look at the conference room on the fifth floor, the area is not small, but after cramming in the small fifty people, it still looks a little crowded. If it weren't for the central exhaust of the conference room running at full power, it might have suffocated two people.

"Long-range fire strike unit, what model and level of artillery for the Iraqis?"

"It is mainly a Soviet-made 2S3 self-propelled howitzer with a caliber of 152 and a firing range of 18,500 meters, and the number of equipment is about 400. There are also about 100 French MKF3 self-propelled guns with a caliber of 155 and a firing range of 23,300 meters. ”

"The French MKF3 is a product of the 50s, right?

"What else can the artillery change? It is enough to change the engine, but the cannon does not have to be changed!"

"What about Mr. Hu's opinion?"

With this last question, everyone in the conference room turned their heads to look at Hu Wenhai, who was sitting at the top, waiting for his evaluation.

"Who said that it can't be changed, of course it can be changed!" Hu Wenhai's final decision is not easy to obtain, and whoever takes it out in this conference room is a figure who is famous in various industries, of course, it is impossible to easily convince anyone.

Hu Wenhai's prestige came from the fact that he repeatedly overturned their plans and put forward his own new plans. As a result, Hu Wenhai's various suggestions for transformation are indeed eye-catching and can have a higher fit with the so-called solution.

It is necessary to closely follow the theme of "system" warfare, so that the equipment included in the solution can have greater value than mechanized equipment.

"Please remember that any information about the combat unit is of the utmost importance and is a better solution to the problem of the quality of the Iraqi army. Hu Wenhai picked up the pen at hand, walked to the whiteboard behind him, found the entry for "Artillery Command Center", and began to draw branches.

"First of all, one of the tasks of artillery is to destroy the enemy's artillery units. In the information network, this is embodied in the reconnaissance force, and discovering battlefield information earlier than the enemy is a prerequisite for supporting oneself and destroying the enemy. The reconnaissance forces that we are able to provide to the Iraqi army have artillery sighting radars, high-altitude drones, laser ranging and locators. ”

"Artillery sighting radar can be used to record the firing position of enemy artillery units, high-altitude drones can detect the enemy's assembly movement before the enemy attacks through television and infrared sensing, and laser ranging positioning can be used to mark campaign and tactical targets that need to be cleared by artillery. But the most important thing is this artillery command automation system. All basic artillery units can upload their positions and status to the command center server through the positioning system. Reconnaissance units and infantry units can also upload targets to the command center server, which grades all information and displays it on the battlefield map system. ”

"The commander allocates and directs the firepower according to the campaign and tactical assumptions. The command center can know in real time the status of each basic artillery unit, deployed, moved or hidden, the traffic situation around it, and the logistics supply situation, and conduct command operations on this basis. After the commander gives the order, the computer system can automatically convert it into the firing yuan of each artillery unit according to this positioning information, which directly reduces the work burden of grassroots officers and enables soldiers with low quality to achieve accurate artillery attacks. ”

"To do this, we need to provide the Iraqi army with - artillery sighting radars, communications relay drones, high-altitude televisions, infrared reconnaissance aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, laser ranging locators, command center computer systems, digital maps and firing control computer systems, a large number of sensors and communication and positioning radios, front-line communication exchange centers, wired communication lines. ”

Hu Wenhai wrote the last stroke on the whiteboard that was already crowded with words, nodded with satisfaction and said: "In order to realize such a combat network, I don't think the package price of 200 million US dollars is not a big problem. ”

"200 million US dollars!" Everyone in the conference room looked at each other and couldn't help asking: "Is this price too high?" Our Type 59 tanks were sold to Iraq for only 1 million yuan. Isn't such a system of 200 million yuan a big injustice......"

Hu Wenhai actually laughed, nodded, and said: "Do you think Iraq is not the unjust? In fact, if you look at Iraq's spending on arms, you can see that it is not that they are reluctant to spend money, but that they cannot afford to spend money on combat effectiveness! If 200 million dollars can achieve a victory, will Saddam Hussein care about this money? The fact that our weapons are cheap is not that Saddam Hussein is stingy, but I think that our weapons are really not sold at a high price. ”

Hu Wenhai said that everyone in the conference room was silent, indeed, China's Type 59 tank was able to enter the market of the Iran-Iraq war by virtue of the words "good quality and low price".

The price of the Soviet T54 tank, which is similar in combat effectiveness, is at least three or four times that of the Type 59 tank, and Saddam's purchases are counted in "thousands".

The Type 59 tank with a unit price of 1 million yuan had a turnover of more than one billion US dollars during the entire Iran-Iraq war. NOT COUNTING THE BETTER SOLD TYPE 69 TANKS, JIAN-7 fighters, Type 56 submachine guns, silkworm missiles, Type 63 armored vehicles and 107MM rocket launchers, the Iran-Iraq war has made the entire Chinese military industrial complex full.

On the other hand, however, Iraq's large-scale purchases can also be seen in the extent of its equipment losses.

Iraq's logistical management capacity is simply abysmal, as logistical support is inadequate, and equipment is often discarded at the slightest damage. During the entire Iran-Iraq war, Iraq's military spending was as high as $120 billion, and spending $200 million on this system was nothing more than a gesture of business as long as it could convince Saddam.

"But there are a lot of things we don't have, such as this command center server, there is no mainframe that can't meet its computing requirements......"

"Oh, Iraq can pay for it first and entrust us with development. Hu Wenhai said lightly: "I think the Iran-Iraq war will be fought for a few more years, and I believe that Mr. Saddam Hussein will definitely be able to see our solution before the end of the war and equip his army." ”

"It's still like this!" everyone was stunned.

"It's called commissioned development, what's so strange?"

"You guys are too young and naΓ―ve!" Hu Wenhai bitterly cried: "You must see that there is no other country in the world that can build this system for Iraq but us! Will the Americans study this for Iraq? The Soviets themselves have not studied this system, and they will not be able to buy it even with real money! The key is to convince Saddam Hussein that this system really has this ability. It is important to see that as long as they can support the Iraqis to win the war, the Iraqis will not care how much money is spent. ”

"Okay, let's take a look at how much we are going to quote for the C3I system of the entire Iraqi army. ”

"Oh, good!" Under Hu Wenhai's shouting, everyone came back to their souls from the sinful values of capitalism, and began to count the part of the quotation work they were responsible for.

"Iraq's air defense and air force information network, the construction and improvement of Iraq's radar network and air defense command center, 30 JY-9 radars, with a price of 620 million US dollars. ”

"Iraq's program-controlled digital military communications network, with an offer of $280 million. ”

"Positioning signal base stations and receiving systems, $120 million. Combat unit positioning, data upload units, one million dollars per set. ”

"The control system of the logistics command center, 80 million US dollars, and the information unit is 1 million US dollars per set. ”

……

"According to preliminary estimates, the quotation of the entire system should be around $3.2 billion. ”

Hu Wenhai pinched his teeth and said in a loud voice: "It's just that? I feel that the money is going to be less, I think I can turn it over and quote 7 billion to the Iraqis!"
