116 Selling tanks to the Middle East is the goal (for the alliance leader South Gate Tiger 4/4)
"How can you be so sure? At present, it seems that the military and the people of the Fifth Aircraft Department do not agree with us to cooperate with the Pakistanis, not to mention that Luo Zhiyu will interfere with it. Zheng Yucheng is really worried.
For a long time, it is the introduction of advanced technology from abroad that cooperates.
This time they are reversed, and there is no technology in the country to cooperate.
A project of hundreds of millions of dollars, the superiors did not agree, and the 404 base lost the opportunity.
"We not only have to cooperate with Pakistan, but also have to intervene in the third-generation tank project in China. Xie Kai said, "The fire control system is our stepping stone." ”
"The problem is that Wang Xingqiao is not interested in what you brought up. Zheng Yucheng said.
"Don't you like to spend money!" Xie Kai stared at him, "You directly tell them that as long as they complete the research we request, they can do whatever they like, and the funds are enough!"
"You don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, what if they open their mouths!" Zheng Yucheng looked like a miser.
Xie Kai looked at him and said very seriously, "Other projects don't matter, but this one must be smashed with money." The fire control system is the key to the new generation of tanks. If the fire control system is not good, no matter how high the attack power is, isn't it useless to be inaccurate? No matter how thick the skin is, if you encounter a large number of enemies or shoot accurately, you can withstand it? Besides, this is the money of the Pakistanis!"
The further you go, the more important the fire control system becomes.
At present, the Beidou satellite has not yet been launched into the sky, and Xie Kai wants to propose the establishment of an information-based tank, which is a dream.
It's really ambitious.
The two left the Fifth Machinery Department and went directly to the 201 Institute, and Wang Xingqiao had to agree to start the research and preparation of the anti-stabilized fire control system now.
What Xie Kai said, Mr. Zhu has been moved, and he believes that Mr. Zhu will help.
In the conference room of the Fifth Machine Department, Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng left, but the conference room fell silent.
Except for Zhu Yusheng, everyone else disagreed with the cooperation between the 404 base and Pakistan.
"I think their cooperation model can be done without much leakage of our technology. That little comrade Xie Kai was right. Zhu Yusheng opened his mouth.
"Mr. Zhu, that is the top technology in China! Our domestic second-generation tank technology is not fully mature......" Qian Xingguo looked worried, "If Pakistan obtains the technology, they will definitely find a way to sell it." ”
"Isn't that bad? The more they sell, the more money they have to do research on more advanced technologies. Mr. Zhu said, "This does not require domestic investment." ”
"In fact, China is only a technology shareholder. Long Yaohua still supports it in his heart, "Pakistan will definitely not agree to the technical solution of 617 when it has a better choice." ”
When he said it, he still looked at Luo Zhiyu.
Luo Zhiyu's face has always been gloomy, and he doesn't have the courage to refute.
"You only see the leakage of technology, and you don't see the opportunities that this cooperation brings to our technological development. Why do they want to use such technology to cooperate with the Pakistanis? Haven't they thought about whether their superiors will agree to it, and whether it will cause technology leakage?" Li Mingshan asked the crowd.
Everyone didn't know why, and looked at him with puzzled expressions.
Even Zhu Yusheng didn't understand.
"I wish the boss to put it forward at the beginning, recycle while investing, and realize the recycling of funds. I think that's what they think about as well. Pakistan's relations with Middle Eastern countries, since the Indo-Pakistani war, some countries in the Middle East have been providing assistance to Pakistan. Li Mingshan said. "They are not only to get funding for technology research and development, but also to sell tanks. ”
The crowd understood.
The people of the 404 base don't just want to cooperate with Pakistan and win orders from Pakistan.
Through technical cooperation, the two companies have the technology, and when the time comes, in order to recover the investment in technology, Pakistan will definitely sell tanks to Middle Eastern countries through relations.
"Doesn't this make foreign countries more aware of our technological strength?" Although Qian Xingguo hopes to see such a result, he is also more worried.
"Absolutely not, that is the top technology in China, once the street is ......" Luo Zhiyu spoke again.
It has to be stopped.
"Shut up! Look at what you're doing, you don't care at all, it's embarrassing to be fucked this time. Qian Xingguo's own old face was also a little unbearable, "Pakistan asked for a stabilized image fire control system, this thing was thrown to 404 by yourself! Even if I cooperate with you, do you think the people at the 404 base will agree to give you technical support?"
Luo Zhiyu bowed his head and was silent.
"People have come up with a few cooperation plans, what cooperation plans do you have? You didn't think about these at all, did you? I always think that there is no choice but you. Qian Xingguo's words made Luo Zhiyu's face red.
For a long time, everyone in 617 felt that this matter was a certainty, and it would not be snatched away at all.
Who knows, a unit that I never thought of has come out, and the plan is far more exciting to the Pakistani side than theirs, and there are also a variety of cooperation models.
"Let's talk about this later, let's talk about it. Personally, I think that Comrade Xie Kai's idea is very right, use their project to verify the technology of the three generations of projects, and improve on their basis, so far, we do not have a specific plan, they are engaged in the front, and it has a lot of benefits for the project......" Zhu Yusheng's words once again showed his attitude.
The projects they are engaged in are for their own domestic use.
Exports are impossible.
"I thought I could give it a try. The weapons and equipment exported domestically are all light weapons, and the demand for weapons in the country is not high. Long Yaohua said, "Maybe this is an opportunity." Anyway, the superiors have always said that crossing the river by feeling the stones, which can be regarded as a new model for the development of military industrial units. ”
The share of domestic arms exports is very small, and light weapons are sold by the ton, but they are worthless.
Heavy equipment is valuable, the entire international market is controlled by the Soviet Union and the United States, and Britain, Germany, and France in Europe do not have much market.
It's not that China doesn't want to sell, the problem is that no one buys.
Everyone knows that China's weapons are lagging behind. If the performance is good, it is a big killer, and it is impossible to sell it.
"Mr. Zhu, is there really no problem?" asked Qian Xingguo.
"According to what they said, our domestic third-generation tanks are only at this level, so it's better not to do it, so as to save a limited amount of money. Mr. Zhu said with a proud face.
No one despised his words.
At the beginning, when the leaders approached him, the proposed task was to create a "tank that can compete with foreign advanced tanks."
After accepting the task, Mr. Zhu aimed at the target further, "What's the use of a tie, you have to beat them." ”
Anyone who is qualified to know about this project knows about it.
Most of those present are qualified to understand.
"According to their technical indicators, it can only be said that this tank has the characteristics of three generations, not three generations of tanks in the full sense. The only one is strong firepower, defensive armor, power system and so on because of tonnage limitations. After all, there are only five pairs of weight-bearing wheels. Mr. Zhu said with a rare joke. "Strictly speaking, their kind of project really belongs to the second and a half generations that have some of the technical indicators of the third generation of tanks. And not the second and a half generations proposed by 617. ”
Five pairs of load-bearing wheels limited the tonnage of the tank.
The tonnage is not high, the hull cannot be too large, the defensive armor, and the power system are limited.
"Hundreds of millions of dollars are also a very huge boost to our domestic tank technology. Long Yaohua said.
Mr. Zhu emphasized, "These technical projects can even be merged with our projects, and I personally think that it is completely feasible." As a result, we will save a lot of money on the third-generation tank project. I will report to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. ”
He was really moved by what Xie Kai said.
At present, the domestic third-generation tank is still in the stage of technical demonstration.
The second-generation tanks have not yet been completed, the third-generation tank project has been launched, and the foreign Leopard 2 and M1 tanks have been installed, and the gap between China and foreign tanks in terms of technical level is two full generations.
"Everyone knows how difficult our project is. Funding is tight, and everyone knows it. The cooperation between 404 and Pakistan has given us an opportunity to use other people's funds to demonstrate our technology, and I hope everyone can see the effect of this on our technical level. Mr. Zhu himself is not a person who talks much, but here, he still hopes that everyone can think more about the role of this project. "While Pakistan will get some of the technology, we will get even more benefits. ”
After using the 404 medium tank for demonstration, and then to improve the technology, use it on your own tank, the performance will definitely be more advanced.
The professionals have said so, what else can others do.
Why not use other countries' funds to help train their own technical teams and study their own technological foundations.
The Pakistani side was also not idle, and after learning about the 404 project plan, it began to prepare to tackle key problems with relevant units in China.
"It has now been confirmed that the other party is not trying to defraud us of our funds. The other party's contact with us was not known to their superiors before. We must persuade the Chinese side to agree to this technical cooperation. Kachhead emphasized, to the crowd.
Mubara also supported his view, "It is better to send it back home and let the president communicate it personally." ”
"I think we should increase our bargaining chips, don't we have $100 million in funds? Kachhead suggested.
"So much? If it's too long, it's hard for us to explain. Mubara said.
"Only when there is enough money will their people work harder to tackle problems together. Kachhead said. "Such a project, as long as we also have the technology, can be exported to fraternal countries in the Middle East to recover funds......"
In the evening of the same day, the news was transmitted back to China through the Pakistani Embassy, and President Zia ul-Haq was so happy that after learning about the cooperation plan of this project, he personally called the Chinese side, hoping that the Chinese side would agree to this cooperation.
