"It was just a proposal, not a proposal that it had to be moved. Zheng Yucheng looked at the old man's eyes and his eyes were red, and quickly explained, "I was also angry when I heard this before." In fact, if you think about it, relocation is in line with development. We're used to it, but the younger generation ......"

Xie Kai is a prime example of this.

The outside world is more exciting.

"We are a military industrial unit, a top military scientific research unit with a level of secrecy that exceeds top secret!" Wang Guilin said with a roar.

Relocation fart.

Do not move.

"The domestic economic development is uneven, and the government is already considering how to improve the economic construction of the western region. Our industries, in any city, have a leading role that is incomparable to other units...... Hongqi Machinery Factory needs a large number of supporting units, and scientific research projects need a lot of basic supporting research support...... "Zheng Yucheng explained.

Wherever 404 appears, it will promote the rapid improvement of the local economy.

This is also the reason why many third-tier units are currently relocating from the mountains to the city.

It is not only of great benefit to the economic development of the city, but also to the units in the mountains. Young people are reluctant to enter the mountains anymore, preferring the city, and the units in the mountains are not too attractive to talents.

"This is to demote us! There is no problem for other ordinary units to move out, but now our fighter assembly plant has been set up, and the missile research and development center, the armored vehicle research and development center, and all kinds of laboratories have been set up...... Didn't you say it earlier?" Wang Guilin's fire is bigger than Zheng Yucheng.

He couldn't accept such a thing.

Zheng Yucheng didn't say anything, just kept smoking.

Everyone knows that there are benefits to moving out, and many of the top scientific research institutes in China are in the city, which does not affect anything.

It's just that 404 has spent a generation of hard work, and it has not stopped construction until now, who can accept to give up like this? Even if it is only a part of the relocation, no one will agree.

Xie Kai didn't know about the relocation of part of the proposal from his superiors, and he didn't integrate the industries of the base because his superiors said that they would relocate.

If it is not integrated, the management of the 404 that cannot keep up with it has all kinds of problems.

Not to mention anything else, he doesn't know the entire 404 industry and the progress of each project.

If it weren't for 201's opposition to the rebellion, he wouldn't have felt anything urgent. He even dared to guarantee that neither Zheng Yucheng nor Wang Guilin knew much about the fighter project and the warship project.

The other units received will never be like 404's own units.

For those units, 404, as the management party, is to allocate funds to them.

404 has always given too much power to subordinate units, and at present, Zheng Yucheng is a strong figure, and the problem will not be too big, but Zheng Yucheng is old and is about to retire.

Daddy's temper, it is difficult to fully control the entire 404 huge industry under such circumstances.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

There was a knock on the door outside.

Xie Kai saw that it was already one o'clock in the morning, who came to find him so late?

Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin, the two old men, are probably discussing what they said.

turned over and opened the door, and it was Mr. Zhu who appeared at the door.

"Mr. Zhu, why don't you rest so late?" Xie Kai hurriedly let Mr. Zhu in, and while pouring water for him, he pondered the purpose of Mr. Zhu's visit.

Mr. Zhu looked at Xie Kai, his mind was a little complicated: "I pondered what you said, and it makes sense." ”

"The conflict between cost and performance?" Xie Kai asked.

Mr. Zhu nodded, "The new tank design plan is prepared to adopt the same structure as the 359 in terms of protection, the internal base armor is made of alloy, the middle is made of Chobham composite armor, and the outermost layer of reactive armor is added...... The firepower was improved with a longer barrel with 125 guns and increased artillery missiles...... Powertrain, 1000 hp engine, 1200 hp reserved ......"

Xie Kai listened with a frown.

I wish Mr. Zhu to tell himself that this is an absolutely confidential thing, what is the purpose?

This way, this tank is both in terms of firepower and protection, it will be extremely close to the 99 overhaul, if it is developed, the M1 and the Leopard-2, which have not undergone too many improvements, are not opponents, of course, but compared to these two aspects, the internal system, the power system, Xie Kai dares to guarantee, can not be compared with the Leopard-2 and M1.

"The cost of these designs is already unacceptable. Mr. Zhu ignored Xie Kai's doubts and continued.

Xie Kai didn't say anything, I don't know what Mr. Zhu meant.

"The above requirement is to start working on a prototype for engineering finalization, right?" Xie Kai still didn't hold back.

Originally, he was going to wait for Mr. Zhu to speak.

Mr. Zhu nodded, "We are talking, and the contract is about to be signed." ”

"The prototype of the engineering finalization does not need a fire control system, just consider the power system and the main gun system, etc., in this, I think it is better to use a 1200 horsepower engine, and it is best to reserve a 1500 horsepower ......" Xie Kai thought about the parameters of the 99 overhaul.

At present, there are many difficult places, at least in terms of firepower and protection, there is no big problem.

What needs to be solved is the hydraulic system, especially the continuously variable hydraulic gearbox, which is the biggest difficulty encountered by China's military industry.

Even the 359 tank was not fully realized, and like the old 99 later, it was only used for auxiliary.

Anyway, it's foreign trade, it doesn't matter.

"Some of the technologies used in the 359 can be used in the prototype of the project, which can also save costs...... Xie Kai thought that Mr. Zhu came to him to ask how to save costs.

He doesn't know much about himself, so he can only pick up what he knows and say.

Mr. Zhu looked at him, but shook his head, "It's not a matter of cost." I'm looking for you just to find out, does weapons with advanced performance really have such a great impact on national defense construction?"

Xie Kai understood.

His previous statement scared the big man.

This is a question of the relationship between the operational concept and the level of equipment, which is supposed to belong to the strategic research team.

In foreign countries, these do not exist at all, and generally the military makes requests, and the supplier develops according to the requirements of the military.

But China is different, the military has no money!

They have always wanted to use less money to get better performance equipment, the same level of technology, even if it is half or more than the international level, they also want to be cheaper.

Otherwise, Mr. Zhu would not be so entangled, and he would be as advanced as he could.

"Mr. Zhu, this does have a great impact. The level of equipment performance is not good, at least in the study of strategy and tactics, we need to be ahead of the curve and not lag behind the advanced trend...... The armored operations of the Iran-Iraq war, you should have also analyzed. The tanks and fighters on both sides rarely work together...... For ground-based armoured groups, the biggest threat is helicopter gunships and ground attack aircraft......"

Xie Kai talked about the problems of both sides in the Iran-Iraq war.

These problems are also being analyzed by the state.

The war that really changed the direction of the world's military development has not yet broken out, and many countries are still learning from the Soviet Union and want to build a torrent of steel like the Soviet Union.

Precisely because of the influence of this strategic thinking of the Soviet Union, Iraq lost a large number of tanks in the Iran-Iraq war, and in order to maintain the number of armored forces, more than 2000 tanks were ordered from China for 59 tanks. Even if the world changed, more than 700 of the 359 tanks were ordered from China......

Even if there is this, it will not change the outcome of the Gulf War.

There is a big gap in operational thinking, and the gap in equipment performance is not small......

If after the outbreak of the Gulf War, Xie Kai didn't even have to explain these things to Mr. Zhu.

However, the Gulf War has not yet broken out, and Silly Damu is probably still planning at this time.

"Our army is not the same as the two sides of the Iran-Iraq war. Mr. Zhu reminded Xie Kai, "From the time of the Red Army, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to the War of Liberation, and then to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, until now, the war on the southwest border has not ended......"

What he meant was obvious: The PLA has been fighting all along, and its strategy and tactics are not at all comparable to those of Middle Eastern countries that have not fought any wars.

"Just because we have been fighting wars, and almost every war is won by relying on backward equipment, it is easier to have problems!" Xie Kai smiled bitterly.

With the development of science and technology, the further back you go, the greater the role of equipment in warfare.

Although man is still the subject of war.

At the beginning of the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq faced almost all the Persians because of its advanced equipment and tactical thinking.

The Persian army, because of the problem of tactical thinking, in the face of the attack of the armored group, did not mobilize their armored group to confront, nor did it use advanced fighters to carry out aerial bombardment of the Iraqi armored group, but used manpower to block, and the soldiers carried explosive bags to deal with the tanks, and the final result was ......

"Mr. Zhu, have you seen the training and exercises of the special operations brigade next door to us?" Xie Kai suddenly asked.

It is estimated that only the combat method of the special operations brigade can make Mr. Zhu understand.

"Yes. Their way of fighting is indeed very different from that of other troops. However, this unit is mainly offensive, and the other units in the country are mainly defensive......" As soon as he talked about the special operations brigade, Mr. Zhu sighed.

It was also because of the 359 tanks equipped by the special operations brigade that his thoughts began to waver.

"Offense is the best defense. Wars are all in motion, and if you are always defending in a certain area, a few missiles will solve the problem, and there is no need for armored clusters at all...... "Xie Kai said.

The defense strategy is strategic defense, but it does not mean that fortifications should be built in one position.

In this world, there are no strong fortifications that can keep the enemy off forever, and the Maginot Line, which once made the French proud, ultimately had no effect at all.

"Only when advanced equipment appears, the generals will seriously study how to give full play to the role and war potential of these equipment to a greater extent, otherwise, the equipment is backward, and any plan is based on backward equipment, which is just like the defense of the north before......" Xie Kai looked at Mr. Zhu and said bitterly.
