As for the domestic market, as Meng Jianye expected, in the face of the pleas of Egypt and Pakistan, the relevant departments had no reason to refuse at all, and after some discussions, they quickly agreed to the issue of the establishment of rapid-fire naval guns.

As soon as the agreement was reached, Egypt funded it, and Pakistan stepped forward to purchase two sets of "Goalkeeper" short-range defense systems from the Netherlands in the name of building a third and fourth universal frigates.

And handed over to China in a very short period of time, and the Northern Ordnance Factory, which undertook the international cooperation project, took one of the two sets of close defense systems for reverse mapping, and the other set took them to the military test site for performance data testing.

At this point, Luo Bin's long-favorite rapid-fire naval gun project was officially launched.

I thought that this would be satisfied, but within a few days, the Pakistani side took the initiative to find the Northern Ordnance Factory, hoping that the three parties would cooperate to develop a dual-purpose naval gun similar to the Italian Otto Melera 76mm Gaoping dual-purpose naval gun.

China can only say that it is slightly better than small-caliber rapid-fire guns in terms of medium-caliber naval guns, but the relevant technology is still the same as in the Soviet Union in the 50s, and in the 80s, it imported 100mm compact single-barreled naval guns from France.

However, this naval gun is not as fast as the 76mm naval gun in terms of rate of fire, and the power is still some distance from the 127mm naval gun.

China did not consider this problem at that time, but the 100mm caliber is the mainstream of domestic naval guns, so the French naval guns have a great inheritance for China, and the French compact naval guns do have something worth learning, so they decided to introduce them.

However, with the increase in exchanges between China and foreign militaries, especially after coming into contact with the 76mm naval guns and 127mm naval guns of the United States, I felt that something was wrong when I looked back at my 100mm naval guns.

However, at that time, the French 100mm naval gun technology had not been fully digested, and it was naturally inappropriate to change course, after all, it was impossible to eat a fat man in one bite of weapons and equipment, so the development of the two mainstream naval guns, the 76mm naval gun and the 127mm naval gun, was not implemented.

Which Cheng thought that Pakistan would take the initiative to come to the door and ask for the joint development of a 76mm naval gun.

Luo Bin had a headache for this, because at present, the Northern Ordnance Factory was digesting the French naval artillery technology, and if Italian things were brought in at this time, it would inevitably disrupt the previous research rhythm.

This is what Luo Bin doesn't want to see, you must know that the most taboo in the development of weapons and equipment is blind greed and perfection, no matter how high or low the French naval guns are, since they are in line with the national conditions, then go on, even if the developed things may be backward, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to train the team, increase experience, and understand the process.

Because of this, Luo Bin didn't want to take on the project of 76mm naval guns.

But it's a pity to miss it like this, after all, the 76mm naval gun is still blank in China, no matter whether it can be equipped in the future, multiple choices are not a bad thing, not to mention that the funds don't have to be paid by themselves, and the benefits are not wasted.

So Luo Bin introduced the cooperation of 76mm naval guns to the East China Ordnance Factory, and this production plant that produced twin 57mm naval guns undertook this project.

Anyway, the 76mm naval gun project is a stepping stone, as long as it can be linked to China, who to cooperate with, how to cooperate, and whether it can produce results, the two have not considered it at all.

Because the big financiers behind them just want to use money to smash out a channel to get in touch with China, what is the R&D expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars? The Saudis don't care at all, they want ballistic missiles with a range of thousands of kilometers.

So with the international cooperation of naval artillery, another scene of the unknown secrets of rabbits and dogs was quietly pulled......

Meng Jianye didn't know that one of his matchmakers actually led to Saudi Arabia, a big dog, of course, even if he knew, he couldn't participate, it was really too high-end for Saudi Arabia's princes.

So the pragmatic Meng Jianye honestly did his low-end business.

As for what business, of course, it is to continue to matchmaking.

And this time the object is none other than his old brother He Cheng.

Since Hecheng's Hualaixi Company successfully operated the "Melbourne" aircraft carrier from Australia to China, he and Yuan Yuejin, two old liars who had gone astray, officially joined Endeavor Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. and became the heads of overseas branches.

At first, the business of the two was to contract shipping orders overseas for Endeavor Ships, but gradually began to get involved in the shipping industry, and now nearly a year has passed, and the two have leased two 3,000-ton ocean-going bulk carriers in other shipyards in China, so as to expand their business to the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.

This time, I asked Meng Jianye for help for nothing else, but I wanted to use Meng Jianye's contacts in Egypt to hope that the cost could be discounted during the crossing of the Suez Canal and the docking at Alexandria.

Meng Jianye doesn't care about this, anyway, he is matchmaking, and he doesn't do it once or twice as a lobbyist, let alone his brother.

What's more, now Egypt is fighting with him because of the cooperation between the Type 037 submarine hunting submarine and naval guns, and it should not be difficult to help Hecheng and them dredge up the relationship.

"Don't worry, Meng, we'll take care of what you said. ”

After finalizing the follow-up details of the Type 037 hunting submarine, Janed, who had been promoted to the chief of naval operations of Egypt, gave Meng Jianye a clear answer, but soon changed the subject: "The matter of the submarine, I still need to report to the General Staff, the maintenance and upgrade plan you mentioned is indeed very tempting, but you also know, Mongolia, we have not purchased your country's submarines for a few years." ”

The negotiations that have just concluded have indeed finalized the details of several Type 037 hunting submarines ordered by Egypt, but it does not mean that Meng Jianye will not fire guns, no, he has also kept the maintenance and upgrading of Egyptian submarines in mind, and he has also seriously discussed this issue with Janed.

In this regard, Janid feels that Meng Jianye is not bad, which is quite in line with the actual situation in Egypt at present, but the four Type 033 submarines ordered by Egypt from China have not been around for a few years, and the technical status is good in all aspects, so there is no need to spend a sum of money on maintenance and upgrades.

So what Janend said was to put it bluntly, he rejected Meng Jianye's proposal, but the wording was more euphemistic.

Meng Jianye is naturally indispensable, it doesn't matter if Egypt takes the bait or not, he mainly buries this pit first, anyway, Egypt does not have the depth maintenance and upgrade capabilities of submarines, and no one can help Egypt maintain these four fish except China, so Meng Jianye is not afraid of the fish in the pot jumping out at all.
