Chapter 591: For the sake of development, you can't give up
"Having said that!" As soon as Guo Qingshan's words fell, Liu Haotian took a deep breath of cigarette, spit it out lightly, and through the wisps of thick smoke, he glanced at the people present, and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes, but more of a reluctant determination:
"But we can't just give up!"
As soon as Liu Haotian said this, the two eyebrows on the foreheads of everyone present relaxed slightly, as if they felt a huge treasure in front of them, you must know that the arms trade with Iran now accounts for more than half of China's foreign arms exports, and the endless supply of arms dollars is like a wisp of rain.
Although it is impossible to water them into towering trees in a short period of time, they can finally survive in the harsh environment, not to mention that with the deepening of the Iran-Iraq war, the huge demand created by the war has made many military factories start to work day and night:
Needless to say, since the brilliant achievements of the new tanks, the tide of orders has put the entire military-industrial complex headed by the Wanshan Plant at full capacity, and as a last resort, only one-third of the production orders can be transferred to other military factories for production.
As for the foundation of the military-industrial complex, the leading group of the new tank did not stop there, and after fully summing up and studying the problems exposed by the new tank in the battle of Khorramshahr, it began to actively participate in the further improvement of the new tank.
At the same time, the army and the top brass are between the excellent performance of the new tank in real combat, after a full analysis of the development trend of tank armored vehicles in the next ten to two decades. The leading group for new tanks was formally instructed to build China's own third-generation main battle tank on the basis of the new tank that had just been developed.
Just after the Spring Festival. The leading group for new tanks received the "Implementation Opinions on the Development of the Third-Generation Main Battle Tank for the Armored Corps" jointly issued by the State ~~Affairs~~ Academy and the Central ~~~Army~~ Committee, and identified the third-generation main battle tank project as a key development project in the "Sixth Five-Year Plan".
At this point, the military-industrial complex headed by the Wanshan Plant was also integrated again in the name of the new tank leading group, and further completed the internal reorganization from the original relatively loose production consortium. Officially stepping into a large-scale military-industrial cooperative with a clear division of labor, proper operation, and a clear industrial chain is only one step away from the real military-industrial complex that Lu Jiadong expects!
On the other hand, the Northern Machinery Factory has also benefited greatly from arms sales to Iran. The Magic 59 "Jaguar" tank produced by the Magic Modification showed reliability, stability, outstanding comprehensive performance in the Battle of Khorramshahr, and most importantly, its high cost performance. It quickly won the favor of many third world countries. The number of orders even exceeds that of the Wanshan military-industrial complex.
In addition, the Chinese Army, which is equipped with a large number of Type 59 tanks, also saw the possibility of rapidly improving its strength, so it instructed the Northern Machinery Factory to begin to modify China's own Type 59 tanks.
After receiving a large amount of arms revenue and research and development funds, the Northern Machinery Factory also began to be eager to try. With a strong technical foundation and many years of practical experience in reserves, it also began to explore the third generation of main battle tanks on its own. There is a faint meaning of competition with the Wanshan military-industrial complex.
After all, in the midst of competition, endless vitality can be created, and being high-minded and working behind closed doors can only make people more and more rigid, and this is one of the motivations for Lu Jiadong's original establishment of the Wanshan military-industrial complex, that is, the "catfish effect".
You must know that the current "catfish effect" is not only between the Wanshan Military Industrial Complex and the Northern Machinery Factory, but with the YJ-8 missile settled in the Wanshan Plant, achieved remarkable results in the Battle of the Falklands, and was formally finalized and equipped with troops, the Aerospace Science and Technology Institute, which originally developed the YJ-6 anti-ship missile, was a little unable to sit still; in addition, the navy-supported naval and air weapons and equipment research group was officially put into operation in Wanshan, and the Aerospace Science and Technology Institute abandoned all illusions and began to concentrate the most cutting-edge contingent to develop a new type of missile, striving to create another "little two black." "Miracles.
In addition, as a large-scale military enterprise in the field of ammunition, the Northwest Heavy Chemical Plant also felt the crisis and saw the opportunity at the same time after the Wanshan Military Industrial Complex developed the terminal sensitive ammunition, and soon obtained the Soviet Union's "Red Earth" laser-guided artillery shells from Egypt for detailed research, and quickly completed the imitation, and after selling them to Iran, the Northwest Heavy Chemical Plant, which achieved good results and tasted the sweetness, was out of control on this road, and it did not take long for it to stand side by side with the Wanshan Military Industrial Complex in the field of high-precision ammunition
Anyway, in a word, under the impetus of the Iran-Iraq war, China's military industry is not only holding money with open hands, but also carrying out a quiet change, which is something that no one has thought of before, but it is the most expected by the military and the top leadership
Those present were all high-level military leaders, the main leaders in charge of military production and development, and they knew very well what the current development momentum meant for the future of China's military industry and the future combat effectiveness of the Chinese army.
However, once the conditions are ripe and an order is given, these military industrial enterprises, which have a large amount of advanced technology and skilled manufacturing experience, can continuously deliver high-performance weapons and equipment to the combat units.
However, the current good situation has just begun, especially when the demand for funds cannot be completely self-sufficient, and earning foreign exchange through exports has become the most convenient and effective way, especially in the Iran-Iraq battlefield, which can not only allow China's military industry to obtain nutrients for development, but also become a testing ground and testing ground for all kinds of new equipment and new tactics. Because of this, Iran's arms orders cannot be abandoned in any case!
Guo Qingshan, as the head of the Equipment Department of the General Staff Department, naturally knows how powerful it is. However, unlike Liu Haotian's simple consideration of arms trade sales, he also has to consider the feasibility of Iranian orders, which is just like in a large enterprise, the sales staff has to consider the market share, while the production department has to focus on whether the product can be made, Guo Qingshan is now considering this key issue:
"What Director Liu said is very reasonable, and I agree very much. According to the current momentum of development, we really can't give up!" After a long silence, Guo Qingshan spoke again. Then he paused, picked up the teacup next to him, and took a sip gently, which moistened his somewhat dry throat. But when he looked up again. Then the conversation changed:
"But this time Iran needs weapons and equipment technical requirements are very high, and the time is also very urgent, the most important thing is that we do not have similar equipment at present, if we want to temporarily launch, we can afford to wait for the long development cycle, but Iran, which is in danger, cannot afford to wait, and then it will be a bamboo basket to draw water!"
As soon as Guo Qingshan's words fell, everyone who had just flashed a glimmer of hope. Silence fell again, and the slightly soothed brow regrouped once again. Even Liu Haotian, who had just spoken, opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but he stayed for a long time and closed it again.
Because he knew that Guo Qingshan was right, if Iran could wait for two or three years, it might be no problem, but now, in the face of Iraq, which is on the rise, the anxious Iran does not even want to wait for a second, otherwise it would not have made such a lucrative offer to China.
It's just that this piece of fat is delicious, but it is locked in a cage, without a key, even if the meat is fragrant, it can't be eaten, but until you match the key completely, and then make it, the meat inside will stink, the left is not good, the right is not, and in the end you can only watch the meat slowly rot in embarrassment
"It's really not good, let's meet Iran's conventional weapons and equipment first, and keep the established share first!" A leader suddenly broke his silence, but as soon as he finished speaking, the leader sitting next to him shook his head:
"This time, Iran's big head is in new equipment, and other conventional weapons account for a small proportion, and they have imported a lot in the past six months, and the growth is not much in a short period of time, which is not enough for us to stuff our teeth!"
"What then, it's a shame to give up!" the other leader continued.
"We can't give up for the sake of development!" Liu Haotian's attitude can be described as clear and resolute, and then he turned his head to Guo Qingshan's side, thought for a while, and then said again:
"Qingshan, if it really doesn't work, let's just talk to Iran, let's just say that we need a development cycle of about a year, and see if they can accept it!"
Listening to Liu Haotian's words, Guo Qingshan was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "It's really not good, it's just like this"
"Two chiefs, this is not a good idea!"
Before Guo Qingshan finished speaking, a sonorous voice came from outside the door, and at the same time, the door of the conference room was also opened, and through the faint smoke in the room, a strange man with white skin, light blue eyes, and slightly yellow hair, but wearing a straight 65-style military uniform, appeared in front of everyone, and people who didn't know him would be surprised by his weird outfit, why would a foreigner become a Chinese soldier, but those who knew him knew very well that this Chinese-Russian mixed-race heroic soldier was none other than the chief of staff of the Chinese Air Force, Luan Zhen!
At this time, Luan Zhen's resolute and powerful eyes did not look at the two leaders in the front position, but looked at Lu Jiadong who had been meditating on the side with a smile, and continued meaningfully:
"What, little Lu, what do you want to do with those useless things" (To be continued.) )
