Chapter 172 Establishment of the Joint R&D Team

"That's what you think, that's great!"

"To be honest, only Xiao Lu is the most suitable for this project!"

"Yes, that's right."

Guo Qingshan and Liu Haotian, who were whispering on the side, naturally couldn't hide Lu Jiadong's eyes, not to mention that he vaguely heard his name, because of this, Lu Jiadong stopped what he was saying, looked at Guo Qingshan and Liu Haotian beside him, and asked quite puzzled:

"Two leaders, you are"

After listening to Lu Jiadong's question, Liu Haotian did not feel surprised, but said without hesitation with a bright smile: "I discussed with Lao Guo, should Xiao Lu be the person in charge of the development of this portable bazooka!"

"The old squad leader is right, I think only Xiao Lu is the most suitable for this project!" As soon as Liu Haotian's voice fell, the smile on Guo Qingshan's face became more and more hearty, and the tone of his speech became more categorical:

"Whether it is technical theory or overall planning, it is not only clear and operable, but also Xiao Lu has presided over the development of several new weapons and equipment before, and the relevant experience and organization and coordination ability are naturally not a problem, so on the whole, this project is none other than Xiao Lu!"

As Guo Qingshan spoke, he turned to Lu Jiadong's side, and carefully looked at the young man in front of him:

"How about it, Xiao Lu, let's stay in Yangcheng this time!"

"This"

"Xiao Lu, if you still have any difficulties, you might as well say it, and see if my old Guo can help you solve it!" Seeing that Lu Jiadong was a little hesitant, Liu Haotian was very worried about what Lu Jiadong had to worry about, and Guo Qingshan, who was sitting next to him, was even more so:

"You don't have to be afraid of any difficulties Xiao Lu, just say it if you have any worries, they are all people who have been on the battlefield and seen battles, don't talk so much, just say it, although the old squad leader and I have limited ability. But some things can be solved!"

Guo Qingshan and Liu Haotian, the two leaders, have said this part, if Lu Jiadong is no longer hypocritical, he can't say it, and Lu Jiadong himself is not a hypocrisy, so when Guo Qingshan is gradually falling. Lu Jiadong then spoke:

"In fact, there are no difficulties and worries, mainly because I am still responsible for several research projects in the factory, especially the feasibility report of the new large-caliber long-range artillery has been completed and is being declared for national approval, so"

"Your application materials for the new artillery are still being discussed in the provincial department. I estimate that the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the Armament Department of the General Staff Department will have to have some discussions, not to mention the next feasibility study, preliminary evaluation by experts, review, and then submission to the high-level for approval, and the formulation of the budget.

When it comes to new artillery, Qian Aimin, who was born in artillery, is the most accumulated, but when he heard Liu Haotian's words, his accumulated energy instantly solidified into surprise on his face: "It takes so long?"

"This is quite fast!" As soon as Qian Aimin's voice fell, Liu Haotian replied: "Now that the state has tightened its military research and development projects, many urgently needed key equipment are facing disconnection. Therefore, the state has to consider more about the newly declared weapons and equipment projects, especially heavy equipment with a large investment and a long development cycle like artillery!"

As he spoke, Liu Haotian's face showed a bright smile again: "But our portable bazooka is different, this equipment is not only urgently needed by the troops participating in the war, but the heavy army in the north will also be eager for portable bazookas, and even their enthusiasm is higher than ours."

You must know that in the face of the Soviet armored clusters, the heavy armies in the north are eager to have an anti-tank weapon in their hands, and this equipment is exactly what they need. What's more, as Xiao Lu said, if we apply for the 70-type bazooka improvement project, the resistance will be greatly reduced, and if we add the G Military Region to take the lead, the entire declaration will be even faster!"

Lu Jiadong knew that Liu Haotian was right. The new artillery project is different from any other previous weapons development project, it is a completely new type of heavy equipment, and in the context of such a sharp reduction in military production and research projects, it is reasonable that such heavy equipment will be slow to review.

Of course, the declaration of portable bazooka will not be extremely smooth, but as Liu Haotian said, this simple and practical weapon and equipment will definitely receive strong support from the military. Coupled with Lu Jiadong's commonly used declaration set, the project establishment speed of this portable bazooka will inevitably be much faster!

"Xiao Lu, what the old squad leader said is very correct, whether it will work or not, you have to give a happy word!" Seeing that Lu Jiadong didn't speak for a long time, the acute Guo Qingshan couldn't help but be a little impatient, and Wu Tianming, who was sitting opposite him, also opened his mouth to persuade at this time:

"Yes, Jiadong! I know that the technical ability of the Wanshan Factory is still very strong, you can assign other projects to others to complete, this portable rocket launcher is the equipment that the whole army urgently needs, since you put it forward, how can you realize it?"

After listening to the words of a few people present, Lu Jiadong knew that this portable rocket launcher project could not be shirked, and the reason why he did not rush to express his position was mainly because he still couldn't let go of the new artillery, which he had been promoting, but Lu Jiadong also weighed it carefully, and the new artillery really did not have the possibility of being achieved overnight.

Rather than waiting for the approval of artillery, it is better to use the limited time to complete the development of portable bazookas, and through this development, I can continue to accumulate strong resources for the establishment of artillery projects and subsequent research and development.

"Since it is the equipment that the army urgently needs, then I will go all out, and I will not say anything else, I will listen to the organization and arrangement!"

"That's right!" Hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Guo Qingshan patted Lu Jiadong's shoulder with a satisfied smile: "This is what people who have been on the battlefield should say!"

As he spoke, Guo Qingshan turned to Liu Haotian's side: "Old squad leader, I left Xiao Lu behind this time, don't be reluctant!"

"There's really something wrong with what you said!" Listening to Guo Qingshan's words, Liu Haotian couldn't help but glance at him: "If Xiao Lu develops a portable bazooka, it will still be the glory of our Guixi military industry, and if Xiao Lu completes the task, he can still bring back a few talents to our Guixi military industry, I also want to thank you, Lao Guo!"

Listening to Liu Haotian's words, Guo Qingshan couldn't help laughing out loud, and the other people present also laughed happily, and the whole room was immersed in hearty laughter in the blink of an eye

In this way, after sending Chen Yue to the school, Lu Jiadong did not immediately return to the Wanshan Factory, but stayed in Yangcheng and began to carry out various preparatory work for the development of portable bazookas.

As Lu Jiadong expected, the application for the establishment of the portable rocket launcher project was not so smooth sailing, even if the G Military Region took the lead, and for this reason, the Armament Department of the General Staff Headquarters and the Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense came to the G Military Region on more than one occasion to listen to reports on the possibility of portable rocket launchers.

In order to promote the establishment of this equipment, Guo Qingshan, deputy chief of staff of the G Military Region, who was the promoter of this equipment, even ran back and forth in Yangcheng, Beijing, and finally even alarmed the head of the general command who had left his post to recuperate, and after learning about the situation, the chief of the general command wrote a special letter to the top level on this matter, suggesting that the project be launched as soon as possible with a portable bazooka.

Of course, the armament department of the General Staff Department and the Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense also attach great importance to the new portable rocket launcher; in addition to going to the G Military Region to listen to relevant reports, the two departments have also set up several research groups to go deep into various military regions to understand the actual needs and application prospects of the new portable rocket launcher.

The feedback received is also positive, especially when the heavy army in the north heard that there is such a portable bazooka that everyone can carry, they all showed a great willingness to mount, and at this time, it is based on the above factors that the General Staff Armament Department and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense finally issued the technical and tactical indicators and development task book of the portable bazooka with the consent of the high-level, but between the tense situation on the Sino-Vietnamese front, the development task stipulates that the portable rocket launcher must be completed before the Spring Festival of 80 years!

Although the entire development can be described as a tight schedule and a heavy task, after all, the development of portable rocket launchers is officially on the right track, and the G Military Region, as the leading unit, attaches great importance to it, and has specially set up a leading group for the work of portable rocket launchers headed by the chief of staff of the military region.

Guo Qingshan, deputy chief of staff, is the executive deputy head of the group, who is specifically responsible for the organization and coordination of the entire project, Lu Jiadong is the deputy team leader and chief designer, and is mainly responsible for the specific research and development of the portable rocket launcher, while the other members of the research and development team, after receiving orders from their superiors, packed their bags one after another and marched to the guest house of the G Military Region, the base camp for the development of the project

"Xiao Lu, Qin Jingbin, a researcher at the Institute of Materials, has arrived today, have you seen it?" In a secluded small attic of the guest house of the G Military Region, after Lu Jiadong listened to the words of Guo Qingshan, who was sitting opposite, the image of a middle-aged intellectual sub-point who was over forty years old, of medium stature, and wearing black-rimmed glasses immediately appeared in his mind:

"I've already met Researcher Qin, and I can see that he is a practical person!"

"En!" As soon as Lu Jiadong's voice fell, Guo Qingshan couldn't help but nodded: "This research and development team is all experts in various fields, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an elite soldier!"

"Chief of Staff Guo is right!" Listening to Guo Qingshan's words, Lu Jiadong also agreed, but then he remembered something, and then asked Guo Qingshan, who was smoking:

"At present, all the personnel who should have come have come, but the most important rocket expert, Zhao Rusong, why hasn't Professor Zhao arrived yet?"

Lu Jiadong didn't mention this person, but when he mentioned the word Zhao Rusong, Guo Qingshan, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but take a few puffs of cigarettes, and his heavy eyebrows were even more deeply wrinkled together (to be continued. )
