Lu Weijun himself is a leader in the artillery unit, and his understanding of artillery and the use of tactics are extraordinary, especially in the one-year study at the military academy, which has opened Lu Weijun's eyes and improved his knowledge structure and theoretical level by leaps and bounds.

Because of this, when Lu Jiadong mentioned the basic technical parameters of the new large-caliber long-range artillery, Lu Weijun, who had read and studied many foreign artillery technology and tactics materials, could not help but raise his own questions, because he clearly remembered that in an article on the development of the latest ground-suppressed artillery in the West, it was clearly written that the most cutting-edge artillery technology in the world today is the 45-caliber 155mm artillery.

In addition to Western artillery technology, the Soviet Union, which has always attached great importance to artillery, is also actively developing new long-range artillery, especially the 152mm cannon that is in the development stage, which not only has a long range, but also greatly improves the lethality and accuracy of the artillery compared with the previous artillery of the same type through the rational allocation of ammunition.

The development of artillery in the two major military camps in the East and the West is very clear, but none of them is developing 52 times the caliber 155mm artillery technology, so in the face of Lu Jiadong's "unique" body and caliber ratio, Lu Weijun can't help but question in his heart, can such artillery work?

Not only Lu Weijun, but also Chen Zhen, Qiao Junfeng and even Hu Qinghua who were present here also had doubts about the 52 times caliber 155mm artillery, you must know that in the 80s, China has opened its eyes to the world, many foreign advanced science and technology have been introduced to China through newspapers and magazines, and military technology is even more so, many military journals that had been suspended for various reasons have begun to resume publication one after another, and many newly founded military technology journals and magazines have begun to emerge like mushrooms after a rain.

While reporting on domestic military developments, they are more likely to reprint and report on the advanced military technology of foreign armies in large quantities. Not only that, as a special industry of the military industry, Wanshan Factory can also obtain some internal publications, which have more detailed records of various foreign advanced military technologies.

Because of this, Chen Zhen, Qiao Junfeng and Hu Qinghua have also seen a lot of technical information about the 45 times caliber 155mm artillery. Naturally, I knew that Lu Weijun was right, in fact, Qiao Junfeng, Hu Qinghua and others had long wanted to ask why Lu Jiadong chose 52 times the caliber, but Lu Jiadong was too busy this year, and the time spent in the factory was only a handful, so they didn't have time to ask.

Now Lu Weijun raised the doubts in everyone's hearts, and the puzzled eyes of several people present instantly gathered on Lu Jiadong's body, how could Lu Jiadong not know what they were thinking when he saw everyone's eyes, in fact, this problem was not the first time Lu Jiadong had encountered it. When the new artillery project was applied for, this was the question that Lu Jiadong was asked the most at the expert demonstration meeting.

It's just that at that time, Lu Jiadong was building a new factory and developing civilian products, and later participated in the research and development of portable bazookas, and then he was transferred to the Third Bureau of the General Staff for foreign arms sales. This is one of the main reasons why the new artillery project has never been finalized.

Although the artillery project was approved, the first sentence of the opening sentence of the index task book is very clear: use the advanced and mature technology existing in the world today. This sentence couldn't be clearer, that is, the General Staff Armament Department and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense are more inclined to 45 times the caliber 155mm long-range artillery, but between the requirements for scientific research work to a certain extent and flexibility, it is not clearly stated, but the meaning between the lines has been clearly expressed!

But even so, Lu Jiadong's determination to develop a 52-caliber 155mm caliber gun still did not waver. Of course, on the way back to Wanshan Factory from Beijing, Lu Jiadong also carefully considered the advantages and disadvantages of the two 155mm guns of 45 times caliber and 52 times caliber, and made a preliminary list of technical indicators according to the comparison table of military performance in later generations.

Just wait for the specific comparison data to be calculated and filled in after returning to the Wanshan factory, and then explain to the research and development team of the Wanshan factory, what Lu Jiadong didn't expect is. Lu Jiadong knew that he had to explain today, no matter what, because after all, all of the people present here were the core members of the new artillery development team that was about to begin, and if their thinking and attitude were not firm, it would probably affect the entire development process of the new artillery.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiadong nodded slightly, but did not explain immediately, but asked Lu Weijun beside him with a faint smile:

"Representative Lu, what do you think we should do?"

"The first sentence of the technical and tactical mission book has been written very clearly, that is, 'make use of the advanced and mature technology existing in the world today'!" As soon as Lu Jiadong's voice fell, Lu Weijun responded categorically: " Although the Soviet artillery has a long range and great power, it is too cumbersome, and the cannon and howitzer are clearly distinguished, which has greater pressure on logistics and maintenance, so my opinion is to use the 45 times the caliber 155mm artillery, this technical specification to develop a new type of artillery, so that we can have mature technology to learn from, the direction can be determined, and second, we can use mature technology, if necessary, we can introduce technology, shorten our development time!"

Lu Weijun is worthy of being a staff officer, he speaks very logically, methodically, and convincingly, and everyone present frequently nodded in agreement, which Lu Jiadong neither agreed nor objected, but continued to ask with a faint smile:

"Since the 45 times caliber 155mm gun is so advanced, why are the Western countries that developed it not massively installed, but still use the 39 times caliber 155mm gun?"

"This" Listening to Lu Jiadong's question, Lu Weijun couldn't help but groan, and Qiao Junfeng, who was sitting next to him, frowned twice and said:

"Is it just successful development and haven't had time to batch equipment?"

"They have successfully developed it three years ago, and with the advanced test equipment and efficient production capacity of the West, they have enough time to mass-produce this artillery, but what about the facts?"

"That" As soon as Lu Jiadong's voice fell, Qiao Junfeng still wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth just now but couldn't say anything, but Hu Qinghua, who was sitting opposite him, frowned and nodded:

"Now think about it, Jia Dong is indeed right, whether it is in the public materials or in our internal foreign-related information, all of them say that the 45 times the caliber 155mm artillery technology is out of the blue, and even crowned it as an unprecedented revolution in artillery technology, but if you think about it carefully, all kinds of articles are written in a variety of flowers, but there is really no mention of which major military power began to assemble on a large scale, all of them are under research or testing, so say"

"So the 45 times caliber 155mm gun itself has technical defects!" Hu Qinghua paused as he spoke, while Lu Jiadong took over the conversation at the right time:

"According to the shrewdness of the West, it is impossible not to put such good equipment on display, but to carry out propaganda with great fanfare, to put it bluntly, the West has long known the defects in it, and such propaganda is to hope that there are countries that do not know the truth, especially developing countries, will purchase out of the temptation of technology, so as to increase a considerable source of income for Western countries!"

Lu Jiadong is right, the 45 times caliber 155mm artillery has indeed not been installed on a large scale in any Western country, and the reason is that the 45 times caliber 155mm artillery is only a compromise plan to reduce technical risks and maintain good mobility of artillery, and it is not the best solution for large medicine rooms and long-barreled artillery at all.

In fact, Lu Jiadong mentioned this issue in the first arms sales negotiations with Blomberg, although Lu Jiadong was up to the point at that time, but because Blomberg has been traveling in the Western world all the year round and is very familiar with the situation in Western countries, Lu Jiadong only revealed a little bit of content, and Blomberg fully understood that a few people here were not as simple as Blomberg.

The only thing they have to look at is the beautiful technology described in journals and materials, especially when an artillery officer like Lu Weijun sees that the range of the 45 times caliber 155mm gun can reach an astonishing 39 kilometers, it is like finding the beautiful girl he has been in love for a long time, and he is reluctant to let go, no matter what, he wants to get her.

But Lu Jiadong did not pity the phantom of this beautiful girl to disappear, which made Lu Weijun's heart a little unacceptable, so he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Jiadong incredulously:

"Deputy Director Lu, you just had a defect in the 45 times caliber 155mm caliber gun, since the 45 times caliber is defective, is it not possible to increase it to 52 times?"

"Any weapon and equipment has its own insurmountable shortcomings, and the same is true for artillery!" As soon as Lu Weijun's voice fell, Lu Jiadong said lightly with a confident smile:

"But no matter what, the quality of a weapon and equipment is not based on its insurmountable shortcomings, but on whether its own technical and tactical indicators can achieve a perfect balance, and in this regard, the 45 times caliber 155mm gun is obviously unattainable!"

"Why?"

"Because it doesn't meet a standard!"

Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Lu Weijun's eyebrows couldn't help but tighten to the middle again, but he still didn't stop asking:

"What standard?"

As soon as Lu Weijun's voice fell, Lu Jiadong replied with a faint smile and without hesitation:

"The standards set out in the NATO Memorandum of Understanding on Common Ballistics!" (to be continued......
