Chapter 367: The Birthright Mentality
Listening to Xie Chaoyang's words, Liao Yong couldn't help but be stunned, for Lu Jiadong's behavior Liao Yongyong knows a little bit, not because of Lu Jiadong's fame, but from the needs of the North Factory, since Lu Jiadong became famous for the 78 type assault rifle, it has attracted the attention of this large northern factory, and then the light automatic grenade launcher, portable rocket launcher, etc. have made the relevant personnel of the North Machinery Factory deeply remember this young man in the third line of the South Small Factory.
As the secretary of the factory director, Liao will never be an exception, but unlike those scientific researchers in the factory who focus on technology, his attention to Lu Jiadong is not limited to the technology developed, but pays more attention to understanding Lu Jiadong's style of doing things and doing things, because in his opinion, only in this way can he have a deeper understanding of a person, understand the causes and consequences of his research and development of military equipment and the ultimate goal he said to achieve.
The main reason why it has to go to such great lengths is that the Wanshan Factory, which has suddenly risen in recent years, has had a considerable impact on the Northern Machinery Factory, and you must know that the Northern Machinery Factory is a comprehensive and extra-large military factory, and in addition to most of the light and heavy equipment in the army, the navy's torpedoes and artillery shells, and the air force's various types of aviation bombing, the northern factory has been involved.
Especially in terms of light weapons, the North Factory has always been at the leading level in China, from the very beginning of the 56 punch, 56 and a half, to the successful development of the "step punch" Type 63 firearms, from the first production of the Type 56 rocket launcher, to the independent research and development of the Type 69 rocket launcher, it can be said that the history of the development of light weapons in New China is a history of development and production of the North Factory.
Therefore, when the army asked for the research and development of new standard firearms, the first thing that came to mind was the Northern Machinery Factory, but at that time, due to the construction of the third line, part of the light weapons development and production capacity of the Northern Machinery Factory was transferred to Guixi Province in the southwest to form the later Hongxing Machinery Factory.
Since most of the firearms research and development capabilities were involved in the construction work, the North Factory simply proposed to the higher authorities that the research and development of new firearms be handed over to the newly established Red Star Machinery Factory. After receiving the opinions of the North Factory, the superior felt that the North and Red Star were originally one, and agreed to the request of the North Factory for the purpose of supporting the third-line new factory!
In this way, the task of developing new firearms fell on the Red Star Factory, but those who know the inside story understand that the new firearms are clearly called Red Star Manufacturing. But in fact, it is still the soul of the North Factory, and if things come here, it will be a happy result for the North Factory.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Lu Jiadong, a small third-line factory with a small name, had come out of the Wanshan Factory, which had not been well known, and first succeeded in rapidly developing the Type 78 assault rifle, which easily defeated the new type of firearms that had taken several years to develop by gathering the efforts of the Hongxing and Northern Factories; and then quickly launched a light automatic grenade launcher, which won the praise of the commanders and fighters of the troops; and not long after, the 130mm bottom exhaust bomb was successfully developed, which not only played a decisive role in the war against Vietnam, but also created a series of new tactics. enhance the combat effectiveness of artillery;
The same is true of the subsequent portable rocket launchers, which are light in weight and powerful, and can be said to be famous in the battle of the Hairpin Mountain; as for the new 52-caliber 155mm howitzer that was successfully developed not long ago, it has set off a 52-caliber revolution in the world, and its excellent performance is only to look at the Sino-Vietnamese artillery war, Vietnam's losses will be known!
The advent of a large number of new equipment developed by Wanshan Factory has made the remote small factory originally located in the southwest mountainous area rise at the same time. It has also seriously shaken the position of the North Plant in the military industrial system, and you must know that the Wanshan Plant has made a series of successes in weapons and equipment in recent years. It means a series of failures in the northern plant.
It's not that the Northern Plant doesn't want to develop one or two pieces of weapons and equipment that can be used to prove itself, it's just that a good idea has just formed a plan, and before the approval process has been completed in the cumbersome and lowly administrative organs of the Northern Plant, similar equipment from the Wanshan Plant has already been put into the troops to participate in actual combat.
In the past few years, the Wanshan Factory has faintly surpassed the North Factory in terms of light weapons and body weapons to become a leader in the industry, and the advanced deeds of the Wanshan Factory are circulating in the military industrial system. The northern factory, which was originally full of halo, seemed to be forgotten and was not cared for, and this situation made this large military factory, which was almost the same age as New China, have a deep sense of frustration.
Liao always has a deep understanding of this, because when he goes deep into the workshop, he can always hear the old workers on the front line processing the Type 78 assault rifles issued by the production troops and other weapons and equipment developed by the Wanshan Factory. Slightly mocking complaint: "Since entering the factory, I have never made a gun developed by other factories, this is the first time in the world!"
Even ordinary front-line workers are like this, not to mention the top management of the North Factory, even Liao will never be an exception, after all, the pride of the eldest son of the Republic ~ and ~ Country of the North Factory has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of every North Factory person, even the most reasonable person can not avoid it, and this is especially important is the current factory director Xie Chaoyang who has worked here since the establishment of the factory.
Since the rise of the Wanshan Factory in Guixi, Xie Chaoyang has scoffed at this, just like the mentality of a nobleman who has been pampered for many years to look at a nouveau riche, but as his old subordinate, Liao Yong, the secretary of the factory director, knows that looking down on the Wanshan Factory is just an appearance, but in private, the shrewd and capable old factory director attaches great importance to every move of the Wanshan Factory, especially the core figure Lu Jiadong, who is very attentive, and praises this young man in his early twenties, and also asks him Liao to observe him more often.
But today, Xie Chaoyang, who has a high evaluation of Lu Jiadong on weekdays, said such a derogatory remark, which makes Liao always very puzzled, because of this, with his understanding of Lu Jiadong, Liao can never help but be very puzzled and said to Xie Chaoyang beside him:
"Factory director, I have also observed that Lu Jiadong for a long time, it shouldn't be like a big talker!" Liao Yongyong paused after saying this, and looked at Xie Chaoyang, the director of the North Machinery Factory who was sitting next to him, only to see that he was half-squinting his eyes like an old monk in a fixed place, and there was no reaction at all, Liao Yong, who was familiar with Xie Chaoyang's temper, always knew that this was a tacit acquiescence He continued to speak, so Liao Yongyong raised his voice and continued:
"Lu Jiadong started from the 78 type assault rifle, every time the research and development of weapons and equipment is amazing, the ideas and structures proposed are also unexpected, it seems impossible to be realized by him in the end, even the technical department of our factory said that the technology applied by Lu Jiadong is feasible, so it can be seen that he is also a down-to-earth person"
"Maybe when you are in China, you will be down-to-earth, but this time you will go wild!" Before Liao Yong finished speaking, Xie Chaoyang's half-squinted eyes suddenly opened, and two calm and sharp gazes immediately burst out, so that Liao, who still wanted to continue to plead, couldn't help but close his mouth and quietly listened to Xie Chaoyang's sophisticated and deep words:
"Lu Jiadong is indeed a talent, but he still can't withstand the attack of sugar-coated shells, and he is a bit crazy to make money from arms sales, and he even agreed to jointly develop a new tank with Pakistan that surpasses the existing technical level!"
As he spoke, Xie Chaoping's wrinkled face couldn't help but squeeze up slightly, revealing a sneer, but Liao Yong, who was sitting next to him, was confused, knowing that it was impossible to enter Tan Bin's office according to his level, so he didn't know what the leaders of the military industry talked about with his factory director, and because of this, after listening to Xie Chaoyang's words, Liao Yong couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"Could it be that Lu Jiadong has no problem with foreign arms sales!"
"It's not that there's a problem, it's a hot potato!" Xie Chaoyang sighed, and briefly said what Tan Bin and Qian Lei were talking to him just now, and Liao Yongyong couldn't help but suddenly realize after hearing it:
"So that's the case, so many advanced technologies, it's really a hot potato!" But as he spoke, Liao Yongyong's brows still wrinkled:
"Factory director, whether it's a hot potato or not, why don't you next, anyway, our factory is a leader in this area, if you don't take it, let other factories take it to make a result, then our factory"
"Do you think other factories have such strength?" Liao Yongyong's words were just halfway through, Xie Chaoyang's confident words interrupted his words, and then Xie Chaoyang rolled down the car window, greeted the cool summer breeze, lit a cigarette, and then a wisp of green smoke dispersed with the wind, Xie Chaoyang's smile was also much more confident:
"I know what kind of technical level other factories are in my heart than anyone else, if our factory can't do something, other factories can't even dream of it, not to mention anything else, I don't know how many people will be stumped by ordinary armor welding alone, not to mention what composite armor should be used in Pakistan's tank,
In addition to the nearly 800 horsepower engine, 120mm smoothbore gun, and two-way fire control and stabilization system, the relevant foreign affairs responsibilities are not trivial, I think Lu Jiadong was carried away by the success of light weapons, young, really young."
"Is it possible to have a miracle? Just like the weapons and equipment developed by the Wanshan Factory before, it can always accomplish things that others can't do."
"What do you think?" Xie Chaoyang glanced at it lightly, flicked off the cigarette ash, and said angrily: "You are also an old man in the northern factory, you should also know the major processes of producing tanks, and the related supporting facilities will be dozens or hundreds, and the production of two-wheeled motorcycles in his Wanshan factory is barely enough, as for the heavy main battle equipment like tanks, don't even think about it" (to be continued......
