Chapter 144: The Benefits of Selling Arms

"The second way is to sell the weapons and equipment we produce!"

As soon as Lu Jiadong said this, whether it was Chen Zhen or Qiao Junfeng, they were all stunned, and they couldn't believe their ears, so that Qiao Junfeng couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Xiao Lu, you just said that you sold weapons and equipment?"

"En!" Listening to Qiao Junfeng's words, Lu Jiadong nodded affirmatively: "That's right, it's to sell weapons and equipment!"

After receiving Lu Jiadong's reply, Chen Zhen and the others confirmed that there was nothing wrong with their ears, but they did not feel happy about it, but wrote their worries on their faces, and Chen Zhen, who had a further relationship with Lu Jiadong, even said to Lu Jiadong with a concern for the elders for the younger generations:

"Xiao Lu, selling weapons and equipment is not a joke, you are still young, you can't make such a principled mistake!"

"Yes, Jiadong!" As soon as Chen Zhen's voice fell, Qiao Junfeng on the side hurriedly took the words: "This kind of thing is not something we can do by patting our heads, and besides, our country has no corresponding policies, so, Jiadong, you listen to Lao Qiao's advice and me, and quickly dispel this idea!"

"Lao Qiao is right, Jiadong, there are some things that can't be joked about!" When Yang Limin said this, his expression was even more nervous, and even the tone of his speech was a little out of tune.

Lu Jiadong saw that people were extremely worried about themselves, and listening to what they said, Lu Jiadong knew that Chen Zhen and others were sincerely thinking about him, and his heart was even more cordial and warm, but even so, Chen Zhen and others did not surprise Lu Jiadong by selling weapons and equipment, after all, at this time, the country did not have a policy and precedent for foreign arms sales, and for a long time, China's weapons and equipment have been going abroad more in the form of foreign aid, and they are even more sensitive to the word arms sales, not to mention ordinary military factories, even at the top level do not dare to mention it easily, so Chen Zhen and others will talk about the tiger color change。

Although Chen Zhen and others were afraid to avoid arms sales, Lu Jiadong did not feel that there was anything wrong. After all, as a military expert who traveled from later generations, he clearly knew that arms sales would become an inevitable development in the future, not only becoming a new economic growth point for the middle industry system, but even in some fields. Arms sales not only supported these key military factories to overcome difficulties, but also provided indispensable financial support for the key development of weapons and equipment of our army!

Knowing these reasons, Lu Jiadong did not answer the words of Chen Zhen and others, but looked around and showed a faint smile: "Now our country's policy has been adjusted to reform and opening up, and its focus is on economic construction. From the end of last year to the present, presumably we have also seen the changes, farmers can sell excess vegetables, fruits and eggs, and there are also reselling meters on the street.

By saying this, I want to say that the country's policy will gradually open up. Recently, the local industrial bureaus have been compiling a list of foreign exchange earners for exports, and since civilian products can be exported to earn foreign exchange, then the weapons and equipment produced by our military factories are also businessmen, so why can't they be exported to earn foreign exchange?"

"But our weapons and equipment are not the same thing as civilian dealers at all, it has its particularity"

"I think it is the peculiarity of the weapons and equipment we produce. The country will even open up arms sales!" Without waiting for Qiao Junfeng to finish speaking, Lu Jiadong made a categorical judgment, and at this time, Chen Zhen and Yang Limin, who were sitting next to him, couldn't help but light up, and the worried look on their faces was slightly less. But Lu Jiadong's voice did not stop for this:

"Lao Yang also said just now that the new project of weapons and equipment has been cut, and the entire military technology may stagnate, and what is even more terrible is that it will cause the interruption of R&D talents, although we can use civilian production to maintain the operation of the production line and the production and manufacturing capacity of skilled workers.

However, as a military industry, R&D talents cannot be maintained by this method, and military technology is impossible to talk about. At present, the R&D projects are cut and dismounted, and the situation of relying on the previous mechanism and system to maintain the R&D team is still not feasible, so we can only seek external solutions!"

"External resolution?"

"Yes! It's an external solution!" As soon as Yang Limin's voice fell, Lu Jiadong nodded without hesitation: "Although our country's weapons and equipment are not the most advanced in the world, they are not the most backward, and many countries in the world are not even able to make different bullets, let alone rifles, so such a country is naturally a dumping ground for weapons and equipment."

However, in addition to such backward countries, there are also some countries that have a certain industrial base and also have their own unique characteristics of weapons and equipment, and these countries do not want the kind of weapons and equipment that are carved out one by one, they prefer to add some of their own characteristics on the original basis, and even directly ask for redesign according to the actual situation of their countries, so as to obtain customized arms that only belong to them. ”

As he spoke, Lu Jiadong picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip lightly, and then continued: "This is the case with country B that I have been to before, because they are hostile to neighboring country Y all year round, and their troops have rich experience in actual combat, so they have their own unique views on the performance and use of weapons and equipment, especially in tanks and combat aircraft, their concepts are very different from ours.

Relying on these different concepts, we can customize special weapons and equipment for it, you must know that these weapons and equipment are not as simple as tinkering on the basis of the original equipment, sometimes it is no different from developing a new type of equipment, and we can not only maintain the research and development team through such equipment, cultivate reserve talents, but also through the acquisition of some advanced ways of thinking and tactical concepts of the purchasing country to examine whether our existing equipment needs to be improved, so learn from each other's strengths, and also have great benefits to the research and development of our weapons and equipment in the future!”

After listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Yang Limin, who had always believed that technology was supreme, couldn't help frowning and nodded slightly, while Chen Zhen and Qiao Junfeng, who were walking on a steady line, also retreated a little bit from their worried looks, but the worried look was still on their faces, and Lu Jiadong only paused a little and then continued:

"Of course, the purpose of customizing weapons and equipment for others is not only to maintain the research and development team, but also to obtain foreign exchange after selling arms, and now foreign exchange is the most scarce resource, not only for us. The army also needs it, and the country needs it even more, and the arms trade is one of the most lucrative industries in the world, whether it is the finished equipment that we export in batches. It is also customized equipment developed for other countries.

will be exchanged for a large amount of foreign exchange, and these precious foreign exchange can not only support national construction, but also provide strong financial support for the development of the army and our military industrial system, there are so many benefits, I think our country will no longer engage in military aid that is ineffective. Arms sales within the scope of the state's allowance will become the mainstream in the future, and we must know that our country is now looking at those four words, both internally and externally: seek truth from facts!"

Chen Zhen couldn't help but be shocked by the sentence of seeking truth from facts, and then kept muttering, "Seeking truth from facts, no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat to catch it!" At the same time, his fingers were rhythmically tapping on the armrests of the chair, and the thoughtful expression on his face was even more overflowing, and Qiao Junfeng and Yang Limin also fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Lu Jiadong didn't say a word, because he knew that Chen Zhen and the others were already a little moved, and it was best not to say anything at this time, because Lu Jiadong knew that with Chen Zhen and others' rich experience in ups and downs for many years. Naturally, we can judge the good and bad of foreign arms sales in our hearts.

And the facts are the same as Lu Jiadong's guess, you must know that Chen Zhen and others have experienced a lot of wind, frost, rain and snow, and they are also very politically sensitive, and they naturally have a clear judgment on the direction of national policies, so of course they know that although the state has reduced the production tasks and scientific research projects of the military industrial system.

However, it does not mean that the country will give up this important cornerstone of the country, because of this, while the country will reduce the task of domestic production, it will certainly seek other solutions to make up for the military industrial system, and foreign arms sales will become the most effective and direct method, and this is likely to become the focus of the reform of the military industrial system in the future!

Although figured out this joint. But Chen Zhen still has some concerns in his heart, everything Lu Jiadong said sounds very reasonable, but most of it is speculation, and the state has no clear policy to say that it can be done. Since this is the case, it is unknown what will happen if this happens, thinking of this, Chen Zhen's brows furrowed again:

"Xiao Lu, although what you said makes sense, but the country has no relevant policies after all, will we do this?"

Although Chen Zhen's words were not finished. But Lu Jiadong understood it, so the faint smile on his face aggravated a little: "Although the country has no policy, but we had better have this ideological preparation, once the national policy in this area is loosened, our factory can also immediately seize the opportunity, you must know that our factory's 78 type, but it is a first-class good thing, and it can definitely exchange a lot of foreign exchange back in the international arms market!"

"Jiadong has a point!" As soon as Lu Jiadong's voice fell, Qiao Junfeng couldn't help but nodded: "One is military-civilian integration, and the other is foreign arms sales, both methods are bold and operable, if the policy is really loosened, it is indeed a rare prescription for our military industrial system!"

Listening to Qiao Junfeng's words, Yang Limin smiled with a hint of joy, and agreed: "Although Jiadong's ideas are eclectic, they are reasonable, so let's have some mental preparations!"

After speaking, the people present invariably focused their eyes on the factory director Chen Zhen, and Chen Zhen swept down the few people present with his eyes, his face became extremely firm and serious, and his tone was even more sonorous:

"Xiao Lu is right, although there is no policy, but we do need such ideological preparation, otherwise we will not be able to reflect the spirit of Wanshan that we dare to be the first!"

Chen Zhen's words can be described as the final word, several people in the room showed bright smiles at this moment, and at this moment, the door of the ward was gently knocked again, as Chen Zhen's words allowed to open the door passed, a strange man who looked about ten years old, tall and thin, and had an indifferent face walked in, and then said to Chen Zhen in a plain but respectful tone:

"Factory director, the time is almost up!" (To be continued.) )xh118
