Chapter 253: A Perfect Fit for the Report
"Old Tan, are you here too?" next to the old chief's office, Tan Bin and Zhong Xiaomo had just gotten off the vehicle they were riding, and a military green jeep of the same model stopped in front of them, a middle-aged soldier who was not tall but in good spirits jumped down from the car very quickly, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Tan Bin coming over, and Tan Bin was slightly surprised when he saw that the person who came was Liu Haotian, director of the Third Bureau of the General Staff:
"Old Liu, what's the matter? The old chief also called you?"
"En!" Liu Haotian nodded, and then his gaze stayed on the person behind Tan Bin who was about one meter eight tall, wearing heavy cotton clothes, smiling eyebrows, single eyelids, small eyes, and garlic nose, which looked very ordinary, but the unique temperament exuded from him from the inside out made Liu Haotian feel that this person was very unusual, so he asked Tan Bin:
"This is"
"Oh, he is the director of the Central Plains Electronic Radar Institute, Comrade Zhong Xiaomo! He was also called by the old chief!" Before Liu Haotian finished speaking, Tan Bin pointed to Zhong Xiaomo and introduced, and then turned his head to Zhong Xiaomo and continued:
"This is Liu Haotian of the General Staff, Director Liu!"
"Hello, Director Liu!"
"Director Zhong, hello!" Liu Haotian and Zhong Xiaomo shook hands with each other, and at this moment, Liu Haotian suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but open his eyes and say to Tan Bin:
"Director Zhong who is engaged in radar, Lao Tan, you, and me"
"Could it be that the old chief is here this time," Liu Haotian's words were not finished. Tan Bin could react, but he was only halfway through his words, when he saw a young army cadre walking over quickly. Stood up to Tan Bin and Liu Haotian, gave a military salute, and then said politely:
"Two chiefs, the old chief is already waiting inside, please go in quickly with the chiefs and this leader!"
"Okay!" Liu Haotian nodded to the young army cadre, then turned his head to the side and continued: "Let's go, Old Tan!
As soon as Liu Haotian finished speaking, Tan Bin pointed forward. Then the three of them walked briskly towards the house
As soon as they entered the old chief's living room, Tan Bin and Liu Haotian immediately stood up and saluted the old chief, who had been sitting on the sofa waiting for them for a long time. Seeing this, the old chief sitting on the sofa showed a kind smile on his somewhat emaciated face, and pointed to the vacant seat on the sofa beside him:
"Alright, let's all come and sit!"
Tan Bin and the others followed the old chief's orders. sat down on the sofa close to the old chief, and at this time, the old chief's eyes stayed on Zhong Xiaomo, who was sitting next to Tan Bin, and after a few glances at Zhong Xiaomo's body, he asked:
"You are Comrade Zhong Xiaomo of the Central Plains Electronic Radar Institute!"
"Hello~ Old chief, I am Zhong Xiaomo!" Although Zhong Xiaomo is very athletic, his voice is extremely soft, revealing a faint elegance, and after listening to Zhong Xiaomo's words, the old chief couldn't help but nodded, and then asked:
"Comrade Xiaomo. Have you ever heard of a piece of equipment called an artillery reconnaissance collation radar?"
"Artillery reconnaissance school firing radar?" Listening to the old chief's question, Zhong Xiaomo couldn't help but be stunned, in fact, it was not only Zhong Xiaomo. The same was true of Tan Bin and Liu Haotian who were present, but then Tan Bin and Liu Haotian exchanged glances with each other, and then Tan Bin asked with a puzzled face:
"Old chief, why did you suddenly ask about the artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar?
"That's right!" Before Tan Bin finished speaking, the old chief nodded, and his originally kind smile was replaced by a serious expression: "Regarding the problem of artillery hitting hidden targets that leaked out in the Battle of Faka Mountain. Now it has been preliminarily determined that the artillery reconnaissance and calibration radar will be the final solution!"
"I remember that the artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar was only one of the options, how could it be so fast," the old chief had just finished speaking. Liu Haotian, who was sitting on the other side of him, asked with a wrinkled brow, but as soon as he was halfway through his words, he saw the old chief take two reports from the small bookcase beside him and hand them to Tan Bin and Liu Haotian respectively:
"Look at it! This is the latest war situation report in the prison mountain area of China and Vietnam!" As he spoke, the old chief straightened up from the back of the sofa, and his serious face added a little anger:
"Look at how bold these bold Vietnamese are really so rampant, relying on their concealed artillery positions and false targets, they are carrying out unscrupulous shelling and harassment of our territory, seriously affecting the security of the border areas and the normal production and life of the people!"
After saying this, the old chief picked up the teacup beside him, and after taking a sip gently, his tone eased slightly, but it was more of an unspeakable helplessness:
"Of course, our artillery unit stationed on the border of Gaoshan also carried out a resolute counterattack against the Vietnamese army, but what the specific effect is, you will know by looking at the report!"
As soon as the old chief's voice fell, Tan Bin quickly flipped through the bulletin in his hand a few times, and after repeated confirmation, he said incredibly: "The newspaper said that the number of artillery pieces destroyed by the Vietnamese army is even more than the number of equipment of the entire Vietnamese army!"
"Even so, we did not completely suppress the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army, and the intensity and intensity of the artillery bombardment on our side did not weaken significantly, proving that the effect of our counterattack was not significant" As soon as Tan Bin finished speaking, Liu Haotian, who was sitting on the side, took over the conversation.
But as he spoke, Liu Haotian's voice became smaller and smaller, but his face became more and more ugly, in fact, not only Liu Haotian's face was ugly, but the expressions of Tan Bin and Zhong Xiaomo present were not much better, and the old chief sitting in the center was even more sinking at this time:
"The Vietnamese army took advantage of the strong mobility of light artillery to adopt the tactic of hitting and running, and the heavy artillery positions were deployed in concealed positions such as the anti-slope of the back slope, supplemented by false targets to confuse our scouts and artillery observation posts, and the whole set of tactics was called artillery guerrilla warfare by the Vietnamese, and for this reason, they boasted in their official newspapers that they wanted to use their artillery as scalpels. It's going to leave us with a wound that will never stop bleeding!
Speaking of this, the old chief's big hand on the armrest of the sofa slapped the armrest of the sofa a few times. There was a muffled sound of "Bang~~Bang~~", the whole room was silent, and the old chief's voice was much louder than before, and his tone was more firm and unquestionable than before:
Combining the advanced experience of foreign countries and the actual situation at home, the high-level leaders determined that the artillery reconnaissance and calibration radar is the most effective way to solve the problem of artillery striking hidden targets and dealing with the so-called artillery guerrilla warfare. Therefore, the top instructed us in the military-industrial and armaments sales system. In the shortest possible time, we should come up with an equipment plan for artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar, so that the arrogance of the Vietnamese can be brought down as soon as possible!"
After saying this, the old chief looked around at the few people present, and his tone softened: "So I'm looking for you to come over this time." I just want to hear your opinions!" As he spoke, the old chief's gaze stopped on Zhong Xiaomo, who was sitting next to Tan Bin, and his words were firm and powerful:
"Especially I want to hear the opinion of Comrade Xiaomo, you, a radar expert!"
"This" After listening to the old chief's words, Zhong Xiaomo hesitated, but looking at the old chief's encouraging eyes, he who had also joined the army was no longer hypocritical, but replied earnestly:
"I once saw an introduction to the artillery reconnaissance school firing radar in foreign-related materials, but the content in it is only a general introduction. There is not much substantive content, so we do not know the operating system, working principle, waveform style and basic algorithm of this radar, plus the speed of artillery shells is much greater than that of aircraft such as aircraft. Therefore, the response speed of this radar must be very fast, and this requires high-performance electronic components, to sum up several reasons, if we want to develop, from the basic theory to the final prototype trial production, it will take three years!"
"Three years is too long. The Vietnamese army can fire 10,000 shells at us in a year, to this extent. Three years later, what will the entire border look like when it has to be ravaged by the Vietnamese army?"
"This" After listening to the old chief's words, Zhong Xiaomo didn't know what to say, and Tan Bin, who was sitting next to him, continued to explain:
"Old chief, you also know that the development cycle of a piece of equipment is not short"
"How many times have I stressed to you, why don't you remember?" Before Tan Bin finished speaking, the old chief's sword eyebrows stood up:
"The development of the military industry must not be done behind closed doors, but also learn to open the door to welcome guests!"
"But"
"I know we're short of money right now!" Tan Bin wanted to explain, but was stopped by the old chief waving his hand: " But even if we are poor, the money for this study is inevitable, take radar as an example, our electronics industry is very backward, the newly developed radar has not waited for equipment has been backward, this situation can only be changed by external learning, to see how people's radar is done, what methods are used, the use of those advanced equipment and technology, so that we will have a targeted to make up for the shortcomings of the electronics industry, to achieve leapfrog development, otherwise to catch up, do you know where the goal is?"
After saying this, the old chief tilted his head to Liu Haotian's side and continued: "Therefore, your bureau must also increase its contact with the British side and conduct substantive negotiations as soon as possible!" Then he looked at Tan Bin and Zhong Xiaomo: "Comrade Tan Bin and Comrade Xiaomo can also participate, and they can also learn and learn while negotiating."
Before the old chief's words could be finished, he saw a confidential secretary walking over quickly with a report, and then whispered a few words in the old chief's ear, the old chief nodded after listening, and then took the report in his hand and flipped it a few times, and a kind and kind smile suddenly flashed on his face:
"I really didn't expect that this Lu Jiadong would think of it with us, his feasibility report on the artillery reconnaissance school firing radar is a perfect match with the needs, Tan Bin, how is the progress of the new artillery?"
"At present, everything is going well, and all research and development have been transferred to the test and demonstration stage!"
"Since this is done, let Xiao Lu put aside the matter at hand first, since he knows about the artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar, then transfer him over, the person who can sell things must not be bad at buying things, and it is a waste for him to stay at the test site all the time!"
In this way, after the old chief determined the general direction, Tan Bin and Liu Haotian took action separately, and soon an order about Lu Jiadong was issued from the General Staff Headquarters, and through encrypted radio waves, it flew rapidly towards the Wanshan Factory in Sanlin, Guixi (to be continued)
