"Bang~~~" The old chief's big hand slapped the coffee table in front of him with a shocking sound, and the teacup on it couldn't help jumping up twice under the huge vibration, overflowing the full tea, so that the two well-bound contract samples on the coffee table were soaked in a large area, but even so, the old chief still turned a blind eye, but stood up, and walked back and forth in front of his seat with a gloomy face in the No. 1 lounge of the first guest house of the General Staff:

"There is really no one in sight, how can it be reasonable, what do these British think of us? 1840 ** incompetent Qing government?"

The old chief's loud and loud words continued to echo in the entire lounge, and the members of the surrounding military trade team all held their breath when they saw this scene, and the huge lounge was suddenly silent, and the drop of needles could be heard, even Liu Haotian, who was reporting the negotiation just now, couldn't help but raise his head and hesitantly look at the old chief who was pacing quickly, not knowing whether to continue or stop there, and Liu Haotian's pause naturally attracted the attention of the old chief, so the old chief glanced at Liu Haotian and said in a deep voice:

"Why don't you talk about it?

"Yes!" Liu Haotian replied loudly, and then continued to report: "So after understanding the true intentions of the British side, we decisively terminated the negotiations, judging from the current attitude of the British, they can be described as carefully preparing for this negotiation, step by step, every step has been carefully designed, and in the end they want to achieve the goal of using the arms trade to infiltrate and control our country!"

"This analysis is very correct!" As soon as Liu Haotian's voice fell, the old chief affirmed it without hesitation, and then raised his head and glanced at several members of the military trade team in the lounge with his resolute and resolute tiger eyes, and then stretched out his hand and lit the sample contract on the coffee table that had been yellowed by a cup of tea:

"You can see it all, comrades! A small radar, they can dig out so many tricks, if one is not careful, we will be stuck by others!"

said. The old chief walked to his place again and sat down again, while the confidential secretary next to him quickly cleaned up the coffee table and put it in front of the old chief with a new cup of tea. After the old chief took a sip of the teacup gently, his originally gloomy face improved a lot, and his tone of voice became more serious:

"Our country is now carrying out reform and opening up, and foreign exchanges are gradually increasing, and the same is true for our army and military industrial departments. However, while maintaining friendly exchanges, we still cannot relax our basic vigilance, and the current arms and trade talks with Britain are the best example.

But why are we blindly optimistic from the very beginning, impatient, and entering into a puzzle without knowing it? We cannot deny that we are very inexperienced in the arms trade, and we do not understand many things. I still don't understand many of the rules, but I think these are objective reasons, and the most important thing is that we relaxed our vigilance, and thus almost fell into the traps set by the British, causing irreparable losses to our country and army!"

After saying this, the old chief's eyes turned to Lu Jiadong, who had been writing something in his notebook not far away, and there was a hint of imperceptible appreciation in his tiger eyes, and then he glanced at the members of the military trade group present again:

"Comrade Lu Jiadong performed very well in this negotiation, and it can be seen that he has a very in-depth study of the negotiations, so I hope that the comrades will return to the future. While summing up the lessons and lessons of this negotiation, we can also learn from more comrades like Lu Jiadong who have rich experience in negotiations, and improve their negotiation level and ability through mutual exchanges!"

After listening to the old chief's words, everyone present nodded happily and convincingly. And Lu Jiadong also cast admiring glances, and the old chief picked up the teacup in front of him and drank two sips of strong tea, a pair of slightly gray brows wrinkled slightly, and his tone became heavy:

"During the negotiations, the British said that we have no foreign aid, no equipment, and no technology, and it seems that we will have nothing to do without this artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar. I don't believe in this evil, why can't this kind of artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar be made except for the British? Most of you here are drawn from the military industrial system and the army's technical departments, so today I would like to take this opportunity to talk to everyone about how to get this kind of artillery reconnaisance and school firing radar!"

As he spoke, the old chief turned his head to Tan Bin beside him, and then asked: "Xiao Tan, you are the leader of the military industry, you can talk about your views first!"

The old chief led the topic to the artillery radar, and everyone present also shifted their thoughts to this question, and the same was true of Tan Bin, who was the head of the General Staff Armament Department.

"The artillery reconnaissance and calibration radar is a kind of high-tech equipment, and our army has never developed and equipped this kind of equipment before, so there is an extreme lack of understanding and experience in the development and use of artillery radar, and the internal principles and basic composition are even less understood, and at present, the artillery units on the Sino-Vietnamese border are in urgent need of this kind of equipment.

If it is developed from scratch, I am afraid that the development cycle will be quite long, so based on the above reasons, I still tend to purchase from abroad, as the old chief said, in addition to the United Kingdom, there are many countries that can develop this kind of radar, as long as we work hard, we should be able to find a breakthrough!"

After listening to Tan Bin's words, the old chief couldn't help but nodded, and then tilted his head to Liu Haotian on the other side: "What is the opinion of your military trade department?"

"Although Lao Tan has a point, but the current situation is that except for the British, it is impossible for other countries to sell their artillery radars to us!" Liu Haotian frowned deeply, forming a "Chuan" character at the center of his eyebrows, and his tone of voice was even more helpless:

"After deciding on the purchase of artillery radars, we made contact with the United States, Sweden and France and other countries outside the United Kingdom, but they were all refused, and judging from the unbridled performance of the British in the negotiations that just ended, such an abnormal collective refusal of these countries should have more or less ties with the United Kingdom, that is, the British have privately contacted these countries in order to achieve their ulterior motives, and asked them not to sell such equipment to us! Therefore, it is very likely that the road of external procurement will not work!"

"En!" As soon as Liu Haotian's voice fell, the old chief couldn't help but nodded: "No matter what, we must also prepare for the worst, we must not ignore the small actions behind the British, Western countries often share the same spirit, the so-called Batumi is the best proof, so Xiao Liu said that it is very likely, so I think we have to base ourselves on ourselves!"

As he spoke, the old chief's gaze turned to Tan Bin again, and Tan Bin couldn't help but hesitate a little when he faced the old chief's questioning gaze:

"This"

Seeing Tan Bin's embarrassed face, the old chief's face couldn't help but sink downward, and then he directly skipped over Tan Bin and looked at Zhong Xiaomo, director of the Central Plains Electronic Radar Institute diagonally opposite:

"Comrade Xiaomo, you are a radar expert, tell me how feasible it is if we do it ourselves!"

After listening to the old chief's question, Zhong Xiaomo was stunned for a moment, but then reacted, and then replied quite seriously:

"Old chief, I also reported to you before, if we develop it completely from scratch, it will take at least three years."

"Is it possible for a year?" Before Zhong Xiaomo finished speaking, the old chief frowned and asked, while Zhong Xiaomo shook his head slightly:

"To be honest, it is impossible to do it in a year, and the transmitter, transponder and transmitter of the radar need to be redesigned, in addition to establishing a complete set of mathematical models for target processing and positioning, so"

Zhong Xiaomo's voice became smaller and smaller, until it finally disappeared completely, because at this time, the face of the old chief sitting diagonally opposite him was already gloomy and about to drip water, it was obvious that the old chief was very dissatisfied with the reply of the military industry department, and in fact, it was also true, as an old chief who had commanded thousands of troops and horses during the war years and presided over countless major national defense scientific research projects after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

He hoped to bring out the spirit of two bombs and one satellite in those years to get the artillery radar out, but he also knew in his heart that under the circumstances of the urgent needs of the troops and the lack of experience in developing and using them in China, it would be difficult to talk about making such high-tech equipment in a short period of time.

So when Zhong Xiaomo finished speaking, the old chief did not ask again, but took his eyes back, ready to ask other electronic radar technicians, and at this moment, a young and immature face suddenly appeared in the old chief's sight, which made the old chief's eyes suddenly brighten, and then a kind smile flashed on his face and said:

"Xiao Lu, after listening to so many opinions, what is your point of view?"

"I" Lu Jiadong was drawing something in his notebook at this time, and when he heard the old chief's sudden question, he couldn't help but pause, and his stunned eyes naturally did not escape the old chief's keen tiger eyes, so his face sank:

"Young people, if you have an idea, speak up!"

"Yes!" As soon as the old chief's words fell, Lu Jiadong answered without hesitation, and then put down his notebook and said loudly: "I think it is very feasible for us to develop artillery radars.

As soon as Lu Jiadong finished speaking, the eyes of the old chief sitting opposite him couldn't help but flash an imperceptible light, and then the corners of his mouth opened slightly, revealing a satisfied smile (to be continued. )
