Chapter 683: Yun Ten
Jiang Huichuan is right: Neither the army field units, nor the navy, nor the air force can stand alone in this million-dollar disarmament, but they can take the opportunity of this disarmament to achieve real slimming down and leanness; since the 60s, the Chinese armed forces have had to deal with external threats by expanding their strength because of the increasing external threats day by day, and in the case of obviously backward weapons and equipment.
In a series of deep holes, extensive grain accumulation, and busy preparations for war, the size of the Chinese army swelled rapidly like a balloon, and the total number once exceeded 6 million.
These two contradictions were particularly prominent after the reform and opening up, and the 79 years of counterattack against Vietnam exposed the accumulated shortcomings of the Chinese army in the past 10 years, fully showing that quantity does not equal quality, and more personnel does not equal strong combat effectiveness.
As a result, between 79 and 82 years, China successively divided certain engineering units, the armed forces under the jurisdiction of local military regions, the railway troops, and some of the leading and command organs into localities, or specialized them on the spot, or simply abolished them directly, especially in 1982, when the railway troops were integrated into the Ministry of Railways as an independent branch of the armed forces, and they were assigned to the localities, which became the most important disarmament event before the million-dollar disarmament.
Of course, the road of downsizing posts mentioned combat effectiveness may end there, especially after the battle of the Sino-Vietnamese Prison Mountain, the military and high-level leaders realized that in future wars, mechanization and informationization are the inevitable development direction of the army, especially the laser-guided rockets to eliminate the typical combat power of the Vietnamese army's passive electronic reconnaissance warfare, which has suddenly discovered by many people of insight.
The real combat effectiveness does not seem to be overwhelming in the past, and the unexpected precision points may be more able to hit the enemy from both the physical and psychological levels, so in the future army construction, we should increase the proportion of new equipment, especially high-tech equipment, it is in this context that Xiaoping Tong~~~ Zhi erected that famous finger at the enlarged meeting of the Military Commission!
Whether it is a young soldier who has newly enlisted in the army or an old general who has gone through the battle formation, all of them have a deep affection for the troops.
What's more, there are many officers and soldiers who have been in the army for a long time, and in addition to fighting wars and efficient killing skills, they will not have the ability to make a living in society, so rashly pushing them into society, even if they do not starve to death, they will certainly not live very well, they are all old colleagues and comrades-in-arms for many years, and they can't watch such things happen no matter what.
Therefore, Jiang Huichuan's cautious sentence has become a major problem lingering in the minds of the commanders of various services and arms after the enlarged meeting of the military ~~~ committee, and Jiang Huichuan is no exception; after evaluation, the navy also has several units that need to be transferred, merged, and withdrawn, and several other units involved in ship maintenance and maritime affairs are good to say, no matter what, the navy is a high-tech service, and several large shipyards are vying to get the troops and units that have been laid off.
But as the saying goes, the dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of them is different, some are excellent, and there will inevitably be tricky ones, and the two naval aircraft repair plants that are sure to be laid off have become a big headache for Jiang Huichuan; in the final analysis, it is still the cold winter in the military industry in recent years, which has led to the ugly efficiency of several major aircraft factories, and they are barely able to eat enough, and they have no ability to divide the porridge in the bowl that is already thin and watery;
As a result, the two good aircraft repair factories with strong technical strength and excellent personnel team have become hot potatoes that the master does not kiss and the uncle does not love, which makes the naval command, including Jiang Huichuan, worry and have a lot of ways to do this, such as being assigned to the heavy machinery factory and using the existing machinery and equipment to switch to machinery manufacturing; or simply become a company and directly use excellent technical capabilities to launch civilian products.
Although the idea is good, how can the aircraft repair factory, which has been dealing with various types of fighters all day long since the establishment of the factory, be so easy to transform, and this also makes it difficult for the officers and soldiers of the aircraft repair plant to accept it, so Jiang Huichuan, who had a headache, thought about it and finally felt that the Wanshan military-industrial complex led by Lu Jiadong was the most suitable;
Not only because of the good benefits of the Wanshan military-industrial complex and the ability to afford these two humble gold-swallowing beasts, but also because of the performance of the military industrial team led by Lu Jiadong in the Anglo-Argentine naval battle, Jiang Huichuan still remembers it to this day.
Therefore, Jiang Huichuan came to the door soon after Lu Jiadong was transferred from the front line of Prison Mountain to the north!!ah!!! Beijing soon after, straight to the point, and said his thoughts directly, so Lu Jiadong smiled, smiling as happily as a sleepy pillow
"So that's what happened!"
Listening to Lu Jiadong and Jiang Huichuan talk about the cause and effect, Hu Qinghua woke up like a dream, no wonder Lu Jiadong is like a demon these days, and he has never forgotten the formation of an aircraft factory, it turns out that the root is here, and after figuring out this joint, Hu Qinghua's face finally swept away the haze of many days, revealing a long-lost smile, but this smile flashed on his face, because Hu Qinghua always felt that something was wrong, and even a little weird:
"Since this is the case, why didn't you explain it before, and with the Navy's aircraft repair plant, why do you need so much money for? Do you want to rebuild the factory?"
"The most important thing is that there is a big thing that can't be said clearly, if we really want to implement it, our profit will really be a little less!"
Lu Jiadong's words were very light, but Hu Qinghua could hear the risks and difficulties contained in this, and couldn't help frowning again, thinking that he should have predicted wrong, but then Jiang Huichuan's solemn and rigorous expression made his heart chuckle for no reason:
"Xiao Lu, have you really thought about it! This matter is not a matter of money, but a major event involving historical grievances, foreign investment, and the future of countless people!"
"I have no problem, the main thing is whether the old chief can think about it, after all, this matter involves the grievances and grievances of the older generation, I really don't want to see such a potential project end just because of this!"
"Old chief, don't worry!"
Jiang Huichuan said very solemnly, as if he was going to the battlefield in the next moment:
"Even if they have a grudge, but I think they have experienced decades of ups and downs, they should be able to see it, but even so, you have to have a good reason, after all, this project took more than ten years, the life span of the manufacture is less than 500 hours, the indicators are compared with similar foreign products, the country has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, but only harvested such a less reliable thing, no one can say!"
"You can tell the old chief, what we urgently need now is not the enjoyment of soaring in the blue sky, but the need for force multipliers such as air tankers, air early warning aircraft, and air electronic reconnaissance aircraft."
Listening to the aviation support aircraft urgently needed by the Navy coming out of Lu Jiadong's mouth one by one, Jiang Huichuan's originally silent eyes gradually brightened, and he nodded vigorously:
"Then I'll do my best!"
"Please!"
"Jiadong, Commander Jiang, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word!"
Just when Lu Jiadong and Jiang Huichuan's voices gradually fell, Hu Qinghua wanted to look at the two people in front of him like a monster, because of what he said just now, although he sat in it, he answered quickly like a dumb riddle, but he could hear Hu Qinghua's clouds and mountains, and Lu Jiadong and Jiang Huichuan looked at Hu Qinghua who was full of doubts, couldn't help but smile at each other, and said two extremely heavy words in unison:
"Yun Ten!"
Yun 10 is indeed very heavy, not only because it is the first large aircraft with a take-off weight of more than 100 tons independently developed by China, but also because of its tragic fate, since the establishment of the Yun 10 project in 1970, more than ten years like a dream, although the two prototypes have completed several feats of delivering disaster relief materials to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but still can not change the fate of the project due to the adjustment of the national economy.
Now that the American aviation giant McDonnell Douglas has entered strongly, hoping to cooperate with the Chinese side to use the plant and production line of the Yun-10 to assemble and produce the MD-82 passenger aircraft, the main model of the McDonnell Douglas Company, so that the Yun-10, which was already struggling due to political ~~~ governance and technical factors, has been heavily pressed on an extremely heavy straw, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before it collapses
"Cheers, dear Lovett, I wish our latest model is about to be branded with the Chinese label, and at the same time, we will also observe a moment of silence in advance for the death of China's large aircraft!"
Just when Lu Jiadong and others were talking about the future of Yun Shi in the Navy Guest House, the north that was not far from them!
"I really think that we should squeeze out some tears, presumably so that those idiot Chinese can be more heartbroken"
"But I can't cry at all!"
"Haha~~~~"
The unbridled laughter echoed in the suite, and the crisp clinking of glasses came and went, but Yun Shi, who was thousands of miles away, stayed on the declining tarmac and cried silently (to be continued). )
