The meeting began at nine o'clock in the morning and lasted until half past eleven, and it was dark and noisy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's normal for a meeting like this to go on for days at a time. The experts at the meeting were all opinionated people, and it was not uncommon for them to discuss for a month or two in order to persuade others to accept their proposals. If there is no decision from the rulers, it is not surprising that even if the discussion lasts for a year or two.

For example, domestic small-caliber rifles have been discussed for several years just at the demonstration stage. Until the base took out the mature 5. The 8mm caliber automatic rifle and ammunition technology have only finally settled. After absorbing the technology of the base area, the domestically produced Bayi automatic rifle was produced within a year.

Guan Fei presided over the meeting in person, but he didn't want to waste time on quarrels.

At the morning meeting, the general framework of the 59 improvement plan was basically determined: the welded composite armored turret similar to the West was adopted, the air conditioning was installed in the rear basket of the turret to increase the activity space of the crew members and improve the working environment, and the grid device was installed on the outside of the tank tower to deal with the RPG close-range attack;

The top anti-aircraft machine gun is operated by remote control of the commander to reduce the possibility of casualties.

Continue to use the new 1005 mm caliber rifled gun improved in China, and develop a tungsten alloy tail stabilized deshelling armor-piercing projectile with a matching tungsten alloy tail, which is required to be able to penetrate 500 mm of homogeneous armor at a distance of 1,500 meters;

The engine will continue to use the latest domestic diesel engine for the time being, but it will be improved in fuel saving, requiring the maximum highway speed to reach 50 kilometers, and the driving distance of a full fuel to reach 500 kilometers, so as to have a good maneuvering range;

Crop loader, modify to automatic/manual reloading, reduce crew members, increase reload speed, and ensure that the gun can maintain a maximum rate of fire of eight rounds per minute;

Maintain the laser rangefinder and install the second-generation active low-light night vision device to ensure that the enemy target is found at a distance of 2,000 meters in the night environment;

The in-vehicle data link system is adopted and incorporated into the gradually improved military-wide data link system, which is convenient for the unified standard of data exchange and transmission of various services and arms in the future;

Using the fire control computer developed by the base area, receiving the data transmitted by sensors such as laser rangefinders, integrating various systems such as loading, searching, tracking, and artillery aiming into a whole to achieve comprehensive automatic control, it is required to hit a stationary target at a distance of 1,500 meters, and have a certain degree of ability to fire artillery in motion, and it is required to shoot in motion, and at least one of the five artillery pieces must be able to hit the target;

Replace vulnerable metal parts and tracks with transmission parts with higher strength and toughness, improve the service life of the tank, extend the overhaul interval, and reduce maintenance costs;

Skirt armor is added to the side, which is required to be able to resist attacks within 50 meters of the RPG and protect the fragile walking mechanism......

According to this framework outline, this improvement can be said to have undergone major surgery, and the Type 59 tank has been changed almost completely from the outside to the inside, except for retaining the original chassis and artillery.

Guan Fei's hand is really to change the magic to the end!

The most important thing is that the overall renovation progress he asked was limited to be completed within half a year.

Normally, this kind of large-scale project, similar to the redevelopment of a new tank, requires at least a dozen new supporting factories, production lines, and training workers, and at least two or three years.

However, Guan Fei's subordinates only have such a total of tanks, and there is only a demand for sixty-four sets, where is there any need to make such a large amount of trouble to make any production lines. He intends to assign all tasks to various research institutes and implement the modification of all tanks in the form of laboratory production in small batches.

However, in this case, the cost of rebuilding a single tank can be high.

At this point, he is also mentally prepared.

Although verbally, he stuck the upper limit of the cost of a single vehicle renovation at 600,000, in fact, as long as it does not exceed 1 million, he can accept it.

The total price of a single unit is 1.5 million yuan, which is still cheaper than the cost of 1.5 million US dollars in the Soviet style, and only one-fifth of the M1A1 that is more than 4 million US dollars!

After the modification, the combat capability of the Type 59 will reach 7 to 80 percent of that of the M1A1.

The detection and attack range of 1,500 meters, the ability to fight at night, the penetration of 500 mm of homogeneous armor, and the improved Type 59 can all pose a great threat to the M1A1. If the opponent does not attach active armor, the tungsten alloy tail stabilized armor-piercing projectile at a distance of 1,500 meters can also penetrate its armor layer, which is equivalent to a 500-millimeter homogeneous steel plate.

If the distance is shortened to within 800 meters, both sides will not be able to escape being penetrated in the face of each other's tank guns.

This is the current state of modern master tanks in the era of firepower.

Enemy tanks, RPGs, anti-tank missiles, enemy helicopter gunships, and more and more targets that can pose a threat to the main battle tank.

This is also the reason why after the development of the main battle tank in modern times, it has gradually stagnated, and the major powers no longer spend more energy on it. In the face of a small-scale armed enemy, the existing tanks are already enough to crush; In the face of a large country in a system, no one can escape the destruction of the other side, and the main battle tank has gradually become a kind of chicken rib weaponry.

Large-scale wars cannot be fought, and future modern wars will become more and more excessively public security wars, so naturally there is no need to continue in-depth study.

Guan Fei led the morning discussion, but this was to speed up the process, not to make a statement. He also accepted the correct opinion.

For example, he only planned to install an automatic loader at first, but it was a domestic expert who raised objections, saying that anything could happen in battle, and the probability of damage to the automatic loader was not small, and he proposed to keep a set of manual loader equipment as a backup, and so on.

And the specific details of the modification, he did not stipulate death.

There are so many pieces of equipment that need to be replaced that it is also a question of whether it will be able to achieve the desired goals. After disassembling the original components, the freed up space for so much equipment was also a key factor. This requires efforts to miniaturize and miniaturize the equipment, and the design and manufacturing level of the project team is very much considered.

Therefore, he did not insist that all the requirements must be up to standard, and when the verification work was carried out, all parties came up with relevant transformation details and samples, and then made further trade-offs according to the actual situation.

For example, the power system and attack power are overkill and are only intended to be used as a means to enhance competitiveness in the international arms market in the future. These requirements can be gradually improved in the future with the improvement of technology in the base areas, and do not require them to be implemented in one step.

However, other improvements can be saved, and the only goal that must be achieved in his plan is to integrate electronic sighting, laser ranging, low-light night vision, and fire control computers into a complete data link system.

This is the foundation for the establishment of a data-based combat system for the whole army in the future, and it must be retained no matter what.

……

At the dining table, the cups were staggered, Guan Fei, Xia Zhongyuan and others were drunk, their military uniforms were taken off and hung behind the chairs, and even the undershirts were picked up, and they were all drunk with red ears and shirtless, and they were still persuading each other to drink, and the wine on the table was skyrocketing.

On the ground, two empty wine bottles have been placed, and the newly opened bottle of Moutai on the table is also half empty.

Guan Fei didn't smoke or drink in his time, but in this era, because of his depression and being in the military, in order to mingle with his comrades, he gradually learned to smoke and drink. And he drinks a lot of alcohol, after two bottles of liquor, his face is only slightly red, he still speaks so clearly, and his thinking does not slow down, if it is not full of wine, it is like not drinking.

When Xia Zhongyuan and the others first arrived at the base, they also tried to drink with him, but every time they wanted to get him drunk, they were always the ones who slipped under the table and got drunk. After the table was served today, except for everyone drinking together at the beginning, and then turning to talking and chatting, no one dared to compare the amount of wine with him.

"Come on, Minister Xia, let's have a piece of braised pangolin, this is just caught and killed from the mountain, the meat is tender and has a good taste." Guan Fei sandwiched a large piece of pangolin meat, put it in the bowl of Xia Zhongyuan, and then prepared vegetables for several cadres of the general assembly, general rear, and five machine departments, and said diligently.

"It turns out that this is pangolin meat, and I said how can this meat be so delicious, smooth and elastic, and very delicious. According to traditional Chinese medicine, pangolin meat has the function of nourishing blood and has a miraculous effect on blood circulation and blood stasis. It is said that if a pregnant woman has poor milk, eating it will also have the effect of promoting lactation. A general assembly cadre who likes food nodded again and again, and said to the others.

"Oh?" Xia Zhongyuan quickly grabbed a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, savored it, and then patted the table and praised, "Sure enough, the meat is delicious and tender!" ”

Guan Fei raised his glass to him with a smile, drank half a cup in one gulp, ate a mouthful of food, and then said casually: "Minister Xia, I heard that the current military spending in China seems to be very tight, and this year's military spending has dropped again, right?" ”

Hearing him mention military spending, the faces of the people at the table were gloomy.

This year's military spending has not only dropped.

Domestic military expenditure, because of the war, reached a historical high in '79, with an annual expenditure of more than 230 billion yuan. Then, in order to make way for the construction of the national economy, military spending began to be drastically reduced, and the total approved military expenditure for this year was only 16.8 billion yuan, accounting for only 3.43 percent of the total GDP.

As a large country second only to the United States and the Soviet Union, this military expenditure is pitiful.

In order to cope with the Cold War, the United States has maintained its military spending at $100 billion all year round, and this year's total budget has reached 150 billion yuan, 16 times that of China.

The military spending of the USSR was no less than low.

Since the Soviet Union's military spending has never been clear, there are no detailed figures, but a rough estimate shows that the Soviet Union's military spending is basically the same as that of the United States, a slightly less level. According to this estimate, the Soviet Union's military spending this year is also about 130 billion.

In this sense, China's military spending has been left far behind, and there is no comparison between the United States and the Soviet Union.

However, in terms of the proportion of fiscal allocation and the proportion of GDP, China is definitely not low: the domestic allocation was 19.4 billion yuan last year, accounting for 4.26 percent of the total GDP, but the fiscal allocation accounted for 16.7 percent!

Last year, the United States spent 133.9 billion yuan on its military, accounting for 4.9 percent of its GDP, a little more than its domestic expenditure, while its financial appropriations accounted for 22.7 percent of its total, much higher than its domestic expenditure.

Although the Soviet Union maintained military spending on a par with the United States, its economic strength was far inferior, and although there are no specific figures, it is estimated that its military spending accounted for 20 to 30 percent of the total annual revenue!

This shows how difficult it was for the Soviet Union to maintain its hegemonic position. It is no wonder that the morale of the people in China does not want to continue the Cold War with the United States, and they are eager to reconcile, which has also laid the root cause of future disintegration, and they really can't afford to fight.

In terms of the number of armies possessed by various countries, China has the largest, with a total of more than 6 million troops; The Soviet Union followed with more than five million; The United States has the least, with only 2.45 million people.

The average amount of money per serviceman is reversed: the U.S. military averaged $63,000 per serviceman, and the Soviet Union averaged $26,000 per serviceman. China is the least, and the per capita military expenditure is only a pitiful 1,600 dollars when converted into dollars!

This person's per capita military expenditure is not as good as the base area! For mobile phone users, please visit m.
