Chapter 243: Could it be that he still wants to change it to M1?
Xia Zhongyuan, deputy director of the First Department of the General Staff, was asleep when he heard the wake-up horn in a daze, and subconsciously lifted the sheets, sat up from the bed, and reached out to grab the military uniform and armed belt. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info??.? `?
Syllable!
The overhead light was lit, and the secretary Xiao Zhao pressed the light switch with his hand: "Minister Xia, are you awake?" ”
Xia Zhongyuan reacted at this time, this was not an inspection of the troops, but a stay in the suite of the Xincheng Hotel in the base area.
Xiao Zhao came over and helped him turn off the bedside stereo timer switch.
Xia Zhongyuan was not busy getting up, so he wore a round-necked vest, sat at the head of the bed, picked up the green shell panda cigarette from the bedside table next to him, shook out one and put it in his mouth. Xiao Zhao picked up the steel-shelled lighter, lit the fire on the side of the car, helped him light it, and then shook it, making a crisp sound, and casually put a handicraft ashtray within his reach, so as to facilitate him to shake the ash.
Xia Zhongyuan sat cross-legged on the bed, took a deep breath, and a burst of elegant smoke passed through his lungs, and then sprayed out of his nose.
Xiao Zhao glanced at Panda Smoke enviously, looked away, and stepped forward to help him fold the sheets.
Xincheng Hotel is the highest-grade hotel in the base area, and it is also the designated external reception hotel, except for the domestic units that come to investigate, there are no other guests. Due to the large number of rooms, each member of the General Staff delegation has a single room, and the one where Xia Yuan lives is a high-end business suite, with a master bedroom, attaché room, reception room, a bathroom with a large bathtub, and each room has a separate bathroom.
Xiao Zhao also lived in the attaché room next door in order to take care of him at any time.
"What, want to smoke? If you want to smoke it, take it yourself, what are you polite to me? Xia Zhongyuan smiled and pushed the cigarette case towards him and said generously.
"No, no, I still like to smoke the front door. This cigarette is smoked, and I don't have to smoke it in the future, but I don't want to die in a hurry. Xiao Zhao shook his hand again and again.
"Yes! Then it won't hurt you. Xia Zhongyuan thought about it, but he no longer insisted, leaned on the head of the bed by himself, pillowed the back of his head with his hands, and smoked a cigarette comfortably with his head tilted.
Xincheng Hotel claims to be a three-star standard, but the interior decoration is quite luxurious, and all kinds of furnishings are made of high-grade wood. If all the lights are lit, such as the main lights, secondary lights, and wall lamps at the top, they will be as bright as day even at night.
Other audio, projection, video recorder, microwave oven, electric stove, washing machine, dryer and other household appliances are readily available.
The stereo that doubles as a bedside table is not comparable to cheap hotels, from decks, turntables, amplifiers, equalizers, to speakers, all of which are high-end appliances for export. Moreover, it uses five-point one-tone surround sound according to Diming, and the sound effect is not far from the concert hall even if it is not as good as the concert hall scene.
Then three meals a day, the reception standard on paper is three yuan per person per day, in fact, there is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish, mountain goods and aquatic products, and occasionally shark fin, abalone and other seafood purchased from Guangdong, and all of them are hand-made by chefs invited from the mainland, which is not worse than the standard of state banquets.
In this era, even cadres can't guarantee that there are big fish and meat to eat, plus strict management, the so-called ** is just a mouthful, and the idea is to eat something good. Measured by the standards of later generations, it is simply incorruptible and cute.
In the base area for two months, Xia Zhongyuan and other members of the research group had a special person to receive them, and they could go wherever they wanted, and they were often taken to the mountains for hunting and sightseeing.
Even this steel-cased lighter was a famous brand purchased from Hong Kong by the base and given to each member as a souvenir. Such a precious thing, even those who don't smoke or female comrades in the regiment laughed and put it in their pockets happily.
However, although Liang Yuan is good, it is not the hometown of long-term love.
The two-month investigation period had long since expired, and in order to stay a few more days, they also called the General Staff to say that some terms had not been negotiated, so they extended it for another week.
But now there are no more excuses, and I can't go back.
Before leaving, enjoying such a level of reception in the base area, thinking about the small number of their orders, Xia Zhongyuan blushed a little.
When they came, they were originally going to talk to Guan Fei about buying processors and then introducing them into the production line.
However, in order to support economic construction, domestic military spending has been severely compressed, making the troops feel a little breathless, and they are really unable to squeeze out a few dollars in the idea of feeding millions of troops. It is said that it is a small amount of purchase, and then the technology is introduced, in fact, it is a hammer deal, and after buying this first batch, it is impossible to buy it again in the future.
Basically, it is to empty the gloves of the white wolf, get the full set of actuarial processor technology from the base, and then use it for domestic use.
Even in the first batch, the military was only willing to pay 1 million, and it really couldn't get more.
Compared with the courteous reception here, Xia Zhongyuan felt very embarrassed, smoking a cigarette, and his mind was also trying to turn, wanting to see if he could help the base find some compensation from somewhere, and it was not in vain that people were so hospitable.
But there is only so much military spending, a little more here and a little less there.
Seeing that many key projects have been stopped, they are nominally turning into theoretical research to lay down technical reserves for the future, but in fact they are preparing to let them end without a problem. The projects that are still underway are either at a critical moment when they are about to produce results, or they are too major to be canceled as a core national defense project, and there is nowhere else to move.
In the case that the funds are so tight that he is about to be unable to open the pot, even if Xia Zhongyuan wants to help, he can't find the slightest loophole to exploit.
"Shame on people, shame on people!" Xia Zhongyuan smoked all the cigarettes, and he still couldn't think of a way, so he could only mumble guiltily to himself.
"Minister, this is actually not difficult!" Xiao Zhao helped him bring the ironed military uniform from the closet, and interjected when he heard the words.
Xia Zhongyuan is embarrassed about something, as his secretary, Xiao Zhao knows it.
For the long-term worry, it is the job of the secretary. Besides, eating, drinking, and taking in the base area, but there was no way to get things done, Xiao Zhao himself was a little unhappy, and immediately interjected.
"Oh? What are your ideas? Xia Zhongyuan's eyes lit up, and he sat up and asked.
"Although we don't have money, we have channels!
Didn't the gyrocopter in the base area want to help introduce the export through us? Anyway, we don't have a rotorcraft, so when it comes to selling to the outside world, it's not a problem to help them sell it by the way, right? I think this gyroplane is actually quite good, simple to operate, although the protection is almost good, but as a cheap air transport vehicle and strike platform, it is still good, and the most important thing is that it is cheap!
In addition to the military type, it can also be sold as a civilian type.
Also, Commander Guan said that the Type 79 automatic rifle used in the base area can also be exported, and when we are selling it to the outside world, if people are not willing to buy five or six and a half of us, then we can also recommend this weapon by the way.
In addition, we will definitely not be able to buy too many processors from military spending. However, can it also be recommended to various scientific research units and administrative departments? Aren't they always complaining about being blocked by Europe and the United States, they can't buy advanced processors, a small amount of purchases is too expensive, it's too waste of foreign exchange, there are processors that can be bought in RMB, or are they developed by our brother troops, safe and reliable, why not buy them in large quantities? This matter, as long as you help Commander Guan and them to say a good word or two at the corresponding procurement meeting, won't it be solved? ”
Xiao Zhao pointed his fingers and casually pointed out a few paths for him.
"Good, good! It's still your kid's brain! That's it! Xia Zhongyuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally not eaten and drunk for nothing, and he could be regarded as a little help.
It is very uncomfortable to owe a favor.
People say that great favor becomes enmity, that is, the other party's kindness is too great, so big that no matter how hard you try, you can't finish it, and in the end you simply turn against your benefactor, and you simply don't have to pay it back at all.
Regardless of whether Xiao Zhao's ideas can work or not, at least his mind has arrived, and it is none of his business whether he can succeed or not.
Thinking like this, the block in Xia Zhongyuan's heart disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.
"By the way, when I got up in the morning, I received a thank you call from the external reception of the headquarters, and the batch of tanks we contacted had arrived. Commander Guan and Deputy Commander Sun personally went to pick up the cars, and after inspection, they were very satisfied with the quality of these tanks. Xiao Zhao made the bed, rushed to the bathroom, helped Xia Zhongyuan prepare hot water, a face towel, and a toothbrush to wipe the toothpaste, and said inside.
"It should be, it should be." Xia Zhongyuan Zhi smiled proudly.
In principle, it was impossible for these tanks to be sold to the base areas, and it was he who made a bridge from them, so the top management was relieved. After all, 64 tanks are also worth tens of millions, which is not a small supplement for the troops who are now poor in financial resources.
Moreover, the batch of equipment given to the base areas was snatched from the 59 improved research and development group of the Ministry of Armament. Because it is a modified test product, each tank is carefully selected, the parts and components are the best of the best, and the quality is much better than the usual quantity, and it is also pre-installed with a 105 mm rifled gun, which has more firepower.
The on-board radio, the fire control system used in the command tank and other equipment are also the latest finalized models, and the electronic accessories can be said to have reached the highest level in China.
Two of them have been equipped with laser rangefinders, and this time they were also pulled over and given to the base without a price increase.
These attachments alone are worth at least millions.
Thinking of the look of surprise on Guan Fei and the others when they saw the quality of this batch of tanks, Xia Zhongyuan was very proud.
Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju.
If you are good to me, then it is natural for me to give a certain amount of reward within the scope of my authority.
"Are you here to thank you, and what else is there to say?" Xia Zhongyuan's heart was itching, he wanted to hear more words of gratitude from Xiao Zhao, and he wanted to know how they would react in surprise when they saw these included equipment, and asked with a smile while putting on his shoes.
"Got it!" Xiao Zhao poked his head out of the bathroom and said with a smile, "The call was made by Commander Guan personally, and he said that he was very satisfied with the quality of this batch of tanks, and he was very grateful to Minister Xia." In addition, he said that the base area plans to improve these tanks, but the base area has little experience in such a complex project. He heard that research in this area is also being carried out in China, so if Minister Xia is free, I hope that we can also send people to participate, and it is best that the group in charge of the May Ninth Reform also sends experts to attend the meeting, so that they can have the opportunity to learn from us. That way, we can stay here for a few more days. ”
He thought that Minister Xia would be very satisfied, but he saw that he was stunned.
"Still want to improve? How to improve? Aren't they satisfied with this batch of tanks? There are two of them, but the latest domestic improvement, which is already the best improvement under the existing technical conditions, how else does he want to change? Do you still want to change the 59 to the American M1A1? But Guan Fei is never untargeted, since he said that he still needs to improve, that is, there is a plan for the early years, maybe ......"
Xia Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment, quickly grabbed the phone, and said loudly to the operator: "I am Xia Zhongyuan, the general staff, please help me answer the capital immediately!" ”
