"Although this cannon has a lot of shortcomings, the range is long enough, the power is large enough, and the cost is much lower than that of missiles......" Long Yaohua said with a frown. We hope that you will not mothballed the technology, and if you do not develop it further, you can hand it over to other brother units......"

"It's better for us to develop it ourselves. How many 203 howitzer battalions are the military ready to create? "Liu Yijiu doesn't want to get the technology out for others to mess around.

The 203 mm howitzer is the largest caliber howitzer developed by the Republic.

The 203mm howitzer studied by Tian Deming has a caliber of 203.2mm, a 52-fold body barrel, and a total combat weight of 18.7 tons.

The rate of fire is two rounds per minute, which is a little more powerful than the W90 type 203 mm howitzer developed by the Republic. The muzzle velocity is 1233 m/s, and the projectile weight and range are as follows: concave projectile with a weight of 101.9 kg and a maximum range of 53 km, and bottom row projectile with a weight of 103.4 kg and a maximum range of 70 km.

That's right, these things are actually theoretical data that can be determined.

Tian Deming lied about this matter, and Liu Yijiu did not hold him responsible.

Because this incident did not cause serious consequences, if it weren't for Ma Hansan, he wouldn't have done such a thing, under the hands of people like Ma Hansan, it is naturally impossible to do anything, any technician has his own temper.

Liu Yijiu looked at him differently, compared to Lu Ruixiang, who was just a good man with the mud. Tian Deming is much better.

After all, this guy has always been a taciturn person.

"Can this gun be developed into a self-propelled howitzer? In that case, maybe you can equip more. Internationally. Most countries are equipped with such heavy artillery, which is slow but capable of striking in depth! ”

"The development of self-propelled howitzers, it is possible. But this accuracy is still a big problem at the moment. These barrels are very difficult to machine, especially since the barrel is designed with 64 rifling lines. In the beginning, in order to consider the cost, once the rifling has been smoothed, the inner hole can be bored to a larger size. Changed to a 210-mm high-pressure smoothbore gun...... According to some of our technical research, if the barrel of this gun is extended to 17 meters, 80 times the caliber. Using rotational stabilization, increased chamber pressure and ****** temperature, a new type of shell was designed that could increase the range of the gun to 120 km......"

"Enough!" Liu Yijiu didn't expect it. This guy is of the same type as the artillery maniac Boole.

He never thought of it. Tian Deming will have such ideas and technical inferences.

When the Republic of China researched the W90 type 203 mm heavy howitzer, it can be said that it invested a lot of energy in this, according to Tian Deming's statement, most of them are almost the same, but the W90 type 203 mm howitzer needs to use a 130 mm standard bottom exhaust jujube nuclear projectile with a bomb support (weighing about 33 kg), which can increase the firing range to 150 kilometers!

It's just that the 17-meter-long barrel is difficult to process. It's just too big.

The current 52 times body tube is because their 57 times body tube cannot be processed to the required accuracy range. The level of production is not good, only one way to use.

The current barrels are already 10.5 meters!

"Lao Tian, I hope you can do your own things well first! Don't do it again like this time, otherwise no one will be able to explain it. "What Liu Yijiu is most afraid of is meeting a madman like Tian Deming.

Although, he is also such a madman.

However, artillery will really not have much effect in future wars, although the cost is much lower, this kind of artillery is simply not as portable as mortars.

"How accurate is this cannon now?" Long Yaohua glared at Liu Yijiu, not allowing him to speak, but asked Tian Deming.

"The range range deviation is within 400 meters, and the lateral deviation is within 120 meters." Tian Deming said without thinking about it, "Chief, this is just theoretical data, and the specifics must be determined after this test." ”

Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and glared at Tian Deming, but this guy didn't look at his murderous eyes at all.

Instead, he introduced to Long Yaohua in detail the various situations of the 203mm howitzer he developed.

"I'm going with you to the north to see the shelling tests. Liu boy, don't be embarrassed, from the very beginning, you have been obstructing the development of our country's artillery, don't you know that although this missile is accurate and flexible in operation, the cost of artillery is lower? Which country in the world has not developed artillery? Long Yaohua's words completely made Liu Yijiu helpless.

He didn't want the Republic to spend too much on artillery.

But he couldn't convince these bigwigs.

All kinds of methods have been tried, but these bigwigs were frightened by the guns of the little devils and the guns of the US imperialists.

Moreover, a missile can easily cost tens of thousands, but these shells only cost a few thousand yuan, and at most only one or two thousand, which is too cost-effective compared to missiles.

"Chief, what else can I say since you said so?" Liu Yijiu spread his hands helplessly and shrugged his shoulders.

"Since you can't say anything, shut up! Tian Deming is still in charge of this matter, I don't care if you do it in Daba Mountain or in the 2983 factory here, you have to see the finished product, and besides, your Ninth Academy has to be responsible for making self-propelled guns, aren't you studying the miniaturization of artillery detection radar? Isn't it working on technologies such as computer-aided aiming? When the time comes, let's integrate all these technologies......" Long Yaohua assigned Liu Yijiu a task.

Liu Yijiu didn't even have a chance to object.

He knew that this was not what Long Yaohua meant alone.

Since there is no way, we can only drag the progress as much as possible.

"Chief, there's no problem with the exit of this cannon, right?" Liu Yijiu suddenly thought that the cost of the republic to pay the bill was a bit high, and it was best to find some wronged culprits and purchase a batch of such heavy artillery, which would be no problem at all.

Whether it is Pakistan, Iraq, or Iran, it should be the most interested in this artillery.

"Who do you want to export it to? Anyway, you kid don't want to go abroad! It's a big deal, your fighter planes, the first flight time has been repeatedly delayed, I want to ask you, this year, can you see the first flight? Long Yaohua did not object to Liu Yijiu selling this kind of anti-heaven cannon, but did not want Liu Yijiu to twist him again to talk about whether the cannon was in line with the law of future development.

Many military experts in the republic, under the opinion that the Central Military Commission attaches great importance to Liu Yijiu, in light of the situation in various countries in the world and in view of the analysis of the actual situation in China, feel that artillery will not be able to withdraw from the stage of history in the next few decades, and that it will play an even greater role.

Long-range fire attacks, there are missiles, but the cost of missiles is high, it is impossible to carry out saturation strikes, only precision strikes.

And artillery, on the other hand, is completely capable of carrying out a large area of fire coverage, saturation shelling.

The appearance of a long-range cannon with a range of 70 km, and then it is possible to increase the range to more than 120 km, and the accuracy is not too bad, what a cheap mass strike weapon this will be!

"Boy, whether it is the Iran-Iraq War, or the Anglo-Afghan War, or the Soviet Union's Western-82 military exercises, it is telling the whole world that the development of artillery is very important! Whether it's a tank or an armored vehicle, it's a mobile artillery, but they can't use large-caliber artillery to increase their power......"

"Chief, I see!" Liu Yijiu sighed and said in a low voice.

That is, Long Yaohua will explain these things to him.

Liu Yijiu couldn't tell Long Yaohua that the gang of people who studied military theory in China couldn't see the form of future warfare clearly.

They just see what is going on in other countries, and then they think what is going on in China. The actual situation will not be taken into account.

"Even if you say that artillery will gradually withdraw from the stage of history in the future, but at this stage, our disarmament work has begun to be prepared, and the combat effectiveness of the troops must be improved, advanced fighters, we don't have them, even if the Longwei tank proves to be very powerful, you will prevent the army from equipping it on a large scale, and once there is a war, how can you still fight?"

"Chief, I see. Rest assured, for the project of a 203-mm gun, we will strongly support it. ”

"You don't have to object." Long Yaohua waved his hand.

He was afraid that Liu Yijiu would get in the way.

Only after the Gulf War and after the Americans show the world their high-tech means of warfare will these guys at home wake up.

China has always continued the Soviet Union's idea of the Continental Army, and like the Soviet Union, it does not attach importance to the development of the navy and other forces.

But because of the strength of the Soviet Union, the strategic rocket force, the air force, and the strategic submarine forces are all able to make the world tremble.

How many republics are there?

Perhaps, the development of artillery is also a helpless choice.

It's just that if there is too much investment in the development of artillery, it will affect the development of other weapons and equipment.

It is because the republic is poor, and most of the strategic focus has shifted to economic construction.

The development of a country's national defense requires not only the development of weapons and equipment, but also the support of advanced military theories, and at the same time a huge industrial base.

In China at the moment, none of these are any.

The Ninth Courtyard is like a castle in the air, maybe one day it will collapse because of some problems.

In future wars, basically every battle will not allow artillery to have any room to play. Because positional warfare is no longer applicable. The Iran-Iraq War was the last positional offensive and defensive battle in history that Liu Yijiu knew.

These, it will take time to prove.

Moreover, he is constantly improving Iraq's war potential, and the Republic will learn more from the Gulf War.

Now, it's time to lay the foundations.
