Liu Yijiu was relieved to know the six-star red flag raised in northern Myanmar in the southwest region, he didn't know if this would create a Singapore again, but he had to do these things.

The corrosion of power to people is very serious, especially in the absence of any strong supervision by anyone, he can only choose to believe in the most core members of Yang Wei's team.

As a result of the fact that they are busy working on tank-related technology every day, and the focus of work in the entire base is tilted, their tank project is far faster than the 541 tank base and the 617 tank base in Inner Mongolia, which received the military to develop new main battle tanks.

Originally, the project was called 59 reform, but after Long Yaohua came here to inspect the situation and learned about the performance parameters and shape of the new tank, they asked them to cancel the name of this project.

At the beginning, Long Yaohua's original words were: "Such an advanced main battle tank, once the research is successful, this is our domestic third-generation new tank, which will not be much worse than the most advanced tanks abroad. ”

Immediately, Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua with a mocking look on his face, what to name this project.

"Aren't all the advanced projects of the Americans like to be called X, the Soviet Union is directly how much T, Germany is called Leopard, since we Chinese are the descendants of the dragon, it is called Longwei, and after success, it is called Longwei. The dragon must be more powerful than X or something, and even more powerful than the leopard......"

Long Yaohua named this project such a dirty name, which made Liu Yijiu chill. A tank actually dares to call Longwei, doesn't this make Longwei too weak?

The other party is the big guy him. He couldn't resist, just whispered and told Long Yaohua. This tank was only a medium tank, but it didn't come to fruition. Long Yaohua pouted directly, "You already have a 1,500 horsepower gas turbine and a 1,500 horsepower compressed diesel engine in your hands, is it difficult to build a heavy tank?" The Soviets had 1,000 horsepower diesel engines staring at sixty or seventy tons of iron lumps, and they were all over the world. If there is no way to make a tank with the same speed as them when you have the power, I don't think you should make a fuss about it, and honestly develop it according to the arrangement of the military? ”

Long Yaohua: This is a threat.

However, in the face of this threat, Liu Yijiu and they have nothing to do.

If they want to maintain their own right to set up projects, they must conform to the bad tastes of these bigwigs in some ways.

In the spring of '79, the old man sneaked to the edge of the South China Sea for a walk and drew a circle casually. As a result, the reform and opening up of the republic was rapidly and vigorously launched. The construction of the special zone has allowed China's economy, which has been poor for decades, to take off, and countless foreign-funded enterprises have poured into the republic, bringing a considerable amount of foreign exchange to the republic.

Even Ye Suwen's S.W company became the first batch of American companies to settle in the Special Economic Zone.

The company's office building is now under construction there.

Originally, Liu Yijiu was worried that the domestic support in the southwest region would give Yang Wei and them ten tanks, and the international community would have a very big reaction, but there was not a single fart.

The Kokang armed forces led by Peng Jiasheng were supported by the Soviets, and the Americans were already unhappy about this matter. Now that there is another armed force that is at odds with the Soviets, and who are eyeing other Soviet-backed warlords, the Americans are naturally happy to see these things happen.

Even in some private occasions. The U.S. has hinted that China will step up its bold military support for Yang Wei.

Li Yunlong secretly told Liu Yijiu all this news.

For these things, Liu Yijiu could have guessed that the time for Yang Wei and them to enter northern Myanmar was very right, and the time to turn their faces with Peng Jiasheng. And the timing of its replacement is just right. All of this is in Yang Wei's own hands.

If the Americans had not poured cold water on the Soviets when the Soviet Union's expansion of the communist sphere of influence in Southeast Asia was in full swing, they would not have been able to compete with the Soviet Union for hegemony and eventually become a global hegemon. The master has been lonely for decades, and only after the rise of the republic does he have an opponent again.

Liu Yijiu didn't care about these things at all, and the conventional weapons they needed were very easy to solve. Rifles, bullets. Sniper rifles, none of which are a problem.

Because of the complex terrain over there, heavy tanks are not suitable at all, and the 59 tanks are basically invincible over there. Of course, this is on the premise that the major powers did not massively introduce the Soviet monkey version of the T72 tank. The old tanks of the Americans were no match for the T72 at all. What's more, even if they want to sell, in Southeast Asia, except for Thailand and Singapore, few companies are willing to buy their equipment.

"Director Liu, you haven't closed your eyes for the past few days, let's go and rest first, it will take two days for this tank to complete the final reloading!" Qian Dayong was very helpless when Liu Yijiu stipulated the commuting time in the entire base, but he took advantage of the loophole and said that he could accumulate rest, but as a result, he stayed in the workshop where the Longwei tank was assembled in two shifts every day.

The official level crushed people to death.

"Liu, I can't wait to see our tanks on the test site! Why do I feel like a year now? Can you get them to hurry? "Alexei, the representative of the Pakistani army, has been staring intently at this tank that has not yet been installed with a tank turret and other systems have been installed, and he is looking forward to it more and more." Minister Khaliak and Taka. General Aix is now coming this way, and they'll be visiting the performance test of our new tank! ”

Pakistan really attaches great importance to this tank.

The U.S. military's XM1 tanks have begun to equip troops on a small scale, and the other side is simply not willing to sell them to their allies in Europe, let alone Asian countries like Pakistan, at this time.

It has some XM1 tank technology on it, as well as Chobham tank armor, which the British are most proud of.

In addition, the experiments done by the Ninth Academy, their tank performance is not only higher than that of the T72, but also the attack power is also because of the 125mm smoothbore gun, and even the use of various armor-piercing shells developed by the North Industries Group and the special shells such as tail stabilized armor-piercing shells produced and researched by the Ninth Academy itself have improved the attack power.

The powerful engine of 780 horsepower can make this heavy tank weighing less than 40 tons run faster.

Later, when grabbing the territory of Kashmir, the T72s, which are the most advanced and proud of the Indians, do not know if they will be frightened when they see these tanks soaring to speeds of 70 kilometers.

"Comrade Colonel, our comrades workers have worked hard enough, they are desperately installing all kinds of equipment and conducting all kinds of tests every day. I'm sure you guys wouldn't want to spend tens of millions of dollars to get a tank that ended up being just a target, isn't it? Liu Yijiu said with a smile.

He wanted to see new tanks sooner than the Pakistanis.

If we can catch up with the time, we can start with Iraq and Iran, which are preparing for war, to look at them.

During the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq purchased more than 800 tanks, and Iran did not spend less money, and the number was more than 600. A total of 1,400 tanks, each worth more than $2 billion, is more than $2 billion.

Even if only half of the order is obtained, this will allow them to get the funds to develop two new generations of tanks.

How cheap is it? In the era when labor costs are basically zero, it is conceivable how much cost is required for technology development in addition to wasting some materials and testing has been reduced a lot.

Anyway, it will definitely not be the development cost of hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn.

Liu Yijiu didn't even tell them how much production and development costs a Longwei tank would need. Anyway, the money in Liu Yijiu's hands is now enough to support the operation of various projects, and it is impossible for them to be audited at this time.

"In three days, you'll be able to see black smoke coming from behind the butts of our tanks, and the engines roaring all over the proving ground!" Liu Yijiu looked at the two turrets in the workshop that were about to be installed for the final time, and then the main armor was installed.

The outermost camouflage was done at the beginning, and the engine tuning was done at about the same time as their tank.

There is also no way to do this, in the beginning, they simply did not have the right engine. The 617 tank base has also been unable to have a suitable tank engine technology, so the main problem of the Type 69 and Type 79 tanks developed in front of it is in power.

Liu Yijiu believes that once their engine is used in the test, then the Type 79 main battle tank will definitely be replaced with a more powerful heart and adopt a lot of the technology on their tank. Although the 580 hp tank engine is fuel-efficient, it is definitely not the most effective.

Liu Yijiu also likes to see such things.

The military expenditure of the Republic will be a very pitiful figure for many years, and when the military expenditure of the Americans exceeds 100 billion US dollars, the Republic has not yet 10 billion US dollars, and most of it is the allowances of officers and soldiers, living expenses, training funds, and so on.

Very little is used in equipment development.

"Report to the General Staff and the Logistics Headquarters, and in three days we will start the performance tests of the new tank!" Liu Yijiu commanded Qian Dayong.

Now Qian Dayong is running beside him in front of the saddle, just to reduce the burden of him as a director, Li Rui is still training in the female special forces team of the base every day, and the whole person is a lot more energetic, and many times it is an excuse that he can't come back from training, so he avoids Liu Yijiu's harm to her. (To be continued......)
