534 Our heavy tanks are what the military needs

Long Yaohua frowned.

Li Yunlong's face darkened again.

Long Weiyi is advanced enough, if he strengthens his firepower on it and has stronger anti-aircraft and anti-armor capabilities, he will be able to fire at the enemy's tanks from a distance of several kilometers, and in the end he will have to solve the problem.

Can China still use this weapon as a hole card?

"Xiao Liu, do you want to think about this matter again?" Long Yaohua did not oppose it with a clear attitude, but asked Liu Yijiu if he would consider the impact of exporting such weapons and equipment.

Once Iraq captured these tanks, the Soviet Union, which stood behind Iraq, and even the United States, would be able to acquire these technologies. This is a serious threat to China's national defense and security.

Not to mention the technical leakage, it will also be targeted by the other side to develop weapons, which has no deterrent effect at all.

Deterrent weapons and equipment can only become deterrent weapons if they do not allow the other side to find out the situation.

The hole cards are clear, what is the value of deterrence?

"There's no need to think again. Chief, we know what you are worried about, this tank, from the very beginning we have studied, after various technical demonstrations and analysis, we have come to the conclusion that the republic will not be equipped in large quantities, and cannot be equipped in large quantities. Whether it is 59 or 69 or 617 tanks developed in our country, they are all medium tanks. Equipping too many medium tanks without heavy tanks does not give the slightest boost to the country's defense forces. Xie Heping naturally knew what Long Yaohua was worried about.

Long Yaohua initially asked the 541 base to increase production and expand production capacity, but Liu Yijiu resisted.

Now they are worried that the most advanced weapons systems will leak out. It is natural to threaten the cause of national defense. If it weren't for knowing the plans inside the base. He would even have such concerns.

"Yes, Chief. We think a lot about this, and we don't have to worry about technical leaks. This tank is only an experimental product for us, and the development of tanks for the army of our country began long ago. Once the theoretical design is completed, the production of the verification car will be quickly carried out...... "Qian Dayong, as the main person in charge of the fifth district, naturally has to stand up and answer the question when it comes to his scope of work.

Director Liu can't be in charge of everything.

"At the moment we have a project that started after the research work was basically completed and the production of a prototype was started, which is a heavy tank with a total weight of more than 70 tons. Many technologies are upgrades from Longwei. More ferocious firepower, stronger defense capabilities, richer combat modes......" Jiang Ming also began to introduce their new project.

This introduction drew everyone's attention to the new tank project.

"The most important thing is that after the production of such tanks, they will not be exported, at least, until we do not have a new generation of tanks. We don't sell it for as much as it takes. Of course, if the military is not interested, it will be clear......" Liu Yijiu said with a smile.

He understands better than anyone else what the national interest is.

Know better than anyone what you can sell for the world to know. Something must be left in the hand.

The development idea of the new generation of tanks is directly towards the tanks of the later 21st century, incorporating some technologies that can be realized now. Reserved a lot of room for upgrades for the final version. It's the fire support platform he used in his time!

"You've got a new tank project? You know, none of you have completely finalized Long Weiyi's technology! Li Yunlong was speechless again.

These guys don't really feel bad for money.

No wonder there are not enough people in the Ninth Courtyard.

"This is not a new project. Rather, we were prepared to study heavy tanks from the beginning, and after the evaluation of our base, as well as the technical reserves of tanks in us, we did not study the basis of heavy tanks at all. Therefore, there is the Longwei, the success of the Longwei, and the gas turbine and compression diesel engine obtained from the Americans, which made it possible to realize this heavy tank. "I led a group of bigwigs to the technical design room.

A model of a heavy tank is displayed directly on the drawing table at the entrance.

Jiang Ming pointed to the model and introduced, "This is our real tank project, and it is not for money to prepare for export, but a new generation of battle tanks that are really being studied by our troops." The same 125 mm smoothbore gun, but with the addition of artillery detection radar, search radar, and at the same time, two different models of anti-aircraft missiles and anti-armor missiles are installed. The required range of anti-aircraft missiles is 15 kilometers and the height is 6 kilometers...... The anti-armor missile requires the penetration of 330 mm of vertical armor at a range of five kilometers and has precision guidance......"

"Cut!" The discordant sound suddenly rang out. "Comrade, you have to eat bite by bite, Ruth has to go step by step. How long will it take for a tank like yours to go from theory to practice? When will I be able to see the prototype and complete the test? And then when will it be able to equip the troops? ”

An old man said dissatisfied.

"You are clearly selling the most advanced weapons and equipment to the detriment of the country's interests, and then shirking responsibility with a so-called more advanced design scheme!"

The old man didn't give people a chance to interject at all.

This is what most people think, and Long Yaohua also agrees with this statement.

And for the sake of this old man, he stood up for him, and said to Liu Yijiu earnestly, "Xiao Liu, no matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, they can't appear in our army's equipment sequence, and they can't be equipped on a large scale. If you want to talk about advanced design theory, our military can have a lot of it......"

In many cases, it is because the cost is too high and the results cannot be seen in the short term, that they are forced to disembark when the current national strategic focus is developing in the direction of the economy.

"If there is no Nine Courtyards, no Long Weiyi, will our country be directly destroyed by the enemy?" Wang Shunyi and the others all knew that Long Yaohua was saying this to Liu Yijiu, which was actually a warning to all of them.

What the Ninth Academy did this time made the entire military top brass very dissatisfied.

At the meeting in the morning, Long Yaohua told Li Yunlong so much, but Liu Yijiu didn't eat oil and salt.

If the bigwigs have to talk about it. They couldn't resist at all. Eventually, the contract is ruined. Then destroy the efforts of the Ninth Academy in the past few years and discourage everyone's enthusiasm. Keep going back to the way it was.

Therefore, Wang Shunyi didn't care that the general staff and logistics bosses were in front of him, and he didn't wait for young people like Liu Yijiu to come out and take the lead.

"......" Long Yaohua and the others had nothing to say.

"According to our design philosophy, these tanks, once they are produced, will not continue to be produced for at least 50 years. It's just a technical upgrade for tanks, for example, to replace the fire control system, which is more efficient. Engines with less effort, etc. ......"

The concept of upgrading the M1A2 from the United States, which was generated by the U.S. government in order to reduce military spending, was directly used by Liu Yijiu.

"How much money will be saved for the military? Is it bad for research in other fields? I've been waiting for decades, and now I'm in such a hurry? Besides. In the event of a war, we would be able to increase production to 200 units per month in a short period of time! As long as we have many supporting factories in our hands. The technical transformation of all our civilian production units is taken into account for the direction of military production! Wang Shunyi gritted his teeth and said.

This is a secret of the Ninth Academy.

It itself should not be said at this time.

Once such a secret is exposed, it will offend a large part of the entire military industrial system.

Now, in order not to be diverted from being diverted to the fact that these bigwigs are once again diverting their attention to exporting some technologies that should not be exported without going through the higher authorities, they can only change the topic.

"How many years can I complete the design. Produced as a test car? Long Yaohua didn't speak, but asked in a low voice.

He understood the meaning of the Nine Courtyards, they hoped that the country would match high and low in terms of equipment. And not desperately producing low-end weapons and equipment, as it is now. Use some funds for R&D on high-end equipment, and then save money. Wait until the high-end equipment comes out before purchasing.

This kind of thinking is advanced.

Especially their design ideas, when designing this generation of tanks, they reserved room for upgrades.

Seemingly. This time I went back to the military and had to make a lot of noise!

"At the latest, five years at the latest, you will be able to see the first generation of experimental vehicles. Anti-aircraft missiles. It is the third generation of Houyi and Black Arrow that we are about to study next! If it is in another unit, it is impossible, but in the Ninth Hospital. No, we don't need too long a technical argument, and we don't need too long a discussion! As long as we feel we can improve performance, and we think we can design it, we will spend money and effort to make it, even if it fails. Anyway, we don't need political achievements in the Ninth Academy! Liu Yijiu said it very bluntly.

The other bigwigs don't know why Liu Yijiu said this, but Li Yunlong and Long Yaohua know it clearly.

The people of the Ninth Academy basically have no possibility of promotion.

They also have a 619 project!

"Besides, if we don't export, where will the funding for our research come from? We don't care about the supporting units outside, it's just that there are more than 10,000 mouths in this big bus mountain, how can we feed them? Continue to eat state relief food, mixed without dying or living? We can't afford to lose that person in the Ninth Academy! Liu Suxue began to put pressure on Li Yunlong and Long Yaohua.

The state did not contribute money for the construction of this base, but only manpower, and a lot of equipment was also left by Liu Suzhi.

Even so, the state did not let the people of the Ninth Academy, who gave up everything for the country, get a better life, and even worse than other scientific research units.

"Alright, don't talk about money all the time. You all know the situation of our military. Don't have a few dollars in your pocket! Long Yaohua said with a wry smile.

He couldn't argue with it.

The purpose of their visit this time was disturbed by these guys in such a short time.

I can't bring it up again.

Everyone had nothing to say, and after learning more about the development ideas of the new generation of tanks in the busy technical research room of the fifth district, in order to change the topic and break the embarrassment, Long Yaohua once again proposed to go to the production and research workshop to see the Longwei tank.

The production research experimental workshop is all single-piece and small-batch production, and the original machining production tasks are handed over to the processing plant in the third district for manufacturing.

Later, after the Ninth Academy took the 541 base into the bag, a large number of 541 technical experts were mobilized to the fifth district, and the coordination with the third district was not too convenient. Finally, a machining workshop was set up here, mainly to study the processing technology and accuracy of key parts of the tank.

Such a workshop is equipped with the best skilled workers and the best equipment.

CNC machines, in which, began to become common.

All of them are produced in the third zone.

"If all our military units can obtain such CNC machine tools in large quantities, the processing capacity will increase a lot!" Li Yunlong said like a resentful woman.

This time he went to Daba Mountain, he felt particularly aggrieved.

In the capital, he was scolded for Liu Yijiu because of his identity and relationship with Liu Yijiu. When he got here, he didn't want Liu Yijiu and the others to see him.

"We'll talk about it when we have it ourselves. The third district is fully engaged in research and production, and the technology is being transferred to our machine tool manufacturing plant in Rongcheng. Not only within our base, but even in our subordinate supporting units, the gap is very large. Liu Yijiu did not say whether it would be provided to other units.

At present, Zheng Hao and Xie Heping are cooperating with some large machine tool manufacturers in Northeast China to produce CNC machine tools, but the other party relies on them to be national key enterprises and is not willing to give too much profit to the Ninth Academy. At the same time, the Ninth Academy was asked to transfer the technology at a low price, which made Zheng Hao very angry.

"This time here, not only because your tanks and anti-aircraft missiles have shown too good performance and the country has lost two hole cards, but also because the Iranian side has sent people here, what is the purpose of the visit, you should know ......" After learning about the base, Li Yunlong went to Liu Yijiu and Li Rui's dormitory with Long Yaohua under the pretext of seeing his daughter, but Li Rui was sent out to guard the door.

Li Yunlong said to Liu Yijiu very seriously.

"Come on." Liu Yijiu said disapprerovingly, "The big deal is to speed up the progress and let us provide more anti-aircraft missiles." The first ten of those things were given to them as an add-on, and if we want to buy them this time, we will have to decide the price......"

"You did it on purpose?"

"Of course, experimentation comes first. If you don't perform well, it's time for a test. If you perform well, you will be used as an advertisement. Liu Yijiu nodded. This time, it was indeed our lack of thoughtfulness that made the chiefs embarrassed. I know that there should be many people who will have opinions about us, and I wish that our Ninth Court would go bankrupt......"

Liu Yijiu is not unaware of this incident.

The better they behave, the more pressure they will have.

Eye redness is a characteristic of the Chinese.

"You don't have to worry about this, do your thing well. During this time, the military is expected to face a lot of pressure. The Americans said that Long Weiyi stole their technology...... "As soon as Li Yunlong's words came out, Liu Yijiu understood why they came to the base at this time. (To be continued......)
