Chapter 033, eat and hold on
This answer made Canglong very happy, so he asked, "If we just use our current technological power, can we copy most of the technology?" ”
Khrushchev, the chief engineer from Russia, was stunned, he obviously understood what Canglong meant, this was not to cooperate with Russia, to use most of the technology that Russia has now transferred to Iraq, to imitate it himself, although Khrushchev wanted to help Canglong, but he shook his head.
"First of all, the technology is not good, and it can only be developed in Russia." Khrushchev said.
This sentence was true, and it did not deceive Canglong, because the deputy chief engineer Zhang Lu on the side also nodded, this engineer from China would never lie to him, as for their own deputy chief engineer, he was at a loss, obviously he wanted to tell the prophet a satisfactory answer, but his technical level was limited.
"So, we must cooperate with Russia to develop it?" Canglong asked suddenly.
"The two countries are a military alliance, and if they cooperate in development, Russia will export all kinds of technology to Iraq, which is a win-win situation." Khrushchev said.
"Okay then." Canglong nodded, left the research center, and in the office, he called Zhang Lu over and asked, "Do we in China have the ability to imitate it?" ”
"There is definitely ability." Zhang Lu nodded, "In the fifties and sixties of the last century, we were almost always absorbing the technology of the Soviet Union, and after the confrontation with the Soviet Union, we have been absorbing the technology of the West, that is, the reform and opening up after the second generation of leaders came to power, although it was only a short few decades, but we have absorbed the strengths of the West and Russia." ”
Canglong nodded, in fact, he didn't want to cooperate with China, after all, China is his motherland, but what he was worried about was that China was unwilling to export technology to Iraq, and what he hoped was that both sides would get technology, and the Russians would be completely different in this regard.
They don't have the money to research technology, and cooperative development is the best option, after all, there is money in southern Iraq now, so why wouldn't they do it?
"You say, if I propose cooperative development and share technology with China, how sure is it that China agrees?" Canglong asked suddenly.
Zhang Lu frowned and said, "You want to listen to the truth?" ”
"Of course, if you don't listen to the truth, do you listen to a lie?" Canglong didn't have a good airway.
"The chance is zero!" Zhang Lu said directly, "The reason is very simple, we did capture all the equipment of the First Armored Division, which is also the most advanced equipment of the US army, but"
"But what?" Canglong said strangely.
"Let me tell you the truth, our main battle tanks to combat vehicles, and artillery, are not worse than the Americans, and the technology is not inferior to the Americans, these equipment, and it is learned from the strengths of the West and Russia, studied for many years, and has long had its own set of technology, and now you say that it is possible to let the domestic technology be shared?" Zhang Lu asked rhetorically.
Canglong's face changed, the answer is of course impossible, first of all, China is not short of money, and secondly, Zhang Lu is also right, many of China's weapons have absorbed the advanced technology of the West and Russia, and after synthesizing, they have studied it for decades, and the technology is already very mature.
In some places, it even surpasses Russia and the United States, of course, Russia and the United States have the advantage of large weapons and equipment, such as warships, aircraft, missiles.
And these things, China is weak, but China is still catching up, either do the best, or not do it, this is the status quo of the development of China's military industry.
"That can only be done in cooperation with Russia." Canglong sighed.
At this moment, Zhang Lu suddenly asked, "Are you leaning towards China or Iraq?" ”
"What do you mean?" Canglong looked at him strangely, "I'm in Iraq, then I'm inclined to Iraq, but I will definitely not betray China's interests, I'm in China, of course, I'm inclined to China, of course, I won't betray those who trust me, such as the people here." ”
Zhang Lu nodded: "That's easy, you directly contact the General Armament Department, don't need technology, let them send experts over and set up a separate research room." ”
"Doesn't that mean you didn't say it? In the end, isn't the technology still in hand? Canglong asked rhetorically.
"Do you know what the biggest purpose of reform and opening up is?" Zhang Lu asked suddenly.
"Develop the economy!" Canglong affirmed.
"Wrong, it's the absorption of technology, even if you foreigner leaves one day, the technology we want to get has been obtained, not to mention that your factory can be moved? Definitely not, replace it with our own people, it's not the same, developed. Zhang Lu said with a smile.
Canglong suddenly understood, he looked at Zhang Lu: "You are so naughty!" ”
"Anyway, this is not a betrayal of any national interests, with the current relationship between Iraq and you, there are still many places for cooperation in the future, and in the future, maybe the technology will be directly transferred, and then there will be no need to bother, just let the new research center teach you by hand." "It's not a key technology, and it doesn't involve nuclear facilities. ”
"Yes." Canglong smiled and asked, "Is China's technology really as amazing as you say?" ”
"Don't embarrass me, these are all confidential, you are the deputy director of the General Intelligence Agency, and it should be clear to check the documents." Zhang Lu said with a smile.
But Canglong really didn't look at it in this way, the equipment is under the management of the General Armament Department, and even if the General Intelligence Bureau gets the information, it is directly handed over to the General Armament Department, and I have never heard of the General Armament Department handing over technical information to the General Intelligence Bureau, which is completely reversed.
"How long does it take to get in touch?" Canglong asked.
"Soon." Zhang Lu said calmly, "With your current status, the country will definitely give the green light, if I guess correctly, you want to reassemble the equipment of the US military and establish a US armored division, right?" ”
"Yes, but I know the wear and tear and age of the equipment, if I can't make it myself, just rely on others to produce it, if one day I have a bad relationship, my combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced." Canglong said, "And this American armor division must be formed quickly, because we are about to face a strong enemy!" ”
Zhang Lu was very professional and didn't ask any strong enemies, he just said: "It's easy to just produce matching weapons and ammunition, but to produce and maintain parts, I'm afraid it will take some time, but if the technical experts of the General Armament Department arrive, in less than two months, we can imitate most of the parts!" ”
Hearing this, Canglong gave a thumbs up: "It is worthy of being a copycat country!" ”
It was originally a joke, but I didn't expect Zhang Lu to suddenly become serious: "Prophet, you must apologize to everyone in our General Armament Department for your words!" ”
"Why?" Canglong didn't expect Zhang Lu to be so serious all of a sudden.
"Although we have imitated, but since the beginning of the 21st century, almost all the technologies we produce are developed by ourselves, and we rarely imitate other people's things, in this regard, we have paid a lot of sweat and sacrificed a lot of people" Zhang Lu's face was very solemn, "If so, you still say that we are imitations, then I think this is really unfair to us, because a lot of technology, you have to go one way, there is no second way to go!" ”
Canglong looked guilty, stood up and said, "I apologize!" ”
At this time, Zhang Lu's face breathed a sigh of relief, Canglong's reason for apologizing was very simple, because he did say it wrong, although he didn't understand these technologies, but he also knew that many laws of physics were almost the same, just like building an airplane, in terms of appearance, the planes of each country were almost the same, why?
Because it is impossible to change to other appearances in terms of flight dynamics, what is most suitable is used, rather than having to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to develop new things.
Many people say that the Americans' planes are beautiful, but most of the planes in service are not the most beautiful, and the US Air Force generally has a lot of templates when it wants to purchase aircraft, but the campaign comes, the campaign goes, and finally it is found that the most suitable template is still the same, which involves the laws of physics and also involves aerodynamics.
There are some things that you just can't use, and if you can't use them, you still have to use them, that is, you have to find your own death, and China's military industry can't help it, who will let you start late, there is nothing wrong with this, because many mature technologies have been developed by other countries, feasible, and will be put into practice.
China chooses these because there is only one way to go, and nothing else can be done, so it is naturally called copycat and imitation.
In fact, although China's military industry has borrowed a lot, those have to be borrowed, and if we reverse the relationship, China is in the front, and the United States is behind, and in the end, the planes made in the United States must be the same as those made in China.
After leaving the research center, Su Su asked Canglong where he was going, and Canglong said directly: "Basra Military Academy!" ”
"What are you doing there?" Su Su said strangely, although Canglong is the honorary president of the Basra Military Academy, Canglong's identity should not go there at all.
"Recruiting new recruits, the student army played well last time, so this time I hope that all the personnel of this American armored division formed in the future will be graduates of the Basra Military Academy." Canglong said calmly, "It's called the First Armored Division of the Youth!" ”
Su Su didn't expect Canglong to even think of the name, and said directly: "Then commander, you don't plan to use Lao Hei anymore?" I thought you were busy building this strongest armored division for Lao Hei! ”
"Of course not." Canglong shook his head.
"Then I'm even more looking forward to it, who can be more suitable to command this special force than Lao Hei." Su Su waited and watched, if you find a fool to come out, I despise your posture.
"Me." Canglong said with a smile, "I personally command, this army is not incorporated into the three group armies or the occupation army, it is directly incorporated into my command, and only obeys my orders!" ”
At that time, Su Su had an urge to smoke Canglong, and said in his heart, you are a leader-level person who is full of food and holds on, right? But in the end, he swallowed all the words back, and just said uncomfortably: "You can! ”
