Chapter 213: A Combat Vehicle Comparable to a Humvee
"Yes, I just want to ask, are you Huayang Power interested in designing a brand new combat vehicle for our military?"
Director Qian's words were very straightforward, and his expression was very solemn, and he didn't seem to want to lie and fool Jin Xiaoqiang.
"A brand new combat vehicle?"
Jin Xiaoqiang's heart beat wildly, and then his mind kept flashing the pictures of those big guys who mean tough and iron-blooded, dreams that every man can't let go of in his heart!
"Yes, combat vehicles, hey! The mode of modern warfare has completely changed! It's completely different from before, we have fallen behind before, and now we need to catch up with the trend of the world. ”
Director Qian was looking into the distance at this time, his eyes were a little unfocused, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but his expression was really worried about the country.
In fact, in Jin Xiaoqiang's heart, he had already roughly guessed what this Major Qian was thinking.
Times are different, and the pattern of war is also changing, and the greatest impact on the fighting methods of the world's major military powers is undoubtedly the two Middle East wars that the Americans have waged in the Middle East in the past 20 years.
He allowed the Americans to show their muscles in front of the whole world once again, and at the same time brought a new way of warfare to all the world powers.
And this way of fighting is a completely new model for the mechanization of the army.
Through the observation of the two Middle East wars, the military of the Celestial Empire also realized this, and the current war is no longer as good as in the past.
And it is no longer an era when two legs can defeat four wheels, and the concept that manpower can never defeat machinery has penetrated into the hearts of many soldiers and has a profound impact on the concept of this generation of soldiers.
To be honest, Jin Xiaoqiang is very happy, seeing this, yes, it is necessary for the army to emphasize the spirit, but it cannot blindly emphasize only the power of the spirit, and at the same time pay attention to the improvement of its own hardware!
In the recent Iraq war, the Americans did a good job of showing their new combat mode to the world.
The Army, which used to be a combat squad, has now completely turned into a combat squad based on combat vehicles, and almost most of the Army's smallest combat units start with Humvee jeeps.
A Humvee jeep can carry up to four people, and this combat unit can not only provide rapid fire support, but also quickly and easily transfer troops in the shortest possible time.
And all the soldiers, out of some very necessary circumstances, generally will not get out of the car to fight, and the Humvee jeep at this time can also provide a certain degree of fire support to the soldiers.
Such a combat unit not only increases the movement speed of the soldiers, but also provides a certain amount of protection for the soldiers, so that the soldiers can save physical strength while reducing the damage of the stragglers.
Although there are some lists of the number of US soldiers killed in the news every day in the world, and the news of the Celestial Empire likes to report on how the Americans were slaughtered in battle.
However, anyone who is sober-minded knows that this is a national war, but so far, the number of casualties of the US military is only more than 1,000.
What is this concept? Destroy a country at the cost of less than 2,000 people?
Although this has a lot to do with the weak combat effectiveness of the Iraqi military, you cannot but admit that the US [***] side has been very successful in this annihilation operation.
The military of the Celestial Empire, in fact, had noticed this as early as the first Iraq War, and since then, the military of the Celestial Empire has begun to enter a period of Taoguang and obscurity, and has begun to carry out low-key transformation.
Several successive major disarmaments have reduced the number of troops and increased the combat effectiveness of the remaining troops.
However, because the country's economy was also at a crossroads stage at that time, it was unable to allocate more funds to the troops, which caused the progress of the Celestial Empire's military modernization transformation to be very slow.
In Jin Xiaoqiang's memory, his sense of the army of the Celestial Empire has always been mixed.
Although they have not been on the battlefield in the past 30 years, they have also entered countless disaster areas and provided countless rescues to the people.
However, the privileged cars with military plates running all over the streets of later generations, as well as the so-called soldiers who can become generals by singing and dancing, are also changing Jin Xiaoqiang's view of the Celestial Empire army.
Now Director Qian has found Jin Xiaoqiang and asked him to help design a new type of combat vehicle for the troops, which also shows that this army has not completely rotted from the roots, they still maintain the instinct for war, and there are still some people in them who are thinking about the security of this country, and they are still trying to improve the combat effectiveness of this army.
Such a request, how could Jin Xiaoqiang, who was a member of the Celestial Empire, refuse?
"What are the requirements for your combat vehicles? I would like to understand what the concept of the military looks like for such a vehicle. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang asked again.
"Hummer, you know, right? What we mean is to develop a combat vehicle based on the Humvee, so this task is not simple, to tell you that our military has also entrusted BAIC and Dongfeng to develop a new combat vehicle for us, but at present, it seems that there are still many problems, the vehicle can be formed, and the time for the use of the army may be relatively long, but recently your Huayang Power's performance in the automotive industry is very dazzling, so this time the military will send me over to consult, Let's see if you have such intentions and whether there is any possibility of cooperation between the two sides. Especially your name, Mr. Jin, is very famous in the automobile design industry of the Celestial Empire and even in the world, but the old man Liu of your factory often praises you in front of me, saying that you are talented, have ideas and are a genius, so we will come here this time......"
Director Qian's explanation was very straightforward, and it was best to praise Jin Xiaoqiang a few words, which made Jin Xiaoqiang's heart feel a little dark.
In fact, at this time, in his heart, he already has a general idea of the requirements for the military's combat vehicles, to develop a muscle car suitable for military use, and then launch a civilian version, which may be the dream of every man!
"Haha, Director Qian, you have won the award, but don't worry, I took this task of yours, and when the time comes, when your requirements for the vehicle are sent, we will start to study it immediately, rest assured that I believe that soon, we will have results here."
Jin Xiaoqiang boldly agreed to Director Qian's request.
"Haha, that's right, you're a genius designer, I like you like to be so cheerful, I'm very optimistic about you! No, here are some of the conditions we have for the vehicle that I have with me, and you can take a look at it now. ”
Director Qian really came prepared, and immediately took out a stack of thick A4 paper from a leather bag he carried with him, and printed and bound together the condition book.
Jin Xiaoqiang took it and didn't look closely, but just said to Director Qian.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll take a closer look later, Director Qian, it's noon now, you've been here for a while, I just got off the plane, and I haven't eaten much, I think everyone's stomach should be hungry, go to our canteen, eat first, rest assured that the quality of the food in our canteen is very good......"
Director Qian and Major Pan didn't have a polite relationship with Jin Xiaoqiang, and a group of people went directly to Huayang Power's company canteen.
But this meal is of course a small stove in the canteen, how can you not drink with these soldiers, Jin Xiaoqiang also asked the people in the canteen to prepare a few bottles of wine.
As a result, I didn't expect that Director Qian was a white-faced scholar and Pan Yifan was a woman, but the amount of alcohol between the two was not low, and in the end, Jin Xiaoqiang was drunk in the dormitory where he didn't know how to get back.
When Jin Xiaoqiang woke up, it was already night, he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and he was in the lounge next to his office in the office building.
After drinking too much wine, it will inevitably be very uncomfortable to get up, Jin Xiaoqiang called the canteen and asked them to send some hot porridge over, and then took out the tender book given to him by Director Qian, and began to look at the requirements of the military for their combat vehicle in detail.
After reading these requirements in detail, Jin Xiaoqiang felt that the requirements of the military could be said to be very strict, and even very harsh!
Vehicles are required to be able to work well under a variety of extreme conditions, including high temperatures, high cold, dry desert areas, humid rainforest conditions, and so on.
But also to be able to adapt to all terrains, including plateaus, deserts, and even muddy swamps.
And this kind of requirement still requires the vehicle to be in a state of full load, and the most perverted one is consistent with the requirements of the Hummer of the United States, that is, this kind of car is required to be able to work normally for 12 years under full load!
This can be said to be a very severe test for the power of such a model, the power of the longitudinal ability, and the durability of the model, not to mention that this car also requires adaptation to a variety of road surfaces, including many sports vehicles can not pass the road surface.
I'm rubbing, where is this a Hummer? Isn't this simply the Unimog of Mercedes?
It seems to be very difficult, but such a difficult thing, I seem to like it very much, Jin Xiaoqiang's blood began to boil, and he seemed to see such an absolutely NB muscle car, flashing in front of his eyes.
What model? I'm telling you in the next chapter! Hey!
