Chapter 399: Our Self-Developed Tank Cannon
The British played a good game.
What good would it do them if it was only to protest against the Eastern powers, or even to impose sanctions on them for violating the agreement?
This is harmful to others and not to themselves, it does not benefit them in any interest, and it will even anger the eastern powers, after all, they still need to echo the eastern powers politically.
Then, we have to think about the workaround, and this workaround, they are also very quick to consider.
You can't sell L7 tank guns abroad, it's against the agreement, but you can import our tank guns, our tank guns, mounted on Pakistani tanks, so that there will be no problems, and everyone will make money, isn't it great?
For them, this condition should be acceptable to both parties, of course, this is their wishful thinking.
This way is good for them, but not necessarily for the big countries in the East.
The reason why Lao Ba came to the big eastern countries to ask for help and improve the large number of 59 tanks they had on hand was, on the one hand, because these tanks were originally produced by the big eastern countries, and on the other hand, because the products of the big eastern countries were of high quality and low price.
The economy of Lao Ba is not good, and it is unbearable to spend too much, after all, there are thousands of 59 tanks, the base is very large, and all of them are improved, and the unit price is too high to bear.
The price of the L7 tank gun produced by the company is quite cheap, plus the profit, it is less than one-third of the tank gun abroad.
In this case, can Lao Ba still accept it?
I definitely don't accept it, this improvement, the focus of which is tank guns, purchased from the UK, then simply, just talk to the UK about the improvement, why do you want the big eastern countries?
The British, perhaps with this idea, robbed the business. As long as they agree to their plan and discuss with Lao Ba, Lao Ba will consider directly letting the British improve it.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhenhua had a smile on his face: "I don't know where you heard the news, in short, this news is problematic, we have such an intention, however, we naturally know that the L7 tank gun we introduced can only be used for our own use, not exported, so we will not use the L7 tank gun to modify it at all." ”
As soon as Qin Zhenhua said this, George on the other side showed a surprised look on his face, you don't use L7 tank guns? So what do you use?
George absolutely didn't believe it.
"We ourselves have artillery technology." Qin Zhenhua continued: "You should also know that we compared at the beginning, our tank gun is not inferior to the L7 tank gun, if it were not for some deep-seated reasons, we would not need to introduce it at all, to be honest, compared with the introduction, we prefer to develop ourselves, so we are very disappointed." ”
Lose? Lost what?
Qin Zhenhua continued: "Our self-developed tank gun, lost the opportunity to install tanks, many of our technical personnel's hard work, so in vain, now, it is easy to have such an opportunity, we naturally can not let go, even if our self-developed tank guns, can not take root in the country, to a foreign country, development, we can also rest assured." ”
"Are you saying that what you exported to Pakistan is a tank gun developed by you, not our L7 tank gun?" George asked, surprised.
If people didn't plan to use the L7 tank gun at all, then, their calculation would have failed, thinking of this, George's heart was already a little depressed, originally thought it was a big business, and thought that there would be a lot of rhetoric, and even there would be various commercial operations, public opinion manipulation, etc.
Who would have thought that there was no such thing at all, and people just said lightly that they didn't use L7, they used their own development!
At this time, under Qin Zhenhua's foreshadowing, the so-called self-research in George's mind is that the 100 is slippery, when it was first test-fired, the performance is indeed okay, if they use advanced electroslag remelting steel to build the barrel, the weight of the barrel can also come down, to say that the performance is still enough.
However, he didn't notice that from beginning to end, Qin Zhenhua had been saying that our self-developed tank gun did not mention 100 slips, until a few years later, when the project was finally finalized, a Type 83 tank gun was born, which made the British almost vomit blood in anger.
At that time, Qin Zhenhua was in front of George and said unashamedly: "It is longer than the L7 tank gun, how can it be the L7 tank gun?" ”
The conclusion that a grown white horse is not a horse made George's eyes white and he almost fainted, but after carefully looking for the terms of various agreements, he found that they really did not violate the agreement!
Now, Qin Zhenhua has begun to flicker, one by one of our self-developed tank guns.
In fact, although the 100 slip came down from the tank, in fact, it is still in development, and in a few years, it will appear as a Type 86 anti-tank gun, and, in the domestic plan, the 105 mm tank gun is just a transition, and the real domestic target is the 120 mm smoothbore gun, which is the main weapon of the advanced tank in the future.
"Are you sure?" George asked wistfully.
"Of course, we are sure that our self-developed strength is quite strong." Qin Zhenhua said: "If it weren't for the superiors who pressed us and asked us to compromise, we wouldn't be willing to ask for L7..."
This sentence is too much, George remembered the arrogant appearance of the other party when he was interviewing on the shooting range, and he immediately wanted to shoot the case, if he didn't want it, then we didn't want to sell it! Do you think we're catching up with you?
Fortunately, just before he had an attack, Qin Zhenhua spoke again: "What we want is the L11 tank gun, and the long-range accurate shooting ability is the most suitable." ”
Hearing this, the anger in George's heart disappeared, hmph, you know each other, but the L11 tank gun is the trump card equipment of our Royal Armored Corps, unless you buy our Chivoltan, otherwise, it will definitely not be exported to you.
This time, I originally wanted to pressure the big countries in the east and let them purchase a batch of L7 tank guns, but now, I finally understand that they have no intention of violating the agreement, and they are using their own tank guns, so everything has become boring.
After some further investigation, George led the team to leave, went to the second machine factory where the cannon was made, took a look, and left that night.
