Chapter 376: Sell Our Tank
Salty radish is not worried.
At present, Qin Zhenhua is still just Zhao Guodong's assistant, this assistant to the factory director, can manage everything, but everything has to rely on Zhao Guodong's identity, which has a kind of fox and fake tiger power.
However, Qin Zhenhua doesn't mind, he always keeps surpassing, just for the ideal in his heart: to build the most advanced tank in the world.
If before that, even the tank factories went out of business, then what else to build!
Of course, it is impossible for such a large enterprise as a machine factory to go bankrupt, and the state will not allow it to go out of business, but if the entire factory is half dead, then there is no hope, and only a vigorous and thriving machine factory can support the dream of manufacturing the world's most advanced tank.
I haven't seen it for half a year, and there are still a lot of problems and contradictions in the factory.
Zhao Guodong frowned: "Find a way to pull orders?" The army has no money! ”
If the state wants to invest funds in the economy and develop, the army can only be patient, and the army is the first to suffer, and the second is the military factories such as the first machine factory.
After all, if the army wants to fight, it must have advanced equipment, and now, the army has no money to buy it, and those 59 tanks in the army should have been eliminated a long time ago, and if they had money, they would definitely buy hundreds of Leopard 2s from Germany.
The army was greedy for several years, and in the end it did not act, because there was no money!
At such a time, still want to pull orders?
"Take a long-term view." Qin Zhenhua said: "Since the domestic army does not have this strength, then we should look farther and more broad, and sell our tanks to the world, right?" ”
If the factory wants to survive, then there must be orders, and if it wants to develop, it must have a large number of orders, and it is not possible in China, so what should I do?
Of course, it's time to go out!
In the past, the state would also export tanks, but in the era of the planned economy, these had nothing to do with a machine factory, which was only responsible for production, and after production, how to distribute it was up to the state.
Moreover, in the previous era, when the country was generous and all foreign countries were military aid, it was believed that the export of arms was to support friends who shared the same ideals, and how could they collect money for good friends?
And all of this, as the country has opened its doors, has changed.
The country is going to engage in a market economy, and it is impossible to provide selfless assistance anymore.
"Sell internationally? Foreign countries are the era of three generations of tanks, who will take a fancy to our tanks? Zhao Guodong found that his thinking could no longer keep up with Qin Zhenhua.
Now, some people have thought about selling tanks, but thinking about what they have at hand, is it possible to sell them?
Its own tank, which is imitated on the basis of the T-55 tank, belongs to the first generation of tanks, and the mainstream of the world has begun to enter the level of the third generation of tanks.
Engines, artillery, armor, are two generations behind, how to sell them?
So, even if there was this idea, it was quickly dispelled by reality.
"But we're cheap." Qin Zhenhua said in one word.
The third-generation tank, yes, is tall enough, the large-caliber artillery, the high-horsepower engine, and the miraculous fire control system, but the price is also high. Even this big country of our own can't afford to buy it.
"Not all countries have enough funds to purchase third-generation tanks, and not all countries have this political condition, as long as we go to explore, we can still find some target customers in the world, especially third world countries, they have no other choice than to purchase our high-quality and inexpensive tanks?"
Arms exports have always been very linked to political interests, and it is impossible for Western tanks to be exported to the Soviet camp, but what about oneself? We don't need any political interests, as long as someone buys it, we can sell it, and in order to survive the factory, what can't we do?
Zhao Guodong's eyes lit up: "If you say so, there is still a chance to sell, it seems that it is time for the factory to discuss, but this is also far from quenching the thirst." ”
Selling tanks is not something that can be sold in a word, there are too many things involved, and it is impossible to promote a contract without half a year and a year, so this can be considered as a long-term goal, and the short-term goal is to find others.
"Yes, that's one of those directions." Qin Zhenhua said: "As for the other direction, we have to find a way from our country, this time I went to the army, I found that the current equipment of the army still has certain defects, in particular, they lack suitable battlefield repair vehicles." ”
The troops are poor enough, but the problems exposed in this war definitely need to be solved, so it is completely fine to dig out an order for fifty or a hundred more vehicles from the mouths of the troops.
Speaking of the field repair of tanks, the country has actually noticed this problem, there are already ready-made Type 73 tank repair vehicles, however, the number of this tank repair vehicles is scarce, and it has not become the standard configuration of the tank troops.
"If you want a qualified battlefield repair vehicle, you must first have high enough power to be able to tow a tank stuck in a swamp." Qin Zhenhua began to say his idea: "Secondly, it is necessary to have a large telescopic full hydraulic crane, the backward equipment of the hand-cranked boom, which cannot improve efficiency at all. ”
Type 73 tank repair vehicle, not even a crane, when needed, the use of a simple pulley, set up a hanger, extremely simple, even not as good as their own drive in the past old liberation of the truck crane.
There are gaps in the troops in this regard, and how can they not pay attention to the lessons learned in exchange for this battle?
Of course, there are other ideas, such as rescue winches, rigid traction devices, cane bulldozers, mechanical jacks, field disassembly tools, etc.
If there is such a big guy, it will be quite easy to tow back that T-34.
"This kind of modification can only be done by our machine factory, and we will use one or two months to get it out and take the initiative to sell it to the troops and let them purchase a batch." Qin Zhenhua said.
Zhao Guodong nodded solemnly: "If that's the case, then there can be more orders, but even if there are these, it's still not enough!" ”
A machine factory is a large factory, and the orders Qin Zhenhua said are only one or two months of production capacity at most, what about the future?
"Also, it's a military to a civilian." Qin Zhenhua continued.
