September 22, 1980.

Just after entering the 80s, the world situation suddenly underwent a great change, with an overall cold war and a local hot war, but the two warring sides still had nothing to do with the two hegemons of the United States and the Soviet Union.

In short, the fight began.

As long as there is a fight, it will be good for your side.

Now, there is no need to worry about exports.

There is a lot of resistance to the export of 69-2 foreign trade tanks, in addition to the quality of the first batch of products, of course, there is also the resistance of the Soviets, the Soviets' tanks are the only choice for the country, and now, suddenly to import tanks from the eastern powers, the Soviets are of course unwilling, and they must make things difficult in every way.

Now it's okay, it's time to fight.

What will be the attitude of the Soviets after the fighting?

The attitude of the Soviets was very strange, they wanted to win over another country, and they always felt that this country was against the United States, so the Soviets took this opportunity to pull over and achieve a strategic breakthrough, and the originally close countries here were left out in the cold.

The long-awaited opportunity of a machine factory has finally arrived.

Afterwards, many people were envious of Qin Zhenhua and Zhao Guodong, at the beginning, a machine factory was facing a crisis of life and death, and even Ma Panshan took the blame and resigned, thinking that there was no way to continue to lead a machine factory, and it could not be yellow in his own hands.

At that time, no one dared to take it, and they all thought it was a hot potato, so Qin Zhenhua and Zhao Guodong could be regarded as coming up, and this pair was also considered to be ordered in danger, just like Liu Bei was a lonely person back then.

And now, someone is already going to have pink eye in the back, and you're so lucky!

After taking office, within a few months, there was a war here, there was no problem with the export of weapons in the future, even the poor quality was wanted, the modification plan of the army's 59 tanks was also decided, and both domestic and foreign countries were making money.

There must be people who think this way, but now that the dust has settled on a machine factory, it is not so easy for them to pick fruit again.

To say that this is because of good luck, it is true that there is an element of luck, but it is not all an element of luck, and opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared!

If the 59 tank modification program of the first machine factory does not have enough advantages, then the domestic orders may fall on the second machine factory, and even be snatched away by the first tractor factory.

Now, when the news came, everyone was stunned.

Some people are sighing, Qin Zhenhua's analysis is really right, some people are envious, now it's okay, it's time for a machine factory to grab money, and some people are worried that the world situation will become more and more chaotic, and will there be problems with domestic economic development?

The arrival of this news caused an uproar, but for now, it is not enough for everyone to stop immediately.

"This is our 1223 tank prototype." Came to the workshop, finally assembled, and the tank that was about to be completed appeared in front of everyone.

After the group of people in the R&D room were fired, the project fell to the team of Storm Tank, and everyone accelerated the progress, and within a few months, it was completely done.

This tank is very similar in appearance to the original three-liquid tank, with a structure of six pairs of load-bearing wheels underneath and a cast hemispherical turret on top.

This thing originally had a lot of technical foundations, and those stupid people in the R&D room were so greasy and crooked that they sued in the capital, and they didn't make it, but when it came to their own hands, it was quickly completed.

Today's meeting on the modification of the 59 tank, Zhu Lao did not attend, because he was not worried at all, and now, he is next to this tank, directing the installation of the final components.

"Lao Zhu, they all said that you are already happy." Huang Lao said: "A machine factory is simply your home. ”

"yes." Zhu Lao said: "The 1223 tank has been assembled, how about it, do you want to go up and try it?" ”

Finally completed all the final assembly projects!

"Really? That's great. Huang Lao said, "I'm going to try." ”

After saying that, he climbed up.

The turret directly uses the existing turret, and everything inside is familiar, at this time, revealing half of the body, Huang Lao sighed very much: "This tank, a big circle, really good." This turtle shell, buckled on this car body, feels more suitable. ”

"All of our technologies are almost ready-made, which can be regarded as improving by using the storm tank technology of foreign trade." Zhu Lao said: "At the seminar, this 1223 tank was only used as a low-grade product, but now I feel that if the army is in urgent need of advanced tanks, it may as well consider equipping a batch." ”

Such a tank?

Six pairs of load-bearing wheels are used to increase the body space, and a 730-horsepower diesel engine is used, and the entire chassis can be said to have reached the highest level in China.

Although the performance of foreign countries is better, but it is unaffordable, in comparison, it is still cheap and practical in China.

The turret is also ready-made, which saves the cost to the maximum, and moreover, it is also convenient for the modification and training of the troops, after all, it is almost the original product.

"You're talking about a plan." Huang Lao said: "Our tank troops, we have been waiting too long. ”

Back then, when the 59 tank was just equipped, it was still in sync with the world, but after that, for more than 20 years, there was almost no progress, and Western tank technology was developing by leaps and bounds.

The domestic 59 tank is still a first-generation tank, and the Western one is already a third-generation tank.

Why doesn't the army want to buy a batch of Leopard-2 tanks to achieve rapid development of equipment, but the country's economy is limited.

In the end, it only introduced two types of L7 tank guns and 331 diesel engines, hoping to pave the way for their own advanced tanks on the basis of mastering these technologies.

"It is unrealistic for us to want to have modern tanks all at once, and in the current situation, it is best for us to run in small steps, continue to improve and upgrade, and continue to develop them, and at the same time, the troops can also be equipped one after another, so that the troops can provide us with enough development funds." Qin Zhenhua said beside him.

"You are still short of money in a machine factory?" Xie Huimin quipped on the side.

"Of course, we have made a long-term plan to invest more money in R&D, and we still have so many workers to feed, of course, we are short of money."

"Over there, it's a 69-3 tank, right?" Huang Lao stood on the 1223 tank and asked Zhu Lao.
