The military parade had passed, but Qin Zhenhua did not return to Grassland City immediately, because there was still a meeting to attend here, so he waited for a few days.

In the past few days, I stayed in the tank design institute, and occasionally went to the Capital Institute of Technology to go around, and a few old professors to study, yesterday, a large number of foreign language materials came, Qin Zhenhua alone in the tank design institute of the data room, the whole night, until the arrival of the elder.

It's good to be young, I stayed up all night, and now I'm still in good spirits, and when I heard Zhu Lao say that he was going to a meeting, he immediately got up and walked out with Zhu Lao.

What meeting?

When you enter the conference room, you will know that on the side of the podium, there is a horizontal banner with the words "It's written."

WZ123 Project Kick-off Meeting!

The 122 tank mentioned earlier, what else is the 523 armored car, the 321 chassis, in fact, if you talk about the full name, in front, they are all prefixed with a WZ.

Of course, this is not the English alphabet, it is all Chinese pinyin, the W in front represents the meaning of the weapon, and the Z in the back represents the armored vehicle, in which 1 represents the tank, similar, 3 represents the self-propelled gun, 5 represents the armored vehicle, and so on, now take this tank as an example, the second digit of 1, 2, 3 means heavy, medium and light, although it is no longer fashionable to call it so, but, the main battle tank is still attributed to the category of medium tanks, so, the prefix of domestic tanks, almost all of them start with WZ12, As for the last third digit, it indicates the number of schemes in the series. (This third digit number, also said, is for the first, second, and third generation tanks.) ）

There are many such sayings, for example, the famous ZTZ59D is also called WZ120D, the current 69 type is called WZ121, as for others, there are many, for example, ZTS63 is called WZ211, 63A amphibious is called WZ213, 77 infantry fighting vehicle is called WZ511, 79 ambulance is called WZ691, GSL131 minesweeper is called WZ762, 82A bulldozer is WZ902 and so on.

The meaning of these numbers and their representations is clear to everyone, and now, when he walks into the conference hall, Qin Zhenhua's new trend is also surging.

The research and development of the third generation of tanks is finally going to start from now on, and the curtain will begin!

The person responsible for presiding over the meeting is the leader from the higher-ups, after all, this new project is a key project of the state.

The thin Yu Lao sat on the rostrum, and next to him was He Lao, this kind of project, of course, the army also has a great say, after all, the use of the unit is the army.

In fact, the pre-research on the third-generation tank began a long time ago, when the T-72 tank was brought over, the tank design institute began the initial planning of the project, but, at the beginning, everything was unclear, just knowing, we want to engage in the third generation of tanks, but how to do this third-generation tank, what the specific performance data, everything is unknown.

Now, a lot of data can finally be decided, and with the successful conclusion of the military parade, finally, the project of the third-generation tank is about to be launched.

"Lao Zhu, come up." Seeing Zhu Lao coming, He Lao on the stage immediately beckoned to him, and then saw Qin Zhenhua behind him.

"Zhenhua, come up together and sit here."

Facing He Lao's invitation, Qin Zhenhua hurriedly shook his head, that position is not something he can sit on, Zhao Guodong is here, and he is only sitting in the second row below, he is going up, sitting in that position, so is it okay?

Although he has made a lot of contributions, he must be more humble, otherwise, gossip is indispensable.

Even Zhu Lao didn't sit up, but just sat in the first row, and at the same time the position was against the corridor, and after a while, he needed to go up to make a report.

When Qin Zhenhua sat down, Dean Wang Limin and Professor Cao Jianli of the Capital Institute of Technology over there nodded to him.

The Capital Institute of Technology, in fact, is an institution within the legal system, and these experts from the Capital Institute of Technology are also eager to participate in the front-line research and development work for the third-generation tank project.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's have a meeting." Clearing his throat, Yu Lao said there: "A few days ago, we triumphantly held a military parade, which showed the development of our country's military industry since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially our 80 tanks appeared at this parade for the first time, causing a great sensation. In the past few days, foreign military attaches have constantly come to inquire about the news of our tank. ”

"This is our achievements, however, we also know that the achievements can only represent the past, not the present and the future, at the same time, we also know that although we have 80 tanks, but, compared with the world's advanced level, there is still a big gap, we must work hard to catch up, today's WZ123 project start, is the pace of catching up with the world's advanced level."

"Now, please explain to you the needs of the army and the standards that this project needs to meet." After Yu Lao presided over the ceremony of the meeting, he quickly got to the point.

"A few years ago, we went to Europe and inspected European tanks, whether it was the Chieftain or the Leopard-2, we were shocked by the advanced performance of this tank, and this year, we went to the United States again and saw their M1 tank." He Lao did not directly talk about the goal, but first talked about some experiences.

"We went abroad, broadened our horizons, saw what the advanced tanks of the West looked like, and knew how big the gap is between us." He Lao said: "So, what should we do next? ”

"At that time, we considered introducing technology for production, but the West did not want to sell us first-class advanced technology, at most sell us some outdated technology, we wanted 120 mm guns, they refused, they could only give us 105 mm gun technology, we wanted to buy their tank diesel engines, and they also tried every means to refuse. They are only willing to sell finished products, and sell them to us at a high price, and their goal is to make money! He Lao's words resounded throughout the audience: "Then, we went to the United States, and the Americans came up with a plan to give us tanks for free, on the condition that they be included in their combat system, and when we fight, let us accept their command!" ”

When he said this, the atmosphere in the conference room had become serious, and only He Lao's voice resounded throughout the audience.

"One thing after another tells us that relying on foreigners is unreliable, and relying on buying cannot buy modern national defense! We can't wait, we can't be full of illusions, modern national defense can only be created little by little with our own hands! ”
