Last year, an agreement was signed with the army to upgrade the existing 59 tanks of the army batch by batch, and one of the important aspects is to replace the 105 mm tank gun, and the domestic tank troops will gradually transition to the caliber of 105 mm, which is used to transform the existing tanks, which is quite suitable.

Now, this modification work is underway, who would have thought that the leader this time would actually say such a sentence, with this kind of shell, the tank gun does not need to be modified?

At the beginning, the business of modifying tanks, but we won it with strength, you can't do this! Qin Zhenhua opened his mouth wide, looked at Huang Lao's face, and his cheeks twitched.

"Haha, see? See? Zhenhua actually has a time when he is deflated! Huang Lao pointed to Qin Zhenhua's head and said to him.

Qin Zhenhua has always been quite shrewd, playing this and that, and getting the entire high-level of the first machine factory down, and now Zhao Guodong is almost his backer, such a guy, there are times when he is deflated, looking at Qin Zhenhua's appearance, Huang Lao said this, everyone laughed.

Qin Zhenhua couldn't breathe for a long time, and finally calmed his thoughts, and said to Huang Lao: "Huang Lao, this kind of foreign trade bomb is specially developed for exporting countries, to be honest, the potential of tapping 100mm rifled guns has basically come to an end, and now our 105mm tank guns have the greatest potential, you can't be so short-sighted!" ”

Of course, Qin Zhenhua doesn't want the troops to buy a few shells, and then the tank will not be modified, and now, the days of a machine factory are booming, on the one hand, because of foreign trade projects, on the other hand, it is also because of the domestic 59 tank modification, otherwise, just rely on the tank unit to order new tanks, how can it be enough?

"Say, go on." Huang Lao continued to say to Qin Zhenhua.

"For our country, the army's equipment maintains a unified caliber, which is conducive to the supply of logistics, so the front-line main tank troops should definitely be excessive to 105 mm caliber, and when all the domestic tank troops are 105 mm caliber, the 100 mm shells in our inventory are useless, and now we have to continue to order 100 mm shells, which is not cost-effective, and good steel is used on the blade." Qin Zhenhua said: "Huang Lao, you can't be short-sighted, you have to take a long-term view, saving money is costly, and saving money is saving money." ”

After Qin Zhenhua finished saying this, suddenly, he saw a trace of cunning flashing in the corner of Huang Lao's eyes, and suddenly understood something.

Oh no, it's amusing yourself!

"Well, though, if the troops want to do that, then we won't force it." Qin Zhenhua said: "We also want to make money with this cannonball, one hundred thousand." ”

Qin Zhenhua has already reacted, Huang Lao said this, just to amuse himself, how could the troops give up the 105mm tank gun? In that case, then I'll have it all set up.

You think it's expensive, it's not cost-effective, okay, I raise the price of artillery shells, 100,000 each, and if you buy 10 shells, it's 1 million, which is more expensive than modifying 105 mm guns.

"Look, that's the face of the capitalists." Huang Lao smiled and said, "Do you think that only you can produce this thing?" ”

If you want such a high price, won't I go somewhere else to buy it?

"That's right, this thing is really only we can produce." Qin Zhenhua said: "If other factories can also produce it, we will give it away for nothing!" ”

This sentence is not empty words.

In fact, a machine factory does not produce shells, shells are produced by a special ammunition factory, but the research and development of advanced armor-piercing shells is here, especially the warhead, which can only be processed in a machine factory, especially if the rifled gun wants to fire shell-out armor-piercing shells, the sliding bullet belt that is needed requires higher precision processing, and only a machine factory can do it.

Qin Zhenhua dared to play this package ticket, so far in the country, there is no second ammunition factory that can make it.

This is Qin Zhenhua's capital.

"Alright, no kidding." Huang Lao said with a smile: "For us, of course, we know that the 105mm tank gun is the best, but the country's financial resources are still limited." Especially now, the army is about to face a round of disarmament, military spending is stretched, we want to replace all 105mm tank guns, and we don't have the funds. ”

When Huang Lao said this, the expression on his face became serious: "However, our army will not frown, the army resolutely supports the leadership of the superiors, now, our country must develop the economy, economic development, in order to truly strengthen the army, strong country, now, the army must be patient, so we have to find a way from ourselves, find a way." ”

"Replacing the 105 mm tank gun is already a low-cost modification, but it is still unrealistic for our huge army tanks to be reequipped with all of them, and it takes time, and the tank guns on the second machine factory have limited production capacity, so ah, we must now maintain a high enough combat effectiveness, and we must also find ways to improve the combat effectiveness of the existing equipment." Huang Lao said: "Now, we can see hope, the 100 mm rifled gun can actually shoot a depth of 300 mm, order such shells, equip the troops, and at a critical time, we can still go up!" ”

"In the past, we only had a penetration depth of more than 100 millimeters, and we didn't admit it on the battlefield, even if we paid more than half of the casualties, we had to go around to the back of the other party to kill them! Now, with the increase in power, the troops are more hopeful. Huang Lao said: "More than 300 millimeters, it has doubled!" ”

Our army has never been cowardly, when the equipment is poor, relying on bayonets to see the red, won one victory after another, now, our country's economic capacity is limited, we have to make good use of the equipment at hand!

The modification of the 59 tank, of course, will not stop, it should be replaced, but it is impossible to replace it all, so there must be a part of the tank guns, and 100-mm rifled guns will have to be used, and now with such shells, the troops, of course, will be more confident!

Qin Zhenhua's heart was also boiling with blood when he heard this, he patted his chest and said: "Please rest assured Huang Lao, our first machine factory will definitely not disappoint the army, this is only the second phase of the bomb, we still have a new plan, the developed third phase of the bomb, the penetration depth must reach more than 350 mm!" ”

Although the Soviets boasted a lot, in fact, it is generally accepted that the thickness of the front main armor of the Soviets' T-72 is less than 350 mm, so if the potential of the 100 mm rifled gun is tapped to this extent, it means that their own 59 tanks can still deal with T-72 tanks!
