Chapter 522: Layout Vietnam
Zhu Yingqi can think of the key point, how can the people in the room not understand, not only that, but they, the backbone of those who specialize in technology all day long, see more and more thoroughly under the tube.
As Wang Dehua said, the rearmament of the firearm is not a small project, the composition of the barrel, the chamber, and the bolt must be adjusted, and it is no exaggeration to say that in addition to the shell, the core components inside are not immovable.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a new gun.
And a branch factory quietly did this to change the disembowel, what does it mean?
It means that a branch factory must at least have reliable production equipment, efficient workers, reliable management system, in short, they must have mature technology and reliable production lines, otherwise it is impossible to have such capabilities.
That's a production line that is enough to make brand-new firearms, and there are few similar equipment in the country, but a branch of Baiyun Factory has built another one outside the main factory, is it a coincidence?
Wang Dehua's eyes seemed to have an understanding, and at this time, Kong Rui, who was also a little stunned, also looked over, and under the four eyes, both of them saw a trace of clarity from each other's eyes, and immediately said softly in unison: "It's Chen Yaoyang!" ”
That's right, it's indeed Chen Yaoyang, since Repin's time, Chen Yaoyang and his wife have resumed their work, but Chen Yaoyang only briefly presided over the work of the technical department for a week, and then was promoted to deputy chief engineer in the factory, and then few people can see Chen Yaoyang.
People thought that Chen Yaoyang had received some secret research and development task and needed to be isolated and studied, but this kind of thing was too common for military units, so they didn't care too much.
And now, a branch factory has the ability to produce brand-new firearms, such a big progress, if you want to achieve it, you naturally need the guidance of a master, and there are only two such masters Baiyun factory, one is Bai Yi, and the other is Chen Yaoyang.
Needless to say, Bai Yi is now focusing on the general direction, and he is facing chief-level tasks all day long, so he naturally has no time to take care of a branch factory, so only Chen Yaoyang has such an achievement.
Wang Dehua and Kong Rui's guesses are indeed very accurate, and Chen Yaoyang is indeed in a branch factory.
In fact, as early as when Repin began to set off a storm of criticism in the Baiyun Factory, Bai Yi transferred Chen Yaoyang to a branch factory, and in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Yaoyang was assigned to the frontier because his arms couldn't twist his thighs.
In fact, since then, Bai Yi has already begun to lay out for the next step of development.
And one of the most important is to set up a branch factory, the reason why this is so is mainly because of the impact of Soviet-made equipment, so that Bai Yi has to leave a way for independent equipment to survive.
There is no way, it is really the Soviet-made equipment is too strong, and the huge surplus equipment of World War II makes the independent equipment with insufficient production capacity impossible to resist at all, even if there is a strong guarantee of 102 chiefs and armaments chiefs, but the independent equipment can only give way in the context of not being able to meet the comprehensive replacement of the army.
For this reason, Bai Yi has not worked hard, but in addition to the 50-type automatic rifle that has been put into production, other research and development plans are not approved by the superiors at all, the reason is very simple, the total investment in research and development and manufacturing costs are one-third higher than that of Soviet-made equipment, which is not counted, and it is too late in time, and Soviet-made equipment is ready-made, and it can be used directly.
In the face of this reason, Bai Yi really has nothing to say, the development of independent equipment is costly, troublesome, and laborious, and the reception of Soviet-made equipment is simple and fast, which is a great benefit to the troops, especially the volunteers in North Korea, Bai Yi actually wants to take such a shortcut, but the question is how long can this ease last?
Others don't know, but Bai Yi knows very well that it lasted less than ten years, and then as the Soviet Union withdrew all the technology and experts, China's industry, especially the military industry, fell into a huge quagmire, so that some factories could not produce even the most basic screws because of the lack of technical information.
The reason for such a situation is that there is no other reason for this, only because China's military industry has not formed an independent production system, just like a patient who has just recovered from a serious illness cannot walk at all without crutches, and the crutches that the Soviet Union removed from China at the most critical time.
Everything started from scratch, everything was beaten back to its original shape, and although in the end the Chinese gradually caught up with it by relying on their ingenuity and hard work, the decades of delay for this have made China suffer more than once.
Bai Yi is afraid of trouble, but he is more afraid of labor pains, since he can't have both, he can only choose trouble.
Therefore, when the General Staff Department was drawing up a comprehensive replacement of Soviet-made equipment, he went to the capital and refused to leave the home of the chief of armaments, and insisted on turning the immediate change of equipment of the General Staff into a gradual change of equipment, leaving a glimmer of life for the Type 50 automatic rifle.
But that's about it.
No way, in the face of the overwhelming 7.62mm Soviet-made firearms, the 6.5mm Type 50 is too alternative, even if it is an automatic rifle, it is still difficult to be the tide of Soviet-made weapons, not to mention the influx of a new generation of 7.62mm firearms represented by SKS and AK a few years later, the survival of the Type 50 will be even more difficult.
102 Chiefs and Chiefs of Armaments, perhaps for the sake of protecting their own equipment, will strive to retain the 50-type ratio of their troops.
But this kind of almsgiving arrangement can't form a benign equipment metabolism at all, which means that the Type 50 is very likely to become the swan song of Baiyun Factory's independent firearms.
This is true for the most basic guns, and the rest of the equipment will naturally be worse.
Because of this, Bai Yi, who wants to change all this, must make corresponding countermeasures to cushion the impact of Soviet-made equipment, and the key point for Bai Yi to deal with the buffer is Vietnam, which is resisting France.
Vietnam was chosen not because it was a hot spot, but because it had a limited choice of equipment.
Except for the Soviet Union, which is China, other countries just want to give, but they don't have the courage, let alone the ability.
Therefore, Vietnam's requirements for equipment are not high, as long as they can shoot bullets and kill the enemy, the Vietnamese army that is still in the guerrilla state will use it.
Such a picky child, Bai Yi naturally can't let go, the old guns and old guns accumulated by China over the years of war, change it to them, not only to clear the inventory, but also to maintain the continuous operation of the production line, why not?
What's more, if there are any new ideas, new ideas, you can also try boldly, anyway, the Vietnamese army is not picky, give them new equipment, it's too late to be happy, and dare to complain?
Of course, when the new equipment enters Vietnam, it will inevitably conflict with similar equipment in the Soviet Union, but Bai Yi is not worried about this, the conflict is the conflict, anyway, whether it is good or not is the Vietnamese army, as long as they are satisfied, even if the conflict is what, anyway, he has already tempered the technology and matured, no matter how crooked you are old Maozi!
