The 102 chief on the other end of the phone fell into a long silence, and only sighed after a long time: "You know that the central government knows that those of us who have come all the way with millet and rifles, that one is not like an airplane and a cannon walking all over the ground; Tanks, combat vehicles are used casually? ”

As soon as these words came out, Chief Zero was a little dizzy, but he didn't expect that the leaders of the central government were like mirrors in their hearts, there should be no reason to do foolish things, and it can be seen from the fact that the high-precision rifle is shielded everywhere, and the attitude of the high-level is very clear, this matter is ......

"You might be a little curvy too!"

Just when the head of Zero was a little confused and was about to ask again, the 102 chief on the other end of the phone had already spoken first: "Actually, the root is very simple, it is the word 'poor'!" ”

"I'll settle an army account with you, the Korean War has shown us the advantages of mechanized combat forces, so we are also actively preparing for the formation of tank divisions and mechanized divisions, these high-tech troops are not just equipped with a few thousand guns, I will take the tank division that is being formed as an example, referring to the minimum standard of the Soviet army, a tank division needs at least more than 300 tanks.

This cost alone will cost at least 50 million yuan, and the subsequent ammunition, fuel, personnel training, basic training, support base construction, supporting spare parts reserves, and a series of other necessary configurations will be 30 million less, so that 80 million will be gone, but this is just the basic structure of a tank division.

And our country is vast, how can one tank division, let alone five, meet the basic defense needs, this is 400 million, five divisions will eat 400 million, and the air force? And what about the Navy? Does the country still need economic construction? All of them are gold-swallowing beasts, and the approved military expenses are like pepper noodles in soup, and they will taste a taste when they are sprinkled into it, and they are not even delicious, so how can you say that such a large team should be for this! ”

The leader of Zero was stunned, if he still didn't understand the truth, then the leader of Zero would not be alive now, or the same sentence, the country has no money, military spending is limited, and the army is in difficulty in funding.

The new state, on the other hand, had to deal with imperialist infiltration, the division of national power in the southwest, and the threat of hostile forces in the southeast.

In such a situation, it is natural to accelerate the development of the army and ensure combat effectiveness, but the problem is that the country's financial resources are difficult and military spending is limited, and what can be supported is only a drop in the bucket.

If you want to maintain and improve your combat effectiveness, you can only mentally encourage them, so that the sentence is not too much gas and too little steel, and it is not the absolute will of the top level, but the helpless move of many leaders in the face of the predicament.

Chief Zero changed the microphone, and at this moment he could imagine the irrepressible regret on the faces of the senior leaders when they said this, and because of this, he regretted that he had not thought through the problem thoroughly and comprehensively.

So he sighed unconsciously and asked, "Didn't the Soviet Union give us a loan?" Isn't it enough? ”

"Loans? Hum! ”

The 102 chief snorted coldly, with endless ridicule and indignation: "They are giving us loans, not giving us real money, but they have been replaced with equipment and equipment in other people's countries, and they are also called helping us with one-stop service, obviously turning their left hand to right hand, dumping their old materials, and treating them as if they are really so good?" ”

The 102 chiefs were in charge of negotiations with the Soviet Union, and except for the only few times when they caught the Soviets' sore feet and got benefits, the vast majority of them were grabbed by the Soviets by the pigtails and sent to death.

But there is no way, once the United States and Europe have a complete blockade of China, they can only ask the Soviet Union for help; Second, no matter how old the equipment of the Soviet Union is, it is a much-needed good thing for China.

Under the dominance of these two major factors, it is no wonder that the Soviets do not take China hard.

It is for this reason that the 102 chief, who had suffered countless anger at the negotiating table, was so angry at the mention of Soviet loans.

After all, Chief Zero has been away from the center for too long, and even if he is well-informed, it is impossible for him to know so much inside information, so at first glance, when he heard that the Soviet loan was like this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

But what kind of person is the head of Zero, he may be afraid of anything, but he is not afraid of calculation, if it were not for this, it would be impossible to make a great reputation in Shanghai at that time, so he rolled his eyes and said tentatively: "In fact, we are not the only ones looking for loans from the Soviet Union!" ”

"Huh?" When the 102 chief heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then realized something: "Are you talking about the North Vietnam regime?" ”

"If the comrades in North Vietnam specify our equipment, what do you think we should do?"

"This ......" 102 leader was really asked by the zero chief, it stands to reason that if the north of Vietnam puts forward equipment requirements to the Chinese side, it will generally spare no effort to help, but the problem is that now there is no surplus food at home, how to talk about helping others, you have to eat yourself first.

But after thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong, twisted my eyebrows and thought for a moment, the fierce tiger eyes opened, held the telephone receiver, and popped out two words: "Soviet Union!" ”

"By the way, this kind of thing, who is it that you don't look for Big Brother? Who made him the big brother! Chief Zero smiled like an old fox, confident and happy.

Although the 102 chiefs were thousands of miles apart, he knew very well the character of his old subordinate, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Say it, how to do it!" ”

"Let's try your hand with a high-precision rifle first, you have to have bait to fish!"

"Okay, I'll contact the relevant units and send you five sample guns!" The 102 chief nodded.

"Okay, I'm waiting for good news from the teacher!" After speaking, Chief Zero hung up the phone, twisted his somewhat sore neck slightly, and immediately smiled, indescribably sunny......

"What? Say it again? Five sample guns? ”

Bai Yi, who was sorting out the information in the office, suddenly received a call from Song Jixue, the director of the factory, and the whole person was in a daze.

"You ask me, I still want to ask what's going on, you said that this thing happened, and I was about to dismantle a branch factory, and now I can't move these five guns, I really don't know what my superiors think!" Without waiting for Bai Yi to ask for details, Song Jixue began to complain, there was no way, he, the factory director, was also heartbroken for a branch.
