The top brass of the army is very concerned about the war there, and the results of internal discussions and analysis are that the Iran-Iraq war will end in one or two years, and in two or three years at the longest. They don't think either Iran or Iraq wants to spend it. However, the leaders of the Chinese army in this era do not know much about the history of the Middle East, and you do not know that Shiites and Sunnis are mortal enemies. At this time, Iran is in power with Shiites, while Comrade Lao Sa in Iraq is a Sunni, and there will be absolutely no ceasefire unless you fight to the death and fight until you are exhausted.

"Chief, Iran and Iraq are both countries where the majority of the population is a religion, with the majority of the population being Shiites and a minority being Sunnis. Relations between Iran and Iraq should logically be friendly. The feud between the two major sects of the church, Shia and Sunni, goes back thousands of years. To put it simply, the root of the conflict between the two factions lies in the disagreement over the legitimacy of succession. Shiites believe in hereditary principles, and Sunnis believe that they are the ones who follow traditions. To put it simply, the heir to the sect that you recognize is something I don't recognize. So there was a conflict, and it lasted for thousands of years. ”

After a pause, Li Lu continued, "The current situation is that Iraq is in power with Sunnis, and it is impossible to negotiate on the border issue, and there are two factional countries with traditional contradictions, so they fight. Another factor is that there is the shadow of a great power behind Iran. Iran used to be the dog leg of the United States, and after the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty, it became a thorn in the side of the Americans. I will support what the enemy opposes, and according to this principle, the Soviet Union took the opportunity to win over Iran. The Americans had no choice but to support Iraq, because Sunni-ruled Iraq did not like Iran in any way. However, the support of the two superpowers is limited, and neither of them has any intention of tearing their faces. ”

Smiling, Li Lu said, "Chief, this issue is going to be discussed, and it can be discussed for several days." All in all, the factors influencing the Iran-Iraq war are very complex, including historical grievances and border disputes, and the actions of both sides of the Cold War behind it, and the policies of the US government are greatly influenced by oil interests......

Li Lu briefly said his analysis, and did not plan to talk about it for a long time, if he continued to talk about this topic, it would be impossible to finish it for hours. The historical grievances within the Middle East are extremely complex. After the discovery of oil, the situation over there became even more complicated, with all kinds of interests entangled in it, and countries with some ability yearning to get their feet in there.

It's both a powder keg and the only place with the most turbid water in the world's hot spots.

Fang Hecheng was an eye-opener, at least what Li Lu said about the historical grievances within the *** sect (***), he heard of it for the first time. Because of the environmental constraints of the past, most of the leaders of this era had very little understanding of the outside world, and the leading cadres of the armed forces even felt ridiculous about the concept of science and technology.

"Xiao Li, you should go to research, do research on the international situation, and do business, you are a talent." Fang Hecheng said with a sigh.

Shaking his head with a smile, Li Lu said, "Business is not easy to do, especially the arms business. The Red Star Factory will not only build tractors, nor will it be just an automobile factory that makes cars, and in the future, it will have to find a way to manufacture defense equipment. This is my ideal, and it is also an important part of what I believe is a rich country and a strong army. ”

He pondered, and the topic returned to the matter of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, gritted his teeth and said neatly, "Chief, it's really a pity to transfer the equity." It really doesn't work, I personally paid for it to donate to the troops, so as to avoid some matters that need to be paid attention to in transactions between enterprises and troops. ”

Fang Hecheng did not doubt Li Lu's feelings for the troops at all, and even he knew very well that Li Lu, who had fought on the front line for two years, loved the troops deeply and even above everything else.

However, Fang Hecheng couldn't bear to do this, and he also thought it was inappropriate.

"Xiao Li, I understand your feelings." Fang Hecheng sighed and said, "Five-axis linkage CNC machine tools are different from other equipment. If it's ordinary machinery and equipment, cars or something, if you want to donate it personally, you can donate it, and everyone is warmly welcome. ”

Li Lu was also silent, indeed, the difference between the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool is that it is a five-axis linkage CNC machine.

At any other time, there would be no need to be so verbose, but now is the honeymoon period of Huamei - the Yankees are adamantly not allowed to sell such machines and equipment to China. This is the general environment, so that every detail of the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool must be rigorous, even if it is discovered by the Americans in the future, it can also have a reasonable and well-founded rebuttal.

Fang Hecheng has problems for him to consider, this is a helpless reality.

"In this case, the only way to do this is to take the plan I just proposed. I built an independent fully enclosed factory in the Red Star Factory, where the scientific research personnel of the army could conduct research and production, and I would bear all the costs. Li Ludao.

Of course, Fang Hecheng had carefully considered this plan, he shook his head slowly, and said, "It's still inappropriate......

He frowned and pondered, and said slowly, "Xiao Li, since the Red Star Factory has plans to build defense equipment, access qualifications are the first problem to be solved. Since you think that it is better to retain the equity of the Red Star Defense Company, how about helping you solve the problem of access to the development of military products in the Red Star Factory? ”

Fang Hecheng's brows stretched, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and said quite excitedly, "Xiao Li, I think so." Simply, we will take out a medium-level factory and replace you with these four sets of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools. In this way, you not only get a certain strength in the development of military products, but also solve the problem of access qualifications. ”

"Is that okay?" Li Lu's eyes lit up.

"Hehe, why not." Fang Hecheng said, "This can be regarded as a contribution to reducing the burden on the military industry of the army." The military has drastically reduced its procurement, and the efficiency of many military factories has been directly affected, and according to the policy of converting military to civilian use, some enterprises can barely survive, but most of them can only survive on financial allocations. If this situation continues, it is not uncommon for bankruptcy to go out of business. ”

Li Lu asked, "Chief, what about this qualification...... What is the specific grade, that is, what kind of military products can the Red Star Factory make? ”

"That's up to you." Fang Hecheng said, "I will propose this plan to my superiors, it is impossible to get the qualification of the level of the Red Star Defense Company, but I think there is no problem in developing land defense equipment." ”

Hearing this, Li Lu was already very satisfied, and he couldn't become a fat man in one bite. Of course, he wanted the same high-level license as Red Star Defense, which could produce all kinds of military equipment. But that's basically impossible.

In addition, Li Lu resolutely does not want to revitalize the company's equity, thinking about the army is the first element, in fact, he has another concern - after becoming the largest shareholder of the Red Star Defense Company and obtaining a controlling stake, it means that without the big tree of the new Guangming Factory, his ability to resist the risk of environmental change will be greatly weakened.

The gun shoots the first bird.

"On the southern side, as long as it is within my jurisdiction, you choose a factory, and I will try to solve it for you." Fang Hecheng said.

Li Lu didn't think too much about it at all, and asked directly, "Can I have two factories?" ”

"Two? Let's talk about those two first. Fang He said, "Four sets of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, cut a knife on your purchase price, that is also seven or eight million US dollars." If appropriate, two are fine. ”

Li Lu opened his mouth decisively and said, "Factory 460 and Factory 325." ”

"Factory 460?"
