In fact, in the subsequent inquiry, these generals have begun to inquire about the price of 207 from the side, and these generals are very clear that the strength shown by 207 has made them believe that it is to be equipped, and the scale of equipment they set depends on the price, and the price determines the scale of the arrangement. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

107 artillery has entered the list of conventional weapons, the price is not high, at least in terms of power and price ratio, it is a relatively cheap product, they also think that the price of 207 will not be too expensive, but in terms of current power, let them have no bottom, if it is calculated according to the normal, 2 times the power of rocket artillery shells, the price of 4 times is a normal range, but it is not impossible to rise six times or eight times, after all, in the same weapon system, different power, his price is completely different.

Under such circumstances, even if they are commanders of military regions that have huge resources, it is impossible to tilt a large amount of money on a unique weapon; a military region needs to be equipped with a large number of weapons, and even the commanders of these military regions must weigh and even select, how to use certain weapons to ensure the uniqueness and combat effectiveness of the military region.

When a person mentions this matter, almost everyone's eyes are focused on the person in charge, which makes the person in charge very stressed, this exercise, and the last exercise, one of the biggest differences is that the level of the personnel involved in the exercise is quite high, either the generals of the three general departments, or the commanders of the major military regions, each of them is a high authority, some of them, also control the huge procurement power, especially Yang Yuanzhao and Feng Yuxiang, which makes him not want to hide it, can not hide it.

Anyway, this time, it is also to show the power of the 207, and it is not attracted by the price, and it is the same here, almost showing off the price of the rocket, the price of the 207 rocket is 12% lower than the price of the rocket in the last exercise.

Several commanders of large military regions had not participated in the last exercise, and they did not know the price mentioned in the last exercise, Feng Yuxiang could not remember clearly, and turned back to ask the secretary behind him, who took out a small notebook and then quoted the price of the last time.

The price of the last time has made the 207 very competitive, at that time it was equivalent to the price of a 270 gun, compared to the power and range of rocket artillery, it is barely acceptable, just the price, there is no problem, and even has some advantages.

It is already quite cheap, and it is 12% cheaper on the original basis, which means that this is almost just the price of a 230 mm high-explosive bomb, so the price, everyone is moved, and even some people don't believe it, they can't understand why the combat parts of rocket artillery, the power has increased significantly, but the price has dropped very significantly.

107 is the hottest thing recently, rockets, because of the high technical content, the power of rocket artillery is on rockets, generally higher than shells of the same caliber, 107 is about twice as expensive as 108 mm howitzers, although it is said that 207 is larger, the price of larger caliber shells will also increase, just equivalent to the price of 230 mm shells, it is very competitive, even if the price was very low before, I did not expect the price to be so low.

Some people are thoughtful, still thinking about what caused this effect, but Yang Yuanzhao somewhat understood, it must be the effect of thermite, the previous combat part was 55 kg, now it is 44 kg, for high-explosive bombs, it represents a reduction in the number of explosives, which itself is to reduce the cost of the aspect, the materials used in thermite, the price is not high, aluminum and ferric oxide, are cheap things, at least compared to high explosives, much cheaper, so under the premise, the price must be low.

This is the benefit of technological improvement, about this, the person in charge did not say much, just revealed, the use of new technology, so such a change, at the latest within 1 month, 107 will also be improved, and the corresponding price will be reduced.

At this point, the generals have confirmed that it should be the rocket artillery in the charge, a breakthrough, with a cheap and powerful gunpowder, instead of the original gunpowder, otherwise the price will not be reduced so much, the price of 230 artillery high-explosive shells, the power is close, but close to the 305 artillery high-explosive shells, this alone, rocket artillery is enough to get orders, they began to rush to place orders, for fear that it will be too late.

The production of any product has its own inherent laws, just like 107, it has entered the list of conventional weapons, and the Rocket Research Institute has spent tremendous energy to establish and produce production lines in at least 120 munitions projects, but the output is still somewhat in short supply, even if the daily output reaches 4,000 sets, it will take at least 2 months to fully meet the needs of 180,000 to 240,000, which is not to mention the consumption of so many troops in the country.

For artillery, the production of artillery may not be bad in two or three years, or even three or five years, but artillery shells are consumables, and the cost and production difficulty of rocket artillery are mainly on rockets, 207 is definitely more difficult to produce than 107, so if you don't place an order early, wait until you continue to wait?

Some smart ones have surrounded the person in charge, and the rest have just woken up from a dream, surrounded by more than a dozen generals, such a sense of happiness, the person in charge is still enjoying it for the first time, fortunately, he still maintains a trace of clarity, and did not directly agree to any orders, this weapon, or rely on the Central Military Commission to distribute it uniformly.

To tell the truth, the performance of rocket artillery, even Feng Yuxiang was a little hesitant, whether to put 207 into the list of conventional weapons, not to mention anything else, but this cheap price and the power shown are enough to make rocket artillery favored, even if he has such and such shortcomings, but with its price, it is enough to make most of the troops tempted, even if it is a one-time consumable, in the early stage of the war and in a specific state, it is enough for them to obtain corresponding advantages.

In addition to the cost of rocket engines and fuel explosives, the cost of rockets is very small, which is also the key to rocket artillery, and he is prosperous in later generations, but also because of the power and cost, rocket artillery, which can be called AK47 in the cannon, has a good effect, is cheap, and even the technical threshold is not too difficult, it is relatively simple.

However, in the end, after careful consideration, Feng Yuxiang still did not put rocket artillery into the list of conventional weapons, but will equip a regiment or a brigade of rocket artillery units in a group army unit for application in a specific environment and artillery attacks, and the real centralized large-scale application is still in the units of the Military Commission, and the Military Commission is ready to set up three rocket artillery corps, with rocket artillery as the main weapon, auxiliary part of the armored vehicles and heavy tank forces, to form a rapid reaction force, After a little simulation, because of the saturation attack level of rocket artillery, the attack power shown by this army in an instant is the highest in the entire Chinese army.

Yang Yuanzhao heard Feng Yuxiang's plan, and was stunned for a moment, isn't this the predecessor of the Second Artillery Corps in later generations, rocket artillery is just the beginning, in the future, wirelessly guided missiles are the real weapons of mass destruction, and will even be applied to all aspects of the army, navy and air force.

Yang Yuanzhao was quite satisfied with the rocket artillery team, and asked them to increase the research on the basis of rocket artillery, and also proposed a different thing, guidance, rocket artillery is very powerful, this power is covering, even if the cost of rocket artillery is low, the hit rate is a hard injury, and there will be a waste of stages.

Maybe now, large groups, large-scale operations, rocket artillery still have a place, but in the future, large-scale conflicts are no longer the mainstream of the world, when special forces, precision strikes, and asymmetric strikes become the mainstream, what China needs in the future is high-precision things, China has excellent development in the field of radio, rockets, and has all the conditions for the development of missiles.

With the help of radio signals, command the rocket to adjust, and finally hit the target, it seems to be difficult, in the computer calculation, it does not seem to be difficult, the key is the wisdom of the chip and radio technology, must achieve the role of guidance and command, in the middle, need to join in this area, and point out the direction for them.

Of course, this is actually a series with long-range missiles, but Yang Yuanzhao separated long-range missiles from medium and short-range ones, and the future rocket artillery research institute, while rocket artillery, will study more precision-guided weapons within 300 kilometers, and even include the Air Force's close-range combat missiles, and long-range missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers will be merged with the launch vehicle research institute, and they will jointly study strategically important ballistic, long-range, and even intercontinental missiles, but there is no urgency for research at present. Even the difficulty of making them will be very large, and they are only forward-looking research, more of a technical accumulation.

Yang Yuanzhao knows very well that nuclear weapons and carrier rockets are two huge projects, and the United States and the Soviet Union fought with each other during the Cold War, invested huge amounts of money, and finally achieved results.

Fortunately, there is still time, and when China is more favorable than other countries in the world, it is that China has a clear judgment of future generations, how to go in the future, and mainly develop those areas, as long as it follows these, gradually accumulates, even if it takes a little detour, it will not waste too long, at least when others are still focusing on battleships and basic equipment, China has already focused on strategic weapons.
