Of course, Vice Chairman Li knew that he would not be called over by Mr. Liu for no reason today, although Mr. Liu basically didn't say anything beforehand, but when he met Duke, Vice Chairman Li basically understood most of the things and knew that it was not easy to come here today.

As one of the military superbosses, Vice Chairman Li of course also has his own set of teams to serve him, although the acquisition of steel by Dushi Heavy Industries is very low-key, but such a far-reaching action is actually a big move at the top, how can Vice Chairman Li not have a little understanding.

In fact, as a member of the military, he is happy to see it happen, on the one hand, this matter did not touch his interests, on the other hand, as Mr. Liu said, Dushi Heavy Industries' latest development of several special steels in the military sense is more important than in civilian use, as early as Xincheng Special Steel has just been successfully developed, several of their military bosses have reached an agreement, Dushi Heavy Industries' main use of these products first meet the military.

On the one hand, of course, because the production volume of Xincheng Special Steel is not enough to shake the market, on the other hand, the military demand is still in the early prototype production stage, and the demand is not too large.

It's just that this time Dushi Heavy Industry under the leadership of Cai Siqiang's new plan seems to be too ruthless, if the choice of Southwest Iron and Steel Group is placed in ordinary steel, not too many people will notice such a small opponent, millions of tons of ordinary steel scale, in the country's hundreds of millions of tons of steel to avoid iron production in the total plate, is not even a small role, for giants such as Baosteel, it is just an embellishment of some monopoly accusations.

With the current nature of high debt and low profit margin of an ordinary steel plant, whether it is a loan or a payment, as long as it is pressed for three or five months, it may be able to force you to go bankrupt.

Therefore, a steel plant like Southwest Da is a little ant in the eyes of the bigwigs, and they can be extinguished by raising their hands, so as not to cause them to look at each other, just sit back and wait for you to fend for yourself.

However, the production capacity of this plant falls in the hands of Dushi Heavy Industry is very different, as mentioned earlier, Dushi Heavy Industry is now not short of money, not to mention technology, and even the market has found most of the sales route, millions of tons of ordinary steel everyone does not care, but if this capacity is replaced by millions of tons of special steel, it is not the same concept at all.

For China, this special steel market is more than 10 million tons of capacity, the price of the high-end part is less, so that Dushi Heavy Industry is so engaged, which is equivalent to the most profitable high-end part is directly terminated, one by one, now there is no special steel in the technical level can catch up with the products of Dushi Heavy Industry, according to the normal market law to be terminated that is certain, not to mention that now everyone knows the military's favor for Dushi Heavy Industry.

"Lao Liu, what do you think about this?" Vice Chairman Li asked in a deep voice, Old Man Liu said such things, and the pertinence was so strong, of course Vice Chairman Li had to find out what Old Man Liu really meant.

Although Vice Chairman Li is not very clear about the specific cats in the steel industry, but the key gains and losses are Men Qing, knowing that this matter involves several big people at the level of the great elder, although he is not very afraid of people One by one, the military is self-contained, and has always been relatively independent, like Vice Chairman Liu and Vice Chairman Li are already the top people in this system, and they are much more bullish than the general vice national level.

But if there is no special reason, no one wants to offend these bigwigs who hold power in a certain aspect of the country.

Whether it is Mr. Liu or Vice Chairman Li, there will be a day when they will retire, and no one will offend anyone, not to mention that it is the top domestic bigwigs who will be offended.

So if it's not particularly necessary, everyone will actually put away their minions on weekdays, instead of showing them out at any time to offend people.

Old Man Liu and Vice Chairman Li are old and supportive, but the people around them and their descendants always have to live, and they have to leave some connections and incense for the people around them and future generations, so that these people around them can live a better life in the future, right?

So this matter Vice Chairman Li did not figure out the meaning of Mr. Liu, will not rush in, the steel industry whose territory, he is naturally clear, these central and powerful figures, who do not have an intertwined relationship with each other, the so-called mountains do not turn around, it can be said that the mountains and rivers meet, Vice Chairman Li also has a time to ask others.

Compared with Old Man Liu, who has almost nothing, Vice Chairman Li's own family's economic power is completely incomparable, although it is smaller than the background of other elders, but the group controlled by the family is also an output value of more than 100 billion yuan a year. With such a large-scale economic group, if it continues to be done in peace, one family is enough to keep several generations of wealth.

"I mean it's time to start a comprehensive upgrade of the main battle equipment, since the material is now completely comparable to the international advanced level, and can upgrade our main battle equipment to a new level, I mean to upgrade the active main battle equipment, and at the same time redesign the new main battle equipment, to see if we can use these new materials to improve the performance of the latest main battle equipment to a new level."

Old Man Liu looked at Vice Chairman Li and said softly in a flat tone.

When Vice Chairman Li heard Old Man Liu's words, his eyelids were pale, and his heart was even more condensed, Lao Liu released this big killer weapon, which was really the same as those people.

He is a big man in the army, of course, he understands that the overall upgrade of the main battle equipment is a huge project, which must require a large number of new special steel materials, if this combat readiness demand is put forward in accordance with the existing product standards of Dushi Heavy Industries, then other domestic iron and steel enterprises are only in this super large order as a visitor.

Because from now on, only Duche Heavy Industries has the ability to produce and supply this new material.

Of course, such a big move, from the perspective of demand, is by no means what the existing production capacity of Dushi Heavy Industries can provide, which is to use the needs of the military to force those to give way.

Vice Chairman Li did not expect that Mr. Liu would spend so much money and suddenly launch a comprehensive upgrade plan for the main battle equipment at this sensitive moment, and the discerning person immediately knew that Mr. Liu did not hesitate to use the needs of the military to support the development of Dushi Heavy Industry's determination and action.

Only by using this very powerful excuse can it be possible to persuade the No. 1 leader, and at the same time force several other bigwigs to give way at the Standing Committee.

Among the three giants of the military, if Vice Chairman Li does not support it, it is obviously impossible to pass it within the military, and he and Old Man Liu are among the three vice chairmen of the military who are responsible for national defense security and the enhancement of combat effectiveness, and the other is mainly responsible for political affairs.

Today, Mr. Liu called Vice Chairman Li over, and the most important purpose was to communicate with Vice Chairman Li in advance to see if there was any major rejection of this plan.

Of course, proceeding from the overall situation of national interests, there are such good external conditions to improve military strength, and Vice Chairman Li also believes from the bottom of his heart that it is very necessary to start the plan to upgrade and transform the main battle equipment, and it is better to do it sooner rather than later, because after all, it is more practical to have a favorable weapon in hand for national security as soon as possible, otherwise in many cases, the country's foreign policy decisions will always shrink back because of too many scruples.

The inability to win is, of course, the most central component of these scruples. The more thoroughly we study several wars in modern times, such as the Gulf War, the Yugoslav War, and the Libyan War, the more profound our understanding of the mode of warfare under modern high-tech conditions will be, that is, under the conditions of superior equipment, the role that manpower can play is actually getting smaller and smaller.

The birth of a new generation of fighters, main battle tanks, large destroyers, missile frigates, and even aircraft carriers has all invested huge sums of money to build a new generation of main battle equipment in an attempt to narrow the gap with the world's advanced level.

However, due to the limitations of raw materials and processing technology, although the performance of these newly developed main battle equipment has made great progress compared with the previous products, it is still nearly a generation behind the world's advanced level. These things do not mean that you can catch up with the slogan, in this system engineering, there are too many lessons that need to be made up.

It is with this background that the military bigwigs were ecstatic after Dushi Heavy Industries came up with new materials with excellent performance and the latest machine tools and equipment in the early days. Now that these things have been tested by the military, the prototype of the main battle equipment made by using such materials and new machine tool processing technology is basically no longer far behind the current international mainstream main battle equipment in terms of hardware, and can even surpass it in some aspects.

That is to say, the gap in the hardware of the main battle equipment has been greatly improved, and now the gap has mainly changed to the software aspects such as the electronic fire control system.

And it is this shortcoming, now with the genius of Duke, now Mr. Liu also sees the dawn of improvement, in the deployment of the improvement project, Duke's progress is quite satisfactory, find out a lot of problems in the original system, I believe that after solving these problems, this system will have extremely exciting improvements.

Of course, Vice Chairman Li knows these things, and it is precisely because of this that he is in a bit of a dilemma; the military actually has a world-class standard in the design of its main battle equipment, and the problems of materials and processing technology that have always plagued the military have now been well solved, and if we add a first-class fire control system and combine these new technologies to create new main battle equipment, it will certainly surprise the people of the world. It can be said that now is the best time to upgrade the armaments.

(I traveled for three days last weekend, and I used my mobile phone to update in the middle, which caused the pace of updating to be a little disrupted, and I tried to get back on track as much as possible from tomorrow.) ）
