Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Theater of Operations.

"Oh, Lao Liang? What kind of wind are you listening to, the big night is coming? ”

"Sit down, sit, have you eaten?"

The orderly knocked on the commander-in-chief's office, and Director Liang walked in with a spring breeze on his face.

And Commander Song was obviously about to pack up his things and go to dinner, and when he saw Director Liang's sudden visit, he asked with a smile.

"Don't sit down, I'm here to eat, I ate two bites this morning, I've been hungry for a day, let's go!"

"If you have something to do, sit down and talk while eating!"

Anyway, when he got to the ground, Director Liang was not in a hurry, and said with a smile, of course, he was telling the truth, from Laiyang to Quancheng is not close, go in the morning and arrive in the afternoon, and can only eat some pancake rolls and green onions in the car at noon.

Regarding Director Liang's suggestion, Commander Song did not have any opinions, and said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, let's eat on the table, do you have something? Hey! I've got something to do too! ”

"I'm afraid that if I say it now, you won't be able to eat later!"

"Let's go!"

Then the two of them left the office, all the way to the officer's small canteen not far away, at the moment there are a lot of people who come and go to eat, and there are many orderlies who come to serve food, after all, there is no commuting in the army, and many leaders' families also live in the base, so naturally the orderlies take food home to eat.

After the two sat down, Commander Song said with a smile:

"Come on, you say it first, or I'll say it first!"

Director Liang took a bowl of egg soup with clear soup and little water, drank it in one gulp, and then wiped his mouth and said quite proudly:

"I'll say it first!"

"Wang Ye is going to introduce heavy-duty diesel engine production, Lao Song, you know."

"But at present, their place is really a bit small, the workshop is not big enough and not spacious enough, and the production line can't be placed, so it needs to be expanded, plus Wang Ye has money this time, and he is ready to purchase a bunch of equipment, which leads to a huge civil infrastructure project."

"In line with the idea of the military industry of the army, Wang Ye decided to hand over all the construction projects to your engineering troops!"

"How? Isn't that good news? ”

After Director Liang finished speaking, the whole person looked proud and arrogant, as if he had played a pivotal role in the process of facilitating this transaction, and he was quite proud.

As soon as these words came out, Commander Song was directly frozen in an instant!

Seeing this scene, Director Liang's heart became more and more proud, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, and he continued with a smile holding an egg soup bowl:

"Wang Ye said it, the price will be given normally, and it is estimated that the old Song Ling will not open his mouth widely!"

"I read Wang Ye's plan, tsk! The scale is the sky, and the factory area of the entire machinery factory will be expanded at least ten times, which is a big business! Hahaha! ”

"Now your engineering troops are on the table! It's a great thing! ”

Accompanied by Director Liang's voice, Commander Song, who was suddenly frozen, came to life, stood up directly, and shouted to the cooks in the small canteen:

"Hurry up, fry five or six more dishes, kill a chicken, and call Lao Lu and them all to me!"

"Let Lao Zhang take a bucket of the previous soil for nothing, go quickly!"

"Hahaha! We also sent it today! ”

Seeing Commander Song's so excited appearance, at that moment Director Liang's heart just now was inexplicably gone, he looked down at the food on the table, sporadic fat slices fried cabbage, chili fried shredded potatoes, tofu boiled kelp, pumpkin fried winter melon slices, suddenly there was an indescribable sourness in his heart, and the dignified commander-in-chief ate nothing more than that, not to mention the soldiers below.

The country has no money, military spending is just a little, scientific research institutes, military factories, third-line factories, the rest is the army, no money is no money, equipment to be maintained, daily training, in the end can only be picked out from the mouth one cent, everyone is eager to break two petals of flowers for a dollar, the general base of the dignified theater, behind the officer's canteen of the headquarters, a vacant lot is still planted with vegetables and a few pigs and a group of chickens and ducks, and they are reluctant to kill Kaikai meat in less than the first few years, and everyone is trying to generate income. But how can it be so easy to make money?

Finally, with the order of the commander-in-chief, the cooks were busy again, shouting people, catching chickens, and picking vegetables.

Then Commander Song sat down with a smile on his face and said happily:

"Wang Ye, this kid, okay! I haven't forgotten our troops! ”

"Now everyone has a place to eat, the material cost is as much as the regulations, and the salary is almost paid, the key is to take care of the big guys to eat a round belly, right?"

"Now they are big households, let's go eat big ones this time!"

Nowadays, the food expenditure per person per day for a type of stove is only four corners and five, the second type of stove is five corners and two, and the third type of stove is six corners and two, coupled with the lack of oil and water, many soldiers can eat more than a dozen big steamed buns for breakfast, and eating a half-full is basically the norm for many soldiers with a large amount of food!

"That's necessary, people have just earned more than 30 million US dollars, and they have folded down hundreds of millions of yuan, and they can still miss the stuttering of the soldiers?"

"But Old Song, you're not authentic! I don't speak, it's cabbage and potatoes. ”

"I said, this is going to kill the chicken? Former and backward Gong, why is he the same as Wang Ye's kid? ”

In response to Director Liang's ridicule, Commander Song, who sat down, had no intention of eating, lit a cigarette, took a long puff, and then said with a smile:

"There are only a few chickens in the back, can you kill them casually?"

"This meal is good, and there is egg soup to drink, and I didn't give you the 'international soup' to give you enough face!"

"Hahaha!"

The international soup in Commander Song's mouth, to put it bluntly, is a cauldron after frying vegetables, pour it into the water and soak it down, and scoop it out after boiling it is a soup, which is jokingly called international soup by the soldiers, which is actually the meaning of shabu-shabu water.

"But Wang Ye's project this time, the time is tight and the task is heavy!"

"They have many foreign exchange earning tasks, heavy production tasks, and a very strong need to expand production capacity, which is indeed a big project because of the high requirements for time!"

"I think the 209 Engineering Regiment can go, although there are more people, eat a few more bites of them, and the work can be done quickly."

Commander Song thought for a few seconds, and finally made this decision, Director Liang naturally had no opinion, and asked at the same time:

"By the way, Old Song, don't you have something to tell me too?"

"Hurry up, don't sell it!"

Hearing Director Liang say this, this time Commander Lun Song became proud, smacked his lips and said:

"Our engineering regiment goes to eat, and we don't eat them in vain, and even go to a brigade to eat, he Wang Ye knows the news, and he has to be entertained!"

"Just last night, the ministry sent something over."

"At present, it can be regarded as the only and unique existence of Scorpion Lababa in our country!"

"In the face of Wang Ye, this kid, I really don't have anything to say!"

With Song commanding the Yunshan fog cover, Director Liang's expression changed drastically, from frowning and thinking at the beginning, to directly turning into a frenzy on his face in the end, as if he had guessed something!

"Oh my God? Really fake old Song? Is that the thing I guessed? ”

"Is it really the one I guessed?"

In the end, Director Liang stood up directly, stared at Commander Song on the table, looked at Commander Song with an incredible face, and confirmed it twice over and over again, Commander Song was also full of emotion, nodded and said:

"Probably right? The country's first state-owned unit military products export license. ”

"Now Wang Ye doesn't have to sell dog meat with a sheep's head, he can roll up his sleeves and work hard!"

As soon as Commander Song's voice fell, Director Liang couldn't help but gasp!

In fact, it's no wonder that Director Liang was surprised, because to a certain extent, this matter is really the first time that the earth has been shattered, after all, in the early to mid-70s, the weapons exported by China to foreign countries were all in the name of supporting fraternal countries, and they were given free of charge without money!

The arms trade has also been started in recent years, but it has been led by the Ministry of National Defense and organized by the Ministry of the Fifth Machine.

But now.

Hongxing Machinery Factory, a former third-tier factory, has now been converted from military to civilian and turned into a state-owned machinery factory, and has actually obtained the first unit arms product export license!

How is this possible without shocking?

"Hahaha!"

"I think, we're going to be a big deal this time!"

In the end, Director Liang couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, the other theater leaders also received the notice and rushed over with smiles on their faces, obviously this was to celebrate.

The next day.

Wang Ye slept lazily, and the newly established Laiyang Red Star Machinery and Steel Consortium yesterday did not have the slightest impact because their factory director did not get up.

After yesterday's meeting consultation and coordination, the steel plant has been perfectly connected with the machinery factory, and began to fulfill the obligation to provide parts processing for the machinery factory.

At half past five o'clock, the workers who finished the third shift at night were yawning out of the workshop, some were ready to go home directly, some were ready to go to the big canteen to eat first, and just when they left, the workers who had been on the first shift in the morning had lined up to stand at the door of the workshop, and after a strict mouth-to-nose breath test to ensure that there was no drunkenness, they could enter the workshop one after another and start to work.

All this was arranged yesterday, and it was all the handiwork of the old factory director and the leaders of the machinery factory.

In fact, to a certain extent, the work initiative of the people in the machinery factory is even much higher than Wang Ye, after all, in the eyes of thousands of people in the factory, Wang Ye's ability is too great, even if he leaves the Red Star Machinery Factory, it is a vast world and a place to go, but the Red Star Factory Machinery Factory is not, if there is no Wang Ye, the capable factory director, it is estimated that he will soon return to the poverty he once had.

And at that time, they never wanted to go back to life, don't look at those old men basking in the sun, and said that a few years ago, when you eat a bite of pig's head meat during the New Year, it can be fragrant for several months, or even half a year, the meat at that time is really fragrant, unlike now, the pig's head meat is eaten in the mouth, and it will not be fragrant the next day, it must be that the pig is not raised well, the problem of pork!

But if you let them go back to the days when they drank most of the bottle of wine for more than half a year, and they could drink more than half a year of refilled water, they could strangle you!

However, from today onwards, they will not have time to boast about each other and show off their current lives, because as long as they are under the age of seventy-five, as long as their heads are not dizzy and their hands are not too shaky, they will all be rehired and will work three shifts a day.

"Ah, comfortable!"

At ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Ye got up leisurely.

Now because of the three shifts, plus the working hours of different workshops and different departments, the canteen is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, serving a variety of meals.

After breakfast and lunch, Wang Ye returned to his office leisurely, standing in front of the window and watching the workers who came and went in a hurry, feeling inexplicably full of harvest in his heart.

After slowly drinking a pot of tea, Wang Ye began to work.

When Wang Ye first came to Hongxing Machinery Factory, Wang Ye wanted a heavy-duty diesel engine production line at that time, on the one hand, he really wanted to engage in agricultural machinery such as tractors, and even various construction machinery factories, but on the more important side, in fact, Wang Ye wanted to engage in tanks.

Nowadays, the gap between China's tanks and the world's advanced level has been widened, but because there are not many actual battles, relying on an astonishing number, it seems to be a good appearance, but in two years, it will be exposed in the Gulf War.

Of course, the gap in the combat level of the users and the gap in the supporting level of the war are all problems, but the gap in the weapons themselves is also a problem that must not be ignored, and it is not a reason to make excuses.

In that war, which lasted only a little more than a month, thousands of Chinese tanks were destroyed, and in the face of more powerful opponents, quite serious problems in stability, defense, and attack were exposed.

At the same time, it is precisely because of this war that the reputation of Huaxia's arms has completely stinked, resulting in the next 30 years equivalent to repaying debts.

You can't even put up your own weapons, you are hung and beaten by Western weapons, and those weapons that you don't own are not equipped with, isn't it even worse, don't buy them! Don't buy it!

It sounds cruel, but it's true!

Even that war, but also to the Chinese solid lesson, although the follow-up is still focused on the development of the economy, but not as barbaric as now, it is necessary to cut and abandon the military industry system of those burdens, with a little more money at hand, began to pay attention to the research and development of military technology again, but also for the take-off of the level of China's military industry 30 years later, laid a solid foundation.

At the same time, at that time, Huaxia determined the development strategy of "replacing equipment with scientific research".

To put it simply, the state still needs to focus on economic development and improve the overall industrial level, and the military industry still needs to be studied, but only studied, and the vast majority of them do not carry out large-scale production and equipment, which is used to save money and only maintain a low level of equipment and training.

It wasn't until the international situation changed and after feeling the breath of war that relying on the country's strong industrial strength, it began to frantically increase the cost and bomb the army.

Back to the present.

After a few months, Wang Ye realized that he had made the mistake of rushing for quick success.

For today's machinery factories, even if they get the production line and upgrade a series of equipment, if they want to directly engage in tanks, it is an amazingly difficult project, and the cycle will be very long, and the gains outweigh the losses!

Under such circumstances, Wang Ye quickly adjusted his strategy and identified the first heavy equipment as a multi-purpose wheeled infantry armored vehicle, which was often referred to as the "big eight wheels" in later generations.

Compared to the tank, its disadvantages are obvious, it is not strong enough firepower against heavy armored targets, and the armor is not thick enough.

But it actually has more advantages, such as strong mobility, strong enough firepower against lightly armored targets, can carry infantry to quickly maneuver, and can be equipped with different weapon systems to achieve different combat missions.

For example, heavy machine guns, anti-tank/anti-aircraft missiles, anti-tank guns, and even laser weapons, etc., of course, these are all future combinations, and now for Wang Ye, there are not so many options for weapons.

In normal history, after the restructuring of the Chinese army, the main vehicle equipped with the heavy synthetic brigade is this thing, the heavy tank is not at all, the light tank and this thing are the mainstream, after all, the fast running is fierce, and it is too important on the battlefield!

"The first big eight-wheeled one, for the time being, is only one weapon, if it is used as a rapid mobile strike fire support vehicle."

"Then let's get a twin 40mm dual-purpose cannon!"

"With some small-caliber rockets, I think it's enough."

"For most small and medium-sized countries, this thing is much easier to use than tanks."

"After all, it's cheap, it's solid, it's durable, it's fast, and it's fierce, unless they really provoke the United States or the Soviet Union directly, and they have to face the attack of serious armored forces, if that's the case, they can dig a pit and lie in it and wait for death, it's hopeless."

"However, this thing is not good to sell dog meat with a sheep's head, what kind of name should it be?"

"What a headache!"

Then Wang Ye determined the design direction and decided to get this weapon out first, as for the engine, he needed to wait a while, and he needed to see what the specific situation of the two production lines was, and it was good to design and dig out the plan according to local conditions.

With Wang Ye's busyness, the time soon came to four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Boom!"

Hearing the continuous roar of the engine in the distance, as soon as Wang Ye stood up, the staff rushed in with excitement on his face, and then looked at Wang Ye panting and said excitedly:

"Director! Director! The people of the troops are coming, they are engineering troops! ”

"We're going to build a house!"

In an instant, a touch of joy unconsciously appeared on Wang Ye's face, and he said as he walked:

"Let's go! Let's check it out! ”

Then the two of them hurriedly left the office building, and when they walked to the gate of the factory, a continuous stream of large trucks and a small number of engineering equipment vehicles had arrived at the gate of the machinery factory!
