Chapter 312: Angry Lao Mei
"Not bad! Not bad! ”
"I don't know how it works, but at least it sounds good!"
In the conference room, while Wang Ye applauded lightly, he praised loudly.
Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Commissioner Zheng waved his hand with a big grin, and said with a confident expression:
"Director, what you said doesn't have confidence in us."
"Our enhanced version of the Dow anti-tank missile, it is definitely not just a good-sounding product, it is even better to use, and the effect is absolutely beyond imagination!"
Speaking of this, Committee Member Zheng smacked his lips, looked like he couldn't pretend to be forced with full marks, and seemed to say with regret:
"Originally, we were going to make a sample and then invite the factory manager to observe our tests."
"But no one thought that India would launch it so fast, and if the factory director had seen our test and seen it for believe, he would definitely not have doubted our missiles."
Hearing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but smile, arched his hand at Commissioner Zheng casually, and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, I take back what I just said, and I apologize to Commissioner Zheng and the members of your team."
"I shouldn't doubt your scientific achievements."
"Then I'll look forward to the effect of this enhanced version of the Dow anti-tank rocket, Commissioner Zheng!"
Accompanied by Wang Ye's voice, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the conference room, and after a few seconds of laughter, Wang Ye asked again:
"But, Commissioner Zheng, we don't have much time!"
"The day I came back, you told me that it won't be long before I know the effect, does that mean that the development of our enhanced Dow anti-tank missile is progressing well?"
"How much time will it take, you give me a more exact number, and when the time comes, if you call again in the department, I will have something to say."
Regarding Wang Ye's question, Committee member Zheng said without hesitation:
"According to our previous progress, one month is enough."
"But now the situation in Pakistan is more urgent, I will arrange for everyone to work overtime and work hard, and the factory director will give an estimate according to the guarantee for half a month, and the fastest ten days!"
"If there is no problem after the test launch, we will seize the time to test and adjust, and then count half a month."
"At the longest, there is a month and a few days at most, and it will definitely be finalized."
"And in the process of testing, we can start to organize the construction of the production line, purchase some equipment, train workers, prepare materials, etc., add up the mess, and it is estimated that from tomorrow, it will be pushed back to a month and a half, and mass production can almost begin."
"As for the production capacity to climb up, it will take at least more than two months."
"Fully meet the three-month time limit given by the ministry!"
Hearing the detailed arrangements made by Committee Member Zheng, Wang Ye nodded and said with great satisfaction:
"Okay, the time is no problem, then I'll trouble Commissioner Zheng and the team members next."
"Let's work hard and strive for mass production as soon as possible."
Commissioner Zheng smiled, nodded and said:
"Factory director, don't worry! Absolutely no problem. ”
"However, there is still a problem that the factory director has to solve for us."
"That's the name of this anti-tank missile, factory director, you have to give us something that sounds domineering and powerful, can't it be called a strengthened version of Dow?"
Hearing what Commissioner Zheng said, Wang Ye scratched his chin.
Because the anti-tank missile project was made by Committee Member Zheng using the authority of his own committee member and leading the team to come up by himself, Wang Ye didn't know in advance, and it was not Wang Ye's own Zhang Luo, so he didn't have any preparation and ideas at all.
Confused, my mind is still thinking fast.
"First of all, it can't coincide with the domestic missile series."
"Needless to say, red arrows, long tassels, flying crossbows, red flags, thunderbolts, long swords, eagle strikes and other good-sounding things seem to be occupied."
"It can't coincide with a foreign name, and it's easy to be misunderstood."
"Forget it! Anyway, if you give it a nice name, in the end Western countries will give it a slanderous nickname, it's better to start it"
Thinking of this, under the gaze of everyone in the conference room, a smile appeared on Wang Ye's face, and he coughed lightly and said:
"Commissioner Zheng, this anti-tank missile of ours is indeed an imitation of Dow, isn't it?"
Faced with Wang Ye's question, Member Zheng said without hesitation:
"It's true!"
Anyway, there is no patent in the field of military industry, and there is no patent protection, and it is not like the field of civilian scientific research, and it is also important to condemn academic misconduct, and cannot plagiarize and plagiarize.
Therefore, Committee member Zheng agreed very neatly.
"Our anti-tank missile is thicker and longer than Dow, and overall larger than Dow, no problem, right?"
Although the whole conference room didn't know what Wang Ye wanted to say, and Commissioner Zheng was also confused, he was not in a hurry, and said with a smile:
"No problem!"
Hearing what Committee Member Zheng said, Wang Ye smiled and glanced around the conference room, and everyone said:
"As far as I know, the name of the Dow missile has a saying."
"Dow's English name is TOW, where T is the initial letter of 'tube launched', O is the initial letter of 'optically tracked', and W is the initial letter of 'wire command link guided'."
"So according to this nomenclature, then all anti-tank missiles similar to Dow in principle can be called Dow missiles, including our one."
"And because this one of us is bigger than the old American Dow."
"So I think we can completely name it 'Big Tow', which is the Big Dow anti-tank missile, or 'BTOM' for short!"

As soon as these words came out, accompanied by Wang Ye's very amazing theory, all the committee members present were directly dumbfounded!
They never expected that Wang Ye would be so direct and rude!
At that moment, in the stunned eyes of everyone, in fact, Wang Ye was quite complacent in his heart, although the trick of this name seemed to be a little not glamorous, not very good, not very decent, and even more or less clowny, but Wang Ye believed that this name did achieve its purpose.
That's the heat!
It has been 13 years since the US military began to equip the Dow missile on a large scale in the past 70 years, and in the past 10 years, it has been used by more than 20 countries, including Britain, France, Italy, Canada, Italy, and Brazil, and has also been widely praised in these countries.
So the international reputation of the Dow missile is beyond doubt.
Now, the Red Star Consortium has also come up with such an anti-tank missile that is basically copied from Dow, the first customer must be Pakistan, but in the future, it will definitely be exported to more other countries, so there will be a question here, can this anti-tank missile be favored by the United Kingdom, France, Canada and other countries, and buy?
Impossible!
So the main sales objects of this anti-tank missile must still be those countries in the desert, those countries in Africa, as well as some countries in Southeast Asia, and even South America, and what are the characteristics of these countries? That is, they are not very rich, and it is basically impossible to buy genuine Dow missiles from the United States, because the United States does not sell them to them.
But don't they need Dow missiles? Of course not, don't they know how powerful the Dow missile is? Of course not.
In this case, Dow appeared!
It is larger, thicker, longer, has a longer range, and is more armor-piercing than the traditional Dow, so it can live up to the name "Big Dow"!
Coupled with the fact that it has a slightly lower price than the original Dow, the amount is increased without increasing the price, and the direct cost performance is full!
Not to mention, Wang Ye is directly preparing to use the original Dow to promote his weapon through the "Lei's" comparison rule, and with the current reputation of the Red Star Consortium in these regions, the sales volume is definitely not a problem!
As for the customer, this is a weapon, not a luxury car, he doesn't care if you copy or not, whether it is a counterfeit, after all, this is not a face-saving thing, is it the same as driving, I drive a Land Rover, you drive a Land Wind, I drive a Porsche, you drive Zotye, I look down on you? Two black Africans held up their respective anti-tank missiles, the joke on the left and the one on the right: "Hahaha, yours is a fake Dow, it's a fake, mine is real!" "Isn't that funny?
Weapons speak with power and effect!
And don't look at only the addition of a "big" word, but in fact, in the international arms market, the impact of this word is actually very amazing, in terms of the generation division of fighters, in the next few years after the new century, whether it is F-22 or F-35, it is called "fourth-generation aircraft", and it is precisely because of this that after the first flight, the J-20 will be given the nickname of "black ribbon" by military fans, and the homonym is "black fourth-generation".
But since the appearance of Russia's fourth-generation aircraft T-50, that is, the Su-57 after the installation, this designation has gradually changed, because Russia claims that their T-50 is a fifth-generation aircraft.
Originally, it was just a matter of different naming rules for two countries, but it gave rise to two very serious problems, first, not everyone understands fighter jets, and for people who don't understand fighter jets, they will feel that American fighter jets are actually a generation behind Russian fighters, after all, the most advanced in the United States is only the fourth generation.
Second, just because of the difference in this generation, the customer will be dissatisfied with the export of the F-35 in the future, because the people in the customer's country do not understand the doorway and feel that the things that the official paid for at such a large price are actually a generation behind Russia, which must be a problem! This must be the money for them to eat secretly, we have to protest!
In this way, the United States has no choice but to give up its own set and rename F-22 and F-35 as fifth-generation aircraft, and J-20 has also changed from a fourth-generation aircraft to a fifth-generation aircraft.
Even in the field of tanks, Russia has similar operations.
Let's just say that their T-14 Armata is nothing more than the use of an unmanned turret, the gun is still a 125 mm caliber smoothbore gun, the power is still a diesel engine, and the horsepower is only 1500 horses, where is it worthy of the name of the fourth-generation tank that spans one generation?
Germany has finally engaged in a 130 caliber smoothbore gun, and the old American Abrams X at least uses a diesel-electric hybrid drive system, and also uses an electrothermochemical gun, not to mention the domestic ones, all kinds of electromagnetic equipment click up and down, then compared with the Russian T-14, how many generations should these tanks count?
All in all.
If a weapon wants to sell well, performance is one thing, and the name is also important!
"Shhh Director, you're too straightforward, aren't you? ”
"Big Dow? When the time comes, if our anti-tank missile really sells well all over the world, the United States will not be angry? ”
In the end, Commissioner Zheng exclaimed in amazement, and Wang Ye spread his hands with a smile:
"That's the purpose!"
Hearing Wang Ye say this, Commissioner Zheng nodded and said teasingly:
"Okay, then we'll settle it."
"Big Dow, I'll see it!"
"When the time comes, we will focus on the vehicle-mounted large-scale anti-tank missile market, and let the project of the 203 Institute focus on the individual anti-tank missile market, grasp it with both hands, be strong with both hands, and sandwich the big old beauty before and after, I see the big old beauty on fire, hahaha!"
Accompanied by the voice of Commissioner Zheng, a burst of laughter rang out in the conference room, and after the laughter fell, Wang Ye glanced at everyone present, coughed lightly and asked:
"Okay, do you have any other ideas or projects?"
This time, no one spoke at all, Wang Ye nodded, looked at an old man with gray hair, and asked seriously:
"Du Lao, you are our ballast stone."
"When will we see a prototype of our main battle tank?"
Faced with this problem, the old man, who had been silent and had never spoken, that is, the chief engineer of the main battle tank project department, muttered for a second and said:
"If the factory director just wants to see the complete tank, he can do it in a week."
"However, if this tank wants to start various tests, it will take at least a month, and the test cycle, we can compress it by producing more prototypes, but in my opinion, it will take at least one to two months, and this is still if there are no major problems."
"Otherwise, it's possible in a year or two."
Hearing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh, nodded and said:
"I understand, I understand, if you want to hurry, you can't get there."
"But this is the case, we have no other way, whether it is anti-tank missiles, but anti-tank rocket artillery, or anti-tank mines, in fact, this is a weapon that focuses on defense, and if you really want to maintain the situation on the frontal battlefield, gain a certain advantage, or even start a counteroffensive, the main battle tank is indispensable."
"Old Du, please work harder!"
Faced with Wang Ye's statement, the old man nodded and said seriously:
"Do your best!"
Subsequently, the meeting ended, and the atmosphere of the entire consortium seemed to have become solemn and depressed with the end of the meeting.
Meanwhile, Tanzania, Port of Dar es Salaam.
The last soldier of the Red Star Complex boarded the ship, and the passenger ship slowly left the harbor and headed straight for the Persian Gulf.
April 21.
Pakistan has been defeated and retreated, losing the military town of Barak Khan, and India has achieved a phased victory!
