Chapter 374: Toshiba Incident

The basic industrial level of a country can be seen from its automobile manufacturing, and the high-end industrial level can be seen from its aircraft manufacturing. In these manufacturing processes, various processing equipment are indispensable.

Using machines to manufacture machines marks the beginning of large-scale industry, among which the mother machine is headed by machine tools.

Machine tools are generally divided into metal cutting machine tools, forging machine tools and woodworking machine tools. In modern mechanical manufacturing, various methods such as cutting, casting, forging, welding, stamping, and extrusion are required for processing. However, for parts with high precision requirements and fine surface roughness requirements, they are generally required to be finally processed on machine tools by cutting methods. Other methods are to reduce manufacturing costs. Therefore, the level of a country's machine tools reflects the industrial strength of this country.

To put it simply, a machine tool has a clamp that clamps the machine parts to be processed and rotates at the same time. During the rotation process, the tool starts to cut the metal and processes it into a suitable shape.

In this case, only one surface can be processed. What should I do if multiple surfaces are processed? It is necessary to process one surface of the machine first, then clamp it in a different way, and then process the other surface. In this way, there will be errors every time you switch. When accumulated, there will be a lot of errors. In this way, a new machine is needed to process multiple surfaces at the same time, which is a multi-axis machine tool.

In the past, machine tools were operated by people, and the processing accuracy depended entirely on the technical level of the processing personnel. For example, when my country was developing nuclear weapons, a device needed in it needed to be processed by machine tools. As a result, a lot of them were wasted and there was no suitable finished product. Finally, after searching all over the country, we found a master craftsman with the most exquisite craftsmanship. Only then can the processing accuracy be controlled within the required range.

This is not acceptable. When computer technology developed rapidly, CNC machine tools that controlled the processing of machine tools through computers and achieved a very high precision began to be born. Computers do not need to be experienced or not. As long as the program is set, they will be processed according to their own programs.

The use of computers to drive multi-axis machine tools has achieved the simultaneous processing of special workpieces with complex shapes. At the same time, the processing accuracy can reach the required goal.

In the later generations, in the 1990s, CNC machine tools were still a new thing in my country, and in the 1980s, CNC machine tools were a technology that only a few countries could master among developed countries. Among them, the island countries are far ahead in this regard due to their advanced electronic technology.

Especially, large multi-axis CNC machine tools. The technology of the island countries is the most advanced. At the same time, the island countries have a group of businessmen who can do anything for the sake of profit.

On the other side. The Soviet Union, the big brother of the socialist camp, did not have high-precision multi-axis linkage CNC machine tools. Through secret negotiations, it reached an agreement with the islanders and introduced four multi-axis linkage CNC machine tools. This was 1983.

Relying on this deal, the islanders made a lot of money, and the Soviet Union. The benefits are even greater. They can use these two devices to process large equipment with complex shapes that they need most, such as propellers used by ships and submarines!

The propeller is a metal object with a complex shape. Especially if you want to be silent and want to improve efficiency, you need a seven-blade large side-slant propeller. This kind of propeller, relying on the Soviet Union's own processing equipment, cannot meet the precision requirements. With these two devices, the Soviet Union can easily process suitable propellers. Turn your submarine into an ocean black hole and make the American submarine advantage disappear!

Among them. The key figure in this transaction is Xiong Gudu. He was the head of Toshiba in Moscow at the time. He was fully responsible for this transaction and knew every detail.

However, two years later, Xiong Gudu's fate took a turn for the better. He never thought that he would be fired by Toshiba! Thinking about how much he had paid for the company and even risked his life, but now he was fired, Xiong Gudu was furious.

I don't know how many glasses of wine he drank. In short, Xiong Gudu's eyes began to overlap with people, and his footsteps were trembling. He took one step and another. It was only a few hundred meters away from the apartment where he lived, but he seemed to have walked for ten thousand years.

Anyway, the company didn't want him anymore, so he just cheated the company and told Batumi what he knew! Let the whole world know about this!

COCOM, the full name of which is the Paris Coordinating Committee, is also called the Export Control Coordinating Committee. It was established in November 1949 at the suggestion of the United States. Because its headquarters is in Paris, major NATO countries are all members of COCOM.

This organization, which was born in the context of the Cold War, is an unofficial international organization, but it has considerable power, mainly restricting member countries from exporting strategic materials and high technology to socialist countries. Included in the embargo list are more than 10,000 products in three categories, including military weapons and equipment, cutting-edge technology products and rare materials.

Due to the advantages accumulated by the West in high technology, this export restriction on socialist countries has a very powerful practical effect. For example, this multi-axis linkage CNC machine tool can block the Soviets.

Even in later generations, because of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, COCOM was also declared dissolved, and multi-axis linkage CNC machine tools would still not be exported to socialist countries. For example, Eastern countries only got five-axis linkage CNC machine tools at most, and the processing accuracy was also intentionally reduced by the other party. As for the more advanced six-axis linkage CNC machine tools, there is no need to think about it.

"Wow." Finally, before he reached the door of the apartment, Kumagai Doku lay on the guardrail on the side of the road and vomited. The taste of sashimi and the foam of sake came out of his mouth and spit on the ground.

The people around him covered their noses and passed by him quickly. In the clean and tidy Tokyo, such behavior is very annoying.

A bright light appeared in front of Kumagai Doku. He tried to open his eyes and heard a sharp brake sound in his ears. An MPV stopped beside him. Two men came out of the quickly opened car door, pulled Kumagai Doku's arm, dragged him into their own car, and soon disappeared on the dark road.

"Who are you?" Kumagai Doku's tongue couldn't pronounce the words clearly, and his eyes were still dim, but he knew that he was hijacked.

"We are here to help you." One person said: "Tani Hiroaki knew that you were going to inform Batumi, and ambushed assassins in your apartment, intending to kill you when you go back. We are here to save you."

Tani Hiroaki? Kumagai's mind was not confused yet. He knew that Hiroaki Tanimura was the director of the machine tool division of Toshiba Machine Company and the general manager of the machine tool business. If he informed on the matter, he would be the first to be implicated.

Humph, want to kill me? Not that easy! I must go to Batumi to inform on the matter!

"In order to protect your safety, we will record the video for you. You just need to record everything you want to say to Batumi, and then we will help you send it to Batumi. You don't have to show up in person, and you won't be retaliated by Hiroaki Tanimura. When Batumi investigates this matter and arrests all the senior officials of Toshiba for investigation, you will be safe, and you will also be a good friend of the United States." Another person said.

"Who are you?" Kumagai Doku continued to ask, "Why should I believe you?"

"I've already said that we are here to help you." The other party said, "You can choose to cooperate with us or not. We will send you back to your apartment and watch you being killed by the gangsters. We really feel sorry for you. You were abandoned by Toshiba and murdered."

Abandoned, murdered, these words were very harsh. In Kumagai Doku's mind, alcohol could not numb him. He only felt indescribable anger. Yes, since he was abandoned, what was there to be afraid of!

The MPV drove into a villa in the suburbs of Tokyo, where a camera was set up. Kumagai Doku, who was still drunk, faced the camera with his unique smile on his face and began to tell the story of the past.

"This is a mistake, a mistake made by a businessman who sacrificed the interests of the entire NATO group for the sake of profit. The source of this mistake is Toshiba, and the main responsible persons are Lin Longji, the director of the casting department of the machinery company, and Tanimura Hiroaki, the director of the machine tool division..."

"Snap." The TV was turned off. Looking at the picture in the videotape, Tanimura Hiroaki's face was full of anger: "Damn it, this is slander, this is naked slander! How could our Toshiba company do such a thing!"

This morning, just after arriving at the company, Tanimura Hiroaki received such a package. When he opened it, he found a videotape inside. Fortunately, he did not give the videotape to his assistant, but chose to watch it himself. As a result, he saw such a scene. That Kumagai Du told everything in front of the camera.

If this matter was reported to Batumi, the company would be finished! Thinking of this, Tanimura Hiroaki broke out in a cold sweat on his back. Now, where is Kumagai Du? How did this package come from?

"Secretary, come in." Tanimura Hiroaki shouted

The beautiful female secretary came in, waiting for Hiroaki Tanimura's instructions.

"Who sent this package?"

"A man asked me to pass it on to you, saying that if you are interested in it, please go to the Wada Information Center in Kabukicho."

Kabukicho? Could it be gangsters? Hiroaki Tanimura frowned, he knew he had to go there. If it was really a gangster, he would use all means to make the gang disappear completely! (To be continued ~^~)
