Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1197

“I should agree. What I am worried about now is how to dispose of those foreigners. They value this and can’t afford to pay.” Xie Kai looked helpless.

Nigeria will be rich in the future, does not mean it has money now.

Such a country must have a good relationship.

“It doesn’t matter if the exported name is 359. It is definitely not called such a name in China.” Wang Guilin said instead.

A few people were walking back and chatting. Zhao Yuming, who happened to meet 617, came here. Although today I lost the 404 tank race, it seems that this guy is very happy. He walks with a floating face. With a smile on his face, seeing Zheng Yucheng and others didn’t have the feeling of gritted teeth before.

“Why, Lao Zhao, how happy to lose?” Zheng Yucheng couldn’t see this guy.

If you lose, you lose. Why are you happy?

Is it possible that if you lose, you can still get orders from the troops?

Zhao Yuming didn’t care about Zheng Yucheng’s teasing at all, and said happily, “Yes, I’m really happy to lose. If we don’t lose, good things will not be our turn. I have watched you earn foreign exchange in the past few years, and now we are also 617. On it.”

How many people froze, 617 earned foreign exchange?

“There is another order for 59 tanks?” Zheng Yucheng asked in surprise, “That’s not bad. I sold more than 2,000 vehicles, with more than 1 billion foreign exchange.”

“Who sells that worthless stuff? Type 88!” Zhao Yuming said grumbledly, “I have to thank you for this. If your tanks are not performing well, we don’t have a chance yet, don’t we?”

After talking about Zheng Yucheng and the others, he hummed a little song and headed to the office where the gang of big men were.

These people left 404 staring at each other.

“Type 88 export? They are not the best tanks in the country. They need to be equipped with troops? Can this thing be sold?” Zheng Yucheng obviously didn’t believe it.

The 88-type was originally developed to equip domestic armored forces. Now tell them that they are not equipped and exported?

Who are you selling to?

Xie Kai didn’t think it was necessary for Zhao Yuming to make a joke, nor did he need to brag.

“Relatively speaking, the technical performance of the Type 88 main battle tank is not as high as the 359 we exported. At present, when our domestic version is released, the chiefs have seen the specific performance and performance. Naturally, they can’t look at the Type 88…” Xie Kai said.

Domestic military leaders see better equipment. In the absence of war, the national defense strategy focuses on strategic defense again, and the funding is pitifully low.

If there are better ones, how can the military chiefs go backward in equipment?

As for training, it’s easy to say that there are still thousands of domestic 59 tank units, which are enough for training.

“What about our tanks? The price is so high, the troops can’t afford much equipment.” Zheng Yucheng became worried.

Wang Guilin was also worried.

Zhao Yuming simply ignored Zheng Yucheng’s thoughts. Originally, they wanted to export tanks. Although 59 was cheap, its performance was also lagging behind. There were really few countries that looked good.

At the moment, the domestic version of the 359 tank is very popular, and it is overwhelming their Type 88 main battle tank, and the superiors will not look down on it.

I have communicated with the Nigerian Deputy Minister of Defense and others who cannot afford this top tank. Although they prefer to obtain an upgraded version of the 359 tank, after learning more about the Type 88 main battle tank, they also feel that this tank is better than other Chinese tanks. too much.

Although the performance is still not top-notch, at least the price is cheap.

The quotation was only reported at 1.5 million US dollars, and if we talk about it, it can be lowered.

“Chief, Nigeria and Argentina are more interested in our Type 88 main battle tank. Argentina even proposed to introduce a production line…” said excitedly to a group of big men.

It was an unexpected surprise.

Nigeria needs 200 vehicles and equipped with 5 armored battalions; Argentina needs production lines, which is not much less.

Although it is not as cheap as the 404’s 359 tank, a 1.5 million US dollar, which is equivalent to 6 million yuan, is much higher than the profit sold to the army.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Besides, subsequent upgrades are all money.

“Sale of the 88-style will not cause technical leaks?” General Qin asked Zhao Yuming.

Zhao Yuming shook his head, “The chief, although the Type 88 main battle tank is more advanced than the previous Type 79, and even reaches the second-generation tank standard, its technical performance is completely incomparable with the domestic tanks sold by Hongqi Machinery Factory. These are all from the United Kingdom. Upgrade of the introduced technology…”

At this moment, he naturally wanted to say how backward he was.

Export to earn foreign exchange!

In the past few years, people who have been staring at 404 exporting a large number of tanks to earn foreign exchange are drooling. After the delivery of more than two thousand 59 tanks from Iraq, they have always provided 404 OEMs and spare parts.

“Chief, at present, the 88 type is more suitable for export than the 359 tank. The tank displayed today is definitely not for export. Even the tanks they exported before are more advanced than the 88 type…” Hong Aiguo said realistically. .

The chiefs looked at him and didn’t think.

617 is the tank research unit with the strongest technical strength in China.

In the perception of leaders, 404 is a renunciation halfway through and is not professional at all. How can it be possible to have the best technology in the country?

“The 125mm tank gun was improved from the original 122 medium tank project in the 1970s, and even the entire 359 came from this way. The technical problems that were not solved originally were invested heavily in scientific research funds to research basic technology, plus 201 stable Only after the successful research of the image-type fire control system was it integrated…” Long Yaohua has been tracking the scientific research technology of 404.

These 404 guys are very xenophobic and have never taken the initiative to explain them.

Only Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan knew the inside story, and they helped to obtain a lot of basic technical information.

“In that case, their 359 tanks are more advanced than the 88 type? In that case, why did they agree to export?” General Qin asked Long Yaohua and others seriously.

The leaders of the General Staff and the General Staff did not understand the specific situation.

If it weren’t for the amazing performance of the 359 tank today, even they would continue to think that this is a modification of the 59 tank.

“Chief, the first project was a joint research project between Hongqi Machinery Factory and Pakistan. Pakistan paid for the technology, and they provided the technology…” Long Yaohua explained the situation at the time.

The chiefs were silent.

When this project started, it was the climax of the discontinuation of a large number of domestic military research projects.

The military simply does not have any funds to support the development of these projects.

Pakistan has invested 50 million US dollars, but it is just getting a tank assembly line, except for some basic spare parts, it can’t produce anything at all.

Even so, Pakistan is very satisfied.

“Under such circumstances, it is unrealistic to ban the export of 359 tanks. High-quality tanks have been sold. Now this type of tank is similar to 359 except for its appearance… It is no longer appropriate to call 359 again.” Li Mingshan Afraid that the big guys would get angry, they then banned the 359 tanks that have been exporting.

They have all been sold, and even if they are banned, they cannot be kept secret.

Now this new one must be banned from export. It integrates all advanced domestic technologies, and many of them are even under laboratory research conditions.

After Li Mingshan finished speaking, Long Yaohua said, “Type 88 is the technology imported from abroad to improve domestic research, and it is also conducive to the confidentiality of domestic real technology. We ourselves did not expect the new 359 tank technology to reach such a level. Foreign and unexpected…At the same time, although the performance of the 359 tank is advanced, the price is also the reason why many countries who want to buy it are rejected…”

Export 88 type, can fill the gap.

This tank can be exported as a mid-range tank at a price of more than one million U.S. dollars. In this way, it can obtain more production orders for the entire armored vehicle research of the military system, thereby supplementing the small scientific research funding provided by the country.

“Chief, General Longlika Maidor of Nigeria, after being persuaded by the price of 359 tanks, expressed a keen interest in the 88 type main battle tank. Before we quoted 1.5 million US dollars, they did not say much… Expensive, even if it is 1.2 million US dollars, we will have a relatively high profit.” Seeing that the big guys are worried, Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan are both helping the 88-style exit. Zhao Yuming didn’t understand it, so he worked for so many years for nothing.

Quickly assist.

The 88-style export does have great benefits.

It now appears that there is no chance for this thing to install domestic troops.

Can’t install troops, and have to recover R&D expenses and not export. What should I do?

“Since it will not cause technical leaks, and can obtain funds to continue to improve the technology, it is a good thing to have an order.” The big guys do not prevent the 88-type tank that has been developed and lags behind.

With more advanced ones, who wants to be backward equipped?

The 88-style has been researched out, and if you sell it to earn foreign exchange, it’s okay to exchange funds, right?

Although the 359 tank is expensive, it will be equipped with less equipment in one year. At least it will not lag behind in the next ten or twenty years. Gradually build up the family, even if 20 vehicles are equipped in a year, 400 vehicles will not be in 20 years.

Want to fight the quantity?

The 59, 69, and 79 tanks are equipped with a lot of domestic equipment.

“If it is exported, the 88-type designation model will have to be changed. The 359 tanks can no longer use this model name.” Long Yaohua proposed.

The naming of the domestic models is regulated, and unified management is required.

“What model do you give?” The big guys thought it made sense.

What model can I give now?

If you equip troops, they must be in the same naming format as before.

“The chief, the front type of the 88 type tank is the 80 type for export. The later type 85 can be used directly with this model. The tank of the Hongqi Machinery Factory has nothing to do with the 359. It can be directly named as the 88 type… “Anyway, as long as you can export and give up a model, there is no problem, isn’t it?

Three generations of domestic tank projects, I wish the three generations of tanks they are working on, they will all be 617 projects.

“The 359 export is turned to the domestic sales to become the 88 type? The 88 type is exported, and the 85II model of the export model is used. This is not bad, and the naming is unified.” Long Yaohua said.

They have always wanted to get a domestic equipment model for the 404.

With the model naming, we will continue to develop or deploy troops later, there is no problem.
