Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1496

Xie Kai worried that Long Yaohua said that his superiors requested an investigation just to investigate this.

The sale of cluster bombs is a matter of minor importance.

“Chief, we did not fully research the cluster bomb at the beginning. The scale of this thing is too large and the cost we can’t afford… A ground red flag missile is hundreds of thousands, and a battalion fires a volley, which is tens of millions… It just happens that Saudi Arabia dislikes it. The effect of cloud explosive bomb combat is too single…”

Taking the opportunity, Xie Kai explained how he sold cluster bombs.

It is difficult to deal with this matter if it is really investigated.

The generals didn’t care how Xie Kai sold these weapons to Saudi Arabia.

They just want to know whether the performance of these weapons is at a real level, and whether the domestic technology is stronger than it has shown.

A general asked Xie Kai suspiciously, “What do you mean, the 359 tank cannot withstand the attack of the Sky Arrow anti-tank missile, and the avant-garde air defense missile cannot pose too much threat to the fighter?”

Xie Kai looked at the unfamiliar general and shook his head.

“Chief, it’s not that the weapon’s performance is insufficient. The key is how to use it. Like this time, if it weren’t for the Iraqi fighter planes to fly too low, how could they be shot down so many? If the Iraqis weren’t too careless and didn’t do a good job of intelligence, they would be surprised by the Kuwaiti. It is impossible for the ground strike to be such a result.”

Xie Kai didn’t know much about the specific situation of the Iraq-Iraq War. Even if someone gave an introduction, he still didn’t know the details.

Only after Samak arrived, asked him about the specific combat situation.

Take the opportunity to vaccinate the generals again.

No matter how advanced weapons are used improperly, they are of no use.

In future wars, command thinking is more important.

Just like in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the coalition forces led by the United States were armed to the teeth, aircraft, tanks, and cannons. As a result, they were beaten by volunteers carrying millet and rifles on their backs and had to sit at the negotiating table to sign the armistice agreement.

During the Iran-Iraq War, both Iraq and Persia had first-class weapons and equipment, many of which were much more advanced than the People’s Liberation Army, but it turned out to be a battle of attrition during the First World War…

Even now, the Iraqi army faces the Soviet Red Army during World War II and has no chance of winning.

The Kuwaiti command system is at the same level as Iraq, but now it is producing such a result, Xie Kai is naturally puzzled.

Although they did not know the specific situation, Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng knew clearly that the weapons and equipment sold by 404 almost showed all the capabilities they possessed.

“It is true, no matter how good and advanced weapons and equipment are, it is useless if they are used improperly.” Situ Lei sighed.

Advanced command thinking, coupled with advanced weapons and equipment, can enable the military to have stronger combat capabilities.

Not to mention Xie Kai, even Long Yaohua and others had never expected that in the Kuwait War, all Chinese weapons were fighting.

During the war, Iraq even took out the 122mm self-propelled howitzer developed by 404, and the two sides directly used the ground red flag missile as a long-range rocket.

Xie Kai has no ideas except for feeling that the big dogs are rich.

Although a ground red flag only costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, a salvo will cost tens of millions of dollars for thirty-six, which is more than 100 million dollars when replaced with renminbi.

With so many missiles fired at once, the domestic forces simply cannot afford the expenditure of funds. Before, there was no salvo to test the effect of intensive strikes.

Too expensive.

Even if the Blue Army wants to conduct a large-scale combat experiment, it is impossible to fight so many at once, and each missile will attack a different specific target in order to test the Blue Army’s multi-target precision strike capability.

The Kuwaiti fired three consecutive volleys against the targets in Iraq, which not only effectively attacked the Iraqi armored forces and Basra, but also produced a great deterrent capability.

If this country is bigger, it may be another war for several years.

The heads of the General Staff did not make it clear whether to purchase 404 weapons and equipment.

At present, domestic reforms are still continuing. The one-million-dollar disarmament has just been completed, and the direction of many troops has just been figured out.

If reforms are carried out again, it will be very troublesome.

I don’t know if the big guys got what they wanted, and they left one after another soon, and continued to go back to meetings to analyze the fighting between the two countries’ armies in the Iraq-Korean War, in order to sum up experience and lessons and improve the combat capability of the domestic army.

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan did not leave.

Xie Kai asked Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan about the military’s attitude. Although he managed to deal with it, he didn’t know exactly what the big brothers were planning to do.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Chief, is the army preparing to install these equipment? Or is it to reform the army according to the blue army model?”

When Li Mingshan heard the Blues, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

Long Yaohua also looked at Xie Kai bitterly.

This kid really doesn’t open which pot or not.

“For a unit like the Blue Army, do you think the military can afford it? The military expenditure of the entire army is less than 20 billion a year. A blue army in a brigade consumes hundreds of millions a year, not counting the cost of weapons and equipment. Many weapons The equipment is still installed for your experiment… If you follow this model, how many brigades do you think can be raised across the country?”

Xie Kai looked at the two big men and knew that it was all caused by poverty.

The two big brothers love money!

The generals of the military do not want to be equipped with the best equipment, and they also feel sorry for the money.

A cannon can’t cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Cannonballs are cheaper, a few hundred dollars per round.

Like the Blue Army, it uses self-propelled artillery and tanks that can quickly move, or it is supported by tactical missiles.

They are not equipped with any drag howitzers or the like. The drag howitzers in the logistics warehouse of the Blue Army are still reserved for the 404 cannons during the Chinese New Year.

Nowadays, 404s don’t even wait to see this stuff. Days are better. Everyone likes to watch the fireworks produced by the missile shooting machine.

The cost of missiles is higher, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands or even millions.

A single air defense missile can be equipped with hundreds of shells.

The cost of the ground red flag has reached 700,000, and several cannons can be equipped.

Li Mingshan looked at several people and sighed again.

“In the war between Iraq and Kuwait, most of the weapons and equipment used by both sides were provided by 404. Although there were problems with the style of play, the performance of the weapons was very dazzling, which was too expensive. According to the information we received, at the beginning In less than three minutes, the Kuwaiti tank troops directly attacking Iraq fired at least 80 Sky Arrow anti-tank missiles. Later, in groups of three, they attacked a 359 tank and fired nearly 40…”

“Their commander is such a cruel man!”

Xie Kai took a deep breath.

In the first test, the Tianjian anti-tank missile can penetrate the top armor of the 359 tank, but it cannot penetrate the 359 tank equipped with reactive armor.

I don’t know if the Iraqis were using those dozens of 359s equipped with reactive armor and provided to Iraq for actual combat tests.

If those tanks are destroyed, the top armor of the 359 tank must be strengthened.

At the same time, it is necessary to weaken the capabilities of the exported Tianjian anti-tank missiles.

Long Yaohua looked at Xie Kai reproachfully.

“In the beginning, you shouldn’t have sold so much advanced equipment to the outside world. This Iraq-Korean war will let the world know the true performance of our weapons and equipment. Although it is a good thing for export, there is no domestic equipment… Senior leaders, many Dissatisfied with this matter.”

Long Yaohua said that his superiors were dissatisfied, and he himself expressed great dissatisfaction.

Good things are sold abroad if they are not used at home.

Upon hearing this, Wang Guilin became unhappy.

“Chief, it’s not that we want to sell advanced equipment. Others can be sold. People don’t look at it. We need development funds. How can we develop without selling these equipment? We were also entangled at the beginning, but now, the avant-garde has developed to avant-garde-3 , Even Qianwei-2 is rarely sold. The modified Dihongqi and Dihongqi-3 are absolutely not exported, at most they sell the Hongqi-2. Other equipment is the same. The models developed earlier are sold and more advanced Even if the domestic troops are not in use, they will not be sold out in the short term.”

“Okay, okay, I didn’t say that you were selling randomly.”

Li Mingshan spoke quickly.

Go on, the 404 people have to complain again.

“Samako is coming soon, you have to be prepared for it.” Long Yaohua changed the subject.

“The Kuwaiti side came for weapons and may request urgent delivery. I heard that there is a lot of money this time. You are short of money…”

Xie Kai looked at Long Yaohua with helplessness.

“Chief, don’t think about it. No matter how much they plan to spend or increase the price, they can’t deliver it… Many of the equipment delivered before were given to them by the Blue Army experiment… To make up for the Blues, I dare not even see Tang Xin…”

Xie Kai also knows that as long as a cooperation agreement can be reached, it is definitely a good opportunity for them to make money.

The key is that they can’t provide it.

At the beginning, it was promised to fill up the equipment for the blue army, but now, the blue army has not finished filling it up.

Only 8 Feidun-359 were added.

It’s not that the 404 was not produced, and dozens of vehicles were produced at a time to make up for the Blues.

In order to maintain production capacity, the production of Feidun-359 is much slower, and two or three vehicles are assembled every month.

“Your weapons have appeared in the Iraq-Korean War, and they will definitely sell well. However, I think you should support the next brother units…”

“Chief, forget it, we are still short of money…”

Zheng Yucheng heard that he should support his brothers, and he understood that Long Yaohua asked them to share part of the order.

How can that work!

If the landlord’s family has no surplus food, how can they support others?

Li Mingshan snorted coldly.

“Don’t forget that you invested your money in international oil futures…”

Zheng Yucheng instantly beats the eggplant like frost.

Xie Kai feels that it doesn’t matter. Many of the 404 projects now have military funding, and other units naturally have less funding.

Long Yaohua took the initiative to speak, and it was a bit unreasonable not to agree.

“Heads, please rest assured, as long as there are many orders, you will naturally not refuse to give, but first of all, we must ensure the production of 404… Moreover, it must be an internal member unit of the Technical Federation…”

“That’s natural.” Long Yaohua nodded.

“In the future, will you sell missiles or tanks and fighters?” Li Mingshan looked at 404 people with a playful look.
