Lao Ba's national economic strength is far inferior to the potential enemy on the other side. Therefore, Lao Ba has always been on a thrifty road in military confrontation. Look at the countries opposite, they are rich and powerful, and spend a lot of money to do.
Although the Arjun tank has been in trouble for ten years, they still invested money to continue research and development. They also introduced the production line of the T-72 tank, and they also planned to purchase the T-90 tank.
In contrast, Lao Ba could only grit his teeth and squeeze out funds to develop. If he didn't want to balance performance and funds, he wouldn't have been stalemate in the selection of Khalid tanks for so long.
As a result, after comparing the comparison, I chose the T-80UD tank. As for the consequences of choosing this tank, it has been very obvious now. Pakistan has lost its precious few years and watched the opponent constantly equipped with advanced equipment.
Tanks, Pakistan is very anxious.
Pakistan spent a lot of money to purchase tanks, but was unwilling to purchase shells from tanks and guns. In this case, it would be quite expensive for them. After all, shells are consumables. If they cannot produce them themselves, then
It is necessary to establish a huge inventory. Once the war breaks out, external weapons are embargoed, they can still have sufficient ammunition reserves, and if they can produce them themselves, it will obviously have greater benefits.
Lao Ba was thinking this way.
The most important purpose of their coming here is to achieve independent production of ammunition, not only to provide their 85 tanks and Khalid tanks, but also to provide them with T-80UD tanks purchased from Ermao, so that they can achieve perfectly
After being self-sufficient in ammunition, you will be more confident in the future. Moreover, the shells produced by yourself will definitely be cheaper.
You know, tanks are expensive enough, but shells are not cheap either. Take the most mainstream tail-stabilized shell-piercing shells of tank guns for example. One is tens of thousands! If you produce it yourself, even if you reduce the cost by half, you will still have it.
In practical significance.
However, it is not easy to produce yourself.
The shells of tank guns have always been strictly kept by all countries. They are not afraid of being exported. As long as the other party does not know the production process, it cannot be copied. If all production technology is exported, isn’t this the rhythm of teaching the apprentice to starve the master to death?
No country can hand over the production technology of armor-piercing bombs to others. This is the core secret of a country's tank industry.
So, when he heard Baker make this request, the entire conference room fell into silence again.
The relationship between the Eastern Power and Laos has always been quite good. Both sides have extensive cooperation in all aspects. For example, the Khalid tank is a witness to the cooperation between the two countries. However, if we want to say that the Eastern Power is
The most confidential production technology of armor-piercing bombs should be handed over to Lao Ba? This seems unlikely?
Qin Zhenhua did not make any embarrassment: "Your Excellency Baker, it is useless for you to ask us for this matter. You have to make a request to our senior management, and we have no right to make a decision at all."
If you want to sell tanks and jointly develop tanks, the factory can decide the final decision. However, if you want to teach the production technology of armor-piercing bombs to Lao Ba, this is not the factory has the final decision, and this is not even the case.
The nominal Northern Industrial Company has the final say that the levels of these units are not enough.
So, Qin Zhenhua's answer was very straightforward, and whether he agreed or not, but it had nothing to do with me. I don't have the power, so Qin Zhenhua was also very relaxed.
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Baker nodded: "Yes, we know, but we still want to listen to your meaning first. After all, technology is yours."
This matter is of great importance, so Baker naturally knew that Qin Zhenhua's words did not count. However, Baker still wanted to hear what Qin Zhenhua said. His answer would be very helpful to Baker's next actions.
"I personally understand your urgency to produce tank shells by yourself." Qin Zhenhua thought for a while and said, "However, based on my personal opinion, you don't have to hurry up, in the words of our Eastern Powers."
To say, we have to eat rice in one bite, and we have to do a little bit of work. We can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry. For example, weren’t we talking about the Khalid tank project just now? Let’s concentrate our efforts first and implement this project.
In the future, it would be better to talk about the technical export of this shell, right? What do you think?"
What Qin Zhenhua said was very real. For the Eastern powers, the most meaningful thing is the progress of the Khalid tank project. If this project is successful, it will be a landmark breakthrough in military trade for the Eastern powers.
The Eastern Power has become a first-class arms supplier, and the R&D technology of the One-machine Factory is also quite powerful and can compete with the old-fashioned tank design institutions left behind in the Soviet era.
After Lao Ba had purchased the T-80UD tank, he continued to develop Khalid tanks until he set up the Khalid tanks to be equipped with the troops. This can illustrate the technical level of the first aircraft factory!
This matter is very important to the first-machine factory and to the great Eastern powers. If this matter can be done, then the subsequent export of shell technology will be natural.
Qin Zhenhua's answer was a guide. After all, the Eastern Power and Lao Ba are good friends and can give Lao Ba the best price. However, Lao Ba is also obliged to promote the Eastern Power, just like
Last time, after bidding, Lao Ba chose Ermao's product, which actually had a very bad impact on the reputation of the first machine factory. Now, Qin Zhenhua's idea is taken care of by everyone.
Good friendship.
If it is an irrelevant customer, then the first machine factory will never export the production technology of shells. It is impossible to think about it. Only for Lao Ba, and this also requires Lao Ba to express it first.
The one is right.
Of course, Qin Zhenhua also has his own considerations. Even if the development plan of Khalid tank is smooth, it will take one or two years to test it. When it comes to finalization, it will take another one or two years, which means that it can
In the past four or five years, by that time, the Eastern powers should have had more advanced core smelting technology, so the technology of the first phase of the bomb should also be within the scope of export.
Time, time is always the most important thing.
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's answer, Berg nodded. He also knew that Qin Zhenhua was right. Before the Khalid tank project was completed, the Eastern powers should not approve the export of the first phase of the foreign trade bullet technology, so they still
