Chapter 514 Opportunities are reserved only for those who are prepared
September 22, 1980.
Just after the 1980s, the world situation suddenly changed a lot, including the overall Cold War and the local hot war. However, both sides of the war still had nothing to do with the US and the Soviet Union.
Anyway, the fight started.
As long as the fight starts, it will be beneficial to our side.
Now, don't worry about exporting.
There is a lot of resistance to exporting 69-2 foreign trade tanks. In addition to the first batch of product quality issues, of course, there is also the Soviets' counter-production effect. Soviet tanks are the only choice for the country. Now, it is suddenly necessary to import tanks from major Eastern powers. Of course, the Soviets are unwilling to do so, and they must make things difficult for every means.
Now, the fight begins.
What will the Soviets behave after the fight begins?
The Soviets' attitude was very strange. They wanted to win over another country and always felt that this country was against the United States. Therefore, the Soviets took this opportunity to bring them over and achieve strategic breakthroughs. The originally close countries here were neglected.
The opportunity that Yimai Factory has been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived.
Afterwards, many people envied Qin Zhenhua and Zhao Guodong. At that time, the Yimai Factory was facing a crisis of life and death. Even Ma Panshan resigned, believing that there was no way to continue to lead the Yimai Factory and that it would not be ruined in their own hands.
At that time, no one dared to take it, and they all thought it was a hot potato. Therefore, Qin Zhenhua and Zhao Guodong came up. This pair of pair was also considered to be ordered in the face of danger, just like Liu Bei entrusting his orphan back then.
And now, someone is about to have a red eye disease behind the scenes. Damn, your luck is so good!
After taking office, a few months later, there was a war here. The export of weapons will definitely be fine. Even those with poor quality will be required. The modification plan for the 59 tank of the army was also decided. We are making money at home and abroad. At the beginning, if I had become the director of a machine factory, I would have been able to be prosperous.
There must be people who think this way, but now the first machine factory has settled, and it is not that easy for them to pick fruits.
If you say that this is because of good luck, it is indeed the component of luck, but this is not all the component of luck. Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared!
If the 59 tank modification plan of the first machine factory does not have enough advantages, then domestic orders may fall into the second machine factory, or even be snatched away by the first-machine factory. Foreign orders are not stupid, but foreigners need weapons. If they go to the battlefield, even the fire control system cannot work properly, can they want tanks?
Now that the news came, everyone was shocked by the news.
Some people sighed that Qin Zhenhua’s analysis was true, and some people were envious. Now, it’s time for a machine factory to grab money, and some people were worried that the world situation would become more and more chaotic and would there be any problems with domestic economic development?
The arrival of this news caused a stir, but now, it will not stop everyone immediately.
"This is our 1223 tank prototype." When we arrived in the workshop, the tank that was finally assembled and about to be completed appeared in front of everyone.
After the group of people in the R&D room were fired, the project fell into the Storm Tank team. Everyone accelerated the progress and made it completely within a few months.
The appearance of this tank is very similar to the original three-hydraulic tank. Below is the structure of six pairs of load-bearing wheels, and above is a cast hemispherical turret.
This thing was originally a technical foundation. The idiots in the R&D room were so ill that they complained to the capital, but they were not created. But they were in their own hands and were quickly completed.
Today, Zhu Lao did not attend the modification meeting of the 59 tank because he was not worried at all. Now, he is commanding the installation of the final components next to the tank.
"Old Zhu, they all said you are overjoyed." Huang Lao said: "Yiji Factory is simply your home."
"Yes." Zhu Lao said: "The 1223 tank has been installed. How about it? Should I try it?"
Finally completed all the final assembly projects!
"Is that so good?" said Mr. Huang, "I'm going to try it."
After saying that, he climbed up.
The turret was directly used with the existing turret, and everything inside was familiar. At this time, half of the body was exposed. Old Huang sighed: "This tank is so big that it's really good. This turtle shell is more suitable when it is buckled on this car body."
"All our technologies are almost ready-made, and they are considered to be improved by using the storm tank technology of foreign trade." Zhu Lao said: "At the beginning, this 1223 tank was just a low-end product. However, I now think that if the troops urgently need advanced tanks, they might as well consider equipping a batch."
This tank?
Six pairs of load-bearing wheels are used to increase the body space, and a 730-horsepower diesel engine is used. The entire chassis can be said to have reached the highest level in China.
Although the performance abroad is better, it cannot be afforded. In comparison, it is cheap and practical at home.
The turret is also ready-made, which saves costs to the maximum extent and facilitates the modification and training of the troops. After all, it is almost the original product.
"What you said is a plan." Huang Lao said: "Our tank troops have been waiting for too long."
Back then, when the 59 tank was just equipped, it was still in line with the world. However, after more than 20 years, there was almost no progress. Western tank technology has developed rapidly.
The domestic 59 tank is still a first-generation tank, while the Western one is already a third-generation tank.
The army also wants to buy a batch of Leopard-2 tanks to achieve rapid development of equipment, but the country's economy is limited.
In the end, only the L7 tank gun and the 331 diesel engine were introduced, hoping to lay the foundation for our own advanced tanks based on mastering these technologies.
"It is unrealistic for us to have modern tanks all at once. In the current situation, it is best for us to take small steps, continuously improve and improve, and continuously develop. At the same time, the troops can also be equipped one after another, so that the troops can provide us with sufficient development funds." Qin Zhenhua said next to him.
"Your machine factory is still short of money now?" Xie Huimin joked.
"Of course, we have made long-term plans to invest more funds in R&D. We still have so many workers to support, so of course we are short of money."
"The one over there is a 69-3 tank, right?" Mr. Huang stood on the 1223 tank and asked Mr. Zhu.
