The military parade had passed, but Qin Zhenhua did not return to the grassland city immediately. Because there was still a meeting to attend, he waited for a few days.
In the past few days, I have been staying in the Tank Design Institute, and occasionally I go to the Capital Institute of Technology to study with several old professors. Yesterday, a large number of foreign language materials came, Qin Zhenhua, one
The man was in the information room of the Tank Design Institute and watched it all night until Mr. Zhu arrived.
It’s good to be young. I stayed up all night, but now I’m still full of energy. When I heard Mr. Zhu say he was going to a meeting, I immediately got up and walked out with Mr. Zhu.
What meeting?
When I entered the conference room, I would know that on the other side of the rostrum, I was holding a banner with it saying it.
WZ123 project launch meeting!
The 122 tank mentioned above, the 523 armored vehicle, and the 321 chassis. In fact, if you talk about the full name, the WZ prefix is added in the front.
Of course, this is not an English letter, it is all in Chinese pinyin. The W in front represents the meaning of a weapon, the Z in the back represents the armored vehicle, 1 of which represents the tank, similar, 3 represents the self-propelled cannon, 5 represents the armored vehicle, etc. Now,
Take this tank for example. The second digit 1, 2, and 3 means the main battle tank is more important than the medium and light. Although it is no longer popular now, the main battle tank is still attributed to the category of medium tanks. Therefore, the prefix of domestic tanks
Almost all start with WZ12. As for the last third digit, which number of scheme in the series is represented. (The third digit is also said, namely the first, second, and third generation tanks.)
There are many such statements. For example, the famous ZTZ59D in later generations is also called WZ120D, and the current 69 type is called WZ121. As for others, there are also many. For example, the ZTS63 is called WZ211, 63A amphibious is called WZ213, and the 77 infantry fighting vehicle is called WZ511, 79 rescue vehicle
It is called WZ691, the GSL131 minesweeper is called WZ762, the 82A bulldozer is WZ902, etc.
Everyone clearly believes in the meaning of these numbers. Now, when you walk into the conference hall, Qin Zhenhua's new trend is also surging.
The development of the third generation of tanks is finally about to begin from now on!
The person responsible for presiding the meeting was the leaders from the superiors. After all, this new project is a key project of the country.
The thin Mr. Yu sat on the rostrum, next to him was Mr. He. Of course, the army has a great say in such projects. After all, the unit used is the army.
In fact, the pre-research on the third generation of tanks has already begun. When the T-72 tank was brought over, the Tank Design Institute began the initial planning of the project. However, at the beginning, everything was unclear, just knowing that
, We want to build a third-generation tank, but everything is unknown about how to build this third-generation tank and the specific performance data.
Now, a lot of data has finally been settled. With the successful end of the parade, the third generation tank project is finally about to be launched.
"Old Zhu, come up." Seeing Mr. Zhu coming, Mr. He on the stage immediately waved to him, and then saw Qin Zhenhua behind him.
"Zhenhua, come up together and sit here."
Facing Mr. He's invitation, Qin Zhenhua quickly shook his head. That position is not something he can sit on. Zhao Guodong came, and he was sitting in the second row below. He was going up and sitting in that position.
Worth it?
Although I have made many contributions, I have to be more humble, otherwise I will be speechless.
Even Mr. Zhu didn't sit on it, but just sat in the first row, leaning against the corridor. After a while, he needed to go up to report.
The crowds were crowded with people, including some affiliated colleges, all came here. When Qin Zhenhua sat down, Dean Wang Limin and Professor Cao Jianli of the Capital Institute of Technology there nodded to him and signaled.
.
Capital Institute of Technology is actually a college within the legal system. For this third-generation tank project, these experts from Capital Institute of Technology are eager to try and want to participate in front-line research and development work.
"Okay, everyone is here, we have a meeting." Clearing his throat, Mr. Yu said there: "A few days ago, we successfully held a military parade, showing the development of our country's military industry since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Especially our 80 tank appeared in this military parade for the first time, which caused a great sensation. In the past few days, foreign military officers have been constantly inquiring about the news about our tank."
"This is the result we have achieved, but we also know that the results can only represent the past, not the present and the future. At the same time, we also know that although we have 80 tanks, compared with the advanced level in the world, it is still
There is a big gap, we must strive to catch up. Today's WZ123 project is the step to catch up with the world's advanced level."
"Now, please explain to you the needs of the army and the standards that this project needs to meet." After presiding over the meeting ceremony, Yu quickly got to the point.
"A few years ago, we went to Europe and inspected the tanks in Europe. Whether it was the chief or the Leopard-2, we were all shocked by the advanced performance of this tank. This year, we went to the United States again and met them.
"M1 tank." Mr. He did not talk about the goal directly, but talked about some experiences first.
"We went abroad, broadened our horizons, saw what advanced Western tanks looked like, and knew how big the gap was." Mr. He said: "So, what should we do next?"
"At that time, we considered introducing technology and production, but the West did not want to sell us first-class advanced technology, at most some outdated technology. We wanted 120mm guns, but they refused, so they could only give us 105mm guns.
For technology, we want to buy their tank and diesel engines, and they also refuse in every way. They are only willing to sell finished products and sell finished products to us at a high price. Their goal is to make money!" Mr. He's words resounded throughout the audience: "Then
,We went to the United States, and the Americans proposed a plan to give us tanks for free, the condition is to include them in their combat system and let us accept their command when fighting!"
When he said this, the atmosphere in the conference room had become serious, and only Mr. He's voice resounded throughout the audience.
"One thing tells us that relying on foreigners is unreliable, and relying on buying cannot buy modern national defense! We cannot wait, we cannot be full of fantasy, and modern national defense can only rely on our own hands.
