Super military empire

Chapter 425 New Tank, Famous Longwei One

Regarding the six-star red flag raised in northern Myanmar in the southwest region, Liu Yijiu was relieved after learning the news. He didn't know if this would create a Singapore again, but he had to do these things like this.

The corruption of rights to people is very serious, especially when there is no strong supervision by anyone, he can only choose to believe in the core members of the Yang Wei team.

Busy with tank-related technology every day, as a result of the focus of the work in the entire base, their tank project is progressing much faster than the 541 tank base that received the military's development of new main battle tanks and the 617 tank base in Inner Mongolia.

The original project was called 59 Modifications. After Long Yaohua came here to inspect the situation and learned about the performance parameters and appearance of the new tank, they asked them to cancel the name of this project.

At the beginning, Long Yaohua’s original words were: "Such an advanced main battle tank, once the research is successful, this is our domestic third-generation new tank, which is not much worse than the most advanced tanks abroad, called the 59 modification. Such a tank model that has fallen behind has really made this tank too awkward."

Immediately, Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua teasingly what to name this project.

"Aren’t American’s advanced projects like x or something, the Soviet Union is directly called “t”, and Germany is called Leopard. Since we Chinese are descendants of Shilong, we call it Longwei, and after success, we call it Longwei 1. The dragon will definitely be stronger than x or something, even more powerful than the leopard..."

Long Yaohua gave this project such a name like this, which made Liu Yijiu horrified.A tank even dared to call Longwei. Doesn't this make Longwei too weak?

The other party is a big guy, he can't resist, he just whispered and told Long Yaohua that this tank is only a medium tank, but he didn't realize it. Long Yaohua straightened his lips, "You already have 1500 in your hands. Is it difficult to build a heavy tank with a gas turbine with horsepower and a compression diesel engine with 1,500 horsepower? The Soviets’ 1,000-horsepower diesel engine is staring at the sixty or seventy tons of iron bumps all over the world. If there is no way. If you have the power to make a tank that is equivalent to their speed, I think you guys don't want to be independent. Can you honestly develop and develop according to the military's arrangements?"

Long Yaohua, this is a threat.

But in the face of this threat, Liu Yijiu and the others have nothing to do.

If they want to maintain the right to independently establish projects, they must follow the evil tastes of these bigwigs in some ways.

In the spring of 1979, the old man strolled to the South Sea for a walk, and drew a circle at will. So, the reform and opening up of the Republic began quickly and vigorously.The construction of the special zone has allowed China's economy, which has been poor for decades, to take off. Countless foreign-funded companies have poured into the Republic, bringing a considerable amount of foreign exchange to the Republic.

Even Ye Suwen's sw company became the first group of American companies to settle in the SAR.

The company’s office building is currently under construction over there.

Originally, Liu Yijiu was worried that the domestic support for Yang Wei and his ten tanks in the southwest region would have a very big response in the international community, but in the end there was not a single one.

The courageous armed forces led by Peng Jiasheng were supported by the Soviets, and the Americans have long been upset about this.Now there is another armed force that contradicts the Soviets and takes courageously, and is eyeing other warlords supported by the Soviet Union. The Americans are naturally happy to see these things happen.

Even on some private occasions, the United States hinted that China would increase its bold military support to Yang Wei.

These news were all secretly told by Li Yunlong to Liu Yijiu.

Regarding these things, Liu Yijiu could have guessed early on that the time when Yang Wei and the others entered northern Myanmar was very right, and the timing of turning their faces with Peng Jiasheng and replacing them was also just right.All of this is controlled by Yang Wei.

If the Americans do not pour cold water on the Soviets when the Soviet Union expands the communist sphere of influence in Southeast Asia, they will not be able to compete with the Soviet Union and eventually become the global hegemon. The masters will be lonely for decades and wait until the rise of the Republic before they have them The opponent exists.

Liu Yijiu didn't care about these things at all. The conventional weapons that Yang Wei needed were very easy to solve. Rifles, bullets, and sniper rifles were not a problem.

Because of the complex terrain over there, heavy tanks are not suitable at all. The fifty-nine tanks are basically invincible over there.Of course, this is under the premise that the major forces have not introduced the Soviet monkey version of the t72 tank on a large scale.The old American tanks are not rivals to the T72 at all.What's more, even if they want to sell, few other countries in Southeast Asia, except Thailand and Singapore, are willing to buy their equipment.

"Director Liu, you haven't closed your eyes for the past few days. Let's take a break. It will take two days for this tank to complete the final reinstallation!" Regarding Liu Yijiu's own schedule of commuting time in the entire base, he himself Taking advantage of the loopholes, he said that he could accumulate rest. As a result, Qian Dayong was very helpless in staying in the workshop where the Longwei-1 tank was assembled in two shifts every day.

Senior officials crushed people to death.

"Liu, I can't wait to see our tanks show off on the proving ground! Why do I feel like every second of the year now! Can they hurry up?" Pakistani Army representative Alexei In the past few days, he has been staring at this tank, which has not been installed with a tank turret, and other various systems have been installed. He is looking forward to it more and more."Minister Hariyak and General Taka Ax are here now, and they will visit the performance test of the new tank we cooperated throughout!"

Pakistan really attaches great importance to this tank.

The US Army’s xm1 tanks have begun to equip troops on a small scale, and the other side is not willing to sell them to their allies in Europe at this time, let alone an Asian country like Pakistan.

There are some xm1 tank technology on this, and it also has the Chobham tank armor that the British are most proud of.

According to the experiments done by the Ninth Institute, their tank performance is not only higher than the T72's defense, but also because of the 125mm smoothbore gun, and can even use various armor-piercing projectiles developed by the North Industries Group and the Nine Institute’s own production research. These special ammunitions, such as the stabilized empennage and armor-piercing ammunition of the tail wing, increase the attack power.

The powerful 780 horsepower engine can completely make this heavy tank weighing less than forty tons run faster.

When robbing Kashmir in the future, the Indians are the most advanced and proud of the t72 when they see these tanks soaring to a speed of 70 kilometers.

"Comrade Colonel, our comrade workers have worked hard enough. They are desperately installing various equipment and conducting various tests every day. I believe that you will not want to spend tens of millions of dollars to get a tank that is just a target. No?" Liu Yijiu said with a smile.

He hopes to see new tanks appear earlier than the Pakistanis.

If you can catch up with the time, you can focus on them from the beginning, from Iraq and Iran who are ready to fight.

During the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq purchased more than 800 tanks, and Iran did not spend less, and the number was more than 600.There are a total of 1400 tanks, each of which costs only two million U.S. dollars, and the total value is more than two billion U.S. dollars.

Even if they only get half of the orders, this will allow them to obtain funds for the development of two new generations of tanks.

How cheap is it?In an era when labor costs are basically zero, it is conceivable how much cost will be required when technology development has reduced a lot except for some material tests.

Anyway, it will definitely not be the Americans' development costs of hundreds of millions at every turn.

Liu Yijiu did not even tell them how much production and development cost a Longweiyi tank would cost.Anyway, the money in Liu Yijiu's hands is now enough to support the operation of various projects, and it is impossible for them to check their accounts at this time.

"In another three days, you will be able to see black smoke coming from behind our tanks, and engines roaring and running around on the test field!" Liu Yijiu watched the two tanks in the workshop are about to undergo the final turret installation. , And then install the main armor to complete it.

The outer camouflage was done at the beginning, and the engine debugging work was basically done at the same time as their tanks.

There is no alternative. In the beginning, they simply did not have a suitable engine.The 617 tank base also has no suitable tank engine technology, so the main problem of the 69 and 79 tanks developed in the front is the power.

Liu Yijiu believes that once their engine is used in the test, there is no problem, then the Type 79 main battle tank will definitely be replaced with a stronger heart and adopt many of the technologies on their tank.Although the 580-horsepower tank engine saves fuel, it is definitely not the most effective.

Liu Yijiu is also happy to see such things.

The military expenditure of the Republic will be a very poor figure for many years. When the military expenditure of the Americans exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars, the Republic did not have tens of billions of dollars. Most of it was subsidies for officers and soldiers and living expenses training funds. .

Very few are used for equipment development.

"Report to the General Staff and the Logistics Headquarters. We will start the performance test of the new tank in three days!" Liu Yijiu instructed Qian Dayong.

Now Qian Dayong runs by his side in front of him. In order to reduce the burden of his director, Li Rui still trains in the female special forces team of the base every day. The whole person has a lot of energy. In many cases, it is an excuse not to return. , Just avoid Liu Yijiu's harm to her.
