Super military empire

Chapter 426 Five pairs of road wheels, where can the performance be better?

Three days passed slowly through the intense work of equipment and equipment testing among many staff members. Long Yaohua, who was in charge of this aspect of the General Staff, arrived at the base, and Li Yunlong, the head of logistics, came here in person.

Even Pakistani Defense Minister Mohamed Khaliyak and their chief tank expert Mohammed Taka Akes arrived before the Dragon Guard I completed the final assembly and stepped off the assembly line.

They want to witness this historic moment.

This day is an important day that can be written into the history of the military development of China and Pakistan.The new third-generation medium-sized main battle tank jointly developed by China and Pakistan is about to go offline.All parts are made in China!As far as Pakistan is concerned, although they have only paid out, and in the future, the main key components such as engines and tank guns, gun sighting systems, and artillery systems can be manufactured in their military factories, which is not a problem at all.

Anyway, they are able to produce independently, unless the relationship with China is froze, otherwise they will not be stuck by the Chinese.

It is not that the Chinese are unwilling to give them their own manufacturing capabilities, but they find that the cost of building production lines and training technicians and skilled workers within their own production engines is too high.

"Xiao Liu, is the painting of this tank too ugly? The tanks are all painted with toads. Why did you make it yellow? Isn't this easy to spot?" Li Yunlong didn't pay too much attention to the performance of the tank. Was it his son-in-law. How could it be worse?

The new tanks of the 617 tank base have not been designed and finalized until now, and there has been no movement from the 541 until now.They spent a lot of money.

This is not his favoritism, but the 617 base and the 541 base. After Longya got Lao Maozi’s t72 from the southwest battlefield, each family had a share. The project basically started at that time. The people in the Yangwei team came from the Soviet Far East. After the T64 was stolen from the theater, they also obtained prototypes. The technical strength of the two tank bases was much stronger than that of the Ninth Institute, which had only a technical backup and had little research capability. As a result, the project progress of the two units has not even been finalized. Completed, and the samples of the Ninth Institute have been offline.

"Minister Li, this is a desert camouflage that we specially developed. These tanks are much better than green with this camouflage in areas with little preparation and coverage. Of course, it's not just such a painting. "Liu Yijiu wanted to tell Li Yunlong the truth, but in the end it was over.

First, the camouflage of the tanks of the Republic of China is really ugly.

Second, these tank republics will equip themselves, but the quantity of equipment will definitely not be much better. The main customers of the tanks they need to produce are the two countries in the Middle East that are preparing for war. Both of them are named Iraq. For desert terrain, this kind of painting is much better than military green.

These things cannot be told to these big bosses at the beginning, otherwise even if the local tyrants in the Middle East arrive in the morning, they may not be able to sell them.

Liu Yijiu is still considering whether to give a hint to the Pakistanis and ask them to take the initiative to communicate with Iran, sell the tanks to the Iranians, and wait until the Iran-Iraq War to have them invest more than 85 million. The dollar tanks earn their investment back as soon as possible.

On this, Liu Yijiu pitted the Pakistanis. All the funds were provided by the Pakistanis, and they themselves made a lot of money on this. After all, too many experiments were saved.

"Old Li, is the effect good? This can only be qualitative only in the test!" Long Yaohua hates Li Yunlong for showing off his son-in-law at every turn, and then brags about how good his vision is. The family snatched the son-in-law's behavior.

As Long Yaohua guessed, even if no one spoke up, he started by himself, “It’s very good, young man, innovative, knowing that different camouflage coatings are designed according to different environments to make our tanks more powerful. His survivability is good, very good..." The praise is here, and he starts to become narcissistic, "But this is also a lot to Lao Tzu. If it weren't for Lao Tzu to give you autonomy, we wouldn't see such a thing. Well, Lao Long, do you think..."

Long Yaohua cursed shamelessly, turned his head with an expression that I didn't recognize him, and the others could only praise the leader's wise.

No one cares how much the tank’s performance parameters can reach. For those who don’t know the inside of the tank, this tank is estimated to be like Type 69 again, because the various technical performances are too far from the third-generation foreign tanks, and there is no fundamental. In the end, the breakthrough can only become a bunch of drawings, accumulating experience for domestic researchers.

"Yuming, Shuhao, what do you think of this tank?" Long Yaohua was very unhappy when he saw Li Yunlong's old man shamelessly blow himself up more and more. I also have a wife like a flower and a beautiful girl, Liu Yijiu may be his own son-in-law, where can he be too awkward!

If in private, he directly said that the girl of the Situ family was about to be with Liu Yijiu, and he could shut up Li Yunlong.

But not now, there are too many people here who cannot touch these things.

Li Yuming, the person in charge of the 617 tank base; Chen Shuhao, the person in charge of the 541 tank base; these two had no intersection with this unit they didn’t even know about, and they didn’t even have heard of it. Called here to let the opponent use the newly produced five pairs of new-generation medium tanks to crush their hearts back and forth.

From the beginning, they were different from others, and their faces showed a lot of loneliness.

"Chief, if we have as much funding as them, we can quickly get it out! The annual funding for the entire base is so small, everyone has to feed it..." Li Yuming took a deep breath before looking at it. The two drivers had climbed to the top of the tank with the hatch open, and said to Long Yaohua."Although the appearance has changed a lot, who knows how?"

Chen Shuhao did not speak. The fate of the 541 base has been doomed. The above orders have caused many workshops and branch factories to transform. The first batch of units converted from military to civilians have begun to produce civilian products.

They will not engage in tanks in the future, so naturally there will be no contradictions.

He is naturally happy to see a new advanced tank.

The state's military industry is only known to those engaged in military industry.

Jiang Ming became very angry when he heard this. When these guys went to their side to ask for technical support and assistance, they were dragged one by one like two to eighty thousand, but now they are still cheeky and say that if they have their own side. So much funding can be obtained.

"Director Li, are you sure that you can design and produce new tanks with the same performance as ours with the same amount of funds and the same amount of time as ours? Do you think these tanks are just changing the shape design, and everything else is useless? "Immediately asked Li Yuming with a cold face.

Li Yunlong did not brag about how he discovered Liu Yijiu's talents and gave the entire Ninth Academy a different treatment from other scientific research units.

"What's the big deal? The domestic foundation is like that. How advanced can you compare us? The electronic equipment is not good, the materials are not good, the processing and manufacturing are not good..." Li Yuming did not know the situation of the Ninth Institute, he knew the Ninth Institute and 541 The tank bases are just their technical backups, and the Ninth Academy has only a very small-scale production capacity. The main thing is to keep the drawings and various technical personnel to prevent the Republic from losing the ability to make tanks in the worst of the war.

Can such a base have more talents than them?Can experts in various fields compare with them?

"Furthermore, no matter how advanced the technology is, there are only five pairs of road wheels!"

In China, the most painful thing for all scientific and technological workers engaged in armored vehicles is the inability to produce heavy tanks with six pairs of road wheels!

If the tonnage cannot go up, the defense and offensive ability will naturally be much worse.

The main reason is the lack of engine performance. The Republic can produce the 580-horsepower engine originally imported from the Soviet Union. This engine cannot hold the heavy iron bumps and run around on the ground.

When Jiang Ming heard this, he smiled and said nothing.

Instead of debating now, it is better to enter the proving ground for a while and let the facts speak for themselves.

"What happened to the five pairs of road wheels? Isn't it possible that the five pairs of road wheels can't hold up tanks with higher defense and stronger firepower? The performance of these tanks directly kills the new generation of main battle tanks you are still studying!" Qian Dayong also Very upset with Li Yuming's attitude.

The 617 base obviously occupies the most funds, and their funds are all state funds. From the very beginning, they have made their own money!

He knows how much money has been invested in it, he knows better than anyone else. They are equivalent to starting from scratch. Materials, engines, and processing equipment are all done by themselves. If you put aside the development and production of some special CNC machine tools for processing tank engines, this The cost will be lower, far from a base like 617 that can match the capital utilization rate.

"Boom! Boom..." When the two sides were about to quarrel, the two "weird" tanks with khaki camouflage paintings that had stayed in place, carrying 125mm cannons emitted bursts of black smoke, and then moved. Up.

Due to time constraints, these tanks were not equipped with reactive armor made of inert explosives.

The test field built in the newly completed mountain this time only tested some aspects of mobility.In the next six months, these tanks will have to be transported to the northern desert and northeast cold regions for various harsh tests.
