Super military empire

"Although this gun has many shortcomings, its range is far enough, its power is large enough, and its cost is much lower than that of missiles..." Long Yaohua said with a frown."We hope you don't seal up the technology. If you don't make further research and development, you can transfer these technologies to other brother units..."

"That's better than our own research and development. The military is planning to establish a few 203 howitzer battalions?" Liu Yijiu didn't want to get the technology out for others to mess around.

The 203mm howitzer is the largest caliber howitzer developed by the Republic.

The 203mm howitzer researched by Tian Deming has a caliber of 203.2mm, a 52-fold barrel, and a total combat weight of 18.7 tons, and a dimensional barrel interface is installed at the front to make the barrel look longer.

The rate of fire is two rounds per minute, which is more powerful than the w90 203mm howitzer developed by the Republic.With a muzzle velocity of 1233 m/s, the weight and range of the projectile launched are: bottom-concave projectile, weighing 101.9 kg, and having a maximum range of 53 kilometers; bottom row projectile, weighing 103.4 kg, and having a maximum range of 70 kilometers.

Yes, these things are actually theoretical data that can be determined.

Tian Deming lied about this matter, and Liu Yijiu did not hold him accountable.

Because this matter did not cause serious consequences. If it were not for Ma Hansan, he would not have done such a thing. Under the hands of Ma Hansan, it is naturally impossible to do anything. Anyone The technicians all have their own tempers.

On the contrary, Liu Yijiu looked at him differently, Tian Deming was much better than Lu Ruixiang, who was just a good old man with mud.

After all, this guy has always been a taciturn person.

"Can this gun be developed into a self-propelled howitzer? If so, maybe it can be equipped with more. Internationally, most countries are equipped with such heavy artillery. Although the speed is slow, it can carry out deep strikes!"

"It is possible to develop a self-propelled howitzer. But the accuracy is still a big problem. These barrels are very difficult to process, especially the 64 rifling lines are designed in the barrel. At the beginning, in order to take into account the cost issue, once the rifling is smooth Now, the inner hole can be bored and changed to a 210 mm high-pressure smoothbore gun... According to some of our technical research, if the barrel of this gun is extended to 17 meters, 80 times the caliber, rotation is stabilized, and the chamber pressure is increased. Maximum temperature, design a new type of shell that can increase the range of this cannon to 120 kilometers..."

"Enough!" Liu Yijiu didn't expect that this guy is the same type as the artillery lunatic Bool.

He never thought that Tian Deming would have such an idea and technical inference.

When the Republic developed the w90 type 203 mm heavy howitzer, it can be said that it put a lot of energy into it. According to Tian Deming, most of them are almost the same, except that the w90 type 203 mm howitzer needs to be used. The 130mm standard bottom exhausted jujube core projectile (about 33 kg) with a shell support can increase the range to 150 kilometers!

However, the 17-meter-long barrel is too difficult to process.

The current 52-times body tube is a method used because their 57-times body tube cannot be processed to the required accuracy range and the production level is not good.

The current barrels are already 10.5 meters!

"Lao Tian, ​​I hope you can do what you have at hand first! Don't be like this again, otherwise no one can explain it." What Liu Yijiu fears most is meeting a lunatic like Tian Deming.

Although, he is also such a lunatic.

But artillery will not really have much effect in future wars. Although the cost is much lower, this type of artillery is simply not as easy to carry as a mortar.

"What is the current accuracy of this gun?" Long Yaohua glared at Liu Yijiu, not allowing him to speak, but asked Tian Deming.

"The range deviation is within 400 meters, and the lateral deviation is within 120 meters." Tian Deming said without thinking, "Chief, this is just theoretical data. The specifics must be determined after this test."

Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and stared at Tian Deming, but this guy didn't even look at his murderous eyes.

Instead, he gave Long Yaohua a detailed introduction to the various situations of the 203mm howitzer he developed.

"I will go to the north with you to watch the artillery test. Liu Xiaozi, don’t let your face down. From the very beginning, you have been obstructing the development of our country’s artillery. Don’t you know that although this missile is accurate and flexible, The cost of artillery is lower? Which country in the world has not developed artillery?" Long Yaohua's words completely left Liu Yijiu helpless.

He didn't want the Republic to invest too much into the cannon.

But he couldn't persuade these big guys.

Various methods have been tried, but these big guys were frightened by the bombs of the little devil and the Americans.

Moreover, a missile can cost tens of thousands, but these shells cost only a few thousand dollars, and the most is no more than ten or twenty thousand. Compared with missiles, it is really cost-effective.

"Chief, since you said that, what else can I say?" Liu Yijiu stretched out his hands helplessly and shrugged.

"Since you can't say anything, shut up! Tian Deming is still responsible for this matter. I don't care whether you do it in Daba Mountain or the 2983 factory here. You have to see the finished product. Moreover, your Ninth Institute has Responsible for making a self-propelled gun, aren’t you studying the miniaturization of artillery radar? Are you studying computer-aided aiming and other technologies? Then let’s integrate these technologies..." Long Yaohua assigned Liu Yijiu a task .

Liu Yijiu didn't even have a chance to object.

He knew that this was not what Long Yaohua meant by himself.

Since there is no alternative, I can only delay the progress as much as possible.

"Chief, there is no problem with the export of this artillery?" Liu Yijiu suddenly thought that the Republic pays the bill, and the cost is a bit high. It is best to find some people who are taking advantage of it and purchase a batch of such heavy artillery.

Whether it is Pakistan, Iraq, or Iran, it should be most interested in this artillery.

"Who do you want to export to? Anyway, your kid don't want to go abroad! A lot of things, your fighter planes, the first flight time has been delayed repeatedly, I want to ask you, this year, can I see the first flight? "Long Yaohua did not oppose Liu Yijiu's selling this kind of sky-defying artillery, but did not want Liu Yijiu to twist him to discuss whether the artillery conforms to the law of future development.

Many military experts in the Republic, based on the opinions of Liu Yijiu that the Central Military Commission attaches great importance to, combined with the situation of various countries in the world, and analyzed the domestic reality, they feel that the artillery will not be able to withdraw from the stage of history in the next few decades. Will be bigger.

There are missiles for long-range fire attacks, but the cost of missiles is high and saturation strikes are impossible, only precision strikes.

Unlike artillery, it can completely cover a large area of ​​firepower and saturate shelling.

There is a long-range cannon with a range of 70 kilometers, and then it is possible to increase the range to more than 120 kilometers, and the accuracy is not too bad. What a cheap mass strike weapon this will be!

"Boy, whether it was the Iran-Iraq War, the Anglo-Arab war, or the Soviet Union's Western-82 military exercises, they all told the whole world that the development of artillery is very important! Whether it is tanks or armored vehicles, it is all Mobile artillery, but they cannot use large-caliber artillery to increase their power..."

"Chief, I know!" Liu Yijiu sighed and whispered.

That is, Long Yaohua will explain this to him.

Liu Yijiu couldn't tell Long Yaohua that the domestic gang of military theories had no idea about the form of future warfare.

They just see how other countries are doing, and then they think how China should be.Will not consider the actual situation.

"Even if you said that the artillery will gradually withdraw from the stage of history in the future, at this stage, our disarmament work has begun to prepare, and the combat effectiveness of the troops must be improved. We do not have advanced fighters. Even if the Dragon Guard tank proves to be very powerful. , You also prevent the army from carrying out equipment on a large scale. Once there is a war, how to fight it?"

"Chief, I understand. Don't worry, we will strongly support the 203mm gun project."

"It's fine if you don't object." Long Yaohua waved his hand.

He was afraid that Liu Yijiu would be in trouble.

Only after the Gulf War, the Americans showed their high-tech warfare methods to the world, will these domestic guys wake up.

The country has always continued the Soviet Union's Continental Army thought, and like the Soviet Union, it does not attach importance to the development of the navy and other troops.

However, because of the strength of the Soviet Union, the strategic rocket force, the air force, and the strategic submarine force can all make the world tremble.

How many are there in the Republic?

Perhaps, developing artillery is also a helpless choice.

It's just that too much investment in the development of artillery will affect the development of other weapons and equipment.

It is because the Republic is poor, and most of its strategic focus has shifted to economic construction.

The development of a country’s national defense requires not only the development of weapons and equipment, but also the support of advanced military theory and a huge industrial base.

Currently, China does not have these.

The Ninth Court, like a castle in the sky, might one day collapse due to some problems.

In future wars, basically in every battle, there is no room for artillery.Because of positional warfare, it is no longer applicable.The Iran-Iraq War was the last positional offensive and defensive battle in history that Liu Yijiu knew.

These need time to prove.

Moreover, he is constantly improving Iraq’s war potential, and the Republic will learn more from the Gulf War.

Now, it's time to lay the foundation.
