Super military empire

"What's going on? Tang Weidong, I think you need an explanation..." Liu Yijiu's face was a bit ugly. From the beginning, Tang Weidong was preventing him from going to the Soviet expert building, and now it seems to be 055 million tons. The progress of the drive was delayed, and it had something to do with him.

Is there any corruption in it?

The Ninth Institute is in a state of zero tolerance for such things. Anyone who delays the progress of the project, especially for personal gain, is intolerable and absolutely intolerable.

Tang Weidong was here, it seemed that he was out of the framework of the Ninth Academy.

Tang Weidong looked at the people around him with pain, and then looked at Liu Yijiu's firm eyes, knowing that things had to be said, but at this time, this place was not the best opportunity to talk about these things at all, right away. Liu Yijiu said, "Director Liu, can I explain to you privately after coming down?"

"Is there anything that can't be said in front of everyone? I remember when you came here, the management committee should have told you that, here, all the project teams are a whole, an indivisible whole. Only by working closely together can we achieve better results and allow our projects to develop faster and better, right?" Liu Yijiu did not say this, but he knew that the management committee would definitely follow it out to coordinate management. The staff said this.

Tang Weidong nodded, still reluctant to say.

"Say!" Liu Yijiu's anger came up, "You know our base's attitude towards these things. I don't want you to go to the military court to speak."

Liu Yijiu's words are a bit serious.

The others were also moved, and Tang Weidong's face suddenly turned into bitter melon.

"Director Liu..." Tang Weidong is still unwilling to explain here.

"The 0.55 million tons of large-scale drive is the dream of many people and the hard work of many military science and technology workers to see our large destroyers safeguard the rights and interests of our motherland’s oceans, enhance the pride of our entire nation, and make our people feel Security, and you, it seems that the progress of our project has been delayed a lot. The people around you are in conflict with you..." Liu Yijiu's face became more and more severe.

For him, when the 0.55 million ton large drive can conduct sea trials, when it can be installed, and when it will form combat capabilities, is not so important.

What he worries about is corruption in this costly project.

No. 701, Hudong Shipyard, their Ninth Institute cannot manage, but the people in the Ninth Institute must deal with it seriously, otherwise this unhealthy trend cannot be killed.

People in the mountains, especially those family members who followed into the mountains, have become more and more unbalanced in their hearts over the years. It is not because they have paid too much and received too little, but the mountains. The world inside is too small.

I repeat the same day every day, too depressing.

Ever since, everyone is staring at the expatriates from the Ninth Academy.

Tang Weidong knew that this matter could not be said alone. He could only look at Wang Jingui and Mai Dongyue and others on the opposite side. Then he took a deep breath and said to Liu Yijiu: "Director Liu, the progress of the 0.55 million tons drive Being delayed, this really has a lot to do with me. I didn’t want you to see them in the Soviet Experts Building before. I was worried that you would get angry because of this. Because their income and treatment are relative to those of the people here. , A lot lower. Many people think that I deducted their wages and benefits..."

"Aren't you? The funds allocated by the Ninth Academy have to go through your hands. The funds that should have been used for the purchase of warships, but the result? You misappropriated, and many of the various parts purchased were your I was beaten back because of disqualification..." Wang Jingui was brooding about this matter.

He is aware of these conditions.

But the system is not a system, and the higher-level supervisory unit outside cannot control the people of the Ninth Institute at all.

However, Tang Weidong caused many batches of parts to be sent back, instead purchasing products from the unit he selected.

All of this was revealed right next to the 0.55 million ton-level large drive.

Outsiders really didn't understand the treatment of Soviet personnel. At this time, Liu Yijiu keenly felt that there were serious problems inside.

However, as Tang Weidong said, it is not suitable here. Whether it is Tang Weidong or Hudong Shipyard, it will cause serious problems in the cooperation between the two parties.

"Take him back to me to see him in custody. I will get a better understanding of the situation when I come back." Liu Yijiu planned to come down and talk about it.

At this time, Tang Weidong, who had been evasive, quit.

"Director Liu, since they are all asking to speak publicly, let's talk about it here. The original budget of the 0.55 million ton large drive project was only 1.2 billion, but now it has exceeded too much, reaching 2.2 billion. This is because of the project. The cost increase caused by the schedule delay has a lot to do with it, but to a greater extent, it is because of fraud in the procurement of various items..." Tang Weidong said, like a mine falling into the calm water. Jiang churned up a shocking wave.

Wang Jingui immediately jumped up, "You are talking nonsense, spitting people, who did such a thing? All our equipment is tendered, but we did not communicate well with you. In the end, many things were caused by your quality problems. return to……"

As the chief engineer and the head of Hudong Shipyard, Wang Jingui would not accept such charges.

Deng Jianjun also frowned and said, "Our purchases are all military manufacturing units, and all processes are in compliance with standards. Everyone is clear about this."

Tang Weidong's statement would really cause too serious impact.

Otherwise, the Ninth Institute will be allowed to withdraw funds. At that time, the capital chain of the 055 million-ton large drive will break under such circumstances. If the military does not take over, it will be in trouble.

The long-term sea trial requires a lot of costs.

"It is true that they are all tendered, but in the end? The winning bid is not measured by technology and cost? Many units have business dealings with your Hudong Shipyard, and are not even on our supplier list. Quality system audit, And the inspection of supporting qualifications, is it in accordance with the requirements and standards of the Ninth Academy?" Tang Weidong sneered and questioned Wang Jingui."Soviet experts and skilled workers originally worked on your side, and you should bear the basic salary. These are all in the cost of the project, but what about you? Embezzled their expenses and even supplies more than domestic workers. It’s a lot worse. Director Wang, the purchasing department director of Hudong Shipyard is your brother-in-law, right? Director Mai, your daughter is in charge of the logistics supply of the Soviet expert team? I didn’t want to say before, because I don’t want to affect our 10,000 tons. When you look at the products provided by those suppliers, don’t you feel ashamed? The faucet rusted within a few days after it was installed; the electronic equipment suffered a lot of failures during the debugging stage...Even the Soviet technicians Because of doubts, you isolate them from work..."

Tang Weidong's words made Liu Yijiu's face very ugly.

I didn't continue to listen, nor questioned, and then the board was formed, quietly standing on the first 055-class 10,000-ton large drive here.

The Republic’s first 10,000-ton-class destroyer, he absolutely does not want the problems Lao Maozi sometimes encounters.Or it is the issue that India's Asan cares the most. The various equipment has not been used for a few years, it has been rusty, and the electronic system has been faulty before it is used. What kind of combat capabilities can such a warship have?

That's just making an international joke.

Otherwise, he would not ask for no time from the beginning of the project, only quality.

The quality problem appeared, and it was serious enough to affect the combat capability of the warship. How could he stand it?

After walking around on the battleship roughly, Liu Yijiu found that many of the electronic equipment on it had not been installed. The reserved space was empty, or some of them were obviously removed after installation, and they were placed aside.

It is completely opposite to what you see on the outside.

"Let's talk about it, what's going on?" Liu Yijiu returned to the guest house of the shipyard with a gloomy face, and asked Tang Weidong.

Tang Weidong said with a wry smile, “On the issue of bidding suppliers, they did not choose the units we had previously encircled. Although they also have direct manufacturing capabilities, they have no technical strength. After receiving our funds, these units first upgrade their own Technical foundation, purchasing various advanced equipment, and even debts to the bank..."

"Isn't this normal? If you don't even have hardware facilities, how can you do it!" Liu Yijiu didn't understand.

"The problem is that their technical research and development capabilities are not good! Although our technology above is not very different from missile battleships, the technology above is more advanced and more demanding. Therefore, many technical standards are given by them. Lower it...We have also investigated this, and there is no corruption problem. No one at Hudong Shipyard or 701 is taking kickbacks..." Tang Weidong's face was very tangled.

Liu Yijiu's face also became a little weird.

There is no corruption, but it is not choosing the most suitable unit, which makes it hard to understand their thinking.

"Why did they do this?" Liu Yijiu was upset.

"The upgrade of the navy's overall technical base requires huge expenses. The military does not spend a lot of money. In the past few years, it has invested a lot in space and army equipment and basic scientific research. Not too many have reached the Navy..." Tang Weidong explained , Liu Yijiu was speechless.

Obviously, in this matter, the Ninth Court was pitted.

And it was still miserable.

The existence of the missile battleship project has upgraded the technical foundation of some shipbuilding units, but it is only a small part. After all, the main body is the Northern Shipyard.

The Republic’s naval strength is very weak, and the naval equipment manufacturing strength is naturally not strong.

It is not that the military does not want to develop the naval equipment manufacturing industry, but they have to focus their strategic focus on missiles and nuclear submarines in order to develop and obtain an asymmetrical strategic deterrence capability.

The national security strategy adopts a defensive strategy. The missile attack power is strong enough to be used as a deterrent and is more suitable. Moreover, the Republic has a good foundation in missiles, so it must increase investment.

The nuclear submarine is a component of the nuclear deterrence of the Trinity. The Republic is a naval power with a territorial water of millions of square kilometers. The navy needs too many warships and they are all money-burning things, especially the South China Sea is too far away from the mainland. The ocean-going fleet simply cannot effectively protect the security of territorial waters, especially the islands above the small pond in the South China Sea.

Priority funding can only give priority to the development of more powerful equipment, such as nuclear submarines.

Otherwise, it would have to be like India, that stupid country, from the very beginning, has been continuously developing their aircraft carriers, and spending all the military expenditures less than China on the aircraft carriers. With this thing, the naval power will become instantaneous. Asia is number one, but China does not.

As a result, at the end of the day, I couldn’t build an aircraft carrier for many years, but I forced it into the water for the sake of face, but I couldn’t start it...

Liu Yijiu sighed helplessly. Although the military couldn't do this thing authentically, he also knew that it was absolutely impossible for the military to discuss with them.

The funding input of the Ninth Academy will drive part of the development of a group of naval equipment manufacturing enterprises.At least, the overall technical strength is much stronger.

"Then what's wrong with the misappropriation of the Soviet experts' expenses?" Liu Yijiu's expression improved a lot. You must go to the military for theory about this matter.

"Our original plan was not to allocate funds for the resettlement of Soviet experts and technicians and their families to Hudong Shipyard? They did not build according to the standards of our Ninth Academy, nor did they allocate houses according to the standards. , Soviet technical staff’s family members were unable to arrange jobs. After all, there are still many people’s family members and children who haven’t been placed here... In order to retain these Soviet experts and technical staff, I can only embezzle part of the funds to arrange them. Director Liu, this It was my fault. In the past few years, I was reducing the cost and making up the misappropriated expenses... But now, the cost continues to rise, and at the same time, the quality of the products provided by the outsourcing factory they chose has problems, which will occupy more the cost of……"

"Confused, why not report such a matter to the base management committee? If this matter was resolved a few years earlier, would this happen?" Liu Yijiu angrily scolded Tang Weidong.

It's impossible to do this thing like this.

"The management committee has reviewed the increase in costs. This is not a problem. But their quality is not good, and they are returned and let them re-manufacture. Why should we bear the cost?" Liu Yijiu was even more angry about this.

Obviously, for them, if the outsourcing factory has a problem, they have to bear the quality themselves.

"Isn’t Hudong Shipyard? A lot of equipment did not meet our requirements. They also knew that once returned, many of the factory’s benefits would not be good. The money cannot be recovered at all, plus they need new ones. Capital re-production, no money, unable to complete the task..." Tang Weidong said this matter, even more painful.
