"President Qin, what kind of car is this?" Colonel Luo asked. At the same time, the senior officers of a group of armored soldiers behind him were also shining in their eyes.
Armored, just tanks and armored vehicles? Of course not.
Tanks are main battle weapons and armored vehicles. They are used to transport accompanying infantry, but they still need a large number of reconnaissance vehicles to go out to investigate before fighting.
These reconnaissance vehicles used to be type 63 armored vehicles. Although the mobility of the tracked chassis is good, the speed is too low and the fuel consumption is high.
If you change to this kind of car, the mobility is almost the same, but the speed is much faster, and the efficiency of investigation is even higher.
"It's a northern warrior off-road vehicle produced by our northern industry," Qin Guan said. "It's still in the trial production stage. It can be used to replace 212. As the next generation of 0.5T military vehicle series products of the army, it can also have various deformations."
Hearing Qin Guan's words, a leader immediately said, "our second machinery department doesn't have this project."
The army should be equipped with a new generation of off-road military vehicles. At least the instructions of the superior should be followed step by step.
Qin Guan smiled: "yes, this is a self-developed project."
At the beginning, the Hummer exchanged by Qin Guan was left to a factory in the capital, asking them to map and copy it for production, but then there was no Hummer.
At that time, Qin Guan also felt that they were procrastinating. Later, he was relieved to think about it. If he walked down according to this set of procedures of the army, it must be a long delay.
The army first proposed the project. Our current 0.5-ton off-road vehicle should be eliminated. It is time to develop the next generation of off-road vehicle. Then, the superior will hold a meeting to discuss and study it step by step until the project is issued and the funds are allocated. It will take a lot of time.
In particular, with the economic transformation of the country, less and less funds are allocated to the army. The army also has key projects such as tanks. I don't know whether it has the ability to develop this off-road vehicle.
Therefore, Qin Guan did not rely on the army at all. This is just a self-developed project.
"Then you are not afraid that after the research, the army has no orders, and then you spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in vain?" the leader was very strange.
"Of course not. The market economy is like this." Qin Guan said, "as long as our products are of excellent quality, we will certainly be able to win the favor of users. In this way, even if the army is not equipped, we can export. Our northern heavy trucks have been exported to yezao country, and our current military off-road vehicle is also confident to export."
When Qin Guan said this, someone frowned.
Something's wrong. These people seem to have something on their mind? It's normal to say that you don't have to rely on yourself. You raise funds by yourself. After the development is completed, everyone is happy?
What's going on?
That's strange.
"We are very interested. I really hope our division can equip this kind of off-road vehicle." major Luo didn't have so many ideas and clearly expressed his views. He knew it just when he saw the car. It's much better than his 212.
"Our tanks are going to be finalized?" Qin Guan looked at the past. At this time, the 79 tanks were quite powerful and domineering.
The gun barrel is high, with a diameter of 120mm. Its power is also against the sky. Although it is not as big as 125mm, it uses full loaded shells, which has more potential in armor piercing. The car body and turret are almost the whole imitation leopard-2
The state of Han has ordered a batch of leopard-2 in small quantities. After the army used it, it was full of praise.
"Yes, Mr. Qin, with the help of the North heavy truck factory, we have solved the problems of engine and hydraulic transmission system. The power system is stable, so this tank can be finalized." Zhu Lao said to Qin Guan.
"It's good to be finalized." Qin Guan said, "when this tank is finalized, we can equip our tank forces and earn foreign exchange through export. People in the date country can't wait. Our army may not have many orders, but relying on the date country can definitely feed our 6617 factory."
When Qin Guan said this, even Zhu Lao's face looked different.
Qin Guan finally couldn't help it. He asked Zhu Lao, "Zhu Lao, am I wrong?"
Zhu Lao's face was embarrassed: "President Qin, there are still some small problems here."
"What's the problem?" Qin Guan was very strange. It's a technical problem. You should have come to me long ago. Let's solve it together.
"That's right." at this time, commander Cheng, the armored commander of the capital military region, said: "the performance of our tank has exceeded the original leopard-2, which means that our tank belongs to the most advanced tank of this era. Therefore, should we shrink the performance of our exported tanks to avoid exposing our tank performance."
Immediately, Qin Guan understood.
Commander Cheng continued: "for example, we use tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets. When we export them, we can export ordinary steel core armor piercing bullets. We use our most advanced chobam armor. If we export them, we can export ordinary armor. Anyway, they can't see it, so we can avoid divulging Secrets."
Among the world's weapons exports, Xiong Guo likes to do this most. For example, the T-72 exported to date country has shrunk a lot compared with the self-use version. The armor wearing elasticity is not enough to penetrate the enemy's armor. The protective force is insufficient. There is sand between the two layers of armor.
So, what is the result of this?
On the battlefield, it exploded as soon as it was hit, which completely discredited the reputation of bear's weapons. As a result, bear's weapons could not be exported when they saw their performance on the battlefield. No one was willing to buy a monkey version of T-72
Xiong Guo was forced to be helpless. He simply upgraded the T-72 and renamed it T-90. Then he continued to deceive and successfully sold hundreds of vehicles to Xiangguo.
So, with such serious consequences, why export the monkey version?
The reason is also very simple, that is, confidentiality.
It's a secret how strong your tanks are and how strong their armor wearing performance is. Even the chobam armor has good protection in future generations, but how much protection? No one knows. The information in those magazines is just calculation.
Real data, only they know.
However, if you export your own, the secret cannot be kept.
So, how to weigh all this is very important. As long as it is exported and used in other countries, there will be a risk of disclosure, which will pose a great threat to our own armored forces, especially now, when a border war may break out at any time.
