To say that the most painful is the Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov, wanting to develop new military vehicles is not just an empty talk. It requires technical personnel, technical equipment, and huge financial support. These are indispensable. After all, with the accumulation of Soviet technology, they want to catch up or surpass the United States. It's not just difficult, it's even basically impossible.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade of the Soviet Union looked helpless. Not only did American cars have advanced performance, but also the Black Cloud Group and Bao Zixuan. But what kind of Soviet military vehicles, even the ** people are disgusted, not to mention other Warsaw Pact countries.
The road conditions in the Soviet Union are very poor, and the maintenance of military vehicles is very poor. Who would want such second-hand products, except to buy scrap steel. If it is tanks and armored vehicles, it may still be possible, but military vehicles are still not.
The top leader has already spoken, and it can only be implemented unconditionally. Even if it is difficult, you must go up, or you will definitely not be able to keep your position. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade could only find Ustinov, hoping to use prestige to force the members of the Warsaw Pact to buy some Soviet military vehicles. After all, the funds for the products sold are attributed to the research and development of new military vehicles of the Ministry of Defense.
KGB chairman Chebrikov returned to the office and immediately organized personnel to investigate. The final result can only be the loss of soldiers and generals, in vain.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many believed that this meeting should not have been held. Because of this meeting, the Soviet Union suffered huge losses. There may not be a meeting, and everyone will treat it as if nothing happened, and the effect will be better.
But it is too late to say anything, the powerful Soviet Union is no longer there.
Turner served as NATO Allied Commander-in-Chief in Europe and had little influence on other countries except the Soviet Union. The Heiyun Group holds so many retired weapons and equipment, which is really eye-catching.
China is the most concerned, although the economy has picked up at this time. However, the Chinese mainland, which upholds the hardship and pragmatic style, still wants to get some retired US military weapons and equipment. Not only can it be used to equip troops, but it may also be inspired by research.
Just when the top Soviet leaders held an emergency meeting, so did China.
The first is that the technicians report to the senior leaders, what weapons and equipment the Black Cloud Group purchased from the United States; and the deficiencies and technical gaps compared with similar products in China.
Although they knew that the technology was completely behind at this time, no one expected that the gap would be so large. The revival of the country is really a long way to go.
Huaxia Defense Minister said solemnly: "Comrades, although the country needs to develop the economy, the military can make appropriate concessions, but the national defense construction must not be slack. It is related to national security and cannot give other countries any opportunities."
"So I suggest negotiating with Heiyun Group to see how much weapons and equipment they are willing to sell to us from the United States. Although it is retired American equipment, its performance is already behind its most advanced products. Compared with ours Its own weapons and equipment are at least ten years ahead."
"It's not terrible to be backward, what's terrible is that we don't have the courage to admit it. With the help of second-hand weapons and equipment, it is very feasible to develop Huaxia's own products."
There is no shame in reverse imitation, especially in the military industry. Even imitation can not do well, that is really a shame. When China was founded, it can be said that it was poor and white, not to mention the industrial base. But even so, the older generation is not afraid. Under the attack of the international community, it has developed a road suitable for its own industry.
It is very feasible to purchase decommissioned weapons and equipment from Heiyun Group. It's just limited by foreign exchange reserves, and I don't know what the other party thinks.
Because of the strong investment of Xiangjiang businessmen, especially Bao Zixuan. At this time, China's foreign exchange reserves have increased a lot compared to the previous life, but at the same time, the pace of development has also accelerated a lot. There are more projects that require foreign exchange, and it is difficult to come up with too many dollars for the military to buy weapons and equipment from abroad.
The person in charge of the foreign exchange department said: "I also agree with the purchase of weapons and equipment. However, the country's foreign exchange reserves are insufficient, unless the Black Cloud Group agrees to pay with Huaxia currency, otherwise the amount will not be too large. We can do our best to provide 300 million US dollars. , not a single point more."
"It's still going to have to get rid of other projects, or maybe even less."
300 million US dollars looks a lot, but compared to weapons and equipment, it is not enough. Even the most advanced bomber of the Black Cloud Group could not be bought, and the military was very dissatisfied with this figure.
Without capital investment, it is difficult to build a strong national defense. This is not the time when Xiaomi and a rifle can fight a war. Strong national defense requires huge capital investment, otherwise the weapons and equipment cannot be equipped.
Minister of Defense: "The military has made great concessions in the process of economic development. We have never thought about new weapons. But we can't even buy second-hand weapons and equipment. Isn't it a bit excessive."
"Military personnel can go hungry, but their weapons and equipment can't be without oil. Our soldiers have the courage and determination to face death. They can use simple weapons and equipment to let them fight; that's no different from dying. Without a strong army, nation building It's futile to be beautiful; because you simply can't keep it."
The Secretary of Defense's words made the scene fall into contemplation, economic construction is very important. But national defense is more important, and it is not advisable to blindly let the military make concessions.
The person in charge of foreign exchange said: "National defense is very important, but the country's foreign exchange reserves are really limited. If it is all handed over to the military to buy weapons and equipment, what about other projects."
"Many are national key projects and have already entered the construction stage. The suspension of these projects will bring huge losses to the country."
The highest level heard this and knew to give an opinion. Everyone is for work, and everyone has the right idea. Foreign exchange reserves are limited, do you think of ways to do it in other ways?
If you buy weapons and equipment from other companies, it may be more troublesome. However, for the Black Cloud Group and Bao Zixuan, the top management is still very confident. This kid can't say how patriotic he is, but at least he is very optimistic about China's economy.
Top level: "You can try to pay with Huaxia coins, but I really can't think of other ways."
Now that the matter has come to a conclusion, everyone will not argue. Although there is little hope, the highest level has already spoken. Then try your best to complete the task.
Seeing that everyone still had doubts, the top executive said with a smile: "I know a little bit about Bao Zixuan of the Black Cloud Group. He will not deliberately embarrass him in this regard. Unlike many businessmen, he does not recognize the dollar that much."
"And so many weapons and equipment must be repaired and maintained by factories. Major domestic factories can fight for it. This is also a way to learn."
"Learning technology needs to start from all aspects, not to follow the situation. No matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat to catch mice. Americans have advanced technology, even second-hand retired equipment is stronger than ours. This is an indisputable fact, but Don't underestimate the Black Cloud Group and Bao Zixuan."
"He dares to buy American retired equipment, there must be a way to improve it! I have seen this kid several times, although he is young, he has a lot of ideas in his heart; he never fights unprepared battles."
After hearing the analysis from the highest level, everyone had a new idea. It is true that Heiyun Group can transport weapons and equipment to Huaxia for maintenance and maintenance. In this way, not only can you earn a part of the money, but you can also learn the technology.
The person in charge of the ordnance department said: "The plan is very feasible. Heiyun Group does have a lot of advanced technologies to improve weapons and equipment. Although it has had a certain impact on Huaxia, our technicians are also convinced. We can take advantage of this opportunity. , steal some advanced experience and technology."
Heiyun Group's modification of Soviet tanks and armored vehicles made the Iraqi side give up negotiations with Huaxia. According to the historical trajectory, these orders originally belonged to the Huaxia Arsenal. It's just that Heiyun Group's products have better performance and better prices.
Now that we have the opportunity to work and study together, the person in charge of Huaxia Weapons certainly does not want to let it go. Skills are not as scary as human beings. If you don't even have the courage to learn and face them, that's the tragedy of the country and the nation.
Heiyun Group has a lot of investments in mainland China and has close relations. Although Bao Zixuan was still in the United States at this time, there was no problem in getting in touch.
So the Shanghai side took on this important task, and the Kyoto side will send a special person to negotiate.
The Black Cloud Group owns an automobile factory in Shanghai, and if it needs to improve the retired weapons and equipment in the United States. It must be Shanghai with the best industrial base, and other places are still worse, including the deep sea.
Bao Zixuan, who was in the United States, heard that China wanted to discuss weapons and equipment with him. He readily agreed and asked Huo Jianning to take charge of the matter.
Although Huo Jianning is not a technician, he is Chinese after all. When it comes to weapons and equipment, it is better for your own people to rest assured, and this is true for both parties.
