"Plus missiles, how much is the total cost?" Long Yaohua took a deep breath to calm himself down and asked.

"It depends on what type of missile it is, whether it is an avant-garde air defense missile or an unformed anti-tank missile, or a man-to-man ground-attack missile that we have not yet successfully studied, but on average, it costs 100,000 rounds. 20 missiles, it will cost 2 million, and the total price will be about 5 million soft sister coins. Wang Guilin counted with his fingers.

There's a lot of moisture in there.

Obviously, it was for Long Yaohua.

The domestic army can't afford it, and in order to continue to develop and develop more advanced, it must first recover the cost, right?

It is not a financial allocation from the higher level to pay for scientific research.

When Long Yaohua heard this, his face suddenly became even more bitter.

Get!

It is also an advanced equipment that the military cannot afford and cannot use.

Just because the military can't afford it, you can't stop such development. The possibility of war breaking out is getting smaller and smaller, but it is impossible not to prepare for a possible war.

Forgetting the war will be dangerous.

"Chief, now the cost of such a missile tank is really high. However, when the technology matures and the R&D funds are diluted, the cost will be reduced a lot......" Xie Kai was afraid that Long Yaohua would be angry and prevent the export of such equipment. "Now that there is demand in the international market, how good it is for us to use foreign funds to develop our own advanced weapons technology and enhance our national defense strength. ”

Long Yaohua looked at Xie Kai with complicated thoughts.

These projects of 404, absolutely deliberate.

All technologies are integrated in the country and have not yet made a breakthrough, as a result, the domestic troops have no equipment and are sold abroad for use first.

It's not good for national defense, but it has to be.

This is a reluctant compromise in order to quickly catch up with the international level when the economic foundation is too poor.

"But this also exposes the true level of our national defense. Long Yaohua sighed.

"Don't worry, chief, no. Even during the war years, it was difficult. Let's sing an empty city plan. For a long time, the best weapons and equipment in China, even if they lag behind the international market, will still not be exported, and good things are hidden. Who would have thought that we would export the most advanced technology......?

It's an empty city indeed.

What 404 does is diametrically opposed to what has always been the habit in China.

Especially now, in an office of the Pentagon, a group of school officers and generals are sitting in a precarious position, listening to a report from Africa that is related to China on the other side of the Pacific.

“...... According to the information of mercenaries who participated in the war in Burundi, there are new tank armor-piercing shells, which are too tightly defended by those mercenaries to obtain samples, and there is a new anti-aircraft missile, which can attack tanks from the top after launch......" The head of the CIA Africa gave a detailed description of the situation. "According to intelligence, this is a new armor-piercing missile and anti-tank missile from China......"

A major general interrupted the report with a frown, "Lieutenant Colonel Oster, the new armor-piercing bullets and anti-tank missiles Chinese not worth our attention, we should focus more on the new weapons and equipment of the Soviet Union, will it pose a threat to the new tanks we have just equipped our troops......"

"Yes, China's foundation is weak, even if it develops new anti-tank missiles and armor-piercing shells, it will not be able to break the M1 frontal HEAT (hollow charge armor-piercing projectile) to reach 700~800 mm RHA (rolling homogeneous steel armor), and AP (armor-piercing projectile) can also reach 350~400 mm RHA...... "Chinese armor-piercing bullets and anti-tank missiles cannot pose a threat to our tanks at all." ”

Note that the Chinese anti-tank missiles are all attacking the top of the tank. This is the weakest point of all tanks' armor!" Lieutenant Colonel Oster emphasized.

Attack the top of the tank!

Everyone has to pay attention.

"This is impossible, right? The missile adopts the top-attack mode, and it has extremely high requirements for guidance technology and internal data processing technology. It's not that our domestic R&D team hasn't considered this issue...... "Miffel is still a little unconvinced.

In this regard, he belongs to the level of military adviser.

He instinctively looked down on armor and anti-armor weapons from China.

The three generations of tanks in the world have already been installed, and the research of China's second-generation tanks has just begun, and it is still the technology imported from the United Kingdom.

"That's just the way it is. It is very likely that China's missiles will not have enough armor-piercing capabilities, which is why such an attack mode is adopted. Another colonel said, "Theoretically, this kind of missile is still possible, our current technical reserves are a little reluctant, and the other side is still a portable individual launch system!"

"In any case, China has exposed its hidden cards this time, and our Ministry of Defense must come up with a way to deal with it. I think the M1 needs to be upgraded to further strengthen the armor defenses, with a focus on the top armor......" Miffel finally recognized the facts.

His opinion, no one objected.

But some people looked distressed.

"The price of one has already reached $8.5 million! If we make further improvements, this price will make the Department of Defense crazy! Taxpayers' money cannot be spent like this. "Some people questioned it.

"Major General Brian, this is all a matter for the Ministry of Defense to consider. We only assess the threat posed by Chinese anti-tank missiles and armor-piercing shells to our new tanks. Miffel said. "At least, our tanks are much cheaper than the Leclerc main battle tanks that the French are working on. Their tanks do not have the huge purchase quantity of the M1 to dilute the cost of research and development. ”

How much does a tank cost, that should be a headache for the Ministry of Finance.

Even the Ministry of Defense does not take these into account.

Only national defense security is considered.

What's more, although American tanks are expensive, the performance is there.

The M1 is not a little better than the M60A3 Patton tank.

The French tank, the prototype has not been produced, has consumed a huge amount of research and development funds, preliminary estimates, according to French demand and possible orders, how can not reach the M1, the US Department of Defense to purchase thousands of units.

"China's 359 tanks, according to the assessment of the Middle East Bureau, already pose a threat to the M1 with attack power, and with new armor-piercing shells, the threat is even greater...... It is impossible for the Chinese not to sell these armor-piercing shells. We can't stop it!" After looking around, Miffel stared at Major General Leinster, who had not spoken at the beginning, and spoke.

The assessment report will be presented to the Ministry of Defense by General Leinster.

"Can't go on. On the one hand, we need to improve the performance of our main battle tanks against these new threats, and on the other hand, we need to find ways to stop their development...... It is best to find a way to understand the real performance level of China's armor-piercing missiles and anti-tank missiles. According to the habit of the Chinese, the best things are kept for their own use, and they are hidden, and they will not be sold at all. Major General Leinster said.

China has always used good things as a killer weapon by hiding good things at the bottom of the box.

The 359 tank was taken out, the ground red flag was taken out, and even a man-portable missile that was suddenly thrown on the international market now made the US strategic analysis department not calm.

For a long time, in the eyes of everyone, poor and backward China, how could there be such a big improvement in weapons and equipment?

Xie Kai did not know about the doubts of the United States.

The biggest concern now is that the above will not agree to their sale of these newly developed weapons and equipment.

Any one of them is the top thing in China.

"By the way, the USSR took a keen interest in our new tank gun steel. proposed that technical cooperation could be carried out...... "Long Yaohua did not express support or opposition. "Interest in our composite armor was also expressed, which was rejected. ”

While waiting for Mu Yang to convey the final decision of China CITIC Bank, he asked Zheng Yucheng and others.

"Are they going to buy our technology?" Zheng Yucheng suddenly came to his senses.

Long Yaohua's words convey an attitude from above.

The above opposes cooperation with the Soviets in armor, and the development of new artillery steel, which seems to be possible?

"Technology for technology," Long Yaohua said, "haven't you always cooperated with the Soviet Union? The last batch ......of aero engines is about to be delivered, right?"

As soon as he said this, the faces of everyone in 404 turned embarrassed.

200 RD-33 engines, which is currently the most criticized for the entire 404.

Until now, these engines have been idle because the Super Seven project has not received overseas orders.

The Air Force was not interested in the Super Seven, and although Pakistan, which had jointly developed the F-16, expressed its acceptance of the new plan despite the delay in the delivery of follow-up orders for the F-16 in the United States and the national defense pressure caused by the export of MiG-29 fighters from the Soviet Union, and even talked about it several times, the detailed contract was not signed, and the money had not yet entered the pocket of the 404.

There are uncertainties in everything.

"Chief, we have contact with the Soviets, only the engine. Zheng Yucheng said embarrassedly.

Xie Kai lowered his head to the side and didn't dare to speak.

He was not sure about Pakistan's attitude.

I never found an opportunity to come into contact with the Egyptians.

What's more, the super-7 high-altitude education aircraft is still undergoing ground tests and has not yet made its first flight.

"But people on the Soviet side said that if you want to talk about the introduction of the Su-27, you need to participate. Long Yaohua's words were light, but they startled everyone in 404.

The Soviets are this pit them?

At the beginning of the negotiations, it was a delegation sent by the Air Force!

"Chief, we don't know anything about this. Zheng Yucheng hurriedly explained.

404 has a history of cutting off the business of other units, and when it started, it was the cooperation between 617 and Pakistan.

At present, almost all of the large-scale arms exports in China are brought by 404, and many contracts for the export of Qiang-5, Jian-7 and 59 are participated in by 404, and the equipment is allocated by 404 to the production units.

There must be someone from the higher authorities who are dissatisfied with this, and Zheng Yucheng naturally can't help but explain.

"Chief, the cooperation of the Soviets, I think the superiors still have to be responsible for communication and coordination, and we will implement it after we have negotiated it. Wang Guilin opened his mouth and changed the topic.

They couldn't figure out Long Yaohua's purpose.

The export of the Su-27 of the Soviets has nothing to do with 404.

This is absolutely the conscience of heaven and earth.

Xie Kai didn't dare to say that he had done a lot of work with his mother when he was a father, after all, many of his father's relationships were in the Soviet aviation department.

"We'll talk about that later. Long Yaohua no longer mentioned the matter of the Soviet Union, "Regarding the export of weapons developed by you, I will try my best to help fight for it." It's almost impossible to get support. ”

"As long as you don't object. Zheng Yucheng said with a smile.

All kinds of advanced weapons and equipment, the superiors will definitely not be willing to sell them, right?

Just turn a blind eye.

"I hope you will think more about national defense and security when you export. National defense and security are more important than Mount Tai. ”

"Understand, the chief can rest assured that in the future, there will be huge benefits on the African side, and the funding problem will be solved, and this will definitely not be the case again. Zheng Yucheng assured, "This is all a helpless move, isn't it? With the development of the economy, our troops have money, how good it would be to provide it directly to the troops!"

The 359 tank is just an integrated test of domestic third-generation tank technology.

The one-armed boss's tank team has the 359 tank as the experimental platform, and after bearing part of the research and development funds, the funds can be transferred to further improve the performance, until now, the overall design plan has not been completely finalized, just waiting for the 359 tank more detailed combat data.

Otherwise, how could the superiors agree to the export of 359 tanks in such large quantities?

Even, as Xie Kai said, let foreign countries not understand the true level of China's military industry.

The art of war has clouds, the virtual is real, and the real is virtual.

Let the foreign intelligence services have a headache.

"Regarding the project on the African side, there are several points that must be emphasized, we must not go against our country's foreign policy, and we must not interfere in the internal affairs ......of other countries," Long Yaohua solemnly admonished Zheng Yucheng and others.

The mercenaries over there know everything.

So far, he has not done anything illegal and has had a bad impact on the country's reputation.

"Please rest assured, chief!" Zheng Yucheng patted his chest and assured, "Our investment in Africa is a completely win-win situation." We help them develop their economies and share the dividends of their economic development......"

Long Yaohua is expressing his personal approval of Burundi's investment plan.

As long as he agrees, he will help persuade other leaders from above.

"By the way, Xie Kai performed well in the Shanghai market before. Pulled out the foreign spy ...... "Long Yaohua saw that Xie Kai was hiding on the side this time and kept silent, he couldn't guess what bad this kid was holding back in his heart, and pointed the finger at Xie Kai. "Courage is commendable, but methods are not advisable. ”

"Please rest assured, I promise to study honestly and make progress every day in the future!" Xie Kai was speechless, but he couldn't help but say.

Long Yaohua stared at him, his face full of disbelief.

Xie Kai, this kid, has never been honest.

This mess was all made by Xie Kai.

But in the future, Xie Kai will go to school in the capital, and under the noses of the leaders, there will be no moths, right?

"Chief, the ...... over there in CITIC," Wang Guilin asked, "the matter must be settled." We have already started to contact our brother units that are interested in developing in Africa, and even the production of construction machinery has already begun to arrange production plans......"
