"The tank engine is not working, check the various systems inside, don't you have to let the tank power system run first?" Xie Kai asked puzzled.

"Just turned off. Liang Qiang explained.

"Smack!" The hatch on the top of the tank was opened, and a familiar, wrinkled face of Xie Kai emerged from inside the tank.

It was actually Wang Xingqiao, the father of fire control.

"Mr. Wang, why did you go inside yourself?" Xie Kai asked with a smile.

Wang Xingqiao saw Xie Kai, "It's not a little problem with the connection to the computer system inside, I was still discussing it with Mr. Zhang just now." ”

The old man got out of the inside of the tank, and followed Zhang Deming out as well.

"Hey, why are you here?" Zhang Deming was surprised when he saw Xie Kai coming, "Have you gone crazy?"

"Who do you always hear bad things about me? I'm going crazy, this base has to be bombed! Who is so excessive? How dare you bury me like this!" Xie Kai was a little embarrassed.

People who estimate several projects in the base know about his situation some time ago.

You don't need to ask anyone about this.

"For the time being, there is no problem, and the experiment can be carried out according to the original experimental plan in two days. Only after testing can you know the specifics. Zhang Deming said.

"How many prototypes? Without a birth permit, they won't agree to our production. Customers are also staring at this thing!" Xie Kai said with some concern.

Whether it is a tank or an armored vehicle, or other weapons and equipment developed by the base, it must go through a number of domestic test sites, and conduct various tests in various extremely harsh climatic environments and various road conditions.

Only if the test is fully passed, will it be finalized for production.

404's own testing ground, the results of the test, there is no possibility of recognition.

The Iraqis are not going to just receive a batch of unshaped products, but they will use them on the battlefield when they get them.

"There are two more prototypes that are about to enter the assembly phase. As long as there is no problem in our own experiments, and there is no difference between the various test data and the original design, we can go to other test sites to conduct various extreme environment tests. It's already June, and as long as the prototype is fine, it can be tested in a high-temperature environment first...... "Zhang Deming has no worries about Xie Kai.

In fact, they are relaxed because even if the country is not finalized, Pakistan will continue, and even they will seek more buyers.

The stereotype test in Pakistan is much simpler than in China.

Even if the country is not finalized, isn't there still an order for hundreds of Iraqi vehicles?

"No, it must be tested domestically, otherwise we will not be able to win the order from the Iraqi side. Wang Guilin shook his head and told Zhang Deming, "We signed a contract of intent, not a procurement contract." ”

Intent Contracts......

Xie Kai really didn't expect that there would be no big breakthrough in the negotiations between the base management committee and Iraq.

Intent contracts don't mean anything at all.

If one party does not agree, the contract is over.

Not to mention that there is not a penny of advance payments for the base.

"No problem, tomorrow we will be on our side to do all kinds of tests of the prototype and see the results. Based on the data available so far, I don't think it's a problem......" Zhang Deming said confidently.

Anyway, he didn't think there was a problem with the tank.

"What about the head of the Pakistanis, why aren't they here?" Xie Kai was a little curious.

"The management committee is. Wang Guilin said with a smile, "For the technical achievements." ”

"The geese haven't been beaten down, so let's start discussing how to eat them now?" Xie Kai didn't expect that the Pakistanis still spared no effort in this.

I thought that only the personnel of the base would think like that.

Are you not afraid of affecting the contract between the two parties?

Zhang Deming looked at Xie Kai and shook his head, "Now that the prototype has been completed, it can be said that the wild geese have fallen." Naturally, they want to divide the meat, and they can't just gnaw on the bones. ”

"This tank will start field testing tomorrow?" Xie Kai asked.

Zhang Deming and the others nodded.

Xie Kai has a number in his heart, basically, as long as the prototype does not have problems, it can be put into small batch production.

I just don't know if the Iraqis will have higher requirements for the prototype.

"Tomorrow's test, will we ask Pakistan to join the Iraqis?" Xie Kai turned his head and asked Wang Guilin.

Wang Guilin shook his head, "After the test is completed and there are no problems, I will invite them to watch." Otherwise, it will affect the contract between the two parties. ”

The concerns of the base management committee are not unfounded.

The two left the workshop, and a group of technical leaders did not follow, but continued to stay in the assembly workshop.

Even if you know that there is no problem, you still need to further check to ensure that there will be no major failures in the field test process, although the use of mature technology, but these technologies are domestic cutting-edge, and there is not much application experience.

Wang Guilin took Xie Kai into the office, and Zheng Yucheng and the others had surprise on their faces, but they didn't say anything.

Xie Kai did not set foot in the base headquarters building for more than a month.

Opposite them, it was obviously Pakistani dress, and Xie Kai saw that it was actually an old acquaintance - Musharraf!

"Could it be that this product has offended people in China? Otherwise, how could he be the person in charge here? This is clearly exiled and marginalized. Xie Kai looked at Musharraf with a smile on his face, and his heart was full of slander.

Historically, he had never heard of Musharraf spending so long in China.

It stands to reason that this thing is now either commanding their armored forces, or in the artillery units!

"Lieutenant Colonel ......" Xie Kai was about to speak, but was told by Zheng Yucheng, "Mr. Musharraf is now a colonel. ”

Promotions are fast enough.

"Colonel, the progress of the 359 tank is gratifying at the moment, I don't know what else makes you so worried. Although Xie Kai knew why the other party was, he had a smile on his face.

Musharraf looked at Shekai's smile that couldn't be faker, and he couldn't wait to slap it over.

It was this kid who cheated them and signed the contract.

Five million dollars were given, and it didn't take long for the prototype to come out.

The technicians who Pakistan arranged to study here did not learn anything at all, and even the Chinese side did not come into contact with how to set up projects, how to demonstrate, and how to start studying various technologies.

$50 million is equivalent to buying the assembly technology of the Chinese.

Can you not be angry?

"Xie Kai, most of the terms of the original contract were proposed by you, and now the project is successful, but it is not implemented in accordance with the terms of the contract...... Musharraf said to Xie Kai with a cold face.

He even regretted why he didn't try his best to stop the tank cooperation project with the Chinese side in the first place.

"Success, now is just the beginning!" Xie Kai said seriously, "Although the prototype is produced, it is uncertain whether it will meet the design performance indicators." You said we broke the contract because you invested 50 million dollars, and now Iraq has signed a contract of intent with us for hundreds of vehicles, and you don't get a share of the profits, right?"

Musharraf did not speak, and the expression on his face was clearly in approval of Shekai's statement.

The same is true for other Pakistanis, and it is only natural that you should give us a share of the profits.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please think about what kind of international cooperation projects, and the profits will be shared by both sides. Fifty million dollars from you, the contract is very clear, this is the threshold fee for the use of technology for the production of 359 tanks in your country...... Even, we have given some important core basic technologies...... According to the terms of the contract, the technology belongs to both of us, the equipment we use is produced by us, and the profit from your sale also belongs to you......" Xie Kai knew that Zheng Yucheng would definitely not say this.

As long as the 359 tank has superior performance, the domestic armored forces will definitely adopt it.

It is simply unreasonable to have to pay a fee to another country for the use of technology that has been researched in one's own country if it wants to be produced.

"That's not what you said before! Shouldn't it be like this when technology is shared?" Musharraf said with a gloomy face.

Zheng Yucheng and others all felt that Xie Kai was too cheap.

In the previous contract, there was only a clause on joint ownership of technology, and Xie Kai now explains it this way, and there is nothing wrong with it.

At best, it is a misunderstanding on the part of Pakistan.

But no matter how you think about it, it feels a bit excessive.

It's too shameless.

"Colonel, the technology is shared by both sides, that's right!" Xie Kai said calmly, "Let's think differently, if it is your country, most of the technology is ready-made, and there are other countries that invest in the project when it is about to be completed...... If your own equipment has to pay a technical fee to another country, do you think that our cooperation will be approved? I think you also have this in mind when signing the contract!" said Shekai Musharraf had nothing to say.

They also know that it is impossible for the Chinese to share the profits.

They even know that their domestic production in Pakistan is subject to the Chinese side.

The purpose of putting this forward is to obtain concessions from the Chinese side.

"Colonel, I know what you think. From the very beginning, we have proposed that cooperation is for a win-win situation. When your country's tank production line is established, your country's orders can be produced by your tank production line, which not only cultivates a technical industry team and accumulates experience, but also reduces costs...... If our orders cannot be completed, priority will be given to the production plants of your country...... "Shekai knows what status Musharraf will have in the future.

I can't offend this product.

Otherwise, it will affect the long-term interests in the future.

Musharraf will not be in control of Pakistan for a short time, and if all their newly purchased equipment is taken down by 404, it will be a real fortune.

With the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet army, Pakistan's Mirage III and J-6 could not cope with the MiG-23, MiG-25 and other fighters equipped by the Soviet army, so they got F-16 fighters from the United States.

However, when the war in Afghanistan ends and the honeymoon period between China and Pakistan ends, the huge fighter contract will not be delivered until it enters the 21st century for a long time.
