In such a situation, his ability is indeed not enough. ”

Xie Jianguo didn't expect that Xie Kai would come up with so many solutions.

None of them is easy to do.

What's more, in order to solve the problems that the base is currently experiencing, it is necessary to do everything.

Once the reform has just begun, the entire base management committee and all the current project R&D teams are on the opposite side, and Xie Kai can't bear that kind of pressure.

"It's true that it requires communication with too many units, and it will offend too many people. Zheng Yucheng was not tactful at all, "We will solve this situation caused by us." ”

"I've already said the specific plan. Moreover, the introduction of a supervision mechanism for the base will not easily cause such problems in the future. However, ladies and gentlemen, 404's project autonomy and self-financing are still needed. The supervising agency cannot interfere in the management of the base...... Xie Kai is worried that too many constraints will be introduced in the end, which will affect the development of the base at that time.

Long Yaohua also knows that without supervision, the chaos of 404 will become more and more serious, causing irreparable losses, and if supervision is not done well, it will also affect development.

"Didn't you propose that some projects apply for state financial allocation?" Li Mingshan was a little puzzled, "If you apply for financial allocation, you will definitely be included in supervision, and you will no longer have project autonomy." ”

He didn't know what Xie Kai was thinking.

404 doesn't look down on financial allocations, they all know.

Xie Kai wants to introduce supervision, apply for state financial grants, and also want project autonomy.

There is hardly much possibility.

"Chief, some advanced technologies, cutting-edge technologies that the state prohibits exporting, it is better to apply for funding. Xie Kai said.

And all the people looked at him.

Most of the R&D projects of 404 are for export, is Xie Kai so honest?

"The cost price of a 359 tank exported to domestic sales is 20 million!"

This alone made Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan gasp.

Li Mingshan even squinted at Xie Kai, "This is your purpose? 20 million for a tank! Why don't you say 20 million US dollars?"

He was upset.

It's really unpleasant.

404 people, it's too much.

The price of tanks can reach 20 million units, is this to bankrupt the military or do you want to continue this reason to sell the advanced technology and equipment that are prohibited from export?

"Chief, if you look at those three 359 tanks, you can understand why they are so expensive. Which is a third-generation tank in the complete sense, and even the performance of the top international tanks is not much different. Xie Kai saw the shock in their expressions.

Don't say that the military bigwigs have never been equipped with such expensive tanks at all, even Xie Kai, who knows the cost of top tanks, was shocked and speechless after hearing Zhang Deming's report.

Advanced is advanced, but the price is ......

"You should take a break and try to refine the management plan as soon as possible. Long Yaohua felt that the meeting could not continue.

Let's go and see the tanks that have been made.

The main role of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is to organize and manage the national defense science, technology and industrial plans, etc., advanced science and technology are naturally needed, but in this situation, the advanced equipment that has been developed makes Long Yaohua a little painful.

In particular, when several people from the Technical Bureau of the General Staff Department heard this price, their faces kept beating.

Xie Kai led a few people to the armored vehicle test workshop on the edge of the base, and after a few days of testing, the three tanks returned to the production line for overhaul and maintenance.

When Xie Kai entered the workshop with a group of bigwigs, Zhang Deming held a drawing in his hand and said something to Mr. Zhu beside him, seeing that so many chiefs came over without saying hello, and hurriedly greeted him.

I was still wondering why Zheng Yucheng didn't come.

Mr. Zhu hasn't left yet, which makes Xie Kai unclear about his purpose.

"Nothing special, how can the cost increase so much?" asked a person from the Technical Bureau of the General Staff in confusion.

To the wedge-shaped turret of the 359 tank, these people are no longer amazed.

After all, from its birth to the present, the 359 tank has been used for many years, and it has even been put into real combat on the battlefield in the Middle East, which is no stranger.

The Type 88 tank also uses this type of turret, which looks much more advanced than the original Type 79 hemispherical cast turret.

Without waiting for Zhang Deming to explain, Mr. Zhu took the lead and said with a smile, "The high-cost things of this tank are not visible to the naked eye." You can take a look inside ......"

He was very active in introducing these acquaintances.

The original third-generation tank already had a plan, but at this time, Mr. Zhu changed his mind.

Let's see if the leaders of the troops can accept such an expensive tank.

The budget is more than three times the original budget, and even the original budget has to grit your teeth before making up your mind.

The original instruments and pointers inside have been reduced a lot, and even the switches have become much more comfortable, and there are electronic displays everywhere, and the three large display screens are even more eye-opening for these leaders.

"Armor materials are the latest scientific research. The innermost basic armor is made of high-strength alloy steel, and the outer layer is made of composite armor with ceramic materials and other materials......"

It wasn't until the leaders saw the internal situation that Zhang Deming made a specific introduction.

Most of the people who come are experts, and it's not that they don't understand the techniques.

They didn't expect that such technology could be integrated into a tank so quickly by these crazy guys like 404.

"If I had known this, there would have been no need to cooperate with the Americans in the first place. A colonel said.

Long Yaohua After learning about the specific performance, they did not show the same joyful expression as others, but their mood became heavy.

Even Li Mingshan was not happy.

As the head of the General Logistics Department, Li Mingshan really had a headache.

This time it wasn't that Xie Kai wanted to ask for a sky-high price, after looking at the situation inside, and then understanding the specific technical configuration, as well as measuring the actual domestic production level, he knew that the price of 20 million was really the cost price.

In the workshop, the General Staff and the General Rear showed a strong interest in these tanks.

They don't care about the price at all, but they study the effect that the technology used in this equipment can have on national defense.

As for the cost, let the higher chiefs have a headache.

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan stood beside them, looking at the tanks on the production line with complicated thoughts.

"Chief, this is the consequence of the lack of oversight of the project. Originally, the army put forward performance indicators and also gave the price...... "Xie Kai mentioned the cost of tanks before, not to ask for funds from above, but to make Long Yaohua and them realize what the consequences of scientific research projects are out of supervision, "This situation is not only in tank projects, warship projects, fighter projects, are all ......"

Long Yaohua looked at Xie Kai, "Isn't this what you've been pursuing before?"

"Other units are reducing the amount of money invested in R&D, but it's better for you to come on the contrary, and don't care about the cost at all. Li Mingshan looked melancholy.

Such a tank cannot be equipped.

With the development of the country's economy, the military budget, which has not increased or even decreased in the past few years, has finally risen a little this year, reaching 25 billion.

Military spending has not increased, and the reason why it has increased in such a way is because of inflation and it has to rise!

Of the 25 billion in military spending, 200 million of which is for the purchase of tanks for special operations brigades, is something that has been discussed before.

Another 200 million is to be prepared to purchase a battalion of new tanks for combat tests.

Well, now such a tank suddenly makes the funding gap more than 600 million!

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have invited a few chiefs to come in person. Xie Kai looked at Li Mingshan and was very helpless. "It's the job of a technician to take on a higher level of technical difficulty. Technology can only continue to evolve if it continues to take on challenges. The biggest problem is that there is no regulation. In the technology development units that we work with, there is no such thing, because we have a special team to supervise the use of funds......"

Xie Kai told Long Yaohua about this matter alone, hoping that they would take this matter seriously.

404 At this point, no one can accept the consequences when something goes wrong.

Now the only way to limit the rights of a few directors of the management committee is through the intervention of the superiors, at least in terms of scientific research funding, which can no longer be consumed without supervision.

Technology development has indeed been achieved, but what about the cost?

The military top brass has been prepared from the beginning, and once 404 has made achievements and the funds are insufficient, the military will transfuse 404's scientific research projects to ensure that it continues in the high-tech field.

If the current situation continues to develop, the military's annual funding will not be enough at all.

"There is no problem with regulation. The original policy will not be withdrawn. With so many projects in your base, do you have to dismount some?" asked Li Mingshan.

Zheng Yucheng and their behavior, they said that they didn't know, and obviously no one would believe it.

In the past few years, the country has launched too many top-level military scientific research projects.

If you don't have money, you can't get off the horse.

The 404 pick-up is all projects that some countries do not have extra funds to invest in.

It was impossible for Xie Kai not to know at first.

Although he was opposed to meddling in the naval equipment project at first, he did not stop it in the end, but went to Thailand to plan the aircraft carrier order of the Thai Navy.

To say that Xie Kai did not deliberately promote the transfer of the aircraft carrier project from pre-research work to formal development, no one believes it.

Long Yaohua and the others have experienced countless winds and waves, but they can't analyze what Xie Kai's purpose is this time.

Zheng Yucheng and other management committees are the soul of 404, and they are almost obedient to Xie Kai, Xie Kai is the real soul of the 404 base.

"Honestly, what is the purpose?" Long Yaohua shouldn't have asked this.

But he really wanted to know what Xie Kai's purpose was.

Succession?

If Xie Kai wants to take over, he doesn't even need them to come forward, Zheng Yucheng and they have been planning this all along.
