In the eighties, the United States had entered a honeymoon period.

In the past few years, it is not a new thing to go to the United States to inspect the military industry, but in terms of tanks, there has been no action yet, Qin Zhenhua has long been paying attention to it, and now, hearing He Lao say this, Qin Zhenhua hurriedly spoke: "There is this opportunity, of course we have to see, He Lao, why did the Qing Dynasty die, and it is not closed to the country?" If we don't examine the world's advanced level of tanks, how can we broaden our horizons? It's not easy to overtake in corners, so let's take a look. As long as we have the ability to discern, isn't it? ”

I have been to Europe several times, and the tanks in Europe can be regarded as almost seen, but the American tanks have not been studied.

They took different paths, when the Americans and Germans jointly researched tanks, it finally proved that joint research and development is unreliable, their respective needs are different, their own concepts are different, not all the way, can not go together, strong melon is not sweet.

Therefore, if they are separated, they will take different paths.

The power of the gas turbine is indeed very powerful, the start is fast, and the load capacity is strong, no matter how you play, you can't turn off the engine, there are many benefits, but there are also many disadvantages, when Qin Zhenhua put forward the problem of high fuel consumption, sure enough, He Lao gave up this idea.

I can't afford it.

I can't afford it at home, but the Americans don't care, they have a lot of money.

The M1 tank can be regarded as a benchmark tank in the United States, and if there is a chance, Qin Zhenhua certainly wants to see the American tank.

"You want to go?" He Lao asked.

"For the development of our domestic tank industry, the more foreign tanks are referenced, the more beneficial it is." Qin Zhenhua said: "I..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Lao there with a smile, and immediately reacted, this He Lao was obviously smiling at himself! There is such an opportunity to inspect American tanks, will He Lao let it go?

"We don't care." Qin Zhenhua said: "If we don't go, we will also save foreign exchange for the country." However, if you go, we will have a machine factory, and there will be a few places for everything. When the time comes, if a machine factory behind our back organizes an activity to inspect tanks abroad, then don't blame me for going to the capital to make trouble. ”

"Haha, Lao Zhu, did you see it?" He Lao smiled and said, "Zhenhua, it's really this temper. Lao Zhao, your title of cannon should have been put on Zhenhua's head a long time ago. ”

Zhao Guodong, who had not spoken there all this time, could only smile helplessly now.

"Okay, let's get down to business, we're here today, and our harvest is still good." He Lao said: "In terms of tank guns, we have determined the caliber of 125 mm, and in terms of engines, we no longer have any doubts, or mainly diesel engines, mainly Panther engines, as for the tank body... The 1226 tank I saw today is still satisfactory as a whole, but since it is to be carried out, it must have a high enough standard. ”

Hearing He Lao say this, Qin Zhenhua can be regarded as understanding, this time, He Lao came to a machine factory, there are still a lot of tasks, and now he is talking about it, it has reached the technical standard of the third generation of tanks.

It seems that the research and development of the third generation of tanks is already on the agenda.

"That's right, we're going to engage in a fifty-ton tank, and the 1226 tank is a good reference, but we can't rely on it completely, we also need to redesign and calculate, we have to go our own way." Zhu Lao said: "This time I will go back and start working, and the next time I make a formal report, it is estimated that we will make a model out." ”

In fact, the domestic tank research and development has not really gone through a complete process.

The 122 tank started very early, it took a long time, and now it has just achieved results, the third generation of tanks, it is necessary to start from scratch, little by little, in the initial design process, first build a model, show it to the big guys. It also brings something practical to the start of the project.

Qin Zhenhua's heart was also inexplicably excited, three generations of tanks! Fifty tons, these things that I proposed have been adopted, and now I really have some expectations.

The meeting was held for an afternoon, and when the meeting ended, He Lao remembered something again, and said: "A machine factory also set up an automobile branch, last year was also vigorous, 10,000 tons of forging press appeared in newspapers and news for many days, Zhenhua, you a machine factory, is really determined to reform." ”

"However, I heard that the cooperation with Mercedes-Benz has not been negotiated, and you have a car branch, but you can't do it without products." Staff Officer Wang said there, at this time, I don't know what kind of psychology it is.

"Yes, this is a big problem, it's already cold at night, if you have time, how about taking you to the automobile branch tomorrow? We have a surprise for you too. Qin Zhenhua said.

"What's cold, with a blowtorch." He Lao said: "As long as there is a stuffy donkey, we are not afraid of the cold, let's go, and we will go after dinner." ”

I heard that there are surprises there, and He Lao can't wait for tomorrow, and He Lao's original plan was to stay in a machine factory for a day.

So, in the middle of the night, after dinner, the group came to the automobile branch.

This was completely built by the first machine factory with its own funds, so although the first machine factory made a lot of money by exporting, the financial situation of the first machine factory was not good, and there were even high bank loans.

However, if you want to develop and turn the military into a civilian person, you must take this risk, and Qin Zhenhua's foresight will be proved in the future.

A machine factory is hoisting Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks, which everyone knows is inconvenient to say, the last time Mercedes-Benz people took the initiative to come, is an example, however, the last time the other party offered too high, the two sides could not negotiate.

A machine factory is still continuing to invest, and now, I heard that there is a surprise, He Lao is full of interest along the way.

"The automobile factory is the one that makes cars, have you completed the mapping and imitation of Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks? Iron Horse Factory, I guess it will be unhappy. However, as long as it can reach the level of Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks, how much you produce, our army can want. ”

The army operates a number of Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks, full of praise, in the case of previous negotiations without results, the Iron Horse Factory decided to map and copy Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks.

And now, a machine factory is also building an automobile branch, and it is also negotiating with Mercedes-Benz, so what He Lao can think of is that they are surveying and mapping imitation Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks, and the quality of a machine factory is still reassuring.

If there is no civilian use, the gap in the army is not small!

"It's not." Qin Zhenhua said: "Everyone will know when they go in and see." ”
