The words of the white-haired expert seemed to set the direction, or rather tone, of the theme of the conference. When some experts looked at Li Mu, they couldn't help but think that the deputy director was young after all, and it was easy for people to lead the direction of the meeting.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Deputy Director Li is inclined to the X-10 tank in his heart, otherwise he would not have held any on-site meetings.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Li Mu did not express any opinion on the white-haired expert, but glanced at it and said, "Please comrades actively express their opinions." ”

A middle-aged man with glasses coughed and said, "The demonstration of the Red Star Factory is indeed shocking. After the shock, we still have to come back to reality. Which model of tank to choose as a replacement for the main battle tank in service needs to be considered by the troops, but the comprehensive performance. I think that the demonstration of the X-10 tank proved its reliability, and I dare not say that it greatly surpassed the X-11 of the First Machinery Plant in Huaxia, but it definitely won. I don't think anyone will dispute that. ”

He also paused, and then continued, "In terms of overall combat performance, I believe that the X-10 tank wins. My opinion is still a matter of price. The unit price is 30 million, 30 million, not 30 million and 300,000. I don't know how many vehicles the troops will eventually equip with, hehe, this question may be answered only by Deputy Director Li. ”

It turned out that he was an official of the appropriations committee, and what he valued was, of course, money.

He lifted his glasses, glanced around, and said, "Be conservative, according to the equipment of 1,000 vehicles, 30 million is how much, 30 billion, 30 billion, comrades." ”

Needless to say, everyone understands what kind of number this is.

An official of the Equipment R&D and Procurement Committee couldn't help but retort, "You are a theoretical algorithm, after the output goes up, the cost will be greatly reduced, and on average, the unit price of the X-10 will definitely not be 30 million higher than that of the X-11 tank." ”

He is in favor of the X-10 tank, and even if the new top boss is not here, he will say so, sticking to his opinion according to his own analysis.

The official of the appropriations committee smiled and said, "I don't know if you have carefully read the data given by the Red Star Factory. Their unit price is officially based on the mass production of 1,000 units. If the final production is less than this number, the unit price will be higher. ”

1,000 units, this number is almost enough to meet the requirements of the army. The army has a certain rule for the replacement of main battle tanks, and the old and new models have always been in service at the same time, so each replacement is only a part, not all of them.

For example, after the mass production model of 99 came out that year, it was replaced by the Type 88 or Type 96 of the main field forces, and the models eliminated by these troops would be equipped with non-main field forces to replace the older Type 88. In this way, the pattern of high and low matching of 99 and 96 is formed.

However, some mountain troops and jungle troops, due to the limitations of the terrain environment, use light tanks, which are not included. Those troops, the military-industrial complex of our country even developed new light tanks specifically for them.

Therefore, the number of 1,000 units of equipment can even be said to be rich.

Three hundred billion is undoubtedly a number that no one can do, so Han Weihua knows very well that if the cost is not reduced, the X-10 will definitely lose. Today's demonstration is just to win the favor of the new deputy director, and to give X-10 a chance to survive first.

The pre-R&D expenses allocated by the military are simply not enough, and the funds for the two factories are the same, while the Red Star Factory has invested more than a billion R&D funds out of its own pocket, so that the X-10 can come out according to the time requirements.

If it can't get the military's order, the Red Star No. 1 Machinery Factory will lose more than a billion yuan. For the wealthy Red Star Defense Group, more than 100 million yuan is just a drizzle, and the other significance of this order is far more significant than the economic significance, which shows that the main battle tank developed by the Red Star Defense Group has been recognized by the army of the world's largest power.

Even if Han Weihua loses money, he has to win this order, but obviously he can't lose too much, which is related to the interests of the entire Red Star No. 1 Machinery Factory and his personal interests.

Don't forget, even if the price of the X-10 of the Red Star Factory is the same as the current price of the X-11, it may not necessarily win - the first machinery factory in China can also reduce the price, and the profit margin of the company is very sufficient!

Li Mu knocked on the table and said, "Director Han has already told me in person that they will work hard to reduce the cost, and before they give the final offer, let's not consider the price factor for the time being." ”

The official of the appropriations committee smiled, "Deputy Director Li, our appropriations committee only cares about money, and if you don't let us think about money, then we have no other opinions." ”

Li Mu waved his hand carelessly, "Whatever you want." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little stunned, which was too polite. The officials of the appropriations committee looked even more ugly, and they wanted to hold back their when they wanted to say what they couldn't say.

Li Mu glanced at it and said, "I was born in Lao Lu, and I spent most of my time in the army. I think I'm qualified to say that I know very well what kind of tanks the troops want. We are sitting here, shouldering different tasks, and the ultimate goal is to let the troops use a new and cost-effective tank with technical advantages. Everybody agrees on that, right?"

"Naturally. ”

"Of course, Deputy Director Li, that's what we're doing. ”

"So we're going to have to keep a hard grip on the last hurdle. ”

......

Everyone expressed their opinions.

Li Mu almost saw that most of these people supported the old-school military industry represented by Huaxia No. 1 Machinery Factory. This is very understandable, the several generations of tanks used by the army are all developed by the First Machinery Factory in Huaxia, and they have more experience, and the troops have more experience in using their things.

Such an advantage is something that the Red Star No. 1 Machinery Factory can't catch up with.

"I'll say a few words. ”

Li Mu said, "The X-10 is far superior to the X-11 in the three major technical indicators of the main battle tank, in addition to protection, the other two, firepower and mobility." In terms of comprehensive technology leadership, there is a clear era gap between the X-10 and the active main battle tanks, and the X-11 is basically based on the in-depth improvement of the active main battle tanks. ”

"I was born as a commanding officer, and I probably have the most experience in front-line actual combat and front-line actual combat command in our army. When we choose equipment for our troops, we must closely follow the current battlefield environment and combat style. The development of weapons and equipment and combat styles are mutually influential, and in the use of the main battle tanks in service, we have gained experience that it is necessary to strengthen the night combat capability of the main battle tank and the combat capability of urban terrain. ”

"Specifically, in terms of anti-aircraft defense capabilities, both models of tanks are on the same level. However, at night, especially in night urban operations, I carefully looked at the previous test data of the two types of tanks, and after a comprehensive comparison, the X-10 tank can better meet the future operational requirements of the army. ”

Li Mu stopped and glanced at it, and said, "You may all wonder if I have anything to do with the Red Star Factory, and whether the Red Star Factory has taken my way, so I speak for the Red Star Factory." I can tell you that before today, I didn't have any intersection with the Red Star Factory. I still want to emphasize that I hope you can give an evaluation from the comprehensive performance of the two models. Of course, as I said earlier, put the price factor aside for the time being. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they were secretly thinking in their hearts: It is said that there is no favoritism for the Red Star Factory, but your old man is speaking for the Red Star Factory.

Electricity: Last month made the brothers unhappy, these days I have worked hard to save some manuscripts, and after a few days, it will break out, and the brothers will smash the guaranteed monthly pass. In addition, this will be the prelude to the next climax, don't worry, the hunter still has to write. Once again, I advertised the new book "Struggle 1981" in the hope that the brothers would vote for the new book. Plum.
