C613 Do You Want the Monkey Version
Armored soldiers only needed tanks and armored vehicles? Of course not.
Tanks were the main weapons, armored vehicles were used to transport the accompanying infantry, but before they fought, they still needed a large number of reconnaissance vehicles to scout ahead.
These reconnaissance vehicles used to be equipped with Type 63 armored vehicles. Although the chassis were mobile, their speed was too low and the fuel consumption was high.
If it was this type of vehicle, it would be more or less mobile, but the speed would be much faster and the efficiency of the investigation would be even higher.
"It's the northern brave warrior off-road vehicle produced by our Northern Industrial Group." Qin Guan said, "It's still in the experimental stage. It can be used to replace the 212. As the next generation's 0.5 tons military vehicle series product, it can also be used to change its shape. "
Hearing Qin Guan's words, one of the leaders immediately said, It can be used to replace the ___. It can also be used as the next generation's 0.5 tons military vehicle series product. "Our Second Chance Department doesn't have this project."
If the army wanted to equip a new generation of off-road vehicles, they would need the approval of their superiors at the very least. They would need to follow the procedures step by step.
Qin Guan smiled. "Yes, this is a project that we developed ourselves."
In the beginning, the Hummer cars that Qin Guan exchanged for were left to a factory in the capital. They were asked to map and imitate the production, but after that, there was nothing else.
At that time, Qin Guan had thought that they had been dragging things out, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. If they followed the military's procedure, they would definitely have to delay for a long time.
The military will first carry out the project. Our current 0.5 ton off-road vehicle. It's time to be eliminated. We need to develop the next generation of off-road vehicles. And then... His superior would hold a meeting to discuss, and then he would study it step by step until the project was passed down. When the funding was allocated, it would definitely take a lot of time.
Especially now that the country's economy had changed, the funding allocated to the army was getting lesser and lesser. The army also had a key project like a tank. It was unknown whether this off-road vehicle would have the ability to develop or not.
Therefore, Qin Guan did not rely on the army at all. This was just a self-developed project.
"Then aren't you afraid that after the research is done, the army will not have orders, and then you will spend a lot of manpower and resources for nothing?" This leader was very strange.
"Of course not, the market economy is like this" Qin Guan said, "As long as the quality of our products is high, we will definitely be able to gain the favor of users. This way, even if the army is not equipped, we can still export it to the outside world. Our heavy truck in the north has already been exported to Coconut Jujube Country. As for our current military off-road vehicle, we also have the confidence to export it. "
When Qin Guan said this, someone immediately frowned.
Something was not right. These people seemed to have something on their minds. Logically speaking, they should not wait and raise their own funds. Once the research and development were completed, everyone should be happy.
What was going on?
It was so strange.
"We are very interested. I really hope our master can equip this kind of off-road vehicle." Colonel Luo did not have so many thoughts. He clearly expressed his opinion. He knew it when he saw the car coming over. It was much better than his own 212.
"Our tank is going to be fixed?" Qin Guan looked over. At this time, those few 79 tanks were very powerful and domineering.
The cannon barrel was raised high, 120 mm caliber. Its power was also heaven defying. Although it was not as big as 125 mm, it was fully loaded with artillery shells. It had more potential in armor penetration. The body of the vehicle and the turret were almost all copies of the Leopard-2.
Han Country had already ordered a batch of Leopard-2 in small quantities. After the army used them, they were full of praise.
"That's right, President Qin, with the help of North Heavy Truck Factory... After solving the problem of the engine and hydraulic transmission system, the power system is stable. Therefore, this tank can be fixed. " Elder Zhu said to Qin Guan.
"It will be fine as long as it is fixed." Qin Guan said, "When this tank is set, we can give the Tank Force equipment. It can also be exported. The people of Coconut Jujube Country have been waiting for this for a long time. Our army might not have many orders. But relying on Coconut Jujube Country... We can definitely feed our Factory 6617. "
When Qin Guan said this, even Elder Zhu had a strange expression on his face.
Qin Guan finally couldn't take it anymore and asked Elder Zhu, "Elder Zhu, is what I said wrong?"
Elder Zhu's face carried a kind of embarrassment. "President Qin, there are some small problems here."
"What problems?" Qin Guan felt strange. What kind of technical problem was it? You should have gone to me long ago. Let's solve it together.
"It's like this." At this moment, the commander of the capital's army, General Cheng, said, "The performance of our tank has exceeded the original Leopard-2. This means that our tank belongs to the most advanced tank in this era. Therefore, the performance of the tank that we export from the outside world... Should we shrink it a bit to avoid exposing the performance of our tanks?"
Qin Guan immediately understood.
General Cheng continued, "For example, we use tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets. When it came to the exit... We'll just use ordinary armor-piercing bullets. We'll use them ourselves. If it's our most advanced Chobham Armour, then the exit... We'll just export the ordinary armor. In any case, they won't be able to tell. This way, we can avoid the leakage of information. "
In the world of weapons exports, Bear Country loved doing this. For example, the T-72 given to the Coconut Jujube Country by the exit is much smaller than the version for self-use. The armor-piercing bullet's performance was not good enough, so it could not penetrate the enemy's armor. The defense was not strong enough. Between the two layers of armor, there was actually sand.
Then, what was the result of doing this?
On the battlefield, a single strike was enough to destroy the reputation of the Bear Country's weapons. As a result, after seeing the performance on the battlefield, the Bear Country's weapons could no longer be exported. No one was willing to buy the monkey version of the T-72.
The Bear Country was forced into a corner. They only needed to upgrade it briefly, then change the name of the T-72 to T-90. Then, they continued to scam others, and actually successfully sold a few hundred of them to the Elephant Country.
Then, the consequences were so severe, why did they still sell the monkey version?
The reason was also very simple. It was to keep it a secret.
How strong was the defense of their own tanks, and how strong their armor penetration was? All of this was a secret, even if it was a Chobham Armour. In the future, this meant that its defensive power was not bad, but just how strong was its defensive power? This was something that no one knew. The information in those magazines... They were all just deductions.
Only they themselves knew the actual data.
However, if they were to use it for themselves, they wouldn't be able to keep it a secret.
Then, how to weigh all of this was quite important. As long as the exit was used in other countries, there would be the risk of leaking the secret. It would be a great threat to their Armored Force, especially now. In a situation where a border war could break out at any time.
