Chapter 409 The future development of the Military Industry Bureau!

The golden statue has been sculpted and the applause is overwhelming.

This is a moment of honor for Zhuang Qianding and Yu Hua.

After a moment, applause fell in the conference room, and two special checks from the Border Area Bank were handed to the two men.

Yu Hua received a buyout fee for 90% of the electroslag remelting technology and a buyout fee for 105% of the 60mm howitzer technology, which is equivalent to 13.5 and 6 oceans, respectively, for a total of 19.5 oceans. Professor Zhuang received a buyout fee for 10% of the electroslag remelting technology and a buyout fee for 105% of the 40mm howitzer technology, for a total of 5.5 oceans.

After receiving the check, Yu Hua did not have any thoughts. He just sighed slightly about the characteristics of the times. If it were in the 1950s, the organization would not reward so much cash, only honors, high positions and very little cash rewards. But now it is really different.

Spend a fortune to buy bones and attract talents.

Although honor and position have inherent appeal, as the ancients said, money moves people's hearts.

The charm of money can be said to be infinite.

There is no doubt that this astronomical technology buyout fee is an unparalleled encouragement to any technician engaged in scientific research. Once it is spread, it will greatly enhance the research and development enthusiasm of the technical personnel of the Military Industry Bureau.

Professor Zhuang did not refuse or hesitate and accepted the bank check frankly. This money was not important to him personally, after all, the 3 oceans technical fee for the oxygen top-blown converter had already met all his needs. But it was very important to the entire scientific research team, and he had to set an example for the team.

You are in a high position, and if you don't get anything and I don't get anything, how can the students below get anything and make progress?

Do we really have to rely on love to generate electricity?

We took reasonable and legal technology buyout fees to set an example for the student team and let them see the generous rewards with their own eyes. Only in this way can the student team last long.

As Zhuang Qianding and Yu Hua received extremely generous technical rewards, from now on, the electroslag remelting technology and 105mm howitzer technology officially belonged to the base's Military Industry Bureau.

"That's all for the commendation and award. We will hold a small celebration banquet for Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua at the headquarters tonight."

Li Qiang closed the top-secret document, then took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said with a serious and earnest expression: "Next, let's discuss the future development of the Military Industry Bureau. Now, the 105mm howitzer project has been successful, and important weapon nodes have been opened up. According to the goals set in the heavy weapon research and development plan, we will complete the remaining three heavy weapon projects within two years and reach the level of building a comprehensive heavy weapon production system. What I want to ask is, how should we develop in two years?"

People have no worries, they must have long-term worries.

The current overall development trend of the Military Industry Bureau is extremely good. It has surpassed the heavy industry and military industry of the Soviet period in all aspects and reached an unprecedented height. It is not much inferior to Shenbing, which was at its peak during the Northeast Army period. The only difference is the total scale and total output. The technical level and weapons and equipment performance are more advanced.

In the next two years, the Military Industry Bureau will reach the level of "comprehensively building a heavy weapons production system". By then, the title of China's No. 1 Arsenal will be well-deserved.

However, as the Japanese invaders continued to advance and the external environment became increasingly harsh, Li Qiang, the head of the Military Industry Bureau, had to think about future development.

Focus on the present and think about the future.

What will be the future path of the Military Industry Bureau?
The words spread throughout the conference room like flowing water, and everyone listened quietly, lost in thought.

This question is difficult to answer as it is of a strategic nature. We can only think from the perspective of the Military Industry Bureau and from a strategic perspective.

There was a hushed discussion in the conference room. The heads of various departments frowned and took out their People's brand cigarettes to start smoking, using them to think about the problems.

Zhuang Qianding was also thinking about it. On the way to the headquarters, he had talked with Li Qiang about how the Military Industry Bureau should develop, but to no avail.

Yu Hua remained silent on this issue, adhering to the principle of not getting involved in any political issues. As for the question itself, it has its own answer.

"Everyone, don't be shy. This is not a one-man show. Let's gather our ideas and speak freely. We will discuss and perfect the document before submitting it." Li Qiang exhaled a puff of white smoke, his eyes sharp: "Let me first talk about my own ideas. After building a heavy weapons production system, I think we can imitate Soviet tanks."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's bodies shook and they subconsciously straightened up.

"We don't need to pursue advanced tank performance, we only need to surpass the performance of Japanese tanks. Our first generation of tanks will be copied based on mature Soviet tank technology. We will strive to achieve the goal of independently manufacturing tanks within three years, thus providing an equipment foundation for our army to form a tank unit. At the same time, we will conduct independent research and development and design to avoid over-reliance on the Soviet Union."

Copy of Soviet tanks!

Cannons, tanks, planes.

These are three hot topics that can never be avoided in the military industry, and they are also three topics that the military can never avoid.

Li Qiang considered that if the heavy weapons production system was successfully built in two years, it would provide certain technical support for the production of tank vehicles. If he could obtain the Soviet Union's mature tank technology, there would be no problem in carrying out imitation production on this basis.

Moreover, not only imitation, but also independent research and development and design are required to establish an armored weapons industry system of a certain level.

There is no need for the first generation of tanks to pursue advanced performance. Large caliber, heavy weight, or high protection are not necessary. All they need to do is surpass the performance of Japanese tanks.

When everyone heard this, their minds were working quickly to think about the feasibility of copying Soviet tanks. Yu Hua seemed to be thinking about something and turned to look at Zhuang Qianding. The two looked at each other and nodded slightly, expressing their positive attitude towards this idea.

There is great potential in imitating Soviet tanks!

"With the armored forces, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be raised to a higher level. Only in this way can we focus on production and development in the rear," said Li Qiang.

Zhuang Qianding pondered the connection and expressed his opinion: "Director Li, which tank should we choose? In addition, will the Soviet Union give us mature tank technology?"

As the king of land warfare, the importance of tanks is self-evident, but when it comes to practical aspects, it requires some trade-offs.

Which tank should I choose as the target for imitation?
Secondly, will the Soviet Union provide the complete technology of this tank?

"It is not clear which tank to choose yet. I don't know much about tanks. We need to send a delegation to the Soviet Union for inspection." Li Qiang responded: "As for whether the Soviet Union will provide technology... I think there is a chance that it will. After all, the organizational relationship and identity are there. Professor Zhuang, if the Soviet Union refuses to provide tank technology, do we have the ability to develop and produce tanks?"

"This question can be divided into two parts: tank research and development and tank manufacturing. We mainly lack the ability to develop tanks. We lack a complete and mature set of R&D experience and design team. If we want to develop independently, we basically start from scratch."

Zhuang Qianding nodded and gave a professional answer: "As for tank manufacturing, there is no need to worry. We have the manufacturing capabilities for the gun, engine, and body. The gun uses a 40mm anti-aircraft gun as the main gun, the engine uses a 300-horsepower diesel engine, and the body suspension uses a mature design in the world. The development cycle of the entire independent research and development design is about five years."

At the tank research and development level, the base capacity is zero.

In terms of tank manufacturing, the base's capabilities are acceptable.

It will take at least five years to independently develop and produce tanks.

"I understand. Let's record the idea of ​​replicating the tank first. Comrade Lu Yuan, you are the head of the General Affairs Section and are in charge of the routine affairs of the bureau. Please tell me about your ideas for future development." Li Qiang nodded after hearing this, thought carefully, then looked at Lu Yuan and said.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and said in a serious tone: "My idea is to maintain the status quo and consolidate the foundation."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lu Yuan.

Ok?
Yu Hua didn't expect that Lu Yuan's ideas coincided with his own. He became a little alert and waited for him to elaborate.

"I subjectively believe that we will not be able to focus on production and development as the external situation deteriorates. There are two main reasons for this conclusion. First, I am personally pessimistic about the situation in Shanxi. The Japanese army relies on the Tongpu Line to obtain logistical supplies continuously. It is only a matter of time before they break through the Xinkou defense line and take Taiyuan. The earliest is one month, and the latest is no more than three months. If Taiyuan falls, all cities along the Tongpu Line will fall. By then, the Japanese army will be only a natural barrier of the Yellow River away from our base."

"Second, as our troops display a large number of new weapons, the powerful military production capacity of our Military Industry Bureau will be completely exposed to the enemy. In this way, we will become a thorn in the enemy's side. The Japanese army will send planes to bomb the base at all costs to affect the production work of our Military Industry Bureau. Nanjing will carry out a comprehensive blockade and secretly arrange spies to sabotage."

"Under this prospect, what we at the Military Industry Bureau need to do is to plan ahead, increase and maintain the production capacity of heavy weapons as much as possible, and lay a solid foundation to do our utmost to ensure the production and supply of weapons and ammunition."

Lu Yuan stood up, faced everyone, and explained his ideas in detail.

If Director Li Qiang's idea of ​​copying Soviet tanks is to be pioneering and enterprising, then Lu Yuan's idea is to maintain the status quo and survive.

Two years later, the heavy weapons production system established by the Military Industry Bureau was extremely valuable and hard-won. As the external situation deteriorated, the only way to have a long-term future was to maintain the heavy weapons production capacity as much as possible and continuously consolidate its own foundation.

live!

Live hard!

This is more important than anything else.

After these words were spoken, the meeting room fell silent.

Li Qiang thought about it carefully, and everyone present fell into deep thought. The idea proposed by Lu Yuan was not alarmist, but something that would actually happen.

The Japanese bombing, the blockade of Nanjing, and the sabotage on both sides were not fantasy.

"I agree with Comrade Lu Yuan's opinion. Of course, maintaining the status quo to consolidate the foundation and imitating Soviet tanks seem contradictory, but in fact they are not contradictory." At this time, Yu Hua spoke out to express his attitude and opinion.
