Travel through the 1945 super power construction secret base

When military personnel visited the place again, armored vehicles and light tanks of various models had begun to roll off the production line.

The armored personnel carrier received extremely high praise after being tested by the army, but the only drawback may be the limited funding of the military.

Initially, the military believed that armored personnel carriers were not needed to replenish troops, but after several exercises, it was found that by using armored personnel carriers to quickly advance into the battlefield and directly deploy two platoons of soldiers, it was possible to immediately raid and seize positions.

This rapid assault combat method made the military very excited.

Upon hearing that other armored vehicles had rolled off the production line, many senior military officials flocked to the scene.

At this time, rows of powerful tanks were neatly parked in the armored vehicle factory: armored personnel carriers, long-range artillery vehicles, anti-aircraft vehicles, rocket vehicles and grenade vehicles.

These universal armored personnel carriers have the same body structure, with only the attack modules being different, while the body parts are all universal. The advantage of this kind of emergency repair on the battlefield has greatly satisfied the military personnel who came to inspect.

What was even more satisfying was the light tank, whose appearance shocked everyone present!

When these tanks were pulled into the test field for a test drive, many people's eyes were wide open.

It's incredible that this light tank is hauling heavy armor yet weighs only as much as a light combat vehicle!

However, what is even more amazing is its speed. On flat ground, it can reach a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

Even on complex off-road sections, it can still maintain a forward speed of 60 kilometers.

Although the durability of this tank has not yet been determined, the military will never give up easily even if there are some problems.

After all, there are all kinds of other types of tanks! If all of them are equipped to an army group, the improvement in combat effectiveness will be immeasurable, and it can be said to be a qualitative leap!

"For now, we have only opened one production line for these equipments, and the decision will mainly be based on the needs of the military. If necessary, we are fully capable of adding more production lines." The director of the armored vehicle factory introduced enthusiastically.

The military personnel seemed a little hesitant, and they all turned their eyes to the leader.

This leader had just returned from the Korean battlefield and knew that domestic heavy equipment had been mass-produced, so he rushed over to find out more about the situation.

He was very eager to have the factory produce large quantities of this equipment and equip the entire army with it, but at the same time he clearly realized that this was unrealistic.

Although the war was won, the economic price paid by the country was enormous.

At present, it can only be equipped on a small scale for a few ace troops.

He stared at the director of the armored vehicle factory with his fierce tiger eyes and said firmly: "Just produce it according to one production line, but we want all the products, and you must give us a better price!"

The director of the armored vehicle factory opened his lips slightly but did not dare to make a sound. He looked at Wang Jixin for help.

After Wang Jixin noticed this look, he moved his mouth, but he hesitated for a long time and was unable to speak.

"What? Is the price very high?" The military leader keenly noticed the hesitation of the factory staff and asked with a frown.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Ze stepped forward and explained, "Leader, the equipment we developed is absolutely leading, even compared with the existing equipment of the United States and the Soviet Union, it is far superior to them. However, this advancement does not come out of thin air, so the cost is indeed not low. Regarding the specific situation, we can go to the conference room to discuss it in detail."

Hearing someone take the initiative to respond, that person smiled and nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Everyone came to the conference room of the armored vehicle factory. Although this conference room was not as spacious as the one at the main factory, it was enough to accommodate everyone present.

The main members attending the meeting included the director of the machinery factory, the director and deputy director of the general factory, as well as the chief engineer and deputy chief engineer of the general factory, in addition to several organizational personnel and military representatives.

After entering the conference room, the factory staff poured everyone a cup of hot tea, and then the military leader asked directly: "Tell me, how much do you plan to sell these equipment for?"

Wang Ze saw that everyone else was silent and all eyes were on him, even his eldest brother gestured for him to speak. He felt quite helpless and had to stand up.

"Leader, we have prepared relevant paper materials for detailed information about these equipments. You can take a look at them first."

After that, he and Ma Qi distributed the prepared materials to everyone present.

Before discussing the price, they must be made aware of the value of the equipment so that they do not think the factory has priced it too high.

For a moment, the conference room was silent, with only the sound of flipping papers.

More than ten minutes later, the military leader put down the documents in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, then spoke after putting down the teacup.

"It's really advanced, beyond imagination! It's much better than those products in the United States."

The military leader burst into praise. He actually wanted to say that it was more advanced than those of the United States and the Soviet Union, but it was not appropriate to say that now.

The Soviet Union had just started to provide large amounts of aid for various industrial projects, but then a tank emerged that was much more advanced than the Soviet Union's. Where would the Soviet Union put its face? Given Khrushchev's character, there was no guarantee that he would withdraw his personnel after learning about this.

Other military personnel also joined the discussion at this time.

Overall, they expressed great satisfaction with the gear, but ultimately it came down to whether the price was reasonable.

Wang Ze paused for a moment and then continued, "As for the price of armored personnel carriers, I believe you all already know that each one costs three billion."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Other models of armored vehicles are priced at 5 billion, and as for tanks, the factory price is 70 billion!"

The price of a tank is much higher than that of an armored vehicle.

The armored vehicle was originally designed only to withstand long-range gunfire. Since it does not use light steel materials, its weight is even heavier than this tank.

The tank, however, is very different, with its interior constructed almost entirely of lightweight steel.

You know, the ex-factory price of light steel is quite high nowadays.

In addition, a series of advanced control systems such as the new artillery are all masterpieces of precision manufacturing, so the manufacturing cost is naturally high.

In addition, the armor made of special steel is enough to withstand the frontal attack of any tank at this stage.

Because of this, its price is naturally not cheap.

But as soon as the price was announced, the place suddenly fell silent.
