Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 709 Take the road of military-civilian integration

Thanks to the generosity of the book friend [My Haiyan] in the book city, I am grateful.

On the way back from the test field, Fatty and Dongzi were full of doubts.When they arrived at the office, Jiang Chen brought them a glass of water, and said to them, "Okay, just ask any questions, don't hold them in your stomach."

"Brother Chen/I,,", Dongzi and Fatty spoke at the same time after finishing, but stopped when they saw each other talking.Seeing that Dongzi had stopped talking, the fat man opened his mouth and said to Jiang Chen, "Brother Chen, what do you think about that medium-sized truck?"

"Yeah, brother Chen, what's going on here? Is it rare that this car was developed for the army? I haven't heard of it." Dongzi also asked in confusion.

"Drink water, drink water, what are you in a hurry for?" Jiang Chen pressed his hand and smiled.

Seeing that Jiang Chen still had a smile on his face, the fat man said anxiously: "Why do I have the heart to drink water? This vehicle will be put into production soon, and the next sale is coming. This is good, the pressure is on me, who am I going to hire?" Who did you offend?"

"Hehe, what's the rush, let me explain to you slowly." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Seeing this, Dongzi reacted uncertainly: "Could it be that our truck is really for arms sales."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "It's not comprehensive. I have my own ideas about this car. In addition to direct arms sales, we can also develop other projects."

Seeing that the two were confused, Jiang Chen explained with a smile: "You know, this military industry market is highly profitable, so everyone wants to squeeze in. I have always wanted to develop a high-tech product , to enter the military market. For example, the off-road vehicles we cooperate with some of them are a good example.”

"However, our civilian market is developing very well now. Is it necessary to go into this muddy water? Besides, there is still the B17 factory. Do we want to compete with them?" the fat man asked.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "If you don't have long-term considerations, you must have near-term worries. Our factory seems to be developing well, but we actually hide this huge hidden danger, that is, most of our current products are from imitations. Although It is said that we have improved and developed a lot, but there is still a certain gap with foreign cutting-edge products. If we want to gain a firm foothold in the market, we must have our own advanced technology. The military industry is It belongs to the forefront of the entire industrial field, because all industries must serve the defense industry. Therefore, we need to enter the military industry and promote the development of our civilian technology through the technology of the military industry. And we also have It has a great advantage, that is, we have relatively sufficient funds, which can better promote our development in the military industry. This can be said to be a win-win situation, so why not do it. As for the B17 factory, we have more In fact, it is a cooperative relationship that complements each other. Our two sides have different focuses. We are researching delivery vehicles, while they are researching weapon systems. If the two are combined, then a brand new weapon will be produced. This is a win-win situation for both of us.”

"I seem to understand a bit. What you mean is that we promote the development of our civilian technology through the development of military industrial technology. Although it is difficult for us to enter the military industry field, and the competition is relatively fierce, it is indeed a profitable industry recognized all over the world. If If we want to make a lot of money, we must get involved in this field. This is why you mentioned earlier why we want to develop the automobile industry and enter the aviation field, all of which pave the way for us to enter the military industry.” Fatty suddenly realized.

"Hehe, why are you scared?" Jiang Chen looked at the fat man and asked.

The fat man waved his hands and said, "Just kidding, I'd be scared! I'm just a little surprised. As you said, we're still young, so it's okay to go crazy once."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said: "It's not that serious. The specific arms sales are still in charge of the B17 factory. We just provide the corresponding equipment. Besides, we have already entered this field. Our camouflage uniforms, motorcycles, All-terrain vehicles, paramotors, and off-road vehicles that we cooperate with have already been sold or are about to be sold, and there are no problems. Don’t worry, there will be no problems.”

"I understand." The fat man nodded and said, "Then what do we need to do?"

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "I don't need it for the time being, you'd better take care of your business. We will do all the arms sales here through B17, and it won't affect the normal production and life of the company."

The two nodded, and Dongzi asked Jiang Chen, "Brother Chen, what kind of weapons and equipment are we going to cooperate with the B17 factory for this truck we developed?"

"Hehe, use your brain to think." Jiang Chen said with a mysterious smile.

"Tch, keep it a secret." Dongzi said a little dissatisfied.

"Okay, this project is still going on, and you will all know when it succeeds." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Although the two were somewhat dissatisfied, they had nothing to do if Jiang Chen didn't say anything.In fact, Jiang Chen has been thinking about this project for a long time, not only to allow Western Industrial Company to set foot in the military industry, but also to solve the current predicament of the B17 factory. The current main weapons and equipment of the B17 factory are still light and individual, and there are no heavy weapons at all.This makes the types of weapons and equipment of the B17 factory relatively single, which is not conducive to future development.And these are individual weapons, although there are high-tech weapons and equipment, such as this missile, and this high-precision firearm, and the latest technology of integrating bullets and guns.But relatively speaking, the technical level is still relatively weak.

The main reason for this predicament, on the one hand, is the lack of corresponding technology and thinking.On the other hand, the big problem is the lack of suitable delivery vehicles.For example, Wang Hongyi, Shi Lan, and the others thought about developing a [-]mm Gatling cannon, which would greatly improve both ground fire suppression and air defense.But in the end this plan was shelved. One very important reason is the lack of suitable delivery vehicles.Let’s not let the [-]mm Gatling gun weigh, let’s just say that the [-]mm caliber ammunition it uses, according to Gatling’s rate of fire, must be at least a few hundred rounds.Then the weight of these ammunition, if there is no carrier, it will definitely be difficult.

The off-road vehicles, pickups, and trucks proposed by Jiang Chen are for direct sales on the one hand.On the other hand, it was developed for the weapons and equipment of the B17 factory.For example, for this medium-sized truck, Jiang Chen proposed a very good combination of weapons and equipment.However, because the B17 factory did not carry out research and production of artillery, Jiang Chen also deliberately contacted another military enterprise specializing in the research and development and production of artillery, and the three parties worked together to develop new weapons and equipment.Well, you should have guessed by now, what kind of weapons and equipment Jiang Chen is going to develop.
