Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 764
"Head, this is the 122mm truck howitzer that we initially assembled." Wang Hongyi pointed to the truck gun in front of him and introduced it to Jiang Chen.

"122 mm, why not 120?" Jiang Chen asked Wang Hongyi as he looked at the truck cannon.

Wang Hongyi smiled slightly and said: "At present, we are still in the process of developing and exploring, and the 120-caliber cannon howitzer is in the process of improvement. As long as we have this experimental result, once the improvement is completed, we can install it directly. Anyway, there is not much difference. .”

"En." Jiang Chen nodded upon hearing that.This time, Jiang Chen returned to the B17 factory because Wang Hongyi reported that the truck bag was basically completed, so Jiang Chen came back to have a look.And for a long time, Jiang Chen's work has been focused on the company side, which will inevitably have a negative impact on the B17 factory, so Jiang Chen still needs to show up more often.Of course, the leaders in the factory must have objections to Jiang Chen.But there is no way, as the scale of the company grows, the factory here can't keep up, which makes the factory leaders somewhat complicated.What made them happy was that Jiang Chen led these incompetent boys to develop in just a few years, and now the company has grown to such a large scale that it is one of the best in the country.Such a promising child, such a promising Jiang Chen, how could they be unhappy.On the one hand, what is sad and sad is that they have worked so hard for so many years to be surpassed by a few brats in just a few years. How can they accept this, especially when they see Jiang Chen and the few After the kid was proud of himself, their self-esteem naturally felt that they had been hurt.On the other hand, their expectations for Jiang Chen are very high, and they have been cultivating him as their successor.But now, this successor actually started a new job, and he did a great job, even surpassing them. Would Jiang Chen like this be willing to go back and take over the leadership position of the factory? They were beating their hearts.

"What's the matter, do you want to start the live ammunition test today?" Jiang Chen looked at them and asked with a smile.

Wang Hongyi and the others were caught in Jiang Chen's mind, and each of them felt embarrassed. Wang Hongyi said with some embarrassment: "Well, we have finished the relevant testing work in the early stage, and now we will see the live ammunition shooting. Because the mule comes out with a horse, we also want to see the specific performance through live ammunition.”

Jiang Chen looked at the truck cannon, then looked at Wang Hongyi and said, "You guys have to check it out and be well prepared. Once this accident happens, it will hurt people."

Wang Hongyi nodded and said earnestly: "Head, don't worry, we have gone through strict and persistent demonstration work, and decided to conduct a live ammunition test after confirming that there is no problem. Otherwise, we would not have the guts."

"Okay, I approved, how do you plan to test?" Jiang Chen thought for a while and replied.

When Wang Hongyi and the others heard that Jiang Chen agreed, they were all very happy. Wang Hongyi said to Jiang Chen, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. The opposite side of our weapons testing field is cultivated land. On the other side is an uninhabited river beach and saline-alkali wasteland. The distance from the shooting range to there is only about [-] kilometers, which is just enough for the maximum range of our artillery. In the three or four days before today, our people have been here A region has conducted repeated propaganda and investigations, and has already squatted there, and there will be absolutely no accidents."

"That's all right, let's do this. I'll report it to the factory leaders first. They should know about this kind of live ammunition test." After speaking, Jiang Chen called the factory director Chen Guorong and explained the specific situation.I thought it would be fine, because it has always been like this in the past.But unexpectedly, Chen Guorong asked them to wait, and he came over in person.This made Jiang Chen a little puzzled, and made Wang Hongyi and the others a little uneasy, whether something went wrong.

Soon, Chen Guorong came, but he was followed by Secretary Xu and a group of leaders.Seeing such a huge formation, Jiang Chen quickly went up to meet him and said, "Uncle Chen, what happened, such a big commotion?"

Chen Guorong waved his hand at Jiang Chen and said, "Nothing happened, we all came if we wanted to see it."

"Ah, that's it!" Jiang Chen didn't think so.

Seeing Jiang Chen's expression, Secretary Xu Shijie and Xu Shijie smiled at Jiang Chen and the others and said, "Hehe, we also heard that you are going to experiment with new weapons, so we came here to have a look. This weapon is very important to our factory, so it cannot appear What an accident, the few of us couldn't sit still after hearing it, so we came here."

Before Jiang Chen could say anything, Wang Hongyi replied to Xu Shijie, "Secretary Xu, don't worry, we have confidence."

"Okay, it's good to have confidence, we'll wait and see the results." Xu Shijie also laughed.

Chen Guorong glanced at Jiang Chen and nodded, "Let's get started."

Jiang Chen understood and said to Wang Hongyi: "Okay, let's start when you're ready. Today you are the protagonist, and I just want to watch and not interfere."

"Yes!" Wang Hongyi replied, and then turned around to get ready.

Soon a team of five testers wearing camouflage uniforms and helmets ran up from one side, and then stood in front of Wang Hongyi, and one of them came out and shouted: "Report, the 122mm truck howitzer live ammunition test team Ready, please instruct!"

Wang Hongyi shouted at them: "Follow the plan."

"Yes!" As the man responded, and then returned to the team, the whole team ran to the side of the truck gun, and then got on the car.The car started, and then quickly drove into the testing ground and stopped about 80 meters away from Jiang Chen and the others.Then five people quickly came out of the cab, two of them ran to the sides of the vehicle body, and quickly lowered the two supports on both sides of the truck's site, that is, the 'gun mount' of the artillery against the ground.The other three people quickly jumped into the car and quickly adjusted the shooting angle of the artillery.After hearing a few commands, the second gunner took out a 122mm grenade from the closed iron boxes in front of the truck, which were actually ammunition boxes. Under the command of the gunner, the first gunner opened the breech block, and the second gunner The shell is fed into the breech, and a gunner closes the breech block.Then the second gunner began to assist the first gunner to confirm the angle and position. After confirming, with the order of the gunner, the first gunner pulled the gun rope.

Boom!The artillery fired immediately, and violent flames and smoke were emitted from the muzzle to push the shells to the predetermined area quickly.The huge recoil of the artillery made the whole truck's cannon tremble violently, and it took a long time to calm down.After the smoke cleared, several pieces of glass in the cab of the truck could not bear the violent vibration and burst open. Even the front windshield was shaken to form tiny particles and shattered spider webs. pattern.

However, Wang Hongyi and the factory leaders didn't seem to see these details, and celebrated one after another.Jiang Chen smiled slightly at this, and then let them go.Compared with these tiny flaws and deficiencies, being able to successfully launch is a huge success, how can you not be happy.
