Great Power Ship

Chapter 225 New Equipment

The leader has long wanted to come to the Zhujiang factory to take a look around.

No way, during the previous landing exercise, the 162mm laser-guided artillery shell fired by the 130 destroyer impressed the leader too deeply, and at that time the Zhujiang factory entered his sight.

Originally, after the exercise was over, the leader was ready to go south, but because his superiors had urgent matters, he could only return to the capital first, and then led a delegation to visit the Federal Republic of Germany, France and the United Kingdom.

Extensive contacts have been made with relevant suppliers in these three European countries in order to prepare for the introduction of naval-related supporting equipment.

These include but are not limited to rapid-fire naval guns, short-range ship-to-air missiles, hull sonars, and towed sonars developed by France; high-speed diesel engines for ships in the Federal Republic of Germany, high-speed diesel engines for conventional submarines; British marine gas turbines, ship-borne air defense radars, Surface search radar, long-range satellite communication system and ship integrated command system.

It can be said that it includes almost all main battle equipment from the surface to the underwater.

Although this trip to Europe is very lively and has been valued by relevant European suppliers, there are very few real transactions. It is not that the Europeans hide all the good things and do not sell them. On the contrary, the Europeans this time can be said to be devoted All of them, so that the leaders and other members of the delegation were dazzled.

But when the price was asked, everyone was shocked again.

It is too expensive, so expensive that even if the navy's annual funds are exhausted, it is impossible to buy a few pieces.

So the leaders and the group can only be like country bumpkins who have just entered the city, looking at the dazzling array of goods but can only swallow their uncontrollable saliva.

I really can't afford it!

But I can’t afford it and I’m not reconciled. After all, they are the core good things that can improve the naval combat level by several levels.

So after returning to China, the leader reported to his superiors about the trip to Europe, and then began to investigate the actual situation of the navy along the coast.

In half a month, they have conducted extremely in-depth visits and investigations in Fleet B and Fleet D, and have grasped the problems currently faced by the Navy and the difficulties that need to be solved urgently.

Then he set off south to the N Fleet, the last stop of this investigation.

After a few days of visits, when I got to know the actual situation and was about to leave for Beijing, I suddenly remembered the 130mm laser-guided shell that surprised the audience during the exercise, and proposed to visit the Zhujiang factory.

So the leader and his party came to Zhujiang factory.

"At present, we have launched two small ferries with a displacement of 2 tons. We are currently planning a construction project of a 120-ton dry dock, which is expected to be completed within three years..."

On a piece of wasteland near the port area 20 kilometers east of the factory headquarters of the Zhujiang factory, Wen Dawei, wearing a rattan helmet, was talking about the future vision of the Zhujiang shipbuilding factory to a planning map.

The leader is fine, he has been listening attentively, his expression neither happy nor sad can tell what kind of attitude it is, but the other leaders who accompanied the leader are not so good-tempered.

Immediately, some people began to discuss in a low voice, thinking that the Zhujiang factory had received so much policy support from the N fleet, but it only built two 2-ton small boats, which was a bit misleading.

According to Wen Dawei, the Zhujiang plant will have to wait until the mid-90s to achieve a positive cycle in the shipbuilding business, which means that the N fleet will have to continue to support it in the next five years.

The problem is that if the Zhujiang factory can produce output, it will be fine, but from the current point of view, the shipbuilding business alone is a bottomless pit. Is support like the N fleet still necessary?
Therefore, many leaders believed that the ammunition production of the Zhujiang factory should be transferred to other factories for better centralized management.

After all, ammunition has always been an ordnance product, and it was a bit nondescript in a shipbuilding company. As a result, Zhujiang Factory's shipbuilding is still the same, except for some small boats, there is not even a dock.

What if production on the ammunition side is dragged down by the ship business?
Ordinary ammunition is fine. 130mm laser-guided shells are something that troops, especially army troops, fancy. If something goes wrong, it will have a great impact on the army.

You must know that similar situations are not uncommon among the leaders who have been present over the years. Often a good military product production plant becomes difficult due to transformation, and finally drags down the military product production everywhere.

The leaders of this group of troops were also frightened, so they had this idea.

And this made the leader of the N Fleet who accompanied him here very anxious, so he hurriedly confessed to Lu Weiguo, the director of the Zhujiang Factory Army Representative Office, so that he could tell Wen Dawei not to hang around on shipbuilding and vision all the time, and quickly come up with it. Come out with some dry goods, otherwise there will be some accidents, and the Zhujiang factory will not have time to cry!

Of course Lu Weiguo knew the power of it, so he immediately wrote a note and asked the staff of Zhujiang Factory to slip it to Wen Dawei.

Wen Dawei quickly saw the note.

I thought that if I didn't bring the difficulties and vision to the front, how could I have the nerve to let you gangsters ask for it?

The bosses were really happy when they really wanted to make online dry goods, and then they felt that the things made by Zhujiang Factory were so easy, and it was not a big loss to give a verbal praise with a wave of their hands.

That's the leader, if he doesn't take some benefits from him, Wen Dawei will feel sorry for the leader's trust in Zhujiang factory.

Of course, the difficulties, business, and vision can't be talked about all at once, otherwise, just like Lu Weiguo's note, the leaders are getting a little impatient, so it's time to do something.

So Wen Dawei changed the subject and said: "Our main shipbuilding business is these. Now I will introduce to the leaders our plans for military products in the next three years!"

Before the words fell, the staff of the Zhujiang factory had already removed the vision plan of the shipyard on the board and replaced it with a plan for the expansion of the military product factory area, which clearly marked the ammunition production plant, special equipment production plant and light weapons production plant. planning map.

Seeing this, many leaders couldn't help but frown. The ammunition production plant understands that all kinds of new ammunition, especially the production of 130mm laser-guided shells, will be concentrated here.

The production of special equipment is also easy to understand, such as diving equipment.

The problem is the light weapons production factory. Although it is not difficult to understand literally, the problem is that this type of equipment has already designated relevant manufacturers for mass production and follow-up development. What does it mean that Zhujiang factory has started a new one here?
Do you want to compete for other production tasks related to participation?

If you don't understand, you have to ask, so a leader said: "Is your light weapons factory producing Type 81 rifles or other products?"

Wen Dawei laughed when he heard the words: "The main thing is to produce new equipment developed by ourselves!"

Speaking of Wen Dawei, the staff took down the imaginary picture of the dock on another board and replaced it with a rendering of brand-new equipment. The leader who asked just now opened his eyes wide when he saw this, and pointed to the picture and continued to speak. They all hesitated: "This... this... this is the... new equipment you want to produce?"
