The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 172 The Successor's First Meeting

The fuel-air bomb is a powerful, easy-to-make, and low-cost weapon.

Its price is about the same as that of ordinary artillery shells, and is even lower than that of some special artillery shells.

Like the US BLU-82, a 6.8-ton giant, each is worth only $2.7.

But this is the United States. If it were China, the price would be at least half less.

Of course, a fuel-air bomb that is too large is not a good thing either. It is too powerful and not easy to use on the battlefield. Once a mushroom cloud is raised, it is easy to be regarded as the use of a nuclear bomb, which will cause a very bad reaction.

However, there is no such problem when a single-soldier rocket launcher launches a fuel-air explosive bomb.

Liu Tao felt that with the weapons and equipment he had prepared for the combined battalion, they would be able to overcome difficulties and destroy the enemy no matter whether it was Koulin Mountain, Laoshan Mountain or Zheyin Mountain.

"Yes, Director!" Li Fuguo saluted.

Then Liu Tao left.

The exploration of weapons and equipment requires Li Fuguo to lead the soldiers in exploration, training and using weapons in normal times so that the advantages of weapons and equipment can be brought into play on the battlefield.

At this point, it can be said that the firepower of a combined battalion far exceeds that of a regiment.

The tanks of the two tank companies have not yet arrived fully, and the artillery company's guns have not yet arrived.

Otherwise, the firepower is definitely strong enough.

If it were equipped with armed helicopters, it would probably be able to defeat an entire division.

So far, as long as it is equipped with some vehicles and armored vehicles, the combined battalion can almost be said to be a mechanized force.

As for informationized troops, we are still far from it and do not have the conditions.

Maybe in the future we can recruit more college students, and get some mobile communication equipment and computers to make the entire command unimpeded, and perhaps it can be called an informationized force.

Back in the factory quality inspection room, there are boxes of heavy machine guns, heavy sniper rifles, anti-aircraft machine guns, sniper rifles, rifle grenades, sniper grenade launchers and various bullets.

As for the general-purpose machine guns, the pass rate had stabilized half a month ago, and Liu Tao cancelled the last inspection procedure himself.

It is the sniper rifle. What he needs to test now is actually the scope, and there are always some problems in this regard.

After testing one by one, Liu Tao gave instructions.

He will return to Beijing for vacation next, and he has to arrange everything for the eight days he is away.

If it is an emergency and you need to contact him, you can either call his home or contact the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Early the next morning, Liu Tao was taken directly to the airport by his driver and flew to Beijing.

Liu Tao was very excited to see his wife again.

The couple live in different places and can only spend eight days together every month.

It just so happens that these few days are the time for delivery.

Not only Liu Tao's parents moved to the Siheyuan, but Zhu Lin's parents also moved to the Siheyuan just in case.

For convenience, Liu Tao even sent an extra jeep to Beijing along with self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and tanks half a month ago.

If there is any situation, the baby can be sent to the hospital to give birth as soon as possible.

In the evening, Zhu Lin seemed a little nervous.

When she was pregnant before, she said every day that she wanted to give birth as soon as possible, but now that she is about to give birth, she is nervous again. "Do you think our son will be sick when he is born?" Zhu Lin said worriedly while lying next to Liu Tao, holding Liu Tao's hand.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our child must be healthy." Liu Tao consoled with a smile, "Besides, how do you know it's a son? It could be a daughter!"

Zhu Lin smiled and said, "But I like sons! Naturally I would like to have a son!"

"A son is not good, a daughter is better. A daughter is her mother's little cotton-padded jacket and her father's lover in the previous life. You are so beautiful, the daughter you give birth to will definitely be very beautiful." Liu Tao smiled and touched Zhu Lin's hair.

To be honest, he really hopes to have a daughter. Daughters are so nice and caring!
Unlike his son, he has to be a strict father and chase him with a bamboo since he was young.

After hearing what Liu Tao said, Zhu Lin felt much more relaxed.

This is the era. Although the country has always shaped the idea of ​​gender equality and men and women holding up half the sky, not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shen Jilan's initiative of "equal pay for equal work for men and women" was written into the first people's constitution in Chinese history, the "Constitution of the People's Republic of China."

Zhu Lin was also worried that if she gave birth to a daughter, her husband and mother-in-law would dislike her.

Soon, they both fell asleep.

The next day, Liu Tao originally planned to go to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, but at eight o'clock in the morning, just when he was about to go out, Zhu Lin's stomach began to hurt. He hurriedly got in the car, Chen Fang and Fang Zhen went together, Liu Zhenbang and Zhu Xiongxin took the bus, and Liu Tao drove the jeep to the hospital himself.

After arriving at the hospital, she was sent to the delivery room.

At this time, there is no such thing as accompanying the birth, and everyone has to wait outside.

Everyone was sitting outside the delivery room, feeling uneasy. Even Liu Tao was very nervous. He couldn't sit still. He just stood or walked around. He was extremely nervous.

Both anticipation and worry.

Liu Tao discovered for the first time, how could time pass so slowly! ?

I don't know how much time had passed, but the door of the delivery room finally opened, and a nurse wearing a mask walked out and said with a smile: "Mother and child are safe, it's a big fat boy, 7 pounds and 6 ounces."

Everyone was overjoyed.

The safety of mother and child is most important.

Soon, the child was pushed out.

Liu Tao happily held the child in his arms. The newborn baby was so soft that Liu Tao was very nervous. He felt unsteady in holding the child no matter how hard he tried. It was as if this was not a 7-pound child but a 6-pound object.

Chen Fang and Fang Zhen were even more delighted. This big fat boy was chubby since birth and was absolutely the favorite of the elders.

Grandmas and grandmothers love chubby children the most.

After a while, Zhu Lin was also pushed out. Seeing her sweating profusely, Liu Tao felt distressed and stepped forward to hold her hand: "Thank you for your hard work, my wife!"

"What do you want to name your son?" Zhu Lin's voice was a little weak, but there was a hint of maternal light in her eyes.

It is still very obvious whether a woman has given birth or not.

"Liu Jingming!" Liu Tao pondered for a moment and chose a name he had prepared. According to what they had agreed upon before, if it was a boy, he would name it, and if it was a girl, Zhu Lin would name her.

Liu Tao recited softly: "When spring comes, the scenery is bright and peaceful, the waves are calm, and the sky is blue and boundless."

When Zhu Lin heard this, she seemed to feel the warm spring breeze and the sunshine. She also understood Liu Tao's message, that he hoped that the children would grow up in a peaceful era with a strong country and a prosperous people, and grow up safely, healthily and happily.

The reason for giving this name is that they naturally hope that the child will grow up in a peaceful era, healthy and happy physically and mentally. And this era is exactly what Liu Tao created for his descendants, and he is willing to work harder for it.
