The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Thinking in detail.

Liu Tao gradually made a decision - conventional submarines!

Nuclear submarines are good, but the cost of nuclear submarines is too high. The navy can hardly afford the high cost of nuclear submarines. Liu Tao used his fingers to think, and he knew that once he developed a nuclear submarine, the navy would definitely be very happy, and then either pay in installments or buy on credit first and pay later when he has money.

The cost of nuclear submarines is notoriously expensive.

The latest cost of a US 'Los Angeles' class nuclear submarine is now $900 million! The cost of an 'Ohio-class' nuclear submarine has now soared to $2 billion.

The high cost, even the wealthy Americans, can't afford it at this time, and the opposition voices in Congress have been very loud.

The latest cost of France's 'Triumph-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine' is more than $5 billion, making it the most expensive submarine in the world.

The cost of Soviet nuclear submarines is also not much cheaper.

According to Liu Tao's research, the cost of China's nuclear submarines, Type 091 and Type 092, is about 300 million RMB, and that does not include weapons.

If Liu Tao wants to develop nuclear submarines, he must follow high standards and high requirements. The cost of a nuclear submarine may soar to 1 billion RMB or even 2 billion RMB.

In addition, the cost cycle is long, so it is not as good as building conventional submarines.

After all, the current navy is not positioned as a blue-sea navy!

Conventional submarines are much cheaper, and the construction cycle is not that long, which allows the navy to have submarines for use faster.

The most important thing is that even if the navy pays in installments, Panshan Group does not need to be under such great pressure.

After making up his mind, Liu Tao applied for access to the design data of the Type 035 submarine.

Soon, the application was approved.

Time always passes fastest when immersed in one thing.

Before he knew it, the last day of 1984 had passed, and the first day of 1985 had arrived.

Liu Tao rushed back to Beijing for vacation on the last day of 1984.

On New Year's Day, the state issued the "Ten Policies on Further Activating the Rural Economy", deciding to reform the unified purchase and dispatch system of agricultural products, and to implement contract ordering and market purchase from 1985.

The main contents of these ten policies are to reform the unified purchase and dispatch system of agricultural products, replace the unified purchase and dispatch with contract ordering and market purchase; actively develop diversified operations, open up multiple channels to raise funds for road construction, and develop transportation; implement credit tax incentives for township enterprises, encourage farmers to develop mining and other development businesses; revitalize rural financial policies, improve the efficiency of capital financing; further expand urban and rural economic exchanges; develop foreign economic and technological exchanges, etc.

Since the state approved the "Minutes of the National Rural Work Conference" on January 1, 1982, this is the fourth consecutive time that the state's No. 1 document is about agriculture, rural areas and farmers, showing the importance of rural reform and agricultural development.

It is also with this year's No. 1 document that people in various rural areas purchase crops from farmers instead of having to sell them to agricultural stations.

This is also the state's efforts to carry out rural reform and develop agriculture, and it is also a manifestation of the spirit of the leader's speech last year, allowing some people to get rich first.

Liu Tao got up much later than usual, and it was already eight o'clock in the morning when he woke up.

After getting up, he rubbed his waist.

"Being thirty is indeed a hurdle, and my body can't bear it." Liu Tao muttered.

When he got up, he smelled a strong aroma of medicine.

Apparently, the kitchen was stewing a tonic soup, and Liu Tao felt a warm current in his heart. It was indeed a good sister, considerate and caring.

The children were playing, and they were having a lot of fun.

It was a holiday at this time, and several nephews and nieces were playing together. There were a total of more than a dozen children playing here.

"Brother!" Chen Lijuan hurriedly called when she saw Liu Tao coming.

Liu Tao nodded: "Xiaojuan, will it be too tiring to take care of so many children alone?"

Chen Lijuan, also the wife of Liu Tao's cousin 'Liu Qi', is two years younger than Liu Tao, but she is already the mother of two children.

Liu Qi went to the north to do business, so Chen Lijuan moved to the courtyard to help take care of the children or help in the store.

After all, Liu Qi lived in a shabby and small dormitory, and his family lived in a dormitory of less than 30 square meters. The living environment was far inferior to the courtyard.

Besides, Liu Qi resigned and went into business, so he naturally couldn't live in the dormitory anymore.

Liu Tao asked Liu Qi to arrange for Chen Lijuan to move to the courtyard, so that they could help each other.

"No, it's not tiring at all." Chen Lijuan said.

Coming here, living and eating well, it's nothing more than helping to take care of the children. Chen Lijuan has gained a few pounds in the past few months.

Liu Tao and Chen Lijuan chatted for a while.

Then he played with the children. He only went back to Beijing for a few days a month for vacation, and the time to accompany the children was limited, so every time he came back, he would play with the children as much as possible.

At noon, Liu Tao drank a big bowl of tonic soup, and he felt that his energy and spirit were restored all of a sudden, and he was fully revived.

He didn't have back pain when walking, and he didn't feel floating.

Liu Zhenbang talked about arms exports.

Now China's most profitable trade is the export of weapons and equipment.

Iraq alone purchased 5 billion rounds of various types of bullets.

In addition to purchasing advanced weapons from Panshan Group, both Iran and Iraq purchased large quantities of bullets, artillery shells, Type 59 tanks, artillery, anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, etc.

For all weapons imports, the China Ordnance Industry Corporation occupies the largest share, exceeding the total of other departments.

For example, the firearms that China had sealed up before, the guns that were replaced, etc., were almost all exported to Iran and Iraq, the Middle East, and Africa.

Now, before New Year's Day, all pistols in China were replaced with 78-type pistols, all rifles were replaced with 78-type automatic rifles, and machine guns, heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, sniper rifles, etc. were all replaced.

All the replaced weapons should be exported as much as possible.

"How much of the previous ammunition reserves have been sold?" Liu Tao asked.

Liu Zhenbang stretched out five fingers, and Liu Tao immediately understood what Liu Zhenbang meant, that is, one-fifth was sold.

This means that four-fifths of the ammunition produced before is still in the warehouse.

In the past thirty years, the amount of ammunition produced can be imagined.

Liu Tao couldn't help shaking his head, which also means that even if the Red Dragon's Roar and the front line of these years are added together, the previous warehouse ammunition consumption is roughly more than three-fifths.

The bullets and shells that Panshan Group survives are partly exported, partly used on the battlefield, and partly used as ammunition reserves.

After all, at this time, everyone still has a bottom-line mindset and is preparing for the outbreak of the S3 season.

The intensity of the Iran-Iraq war is not even enough to consume all the ammunition reserves.

But think about it, the ammunition reserves are for the S3 season, and the ammunition reserves stored all over the country are absolutely amazing.

Liu Tao can only say that the speed of selling inventory is still too slow.

But he thought about it, and he didn't think of where he could sell some more.

In recent years, the Soviet Union and the United States have been quiet, and the whole world has been much calmer.

It is really not that easy to sell these guns and ammunition.
