    Zhang Xiaozhun laughed loudly: "You two are natural enemies, and you fight each other as soon as you meet! Since the Politburo decided to go to war with Japan, Congress has approved the money, and now the General Armament Department is so busy that it doesn't even touch the ground.

    ¡°Every aspect requires the expansion of technicians, equipment, and materials, as well as technological upgrading, advanced planning, and talent reserves. This frontline requires large-scale production, and neither is easy to do.  Now that the young marshal has asked me to come in person, he is preparing to make me miserable!  You two, please stop causing trouble here.  "

    Although the level is much different, the only difference is the length of time they have met the young marshal. They are both leaders in the military, so Zhang Xiaozhun speaks much more casually.  It's a complaint, but it's actually a lot of jokes, and of course there's also a sense of joy from the bottom of my heart. After all, it feels good to be taken seriously.

    The other senior officials of the navy and air force have always interacted with each other. When the coaches of the two armies made jokes, they all smiled tacitly.  Although Shanghai and the Air Force generally have a competitive relationship, they are both serving the country. In this situation, they should be harmonious, but they should still argue based on reason.

    Zhang Hanqing likes this atmosphere very much.  Soldiers should be a bit bloody.  He single-handedly brought about the competition between the navy and air force, and he was happy to see it come to fruition.  Competition leads to progress, and having ideas is always a good thing. Why don't we still need him to personally take care of everything now?  His main task is to put forward opinions on the overall strategy and urge various ministries to provide suggestions for the implementation of this strategy. Besides, he has run out of ink in his stomach.

    He also said cheerfully to Zhang Xiaozhun: "Is Minister Zhang complaining or complaining? If this equipment minister is so easy to do, I will rush to Hunan to find you? The two chiefs complained to you on the surface.  In fact, I¡¯m asking for help from you. If we want to solve their predicament now, you, the Equipment Minister, can¡¯t do it without getting very anxious!¡±

    While chatting and laughing, the group came to the conference room.  In the bustling Dalian Bay, no one knows that the discussion that determines the outcome of a war between countries is taking place here.  Almost all the top brass of the navy and air force are gathered here: the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, chief of staff, and three members of the Military Commission. The life and death of hundreds of thousands of people will be decided here.

    After sitting down, Guo Songling became serious. He took out a top-secret document and said calmly: "The losses caused by the Japanese navy to our country during this period are quite huge. The threat of the Japanese fleet is second to the guerrilla tactics of its Marine Corps.  It's a headache.

    After discussion by the Navy Department, the only way we can currently cope with it is to rapidly expand the establishment of the Marine Corps and station troops on coastal islands and reefs, important ports and maritime hubs, especially the Zhoushan Islands, Bohai Strait, Taiwan Strait and Qiongzhou Strait.  All are in urgent need of heavy artillery.  This is currently relatively easy for us to equip and can only be used in emergencies.

    Because HNA had only two groups of torpedo bombers before and seriously lacked well-trained pilots. After the losses in the last air battle, HNA was no longer able to launch attacks on the Japanese fleet.

    The re-equipped naval aviation forces have to guard against the possibility of Japanese troops entering from the Bohai Sea, the Yangtze River, and the Pearl River Estuary. They have stationed a wing of aircraft in these places to pose a threat to their fleets and prevent them from daring to advance. But so far, I have learned that  Even though they were full, there were only four of them. One of them was transferred to Yongxing Bay in North Korea according to the command of the young marshal. His strength was no longer enough and he couldn't care about the radiation in other places. Therefore, Commander Yang's air force was to deal with them.  The most powerful weapon for the Marines and their transport ships.

    I think the current priority of the General Armament Department for military production is Air Force bombers and shore artillery, first to solve the urgent needs of maritime defense, and then to HNA bombers.  I wonder what the young marshal thinks of this?  "

    Zhang Hanqing nodded, but wanted to hear the Air Force's opinion. He asked Yang Yuting: "What is Mr. Yang's opinion?"

    Yang Yuting then said: "Actually, I have exchanged opinions with Mr. Guo before. We believe that currently we can only use Air Force aircraft to carry out expulsion actions to prevent the Japanese army from making large-scale landings. Moreover, Shenyang and Shenyang, which produce Air Force aircraft,  The two major aircraft factories in Chengdu have ready-made vacant production lines that can be put into operation as soon as possible.

    In addition, the existing combat aircraft of the Air Force are already small-scale and basically cover the defense areas of the four major coastal military regions. There are also many skilled pilots. As long as the aircraft can keep up, it can expand to eight to ten wings in the short term.  Besides, dealing with land targets was originally a training subject for the Air Force.  "

    The Navy generally favors dive bombers over the Air Force because they are small, easier to take off, land and store on the deck, and can accommodate more in the same area.  And because the target is relatively close during bombing, the accuracy is relatively high, which is particularly beneficial for attacking enemy surface ships.

    Since Air Force bombers take off and land on land, they are basically not subject to size and weight restrictions, so their commanders generally adopt a large-scale bombing strategy.  In this way, for accuracyThe request is not big.  Relatively speaking, its pilot training is less difficult and easier to scale.  At this time, the development of HNA's torpedo bombers was indeed slow.

    Seeing that Guo Songling also agreed with this direction, Zhang Hanqing agreed.  He asked Chang Xiaozhun: "If we fully produce Air Force aircraft, what is our maximum production capacity?"

    Zhang Xiaozhun blurted out without preparation: "The problem with the production line is not big, but the number of engines at Nanchang Aircraft Factory is insufficient. The root cause is that we originally needed to import propeller blades, but now the United States has embargoed us. Currently, the only source of imports is  It can only be the Soviet Union, which requires the assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As long as the problem of blade import is solved, monthly production of 250 blades will not be a problem."

    Zhang Hanqing nodded and said: "Our relationship with the Soviet Union is okay. I can personally solve this problem, but why can't we make paddles?"

    The engine is known as the "crown jewel" of industrial technology. In later generations, our large aircraft have been suffering from unresolved "core" problems, which has seriously hindered the development process of the Air Force.  Could it be that China has already encountered this problem in the initial stage of its air force?  This must be solved, otherwise the consequences will be endless!

    Zhang Xiaozhun shook his head: "No, we were planning to start blade production, but the technicians in the equipment department calculated that now our cost of producing a blade is more than twice that of importing it. Limited funds are used to produce more blades.  Things, I can only bear the pain and dismount.¡±

    Oh, is this happening?  Zhang Hanqing became sensitive: "No! We must keep the core technology in our own hands. There is always a development process for everything. If we give up our own development for a little money now, wait until there is a big breakthrough in aircraft technology, and then we can start developing it ourselves again.  The cost of blades is even greater. We can produce less and keep improving, and one day we will catch up.

    The fate of a country¡¯s sharp weapon cannot be left to others to control, just like the U.S. embargo against China this time. Minister Zhang must keep this in mind!  In the future, the localization rate of military weapons will be an important parameter for assessing each enterprise. Each industry must set a ratio. Projects lower than this ratio will not be adopted, even if they are very good now; military enterprises that master core technologies  , the equipment department should focus on support.

    This paddle project needs to be an independent project, and the missing expenses can be directly raised by Minister Zhang after the meeting and earmarked by the president.  Minister Zhang must personally control its progress!  "

    When it comes to enterprise production, Zhang Hanqing has always believed in the principle of "competition leads to progress." He believes that the government should not control things to death. Children who are pampered will not grow up. This is a summary of thousands of years of experience.

    However, the uniqueness of military industrial enterprises forces the government to underwrite even its immature "works", otherwise the burden of enterprise failure will be thrown to the government again. This is probably why China has invested huge amounts of money in the post-industrial industry but has always failed to do so.  This may be the reason for the strange cycle of "purchase¡ª¡ªimitation¡ª¡ªreplacement purchase¡ª¡ªre-imitation" in the production of high-precision projects.

    Therefore, Zhang Hanqing imitated the U.S. military procurement method and established several large-scale military enterprises that competed with each other for each project, such as Wuhan and Jiangnan Shipyards for building warships, the planned Dalian Shipyard; and Xi'an, Nanchang, Shenyang, and Harbin for aircraft manufacturing.  The four major aircraft factories; Shenyang Tractor Factory (later renamed Shenyang Machinery Factory) and Zhuzhou Heavy Industry, which manufacture tanks and armored vehicles; Tianjin Dodge Automobile Factory, Changchun Hongqi Automobile Factory, and Baoding Great Wall Automobile Factory under preparation for automobile manufacturing.

    It is not only necessary to maintain competitiveness to promote the development of respective technologies and increase China's future international competitiveness in these aspects, but also to greatly cater to market demand - with the great development of the transportation industry, China's aviation, automobile, ocean-going  Transportation is in a state of rapid expansion. To prepare for a rainy day, it is better to start in advance on these large projects that are related to national interests.

    The air force matter has come to an end, and the naval shore artillery matter is on the agenda again.  Currently, the Chinese Army has many military-affiliated artillery regiments equipped with 155mm heavy artillery that can pose a real threat to warships, and some division-affiliated artillery regiments also possess a small amount.

    But they are land-based, and their firepower is a bit fierce, but their range is relatively short. To deal with naval guns that often attack out of sight from more than ten kilometers away, unless they are well concealed, it will be difficult for people to hit the muzzle of the gun.

    The 155mm shore artillery used by China is derived from the German 150mm K16 cannon during World War I. It was a heavy artillery that terrified enemy soldiers in World War I. It is 6.41m long, has a shell weight of 51.4 kg, and a maximum rate of fire of 2  Shots/minute, muzzle velocity 757 meters/second, maximum range 22,000 meters.

    China introduced it just because of its range.  When the warships were far inferior to their opponents, this bulky cannon supported the sky over China's waters.  According to feedback from naval battles, it has a certain deterrent effect on the enemy's large ships, forcing the Japanese ships not to dare to approach. The only difference is that the rate of fire is too slow!

    I remember that during World War II, Germany fully explored it and came up with an improved version that was better than it. I wonder what model it was called?  But since they are still improving technology after 20 years, it shows that it still has certain development value.

    Zhang Hanqing still admires German cannon technology, because someone once evaluated Germany's thirteen first-class military technologies during World War II, and artillery ranked first!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)But since they are still improving technology after 20 years, it shows that it still has certain development value.
