Rebirth of Military Workers

The Iran-Iraq War in the Middle East is over, and there is basically no possibility of getting huge orders as before.

Because of the 404's working style and mode of operation, technical personnel are not like other units. From management to technical personnel, they are all working hard for higher-level projects.

If there is more money, there is no shortage of money.

"Previously, I opposed building an aircraft carrier and a 10,000-ton large-scale drive because it burned too much money! Not to mention, even the core aircraft this time was delayed because of insufficient funds..." Xie Kai didn't want to get angry.

But at this time, it's no joke.

404 The situation is very good, but it can continue like this, when the capital chain is broken, how to do it?

"Yes, we still have more than 10 billion of funds in our hands. I just want to ask, after we invest in technology research and development, can the developed technology be realized and converted into funds? Let alone whether the funds can be quickly invested. Just complete the technology research and development." Xie Kai doesn't give other people a chance to speak at all.

Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing.

What Xie Kai said is not unreasonable. Being rich now does not mean that there will always be such a large amount of funds in the future.

The scientific research projects in the hands of 404 have now started to burn a lot of funds.

Especially after setting aside the funds needed for this core machine, less funds can be mobilized.

Whether it's aviation business or naval equipment, it's not something that can be done with a little money. If the army's equipment is to continue to improve, it must invest more in the field of basic research.

"Military industry investment is originally a large investment and a long return on investment. Under normal circumstances, it is national investment to support it. Let alone our domestic military industry units, even Western countries, relying on only one enterprise, any project Without government procurement, they can't support it!" Xie Kai said more and more loudly.

No one else can refute Xie Kai's words.

Without Xie Kai, 404 is now estimated to be completely bankrupt.

When Xie Kai emerged, the entire 404 salary had to be pooled for a few months to pay the entire base owner once.

Now that there is no such problem, there is no shortage of research and development funds, and the management staff is not swollen. That is unreasonable.

"Before I came back, I mentioned to Director Zheng that the application for state funding for the anti-stabilization image fire control fire control system. Director Zheng can testify to this! There is no other reason. Our funds will not last for a few years." Xie Kai After a pause, he continued.

Others could not refute, but Xie Jianguo had to come forward. His son was too young, so he would stand on the opposite side of the entire base management.

"Is this too sensational? Isn't Yun-10 already receiving orders now? The funding problem, isn't it that serious?" Xie Jianguo retorted his son.

This is what everyone thinks.

No one thinks that 404 will be short of money.

Even Yang Qian, who has always valued money and only likes to enter but not to export, finds it incredible, "Xie Kai, according to our budget, there will be no major problems with research funding in the next ten years."

"Minister Yang, I would like to ask, how is this budget made? Have you considered that the R&D funds we invested cannot be recovered?"

"Why can't it be recycled? At present, our equipment is not selling well? Thailand's military still has more than one billion U.S. dollars, and Argentina, Pakistan and other countries are potential customers..." Zheng Yucheng felt that Xie Kai's statement made no sense at all. , "It's okay to take a long-term view, and you can't think too negatively."

"Negative? The current Iran-Iraq war is over. Unless a war breaks out, which country will purchase all kinds of weapons and equipment on a large scale?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng back.

He is going crazy.

Silly Damu can't afford weapons anymore.

Although the last batch of weapons and equipment was large in quantity, a large part of it was paid for by oil.

So far, Iraq still owes the Soviet Union tens of billions of dollars in equipment funds. Therefore, until now, it has not bought advanced MiG-29 fighters and so on from the Soviets.

There are many other equipment. The Soviets are currently short of money, but they do not welcome orders from Iraq and require them to settle the money they owed before they can continue.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Moreover, there is only one Iraq in the world.

I didn’t see that in the Iran-Iraq War, the Persians also suffered heavy losses and did not replenish their weapons and equipment like Iraq.

Lack of money is only one aspect.

On the other hand, unlike Iraq’s idiots, they want to be third in the world.

"It was not an accident that we sold so many weapons and equipment during the Iran-Iraq War. First, most of the equipment of the entire Iraqi army came from the Soviet Union, and our industrial base was built with the help of the Soviets; Second, the Iraqis owed a huge amount of money to the Soviet Union before, and it is difficult to get new equipment if they don’t repay it, and their relationship with Western countries has been disharmonious. Third, Iraq is rich in oil. Western countries have bad relations, and Western countries are trying to win over Iraq. Fourth, our products are cheap and good in quality, and the productivity is not bad, and they just meet the needs of Iraq..."

It is too difficult to get a customer like Iraq.

After the fall of Iraq, there will be only one such customer in the world, and there will be no other countries except the third brother of India next door.

Chinese equipment sold to India's third brother on a large scale?

It's totally joking.

The Chinese are willing to sell, but the Indians will not buy.

They have always regarded China as an object of surpassing, and more importantly, they feel that China's weapons and equipment are backward, and the country is poor or even worse than them. Although this is very contradictory.

Everyone knows why Iraq seeks China to purchase weapons and equipment.

It's not that they like Chinese weapons and equipment.

Originally, the 359 tank was transported to Iraq. The young officer team selected by Tekrit has always favored the T-72, not as good as the 359, until it had actual combat effects...

"In the future, our largest customer of military products will no longer come from abroad, but our own military. Everyone should know that too advanced weaponry and equipment technology is related to national defense and security, and the country will ban exports. Before we exported 359. Tanks, avant-garde air defense missiles, especially Feidun-359, the attitude of superiors, everyone knows..."

Technology embargo.

This thing is not imported because advanced countries impose an embargo on China, and China also has embargo regulations.

There is no other reason, but it involves national defense and security.

"The more advanced weapons and equipment we develop, the more advanced the weapons and equipment we develop. Even if the superiors do not make orders, you guys, we continue to export, is it appropriate? The top domestic weapons are not equipped by our own troops, and they are all exported. How many companies are there? Foreign countries know that this state is the reason why everyone is actively working on military technology? Let foreign countries know the top level of our equipment?" Xie Kai asked a bit too much.

There are no national defense science and technology workers who are not trying to contribute to national defense construction.

Xie Jianguo was the first to object, "Xie Kai, why do you say this? Who is not for national defense? Or else, who cares if you do not engage in military technology?"

"Yeah, Xiao Xie, you just said that." Wang Guilin saw that everyone was glaring at Xie Kai, knowing that he caused public outrage.

This was not the effect he and Zheng Yucheng wanted.

"I don't doubt everyone's consciousness. 404 was going bankrupt that year, and everyone in this room was actively trying to find a way, but no one proposed to leave." Xie Kai said calmly, "Everyone understands that the more advanced, the harder it is to export. And the country is centered on economic construction. Everything has to make way for economic construction. The army needs patience. How long can the investment funds be recovered? Apart from anything else, the Yun-10 aircraft is the most obvious example. Now. Yun-10 has an order and has already started mass production. Can Yun-10 not be put into use? Director Bai?"

Bai Yanjun didn't expect that Xie Kai would ask himself directly.

Everyone's eyes turned to him again.

There are many orders for Yun-10, and the Civil Aviation Administration of China has placed orders.

Can you continue to invest?

"No. The development of new models of the Yun-10, the transformation of military transport aircraft, early warning aircraft, aerial tankers, etc., all require continuous investment... The profit of the Yun-10 orders, even the funds required for continuous modification cannot be guaranteed." Bai Yanjun Unwilling to answer, still have to answer.

Yun-10 has an order and cannot support the funding for continued research.

Xie Kai did not continue to ask him, but turned to Qi Zhiyuan, "Director Qi, Hudong Shipyard has a lot of orders for warships. Can the profits of these orders support our continuous research on the 10,000-ton-class heavy-duty drive and aircraft carrier?"

Qi Zhiyuan shook his head.

The cost of a 10,000-ton-class large drive is more than one billion yuan, which is not even considered the investment required for research technology.

"Can you take out a 10,000-ton big drive?" Xie Kai continued to ask.

Qi Zhiyuan shook his head awkwardly.

That is not possible.

"So, we can only count on the Navy. In the next ten years, can military expenditures reach the current annual military expenditures of the United States?" Xie Kai asked again.

This time it is everyone who asked.

Everyone blushed and shook their heads.

It is impossible.

"In the next 30 years, our military expenditure may reach the current amount in the United States. Who can guarantee that our more than tens of billions of funds can last for 30 years?" Xie Kai felt that this was the last time we gave these People talk about this.

Love it.

He couldn't guarantee the future of 404.

But continuing to do this will definitely lead to a dead end.

"It is possible to engage in civilian products. Our progress in military product research and development will be affected..." Zheng Yucheng sighed and said helplessly, "The gap between us and the international market is already big..."

"Who said that engaging in civilian products will affect the research and development of military products?" Xie Kai couldn't laugh or cry.

Regarding strategy or something, these big bosses are all human beings, playful, and ten Xie Kai can't play them.

But on this issue, these people's ideas, Xie Kai really can't understand.
