Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

The rules of the auction were indeed absolute, but this kind of approach didn't exist domestically yet. Therefore, as long as he didn't sign, without any written agreement, it wouldn't constitute a fact, leaving room for maneuver. Now, Zhuang Shuren finally didn't have to sign, and as for his reputation, he could only set it aside.

After he came out, he realized that his clothes were soaked. He thought angrily about the recent events, feeling like he was being played. Who was to blame? General Qin? Or that Liu Qing?

"General Qin, I'm a little worried. Will your actions negatively affect your reputation within our military-industrial system?" The leader of the bureau said in the meeting room.

"We need to compete, to squeeze out those factories that are just lying around waiting for the higher-ups to feed them. It's inevitable that it will cause dissatisfaction among some people. My reputation has never been good anyway," Qin Yang said. "Even if they make a voodoo doll and stick my name on its back to stab me, I wouldn't care."

"We don't believe in that stuff. Let's talk business. Are you confident about the bidding in three days?"

"What confidence can I have? Someone might pop up out of nowhere," Qin Yang said. "Our Factory 960 isn't a miracle worker. It's normal for business to be snatched away. However, formal bidding isn't child's play. After the bidding, samples must be produced within fifteen days. If they don't meet the standards, we'll have to demand compensation from them, to prevent them from flocking here to offer low prices and ultimately failing to deliver. At that time, we'll grab an example, bankrupt and shut them down, as a warning to others!"

This is the consequence of daring to spread rumors about Qin Yang! A storm is about to brew in the military-industrial system! Of course, this matter wasn't something that the bureau leader could decide. Secretary Song reported it to the old leader, and the old leader's attitude was supportive! So now, they could only let Qin Yang do as he pleased, hoping that nothing major would happen.

The name was changed to Type 69 tank mainly because it was equipped with a 100mm smoothbore gun. However, with the Type 69-II, it was changed back to the original 100mm rifled gun, making it even more difficult to distinguish. The outside is almost the same, you have to look inside.

The Type 59 tank was limited by domestic technical conditions at the time, and was not equipped with an infrared night vision device, nor was it equipped with a two-way gun stabilizer. By the time of the Type 69 tank, these were all realized, but the infrared searchlight is also available on the Type 59 modification, and the two-way stabilizer is not visible from the outside.

The Type 59 tank does not have the ability to fire on the move. It can only rumble along for a while, screech to a halt, fire a shot with a boom, and then rumble again. This is not only because the fire control system doesn't support it, but more importantly because it lacks a two-way gun stabilizer.

The tank is bumpy. Without a two-way stabilizer, the tank gun would also shake with the tank, so at the moment of firing, if the vehicle shakes, the shell is sure to fly off course.

The two-way stabilizer comes into play, no matter how the vehicle shakes, the gun barrel never shakes!

How is it done?

In fact, it's very simple, just install two gyroscopes to measure the tank's movement state. When the state changes, it immediately outputs a signal to adjust the rotation of the turret and the pitch of the gun barrel. How much it changes, how much it adjusts back, so that dynamic stabilization can be achieved.

Of course, in this era, there are no advanced computers. Compensation can be performed by relying on mechanical and analog circuits, which tests the engineer's level even more.

In addition to these, the engine was replaced with a 580-horsepower engine, which increased the engine output power compared to the Type 59 tank. This is even simpler. The engine is produced by Shanchai, and Factory 617 is also just purchasing it.

"Okay."

After talking with the bureau leader, Qin Yang left the meeting room. He had just gotten on his sidecar to go home when he was stopped.

"General Qin, General Qin, please wait!"

Qin Yang turned his head and looked at Wang Lin, who was waiting there: "What's the matter?"

"General Qin, we were wrong about the last time. Look, do you have time to have a meal together?"

Qin Yang shook his head: "Factory Director Wang, the bidding is about to start. During this time, it's not convenient for me to have dinner with you, otherwise people will see it and start gossiping, and accuse me of wrongdoing. I, Qin Yang, am really afraid."

Wang Lin was a little embarrassed.

"However, if you don't have a car to go back to the guest house, I can give you a ride."

"Okay, okay." Wang Lin nodded repeatedly, and then got into the sidecar.

"General Qin, you are really amazing. At such a young age, you can carry out reforms so boldly. Our country needs to develop, the military industry needs to develop, and we need talents like you."

"Factory Director Wang, you flatter me. I don't know how many people are scolding me."

"Our Factory 617 will definitely not. We all respect you very much, except for that Liu Qing. By the way, General Qin, have you invited YTO to participate in this bidding?"

"What's wrong, are you afraid?"

"What are we afraid of?" Wang Lin said: "Our Factory 617 is a large tank manufacturing factory. Only we can produce hundreds or even thousands of tanks. I just don't know if YTO will maliciously bid."

Malicious bidding, malicious not having children, malicious not buying a house… These words appeared in Qin Yang's mind, and his heart became a little emotional.

"We will introduce relevant policies to curb this phenomenon. If anyone offers a low price but then fails to produce the goods, the consequences will be very serious."

Wang Lin suddenly thought of Zhuang Shuren. He had been waiting for Qin Yang outside, and he had also seen Zhuang Shuren coming out of the office. His face was as white as paper. It seemed that offering a low price had already caused problems!

"Factory Director Wang, our relationship was originally very good, and I don't want there to be any misunderstandings. Your relationship with YTO should also be good. During these days of preparation, you can also interact with each other, especially as the host of the military-industrial system, you can go to welcome them."

Wang Lin's eyes lit up, he understood completely!

"Thank you, General Qin!"
