Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"Of course, there is." Qin Yang nodded: "If you want to talk about the highest cost-effectiveness, it's definitely self-propelled anti-tank guns. We have advanced 120mm self-propelled anti-tank guns in China, which can completely blast the world's most advanced tanks into scrap with one shot."

Hearing Qin Yang's words, Marani's face immediately lit up: "Really? That's great! Are these self-propelled anti-tank guns expensive?"

Weapons with great power should also be very expensive, right?

"Not expensive, only the price of two Type 69 tanks." Qin Yang said: "If you need it, I can take you to see it."

Take a look?

Great!

Thinking that the Iraqis already had advanced tanks with 125mm cannons, they were filled with a sense of urgency. Now, if they could buy weapons to defeat their enemies, that would be great.

"Where is it?"

"Also in Prairie City, I'll take you to another factory."

"Okay."

Just like that, the two arrived at the Second Machine Factory.

Prairie City has two key enterprises, one is the First Machine Factory that produces tanks, and the other is the Second Machine Factory that specializes in making cannons. Qin Yang also has a lot of entanglement with this Second Machine Factory, or rather, there used to be a lot of competition. But now, the Second Machine Factory is already one of Qin Yang's best partners.

Qin Yang's arrival at the Second Machine Factory made the people here very excited, especially Zhuang Shuren.

"President Qin, welcome to our Second Machine Factory. This military parade, our..." Zhuang Shuren was about to say that the Second Machine Factory's most advanced self-propelled anti-tank gun was also in the military parade, but he saw the guests beside Qin Yang, so he couldn't continue.

"We're here this time because of customer needs. Lao Zhuang, show our customers the most advanced self-propelled anti-tank gun in your factory."

Customers want to buy our self-propelled anti-tank guns? Zhuang Shuren was first stunned, then overjoyed: "Okay!"

"Our self-propelled anti-tank gun uses a 120mm smoothbore gun. Although this gun has the same caliber as Western guns, the ammunition is not universal because we use a large combustion chamber design, which has more propellant and stronger power. It can tear apart the main armor of any tank in the world." Zhuang Shuren introduced as he walked.

In fact, the power of this gun is not as great as the 125mm tank gun produced by Factory 960, especially with limited potential, so it ultimately failed in the bidding. However, this gun still has room to play. Domestically, there is a 321 chassis, which, when combined, becomes a self-propelled anti-tank gun.

From the surface, self-propelled anti-tank guns and tanks are the same. They both have tracks, are made of steel, and have turrets and cannons. However, the two are completely different designs.

Tanks charge into battle and have thick armor. Self-propelled anti-tank guns are mainly used to fight tanks and only have a thin layer of steel plate, which can only defend against shrapnel.

Currently, Iran is in the midst of a counterattack and needs tanks. This defensive self-propelled anti-tank gun is actually not suitable for Iranian equipment. However, precisely because of this, it must be sold to the Iranians. President Qin has always been impartial.

"For convenient loading, we use a rear fighting compartment and move the engine to the front. Moreover, the engine is compatible with the Type 69 tank, which can reduce your logistical needs."

"We have installed an advanced fire control system on this equipment, which can greatly improve shooting accuracy and is easy to operate."

Just like that, everyone walked and talked, finally arriving at the production workshop.

Because this equipment has not been mass-equipped in the army, and was only selected for the military parade project, it was decided to urgently produce a batch. Now the production line is busy producing, which also gives customers the illusion that this is the main weapon equipment of the East!

In fact, the Second Machine Factory only makes cannons. This self-propelled anti-tank gun is the first complete vehicle they have made, and many stories have happened during the process. Zhuang Shuren is very grateful to Qin Yang. It is because this project was placed in the Second Machine Factory that they have the opportunity to participate in the military parade with main equipment, winning them more honor.

Looking at the prototype vehicle being manufactured, Marani widened his eyes.

This cannon barrel is thick and long!

This vehicle body is also very large, and the design looks very good!

"This is your self-propelled anti-tank gun?"

"Yes, currently the world's most advanced self-propelled anti-tank gun." Qin Yang said: "The price of two million is half the price of the equipment your opponents are purchasing, and the performance is not bad at all, and some indicators may even be more advanced."

"Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Because this is our main equipment. You probably also know that we will hold a military parade next year. According to the plan, we will officially announce it to the public next year. You are the first customer."

Next year's military parade equipment, and we are the first customer!

Definitely not! The customer will think the tank is useless.

Qin Yang will not sell this cheap weapon.

"Of course, there are cheaper ones, but they can't penetrate our most advanced tanks." Qin Yang said: "The weapon I'm selling is the most suitable for you."

Marani nodded, that's right, that's the East's most advanced tank, it certainly won't be defeated by crude weapons.

"We do have a towed version of this anti-tank gun, which is cheaper than the self-propelled version, but the mobility is too poor. If you want it, we can also sell you a batch of this towed version."

Looking at the towering cannon barrel of the self-propelled anti-tank gun, Qin Yang still softened.

This cannon has to be sold for 500,000 US dollars each, to bring more business to the Second Machine Factory.

Marani's eyes lit up. That's right, the power of this self-propelled anti-tank gun is reflected in the cannon, and the expense is also because of the chassis. As long as you only buy the cannon, it will definitely be much cheaper.

"Okay, we will also purchase a batch of towed self-propelled anti-tank guns. I can make the decision on this and can place an order immediately."

"Since that's the case, let's go sign the contract. We can ship it with this month's Type 69 tanks."
