The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

"Director, are the driving of these three equipments the same?"

Li Fuguo looked at Liu Tao.

The three equipments look the same, but they are different.

"Almost the same, there won't be much difference, they are all automatic." Liu Tao smiled faintly.

The three soldiers who followed Li Fuguo opened the hatch, started the car and drove away slowly.

Li Fuguo stayed in Panshan Machinery Factory. Speaking of others who were busy with the reform, he was the most relaxed and there was no change at all.

The main focus is still on the synthetic brigade. As for the security forces directly under the armed forces, they have not changed.

The security forces of each factory are directly under the armed forces of Panshan Group. There is only one head of the security department in each factory.

Unlike Zhao Guoping, who was so busy that he had to work until the early morning when he went to the synthetic brigade. And he used to stay in the army, but now he only goes to the synthetic brigade for two days a week at most, leaving more things to the deputy political commissar.

Li Fuguo was quite sympathetic to his partner, but also admired him.

Although young, he is serious about his work and has no problem being a good person.

Li Fuguo has no objection to Zhao Guoping ranking ahead of him now, and he is also happy for his partner.

"Go to the Higher Military Academy, listen more, watch more, and learn more. There are many hidden talents there." Liu Tao waved his hand at the cigarette handed over by Li Fuguo. He occasionally smokes, but he doesn't smoke normally. "Read more books and study more war cases, but they can't be regarded as the Bible. Times are changing. The combined brigade is an army facing the future. It is not entirely appropriate to use the past to fit it."

Liu Tao gave Li Fuguo some advice.

Li Fuguo was the head of the main regiment before, but in the final analysis, he was only a regimental-level cadre and a mid-level commander.

The military school he attended was only a mid-level military academy.

But the Higher Military Academy is different. Its predecessor was the Military Academy. The first dean was Liu Shuai, the second dean was Ye Shuai, and the third and fourth deans were both extraordinary figures. They were the commander of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division and the chief of staff of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division during the Anti-Japanese War.

In 1970, the Higher Military Academy merged with the Military Academy and the Political Academy to form the Military and Political University. In 1977, the higher authorities decided to abolish the Military and Political University and restore the Military Academy, the Political Academy and the Logistics Academy.

The Higher Military Academy moved to Beijing to train senior commanders.

It can be said that the students there are all hidden dragons and crouching tigers, especially the teachers, principals, vice principals, etc., who are all extraordinary people.

Li Fuguo nodded with a solemn look, knowing that this opportunity was very rare for him.

And he also found that his command ability was indeed not up to par, and he needed more systematic learning to better lead the combined brigade.

"When you get there, closed management is implemented. No matter what promotion you encounter, you can call me on this number. This is my home phone number in Beijing." Liu Tao tore off a piece of paper, then picked up a pen and wrote down the address and phone number on it.

Li Fuguo carefully put the paper away.

"We are now fully producing tanks, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and corresponding artillery shells. You don't need to urge us for the equipment of your combined brigade. There are no extras even if you urge us. We will give you at least one per month, and at most two." Liu Tao said: "Most of them will be used for export. This is the condition for the order. The ones produced can be given to you for training first."

Most of the ones given to the combined brigade in the past month are export trade versions.

As for the self-use version, the number is very small.

There is no way. The production is limited now, and there is a lot of pressure on the order.

The troops have placed three batches of orders, 1,000 Type 81 medium tanks, 500 Type 81 light tanks, 200 Type 81 amphibious tanks, and 1,000 Type 81 infantry fighting vehicles, all of which are required to be delivered within three to five years.

Liu Tao is now very afraid that Li Fuguo will ask him for the equipment of the combined brigade, because the combined brigade is still far from being fully equipped.

He is under great pressure now.

The additional order from Iraq has made more money, but it has also disrupted the production plan, causing a sharp increase in the pressure of delivering orders.

Adding the orders from the troops, Liu Tao wanted to split himself into three halves, or even ten halves!

The Type 80 main battle tank and the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun for self-use are not only needed by the combined brigade, but also purchased by the troops in a hurry, just like a ghost.

It happened that because he had previously pushed for the export of a large number of Type 59 tanks and other active equipment of the troops, the armor of the troops' tanks was reduced by more than 30%. People were holding on to this point, which made him feel guilty.

Li Fuguo touched his head embarrassedly when he heard Liu Tao say this.

As he walked, he saw technicians driving tanks. Li Fuguo recognized them at once. They were Type 81 light tanks, Type 81 medium tanks and Type 81 amphibious tanks. Judging from the direction they were driving, these tanks were heading to the railway station. The railway station was not far from here, and it was obvious that they were going to be loaded and shipped out and delivered to the troops.

Li Fuguo counted them and found that there were 20 Type 81 light tanks, 15 Type 81 medium tanks, 5 Type 81 amphibious tanks, and 15 infantry fighting vehicles.

"Director, our output is so large now?" Li Fuguo was a little surprised.

"These tanks were produced and shipped from Factory 256. We found and solved the problems here, and only sent them out after they were qualified." Liu Tao explained: "Our factory only provides core parts, such as main guns and engines."

As one of the core leaders of Panshan Group, Li Fuguo is naturally qualified to know these, but Li Fuguo usually does not know them specifically.

"Factory 256 now produces about 35 Type 81 light tanks, 25 Type 81 medium tanks, 5 Type 81 amphibious tanks, and 35 infantry fighting vehicles per month, but the production capacity is still climbing." Liu Tao said that some of them were supported by Panshan Machinery Factory, and some were experts mobilized by the Fifth Machine Department.

But so far, none of the tanks shipped from Factory 256 have been qualified.

He used the golden finger to repair the defects of these tanks.

In order to earn upgrade points, he also has to manufacture at least five of each type of tank per month.

Otherwise, the upgrade points are not enough.

On the contrary, the errors in the Type 80 main battle tanks and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns produced by Panshan Machinery Factory are rapidly decreasing. It is expected that in another half a year, the Type 80 main battle tanks and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns produced will be qualified.

"The output is so high? Doesn't that mean that the annual output of Factory 256 can reach almost 1,200 tanks?" Li Fuguo said in shock.

The annual output of 1,200 tanks is definitely a very amazing data.

You should know that ten years ago, the annual output of the First Machine Factory was less than 200 Type 59 tanks.

Later, with the maturity of the technology, the annual output of Type 59 tanks reached 500~1,500.

Liu Tao couldn't help but mutter in his heart that theoretically the output could reach 1,200 tanks, but the problem was that none of these produced tanks were qualified, and there were a lot of problems.

There is this output because Panshan Machinery Factory provides the main core components such as the main gun and engine, and he has a golden finger.
