Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 45 Squad Weapon System
Jiang Chen's leisurely life can't last too long, he still has a lot of work to do.For example, although the research and development of the rocket launcher has been divided into various parts, Jiang Chen still needs to control it overall, and he also needs to act as a bridge between the researchers of the Institute of Aeronautics and the production workers of the B[-] factory.For example, a certain part is designed like this, but it may be changed for some reasons during the production process.However, because different levels of knowledge have different outlooks on life and values, their views are naturally different, and the debate eventually turns into a quarrel.This is very common in various research projects, and Jiang Chen has also experienced it. For example, when developing and producing sniper rifles, he had different opinions and quarreled with the technical workers who produced them. In the end, it was Secretary Xu Shijie who came forward to mediate to solve the problem.

The development process of the rocket is progressing very fast. Now that the overall design on paper has been completed, what we need to do now is to refine these designs and try to produce them, and then print them one by one to compare the various data and make modifications. .Of course, this kind of work is also very dangerous. For this reason, Jiang Chen specially transferred a Jiefang truck from the factory to pull the equipment and samples to an uninhabited beach more than ten miles away for testing, but accidents still occurred frequently.For example, in one test, a rocket actually turned in the air after being fired and then flew near the concealed workers and exploded. The debris stirred up by the shock wave injured two or three workers.Fortunately, it was only a minor injury. Jiang Chen was also sweating for these testers. In order to obtain the most detailed data, they always wanted to get closer, but how dangerous it was.For this reason, Jiang Chen also specially ordered them to be strictly prohibited from approaching the test site again. Even if they fired a few more rounds, they could not risk their lives. Once something happened to someone, everything would be gone.

Of course, what this order brings is a several-fold increase in scientific research funds, which is also a big challenge for the factory's already small finances.For this reason, the leaders of the factory had many quarrels, and the result of the discussion was to reduce the expenditure in other places.For example, the leaders seldom drive when they go out, and the saved fuel is used for the trucks that transport test equipment. Jiang Chen has no face to use the fuel in the factory anymore, and now he buys fuel out of his own pocket.Of course, these were not enough. In the end, Jiang Chen used part of the funds for sniper rifles to fill the hole. This method must be inappropriate, but the military representative did not say anything after seeing that the production of sniper rifles was not affected. what.

After this aspect has come to an end, it cannot be said that it has come to an end, it can only be said that it has stabilized after a period of busy work.Now B[-]'s main job is to prepare for next year's exhibition. This is their best opportunity, so they have to prepare well.Other factories were also very envious when they heard that B[-] had won this quota. Of course, they did not hesitate to apply, but they had no equipment to offer and could only fail.Now they are all looking at B[-], if they are negligent, they will be unable to hold their heads up in the whole system.

For this reason, Jiang Chen suggested that the factory check the weapons that have been produced and sealed for a long time, and then collectively register and register them, and eliminate the old, damaged and poorly crafted remnants. OK to reclassify and stack.The factory leader agreed to Jiang Chen's suggestion and appointed a leadership team including him to organize the work.Except for some old workers who are giving guidance, the main body responsible for the transportation is the personnel who are still in training. Anyway, these people don’t need money.

But this sorting made Jiang Chen and the leaders of the next factory jump. The number of weapons and equipment is really amazing. There are no less than [-] scattered pieces. This number can be equipped with a small neutral country. power up.Moreover, the types of firearms here are amazing, and even the old sleeves before liberation, the middle type, the [-]th cover, the speed machine, the Czech type, the Maxim, etc. were found.Jiang Chen was amazed at this, all of these can be compared with building a small military equipment museum.When a leader proposed to dismantle them and put them back into the furnace, Jiang Chen stopped them.Most of them are equipment that has been imitated or repaired by this factory before, so it is a pity to return them to the furnace.Jiang Chen decided to keep some of the better quality and let some old workers re-seal them later. He had an idea. After a while, the factory improved and the funds were abundant. He wanted to build a small equipment museum to display these equipments. He always visited them. People tell the glorious history of this factory.

Looking at these weapons being stacked, Jiang Chen was thinking how to sell them?It is definitely impossible to sell it to the country. Now that the disarmament is being gradually carried out, the army will definitely not want it. Those who have retreated do not know what to do.Besides, there are many scattered military factories in China, and most of them have the same experience as B[-], all for the purpose of producing more and preparing for war.For a little military supplies, these factories swarmed like sharks smelling blood, and Jiang Chen couldn't bear to fight with them.So now the most important thing is to compete for foreign orders, and participating in the defense exhibition this time is their best opportunity.But this is also a problem. They are definitely not the only ones participating in the defense exhibition, and they are not the only ones in China. How can we be more competitive?How to stand out from these massive dumping factories?This is the most important thing they want to think about now.

"Xiao Jiang, what are you thinking?" Chen Guorong, Director Chen, looked at the dazed Jiang Chen and asked curiously.

"No, Uncle Chen, I have an idea but it hasn't been perfected yet." Jiang Chen responded with a smile.

"Oh? What's your idea? Let's talk about it." Chen Guorong asked, he was very curious about what kind of crazy idea this kid had.

"No, I was thinking, how do we sell these weapons and equipment, you must know that there are many domestic manufacturers participating in the defense exhibition, we have no advantage at all." Jiang Chen replied.

When Chen Guorong heard the words, he immediately put away his smile, lit a cigarette and said with a serious expression: "Well, this is a problem, and I heard that these factories have kept their prices very low, and even lost money. They come back to rely on export subsidies to make money."

Jiang Chen also nodded when he heard the words. He knows what some factories are doing now. They dump a large amount of cheap weapons and equipment to other countries at low prices, and make profits through the foreign exchange differences between their own country and other countries.This phenomenon is very crazy in this era. These cheap weapons enter the market and then flow into other countries, which seriously damages the commercial weapons production system of other countries. Finally, some countries even legislate to ban the import of such weapons.Jiang Chen didn't want to do this, he had to come up with a new plan to open up sales.He thought of a new plan:
"I'm now wondering if we can sell the weapons as a package."

"Pack it up?" Chen Guorong asked.

"Yes, I call it the team weapon system plan." Jiang Chen replied.

"Squad weapon system plan, what do you mean?" Chen Guorong asked again.

Looking at Chen Guorong's anxious expression, Jiang Chen explained with a smile: "This so-called team weapon combination plan is to package and sell the weapons of the most basic combat units of the army. It can include rifles, light machine guns, rocket launchers and sniper weapons." Rifles, etc. form a system for sale. Of course, this system can also be freely added or subtracted, so that we will pay more attention to it when we are on sale, which is beneficial to our sales.”

"Well, this idea is bold and novel, but others have these weapons, and they can easily learn them." Chen Guorong said worriedly.

Jiang Chen smiled and said to himself: "Yes, they have it, and they can learn it. But we have what they don't have, such as our sniper rifle and the rocket launcher we are developing, which they don't have. We can sell them together, so as to drive The sale of these old products so they can’t learn.”

"Haha, good idea, use the new ones to drive the old ones and package them up for sale. You are such a profiteer!" Chen Guorong's worries disappeared in an instant, and he laughed heartily: "Let's go, let's go back and have a meeting with Lao Xu and the others to discuss it."

Jiang Chen grabbed Chen Guorong who was about to leave and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Uncle Chen, I have a new idea."

Chen Guorong, who was pulled back, turned around and looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, "You guys have any other good ideas, tell me quickly."

"It looks like this, Uncle Chen, I want to develop a new type of weapon to increase the core competitiveness of our factory." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"What is the new weapon?" Chen Guorong put away his smile and said worriedly: "This morning, we still have insufficient funds. It is very difficult to develop [-]mm rocket launchers. It will be very difficult to develop new weapons."

"Uncle Chen, I have thought about this. In fact, this or this set of weapons I want to develop is related to our factory, so it won't cost much." Jiang Chen comforted with a smile.

"Oh, it's also related to our factory, tell me quickly." Chen Guorong said with interest, this kid gave him too many surprises today.

"It's like this, Uncle Chen, you know that our factory's strength lies in the manufacture of firearms, so I want to use our factory's original technological advantages to develop and produce brand new firearms." Jiang Chen expressed his thoughts.

"A brand new firearm?" Chen Guorong was puzzled.

"Yes, to be precise, it is a brand new assault rifle. There are several variants based on it. There is a carbine type for fighting in small spaces, and a light machine gun type for fire suppression. There are also precision shooting ones. High-precision rifle type, these weapons are deformed and produced on the same platform, so all parts can be used in common, and the ammunition can also be used with each other, which makes it more suitable for the new squad weapon system in the future battlefield environment." Jiang Chen described in detail The knowledge stored in the brain briefly explained to Chen Guorong.

"Well, your idea is very advanced. To be honest, I am still in shock. You let me digest it and give you an answer tomorrow. And this plan has to be discussed and decided by the Standing Committee. You know this is the organizational procedure .” Chen Guorong explained to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen replied with a smile: "This is what it should be. After all, such a big matter still depends on everyone's concerted efforts to complete it."

"Well, it's good that you understand, let's go, I'll go back and digest it first." Chen Guorong smiled and walked towards the setting sun with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Chen looked at the sunset in the distance with a knowing smile on his face.
