Chapter 718: Too much new equipment is also a worry
Yan Yongnian’s question is basically a straight shot——
“This military parade is very good, can I also watch it? See? ”
In fact, it’s common sense.
It’s difficult.
Because the term "military industry mouth" of the Science and Technology Commission basically refers to military equipment research and development personnel.
Chang Haonan was included because he was responsible for the research and development of the Taihang project.
Otherwise, at this moment, thirteen of the twelve military-industrial groups would be engaged in real estate as a sideline business, so the scope would be a bit too big.
But it’s not completely impossible.
As Yan Yongnian said just now, the first production task of this die forging press is the J-11B body.
"Professor Yan, don't worry first."
Chang Haonan said, wrapping the model and putting it in a bag:
"The invitation list for the military parade is issued in batches, and the last one The batch should not be confirmed until the end of August or the beginning of September, so as long as we don’t cause any problems during trial production as a gift for the National Day, the chances should be great.”
Yan Yongnian’s eyes lit up.
At the 35th anniversary military parade, he was still working in the old Ministry of Machinery Industry.
Coincidentally, we are also working on a die forging press.
It’s just that I didn’t produce any particularly iconic results, so I didn’t even think about being invited to the ceremony.
And if he waits another ten years, he will definitely have retired, and it is even less likely that he will be specially invited here.
Yan Yongnian still has this kind of self-knowledge.
So this year is basically his only chance.
……
At the same time.
Tongzhou, Zhangjiawan.
A convoy of more than a dozen HY4731 semi-trailers, with double flashes, slowly drove into the temporary camp that had just been set up.
At the end of the queue, there were two buses following.
Parade Village.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, since the military parade was held every National Day, but the scale was not large, the military parade troops were basically drawn from the vicinity of the capital, and training was conducted in their respective camps.
But later, as the frequency of military parades decreased, the scale increased accordingly, and the units to be reviewed began to be drawn from across the country.
So we need a place to put all the reference personnel and equipment together for joint training.
It also gives those foreign troops a place to station themselves.
So there were two military parade villages located around the capital.
The one located in Zhangjiawan is where the vehicle formation is stationed for training.
Another one for the hiking team is located in Shahe.
The nature of the air force formation is quite special, so it still adopts the mode of dispersed training during normal times, and then moves to the vicinity of the capital during the final joint training stage.
Under the command of the management of the parade village, the escorting soldiers jumped down from the truck cab and quickly untied the cables fixing the tank.
At the same time, the crewmen drawn from an armored division at the foot of Yanshan also stepped off the bus, found the tank with the corresponding number in groups of three, and climbed into their respective positions with unskilled movements.
18 vehicles in total.
About one-third of them were just pulled from the test track, so the surface of the car body is covered with a thick layer of sediment.
Soon after, a slightly smaller group of people wearing casual clothes got off another bus.
It is easy to see from their movements that they have not received any military training and should not be reference personnel.
The same groups came to the tank, but there were only two people in each group.
One of them came to the back of the trailer and started to give instructions to unload the truck. The other one was lying on the car body, watching the driver's movements closely, and giving some guidance from time to time.
The vehicle crew members during the test process are all employees of the research institute or manufacturer, but the military parade will definitely still require the participation of the People's Liberation Army.
Therefore, the 54 selected training backbones have only operated this latest model of third-generation main battle tank on a simulator before.
This is my first time touching a real car.
In fact, they even had a fourth member of the vehicle crew in the original unit. However, with the continuous development of military technology, the two third-generation tanks that will participate in the parade no longer have a second gunner. (i.e. the loader).
“Buzz——”
Soon, the first tank spewed out a puff of black smoke on the flatbed truck, and the low-frequency roar of the diesel engine almost resounded throughout the entire parade village.
For some experienced tank soldiers, they can tell that the diesel engine used in this tank is quite powerful just from the sound at the moment of startup.
The perception of tank soldiers sitting in the car will be more obvious.
The first driver to shift into reverse gear and release the brakes was immediately startled by the huge torque, and almost subconsciously stepped on the brakes again.
The newly designed suspension and chassis allow the nearly 50-ton tank to stop stably on the trailer board in an instant, with almost no trace of nodding back and forth.
But the trailer below suffered.
The rated load of the Type 82 tank trailer itself is 50 tons. Now that the tank moves on it, the trailer suspension immediately makes an overwhelming and harsh sound.
Fortunately, it was finally removed without incident.
And such a big movement here has already attracted the attention of other troops being reviewed who are also stationed in the parade village.
Even for most of the insiders, this is the first time this type of tank has appeared in front of them.
The impact brought by the King of Land Warfare is difficult to match with other equipment, no matter how advanced it is.
If nothing else, just the tank gun, which visually measures about 6 meters in length, and the tank's crisp starting posture, are enough to show the extraordinary performance of this model.
Especially for the crew members of another tank formation originally stationed somewhere in Yanjiao -
Behind them, although the chassis also has six pairs of road wheels, the turret is still an 88B with a jar head. In an instant, It becomes unsatisfactory...
On the simulated rostrum further away, several commanders receiving the review were also watching the unloading process here through the telescopes in their hands.
“This should be the last batch here in Zhangjiahe, right?”
General Li Liangxin, the commander-in-chief of the parade, put the telescope aside and looked at the chief instructor of the vehicle formation next to him, who was also the commander-in-chief of the parade. Yang Hong, the general manager of Zhangjiawan Parade Village asked.
"They are the last batch of reference equipment."
The latter quickly put down the telescope and replied:
"There are two backup trucks of 9910 engineering trucks behind because they are still on the production line. , so it won’t be delivered until next month.”
“Alas...”
Li Liangxin sighed, the joyful expression on his face just now has been replaced by worry:
"The equipment for this military parade... is really too new."
He shook his head and continued with complicated emotions:
"The year before last, I received a document and was transferred to the Beijing Military Region. While here, I made a list of the planned reference equipment in advance, and found that whether on the ground or in the air, the so-called 'new' equipment was the batch that was put into service in the early 1990s. It has been in the hands of the army for several years. It was the stage with the best integration and stability. At that time, I was still relieved, thinking that the pressure of military parade command should not be too great.” Except for the rifles of the foot formation which have not been moved at all, basically everything has been changed..."
"The aircraft are new, the tanks are new, and the missiles are also new. The new ones... are not only new, but there are also many prototype equipment that are in the finalization process. If something goes wrong on the day of the military parade, I am afraid I will become a sinner in history..."
For the first time, Li Liangxin felt that equipment was updated too quickly, which sometimes was not necessarily a good thing.
"Commander, in fact, our air equipment is not new..."
Zheng Liangqun, the only one wearing an Air Force uniform next to him, replied half-jokingly:
"Comrades from the aviation industry also told me that it is expected that the latest improved version of Project 11 using a new airframe, avionics and engine will begin test flights in the middle of this year, and asked me if I could also consider joining. In Project 9910, there is also a 10-ton helicopter called Zhi-12..."
"Don't..."
He was interrupted mid-sentence by Li Liangxin, who had already put on a mask of pain:
"Now these prototype equipment are causing me insomnia and hair loss every night. If there are two more new ones, it will be the least likely to happen. Aerial equipment, the Mediterranean Sea above my head is probably going to turn into the Pacific Ocean..."
