When Mr. Jiang heard Zhou Yang's reminder, he fell silent for a moment.
This issue is also what they are most worried about at this time. As Zhou Yang said, production capacity and yield rate can be easily solved.
The real trouble is the equipment and ammunition that have been produced, especially the ammunition. If that thing is not up to standard, it will really kill people.
The equipment is relatively good, including guns, cannons, and even tank radars. If there are any problems, you can tell by firing a few rounds of live ammunition. This is still easy to verify.
But what about all that ammunition?
Whether this thing has quality problems or whether it is a dud will only be known after it is fired.
You can't just shoot out all these ammunition just to verify whether the quality is up to standard!
Of course, in addition to the above methods, there are other methods to check whether ammunition is qualified, but these methods are relatively backward and time-consuming.
If the quantity is not large, it is okay to detect them one by one, but the problem is that the current ammunition inventory in the military is an astronomical number.
In the past decade or so, in order to cope with the possibility of war at any time, major military industrial units across the country have been working overtime to produce.
Over the years, even the military itself does not know how much ammunition hundreds of military industrial units across the country have produced.
For example, the Type 67 grenades, the inventory of the Equipment Department alone has reached more than 2 billion, and this does not include those distributed to the troops!
That’s right, it’s 2 billion!
In the words of a military leader, this amount of ammunition is enough to fight several world wars, which shows how huge our inventory is!
The most important thing is that the equipment department can only count the inventories of various arsenals. As for the ammunition that has been distributed to field troops and militia units, there is no way to count them one by one. There are too many.
After taking a deep breath, Mr. Jiang said in a deep voice: "Why don't we know what you guys are talking about? It's just that the amount of this project is too large, and we don't have the ability to comprehensively inspect so many ammunition!"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "No matter how large the project volume is, it must be done. As the terminal load to damage the target, whether the ammunition is qualified or not is really important."
"Fighters disappear in a blink of an eye on the battlefield, especially when fighting fortified areas. Every opportunity to attack is bought by soldiers with their lives. If the ammunition cannot be fired or does not explode after being fired, then you are screwed!"
Mr. Jiang nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "But we lack a sufficient number of ammunition inspectors..."
"Whatever you are missing, cultivate it now!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "If we really don't have that many manpower, then we can start inspecting small batches of ammunition before the war starts. No matter what, we must ensure that every ammunition sent to the front line is qualified." of!"
When speaking, Zhou Yang's tone was very solemn.
He thought of "Little Beijing" and "Liang Sanxi". The movie was of limited duration, and the description of substandard ammunition was only one or two scenes, and due to political factors, there was no in-depth description of the matter.
But it is conceivable that director Xie Jin can use precious footage to describe this section, which is enough to show that the ammunition is not up to standard.
This can be seen in the grief, anger and helplessness of the company commander Liang Sanxi after the death of Little Beijing. It is obvious that not only "Little Beijing" was sacrificed due to ammunition problems, and this is why Zhou Yang deliberately made this incident Come up with the reasons.
"You're right. Although difficulties exist objectively, you can't do nothing just because you have difficulties."
Then Mr. Jiang continued: "I will make arrangements when I get back to conduct a comprehensive inspection of all ammunition in stock from now on. Although I cannot guarantee that all the ammunition sent to the front line will be qualified, I will try my best to ensure that the ammunition shipped to the front line is qualified!"
"Okay, if there is anything you need from our research institute, just give us the order!" Zhou Yang said.
Mr. Jiang smiled and said: "You have done enough and well enough. I will keep an eye on them to correct the problems in other units. You just need to keep up this momentum!"
"yes!"
At this time, Mr. Jiang said again: "By the way, the Military Agency Bureau of Saibei Province submitted a funding allocation application to the Military Commission two days ago, requesting that the superiors settle your unit's equipment purchase funds as soon as possible. Do you know about this?"
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I really don't know the specific situation, but I did talk to Comrade Yun Changjie some time ago, and I hope he will ask the military to settle the owed procurement fees as soon as possible, otherwise Our research institute really can’t uncover the pot..."
"As for that, I know that your company made a lot of money last year. It is a real landlord. How can you have no money?" Jiang Lao said.
"Chief, we did have a lot of surplus last year, but we also spent a lot. This year we jointly launched several projects with Qingcheng and NPU, but we spent a lot of money, and the landlords didn't have any surplus food!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "If we were the only unit, it wouldn't be a big deal. We would just tighten our belts and endure it. It's not like we've never had a hard time."
"But you also know that whether it is artillery sight radar or airborne radar, our unit cannot produce it. There are hundreds and dozens of brother units that supply parts to our research institute. This year, everyone Life is not going well, and now we are all waiting for money..."
Mr. Jiang was silent for a moment, and then directly interrupted Zhou Yang: "You kid, don't cry about poverty with me. It's useless to cry about poverty. Now the ministry has no money."
"It is true that the military cannot afford the 57.9 million yuan in procurement fees owed to you all at once. So after discussion, the ministry decided to allocate half to you first and settle the balance at the end of the year. But you The production speed cannot be reduced!”
Zhou Yang smiled bitterly and said: "I understand what you mean, you just need money and you can't let go of your work?"
"Isn't this half allocated for you? You can make do with it first, and the rest will be given to you by the end of the year!" said Mr. Jiang.
"I'm afraid this half is not even enough for the supply funds of our brother units. I can see that you are here to inspect this and that. You are obviously afraid that we will give up and come here to beat us!"
"What do you mean by beating... Hey... Just beat it. The ministry is really in trouble right now. In order to deal with those white-eyed wolves, the entire Military Commission is eager to split a penny in half and spend it!"
To be honest, Mr. Jiang himself felt that this matter was a bit unjustifiable.
Compared with other military research units, the Babaoliang Research Institute is particularly worry-free. It does not cause trouble and does not usually go to the ministry to ask for funds.
Unlike leaders of other units, they would come to the capital every now and then, begging for money, and would not leave until they gave it. Some leaders even stopped going back to their units and simply lived in the capital.
The most important thing is that the annual funding of the Babaoliang Research Institute is really very small. Most of the projects are funded by themselves. If they were not really short of money, he would like to allocate more to them.
Not only is there not much research funding now, but even their purchase money cannot be settled at once, and they still have to be owed, which makes Mr. Jiang feel very uncomfortable...
Zhou Yang could also see that Mr. Jiang was indeed in trouble. Thinking of the domestic economic situation in recent years, he also fell silent.
"or..."
"or..."
The two spoke almost at the same time, but stopped at the same time.
"Speak first, kid!"
Zhou Yang nodded, and then said: "Just half, I will settle the money from my brother's unit first, and then we will find a solution for the funding gap of our unit, but you always have to do our institute a favor!"
"You really know how to choose the right time to speak. Tell me what you're doing. As long as it's not too much, I'll accept it!" Jiang Lao said.
"Please help us get a batch of printing equipment, at least 8 four-color offset printing machines, binding machines and so on!" Zhou Yang said.
"I need printing equipment again. Didn't I just transfer three printing machines to you? Isn't that enough?" Mr. Jiang asked with a surprised look on his face.
“Originally it was enough, but it’s not enough if the ministry only settles half of the purchase fee!”
Then Zhou Yang explained: "You must know that there are thousands of people in our research institute now, and we have to pay for food, drink, and toilet. If the ministry has no money, we have to rely on ourselves, and now our only income depends on this printing factory. , we will increase production capacity and make more money!”
Mr. Jiang nodded and said, "It's hard for you. I'll go back and discuss with other comrades in the department to see where I can get you a whole batch of printing equipment!"
"Then you're too old to bother me!"
Mr. Jiang shook his head and said: "It's not a trouble, I just feel a little sorry for you, but don't worry, I won't let you suffer!"
"clear!"
At this moment, Mr. Jiang suddenly looked at Zhou Yang and said, "By the way, I want to ask your opinion on something..."
Hearing Mr. Jiang's polite tone, Zhou Yang felt flustered for no reason, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart...

PS: I was so tired yesterday that I could hardly get up. I’m really sorry.
