In the blink of an eye, it’s mid-November!
Just when the situation in southern Xinjiang was tense, good news came one after another from the Babaoliang Research Institute.
First, Qiao Weiguo called from Lucheng, saying that all the 4,000 employees needed by Electronics Factory No. 8 have been recruited. During this time, they are organizing employee training and installing the equipment that arrived.
It is expected that all equipment will be installed in mid-December, and the first color TV production line will be ready for production.
This is definitely good news for Zhou Yang. After all, the Fourth Machinery Department has received commissions from multiple TV manufacturers in Shanghai and Beijing, asking them to contact the companies in Jiaopenji and Nanbang to prepare Order several production lines for color television sets.
If they can't build a color TV production line in the first half of 1979, they won't be able to stop these units from importing color TV production lines. We will have to watch them give money to other people and be taken advantage of. The slaughter.
Now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. If this progress continues, the first production line will be able to roll off the production line smoothly by February next year at most.
Immediately afterwards, Guo Yamin and others received good news from the No. 1 Machinery Factory in Lucheng. After more than a month of hard work, they finally produced the first batch of new anti-tank missiles.
Although only 8 were produced, after testing, the actual combat performance was stronger than the design performance, far exceeding any anti-tank missile known in the world.
This matter quickly attracted the attention of the top military officials. After all, our neighbor to the north has always been famous for its huge armored forces. Its powerful steel torrent is like a sharp sword hanging above our heads. It may be possible at any time. Breaking through our borders.
Therefore, while we are vigorously developing our own armored forces, we are also looking for ways to develop our anti-armor forces. Therefore, our country is in urgent need of an anti-tank weapon.
After learning that the Babaoliang Research Institute had developed a powerful "anti-armor epee", the senior management responded immediately.
On November 16, the Equipment Department sent a team of experts to Lucheng to specifically test this equipment.
The results of the test shocked everyone. Whether it was the old Type 59 or the Soviet T62, or a bunker fortification made of high-strength concrete, in front of this unnamed anti-tank missile, it was like It's like paper.
More importantly, the hit rate of this anti-tank missile is very high.
During the week of testing, the test team launched a total of 52 missiles, 50 of which accurately hit the target, with a hit rate of 96%. This absolutely beats any anti-tank weapon currently installed by various countries.
Except that the equipment is a bit heavy and not suitable for infantry to carry, this anti-tank missile is perfect!
Subsequently, the Military Commission and the Ministry of Equipment immediately sent congratulatory messages to the Babaoliang Research Institute and a missile unit of the joint research and development unit, congratulating them on such gratifying results and ordering them to immediately mass-produce this armor-piercing epee.
In addition, the missile force immediately mobilized troops to form a new missile battalion, and the main equipment of this battalion is this new anti-tank missile.
At the same time, in view of the fact that the weight of this anti-tank missile is not suitable for infantry to carry, the Equipment Department once again ordered the Babaoliang Research Institute to immediately carry out mechanized improvements to this anti-tank missile.
After receiving the order from superiors, Babaoliang Research Institute became busy again!
Just a few days later, Zhou Yang received good news again. He successfully won the first overseas military trade order.
Mr. Jiang called him to tell him the news. According to Mr. Jiang, the two parties successfully reached an agreement after more than 20 days of negotiations.
The camels under the pyramid finally ordered 60 J-7A plus 30 J-8 fighters from us at a price of US$3.5 billion.
After receiving the news, Zhou Yang was somewhat surprised.
Mainly in his memory, this military trade was completed next year in the previous life, and the purchase amount of the camels at that time was 2 billion US dollars, and only 60 J-7A were ordered.
However, not only has the order amount increased to US$3.5 billion, but an order for 30 J-8s has also been added. The changes are not ordinary.
What surprised Zhou Yang the most was that the J-8 fighter was actually included in the foreign trade products. Although the J-8 was not a modified version of the J-8, it was also one of the most advanced fighters in our country.
It can be seen that the higher-ups are really determined to carry out military trade overseas. The meaning behind this is far more important than the order itself.
Now even advanced equipment like the J-8 is being sold out. On the one hand, it shows that our domestic economic situation is indeed not very good. On the other hand, it also shows that the top management really regards the export of military trade overseas as a breakthrough!
Zhou Yang knew that as long as the higher-ups made up their minds, our domestic military industrial enterprises would soon usher in a real spring.
If we seize the opportunity this time, not to mention how much development there will be, at least the vast majority of military industry companies will be able to survive.
In addition, at the end of November, good news came one after another from the Liaoshen and Changhe factories. These two factories successively completed the transformation of the helicopter production lines, and each successfully completed the production of a Shanying helicopter.
You must know that the two prototypes in front are jointly produced by these two aircraft manufacturers. Among them, Liaoshen Aircraft Factory is responsible for engine production, and Changhe Aircraft Factory is responsible for the fuselage and assembly.
Now that they have to produce Shanying alone, they have to be responsible for all the steps themselves.
After two or three months of transformation, the two factories were finally able to complete the production of Shanying helicopters on their own.
When the news reached the Babaoliang Research Institute, Zhou Yang personally talked on the phone with Director Zou of the Liaoshen Aircraft Factory and Director Tian of the Changhe Aircraft Factory, hoping that they could produce a batch of prototypes as soon as possible. Once the situation in southern Xinjiang changed, they would immediately Send these helicopters over.
On the one hand, it is to test the actual combat capabilities and battlefield survivability of these aircraft on the battlefield, and on the other hand, it is to see if there are any major flaws.
Zhou Yang believes that as long as the helicopter's performance on the battlefield is not too bad, it will successfully pass the acceptance of the Aviation Commission and the military.
If their performance can be called excellent, the military will quickly place orders in large quantities.
Therefore, the battle in southern Xinjiang is definitely a good opportunity for Shanying Helicopter to prove itself!
After receiving Zhou Yang's call, both Director Zou and Director Tian immediately stated that they would let the helicopter production department go all out to produce, and strive to produce a complete helicopter squadron (12 units) each before the New Year.
There is a lot of good news, but there is also bad news!
First of all, after the Tinghaoshan incident, although we have been exercising restraint, what we gained for our tolerance was not respect, but the intensification of Nanhou's army.
They directly sent troops to the areas disputed by the two sides and built fortifications there, making a gesture of long-term occupation.
At the same time, the Woolly Bear Alliance also stepped up its military assistance to Nanhou. Not only did it provide a loan of US$1.4 billion to Nanhou in a very short period of time, but it also provided full assistance in raw materials and food for the military industry to help Nanhou. It maintains a super-large standing army of 1.26 million.
According to post-war statistics, 90% of the raw materials and 70% of the food of the Southern Monkey during this period came from the Woolly Bear Alliance. It was precisely because of such strong support that the Southern Monkey dared to proclaim itself the third military power. This is also where their confidence lies.
Because it received a large amount of assistance, the weapons, equipment and combat effectiveness of the Nanhou army have been greatly improved. Coupled with the safety guarantee of "Big Brother", Nanhou's ambitions have rapidly expanded, and in the border areas Provocations became more frequent.
Finally, faced with the increasing pressure of the Southern Monkey Army, our domestic public opinion began to change.
First, senior officials published a signed article condemning Nanhou's shameless behavior of calling for "catch the thief."
Immediately afterwards, on December 20, senior officials issued a direct order, giving frontline troops and the general public the power to fire back.
The war has entered a countdown, but at this time, the Southern Monkeys obviously have not realized the seriousness of the matter. They are still jumping up and down, without realizing that the rabbit is already summoning the "Martial Virtue Dragon"...
