Chapter 158 Unexpected News (please vote for me)

How much weapons and ammunition have been produced in the past thirty years?

To be honest, even the Fifth Machinery Department is not sure of an exact number.

Even the leaders above are not very sure.

Because there are those who repay less with more, and there are also those who repay less with more.

At the back are items for daily training, external support, and warehouse wear and tear.

But even so, it is estimated that ten years of war should be more than enough.

Relying on the military factories, we can continue to fight the war for twenty or thirty years.

Liu Tao displayed the weapons one by one, and each weapon was clearly marked with a price.

Basically every weapon can be found as an original product of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union’s original weapons are very famous internationally.

Now in the international market, there are two most famous weapons, Soviet-made equipment and American-made equipment. They dominate the entire international arms market.

"Huaxia deserves to be the best among copycats, it's amazing!" Muhammad sighed secretly in his heart. His impression of China was that of poverty and backwardness.

There are no high-rise buildings, there are only bicycles on the road, and there are few cars.

But seeing these weapons at this moment, Muhammad remembered that China also has the title of 'powerful copycat'.

This title may seem derogatory, but for third world countries, it is actually a compliment.

Because in third world countries, being able to copycat is also an incredible ability.

Many third world countries can only make simple guns, but cannot make more powerful and complex firearms.

The guns made by many third world countries are not as good as the firearms made by China during the Anti-Japanese War.

Like Persia before, many weapons were imported from Europe and the United States, especially the United States. Even the main force of the Persian air force is advanced fighter jets such as F4, F5, and F14. 80 F14 fighter jets give Persia the strongest air power in the Middle East.

Persia was already the most powerful country in the Middle East.

Even Persian weapons mostly rely on imports, let alone other Middle Eastern countries.

The oil-producing countries in the Middle East make money from oil and have the money to import weapons. Many third world countries are so poor that they don't even have a tank. Some are pure armies, using weapons that were used in World War I or even before World War I.

At the same time, Muhammad was very surprised and became more and more curious about Liu Tao's identity.

Not only did Liu Tao have guards, he could also enter the military camp. Even though Muhammad was a civilian official, he also knew that the military camp was an important military area and ordinary people were prohibited from entering.

And Liu Tao can sell a large number of weapons and equipment.

Although these weapons and equipment are not as advanced as Soviet-made weapons and American-made weapons, their prices are very attractive.

It is much cheaper than the same type of weapons and equipment in the world.

"Liu, I have to report this to the country. I will contact you if there is news." Muhammad said.

He is a civil servant and cannot make such a decision. He has to report to the country. He can only talk after receiving authorization.

Otherwise, he does not have this right.

Liu Tao smiled and said: "Mr. Muhammad, I am waiting for your good news!"

Then everyone left the military camp.

Five Machinery Department.

Liu Zhenbang's office.

Liu Tao boiled water to make tea, while Liu Zhenbang talked about the latest news.

"When you return to Beijing this time, there is news that tells you that Factory 356 will be included in your Panshan Machinery Factory." Liu Zhenbang lowered his voice.

"Factory 356? No way?" Liu Tao was surprised.

Factory 356, also known as the state-owned Factory 356, is a large military factory and an old military factory in my country. The products it develops are mainly machine guns. During the Anti-Japanese War, the imitation Czech ZB2 light machine gun it produced was a powerful weapon against the invaders. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Republic was in dire straits. Factory 356 copied and produced a large number of Soviet machine guns, such as the Type 53 7.62 light machine gun, the Type 55 tank machine gun, the Type 56 light machine gun, the Type 58 continuous machine gun, the Type 59 tank machine gun, etc. It can be said that It is one of the most important machine gun manufacturers in the country.

At the same time, Factory 356 has thousands of employees, including more than 20,000 family members.

Although Factory 356 has now begun to produce some "Chunhua" brand bicycles and the sales are good, they have not reached the point of operating difficulties.

"The reform of third-tier factories is imperative!" Liu Zhenbang said: "But it is not just third-tier factories that need reform, many large military factories have also reached the point where they have to reform."

"At the beginning of the year, the Fifth Machinery Department and several other departments jointly formed an investigation team and went to various large military factories to conduct investigations. The situation was shocking. The problem was very serious!" Liu Zhenbang said.

The more Liu Tao listened, the more shocked he became.

During those ten years, the damage to the military factories was very serious. Workers were not interested in production, military industry quality control was lax, and the machines were aging and poorly maintained.

For example, the quality of the machine guns produced by Factory 356 is not even as good as in 1965.

Moreover, as Panshan Machinery Factory developed the Type 78 general-purpose machine gun, the army no longer purchased other machine guns, and factories like 356 were suddenly in trouble.

Although Factory 356 and Factory 3303 can now produce small batches, the production cost remains high because of the low qualification rate. Even if the army purchase price is based on the price of Panshan Machinery Factory, these factories will lose money.

Since Wang Baoguo was transferred to the Fifth Machinery Department, he organized people from major arsenals to go to Panshan Machinery Factory to study. He wanted to implement the Panshan Machinery Factory's worker training system and quality control. However, it was not easy to implement it, and the results so far have not been good. Not too obvious.

Other third-tier military factories can be converted from military to civilian, but it is difficult for these large military factories.

So some leaders proposed that Panshan Machinery Factory should be used as a reform pilot unit, and Factory 356 should be included in Panshan Machinery Factory.

"The level of Factory 356 is higher than that of our Panshan Machinery Factory. Are they willing to merge into our Panshan Machinery Factory?" Liu Tao frowned slightly. This is a big question.

Liu Zhenbang said: "Is it possible that they still dare to fight against the organization regarding a document?"

Liu Tao was stunned.

Also, this was a time of high centralization. In the era of planned economy, Factory 356 was directly under the Fifth Machinery Department, and a single document from the Fifth Machinery Department could solve the problem.

Not to mention, Factory 356 is also located in Kunming City, and Panshan Machinery Factory is also located in Kunming City. The two sides know each other well and have a close relationship.

Speaking of this incense, when Panshan Machinery Factory was first established, Factory 356 supported technical personnel to help Panshan Machinery Factory produce machine guns.

In just ten years of Hedong and ten years of Hexi, the status of both parties has undergone earth-shaking changes. Factory 356 may even be included in Panshan Machinery Factory.

Liu Tao is naturally happy to see this happen. After all, Factory 356 is located in Haikou Town, Xishan District, Kunming City, only 37 kilometers away from the main urban area of ​​Kunming City. It is built on the mountains, with a beautiful environment and flat terrain. There are a large number of state-owned factories there. factory, it is much easier to assemble.
