Chapter 677 Know Yourself and Your Enemy (ask for monthly votes)

The weather in June is already very hot.

Final exams are being conducted in various colleges and universities.

Senior students, in addition to graduation defense, are taking graduation photos.

Liu Ziyu, Chen Nianzhen, Li Yuemin, and Lin Xing are also taking photos happily. They are wearing doctoral gowns and taking photos as a souvenir, while receiving graduation certificates and degree certificates.

It took them five years from postgraduate study to obtaining a doctorate degree.

Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen started their own business and founded "Dandelion Computer System Co., Ltd., Kunshi, Yunnan Province". They are already well-known. In addition to the two of them, they have also recruited ten employees.

Li Yuemin and Lin Xing are different. They chose to stay in the research institute of Panshan Group and engage in postdoctoral research and take the path of scientific research.

As Liu Tao's second batch of students, they have the best resources and can make their own choices without worrying about the future.

Now they are enjoying their last time as students. From now on, their student days will end, leaving only memories.

Liu Ziyu took a camera and kept taking pictures for everyone, and also took group photos together.

When the photo shoot was almost finished, they sat down on the lawn under the shade of the tree.

They recalled the past five years, and they couldn't help showing reluctance while chatting.

Before graduation, they would be eager to graduate early; but when they really had to graduate, they couldn't bear to leave.

"We have all graduated, and only Xiaopang and the other four are left." Li Yuemin said, "I don't know when the teacher will recruit new students."

Chen Nianzhen said: "You have to ask Ziyu about this. Ziyu must know more than we do."

They all knew that Liu Ziyu was Liu Tao's sister. In these years, Liu Ziyu did not live in the dormitory, but lived with Liu Tao.

In terms of being well-informed, Liu Ziyu must be better than them.

Liu Ziyu waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know either. I don't know more than you. You know my brother's situation. He doesn't stay in the headquarters for a long time in a month, and he lets us go."

When the others heard what Liu Ziyu said, they couldn't help laughing.

Speaking of which, they really let us go.

Liu Tao is very busy and often out, sometimes even not returning to Panshan Group headquarters for a month.

As Liu Tao's students, one of their biggest growth in the past few years is the ability to learn independently.

Not only do they have to complete the books and papers assigned by Liu Tao, but they also have to participate in other research projects.

But no one will complain, because it has been proved that their professional knowledge has been greatly improved. They only took five years to meet the doctoral graduation requirements set by Liu Tao and successfully graduated with a doctorate degree.

While Liu Ziyu and others were enjoying their last days as students, Liu Tao was meeting the army.

It was the Thai military that was about to pay a friendly visit to China, which would involve military purchases.

In the past ten years, the Thai army has also been constantly purchasing military equipment to strengthen its military strength, and its strength is not weak. Its total active strength of the army, navy and air force is 400,000, and its paramilitary forces include 20,000 border patrol police, 50,000 local police, and several village defense forces.

The Thai Army has a total strength of 240,000 people, and is mainly equipped with 350 Type 59 main battle tanks, 150 Type 69 tanks, 60 Type 62 amphibious tanks, 100 Type 81 amphibious tanks, 100 Type 81 medium tanks, 100 Type 81 light tanks, 150 Type 80 main battle tanks, 50 Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 500 Type 81 infantry fighting vehicles, large-caliber artillery including 400 105mm howitzers and 150 155mm howitzers, as well as a large number of large and small caliber artillery. It is currently the first army in Southeast Asia.

The Thai Air Force has a total strength of 43,000 people, and its main equipment includes 40 F4 fighters, 100 J-7 fighters, 20 J-8 fighters and 80 J-6 fighters, as well as dozens of various helicopters and 20 various training aircraft. It is currently the first air force in Southeast Asia.

The total strength of the Thai Navy is 66,000, including 20,000 marines, 8,000 soldiers of the Air and Coastal Defense Command and 1,150 naval air defense troops. The main force is some missile speedboats and torpedo speedboats, and the navy is not strong.

In recent years, Thailand has benefited from a surge in exports, and its economic development situation is in the first echelon in Southeast Asia. The only country that can compare with it is Singapore.

As the leader of the "Four Asian Tigers", Thailand is eyeing the "Four Asian Dragons" and has always wanted to replace South Korea.

"Can you find out what weapons they want to purchase?" Liu Tao asked.

Thailand wants to purchase weapons, which Liu Tao is very happy to see.

He is never afraid of selling advanced weapons to other countries, unless they are strategic ballistic missiles and mushroom bombs.

He is not afraid of other tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, submarines, etc.!

Not to mention that the performance of the export version itself is limited and cannot compare with the self-use version. If it is a critical moment, Liu Tao has a lot of means to make these weapons unusable.

Of course, it is best not to do this unless you have to.

Once you do it, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and then your character will be ruined.

In business, it is best to know yourself and the enemy in order to win every battle. You have to find out what the other party wants and what price they can pay.

Since the military contacted him and asked him to do it personally, it means that this business will not be small. If it is small, he will not be needed, and Feng Defeng will only need to come forward.

Feng Defeng is the helmsman of the China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, but he also has some shortcomings, such as insufficient prestige.

Small business is fine, but big business is much worse, people don't recognize Feng Defeng.

"Comrade Liu Tao, we found out that they want to purchase more advanced aircraft and a batch of warships. When our escort fleet returned to Thailand for a friendly visit last time, they showed their intention to buy and took the initiative to consult." The person in charge of the military said.

Liu Tao nodded slightly.

Every time the escort fleet visits a friendly country, he will visit a friendly country. He knows this.

Liu Tao has begun to think in his mind. For air force equipment, K8 primary trainer, J-7A and "Eagle" advanced trainer can all be sold, and J-10 fighter and J-11 fighter can also be exported. Although the current production capacity cannot keep up, things like aircraft are often produced after orders are placed, and the delivery time is long. If you have money, you only need to invest more in production lines.

As for naval equipment, there are many options, including missile boats, torpedo boats, minesweepers, frigates, and destroyers. The only thing that cannot be exported is electronic reconnaissance ships.

Electronic reconnaissance ships involve too many sensitive things and are not suitable for export, especially to countries in important regions.

This is even more true for large electronic reconnaissance ships, because the detection range is thousands of kilometers away, and this thing is too easy to damage national interests.

As for small electronic reconnaissance ships, they may be exported in the future, but they are definitely not suitable for export in the short term.

Which weapons can be exported and which weapons are not suitable for export, Liu Tao knows clearly in his heart.
