432 Equipment is a tool of war, and people are the main body of war
"Just make 88, just like a tank, with three crew members and eight to ten troopers behind. In this way, an armored vehicle is an infantry squad. ︾︾ points small︾ said that the commander, as the commander, can command the driver and gunner on the vehicle to provide fire support and cover when attacking, or lead the infantry crew to fight."
What Liu Yijiu wanted to create the most is the Type 09 infantry fighting vehicle, which is a classic work of the 88-wheeled infantry fighting vehicle in the Republic. It has been in service in the Republic for nearly half a century!
The zbl-09 infantry fighting vehicle has an engine power of 330 kilowatts, a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour on the road, an average off-road speed of 40 kilometers per hour, a maximum climbing slope of 30°, can cross a 1.8-meter-wide trenches and pass a 0.55-meter vertical wall, the maximum road trip of the zbl-09 infantry fighting vehicle is 800 kilometers.
Of course, this is not enough for Liu Yijiu's needs.
"One armored vehicle is one shift?" Everyone looked at Liu Yijiu in confusion.
At present, there is no exact number of infantry squads in China.
"Yes, this is easy to manage and is more suitable for combat command. According to the simplest understanding, armored vehicles are different from heavy equipment such as tanks that mainly use artillery strikes. Their function is to provide firepower support for protecting tanks and conducting some urban street combat. Therefore, we need to consider all factors in design, good off-road capabilities, faster road driving speed, and strong power. We also need to consider human functions, and comfort needs to be considered to avoid our soldiers reducing their combat effectiveness after arriving at the battlefield..."
Liu Yijiu has always been very strict with the performance requirements of the weapons and equipment they developed and designed by themselves. This is something everyone knows.
However, Meng Fan and the others just joined did not know much about it, so they finally felt a little incredible when they heard these things proposed by Liu Yijiu.
Design weapons and equipment with the greatest power and the best performance.
As for the comfort of the warriors inside, do they need to be considered? These are all decadent capitalist ideas.
Of course, they did not propose to refute it with capitalist ideas. They spent some time in many systems and could not comment on whether it was a capitalist system or a socialist system. However, the people in the entire base liked these systems very much.
"Old Meng, do you have any objection?" Liu Yijiu felt it keenly at the disapproving look on Meng Fan's face.
Meng Fan originally did not intend to question the leader's decision before he was familiar with the base. Originally, Liu Yijiu was strong enough, and he also knew about it at Jialing Factory. He engaged in motorcycle research and development directly stipulated when the results will be produced and what the requirements would be.
Before the Chinese New Year, because he was dissatisfied with the performance of the motorcycle, he directly took back all the sold motorcycles.
Now it is also in the base. When Liu Yijiu speaks, no one will interrupt him. With such a huge base, employees and family members, Liu Yijiu has an extremely special status here. He thinks it is a bit incredible.
If he is a person over forty, he can understand.
However, Liu Yijiu is only aged!
He immediately stood up and asked Liu Yijiu his question: "Director Liu. Are we removing some unnecessary things? We are engaged in military equipment, not ordinary off-road vehicles, but considering the comfort experience of the passengers. This will waste a lot of our manpower and material resources. At the same time, it will also increase our R&D and production costs..."
These things that Meng Fan proposed are not unreasonable.
When designing weapons and equipment, the Republic never considers the comfort of its personnel. Finally, it was because the customer made a request after exporting weapons and equipment and made changes in this regard.
The People's Liberation Army is a team with strong ideological qualities. It is not even afraid of death, so naturally it will not care about suffering or something when joining the army.
There is no need to waste limited funds on this.
Liu Yijiu didn't understand this idea. She looked at the people who had a copy of the expression that should be like this. After thinking about it, she felt that it was necessary to change the thinking patterns of these guys. This often saved a little money and lost a lot. In other words, it was called short-sightedness!
Looking at everyone, Liu Yijiu asked calmly: "Everyone thinks this way?"
Everyone was silent.
"I hope everyone will think more about this issue. On the surface, many things will increase a lot of costs. This cost can be continuously diluted by expanding production. But I hope everyone can think of a question: Where is the remaining market for our equipment except for domestic military use!" Liu Yijiu's words surprised everyone.
Everyone knew that everything in the base was operated independently. They were directly under the Logistics Department, but the Logistics Department did not interfere.
The source of funds is a huge problem.
If there is an order, this is not a problem. If the order is small, the cost will naturally be much higher.
To reduce the production cost of equipment, you need to obtain more market orders. Many countries in the world buy weapons and equipment, but the richest ones are Europe and America. They all purchase weapons and equipment from Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union. If you want to compete with the United States, the Soviet Union and even some European powers in the West and compete for food in a bowl, you must learn to consider more detailed designs when your technical performance is outstanding.
Many people in the Republic think that as long as they can exert the performance of weapons, strong attack power, and strong defense power, the army can be invincible. In fact, talent is the most important.
"Warriors are the main body of war. No matter how good the weapons and equipment are, they need people to operate. The comfort of these operators determines whether they can maintain the best state and thus play the maximum performance of our weapons and equipment. No matter how powerful the weapons and equipment are, this is just a tool of war. Just like our ordinary light weapons and various sniper rifles, the excellent shooting performance can be maintained in all environments. Without the large-scale professional training of our snipers, ordinary soldiers will hold these professional rifles that are countless times more expensive than ordinary rifles, and the performance they can perform is even worse than the ordinary guns they often use..."
In order to change their ideas, Liu Yijiu started with the simplest example.
The relationship between sniper rifle and sniper.
No matter how powerful a sniper is trained, if they do not have an excellent sniper rifle in their hands, then many of the combat abilities they train cannot be exerted, but it is not necessary. Without a sniper rifle, they can still exert their terrible combat power.
If a sniper rifle is not available without a sniper, it will not work. Although the shooting performance is outstanding, in the hands of ordinary soldiers, they don’t even know how to calculate the impact of wind speed and gravity on the ballistics of the in-flight bullets. What is the use? Compared with ordinary guns, sniper rifles are not suitable for ordinary soldiers. They use ordinary weapons more skillfully. At the same time, the shooting speed is far greater than that of sniper rifles, which makes it easy to maintain...
"In war, weapons and equipment are tools, and people are the main body. I hope everyone can understand this truth. All equipment is designed and developed for soldiers to complete a certain task. This is like ancient swordsmen, who achieves the unity of swordsman and man, is the most powerful swordsman. Even without swords, the swordsmen are still powerful... When Jing Ke assassinated King Qin, the King of Qin walked around the pillars... If the fish intestine sword in Jing Ke's hand could be sharper and cut off the pillars directly, could the King of Qin run away? Now, let's talk about our armored vehicles. If it were a large-scale war like in World War II before, our armored troops would run for seven or eight hours a long distance, and then they would directly devote themselves to the battlefield. They were in poor physical condition, and they sat in the car for too long, and their blood circulation was not smooth, how much combat power could they maintain when they got off the car?"
Liu Yijiu was talking endlessly about the relationship between weapons and equipment and the use of weapons and equipment.
Meng Fan and others were stunned when they heard this.
Even Wang Shunyi, Xie Heping and others looked dumbfounded.
"When did this kid become so nonsense?" Wang Shunyi asked Xie Heping beside him in surprise.
This incident is really surprising.
Is Liu Yijiu preparing to change his career and write martial arts novels?
"I don't know!" Xie Heping spent much less time with Liu Yijiu. However, he could understand what Liu Yijiu said, that is, in weapon design, it is best to make weapons and equipment easier for the soldiers who use them to exert their weapon performance. This is the best design. "But what he said makes sense. If he had given Jing Ke a gun, could the King of Qin run away?"
Every Chinese has a dream of martial arts.
The powerful swordsmen are very eager for those who are skilled. They hope to be able to walk on the world with swords in this mountain. Guns, tanks, and missiles are all swords.
Meng Fan did not expect that these things could be nonsense like this. This young director's idea was really a bit broad.
However, he understood one thing that if the troops were equipped on a large scale, the physical condition of the soldiers carrying the car would likely affect the direction of a war.
This is the details Liu Yijiu said.
The ancestors have a message, and details determine success or failure.
As for cost, do you need to consider success or failure during the military research and development process? If you cannot exert your maximum ability and if you cannot resist the enemy's attack, the country will be destroyed and everything will be in vain. Do you still need to consider cost at that time?
