"Although this gun has many shortcomings, its range is long enough, its power is large enough, and its cost is much lower than that of missiles..." Long Yaohua frowned. "We hope you don't seal the technology. If you don't further research and development, you can hand over these technologies to other brother units..."

"That's better to develop it ourselves. The military is preparing to build a few 203 howitzer battalions?" Liu Yijiu didn't want to get the technology out and mess with others.

The 203mm howitzer is the largest howitzer with a caliber developed by the Republic.

The 203mm howitzer studied by Tian Deming has a caliber of 203.2mm, a 52-fold body tube, a total combat weight of 18.7 tons, and a dimensional gun barrel interface is installed at the front, making the body tube look longer.

The rate of fire is two rounds per minute, which is stronger than the w90 203mm howitzer studied by the Republic. The initial speed is 1233 meters per second, and the weight and range of the projectiles fired are: bottom concave bullets, bullet weight is 101.9 kg, and the maximum range is 53 kilometers; bottom lane bullets, bullet weight is 103.4 kg, and the maximum range is 70 kilometers.

Yes, these things are actually theoretical data that can be determined.

Tian Deming lied about this matter, and Liu Yijiu did not hold him accountable.

Because this incident did not cause serious consequences. If it weren't for Ma Hansan, he wouldn't have done such a thing. It would naturally be impossible for someone like Ma Hansan to do anything. Any technician has his own temper.

Liu Yijiu looked at him differently, which was much better than Lu Ruixiang and Tian Deming, who were just good friends with him.

After all, this guy has always been a taciturn person.

"Can this gun be developed into a self-propelled howitzer? If that is the case, maybe it can be equipped with more. Most countries in the international world are equipped with such heavy guns. Although they are slow, they can carry out deep strikes!"

"It is OK to develop a self-propelled howitzer. However, this accuracy is still a big problem at present. The processing of these barrels is very difficult, especially the 64 rifles are designed in the barrel. At the beginning, in order to consider the cost, once the rifle is flat, the inner hole can be bored and changed to a 210mm high-pressure smoothbore gun... According to some of our technical research, if the barrel of this gun is extended to 17 meters and 80 times the caliber, the rotation stability is adopted, the chamber pressure and the temperature are increased, and a new type of shell can be designed, which can increase the range of this gun to 120 kilometers..."

"Enough!" Liu Yijiu didn't expect that this guy was the same type as the cannon madman Boer.

He never expected that Tian Deming would have such ideas and technical inferences.

When the Republic was developing the W90 203mm heavy howitzer, it can be said that it has invested a lot of energy in it. According to Tian Deming's statement, most of them are almost the same. The only thing is that the W90 203mm howitzer requires the use of a standard bottom exhaust jujube projectile with a 130mm support base (weight about 33 kilograms), which can increase the range to 150 kilometers!

However, the 17-meter-long gun barrel is too difficult to process.

The current 52x tube is a method that is adopted because their 57x tube cannot be processed to the required accuracy range. The production level is not good.

The current gun barrel is already 10.5 meters!

"Old Tian, ​​I hope you can do what you have on hand first! Don't be like this again, otherwise no one will be able to explain it." What Liu Yijiu is most afraid of is meeting a crazy man like Tian Deming.

Although, he is such a lunatic too.

However, cannons will not have much effect in future wars. Although the cost is much lower, this kind of cannon cannot be as easy to carry as a mortar.

"How accurate is this cannon now?" Long Yaohua glared at Liu Yijiu, not allowing him to speak, but asked Tian Deming.

"The range distance deviation is within 400 meters and the lateral deviation is within 120 meters." Tian Deming said without thinking, "Chief, this is just theoretical data. For details, it must be determined after this test."

Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and stared at Tian Deming, but this guy didn't look at his murderous look at him.

Instead, he introduced the various situations of the 203mm howitzer he developed in detail to Long Yaohua.

"I'll go to the north with you to watch the artillery test. Boy Liu, don't let your face down. From the beginning, you have been obstructing the development of artillery in our country. Don't you know that although this missile is accurate and has a flexible combat, the cost of artillery is lower? Which country in the world has not developed artillery?" Long Yaohua's words completely made Liu Yijiu helpless.

He didn't want the Republic to invest too much in cannons.

But he couldn't convince these big guys.

All kinds of methods have been tried, but these big shots were scared by the Japanese guns and the American guns.

Moreover, a missile costs tens of thousands of yuan, but these shells only cost a few thousand yuan, and at most only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Compared with missiles, it is too cost-effective.

"Chief, since you said that, what else can I say?" Liu Yijiu spread his hands helplessly and shrugged.

"Since you can't say anything, then shut up! Tian Deming is still responsible for this matter. Whether you are doing it in Dabashan or in Factory 2983 here, you must see the finished product. Moreover, your Ninth Hospital has to be responsible for making it into self-propelled cannons. Aren't you studying miniaturization of artillery reconnaissance radars? Are you studying computer-assisted aiming and other technologies? Then we will integrate these technologies..." Long Yaohua assigned a task to Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu didn't even have the chance to object.

He knew that this was not what Long Yaohua meant alone.

Since there is no way, you can only try to drag the progress.

"Chief, is there no problem with the export of this gun?" Liu Yijiu suddenly thought that the cost of paying the bill in the Republic is a bit high. It is best to find some suckers and purchase a batch of such heavy guns, which is no problem at all.

Whether it is Pakistan, Iraq, or Iran, it should be the most interested in this gun.

"Who do you want to export to? Anyway, don't think about going abroad! A big deal, your fighter plane, the first flight time has been delayed again and again, I want to ask you, will you see the first flight this year?" Long Yaohua did not object to Liu Yijiu selling such a cannon, but did not want Liu Yijiu to twist him and talk about whether the cannons meet the laws of future development.

Many military experts in the Republic, under the opinions of the Central Military Commission attached great importance to Liu Yijiu, combined with the situation of countries around the world, and analyzed the domestic reality, felt that artillery soldiers would not be able to withdraw from the stage of history in the next few decades, and their role would be greater.

Long-range fire attacks have missiles, but the missiles are expensive and cannot carry out saturation strikes, and can only strike accurately.

Different from artillery, it can fully carry out large-area fire cover and saturated artillery bombardment.

There were long-range cannons with a range of 70 kilometers, and then it was possible to increase the range to more than 120 kilometers. The accuracy was not too poor. What a cheap large-scale strike weapon this would be!

"Boy, whether it is the Iran-Iraq War, the British-Arab War, or the Soviet Union's Western-82 military exercise, they are all telling the whole world that the development of artillery is very important! Whether it is tanks or armored vehicles, they are mobile artillery, but they cannot use large-caliber artillery to increase their power..."

"Chief, I understand!" Liu Yijiu sighed and whispered.

That is, Long Yaohua, who explained these to him.

Liu Yijiu couldn't tell Long Yaohua that the group of people who study military theory in China could not see clearly the form of future wars.

They just saw how other countries were doing, and then felt that China should be doing. They would not consider the actual situation.

"Even if you said that the cannons will gradually withdraw from the stage of history in the future, but at this stage, our disarmament work has begun to prepare, the combat effectiveness of the troops must be improved, and we do not have advanced fighter jets. Even if the Dragon Guard tanks have been proven to be very powerful, you will prevent the army from equipping on a large scale. Once war occurs, how can we fight?"

"Chief, I understand. Don't worry, we will strongly support the 203mm gun project."

"Just don't object." Long Yaohua waved.

He was afraid that Liu Yijiu would interfere.

Only after the Gulf War and the Americans show the world their high-tech war methods will these guys in the country wake up.

The Soviet Union's continental army thought has always been continuing, and just like the Soviet Union, it does not attach importance to the development of the navy and other troops.

However, because of its strong strength, the Soviet Union was able to make the world tremble.

How many republics are there?

Perhaps, developing artillery is also a helpless choice.

However, too much investment in the development of artillery will affect the development of other weapons and equipment.

It is because the Republic is poor and most of its strategic focus has shifted to economic development.

A country's national defense development requires not only the development of weapons and equipment, but also advanced military theory support and a huge industrial foundation.

In China, there is no such thing.

The Nine Courtyard is like a tower in the air, and may one day collapse due to some problems.

In the future war, basically every battle will not give artillery any room to play. Because positional warfare is no longer applicable. The Iraq-Iraq War is the last positional offensive and defensive battle in history that Liu Yijiu knew.

These will take time to prove them.

Moreover, he is constantly improving the potential of war for Iraq, and then the Republic will learn more from the Gulf War.

Now is the time to lay the foundation.
