Building a Technological Power Starting with the Type 59 missile and Going Astray in Technological Development

”Everyone should know that military powers such as Russia and the United States have already applied 125mm smoothbore guns to their main battle tanks and have been using them for many years.”

“Even some second-rate countries have already adopted 120mm smoothbore guns, so do we still have to stay at the stage of 110mm or 115mm smoothbore guns?
“This is undoubtedly falling behind.”

Lin Chenran’s words rang in everyone’s ears like a warning bell.

At this time, Mr. Zhu also stood up and agreed with Lin Chenran’s words: ”That’s right, although our country’s 120mm smoothbore cannon has not yet been successfully developed, with our country’s scientific research strength, we will definitely be able to make a breakthrough in a few years.”

He swept his eyes firmly over everyone present and continued, ”We cannot only care about the immediate interests, but also focus on future development. Only with advanced weapons and equipment can we ensure national security and military combat effectiveness.”

Then Mr. Zhu revealed a piece of information: ”The second-generation main battle tank of our 617 Machinery Arsenal will also be equipped with a 120mm smoothbore gun as the main weapon.”

Although there is a tense competitive relationship between the 617 Mechanical Arsenal and the 625 Mechanical Arsenal.

But ”right is right, wrong is wrong.”

We cannot damage the interests of the country just because the 617 Machinery and Arsenal are in competition with the 625 Machinery and Arsenal.

Mr. Zhu is known as the ”soul figure” of the Yan State tank industry. With his outstanding wisdom and profound attainments, he has become a legendary man who supports half of the Yan State tank history.

Every decision he makes affects the development direction of Yan Country’s tanks.

When he expressed his support for the use of 120mm smoothbore guns as the main weapon of Yan’s second-generation tanks, this decision undoubtedly became the final conclusion.

As a result, the faces of other representatives who had not yet introduced the design and development plans of the second-generation tanks of their own mechanical military factories suddenly became embarrassed.

These representatives were secretly grumbling in their hearts, as they had originally been full of confidence in preparing to present their plans to everyone.

But at this moment they discovered that the second-generation tank design and development plan they brought had no advantages at all!

They had always believed that their plan was much better than the previous two.

Although both are 110mm or 115mm smoothbore guns, it is superior in speed and defensive armor.

However, the reality dealt them a heavy blow - the design and development plan of the second-generation tank without a 120mm smoothbore gun was directly rejected by the Yan State military.

At this time, the conference room fell into silence, and only the second-generation tank design and development plans of three mechanical military factories survived.

The three lucky ones are: the 625 Mechanical Military Factory that was just introduced on stage, the 617 Mechanical Military Factory where Mr. Zhu works, and the 077 Mechanical Military Factory where Lin Chenran, who just supported Su Yiming, works.

Faced with such a situation, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Some people showed surprised expressions, as if they couldn’t believe what was happening before their eyes;
Some people frowned and were lost in thought;
Some people opened their lips slightly, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

The entire conference room was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, as if a storm was about to come.

”this”

”That”

Various exclamations and voices of doubt intertwined together, making the already chaotic scene even more complicated.

077 Mechanical Military Factory is so advanced?
The main weapon of the second-generation tank is the ”120mm smoothbore gun”.
