Chapter 158 Unexpected News (Asking for Monthly Votes)

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

To be honest, even the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building is not sure of an exact number.

Even the leaders above are not very sure.

Because some of them report more than they actually produced, and some report less than they actually produced.

The rest are for daily training, foreign support, and warehouse losses.

But even so, it is estimated that it should be more than enough to fight a war for ten years.

Relying on military factories, the war can be continued 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 to be a Soviet product, and the Soviet original weapons have a great reputation internationally.

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

"Huaxia is indeed the best among the copycats, it's amazing!" Mohammed sighed in his heart. His impression of Huaxia is poverty and backwardness.

There are no tall buildings, and there are bicycles on the road, and few cars.

But when Muhammad saw these weapons at this moment, he remembered that China also had the title of "powerful copycat".

This title seems to be derogatory, but for third world countries, it is actually a compliment.

Because third world countries, being able to copy is also a great ability.

Many third world countries can only make simple guns, and they 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 from the United States. Even the main force of the Persian Air Force is advanced fighters such as F4, F5, and F14. 80 F14 fighters make Persia have the strongest air force in the Middle East.

And Persia used to be the most powerful country in the Middle East.

Even Persian weapons are mostly imported, not to mention other Middle Eastern countries.

The oil-producing countries in the Middle East make money from oil and have money to import weapons. Many third world countries are very poor, and they don’t even have a tank. Some are pure land forces, and the weapons they use are even those of World War I or even before World War I.

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

Liu Tao not only had guards, but also could enter the barracks. Even though Muhammad was a civilian, he knew that the barracks were important military places and ordinary people were forbidden to enter.

Moreover, Liu Tao could sell a large number of weapons and equipment.

Although these weapons and equipment were not as advanced as Soviet and American weapons, the prices were very attractive.

They were 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 any news." Muhammad said.

He was a civilian and could not make such a decision. He had to report to the country. Only after being authorized could he talk.

Otherwise, he had no right.

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

Then everyone left the barracks.

Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Liu Zhenbang's office.

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

"When you return to Beijing this time, I just have a piece of news to tell you that Factory 356 will be incorporated into your Panshan Machinery Factory." Liu Zhenbang lowered his voice.

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

Factory 356, also known as the state-owned Factory 356, is a large military factory and a long-established military factory in my country. Its products are mainly machine guns. During the Anti-Japanese War, the imitation Czech ZB2 light machine gun it produced was a powerful weapon to fight against the invaders. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Republic was in a state of disrepair. Factory 356 imitated and produced a large number of Soviet machine guns, including 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 to be one of the most important machine gun manufacturers in the country.

At the same time, Factory 356 has thousands of employees, and with their families, there are more than 20,000 people.

Although Factory 356 has started to produce some "Chunhua" brand bicycles, which are selling well, it has not reached the point of difficulty in operation.

"Reform of the third-line factories is imperative!" Liu Zhenbang said, "But it is not only the third-line factories that need reform. Many large military factories have also reached the point where they have to change."

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

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

In those ten years, the damage to the military factories was very serious. The workers were not interested in production, the quality control of military industry was loose, and the machines were aging and poorly maintained.

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

Moreover, with the development of the Type 78 general-purpose machine gun by Panshan Machinery Factory, the troops no longer purchased other machine guns, and factories like Factory 356 suddenly fell into trouble.

Although Factory 356 and Factory 3303 can now produce in small batches, the low pass rate makes the production cost high. Even if the troops purchase at the price of Panshan Machinery Factory, these factories are losing money.

Since Wang Baoguo was transferred to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, he organized people from various large arsenals to study at Panshan Machinery Factory, hoping to implement Panshan Machinery Factory's worker training system and quality control, but it is not so easy to implement, and the effect is not very obvious so far.

Other third-line military factories can be converted from military to civilian, but these large military factories are difficult.

So some leaders proposed that Panshan Machinery Factory be a reform pilot unit, and Factory 356 be incorporated into Panshan Machinery Factory.

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

Liu Zhenbang said: "It's just a matter of a document. Do they dare to resist the organization?"

Liu Tao was stunned.

Yes, at this time, it was highly centralized. In the planned economy era, Factory 356 was directly under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, and the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building could solve it with a document.

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

Speaking of this incense and friendship, when Panshan Machinery Factory was just established, Factory 356 provided technical support to help Panshan Machinery Factory produce machine guns.

It's just that the status of both sides has changed dramatically in the past ten years, and 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 mountain, with a beautiful environment and flat terrain. There are a large number of state-owned factories there, and it is much easier to match them.

Thank you for catching bugs, and I will change what can be changed! It's difficult to find errors in the writing process, and I didn't find them when correcting them. Thank you!

As for names, you can't write real names, only real names!

Thank you again for catching bugs!

At the same time, I ask for monthly tickets!
