Chapter 522 Layout of Vietnam
Zhu Yingqi could think of the key points, but everyone in the room couldn't figure it out. Not only that, but they, the backbones who specialize in technology all day long, could see through the lens, and Zhu Yingqi could see more and more thoroughly.
As Wang Dehua said, firearm rebore is not a small project. The barrel, bore, and bolt structure must all be adjusted. It is no exaggeration to say that except for the outer shell, the internal core components are not immovable.
.
It's not an exaggeration to say that it's like reinventing a gun.
But the No. 1 branch factory quietly carried out the chamber modification. What does that mean?
This means that a branch factory must at least have reliable production equipment, an efficient workforce, and a reliable management system. In short, they must have a production line with mature technology and reliable operation, otherwise they will never have such capabilities.
That is a production line capable of manufacturing brand new firearms. There are not many similar equipment in the country, but a branch of Baiyun Factory has built another one outside the main factory. Is this a coincidence?
Wang Dehua's eyes seemed to be enlightened. At this moment, Kong Rui, who was also a little stunned, also looked over. When their eyes met, they both saw a hint of understanding in each other's eyes, and then they softly said in unison: "
It’s Chen Yaoyang!”
Yes, it was indeed Chen Yaoyang. After Repin's time, Chen Yaoyang and his wife resumed work. However, Chen Yaoyang only presided over the work in the technical department for a short period of time, and then he was promoted to deputy chief engineer by the factory.
Few people can see Chen Yaoyang.
Everyone thought that Chen Yaoyang had received some secret development task and needed to conduct research in isolation. This kind of thing was too common for military industrial units, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
But now, the first branch factory actually has the ability to produce brand new firearms. To achieve such a big progress, it is natural to have the guidance of an expert, and there are only two such experts in Baiyun Factory, one is Bai Yi and the other is Chen Yaoyang.
.
Needless to say, Bai Yi is now focusing on the general direction. He is faced with director-level tasks all day long. Naturally, he has no time to take care of the first branch factory. Therefore, the only person who made the first branch factory achieve such an achievement is Chen Yaoyang.
Wang Dehua and Kong Rui's guess was indeed accurate, Chen Yaoyang was indeed in the first branch.
In fact, as early as Repin started to stir up a storm of criticism in the Baiyun Factory, Bai Yi transferred Chen Yaoyang to the first branch. In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Yaoyang was sent to the border because his arms could not twist his thighs.
In fact, since then, Bai Yi has already begun to make plans for the next development.
The most important one was to establish a branch factory. The reason for this was mainly because of the impact of Soviet-made equipment, which forced Bai Yi to leave a way for independent equipment to survive.
There is no way, the Soviet-made equipment is too powerful. The huge surplus equipment of World War II makes it impossible for the independent equipment with insufficient production capacity to withstand it. Even with the support of the 102 chief and the chief of armaments, the independent equipment cannot satisfy the army.
Against the backdrop of a comprehensive makeover, I can only give way sadly.
It is not that Bai Yi has not worked hard for this, but except for the Type 50 automatic rifle that has been put into production, other R&D plans have not been approved by superiors at all. The reason is very simple. The R&D investment and manufacturing cost combined are three times higher than the Soviet-made equipment.
One percent, that’s not all, it’s too late in terms of time, and the Soviet-made equipment is all ready-made and can be used directly. In this case, why bother to develop any independent equipment?
Faced with this reason, Bai Yi really had nothing to say. Developing independent equipment is expensive, time-consuming, and laborious, but receiving Soviet-made equipment is simple and fast, which is a huge benefit to the troops, especially the volunteers in North Korea.
Bai Yi actually wants to take such a shortcut, but the question is how long can this kind of ease last?
Others didn't know it, but Bai Yi knew it very well. After less than ten years, as the Soviet Union withdrew all its technology and experts, Chinese industry, especially the military industry, fell into a huge quagmire, so that some factories
Due to lack of technical information, even the most basic screws cannot be produced.
The reason for this situation is that China's military industry has not formed an independent production system. It is like a patient recovering from a serious illness who cannot walk without crutches. At the most critical moment, the Soviet Union withdrew from China.
The most needed crutch.
Everything started from scratch and everything was brought back to its original shape. Although the Chinese people gradually caught up with their ingenuity and hard work, the decades of delay caused China pain more than once.
Bai Yi was afraid of trouble, but he was even more afraid of labor pains. Since he couldn't have both, he could only choose trouble.
Therefore, when the General Staff planned to completely replace the equipment with Soviet-made equipment, he ran to the capital and stayed at the home of the chief of armaments. He forced the General Staff to change the equipment from an immediate change to a gradual change, leaving a glimmer of hope for the Type 50 automatic rifle.
But that's all.
There is no way. In the face of the overwhelming 7.62mm Soviet-made firearms, the 6.5mm Type 50 is too different. Even if it is an automatic rifle, it is still difficult to join the trend of Soviet-made weapons, not to mention that a few years later, SKS and AK will become the main weapons.
With the influx of the new generation of 7.62mm firearms, the survival of the Type 50 will be even more difficult.
Perhaps out of consideration for protecting independent equipment, the 102 commander and the armaments chief will strive to retain the proportion of Type 50 in the troops.
However, this kind of charity-like installation cannot form a healthy equipment metabolism at all, which means that the Type 50 is very likely to become the swan song of Baiyun Factory's independent firearms.
This is true for the most basic firearms, and other equipment will naturally be even worse.
Because of this, Bai Yi, who wanted to change all this, had to take corresponding countermeasures to buffer the impact of Soviet-made equipment. The key point for Bai Yi to deal with the buffer was Vietnam, which was resisting France.
The reason why I chose Vietnam is not because it is a hot spot, but because Vietnam has very limited choices of equipment.
Except for the Soviet Union and China, other countries just want to give, but they don’t have the courage, let alone the ability.
Therefore, Vietnam does not have high requirements for equipment. As long as it can shoot out bullets and kill the enemy, the Vietnamese army who is still in the guerrilla state will use it.
Naturally, Bai Yi couldn't let go of such a child who was not picky about food. Let's give them some old guns and cannons that China has accumulated through so many years of war. It would not only clean up the inventory, but also maintain the continuous operation of the production line. Why not?
Woolen cloth?
What's more, if you have any new ideas or new ideas, you can boldly try them. Anyway, the Vietnamese army is not picky about food. Give them new equipment. It's too late to be happy. How dare you complain?
Of course, when new equipment enters Vietnam, it will inevitably conflict with similar equipment from the Soviet Union. However, Bai Yi is not worried about this. A conflict is a conflict. Anyway, the Vietnamese army has the final say. As long as they are satisfied, it does not matter if there is a conflict. Anyway, he has already taken care of it.
