Chapter 859 (1/2)

The most painful thing to say is that marshal Ustinov, Minister of defense, wants to develop new military vehicles, which is not just empty talk. It needs technical personnel, technical equipment and huge financial support. After all, with the technological accumulation of the Soviet Union, they want to catch up with or surpass the United States. It is not only difficult, but even impossible.

The head of the Ministry of foreign trade of the Soviet Union looked helpless. The US military vehicles not only had advanced performance, but also the black cloud group and baozixuan. But what about the Soviet military vehicles? Even their soldiers despise them, not to mention other Warsaw Pact countries.

The road condition in the Soviet Union is very poor, and the maintenance of military vehicles is not in place. Such second-hand products, in addition to buying waste steel, who will want them. If it's tanks and armored vehicles, maybe it's still possible. Military vehicles still forget it.

The supreme leader has spoken and can only carry out it unconditionally. Even when it's difficult, you have to go, otherwise you won't be able to keep your position. The person in charge of the Ministry of foreign trade can only find Ustinov, hoping to use prestige to force the Warsaw Pact Member States to buy some Soviet military vehicles. After all, the funds for the products sold are attributed to the research and development of new military vehicles by the Ministry of national defense.

KGB chairman chebrikov returned to his office and immediately organized personnel to investigate. The final result can only be to lose soldiers and lose generals in vain.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, many people believed that this conference should not be held. Because of this meeting, the Soviet Union suffered great losses. There may not be a meeting. Everyone will treat it as nothing, and the effect will be better.

But it's too late to say anything. The powerful Soviet Union is no longer there.

Turner's appointment as commander-in-chief of NATO's European allies had little impact on other countries except the Soviet Union. With so many retired weapons and equipment in the hands of heiyun group, it is really eye-catching.

China is the most concerned, although the economy has improved at this time. But the Chinese mainland, which adheres to the arduous and pragmatic style, still wants to get some retired weapons and equipment of the U.S. military. It can not only be used to equip troops, but also may be inspired by studying it.

Just when the Soviet Union held an emergency meeting, so did China.

First, the technicians reported to the senior leaders what weapons and equipment the black cloud group purchased from the United States; And compare the deficiencies and technical gaps of similar products in Huaxia.

Although we know that the technology is completely backward at this time, no one expected that the gap would be so large. The revival of the country really has a long way to go.

The Chinese Defense Minister solemnly said, ”comrades, although the country wants to develop its economy. The army can make appropriate concessions, but national defense construction cannot be relaxed. It's about national security and can't give other countries any opportunities. ”

”Therefore, I suggest negotiating with the black cloud group to see how many weapons and equipment they are willing to sell to us from the United States. Although it is the retired equipment of Americans, its performance has lagged behind its most advanced products. But compared with our own weapons and equipment, we are at least ten years ahead. ”

”Backwardness is not terrible. What's terrible is that we don't have the courage to admit it. It is very feasible to develop Huaxia's own products with the help of second-hand weapons and equipment. ”

Reverse imitation is not shameful, especially in military industry. It's a shame that you can't even copy. At the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China, it can be said that China was poor, not to mention its industrial foundation. But even so, the older generation is not afraid. Just under the attack of the international community, we have developed a road suitable for our own industry.

It is very feasible to purchase retired weapons and equipment from heiyun group. Just limited by foreign exchange reserves, I don't know what the other party thinks.

Because of the strong investment of Xiangjiang merchants, especially baozixuan. At this time, compared with the previous life, China's foreign exchange reserves increased a lot, but at the same time, the pace of development also accelerated a lot. There are more items that need foreign exchange. It is difficult to spend too much dollars for the military to buy weapons and equipment from abroad.

The person in charge of the foreign exchange department said: ”I also very much recognize the purchase of weapons and equipment. But the country's foreign exchange reserves are insufficient. Unless heiyun group agrees to pay with Huaxia currency, the amount will not be too large. Try your best to come up with $300 million, not even one more point. ”

”This still needs to dismount other projects, otherwise it may be less.”

$300 million looks a lot, but it's not enough compared with weapons and equipment. Even one of the most advanced bombers of the black cloud group can't be bought. The military is very dissatisfied with this figure.

Without capital investment, it is difficult to build a strong national defense. This is not the time when millet and rifles can fight. A strong national defense requires a huge amount of capital investment, otherwise we can't afford weapons and equipment.
