Chapter 618: Give the army wings

In the photo, everyone is smiling.
Qin Guan smiled brightly. Although Qin Guan did not participate in the development of tanks, the 79 tanks at this time were a major contribution of Qin Guan in this era, the first major achievement of military technology in the Han Dynasty.
In the past, Steyr trucks were mainly used for civilian use. Later, they were used in various aircrafts, which were only sub-systems. They had not really been finalized. The 79 tank was regarded as the first major achievement with the help of Qin Guan. It has reached the level of the 99 tanks of later generations, but it appeared twenty years earlier!
Qin Guan's heart was quite excited.
Its technology comes from Leopard-2, but some of its performance has surpassed Leopard-2. This tank will also become a focus of exporting foreign exchange. At the same time, it has also proposed the next breakthrough. Depleted uranium bombs and depleted uranium armor, when these are all produced, there will be the sharpest spear and the strongest shield.
Tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets and Chobham armor can be exported. Of course, these depleted uranium bullets and depleted uranium armor are for personal use. This ensures that the level of weapons equipped by yourself is still higher than that for export.
The celebration banquet was held in the Army’s General Armament Department. Everyone was very excited that evening.
General Huang, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the Army, was full of energy: "Today, with the breakthrough of our 79 tanks, our armored forces can finally face any enemy with full confidence. Cheers to the contribution of our scientific and technical personnel! "
General Huang, who had come over from the war years, was quite bold, raising his glass and drinking it all in one go.
And Zhu Lao was also extremely excited. There would have been many difficulties in catching up and surpassing the world's advanced level this time, but now they have overcome them, with his own efforts and the help of President Qin.
That's right, Mr. Qin.
Zhu Lao raised his glass: "Thank the party, the Army, and the support of our entire project. At the same time, I would like to thank Mr. Qin even more. Without Mr. Qin, there would be no breakthroughs in our technologies."
Some people on the scene knew the inside story, and General Huang also knew Qin Guan's contribution inside, and this final set of semi-automatic loader was also the reason why the Army finally chose a 120mm caliber tank gun unified with the West.
Qin Guan's contribution is the greatest.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Qin Guan could only raise his glass: "The road to revolution has no end, and the modernization and improvement of the army is endless. I am very happy to see the success of our 79 tank. At the same time, everyone should know that the enemy of tanks on the modern battlefield is no longer the only tank on the opposite side."
When Qin Guan said this, everyone present calmed down and pondered the meaning of Qin Guan's words.
At present, Han is still a traditional Continental Army idea. In the eyes of the Army, the air force and the navy are their vassals, and they are the boss.
Among the army's weapons, tanks are of course the first to be used. Now, Qin Guan has come up with more crucial things.
"President Qin, you mean armed helicopters?" Later, a staff officer mentioned it.
Qin nodded his opinion: "Yes, originally this was not my duty, but since everyone is here today, then I have crossed the line. You must see that the armed helicopter, flying between a tree high, will become a tank. The biggest killer of the army, therefore, our army must pay attention to the role of armed helicopters."
"But, that's the Air Force business." Another army general said.
Yes, in this era, all that can fly belong to the Air Force.
Helicopters are also owned by the air force. The main force of helicopters in Han is now the old-fashioned Zhi-5 and Zhi-6. There are no modern helicopters at all, let alone advanced armed helicopters, and the army aviation of Han. It was established after the 1980s.
Although it was flying, its space was at low altitude. Many materials also called it the fifth space. Its main task was to attack the ground.
"Yes, but everyone can see. The armed helicopter will bring a revolutionary breakthrough. It carries anti-tank missiles and attacks the ground. That is definitely a killer. In this era, other countries have begun to have a large number of The gunship is out."
Qin Guan's words aroused General Huang's interest: "Mr Qin, go on."
"Our army also needs to be transformed. For example, it can apply to higher levels to set up an army aviation unit, put wings on the army, and have three-dimensional strike capabilities. Our country has a long border. In many places, it is difficult for border troops to walk. In the past, therefore, if the army had helicopters, it would be better able to guard our borders." Qin Guan said: "Take the recent war between Eagle Nation and Monkey Nation, and see how many helicopters are active on the battlefield. ."
Qin Guan's words made the people present nod frequently. Yes, the army wants to reform and transform, and it is also a very important thing to give the army wings.
"However, we have limited funds now." General Huang said: "We don't have any technical reserves in our country. It is too difficult to build an armed helicopter by ourselves."
The current army has set aside funds to improve the existing 59 tanks and equipped with a small amount of 79 tanks, which has already consumed almost all the funds. It is too difficult to raise funds to build armed helicopters.
The army has no money.
"There is an opportunity this time." Qin Guan said: "We may buy a batch of Cobra gunships from abroad at a low price. If the army needs it, can the army pool a sum of money?"
Qin Guan once again thought of the upcoming trip to the Kingdom of Parthsium. The weapons and equipment of the eagle country of the Parthian country will become a pile of scrap iron because of the arms embargo of the eagle country. At this time, let them put the eagle country equipped with them. The weapons are packaged and sold with great confidence.
Anyway, it is also a piggyback. What if they have the opportunity to buy their Cobra gunships?
The AH-1 gunship is an anti-tank gunship specially developed by the Eagle State I. It is also the world's first anti-tank helicopter at that time. Its main task is to provide close fire support and coordination of firepower during the day, night and harsh weather conditions. support.
It can also perform tasks such as escorting assault transport aircraft, indicating targets, anti-armor operations, anti-helicopter operations, dealing with threatening fixed-wing aircraft, and implementing key air defense and limited area air defense and reconnaissance.
This armed helicopter was developed by Eagle State Bell Helicopter Company in the mid-1960s for the Eagle State Army. It flew for the first time on September 7, 1965 and entered service in August 1967. Due to its good flight and combat performance and strong firepower, it was It is widely used in many countries, enduring for a long time, and is still in production until the 21st century.
Although the later Apache is more famous and a model of gunships, the Cobra gunship has never been outdated.
I went there anyway, so I just bought it back.
