Section 19
Looking at the research results that gathered his efforts, Zheng Qiang smiled. After seven years, he could finally come up with a result that satisfies himself. He seemed to have seen the Chinese army equipped with such artillery. Zheng Qiang was excited to find the director again with the research drawings, thinking that he would definitely pass this time. But he was disappointed again. Like the previous few times, the director refused his request, and the reason was the same - there was no funding in the institute. Zheng Qiang was stunned when he heard this.
, I know the weight of this artillery drawing that has condensed my years of hard work. It is the best in China in terms of range, power and lightweight. Even similar products from abroad are not as good as my research results in some aspects. Most importantly, the production cost of this artillery is extremely low, only a few hundred thousand yuan. Is there not even a few hundred thousand yuan in the institute? Is my great motherland really that poor?
Zheng Qiang is a literati, a pure literati. He will not intrigue with anyone for the sake of any benefit, nor will he bow down for the sake of any power. In the research institute, he is a small person, a very ordinary little person. No one will pay attention to him, and the superior director will not care about what he usually does. As long as Zheng Qiang's actions do not threaten his status at all. But Zheng Qiang took the drawings to ask for research costs every few days, which made the director feel very annoying. He knew very well that those drawings were absolutely useful to the army and would be of great use. But you don't think about it? A project costs millions or even tens of millions, and I would spend millions of millions to buy a car. If this fee is granted to you for a project, then what should I buy a car? So many leaders above came to inspect, and it costs tens of thousands of yuan for a meal, and it costs hundreds of thousands of yuan for them during the holidays. These will also cost millions.
?Who would be the director of me if I don’t give so many gifts or treats so many meals? If I don’t be the director, who would I ask for reimburse my son’s annual expenses for millions of dollars in traveling abroad? Where does my wife’s annual public travel come from? Where does my little lover spend millions of dollars a year? And what does my car cost, my mother-in-law’s money for my parents, my mother-in-law’s money, my villa’s money, my travel abroad, my food and drink... Where does this come from? You are a researcher
The project requires me to have millions of dollars, so what should I do? Our country's army is not very combat-effective, so why should you worry about it? There are so many Chinese people, one hundred deaths will die, and ten thousand deaths will die. Even if it is defeated, it is nothing to do. Anyway, I have an American passport and just fly over. Isn't it the same comfortable and comfortable life? Why are you worry about it? Ask me to approve millions of cannons to study? You'll die this.
But no matter what, Zheng Qiang graduated from a prestigious American university and was a serious overseas returnee. There were not many such people in the entire research institute. This was a signboard for money from the institute. The leaders of the superiors always mentioned him in particular when they came to inspect. Now, people from the superiors came again today. It was time for dinner to ask Zheng Qiang to be his companion. This kid is really cheap.
Zheng Qiang's eyes were a little blurry, so many dishes. I remember that the most luxurious meal I had in the United States was only four dishes. But... But... How could there be so many dishes on the table today? This, what is this? Abalone. What is this? Bear paw. Oh! By the way, there are also this, what is this? Tiger meat? Isn't tiger a national protected animal? What is this? What is this? Shark fin? This, so many, can we finish eating?... So many dishes... Don't, don't serve the dishes anymore. This is enough, I can't finish it at all, and I'll be wasted it. I only taste a little bit of each thing and I can't serve it anymore.
What kind of wine is this? So mellow and so fragrant, what? Moutai? 20 years of Maotai? Enough, enough, can't drink it anymore. You can really drink it! Just a few people actually drank 4 bottles. Want to drink it? What kind of wine is this? Red wine? Or XO brewed in 1976? Two more bottles? Oh my God, why can you drink it so much?
It's time to check out, waiter, I ask you, how much does this meal cost?...what? How much? How much do you think this meal costs?60,000 yuan? Did you calculate it wrong? Why did it cost so much? How could it cost so much? Do you know how much I earn in a month? So expensive...what? I'm a rustic? You say he... our director comes here to have dinner every week? Where does he get so much money? You...you don't know...
Director... Are you drunk? I'll send you back... Come... Slowly... Director, please rely on me... By the way, Director... Your salary is that little, where can you get so much money to treat them to dinner?... What? Not your money?... The institute... can be reimbursed? Can it be reimbursed every time? It's always like this? What, don't you go home? Do you still have to play? Even if you play... can you be reimbursed?
Zheng Qiang was angry. He was so angry that he only knew how to study all day long. He spent more than 100,000 yuan in public funds in the institute for dinner and evening entertainment. It costs more than one million to do ten times, and tens of millions a year. The weapons he studied only cost hundreds of thousands. How many cannons are enough to buy in this year? How many weapons are enough to build? Zheng Qiang seemed to see invisible traps piled up with these money taking away the lives of one warrior after another, as if he saw young soldiers rushing towards the enemy tanks with bare hands. These are the hard-earned money of the people! This is a crime! No! This can't be done.
Sue! I want to sue! I want to sue the borer of this country!
The director has had a little hard life these days. This damn Zheng Qiang is really ignorant of politeness. He treats him to dinner with kindness, and he also sues me everywhere for embezzlement of public funds. Really, don’t you see who I am? Do I have that easy to sue? Don’t you think about who I give so much money every year? Those people won’t cover me if they take the money? The report letter you wrote in the morning was placed on my table in the afternoon. Just give up! What should you do? Sue me? Go and dream!
In this way, Zheng Qiang, who had no way to sue, was sent to the institute to work as a cleaner. At this moment, I was appointed as the military director of the Weapons Research Institute.
I listened to Zheng Qiang's narration silently and asked him calmly: "Where is your new artillery drawing? Show me!"
This is a design drawing for a 155mm infantry gun. The 155mm caliber gun is generally mainly towed howitzers, and some countries use armored track chassis as carriers to design and equip it with self-propelled guns. This caliber gun has the characteristics of high firing rate and high precision. Compared with general artillery, the 155mm cannon's mobility during firing will be reduced to the minimum amplitude. This stability can enable the artillery to shoot accurately from beginning to end. However, in order to achieve this, the chassis of the 155mm cannon will generally be equipped with heavier ballasts. Therefore, its weight will be between 10 and 20 shovels, and even the lightest UFH 155mm towed ultra-light howitzer in the world has a weight of 4.12 tons. Although auxiliary power foot pieces are installed on its four-wheeled frame, it is difficult to move it without a towing vehicle.
The cannon designed by Zheng Qiang is simply terrifyingly light, with a total weight of only 215 kilograms. Its most prominent feature is that some components are integrated, and some components are combined or multifunctional, so that the gun structure is simple and compact, which is conducive to reducing the weight of the gun. Its traction ring is integrated with the muzzle retractor; the liquid gas pressure balance barrel and the retractor are installed in the sleeve of the cradle and are integrated with the cradle. The gun body can be rotated at right angles so that the bulge latch is opened upwards. More fire part components have the characteristics of functional composite. For example, the cylinder pressure vessel of the cradle is both part of the balance machine and as part of the anti-recoil device. Its balance barrel, the integrated mechanism of the combination of the retractor barrel and the cradle can be used as the gun body slide rail, and can complete the recoil.
Braking and re-advance. In terms of materials, Zheng Qiang adopted a full plastic mode except the gun body. That is to say, the body tube of this 115mm gun is made of high-strength metal as raw material, and other components are made of ultra-light reinforced plastic. In this way, only two people are needed to move it effortlessly during wartime. This is completely an all-terrain artillery, and any military vehicle can be used as a traction source. Its ultra-light weight allows any helicopter to lift it. It can be imagined how terrible it would be if several such artillery were inserted into the terrain that only infantry could enter in mountain warfare or tanks, armored vehicles and motorized armor could not be involved and only infantry could enter.
"Good thing, absolutely good thing." I secretly praised in my heart: "Even 'Zhilong' has not designed such a good thing. Zheng Qiang is simply a genius. What's more rare is that his design concept obviously completely subverts the previous artillery design concept and completely simplifies those complex manufacturing processes. It simplifies nearly half of the production processes, which reduces a lot of auxiliary facilities, and greatly reduces the manufacturing time and manufacturing materials. As a powerful, simple structure, convenient production, and low-priced weapon, it can definitely be equipped with large numbers of troops in a short period of time, especially in wartime."
I didn't waste time. In order to order the security squad to imprison the director of the Weapons Research Institute, I jumped onto the military armored jeep at the door and headed towards the Ministry of National Defense with Zheng Qiang and his artillery design drawings.
The military's weapons assessment team was shocked when they saw this drawing at the first glance. This kind of artillery is definitely something that any country's army dreams of. Zheng Qiang and his research results were listed as the highest confidentiality object by the National Security Bureau on the spot. All the calculation equations and data in his research institute were also supervised by confidential personnel sent by the National Security Bureau. The reporting materials were also reported to the Military Commission as soon as possible.
"The borer of the country, the sinner of the people." This is the first sentence that Chairman Hu angrily said after reading the materials of the entire incident: "I know the seriousness of the corruption of our country's officials, but I never expected that such rampant corruption would occur just under our noses." The chairman was so angry that he trembled: "What kidding? The Weapons Institute is the most important department that bears the combat effectiveness of the entire army, and it is also the most fundamental place that bears the safety of the country. Without advanced weapons, what do we fight with others? What do we use to resist the enemy's attack? What do our soldiers use to fight? What do our country use to resist the invasion of foreign enemies? The funds allocated to them every year account for a huge proportion of military expenditure. What do they do? Take them for food? Take them for drinks? Take them to raise lovers? Take them to be millionaires? Bastards are simply bastards."
"This matter is very bad in nature and has a very bad impact." General Liu Zhengsheng said with a gloomy face: "If it weren't for the report of Researcher Zheng, we would not know when we would be hidden. The scientific research expenses that have been allocated may be embezzled and misappropriated. This will have a great impact on our national strength, military strength and even the morale of the army. I suggest that this incident must be strictly investigated and punished and will never be tolerated."
"Investigate! Check it thoroughly." Chairman Wang threw the report materials on his hand on the ground: "Immediately order the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to dispatch the most elite inspection team to the Weapons Research Institute. Starting from everyone and every matter, we must thoroughly investigate it for me."
The results of the inspection surprised everyone. From the time the director took office four years ago to the present, the Ministry of Finance has allocated a total of 39.2 billion yuan of scientific research funds from the Weapons Research Institute. More than 15 billion was given to the important personnel of various superior departments under various names and gifts, and more than 10 billion yuan was reimbursed in various names, inspection fees and administrative expenses. Among them, the huge amount of catering invoices and tourism invoices were found, and some even some entertainment venues
The invoice of the Institute and the nightclub. More than 8 billion yuan of funds were reimbursed under various names for study expenses, meeting expenses and machinery purchase expenses. It was found that the funds had been completely misappropriated for the purchase of cars, buildings and other items for his private enjoyment. The treasurer and cashier of the Weapons Institute knew that his crime was serious. After the first interrogation of the inspection team members, they committed suicide with a pre-hidden blade in the supervision room, but they were not successful. After being rescued by the inspectors, he explained all the problems.
What made the inspectors most angry was that because of the director's personal corruption and bribery, the entire Weapons Research Institute had no real research on any of the projects due to insufficient funds for four years. A large number of very valuable research projects died halfway through the road. The institute did not purchase any new equipment within four years, and even the computers that checked the equations were still old products four years ago, and the raw materials were insufficient, which could not support the needs of various research projects. Two years ago, the Army asked the institute to help solve the problem of insufficient penetration of 7.92 mm machine guns. At that time, several researchers proposed to replace the special fire yao.
The method was to achieve the goal. After several failed research, the director took the pretext of insufficient funds as an excuse to remove the project. However, the military urgently needed to solve this problem as soon as possible. In desperation, he added 2 million yuan from the already small military expenditure to the institute as funding. However, the bold director even swallowed the money, but the result was still unsolvable. According to the explanation, a test of the forced penetration effect would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan in materials. At that time, he happened to have a fee for asking personnel from the superior department to travel abroad. Just for this reason, the Army is still using old-type bullets from a few years ago.
In terms of reimbursement of various names, the director's actions are even more shocking. Eating, drinking, entertainment and entertainment are entertainment, traveling abroad are inspection fees, the bus purchased for the institute has become a private car, and the office purchased for the institute has become a private house. The son's annual tuition fee of several million yuan has turned into the cost of arranging researchers to study, and raising a lover has become a million yuan a year has become the money for purchasing advanced instruments. All expenses of home appliances, furniture, water, electricity, telephones, etc. are reimbursed by the institute. Even his wife's money for beauty treatment is called "cleaning fees".
The inspectors were angry, the researchers in the institute were angry, the soldiers in the security work were angry, and even the generals of the army who learned about the situation were angry. Wang Weiguo, the commander of the 81st Division of the 27th Army, was the most typical one. The problem of insufficient penetration of the 7.92 mm machine gun was raised first. When the director of the research replied that he had to give up the research because of insufficient funds, he forced 1.5 million from the warrior's teeth without hiding his superiors. In addition, the 500,000 weapon maintenance funds allocated by the army, he gave it to the institute. He thought that even if he was almost suffering and tired, it would be worth it as long as he could solve the problem. However, the institute's reply was still insufficient funds and could not be effective.
The research was put on hold. Wang Weiguo thought that it was because of the lack of money. He also knew that so many advanced weapons abroad were piled up with gold, but he didn't expect that he would have to ask for so much money. He was so disheartened that he could only believe that the 1.5 million was wasted. He just had a vegetarian meal for a whole year. He just mixed some meat stars during the Chinese New Year and the holidays. He was also severely criticized by the military commander and was punished by a major general. The military rank was also taken from major general to colonel. If it weren't for his achievements several times and his performance was excellent, he would have taken off his military uniform and rushed home, would you think he would not be furious when he heard such news?
"You fucking grandson, you should be ignoring my money. You are afraid you don't want to live anymore, so I won't skin you." Wang Weiguo yelled viciously: "Guard Company, bring the gun with me, I'm going to eat your dog's dick."
