Chapter 1077: 463 Across the Ocean
"Comrade General, can you provide more detailed information about this gun? Or can you provide us with two sample guns?"

He did not even bother to be reserved, nor wait to return to China for discussions, and directly expressed his further intentions to our comrades.

Unlike the Zhan-7 which has a speed defect, this gun has no defects!

If what the Orientals said is true, then this gun is the best replacement for the L30 on their own AMX-7.

The Gauls actually wanted to replace John Bull's L7, but their own guns were not powerful enough. They proposed to Hans to jointly develop new guns, but Hans refused because Hans bought 1500 L7s in one go! The Gauls had no choice but to use L7.

But now, he sees hope for a solution.

Our comrade laughed and said, "You can bring this up with our relevant department. I don't have the authority to promise you anything. My job is to show you this gun."

Although he couldn't make the decision himself, he was still happy to see the foreigners' eagerness in the face of their new weapons.

The deputy director knew that he was too anxious. There was nothing he could do. The main problem was that tanks were a problem for the Gauls.

"Oh, it's my fault. I was so presumptuous. Thank you for your work, Mr. General." The deputy director came out of his anxious mood and thanked our comrade.

On the way back to Beijing, the deputy director, Jacques, and Matteo looked at each other in the car and laughed, but their laughter was a little awkward.

Anti-ship missiles, light multi-purpose fighters, anti-tank missiles, tank guns... Each of them found something that interested them, and they were a little eager.

"We think we have completed our mission perfectly this time, but there may be a lot of work to do next," said the deputy director.

This time, not only did I see the equipment I wanted to see, I even discovered new treasures. The work on this trip was naturally completed very well.

But this means that there are a lot of things to do next. If one or two of these can be successful, there will be a lot of work to be done.

Especially when they hope to acquire technology, it is well known that the difficulty and workload of buying finished products and buying technology are not at the same level at all.
-
Gao Zhendong was very curious about what kind of surprise the 105 slide would bring to the Gauls, but he did not ask about it. If the Gauls were really interested, they would definitely come to him later.

He was answering a phone call from Beijing University of Technology.

Today is not Tuesday, and the comrades from Beijing University of Technology can only solve the problem over the phone if they want to find him.

The person who called him was Professor Liu from the 61 gun clan, and the reason was quite interesting.

"...Commissioner Gao, you don't know. When I first received this mission, I was completely confused. How could a gun expert like me deal with these optical, electrical, and automatic control systems..."

Professor Liu was complaining madly on the phone. Fortunately, they now had a programmable switch so the line wouldn't be disconnected, otherwise the call would have been terminated long ago.

Gao Zhendong, who already had some understanding of what he said, smiled and said, "That's not surprising. You were the one who developed the Type 61 gun family, so you're the first person that came to mind when it comes to developing the training system."

At this point, Gao Zhendong couldn't help laughing, with a hint of gloating. Comrade Lao Liu did feel like he had been cheated.

He was the one who made the gun, but the simulation training system and the gun are two completely different fields. Asking Professor Liu to work on this is indeed a bit of a rush.

Professor Liu should provide basic data and parameters, and conduct some theoretical analysis of the simulation training system. To realize this, it should be done by comrades engaged in electronics. If more things such as wind deviation and trajectory are to be taken into consideration, comrades engaged in computer science should also be brought in.

Professor Liu was even more upset when he heard Gao Zhendong's words: "You are a person who is good at both firearms and automatic weapons. Tell me yourself, are you right to say this? Can these two things be linked together?"

"Sure." Gao Zhendong answered the question smoothly without blinking.

"This..." Professor Liu then remembered that for Gao Zhendong, it was not difficult at all to put these two things together.

Resisting the urge to speak sweetly, Professor Liu smiled and said, "Well, that's what you said. I'm here to ask for your support. Just based on what you said just now, Commissioner Gao, you have to give me some support no matter what."

For him, it was easier to find Gao Zhendong than to ask someone from the school. He knew it was impossible for Gao Zhendong to step in person, and there was no need for Commissioner Gao to step in personally.

But Commissioner Gao knows exactly who can cooperate with him and complete the task successfully.

Gao Zhendong laughed and said, "Okay, no problem. In this way, I support you to major in electronics and computer science."

In the electronics laboratory of the Technical Department of the Third Factory, these two majors can still be squeezed out, and this kind of military project can also be regarded as a gold-plating for their subordinates. Students are not suitable for participating in this kind of project, mainly because it requires a lot of practical experience. Students may have no problem with basic knowledge, but they may make mistakes or delays in experience. Professor Liu was overjoyed: "Good, good, I know that Commissioner Gao cares about the difficulties of our scientific researchers, and the support is still in place. Thank you in advance, when will the people arrive?"

It seems that Professor Liu is really pushed into a corner and is very anxious.

"I'll be there for work in the afternoon, is that ok?" Gao Zhendong was not stingy.

"Okay, okay, thank you so much! You are really a living Buddha." Professor Liu started to joke as soon as the problem was solved. He was a committee member or not. He was a committee member only when he asked you for support. Once he got the support, he would put the committee member thing aside.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Zhendong pressed the hook spring of the telephone, and a call came to the electronics laboratory, requesting that the electronics laboratory arrange two people.

This matter was not big, and the requirements for personnel were not high. Naturally, it was impossible for Fang Yinghong, who had become the deputy director of the Electronic Laboratory, to do it personally. She selected two people according to Gao Zhendong's request and sent them to Beijing University of Technology.

After arranging this matter, Gao Zhendong called back the two comrades from the Technical Department who had avoided the matter and continued working on the steel manual.

However, he always has a lot of things to do now, and when he was working in the afternoon, another phone call came in.

"Hello, Commissioner Gao. I'm from the Ministry of Foreign Trade. Hahaha."

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade started laughing as soon as he came up, and the word "committee member" was half-joking and half-formal.

It is said to be formal because others call the committee members "committee members", but when they call them leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, it implies that they are on the same level.

"Hey, leader, hello." Gao Zhendong laughed, mainly because he didn't know what was going on.

The leader didn't have time for small talk, and went straight to the point: "Congratulations to you first. The 463 engine you developed and the AMT gearbox you guided will be shipped overseas next year! Our Foreign Trade Department has to thank you again."

Oh, this is really a happy event.

"Congratulations, boss. Your business is growing bigger and bigger."

"Not bad, not bad. A country under the Economic Aid Council has taken a liking to our imitated and improved luxury sedan, and specifically requested a 463 engine with a semi-automatic transmission. Without waiting for us to complete the modification, they have already placed an order for 500 units, to be delivered next year." Speaking of this, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade was very happy. Selling cars abroad, who would have thought of this a few years ago.

Gao Zhendong was surprised when he heard this number. This number is not small in this day and age. There are not many large countries in the Economic Assistance Association. And judging from the fact that they "shipped across the ocean", they should be from Europe, which is quite remarkable.

"Wow, big business! The comrades from Beijing Automobile Factory will have to work hard." Gao Zhendong still admired the comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade. They could sell a car that had not been completely modified smoothly, and they sold 500 cars at the first opening.

"I still have to thank you. You don't know that the other party was not very interested in this car at first, after all, there are Russians around. But after looking at the engine parameters and sitting in it for a couple of laps, he decided on the spot and couldn't let it go."

This is not surprising, as the 463 engine competes well with Hans's 220-liter engine in the Mercedes-Benz 2.23S, and its power per liter is superior to the other engine.

Our car has a Mercedes-Benz-like foundation and a good chassis, plus some materials from the 6011 Battle, so overall it is pretty good.

There are not many countries in the Economic Aid Association that can produce luxury cars, and there are not many countries that cannot produce them but can buy Mercedes-Benz. There are even fewer countries that can buy them and afford them in large quantities.

There is no doubt that domestically produced luxury cars equipped with 463 engines and semi-automatic transmissions are attractive to them.

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade called Gao Zhendong to thank him for this reason. The leader knew very well that without the support of 463 and AMT, this deal would probably not be done.

After expressing his gratitude, he asked in passing: "You are familiar with the equipment of the troops. Do you know if they have suitable ships, such as landing ships of suitable size but not armed? If they don't have them, I really don't know how to transport these 500 vehicles next year."

This is just a casual question, since the call has already been made.

The country has never exported cars, so it would be difficult for the merchant fleet to transport 500 cars over there quickly, efficiently and economically, so he came up with the idea of ​​using troop landing ships. However, landing ships are rather sensitive, and if they were to send them over like this, my allies might be surprised.

So he casually asked Gao Zhendong if he knew whether the army had any unarmed landing ships. He did not necessarily mean to get an answer. It was more like a casual chat than an inquiry.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zhendong gave him a small surprise: "I do have a kind of ship that is very suitable, and the army is also working on it, but I don't know if it has been completed yet."
