The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chief Lu and Director Feng returned from the 2I Tank Regiment.

The small jeep from the army was sent back to them, and it was specially allocated by the 2I Regiment for them to use. They can use it until the end of this project.

Li Feng was standing by the window in the office building. He happened to see the two people getting off the car. He immediately notified his secretary and asked them to come to the office.

"Eh~!"

"How come you two are so energetic after living in the army for a few days?"

When the two men arrived at the office on the fourth floor, Li Feng could tell at a glance that the two men's auras were a little different.

To be honest, I felt a little timid before, but after coming back today, I feel a few years younger.

"Well, Director Feng said that it was even more enjoyable than the days when his wife went back to her parents' home~!"

Section Chief Lu, who was holding the materials in his hands, saw that Secretary Li looked relaxed and made a small joke.

"Take care of yourself, take care of yourself. Don't mention it. Get up at 6 o'clock, go to bed at 9:30, get up in the morning, and run with them. You will feel younger~!"

Director Feng was also holding a file bag in his hand. When he heard Director Lu teasing him, he put the file bag on the coffee table and stretched out on the fabric sofa.

As a man, every man has a dream of joining the army. Li Feng can understand this very well. Just like a person who has never shot a gun will never know the feeling of pulling the trigger of a 95 to the bottom and firing a whole magazine of bullets.

At that time, I led the first batch of driving school students to support the two sessions. The army was next door, and the little kids were screaming and crying. That kind of excitement lasted for two months, and that feeling gradually disappeared.

"Well, doesn't it need to be installed on this turret?"

Li Feng took the folder handed to him by Section Chief Lu, opened it, and saw the side view of the Type 59 tank on the front page, of course, with the grille armor added.

However, unexpectedly, there is no addition on the turret, only a layer of fine grille is installed around the body. From the front view on the second page, the grille in the front is installed at an angle, according to the inclination of the front armor.

"The turret was installed on the first vehicle, but after testing it at the shooting range, the Chief of Staff decided to stop it for a while~!"

Chief Lu flipped the folder a few pages back and found the page with the drawing of the turret with the grille.

"what reason?"

Li Feng nodded and turned it over again. Since the troops asked him to stop for a while, he didn't need to study this one for the time being.

"First, it affects the gunner's sight. Second, it affects the smoke launcher. Third, the weight affects the rotation rate of the turret. Finally, we may choose to install it behind the turret~!"

Chief Lu told Li Feng what he knew. The combination of these parts had already had a slight impact on the combat effectiveness.

Of course, it is possible to optimize it a second time, but the other party asked for a pause, so the steel mill will first polish the grille around the car body.

"Not only that, it may also be related to the ammunition. When I was welding the first tank, I noticed that the ammunition of this tank was stored under the turret. The main focus of protection is also below to avoid being blown up by a rocket launcher that penetrates the body of the tank~!"

Director Feng is no pushover either. After these few days of installation, he has gained some insights of his own.

They both knew what the grille armor was used for. It was to increase the tank's defense. The defense was to defend key positions. If the turret was penetrated, the most that would result would be casualties, and the tank's ability to move would also be affected.

"There is another reason. I talked to their second battalion commander. The turret of this tank is round. They said that this design is to prevent the shells from hitting the tank from flying out. If a grille is added, the chance of ricocheting will be reduced, which is a bit ugly~!"

Picking up the teacup lid on the coffee table, which happened to have a curve, Director Feng used his finger as a cannonball and gestured. The originally smooth turret actually reduced its defensive effect after adding the grille.

"That's fine. We'll do whatever they ask. How about the car body? Did it go smoothly after the installation?"

After understanding the reason, Li Feng stopped worrying about it. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. When the disadvantages outweigh the advantages and considering the actual combat needs, he still has to listen to the troops.

“It was smooth, but not smooth. There were a few problems along the way, but after resolving them and testing, it’s pretty good so far~!”

Chief Lu continued to flip through the drawings. These days, not only the two of them, but also welders, fitters and technicians brought several experts with them. They installed and modified the parts at the same time, and finally they got some results.

"As for the track position, considering the emergency replacement, the hinges on the window are welded to the lower grille, which can be folded outward 2 degrees for temporary track replacement~!" The steel rolling mill had no military industry foundation and everything was moving forward by trial and error. At this time, the I Regiment seemed to be a difficult-to-talk-to Party A, and frequently made suggestions for modifications to the steel rolling mill, Party B.

This has to be done. Although the grille armor has a simple process and can be made at a glance, it still takes a lot of effort to install it on the Type 59 tank.

"What about your side?"

After reviewing Chief Lu’s work over the past few days, Li Feng closed the folder and then looked at Director Feng.

The Technical Department is responsible for the revisions, and Director Feng is responsible for leading the team. The two of them came back together, and we had to hear what he had to say.

"I, I'm fine. I don't know how to do acetylene cutting or arc welding. I can only direct them to do the work. If we need to install all the equipment later, we will have to transfer personnel from the welding workshop. Secretary, you will have to take action~!"

Director Feng is quite honest, which is why he has been so energetic these days. He just needs to ensure that the grille is installed. As for how to install it, that will test the skills of the welder.

The 2I Regiment proposed modifications, and it was Director Lu who led the team to come up with a new design. Between using the brain and using the technology, Director Feng chose to take action.

"There's no problem with the personnel. We should be able to transfer more than a dozen people to the welding workshop. It won't be a problem for a few more cutting workers to go~!"

As for the personnel arrangement, Li Feng had already made preparations in advance. After the design was finalized, it only needed to be produced in the factory and then taken over for installation. The most troublesome part was welding. After the supporting points for the grille installation were welded, the follow-up was simple.

No, doesn’t the 2I Regiment also have armor maintenance personnel? We should start teaching them how to install it. It’s not a big problem.

"What about the armored vehicles? Last time we went there, didn't they say there were armored command vehicles?"

Suddenly thinking of this, Li Feng took a quick look at Director Feng's document. On it was the calculated grille area required for the tank and the amount of steel plates needed.

"My dear Secretary Li, we have to take it step by step. Tank has finally figured it out. It has only been a few days. We have to come back and see what the situation is like in the workshop~!"

Director Feng patted his forehead, lay down on the sofa, and faced with the whip wielding by Li Feng, he chose to lie down first.

Thinking about the armor, he also had a headache. In the past few days, he had seen armored vehicles and measured it visually. The area covered by the grille was not small. The size and height of the vehicle body were similar to that of a truck, so the workload was indeed not low.

"Okay, you guys take care of it, I'll do the overall planning, if you need anything, just contact the factory~!"

He wasn't embarrassed to blush. Li Feng was only thinking about reconnecting Mr. Huang's legs as soon as possible.

The grille armor led the charge, the bulletproof plates followed in the middle, and there was a series of related work arrangements waiting for them. In the drawer, there were piles of finished drawings waiting for them to put into practice.

Even if there is no transformation to the defense industry now, the steel rolling mill has already had a smooth start. Once the situation is opened up, transformation is inevitable.

As for the opportunity for transformation, Li Feng silently glanced out the window.

I don’t know whether the higher-ups have reached a conclusion, and why, after several months, no answer has been given.

"Dingling bell~!"

The telephone on the table bounced. After reporting their work, the two people packed up their documents and prepared to go back. All these materials had to be stored in the safe.

When it comes to the tank regiment guarding the capital, all these design drawings, surveying and installation data are like a knife hanging over one's forehead.

"The Beijing Confidential Bureau, important documents, why are you calling me, hurry up and get someone in~!"

Upon hearing the name of this special unit, the two people who had just completed their work and breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly looked at each other and took a breath of cold air.

At this cadre level, if you don't even know what confidential documents are, then your work is in vain.

"Secretary Li?"

"Be prepared, there are going to be changes in the factory~!" (End of this chapter)
