The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1050 Military Production
Islamabad.

As the war has continued for more than a month, the atmosphere here seems heavier than it was more than a month ago.

Even military training camps were set up in Islamabad to train soldiers, who were then sent to the front after some training.

Pakistan has a very unique topography. Three-fifths of the country is mountainous and hilly, the southern coastal area is desert, and the northward stretches to continuous plateau pastures and fertile land. The three world-famous mountain ranges of the Himalayas, Karakoram Mountains and Hindu Kush Mountains converge in the northwest of Pakistan, forming a unique landscape. The Indus River, which originates from China, enters Pakistan and flows from north to south for 2300 kilometers before finally flowing into the Arabian Sea.

For Pakistan, the Indus Plain is Pakistan's grain-producing area. It is precisely because of this huge grain-producing area, the Indus Plain, that Pakistan's total population has reached its current 1.54 million without experiencing large-scale famine.

Now India is attacking the Indus Plain with the intention of seizing the Indus Plain, which is unacceptable to Pakistan.

Once Pakistan loses the Indus Plain, it will be close to collapse.

Pakistan chose to take tough measures and confront India head-on because Pakistan actually has no choice.

Because of the relationship with Khalistan, there is no need to deploy any troops in the Kashmir region. Most of Pakistan's troops are deployed on the eastern front to guard against India.

As the war broke out, Pakistan mobilized immediately.

Now, Pakistan has launched a nationwide mobilization, with more retired soldiers and more young people being drafted into the army.

The loss of people is just one or two million, considering the population size of Pakistan, but Pakistan can bear it because they can just reproduce in the future.

But if Pakistan loses the Indus Plain, it will be finished.

At Islamabad railway station, an 80-car train arrived. These trains had no carriages as they were loaded with tanks.

All of them are Type 59 modified main battle tanks, a total of 80 vehicles!
The Type 59 modified main battle tank was created by Zhu Yusheng and others with great effort based on the Type 59 main battle tank. It does not meet the standards of a third-generation main battle tank, but it has met the standards of a second-generation and a half main battle tank, and its performance has been greatly improved.

The armored defense capability, diesel engine, tank main gun, aiming system, etc. make the 59 modified main battle tank actually equivalent to the 59 main battle tank.

The war lasted for more than a month, and the tank and armored forces of the Pakistani, Qatari and Nepalese armies suffered heavy losses and needed more tanks and armored vehicles.

These Type 59 modified main battle tanks are sold at a half-price and half-given away price.

In the next five months, the Type 59 modified tanks purchased by Pakistan, Qatar and Nigeria will completely eliminate China's Type 59 tanks.

From then on, in the whole of China, except for military museums, the Type 59 main battle tank was almost never seen again.

The train stopped and the soldiers began to drive the Type 59 main battle tanks off the train.

80 Type 59 modified main battle tanks will be quickly added to the front line.

After both parties completed the handover and signed, the task was completed.

The First Machinery Factory became busy right after the New Year.

All the workshops are very busy.

One by one, the Type 59 modified tanks are being inspected and repaired, and then driven to the parking area and transported away by rail at regular intervals. One by one, the Type 59 main battle tanks transported to the First Machine Factory are being modified here and converted into Type 59 modified tanks.

Various engines, tank main guns, etc. were transported to the First Machine Factory by rail, and some were even transported by air.

Since receiving the order from the superiors, the war machine of the First Machine Factory has been running at full power.

Time is life, time is money!
Similar to the First Machine Factory, there is also the Second Machine Factory!
The war machine of the Second Machine Factory also ran at full power, inspecting and repairing the Type 59 modified tanks, as well as modifying the Type 59 main battle tanks and completing the upgrade.

Tanks were transported to the First and Second Machine Factory one after another, and then the modified Type 59 tanks were transported to the south one after another.

Shancheng Tank and Armored Vehicle Production Base, the entire production base has been put into full production after the previous adaptation.

Shancheng Tank and Armored Vehicle Production Base is the second largest tank and armored vehicle production base in China. Normally, it can produce 2500 tanks and armored vehicles annually, and in an emergency, it can even produce 5000 tanks and armored vehicles annually.

The Rongcheng Tank and Armored Vehicle Production Base is the largest tank and armored vehicle production base in China, with an annual production capacity of 7500 tanks and armored vehicles.

Over the past decade, apart from a portion of the tanks and armored vehicles produced by Panshan Group being exported, the rest were used to equip the troops.

千禧年华夏对外宣布初步建成机械化部队的背后，是华夏陆军装备了1500辆80式主战坦克、2000辆81式中型坦克、1500辆81式轻型坦克、600辆81式水陆两用坦克，700辆80式自行高炮、3800辆81式步兵战车，其余81式120毫米自行迫榴炮、81式122毫米火箭弹、81式反坦克导弹发射车、81式122毫米自行榴弹炮、81式120毫米自行迫击炮共8000辆。

In addition, there are a large number of military transport vehicles, military command vehicles, military electronic warfare vehicles, and military off-road vehicles!

At this time, the Shancheng Tank and Armored Vehicle Production Base no longer produced self-use versions, but was producing export versions, and could produce 208 tanks and armored vehicles in about a month.

Not only the Shancheng Tank and Armored Vehicle Production Base, but also the Chengdu Tank and Armored Vehicle Production Base is producing export versions of tanks and armored vehicles. The Chengdu Tank and Armored Vehicle Production Base can produce 625 tanks and armored vehicles a month.

Once these tanks are produced, they will be transported out and shipped to Kalimandu and Islamabad by rail.

Bullet factories, artillery factories, missile factories, rocket factories and other military factories are constantly producing various types of bullets, artillery shells, rockets and missiles!
Although what we are using now are all from the arsenal, it is better to be prepared.

Liu Tao inspected the production bases of the China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, visited various military factories, and inspected various arsenals.

As the situation became more serious, Liu Tao even had to prepare for the outbreak of war.

The weapons and ammunition produced are not only to be delivered to customers in South Asia, but also to be considered for Southeast Asia.

Throughout the world, there are more wars and more countries experiencing unrest.

Even in Latin America, unrest has occurred.

In the South Seas, the pirates and rebel forces seemed to be energized. Their attitude changed 180 degrees and they even claimed to establish an independent country.

Even Japan, under the rhetoric of "Japan's lost decade", has become very ambiguous, making it hard to tell what its real intentions are and whether it is still possible to have fun.

Just as Liu Tao had worried before, the atmosphere in the northeast became weird, and it felt like a storm was about to come!
