The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 288: The combination of a three-wheeled vehicle and the AK47 of the artillery world is simply invincible

"Xiao Jiang, the emergence of BMW cars seems to have brought considerable stimulation to other domestic car manufacturers."

"Although I heard that Shanghai Auto was negotiating with Volkswagen, I thought the earliest result would be next year."

"I didn't expect that the cooperation agreement would be officially signed this year, and Santana would be assembled and sold next year."

Zhu Jiansheng has been busy with intercontinental ballistic missile launchers recently and has not paid much attention to changes in the domestic automobile industry.

I was quite surprised to suddenly see the news that Shanghai Volkswagen was established.

As Volkswagen is an international automobile giant, Zhu Jiansheng must be worried about whether the emergence of Shanghai Volkswagen will have any impact on the development of BMW.

"That's normal. Originally, everyone's progress was similar and there wasn't much of a gap in their levels, but the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant started to break this situation, and the appearance of our BMW cars added fuel to the fire."

"The entire landscape of China's auto industry has changed dramatically, and it is almost inevitable that other automakers will make some big moves."

Jiang Hui knew that the emergence of a joint venture was inevitable.

Whether it is Shanghai Automobile, FAW, or other automobile manufacturers such as Second Automobile Works, they will inevitably take this path in the future.

Even Capital Automobile Manufacturing may not always insist on developing its own brand of models.

"Does this matter have a big impact on you?"

Zhu Jiansheng knows that the emergence of more joint venture car companies will definitely promote the development of China's automobile industry to a certain extent.

But if this development will affect Jiang Hui's interests, then his position will naturally be on Jiang Hui's side.

"There is definitely an impact, but I'm not too worried."

"On the one hand, their arrival will promote the development of the domestic auto parts industry, and we at BMW can also benefit from this."

“In addition, their initial planning is relatively conservative, and the production of various models is estimated to not keep up with market demand.”

"Besides, Shanghai Volkswagen also used imported parts to assemble Santana at the beginning, so the quantity must be limited."

Although the landscape of the domestic automobile industry has changed compared to the past, some trends will not change significantly.

Besides, Jiang Hui still has many cards to play, so he is not worried at all.

"It would be best if there is no impact, but you also need to pay more attention to industry trends."

Zhu Jiansheng and Jiang Hui had just finished chatting about the domestic automobile industry when they were both called by the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building to attend a special meeting the next day.

"Principal Zhu, Director Jiang, we have invited you two to come to a meeting today. We want to discuss how to use the cooperation projects with the United States to expand the supply of weapons to Afghanistan."

"This project was initially initiated by you, Director Jiang, and it is now producing very good results."

"In the past two years, the situation of polar bears in Argentina has begun to change."

“The development of opposition forces in Afghanistan is also very rapid, which brings us considerable potential benefits.”

"Some time ago, some people in the polar bear country even began to speak out to ease relations with us, which is a good thing for us."

"The more frustration we can cause the polar bears in Argentina, the more they will value their relationship with us."

Wu Senmao is now the chief engineer of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, and all the military factories under his jurisdiction are trying to get more export orders to Afghanistan.

After all, America pays the bill and the country can also export and earn foreign exchange, so everyone must want to get a piece of the pie.

Some military factories have already tasted the benefits of the previous export of BMW 70 and BMW X, so they are naturally more active now.

"We have provided a lot of weapons to Afghanistan this year. America should have received some feedback on their use, right?"

"If you want to expand or add new aid projects and make the United States pay for them, it would be best to make them realize the benefits of these weapons."

If this matter is done well, it will be good for Zhu Jiansheng and for China, so Jiang Hui is naturally willing to offer suggestions.

As the vice president of Capital University of Technology, Zhu Jiansheng is now not only in charge of the affairs of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, but also responsible for the affairs of other colleges.

Many of their school's military-related majors have cooperative projects with various military factories. If this is done well, all parties will benefit.

"It would be great if we could do this, but it's not easy to leave some videos or photos in Afghanistan."

"It would be best if we could show it domestically so that the American side can realize the benefits of this."

Wu Senmao knew that his request was a bit excessive, but the pressure on him was quite great, so he had no choice but to ask for it first.

"Xiao Jiang, this year you have a large amount of BMW X aid to Afghanistan. America knows that BMW X plays a big role in Afghanistan."

"Can we combine the increase in military product exports with the BMW X?"

Zhu Jiansheng knew that everyone was already here, so he had to come up with some plans today.

In that case, let’s discuss it properly.

"This is indeed a good direction. We should have exported some mortars before. These products can be transported on BMW X."

"However, compared to mortars, rocket launchers may be more convenient to use."

"Does our country have any rocket launchers that are relatively small in size, easy to assemble and disassemble, relatively low in cost, and relatively lethal?"

Jiang Hui's familiarity with military products is definitely not as high as Wu Senmao and Zhu Jiansheng.

So I want to hear what they say first.

"Now that you mention it, I think the 107mm rocket launcher is very suitable."

When Wu Senmao mentioned the 107mm rocket launcher, Zhu Jiansheng added: "The 107mm rocket launcher is not only light in total weight, but can also be quickly disassembled and combined. The weight of a single component after disassembly does not exceed 30 kilograms."

"In order to meet the requirements of people's backs, the decomposed parts have several characteristics in terms of structural size: they are not higher than the neck, which is convenient for lifting the head. They are not lower than the hips, which is convenient for striding. They are not wider than the shoulders, which is convenient for passing. The center of gravity is close to the body to prevent twisting of the waist."

"In these aspects, it can be said that no other rocket launcher in the world can compare with the 107 rocket launcher."

"If the 107 rocket launcher is made an export priority, then it is possible to play a huge role when used in combination with the BMW X."

Originally Jiang Hui didn't think of the 107 rocket launcher, but after hearing what Wu Senmao and Zhu Jiansheng said, he immediately thought of something.

"Unlike the rockets currently in service with the United States and the Polar Bear, the 107mm rocket uses a turbine rotation method for flight stabilization."

"The centerline of the rocket is deflected at a small angle. After the rocket is ignited, the gas pushes the rocket forward while also pushing the rocket to rotate like a normal rifled cannon shell, thus ensuring the stability of the shell during flight."

"If necessary, the 107mm artillery shell can be placed directly on the ground without a launcher, and can be fired with a few ordinary batteries and two ordinary iron wires or conductors after aiming."

"Generally speaking, simple launch has better effects when the target distance is 1000-1500 meters."

"What's worse, when we supported Annan before, their people used stones to smash the back covers of 107mm rockets, lined them up on the ground, and then ignited them directly with fire and fired."

“It is indeed very suitable as the next promotion focus.”

Wu Senmao further supplemented his knowledge of the 107 rocket launcher.

At this moment, Jiang Hui immediately confirmed that the 107 rocket launcher was the "AK47 of the artillery world" in his impression.

China's Type 63 107mm rocket launcher looks a bit crude. After being covered with mud, it is hard to tell whether it is a weapon or a farm tool. It has nothing to do with high technology or digitalization.

Despite his unattractive appearance, he has repeatedly performed incredible miracles during his many years of service.

In later generations, armed forces using it were spread all over the world, and it was called the "AK-47" in the rocket launcher world.

This time we focus on exporting it and combining it with the BMW X so it can be moved quickly.

When it reaches a place where it cannot be moved, it can be disassembled and carried by an individual, which can definitely bring a huge impact to the polar bear transport convoy.

"Chief Engineer Wu, Vice President Zhu, we can find a few 107 rocket launchers and place them on the BMW X, and then invite people from the American Embassy to come and watch their special test launch."

"Then arrange a batch of products to assist the opposition forces in Afghanistan as quickly as possible, and let them provide feedback on this product."

"If Afghanistan realizes the demand for 107 rocket launchers by then, there will definitely be no shortage of orders in the future."

"Even the export earnings of the 107 rocket launchers have the opportunity to set a new record."

Jiang Hui gave his suggestion very affirmatively.

Wu Senmao was very happy to hear this and said, "I'll arrange it right away."

……

The Fifth Ministry of Machine Building acted quickly. Just two days later, a group of people from the American Embassy experienced the power of the combination of the 107 rocket launcher and the BMW X at a test range.

Considering that there are quite a few BMW Xs in Argentina, the reputation is also very good.

If it can be combined with the 107 rocket launcher, it seems that it can indeed exert great combat power.

After all, what the A country wanted most before was all kinds of heavy firepower.

However, they occupied mountainous areas, and there was no way to provide them with heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery, and even if they were provided, there would be no chance to use them.

But the 107 rocket launcher is different.

When assembled, they can fire several or even dozens of rocket launchers in succession, and when separated, they are independent rocket launchers one by one.

Just by listening to the description of this weapon, one would think it is very suitable for use by the opposition in the mountainous areas of Afghanistan.

"Jiang, I've never seen you recommend a weapon so strongly before. Are you so confident about the 107 rocket launcher this time?"

Before officially determining the recipient of assistance, Smith met with Jiang Hui for further discussion.

The two have known each other for many years and have developed some personal relationship.

As long as it does not violate principles, both parties are willing to reveal some information or opinions to each other.

"Smith, if I say that the large-scale assistance of 107 rocket launchers will change the situation on the battlefield in Afghanistan and cause huge losses to the polar bears, you will probably think I am exaggerating."

"But this weapon will undoubtedly become the most important heavy weapon equipment for the opposition on the battlefield in Afghanistan in the future. You should be able to feel this."

"The current price of a rocket launcher on a 107 rocket launcher is only $300, which is definitely a good value for money."

"If the United States spends only a few million dollars to purchase 1 of these rocket launchers, it could cause hundreds of millions of dollars, or even immeasurable losses, to the polar bears."

“I think this attempt is totally worth it.”

At this time, Jiang Hui would definitely strongly recommend the 107 rocket launcher.

As the AK47 in the artillery world, he is now very confident in the 107 rocket launcher.

The hot sales of this product can in turn promote BMW X's export earnings.

It’s definitely killing two birds with one stone.

"Since you are so confident, let's buy 1000 of them first to give it a try. If the effect is really good, then let alone 1, even 10 will not be a problem."

Smith talked with Jiang Hui for a while and finally decided to give it a try.

Of course, the price of a single rocket launcher sold in China is US$300. How he actually reports this to the country is not something Jiang Hui needs to worry about.
