Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 148 Big Brother's Greed

"Minister Chekov, we cannot possibly accept your conditions. Even though light weapons are no longer the main factor in determining the outcome of a war, every soldier cannot do without them, right?"

"The weapon we designed is absolutely epoch-making in terms of both its performance and design concept."

"We don't take it out just to exchange for some money."

Just when we were worrying about the construction and research funds, in a conference room of the General Assembly Department in Sijiu City, a leader wearing a Type 55 military uniform said to the Big Brother representative across the conference table.

Ever since Khrushchev ordered to obtain the technology of our Type 56 gun family, Big Brother immediately organized a delegation to discuss the introduction of technology with us.

At the beginning, Big Brother wanted to get it for free. After all, some of the technologies they supported us with before were also given for free.

But the technologies they gave us for free are either already outdated and about to be eliminated.

Either we spend a lot of money to buy a certain amount of finished equipment, and then promise to buy related equipment and key components from them, and the technology is just a gift.

That is to say, before giving us the technology for free, they had already made a lot of money.

The Type 56 submachine gun and Type 56 light machine gun in our Type 56 gun family are new equipment that we have not yet put into service, and their design concept is absolutely the first of its kind in the world.

Well, Big Brother only needs the technical drawings of the Type 56 submachine gun and Type 56 light machine gun. As for the Type 56 semi-automatic machine gun, those were all technologies that Big Brother himself provided to us for free before. Why do we still need them?

We take into account that the Type 56 assault rifle is a modification of the AK47 and does use the technology of Big Brother, so the requirements are already very low, that is, one each of Big Brother's R1 and R2 missiles.

Of these two missiles, the R1 has a range of only over 2 kilometers, and the R1 is an enhanced version of the R, with a range of just over kilometers.

Big Brother actually doesn't take these two missiles very seriously. They only have a range of a few hundred kilometers. Even if we have them, we can't hit their core areas in the west.

In the original history, at the end of this year, Big Brother would give us the technical assistance for these two missiles.

But that was because Khrushchev was in a situation of internal and external troubles at the time. In order to win our support, he gave us the technology of these two missiles despite the opposition of the military.

Now, Khrushchev, who is in high spirits, certainly does not want to offend the military for such a small matter as ours.

So Big Brother's representatives refused to give in and acted as if they had reservations. They would rather offset more of our loans than give us missile technology, even just finished missiles.

"Cheng, you also know that there is no technology protection in the military field. We are willing to give you some financial compensation because of the relationship between our two countries." "We now have the design drawings and data of your so-called Type 56 gun family, and we also have the production technology, so you don't have to ask for an exorbitant price."

"Fuck, have the Russians already started production themselves?" Our representative had a bad feeling after hearing what the Big Brother's representative said.

I'm afraid it's not just Big Brother. All countries with production capabilities have probably already started developing their own gun families, right?

After all, it is just light weapons and equipment, not a very difficult technology. As long as that layer of window paper is broken, there will be no other problems. It is nothing more than improvements made by various countries based on the original firearms.

With just two missiles with a range of only a few hundred kilometers, they want to take away us, the golden goose that lays eggs.

"What does Mr. Qian say?" We are in a financial crisis right now, and we feel reluctant to give the car's technical drawings to Big Brother.

"Mr. Qian said that it would be better if we had ready-made missiles. If we don't have them, we don't know if we can make them, but it will take a little longer. And without the real thing, the progress of training relevant professional talents will be slowed down a lot. After all, not many of us have seen missiles."

A thin old man with a Wu Province accent said with a frown.

"We are still short of talent!" The head of the Central Command sighed and finally made a decision: "Give it to them if they want it. We don't want to owe them any favors in this regard, but the training of missile talents cannot be delayed."

"We have made some progress in the research of atomic bombs, and we cannot fall behind in the research of missiles. Otherwise, bullets alone will be useless without guns, and we still cannot speak with our heads held high."

"We managed to survive on steamed corn bread and millet porridge back then, how could it be more miserable now?"

The chief said this in a sonorous and powerful voice, as if he had made some kind of determination.

When they learned that we accepted their conditions, the Big Brother delegation was delighted: "Dawali, we need the technology for this kind of car, and we also want to use this car to help you convince those military generals. Without their approval, we have no way to give you the missiles."

"Don't worry, I will definitely get more assistance for you when I go back, and I won't let you suffer too much!"

Looking at this guy with a smile on his face, our representative wanted to punch him in the face.

Although both parties agreed that the car produced by Big Brother could only be sold in their own country, in the original plan, Big Brother was the largest market for this car.
