In the battle of the Faka Mountains, the portable rocket launcher played a decisive role, which made Wu Tianming, who led the main attack battalion at that time, seized the main position of the Faka Mountains with a strong defense. Because of this, when the new tank leadership group was established, Wu Tianming had a natural favor for Zhao Rusong, an old expert who participated in the initial development of the portable rocket launcher and presided over the subsequent improvements, and therefore had more contact with Zhao Rusong.

If he was an ordinary officer, Zhao Rusong would have a common friendship, but Wu Tianming was different. He had a lot of ideas about weapons and equipment in his mind. The development of the Type 78 assault rifle and the supporting gun-mounted grenade launcher he participated in during his military representative at Wanshan Factory also laid a certain technical foundation for him. In addition, his practical experience in border wars over the past few years, when it comes to weapons and equipment, they often point to the root of the ground and hit the nail on the head, which is something that many military experts, including Zhao Rusong, do not have. Therefore, after a while, Wu Tianming and Zhao Rusong have become friends who can talk about everything.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Tianming knows Zhao Rusong's temper very well, especially the words that can make people choke when they get angry, which impressed Wu Tianming. However, Wu Tianming would use the excellent response and control skills he has developed on the battlefield to easily resolve Zhao Rusong's choking words. However, at this moment, Wu Tianming's ease of response in daily life can't use anyway. The reason is very simple, because now he is at a loss for Lu Jiadong and Zhao Rusong's decisions.

Because just after he arrived at the inspection and testing ground, Lu Jiadong and Zhao Rusong found him and discussed with him about the composite armor test. As the person in charge of the overall quality of new tanks, Wu Tianming naturally prepared for this, and the relevant test plans were placed in his briefcase.

I thought it would be enough to follow the plan step by step, but after Lu Jiadong and Zhao Rusong looked at the plan, they proposed to use the supporting ammunition of the new tank that had just been made for the test. Wu Tianming was shocked when he heard this proposal. You must know that the ammunition equipped for the new tank has not been finalized, not to mention that the new tank guns have not been produced. The most important thing is that no other 120mm caliber tank guns can be found in the test site or the entire G military region.

In this way, even if there is ammunition, it cannot be fired. However, what he did not expect was that Zhao Rusong proposed to use the British "Chief" MK-5 main battle tank allocated to Wanshan Factory for reference for the new tank development team to study and refer to, because the tank guns carried on the modified tank were exactly 120mm.

After hearing Zhao Rusong's words, Wu Tianming couldn't believe his ears. Although he was not very proficient in military technology, he still knew basic knowledge and knew very well that the ammunition transferred to smoothbore guns was not that it could not be fired with rifled guns, but it contained relatively large risks, especially the ammunition fired by tank guns, which could easily cause the danger of burning the barrel, destroying the ammunition, or even blowing the barrel under the action of high initial velocity and high chamber pressure.

Because of this, when he listened to Zhao Rusong's proposal, as the person in charge of quality and safety in the entire leadership group, Wu Tianming's head shook like a rattle, but even so, Zhao Rusong still insisted. Even Lu Jiadong, who had always been cautious, vaguely supported Zhao Rusong's opinion, which made Wu Tianming, who was worried about the possibility of safety and quality problems, was so embarrassed that after listening to Zhao Rusong's words, he didn't know what to say for a long time. After a while, he frowned tightly and continued to say to Lu Jiadong and Zhao Rusong:

"The supporting ammunition for the new tank has not been finalized at all. Moreover, it was developed according to the requirements of smoothbore guns when they were originally designed. Now the test is to use rifled guns to attack. If you are not good, you need to......"

Wu Tianming didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already beyond words. Both Lu Jiadong and Zhao Rusong present were experts in this field, and they didn't understand Wu Tianming's worries. In response, Lu Jiadong turned his head and was about to explain to Wu Tianming, but saw Zhao Rusong standing beside him with his eyebrows raised up and asked at Wu Tianming:

"I'm talking about Xiao Wu, you've been to Guinan Precision Machinery Factory, which develops tank supporting ammunition, not once or twice. Do you only see anti-tank ammunition for smoothbore guns?"

"The new tank is used with a 120mm smoothbore gun. My supervisor's quality does not look at the smoothbore gun ammunition and see what else is doing... Well?.........what is right..................................................."

Wu Tianming said it with confidence at first, but as he was talking, he suddenly felt something was wrong. After all, he was also a cadre who had been in the army and military system for many years. Although he was still inferior to those old foxes who had become spirits, he was also a person who entered the Fox Club. So after hearing what Zhao Rusong said, Wu Tianming immediately reacted, his eyes opened wide and said in surprise:

"Professor Zhao, have you also developed anti-tank ammunition that is transferred with a 120mm rifled gun?"

"This, you have to ask our Chief Executive Lu!" Looking at Wu Tianming with a surprised look, Zhao Rusong did not answer, but looked at Lu Jiadong beside him with a smile. Seeing Zhao Rusong keep him in silence, Wu Tianming, who was impatient, could not wait. He also looked at Lu Jiadong opposite him with a burning gaze like Zhao Rusong. Lu Jiadong, who was standing in place waiting for the train to stand, was stunned at first, thinking that Zhao Rusong had learned to keep him in silence at a time, but that's good. After all, the small cold humor is much better than being serious and indifferent all day...

Just as Lu Jiadong was stunned, Wu Tianming, who was anxious, quickly stepped forward and asked Lu Jiadong anxiously: "Jiadong, why are you standing there? You are saying something. Could it be that our new tank needs to be equipped with two types of tank guns?"

Hearing Wu Tianming's words, Lu Jiadong also broke free from his thoughts, and a calm smile appeared on his face: "It's not equipped with two types of tank guns, but with two types of ammunition!"

After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Wu Tianming became even more confused: "Give two types of ammunition?"

"That's right!" As soon as Wu Tianming finished speaking, Lu Jiadong nodded affirmatively: "The British 'Chief' mk-5 main battle tank assigned to our new tank leadership group was provided to us by Iran, so that we can produce spare parts and other related supporting equipment for modified tanks for them. Most of them are assigned to the Northern Factory, which is experienced in the production of tank armored vehicles, but one of them is still assigned to other factories, and the production tasks of the supporting ammunition were entrusted by the superiors to the Guinan Factory to complete!"

"It just so happens that the supporting ammunition of the new tank is also 120mm, so Xiao Lu suggested that based on our newly developed supporting ammunition, we should improve an anti-tank ammunition suitable for the use of 120mm rifled guns, so that it can be exported to countries such as Iran and other countries equipped with such anti-tank guns!" As soon as Lu Jiadong finished speaking, Zhao Rusong immediately followed the topic and pushed the glasses stuck on his nose. He also smiled rarely seen on his face on his face, and continued to say to Wu Tianming:

"So, we use the supporting ammunition of the 120mm smoothbore gun as the benchmark and improve it according to the specific requirements of the rifled gun. The specific method is to adopt a structure called "sliding ammunition belt" by Xiao Lu!"

“Sliding elastic belt?”

"When you went to Guinan Factory to check the quality two days ago, you saw an armor-piercing bomb with a 'sliding elastic belt' structure? Just a few days later, Xiao Wu, wouldn't you forget so quickly, right?"

"Professor Zhao, are you talking......" After hearing Zhao Rusong say this, Wu Tianming remembered that he did go to Guinan Factory a few days ago to check the quality. In the trial production workshop, he did see several armor-piercing shells with two spiral rings on the bullet holder. At that time, he thought it was some kind of measuring mold, so he didn't care. Now, after Zhao Rusong said that Wu Tianming woke up as soon as he dreamed. The two spiral inner and outer rings were just the belts of the rifled cannon. Thinking of this, Wu Tianming couldn't help but slap his forehead with his hand:

"Oh! Look at my head, and you don't say a few more questions when you see it. You think it's a mold. My heart is so rough that it's gone. This...this...this is really...ah..."

Wu Tianming was very upset about his carelessness. You should know that he was the director of the Military Quality Inspection Office of the New Tank Leading Group. When he saw ammunition that did not match the specifications, he just took it for granted and did not go into detail. Fortunately, this was ammunition improved for rifled guns, otherwise the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable. Thinking of this, Wu Tianming was not only annoyed, but also deeply afraid. Although it was already deep winter, there was still a cold sweat rolling down his back...

"So you must keep your eyes open in the future, and you can't take it for granted!" Just as Wu Tianming regretted his carelessness, one shoulder was suddenly gently patted by someone, and then a friendly and familiar voice came from his ear:

"The military quality certification system is only a system to ensure quality, and careful inspection and verification are also essential. As the saying goes, both hands must be strong. Only when the two are combined and complement each other can the production of military products be completed with quality and quantity, is not it!"

"Jiadong, I remember!" After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Wu Tianming's bright eyes flashed with a ray of shamelessness before bravery, and his strong face was extremely firm. Even the nodding several times was unusually solemn. Lu Jiadong didn't say anything else, but just patted Wu Tianming's shoulder again. After all, as his status continued to rise, some words were inconvenient to say so bluntly, just click it to the point...
