Chapter 524 Return to Peace
Another important reason that forced the United States to abandon its operations in Libya was that the suppressed Middle East war was ignited again!
The Israeli army was ambushed by guerrillas, and a patrol team of 20 people was wiped out.
Tanks and armored vehicles were directly penetrated by shoulder-fired anti-tank missiles.
In retaliation, the Israeli army attacked a guerrilla stronghold and eliminated hundreds of guerrillas in the stronghold.
The Israeli army made a lot of propaganda, but did not make a very tough speech.
As a result, the two sides fought.
Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine all moved.
The Israeli army started a war on five fronts.
For Israel, which is only the size of a palm, the bad situation of being surrounded by enemies is very obvious.
The Israeli Air Force, which has air superiority, was shot down as soon as many planes took off this time!
The missile positions deployed by Syria in the Bekaa Valley have become a nightmare for the Israeli Air Force.
Israel, which is the size of a palm, has suffered a great loss in this regard. Its small territory has no depth.
The air force base is directly within the range of the opponent's air defense missiles.
What made the Israeli army collapse was that the guerrillas didn't know where they got so many gas cylinders and used them as artillery shells.
In just one day, Israel asked for help from its own son.
In this case, no matter how unwilling the United States was, it had to compromise.
It had to form a balance with the Soviet Union in Europe so that the Soviet Union would not dare to start a war easily, and it had to spend a lot of energy and effort to run around and coordinate in the Middle East countries to quell the war in the Middle East.
If this continues, the international crude oil price will go to $60 per barrel!
Finally, the wars on all sides gradually subsided.
Even in the South Asian subcontinent, the war has temporarily subsided.
Because high temperatures swept across South Asia, it was no longer suitable for war at this time. The heat would kill people, let alone fighting.
Every year, high temperatures will kill hundreds or thousands of people in South Asia. If there is another war, there will be more deaths.
As the situation gradually stabilized, oil prices also fell rapidly.
First, it broke through the high of $50/barrel, then quickly broke through the high of $40/barrel, and then it reached $35/barrel and could not fall any further. The international crude oil price fluctuated around $35/barrel.
At this point, it was the supply and demand relationship of oil that determined it.
The United States needs to replenish a large amount of reserve oil, and its own oil consumption is large. The supply and demand of the market is there, and it is difficult to suppress the price.
Just when the world situation was easing, Liu Tao was at the headquarters of Panshan Group.
In front of Liu Tao were tanks and armored vehicles.
Type 80 main battle tank, Type 81 medium tank, Type 81 light tank, Type 81 amphibious tank, Type 81 tracked infantry fighting vehicle, Type 81 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, Type 81 tracked 120mm self-propelled mortar, Type 81 wheeled 120mm self-propelled mortar, Type 81 tracked 122mm rocket, Type 81 wheeled 122mm rocket, Type 81 tracked anti-tank missile launcher, Type 81 wheeled anti-tank missile launcher, Type 81 tracked 122mm self-propelled howitzer, Type 81 wheeled 122mm self-propelled howitzer, Type 82 tracked 120mm self-propelled mortar, Type 82 wheeled 120mm self-propelled mortar, 'Aegis' air defense missile, 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missile.
To date, the weapons and ammunition produced by Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation every month are already very impressive.
Liu Tao was in a good mood when he saw that there were no more red dots in the item upgrade system.
After years of hard work, the weapons and equipment produced by various military factories under the Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation were finally qualified.
The meaning here is very important.
It not only represents that the quality inspection system of Panshan Group itself is perfect and professional, but also has a strong power in quality inspection.
It also represents the improvement of the production quality of Panshan Group and its supporting factories, and the improvement of the skills of production workers.
It also represents the improvement of the level of the upstream and downstream industrial system formed with Panshan Group as the core.
Compared with 1979, it has risen by at least three or four steps.
"I will no longer need to spend time on these weapons and ammunition in the future!" Liu Tao was very happy and relieved.
In recent years, Liu Tao has made great efforts in quality control.
In order to make money, he often uses his own golden finger to repair the defects of unqualified weapons and ammunition, so as to make them qualified.
But this also takes up a lot of his time, leaving him no time for research.
Now, it is good. So far, it can be said that the weapons produced now are mature.
Not only mass production, but also qualified production, so he doesn't need to spend more time.
He only needs to conduct random inspections occasionally once a year, hanging a sword over the heads of the quality inspection department, so that the quality inspection department and the production department dare not take the production quality lightly, and that's it.
And with the extra time, he can do more things.
"In the future, these weapons and ammunition will no longer need to be sent to the group headquarters for my final quality inspection. Your quality inspection department can complete the final inspection!" Liu Tao said.
When the people in the quality inspection department heard Liu Tao's words, they were ecstatic.
As the department responsible for the production quality of the entire group, the quality inspection department has great power, but also great responsibility.
Once there is a problem with production quality, the blame will be placed on the quality inspection department first.
The department least liked by production workers and supporting factories is the quality inspection department.
In recent years, because of production quality problems, I don’t know how many fathers and sons, brothers, sisters, and couples have quarreled or even fought.
The quality inspection department is also the one that has been deducted the most bonuses and allowances!
Now, finally, the hard work has paid off. The weapons and equipment produced now finally do not need Liu Tao to conduct the last quality inspection.
This is the fruitful result of the quality inspection department’s efforts since 1979, and the rigorous attitude and meticulous style of countless quality inspectors.
Although the quality inspection department is directly under the group and is not under the jurisdiction of the subordinate group companies, the quality inspection department also has its own office at the Panshan Group headquarters, but except for a few staff members, most of the quality inspection department’s people are in various factories, strictly controlling the quality!
Liu Tao looked at the excitement of the quality inspection staff and smiled.
Liu Tao saw the efforts of the quality inspection department.
This year, the selection of outstanding individuals and advanced collectives can be tilted towards the quality inspection department.
To be honest, Liu Tao has put a lot of effort into the technical and professional aspects of the entire group.
Try to prevent laymen from leading professionals as much as possible.
For example, the person in charge of the quality inspection department is very good at production quality control and inspection.
There is also the chief engineer Zhu Yusheng who is responsible for technology, and he has no problem with technology.
Just like in the past few years, Zhu Yusheng and others have been working hard to improve the Type 59 main battle tank. It’s true that they have figured out the magic modification plan for the Type 59 main battle tank.
The modified Type 59 tank has reached the level of the second and a half generation, and its performance has been improved.
Although it is still far inferior to the Type 80 main battle tank, the modified Type 59 main battle tank can be sold at a higher price.
Now the First Machine Factory and the Second Machine Factory are modifying the Type 59 main battle tanks currently in service in the army to improve the performance of the Type 59 main battle tanks.
The modified Type 59 main battle tank is called the Type 59 modified main battle tank.
