In this case, it's better to let me do it myself first.

Anyway, I brought the information on the VHS2 assault rifle. If I want to develop this rifle at my own expense, it shouldn't be a big problem.

At present, our military is indeed severely lacking in scientific research funds. Therefore, due to lack of money, it is currently focusing on high-precision projects such as artillery and missiles. For light weapons such as rifles, it is enough that they can be used.

Otherwise, it would not have been delayed until the 1990s, which was approaching 1997, before the small-caliber rifle 95 assault rifle was released.

It is conceivable that even if the country obtains all the technical data of the VHS2 assault rifle, it would be difficult to produce a physical product because of the lack of money.

You know, in fact, our country has already begun to demonstrate and develop bullpup rifles and small-caliber rifles, and has long wanted to replace them with small-caliber rifles. However, the specific implementation is restricted by many factors, one of which is funding issues.

However, we are not lacking in related designs. In other words, there are actually many design drawings of various firearms, as well as many actual objects.

But due to the lack of funds and senior technicians, and of course some technical problems, the quality of those rifles is hard to say.

Especially in 1983, the country was still very poor and had little ability to conduct research and development of light weapons and carry out large-scale replacement.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang proposed that he hopes to produce the VHS2 assault rifle at his own expense in the form of a contract. The advantage of this is that it can save money.

Then once the guns pass the acceptance inspection, you can first try to export them to earn foreign exchange, or first give them to the armed police force for use.

Uncle Lin felt that this matter was not a big problem, and it was Cao Zhiqiang who proposed it, so he considered it over and over again, submitted the proposal, and it was quickly passed.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang now has the approval document, and he can cooperate with the 208 Research Institute to trial-produce the VHS2 assault rifle that Cao Zhiqiang obtained.

In terms of caliber, six types are tentatively selected. After they are produced, they will be subject to unified assessment and acceptance.

The real significance of this incident does not lie in the gun itself, but in that this is the first time that private capital is allowed to participate in the research and development and production of weapons, instead of relying solely on national finance.

In addition, Uncle Lin also assured Cao Zhiqiang that if this model of private capital participating in weapons research and development is effective, he will agree to establish a new arsenal and allow Cao Zhiqiang's private capital to enter and establish a joint-stock small arms arsenal to specialize in the production of small arms.

New guns and new ammunition.

Of course, because of the special nature of the arsenal, it is a confidential unit. In other words, Cao Zhiqiang can invest in and operate the arsenal in a private name, but it must be done in secret and cannot be made public.

No matter what, this is a good opportunity. The opportunity will never come again when it is too late. Cao Zhiqiang will never give up this opportunity.
