According to Taiwan's "China Times" on January 22, two cases of fraudulent procurement of armor vehicles in the taiwan military and military centers have exploded in two consecutive years, first the gearbox is fake, and then the tracks. Although the products are different, the methods are the same, all arms dealers bribe low-ranking non-commissioned officers, and then use the "tanuki cat for prince" method to transfer the package, use old products to renovate or defective products as new parts, and sell them to the military in disguise.
In the case of transmission malpractice that broke out at the end of the previous year, for example, the arms dealer decided to renovate and sell it to the military as a new product in order to clear the inventory of old products. A number of arms dealers went so far as to collude in bidding and then poured the old inventory goods to the military together, and the acceptance was not outdated, that is, they bribed the non-commissioned officers in charge of the inspection, and only spent a total of 200,000 yuan (NT$, the same below), and sold all the expired products worth more than 20 million yuan to the entire center of the Taiwan military and soldiers.
It is this malpractice case that has aroused the attention of the head of Taiwan's defense department, and the Taiwan military intuitively believes that even such an important spare part as a gearbox is easy to counterfeit, because the car cannot move, dare to play tricks, and what else dare not get it? Moreover, the ghosting of low-ranking non-commissioned officers is also different from the previous pattern of malpractices among high-ranking officers, so they ordered the Taiwan military to investigate the project.
Just two or three months after the transmission case broke out, the Taiwan military found out that there were still unclean things in the purchase of the entire military center, and because the military law had been transferred to the judiciary, the suspicious points of the administrative investigation were transferred to the procuratorial and investigation units for investigation.
Since the investigation is still under investigation, the military does not yet know the facts of the case, but only knows that it is similar to the transmission case of the previous year, that is, the arms dealer bought off low-ranking non-commissioned officers and sold the tracks of poor quality or unverified to the military integrity center.
The business of spare parts and accessories for the tracks of the armored vehicles is a big piece of fat meat, and the interests are very high, and there have been malpractice cases in the whole center of the Taiwan military and soldiers before, but the arms dealers are different. Because of the staggering profits, the arms dealers are still the successors of the former servants, despite being a head-killing business.
In fact, the taiwan military and soldiers' whole center responsible for the production and maintenance of armored vehicles has almost no interruption in procurement, except for the tracks and transmission fraud cases, including smoke screen bullet bushes, injectors, infrared window mirrors, engines, artillery positioning orientation system tuning equipment, M-48H "Yonghu" chariot laser launcher, etc. The key fire control and power system spare parts of these armored vehicles have all had drawbacks.
10 years ago, the arms dealer also asked a retired Taiwan military lieutenant general to be a door god, this lieutenant general surnamed Xie served in the logistics maintenance position of the Taiwan army for many years, and after retiring, he served as an adviser to the arms dealer, specializing in the business of the military reorganization center. In the last two malpractice cases of the Military Consolidation Center, we did not see the Taiwan military generals involved in the case, but on the contrary, the little devils were in charge, which meant that they had rotted to the roots.
