Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Wang Chongming was stunned.

He was also in the army! Although he was no longer commanding troops and was now a researcher at the military academy, his military rank hadn't changed. How could he be excluded from such an army conference? Wasn't this just bullying him?

However, with things said to this point, if he followed them now, who knew what more unpleasant things these people would say? So he stood there, rooted to the spot, watching Qin Yang being surrounded by a large group of high-ranking military officers as they headed towards the army conference room.

His hand clenched into a fist, his knuckles cracking.

"Old Wang, Director Qin is very capable and has made significant contributions to the army. Our army can't do without him. Let bygones be bygones, and don't hold a grudge against him," Jiang Zhenguo couldn't help but advise, seeing Wang Chongming's reaction.

However, his words clearly had no positive effect. Hearing him say that, Wang Chongming felt his anger had a place to vent: "Old Jiang, what do you mean by that?"

"The army has things to do, I'm going to be busy," Jiang Zhenguo said, turning to leave.

Inside the conference room, after listening to Qin Yang's introduction, everyone's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

"Your 960 Factory wants to develop airborne radar and air-to-air missiles for the air force's fighter jets?"

"You're planning to transplant the equipment developed for the air force and turn it into a ground-to-air missile system for our army?"

"The Americans turned the Sparrow missile into a ship-to-air missile. Our modification plan shouldn't be a problem either, but Director Qin, this is, after all, a task for the aerospace industry system. Does your 960 Factory… need our help?"

He stopped himself before finishing the sentence, he couldn't question whether Qin Yang had the ability, he had to ask if Qin Yang needed help.

"I really do need the help of you leaders," Qin Yang said without hesitation.

"Director Qin, please speak."

"What we are currently confident in is the electronic system. As for the missile's warhead and other systems, if we can't make them, we hope to use the Hongqi 61's warhead."

The only seemingly modern missile in the country that had been successfully developed was the Hongqi 61, but it came out too late. The Air Force modified the Pili-11 missile based on the Hongqi 61, but it was also a late effort: by the time it was fully developed, the country had already imported the R-27 air-to-air missile, solving the urgent need for medium-range air-to-air missiles. Internationally, the era of active radar-guided air-to-air missiles had arrived, so the Pili-11 was never put into production, and the Air Force continued to develop the Pili-12, which was eventually completed.

Now, Qin Yang didn't know how much he could get from Italy. It would be best if he could get the complete Aspide missile technology. If not, then he would have to improve on the Hongqi 61, just like the Pili-11.

"That's no problem. Which of our domestic military enterprises doesn't want to hitch a ride on your 960 Factory's coattails? There's profit to be made following you."

"I heard that their Hongqi 61 missile has encountered many problems. Director Qin, if you have time, you could give them some guidance."

"Me? I'm an outsider, I really don't understand," Qin Yang shook his head: "Leaders, please don't flatter me."

"Director Qin, if your 960 Factory continues to develop like this, you'll be developing projects for the army, navy, and air force."

"Please rest assured, leaders, our 960 Factory will prioritize serving the army."

"Hmph, Qin Yang, you're so full of yourself! You think you're the most capable person in the country!"

Wang Chongming wandered around outside, getting angrier the more he wandered. Jiang Zhenguo's words were like adding fuel to the fire, so he came after all. The sentries outside didn't dare to stop him. He walked to the door, calmed down a bit, and listened outside for a while. Now, he finally couldn't help it.

This Qin Yang didn't have a bit of humility! His bragging was actually being praised by these people. What a joke, a complete joke!

Seeing Wang Chongming appear at the door, everyone's expressions were not good. Weren't you told not to come?

However, Wang Chongming was, after all, still a member of the army, and they couldn't say anything too harsh.

However, they didn't need to step in. Qin Yang had never lost a war of words.

"That's right, I am the most capable person in the country."

"Really? Then you're omnipotent?"

"You could say that."

"Okay, then I'll test you…"

"You're not qualified," Qin Yang rolled his eyes at him: "If you want to ask me for advice, I might be able to give you some pointers."

A group of military leaders were suppressing their laughter. Who didn't know that Qin Yang was this kind of person: he respected others if they respected him, and he would leave others speechless if they nitpicked at him. Now, this Wang Chongming was taking the initiative to be abused!

"Okay, I'll ask for advice then," Wang Chongming's eyes darted around: "Tell me, what major international events do you think will happen recently?"

He couldn't ask about military industry matters. This Qin Yang was very strange, and he might really be able to answer. So he had to change the topic.

Qin Yang couldn't possibly be a polymath. It would be good if he was familiar with one area, it was impossible for him to be all-encompassing. If he asked him about major international events, he would be even less likely to answer! Ordinary small matters didn't count, it had to be a major event!

Everyone became excited. As soldiers, who didn't want to fight? No, no, who didn't want to defend their country? Now, Qin Yang was talking about war, what was going on?

Could there be a war to fight?

No, Wang Chongming's question was international, so it was a war in another country.

Was it the Middle East? Everyone was looking forward to it. Wang Chongming rolled his eyes at Qin Yang: "Are you trying to say that the Fifth Middle East War will break out? That place is already a powder keg, that doesn't count!"

"The Fifth Middle East War will break out, but it will be in June. By the way, what's the date today?"

"Today? April 1st."

"Oh, then it's April 2nd, a war will break out in the South Atlantic," Qin Yang said: "Let's wait and see."

Tomorrow, the South Atlantic? Wang Chongming was amused: "Director Qin, you're acting like a fortune teller."

"You can call me a charlatan too," Qin Yang said: "Do you believe it? If you don't, we can bet something."

"Okay," Wang Chongming didn't believe it. Qin Yang could predict events in the South Atlantic, and limit it to tomorrow? This was clearly nonsense!

"No need, we're all soldiers, we can't gamble," Leader Huang stopped this farce. It wouldn't be good no matter who lost. With Qin Yang's personality, he would definitely say a bet like running around the capital a few times with his pants off if he lost.

"Director Qin, how did you deduce this?"

"This is a secret, but since everyone is interested, I can talk about it. You should know that our 960 Factory plans to organize a football team to play a game with Argentina…" When Qin Yang said this, his expression suddenly changed.

Not good, it's terrible!

He had been so busy developing anti-aircraft guns for the army these days that he had forgotten about the football game! He had originally planned to use the game to contact high-ranking Argentine officials, so he could sell Flying Fish missiles! Now he had missed it! Once the war started, how could he go to Argentina?

Alas, even the wise can make mistakes!

"Director Qin, what's wrong? Did you suddenly realize that your prediction might not be accurate?" Seeing Qin Yang like this, Wang Chongming immediately became interested.

"Old Wang, because of your meddling, our Fangbei Company may lose a big deal worth tens of millions of dollars! Let me tell you, if we can't make the deal, you'll pay for it!"

"Director Qin, don't make false accusations!"

"If you deny it, we'll go to the old leader to file a lawsuit!"

Hongqi 61, it seems like a picture was uploaded before, let's upload another one.
