Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Night fell, and the lights began to shine.

"Come on, eat," Nie Xiaoqian's grandfather raised his chopsticks, looking at the delicious food on the table, and said, "You are usually busy outside and rarely come home. The last time I saw you was at your workplace."

"Yes, Grandpa, our Factory 960 is growing stronger and stronger, and there are more and more things to deal with," Qin Yang said. "However, I've finished most of the busy work recently, so I can have a good rest for the next few days. Come, Grandpa, I'll toast you."

Nie Xiaoqian rolled her eyes at Qin Yang. What's with the drinking during a meal? Her grandfather is so old, how could he drink one cup after another with you?

"Grandpa, I'll finish mine, please feel free," Qin Yang quickly picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Old Man Nie smiled and raised his glass, "Speaking of which, I'm benefiting from you today. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't let me drink."

"Dad, don't drink too much, just this one cup," Nie Xiaoqian's mother quickly said.

"Yes, just this one cup. Yangzi, the reason I asked you to come home for dinner is partly because I know you've been tired lately and want you to rest, and partly because I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Qin Yang asked while continuing to pour himself wine. It had been a long time since he had eaten at home, so he wanted to have a few more drinks with the old man.

"The military parade is coming soon, would you like to go up and watch it?"

"Go up where?"

"Of course, to a place where you can overlook the entire military parade."

Qin Yang's hand trembled, and some wine spilled onto the table.

"Grandpa, I'm just the head of a military factory. Even if I'm involved in some research and development projects, I can't compare with those big leaders. I don't have the qualifications," Qin Yang said. "On that day, I'll just stand with Old Zhu and wait on the sidelines, so I can deal with any unexpected situations that may arise."

Qin Yang didn't plan to go up. He was in the military industry, doing technical work. He felt it was good enough to be below.

Old Zhu wasn't going up, so what qualifications did he have to go up?

"You are not ordinary. Half of the equipment in this military parade was developed by you, or your Factory 960 participated in the project. Whether it's flying in the sky, running on the ground, or even the naval projects you've been involved in, so, to reward you, the relevant departments have decided to give you this opportunity to go up and take a look," Old Man Nie said. "Moreover, the plan you proposed last time to reduce the size of the army has also been approved by the higher-level leaders and will be implemented after this military parade. You will be the main person in charge."

Qin Yang's expression froze instantly. So that's what was going on! A few years ago, Qin Yang had talked about this matter with his superiors. At that time, his superiors had intended to assign him to do this thankless job, but later, due to various reasons, it was not immediately implemented. After this military parade, it would be planned intensively, and Qin Yang would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

At that time, he didn't know how many people he would offend, and Qin Yang, this young man, would face a lot of resistance. Now, letting him stand above was to give him a certain identity and status, to support him.

Who goes up and who goes down? This is a difficult choice. After all, many are old units with a long history. If they are really gone, the glory of the unit will be forgotten, and every leader of the unit will not agree.

Giving it to Qin Yang, an outsider, can instead lead to radical reforms!

Old Man Nie nodded: "I'm also very interested in your report. Show it to me first after you've written it."

"Yes."

So, for the next few days, Qin Yang stayed at home and wrote manuscripts every day.

The number of troops is too bloated. This is a falsely bloated person. The country has allocated a large amount of funds, but there is no way to use it for the research and development of advanced weapons. It is all consumed in food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The large number but lack of leanness means it cannot win future high-tech wars!

Qin Yang's report first elaborates on what future wars will look like.

Without air supremacy, there is nothing. Without electromagnetic supremacy, there is no air supremacy! The air force's large number of J-6 fighters cannot win future wars. The J-6 fighter force must be reduced, a large number of airports must be dismantled, and advanced J-11 fighters must be used to replace them. One can replace the previous six fighters. This will save a lot of money for the modernization of the air force. The air force must have early warning aircraft units and electronic warfare units!

The army is the largest in scale. The existing military regions must be reduced and merged to reduce useless command systems. At the same time, a large number of troops must be reduced. Among the million people, the army accounts for the highest number of cuts, with 950,000 people coming from the army!

However, this does not mean that the army's combat effectiveness will be reduced. The army needs to be equipped with advanced weapons, from main battle tanks to wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. The army must develop from motorization to mechanization. At the same time, it must also form an army aviation force to give the army flying iron wings!

The army must cooperate with the air force to conduct coordinated operations. When the army needs support, it must be able to call the air force at any time. The army must also have advanced command systems and electronic warfare systems. In the past, we have always been at a disadvantage and were suppressed. In the future, we must take the path of strengthening the army through technology and arm ourselves with advanced equipment!

Navy… Qin Yang hesitated for a while, but decided to write about the development of the navy. The navy needs advanced equipment and must transform from offshore defense to a combination of offense and defense, especially to have the ability to navigate the oceans. With the economic development of our country, our maritime trade is becoming more and more important, and the navy must have the ability to protect economic development.

Therefore, the navy should not be reduced, but should be a military service that is being developed as a priority. However, considering the current economic situation, it can wait until later to develop, but various talent reserves cannot be relaxed. It can even be suggested that some pilots switch to studying warship command and open pilot captain classes.

Thousands of words, first write about the general policy, and then write about the specific targets of the cuts, with reasons and evidence, just like Qin Yang personally went to various troops to investigate.

When Old Man Nie took Qin Yang's report, he felt deeply gratified.

"Yangzi, with this report alone, you are qualified to go up and take a look. Follow me when the time comes, and I will take you up!"

Qin Yang nodded. He had done the thankless work, and now it was normal to get some honor.

"Grandpa, how's the weather lately?"

"Relevant departments are closely monitoring the weather conditions. Recently, all factories in the capital have been shut down to ensure that the capital has a clear sky on the day of the military parade. According to current observations, there should not be too much of a problem."
