Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Zhang Lijun frowned instantly. "What did you say? Sell special warheads to these big beards?"

"Do you know international norms? Mushroom bombs are something you can't sell no matter how much money you get! This is the awareness and cultivation of a great power. We have to consider the balance of power in the whole world!"

"The higher-ups said to fully cooperate with Engineer Qin, but Engineer Qin can't just talk nonsense!"

However, when they heard Qin Yang's words, the big beards' eyes lit up. Special warheads meant further negotiations? That meant they had to add money! They weren't afraid of adding money, as long as they could buy them!

"Qin, my friend, what special large-scale weapons do you have?"

"Of course, it's the kind that can produce dazzling fireballs, accompanied by a lot of black smoke, and even the black smoke can condense into a mushroom shape."

"Qin, if you have that kind of warhead, we are willing to add money! Tens of millions, even hundreds of millions per piece!" Lideha said.

"No need for that much. Ten million per piece will do."

Zhang Lijun looked at Leader Dong, who was standing next to Qin Yang, and shook his head repeatedly.

"Engineer Qin, there are some weapons that we cannot sell," Leader Dong finally said.

"Yes, I know. Don't worry, we will definitely not sell weapons that shouldn't be sold," Qin Yang said. "Isn't this transaction my responsibility? Now, in front of our foreign friends, you should listen to me."

Leader Dong's lips moved a few times, but in the end, he didn't say anything. Anyway, the agreement would still be reviewed by higher-level leaders before it was signed. What Qin Yang said might not be effective, so he would just let the foreigners be happy for now.

"Brother Zhang, take our guests to see the launch vehicle next! We export the entire set of equipment together, so we have to experience all the auxiliary vehicles now."

Brother Zhang? Who's your brother? I don't have such a bold younger brother like you! Zhang Lijun was a little unwilling in his heart, but he couldn't easily refute Qin Yang's face in front of the foreigners, so he could only nod his head: "Okay, I'll take you to see it. We need more than a dozen related vehicles to launch a missile."

China currently only has liquid missiles, which require fuel to be added before launch, so there are special fuel trucks. Before the missile is launched, various data need to be calculated, so there is a launch control vehicle, a maintenance support vehicle for emergency repairs, and some other auxiliary vehicles.

Zhang Lijun introduced them one by one, and Lideha's face became a little unsightly.

These vehicles are too old, aren't they? Can they adapt to the climate in the desert?

As if aware of everyone's concerns, Qin Yang introduced: "Everyone just heard that our base here has been operating for more than ten years, so these are all old vehicles. When we supply goods to you, we will replace them with the latest and most advanced Steyr heavy trucks, which are of first-class European standards, and they will be specially modified for desert areas, so there will definitely be no problems."

"You have Steyr heavy trucks?"

"Yes, we are currently in talks with Steyr about introducing the project, and it is estimated that it will be finalized soon," Qin Yang gave a definite answer.

"This base is so big! I didn't expect you to hollow out the entire mountain!" Al-Walid exclaimed.

"Of course. Did you see the slogan hanging on the wall?" Qin Yang pointed over: "Prepare for war, prepare for famine, serve the people. Do you know what that means?"

The big beards shook their heads.

"Although the world is at peace, forgetting war is dangerous! No matter what time it is, we must be prepared," Qin Yang continued eloquently. "Oh, what are you worried about? Are your territories all desert areas? No caves? When you get to your place, of course you won't need caves. Deserts have desert base construction methods. We'll discuss it then."

Leader Dong was very emotional. This Qin Yang was so young, but he could accurately know what the other party was thinking. This kind of ability to perceive people's hearts was too strong!

However, it was still inappropriate for him to agree to sell the client large-scale weapons! How would he report to the higher-level leaders when he returned today?

This day's itinerary finally came to an end. Back at the 960 factory's guest house, the big beards were very tired and excited. After chatting for a while, they went to rest.

Leader Dong finally had the opportunity to talk to Qin Yang alone.

"Engineer Qin, how could you arbitrarily agree to the client today? It's impossible for us to sell mushroom bombs to the client! If we sell them, do you know how much impact it will have once the news leaks?" Leader Dong said angrily. "The whole world will unite to condemn us!"

"Mushroom bombs? When did I say I was selling mushroom bombs?"

"You! Didn't you tell the big beards at the base today that you were going to sell them a large-scale weapon that could produce dazzling fireballs, a lot of thick smoke, and even the thick smoke could condense into a mushroom cloud? If it's not a mushroom bomb, what is it?"

"That's right, thermobaric bombs aren't popular yet. A few years ago, when the monkeys were fighting the Americans, the Americans often used a kind of fuel-air explosive called BLU-82, which could turn an area of more than 500 meters into scorched earth when it exploded. Have you heard of this?"

Leader Dong nodded this time: "Of course I've heard of it. Are you saying that thermobaric bombs are also this kind of weapon?"

"That's right, similar to this, but more advanced than it. When used, the temperature at the center of the explosion can be two or three thousand degrees, and it can also consume all the oxygen around it. Small-mass thermobaric bombs are most effective against enemies in enclosed spaces, and large-mass weapons can also be used directly in exposed spaces. Taking the gas guns we sell to customers as an example, if a 1.5-ton warhead is replaced with a thermobaric bomb, it can destroy a military base with just one."

In fact, last year, the old Maozi developed the PRO-ASHMEL "Shmika rocket", which is already a true thermobaric bomb, specially used to deal with guerrillas in caves in Afghanistan.

That's just child's play. Large thermobaric bombs have absolutely devastating effects. After the explosion, black smoke rises into a mushroom shape, and the scene is extremely spectacular. Thermobaric bombs are called sub-nuclear weapons for a reason.

High-yield thermobaric bombs have not yet begun to be developed globally, so it's no wonder that people in China don't understand. However, they will soon understand.

"You're saying that we don't have these in China."

"We don't have them in China now, but that doesn't mean we won't have them in the future. This is just the client's first visit, just to test the waters. They will have to come back and forth many times before the transaction can be completed. We'll develop them during this time."

"Develop them? You?"

"Yes, it's us. So, if the client wants to order this special warhead and add money, we demand to get half of the funds," Qin Yang said.

After working so hard for so long, of course, he had to get some benefits!

Leader Dong was still frowning: "Engineer Qin, aren't you deceiving the client like this?"
