Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"This weather is really too cold!" Stepping off the train and feeling the biting north wind, Qin Yang couldn't help but sigh as he exhaled white vapor.

Although it wasn't as frigid as Qi City, it was still freezing. In this kind of weather, it would be wonderful to go down south.

"President Qin, thank you so much for solving the problem for our Factory 618!" Cui Yucheng said excitedly on the platform. "Now, it's being said all over our system that there's no problem that President Qin can't solve. No matter what the big issue is, whether it's technical, work-related, or life-related, you can easily solve it."

"Don't praise me so much," Qin Yang shook his head. "What we brought back is just a blank; you still have to process it yourselves."

"No problem, our factory has plenty of experienced master craftsmen. Once we have the blank, processing it will be a cinch," Cui Yucheng said. "President Qin, would you like to come to our factory for a bit and have a few drinks to warm up?"

"No need," Qin Yang shook his head. "Now that the matter is settled, I have to go back. There are still many things to do at the factory. You guys unload the stuff from the train and get to work quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chao's figure appeared in the distance.

"Yangzi… President Qin, I've come to pick you up!" Zhang Chao's face was full of smiles. "Everyone was busy studying knowledge, and I came over as soon as class was over, but I didn't expect to be late."

"Not late," Qin Yang said goodbye to the people from Factory 618 and got into the 212 that Zhang Chao drove over. "How's your studying going? Tell me a few sentences."

"Okay, Hello, My name is…" Fluent English came out of Zhang Chao's mouth, a whole string of gibberish. "How was it?"

"Yeah, not bad."

"It's all thanks to Teacher Xiao Nie's good teaching. This teacher is really amazing. She's from the Beijing Foreign Studies University and is the youngest of the New Three Classes. It's said that she took the college entrance examination in '77 at the age of fifteen and passed it in one go…"

"Fifteen years old? '77? Doesn't that mean she's only eighteen this year? And she hasn't graduated from university yet?"

"That's right. She's a senior this year. If she graduated, she would have been snatched away long ago. How could it be our turn? Now that the country's door is open, the country's most in need of foreign language talents…"

Qin Yang smiled. "I didn't expect her to be the same age as us."

"That's right, and she's also very beautiful. Yangzi, I feel that someone like Teacher Nie is worthy of you…"

"Don't say such nonsense. We're only eighteen years old. We have to respond to the country's call for late marriage and late childbirth, fewer and better births. Now we have to put our energy into work. We'll talk about finding a woman later."

Zhang Chao turned his head to look at Qin Yang in surprise.

Is this what my buddy would say? Back when everyone was listening to gossip together, they were all very excited, often discussing how to get a woman into bed in the future. Now, he's actually detached from worldly desires?

"Don't look at me, watch the road," Qin Yang reminded.

The car fell into a brief silence.

"Did you negotiate with Factory 296?"

"Yeah, we negotiated. Yangzi, you're really amazing. We just transferred the order and made several million!" Zhang Chao said, spitting everywhere. "However, the factory leaders are a little worried. When Factory Director Zhu signed, he hesitated again and again before finally signing his name."

Qin Yang knew that the older generation was timid and afraid of trouble. They didn't even look at how the higher-ups were encouraging them. The steps should be bigger, even bigger. Whoever refuses to run forward will be left behind!

"Anything else?"

"Those hundred machine guns are about to be loaded onto the train and transported away."

About to be transported away?

Qin Yang's eyes lit up. "Okay, after we go back, prepare, and I'll also go south as our factory's after-sales service personnel to take a look."

"Yangzi, I don't think you can go, right? Will the higher-ups agree? You still have so much work to do!"

"I have a way…"

A few days later.

The convoy of Dongfeng 240 off-road vehicles roared forward, the exhaust pipes emitting plumes of black smoke, the wheels sometimes falling into a bomb crater and sometimes rising again, the vehicle body swaying left and right.

The cargo boxes were high-sided. Perhaps absorbing some experience, they were changed from wood to iron. At this time, there were two more people in the cargo box of one of the vehicles, wearing military factory work clothes, their bodies bouncing with the vehicle.

Qin Yang lay helplessly on the wooden box, looking up at the sky, muttering, "Wang Fang, why do you, a girl, have to come with me? Don't you know how dangerous it is?"

"Hmph, this is what you promised me. In exchange, I helped you make a batch of clothes, stepping on the sewing machine for days! Besides, I'm not going to the front line. I'm just in the rear troop camp, helping the soldiers repair guns, check ammunition, and wash clothes or something."

Wang Fang was very excited.

She had admired soldiers since she was a child. Since Lin Heping left last time, she could never forget this man. Now, being able to go to the front line to see the most beloved people of the era, she was full of excitement.

"The rear, do you think the rear is safe? The monkeys are old hands at guerrilla warfare!" Qin Yang sat up abruptly and said to Wang Fang, "Look, there might be an ambush on that hillside over there!"

As Qin Yang spoke, he pointed to the hillside, just in time to see something reflecting sunlight. At that moment, every hair on his body stood on end, and he immediately leaned back down.

Whew!

A bullet whizzed past, and Qin Yang's hat flew off. He felt a burning pain on his scalp.

"Attention, there are monkeys nearby!" the driver in front shouted loudly, stepping hard on the accelerator, trying to leave this place of trouble. In the passenger seat, the soldier in charge of escorting the vehicle raised his Type 56 carbine, aimed in the direction of the attackers, and quickly pulled the trigger.

The front-line troops had already replaced a large number of their weapons with the Type 56 assault rifle, but these second-line escort troops still used the Type 56 carbine. On the bumpy car, they didn't expect to hit the target, as long as they could suppress the enemy. This should be an unexpected encounter; hopefully, the other side had not planted landmines on the road in advance.

This place was supposed to be very safe. Who would have thought that the monkeys would have sneaked up!

The sound of gunfire rang out, and the peaceful atmosphere just now was instantly shattered.

Qin Yang leaned back into the carriage, quickly fumbling to open the wooden box while nervously looking at Wang Fang.

Wang Fang didn't scream or panic; she just calmly lay down in the carriage, appearing quite calm.

A ball of flame burst from the muzzle, and the soldier in the passenger seat was immediately surprised. "This flame, is it a heavy machine gun bullet? How is that possible?"

This small machine gun should be the size of a light machine gun. How could it fire heavy machine gun bullets? This was unbelievable!

Although they were responsible for transporting goods back and forth, most of the time, they only counted the number of boxes and didn't open them to see what was inside.

On the hillside in the distance, several monkeys were running. There were not many of them; a small team was easier to infiltrate. They were just planning to harass logistics transport.

Now that they had failed, and the distance between the two sides had exceeded five hundred meters, they were already safe.

Whew!

A bullet landed outside the forest in front of the monkeys. The monkeys looked in surprise at the change in the bullet's impact point, which started dozens of meters away from them and then gradually approached, shattering everything along the way.

They were all a little scared. What kind of gun was that behind them, shooting so far and so fiercely?

Just as one of the monkeys was about to turn his head to look back,

Bang!

A bullet entered his back and exited his chest, a small hole going in and a large hole coming out, scattering other red things, falling on the ground in front, forming a beautiful red plum blossom.

Bang, bang, bang!

The bullets continued to hit the monkeys' bodies, the second, the third… This team of monkeys who ambushed them all fell down. One of them had his head blown off, the sound even louder, just like smashing a watermelon with his bare hands.

The ammunition belt was just finished, and Qin Yang calmly cleaned up the machine gun, a pair of surprised eyes looking over.

"This is a heavy machine gun?"

"That's right, this is the latest Type 80 light heavy machine gun developed by our Factory 960, a weapon for mountainous areas," Qin Yang said.

The Dongfeng 240 of that year
