Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

After getting out of the car, Burdistan was immediately drawn to the uniquely shaped tank.

While other tanks were grassland green, this one was desert yellow and surrounded by a group of people, some wearing factory work clothes, which meant it was prepared for them. But, was this tank really modified from a Type 69 tank?

You couldn't see any trace of the Type 69 tank at all! The turret, the gun barrel, and the side skirts were all so modern. For a moment, he even thought he was looking at a Western tank!

He took a deep breath and strode over.

Hashim stood there dumbfounded. This President Qin was too amazing! The tank he produced was one of a kind in the world! He hesitated for a few seconds before following Burdistan.

"Your Excellency Burdistan, you've finally arrived! Come, take a look at our Storm tank. How do you like the appearance? Is it imposing enough?"

"Storm tank?"

"That's right, we've named this tank the Storm tank. All export contracts we sign in the future will use this name."

In the late 1980s, China built a foreign trade tank and named it the Storm tank, starting the trend of using nicknames for export tanks. However, due to its mediocre performance, it failed to impress customers and was never successfully sold.

Now, Qin Yang renamed this modified Type 69 the Storm tank, and it was different. It would definitely stir up a desert storm!

"We promised to increase the frontal protection, but considering that the sides of the tank are also vulnerable, we helped improve the sides as well. It can also withstand RPG-7s, and the price remains the same."

This made Burdistan beam with joy: "Good, good! If you can demonstrate the protection you promised, we'll place an order immediately!"

In fact, Qin Yang originally planned to completely改造炮塔, but when he made the promise, he only guaranteed to increase the frontal protection. Now, it was comprehensive protection, more for the same price, which would make the customer even more grateful.

Looking at Burdistan's expression, Qin Yang knew that this guy was about to become his good friend. In this day and age, having more friends means more opportunities. Anyway, he wasn't investing much, just using a bit more steel plate.

"Would you like to see our firepower first, or our protection?" Qin Yang asked.

The modification projects included the turret's protection and the tank gun. Now it depended on which aspect the other party wanted to examine first, but it didn't seem to be much of a question.

"Protection. We want to see if it can really withstand an RPG-7 attack."

"Alright, then we'll demonstrate the protection first. One shot to the front, one to the side, two shots fired simultaneously! Old Jiang, it's up to you guys next! Aim and fire!"

Old Zhu originally wanted to walk back as well, but his body was inflexible and his movements were slow. Before he could turn around, he discovered that Qin Yang had stepped onto the tank using the pre-reserved holes on the side skirt!

"Hey, President Qin, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to stay inside. After taking two RPGs, I'll drive the tank around to demonstrate its performance."

Go inside?

Old Zhu felt cold sweat pouring down his back. You're really bold! Is this a joke? Even if you're confident in your tank, you can't risk your life like this!

He really was reckless!

In fact, this was nothing. To promote their Leclerc tank, the French called all the designers to the test site and stood them in tightly packed rows, front and back, like taking a photo. The tank rushed past them at off-road speed, braking sharply at the designated position and stopping steadily behind the two rows of designers, less than ten centimeters away!

In the video, everyone else stood still, except for one coward who turned to look back, probably the guy who designed the tank's brakes, who wasn't confident in them.

Now, Qin Yang wanted to show the foreigners the tank's powerful protection and demonstrate his confidence in the tank. So, he decided to act cool. He originally planned to sneak in while everyone was turning to disperse and then drive off after taking the RPGs, leaving a deep impression on the foreigners. Who knew that Old Zhu would catch him in the act?

"No, absolutely not. If there's an accident, our country will lose an outstanding military industry genius," Old Zhu firmly opposed.

"Qin, we know you're confident in the tank's protection, but you don't have to go to such lengths," Hashim said. "You should come down."

"It's okay, I have absolute confidence in the tank. We in the military industry have to have this kind of confidence," Qin Yang said. "Back in the war years, the guns produced in our military factories were often substandard and exploded. Later, the superiors issued an order that the master craftsmen who made the guns had to test-fire them themselves after they were finished, and the probability of explosions decreased significantly. Now, we're building tanks, so of course we have to have this awareness. We test the tanks we build ourselves!"

Old Zhu was a little helpless and didn't know how to persuade Qin Yang. At this moment, a voice came from the crowd: "Qin is right, but it's not enough for him to be alone in the tank. I'll go up too."

Hearing the voice, Qin Yang was immediately shocked. Looking over, it was indeed that familiar face. Their eyes met, and Nie Xiaoqian winked playfully.

"Xiaoqian, you can't go! How can you..." Director Dong was anxious.

Director Dong and Nie Xiaoqian arrived at the scene three minutes earlier. They had just arrived when they heard that Qin Yang was going to get into the tank to take RPGs, and no one could dissuade him. Everyone was very anxious, and Director Dong was also anxious, but he couldn't conveniently pull Nie Xiaoqian away and could only watch her stride forward.

"Okay, okay, I'll come down, alright?" Qin Yang said, "Everyone, disperse, disperse! Really, I heard that after a tank is hit, it's like a bell ringing inside. I originally wanted to experience it, but you guys are really holding me back."

Of course, Qin Yang couldn't let Nie Xiaoqian go up. He could act cool, but Nie Xiaoqian couldn't. The wife is the most important thing in the world. Besides, if her parents knew about this, wouldn't they come looking for trouble?

"You're not insisting anymore? Really, I thought I could find some excitement with you," Nie Xiaoqian said.

"I wouldn't dare. Alas, you are my destined..."

"Nemesis?"

"No, the other half of my life."

Nie Xiaoqian's face turned slightly red. There were so many people present. Was it appropriate to say that? However, everything has its counter, and she easily got Yang down, which meant that he really cared about her.

"Damn, is that really a Type 69 tank modified?" Someone exclaimed from the back of the crowd.

This was the real Storm tank.
