Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Zhang Baozhong was incredibly surprised. It actually worked? He absolutely hadn't expected Qin Yang's crazy idea to succeed! When he first heard the plan, Zhang Baozhong found it unbelievable, simply a fantasy. Now, he was full of admiration for Qin Yang.

Christopher left the tank base in utter frustration. He didn't know how to report this to the company, but if they didn't want the French to succeed, they had no other choice but to send another tank engine.

The sun set, and the scene was almost cleaned up. Qin Yang clapped his hands, mission accomplished, time to go back!

However, in the dim twilight, a Hongqi sedan drove up, passed through the checkpoint, and stopped beside the blasted crater.

Qin Yang, who was about to head home, looked up at the car. First to get out was Old Zhu, followed by a Secretary Song with a face full of dark lines!

Qin Yang didn't expect that even Secretary Song would be alarmed. He thought at most Leader Fang would come to take a look. Secretary Song's arrival meant the old leader knew too?

"Qin Yang, you little rascal, you've corrupted Old Zhu! Such a big matter, and you didn't report it to the higher-ups. If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?" Secretary Song immediately reprimanded Qin Yang upon seeing him.

"Secretary Song, if the higher-ups want to punish someone, just punish me," Old Zhu said. "The idea was Qin Zong's, but I approved it. I also contacted the leaders of the military unit. And, I also concealed it in advance."

"Alas, isn't it because our country is poor? The R\u0026D funding for the third-generation tank is low. If the funding were sufficient, we could directly purchase hundreds of Perkins engines and have the opportunity to disassemble and study them. Would there be a need for such a hassle?" Qin Yang didn't care. He knew Secretary Song was just saying it casually. If he were really angry, he wouldn't have come; he would have directly sent someone to arrest Qin Yang.

Qin Yang was a great hero, saving the country money, and now he was being blamed. He expressed his dissatisfaction.

"President Qin, what are you saying? Let's quickly admit our mistake to the leader," Old Zhu said in shock upon hearing Qin Yang's words.

Secretary Song waved his hand: "Forget it, even if this kid admits his mistake verbally, he won't acknowledge it in his heart. Tell me, how exactly did you guys pull this off?"

Although he had heard Old Zhu's brief introduction in the car, without an on-site inspection, he still didn't have a clear understanding.

"The premise of this substitution trick is that we have a 1223 tank of the same model," Qin Yang said. "Although the upper half of the tank is different from the 1224, the bottom is the same. Both have six pairs of road wheels. After removing the turret and engine, they are almost identical. Outsiders will definitely not be able to tell."

"Even if you have two identical chassis, you don't have the same model of engine. Using our own engine as a substitute, can it be the same?"

"Of course not. Our own engines are also very expensive. If they explode, that's a waste. Waste is a crime," Qin Yang said. "Also, this mountain road for climbing is so steep. Our own tank engine definitely can't run that fast, and it's easy to be seen through."

"That's right, how did you solve it?"

"We set up a winch on the top of the mountain and used a steel cable to drag the chassis, ensuring they wouldn't see it. I'll take you to see it and you'll understand."

"No engine? Then there wasn't even any smoke. How could people not see that?"

"Of course, we used a smoke generator," Qin Yang said. "After our adjustments, the smoke emitted by the exercise smoke generator is the same as when a diesel engine is climbing a slope. From a distance, it's definitely not clear."

Smoke generators have been around for a long time. They were used during World War II to carry out air defense in important areas, preventing aerial engines from seeing the ground situation and thus preventing bombing. When the troops conduct exercises, in order to simulate actual combat, they also use this thing, but installing it on a tank chassis to impersonate the black smoke generated by an engine is definitely a first.

"Good, probably only you kid in the whole world could come up with such a lousy idea!" Secretary Song said.

"Thank you, Secretary Song, for the compliment." Qin Yang actually took this as a compliment, leaving Secretary Song speechless.

The whole process is actually very simple. When climbing the slope, you pass a mound. The people watching here can't see that there is an identical chassis hidden behind the mound. This imposter continues to climb the hillside under the action of the tow rope. At the same time, it uses a smoke generator to create black smoke. The driver adjusts the route by braking the left and right tracks during the towing process, allowing the tank to reach the predetermined position. As long as it slides, it will hit the position where the red flag is located.

The flames were also prepared in advance. When it reaches the determined position, it will catch fire. The driver hurriedly gets down to put out the fire. With the tow rope pulling, it's okay even if you don't brake. Then the tow rope is released, and the tank reverses down in front of everyone's eyes. When it reaches the position of the red flag, with a bang, the mission is accomplished!

From Christopher's perspective, he watched the tank climb the slope, then catch fire, and then reverse down. He didn't doubt that the chassis had been tampered with at all. Besides the Perkins engine, what engine could bring the chassis up the slope with such powerful power?

As for the explosion, of course, the explosives were prepared in advance in the engine compartment. Otherwise, how could the chassis be blown to pieces, especially the engine compartment being completely in fragments? But after all, there are errors. The chassis cannot accurately press on the position of the red flag, so in the end, Qin Yang personally knocked Christopher down and covered his head with a helmet to prevent him from seeing the problem.

The responsibility lies with the British. Christopher locked the engine compartment, didn't let the engine cool down before going uphill, there was a problem with the design of the engine compartment, the turbocharger overheated and burned something, the hydraulic torque converter had no locking function, etc. In short, everything pointed to Christopher, it was his mistake!

The plan was meticulous, the preparations were sufficient, the action was bold, and the ending was perfect. The only problem was that such a big thing was not reported to the higher-ups? It's good that it succeeded, but if it failed, the consequences would be disastrous!

The explosion here cannot be concealed. After all, this is the western gateway of the capital! The matter alarmed Secretary Song, who personally investigated and called Old Zhu to come to the scene to take a look.

Now, Secretary Song has listened to the whole process and doesn't know what to say.

"Actually, this ending is not bad. If there are no accidents, I guess the Americans have already begun to put pressure on the British to make them give up exporting advanced diesel engines to us. Our diesel engine exploded, which saves them the trouble," Qin Yang said.

"Okay, if this is really the ending, I won't pursue it, otherwise..." Secretary Song gritted his teeth, not knowing how to deal with this audacious guy, who had corrupted the honest and simple Old Zhu!

"Report, the British side has formally notified us to withdraw from cooperation in the field of tractor power!" At this moment, a person ran over to report nervously.

I forgot to upload the picture earlier, the supercharger can really burn red.
