Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

The next day.

When Ding Kui entered the meeting room, he felt that the atmosphere inside was a bit strange. Everyone was whispering and exchanging glances.

Ding Kui saw a few acquaintances in the room and wanted to greet them, but just then, a voice came from the podium: "Now that everyone is here, let us welcome Dr. Bull with warm applause!"

Ding Kui quickly sat down, looking expectantly towards the side door of the podium. A stout foreigner walked up, and the room erupted in applause.

"Thank you for your welcome. For me, this trip to the East is of special significance. For the first time, I have seen how powerful the East's military industry is."

After Dr. Bull finished speaking, Nie Xiaoqian translated his words from the side, which was also an important task for their Fangbei Company.

What does this mean? Could it be that Dr. Bull also knows the Eastern ways, starting with some flattery?

Westerners don't seem to be like this, do they? When did they learn the Eastern ways?

"I originally wanted to come to the East to promote the CG-45 howitzer, but after last night's discussions, I changed my mind. I hope to work with the East to develop and push the technology of the 155mm howitzer to a new height!"

Ding Kui was stunned. What's going on?

It was originally agreed that the higher-ups would invite Dr. Bull to introduce his 155mm howitzer technology. If it was suitable, they would import the production line. The higher-ups had already decided to place the production at Factory 127. For them, this was a great opportunity.

They originally hoped to use this opportunity to develop rapidly. After all, Factory 127 was counting on this project to turn things around.

The Fang leader, with a smile on his face, said on the podium: "We are also very happy to be able to cooperate with Dr. Bull in developing a more advanced howitzer. For us, this is a new beginning!"

Ding Kui's face darkened. If they were importing the complete technology, there would be no problem with the production being located in their factory. However, if it was joint development, then there would be nothing for them!

Because their factory didn't have the ability to do that. R\u0026D was the business of the design institute, and Factory 127 was only responsible for production.

What exactly is going on?

"The main problem our research and development needs to solve is the improvement of the 155mm howitzer's projectile accuracy," the Fang leader said. "The specific project will be handled by Factory 960. Dr. Bull will be staying at Factory 960 for a long time to come. I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Ding Kui's mind was a mess. What exactly is going on?

Judging by this situation, the meeting is about to end?

They came all the way from Qiqihar, only to be dismissed like this?

Ding Kui couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to stand up on the spot. At this moment, Dr. Bull continued to speak.

"Since we are cooperating, we might as well deepen the content of our cooperation. I have learned that the largest caliber howitzer in the East is only 152mm. The firepower of this type of howitzer is far behind the world's advanced level. For example, the Soviet army's 2S7 howitzer, which has a caliber of 203mm, has twice the power of a 152mm howitzer per shell, and a range of 45 kilometers. The American army also has a similar M110 howitzer, which is extremely powerful. Therefore, in order to improve the firepower of your artillery, you should develop howitzers of equal caliber as soon as possible."

At this time, Qin Yang, who was sitting on the stage, still maintained a smiling face, but he was complaining in his heart. He knew that this guy was not easy to deal with. As expected, he was causing trouble now!

Last night, Qin Yang successfully tricked Dr. Bull. His date-shaped projectile had a long range but poor accuracy, which was an undeniable fact. If he wanted to change that, he would need more advanced technology.

Want technology? Then exchange it for CNC machine tools!

Although Factory 960 already had several CNC machine tools, the quantity was far from enough. If they were to produce date-shaped projectiles next, they would need even more advanced machine tools. Therefore, the technology-for-machine-tool agreement was reached.

However, if he came to buy technology, Dr. Bull wouldn't be able to save face. He was clearly here to promote in the East! Therefore, today he changed the statement to joint research and development. This meeting, which was originally supposed to be dominated by Dr. Bull to showcase the 155mm howitzer, became a simple notification meeting, telling everyone that they were going to jointly develop it.

However, Dr. Bull still wanted to make money, so he wanted to trick the East into developing a 203mm caliber howitzer!

During the chat yesterday, Qin Yang emphasized how much the East valued the power of artillery. Well, this Dr. Bull accurately grasped the weakness!

"I believe that with our joint research and development, the performance of this 203mm caliber howitzer will be stronger than the 155mm howitzer. It is not only powerful and has a long range, but also has guaranteed accuracy. Everyone, artillery is the god of war. For the sake of the god's favor, let us cooperate together."

Dr. Bull turned on the忽悠 (hū you - to trick or fool) mode, and the eyes of the people in the room slowly lit up.

For the army, of course they wanted more powerful weapons. If they had a 203mm howitzer, the firepower support for the troops would be on another level!

After Dr. Bull finished his introduction, the Fang leader spoke: "What do you think of Dr. Bull's proposal?"

Ding Kui's mind was spinning rapidly.

Now, it was impossible to import the production of the 155mm howitzer. It had become joint development, and Factory 960 was still the main force. Now, if they wanted to continue to receive funding from the higher-ups, there was only one way left!

"Reporting to the leader, our Factory 127 is willing to work with Dr. Bull's team to develop and produce a powerful 203mm howitzer for our army!" Ding Kui said.

They had to get the project first in order to ask the higher-ups for funding. If they didn't have the project, then they would have come for nothing!

"You also think highly of this howitzer?"

"Yes, caliber is justice, and caliber is truth! In order to have a better howitzer, we are willing to work diligently and do a good job in research and development. I believe that with the help of Dr. Bull, we will definitely be able to provide the army with the most powerful artillery."

Hearing Ding Kui's words, the Fang leader nodded with satisfaction. He looked around and then looked at Qin Yang: "President Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Yang was very helpless. Okay, it's my turn to offend people again.

Even if I offend people, I still have to speak. This large-caliber howitzer is outdated. It's a waste of money to do research and development now. The country's precious funds cannot be wasted like this.

Wait a minute, it's not good for self-use, but what about exporting it?

Qin Yang's eyes rolled, and he already had an idea.
