Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

This stumped Qin Yang.

Qin Yang had emerged in the military industry field, quickly becoming a genius-like figure, making a group of old experts feel ashamed and curious: Where did this young man, Qin Yang, learn all this? Did he bring it from the womb?

If facing others, Qin Yang could say he was a genius, born with knowledge, but facing the old leader, Qin Yang found himself unable to hide the truth. After all, it would be too presumptuous to spout nonsense in front of the old leader.

He respected the old leader in front of him, so he had to tell the truth.

"Actually, I…"

Before he could finish speaking, Secretary Song's voice came from outside: "Old leader, it's time for the meeting. Have you finished eating?"

The old leader smiled: "Alas, the time is too short. Let's chat again when we have the opportunity next time."

Watching the old leader's departing back, Qin Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Next time? Then let's talk about it next time.

Although the exercise had only been going on for the first day, all kinds of exercise situations had to be summarized, and the plan for the second day might have to be adjusted. The old leader originally didn't need to participate in this kind of meeting, but he valued the army very much, and this time he came out to observe the exercise, so of course he had to sit in.

At the meeting, everyone spoke one after another, expressing praise for the spectacular scene today. However, when it was Old He's turn to speak, he pointed out the problems.

"The coordination is problematic. The air force should have attacked earlier. Without air supremacy, there is nothing."

"Our air force wanted to attack a long time ago, but Old Qin wouldn't let them." Old Lin said helplessly: "Old Qin just wanted the ground troops to attack first, so it would look more impressive."

"Air power will become a decisive factor. We must pay attention to air power. I hope to see a more wonderful performance from the air force in tomorrow's exercise." The old leader interjected for once.

Old Qin nodded, modifying the exercise sequence after some exchange.

Old He continued: "Next is that the form of the exercise is too simple and does not consider the real battlefield."

"Real battlefield? What kind of real battlefield?"

"Electromagnetic interference, electromagnetic suppression. Without electromagnetic rights, our command system will be completely interrupted."

"Old He, the suggestion you've put forward this time is very strange. Your hypothetical enemy is no longer the enemy in the north, let alone the clowns in the south. The hypothetical enemy you're talking about is probably a high-tech battlefield dominated by the West, right?" Old Qin said.

Old He suddenly realized. That's right, the hypothetical enemy of the exercise had changed! When he and Qin Yang were discussing, he only noticed these shortcomings. How could he not have noticed the key things?

What was Qin Yang thinking? How could he regard the West, or even the United States, as the hypothetical enemy?

However, there are no eternal friends, nor unchanging enemies. Qin Yang's strategic vision is also very high!

In fact, where did Qin Yang understand these things? All he had was decades more experience than the people of this era. This experience allowed him to understand more things. How ridiculous it was for the people of this era to blindly fantasize about integrating into the Western civilized world. However, it did cultivate a large number of sheepdogs.

By the time the meeting ended, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Leaving the meeting room, Old He was still thinking about the hypothetical enemy. A big hand patted him on the back: "Old He, thank you for speaking up for our air force at the meeting just now. Our air force will be able to play a greater role in tomorrow's exercise."

"It wasn't him, he didn't say it!"

Old He's unusual reaction made Old Lin reveal a smile: "It really was him. I didn't expect that he really has foresight. I'll go talk to him tomorrow if I have the chance."

"Don't mention me in front of him." Old He said helplessly.

"I will tell him that Old He didn't tell me anything."

Watching Old Lin's departing back, Old He stamped his feet helplessly. In fact, the shortcomings of the exercise were minor matters. The reduction of one million troops was a major matter. Old He was afraid that Qin Yang would misunderstand that he had turned around and leaked Qin Yang's plans.

The next day.

Qin Yang didn't leave. Military R\u0026D personnel like him were destined not to go to the battlefield. So now, it was rare for him to stay and observe the scene, experiencing the atmosphere of the battlefield. After all, military exercises of this level would not be held in the future.

However, before the ground troops had even moved out, he heard the roar of planes in the sky. He raised his head, looked at the sky, and muttered to himself: "Strange, the commander-in-chief has figured it out and actually let the air force go first?"

"That's right. Yesterday, someone spoke up for our air force, so today they let our air force take the lead." A voice came from behind.

Qin Yang turned his head and was immediately stunned: "Old Lin, why aren't you at the viewing platform? What are you doing here?"

In this timeline, Qin Yang had met Old Lin once. At that time, Old Lin wanted to get the AWG-9 radar prototype, but Qin Yang refused. There was even some unpleasantness at the time. However, Qin Yang knew that Old Lin was a big shot, a person who had struggled for the country and the army all his life. He admired such a person, so of course he wouldn't be petty.

Now that Old Lin had run over, something must be up. Could it be that he was asking about the radar's R\u0026D progress? That thing was not simple, and it couldn't be produced so quickly.

"What, you brat don't welcome me?"

"How dare I." Qin Yang said: "If you want to watch, then sit down and watch together. Although the planes are a bit outdated, our pilots' skills and courage are first-class."

"Yes, our planes are too outdated." Old Lin said: "Since the country opened its doors, we have realized how backward we are. Therefore, we are also actively trying to find ways to improve our capabilities. Recently, we have been planning to go abroad for inspection and introduce advanced fighter jets. Director Qin, what are your thoughts?"

"Me? I'm just a gun maker. I was scolded for making cannons, and now I'm interfering in fighter jet matters. Won't I be scolded by people in the aviation industry?" Qin Yang said.

"We're just chatting casually, Director Qin. Just treat me as an ordinary person, like a cook or something." Old Lin said.

Cook? Qin Yang's heart skipped a beat. Was Old Lin hinting at something? Had he been sold out?

However, Old Lin's character was very high. Even if he knew something, he wouldn't talk nonsense. Now, he had to follow his lead and chat with him.

"If you want to talk about advanced fighter jet technology, it's still the United States. They have already developed their third-generation aircraft. The F-14, F-15, and F-16 are all good. However, the risk of purchasing American fighter jets is very high. The other party will also put forward some political demands. So, I think it's more appropriate to go to Europe and inspect the French Mirage 2000."

"Yes, we just wanted to go and inspect the Mirage 2000. You really guessed it. Amazing!" Old Lin exclaimed: "How many aircraft do you think it's appropriate for us to purchase?"

"I don't know about that, but I guess it's almost enough to just take a look. The purchase is very unlikely."

"Why?"

"Because we're poor!"
