Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

In the capital, the telephone rang next to the old leader who was working at his desk. After hanging up, he fell into deep thought.

The main focus of the disarmament was the army, and the resistance would definitely be significant. No army that was cut would be happy, because once it was cut, the army's designation and honor would disappear with it. Many people couldn't get over that mental hurdle. However, now, if helicopters were allocated to the army to form an army aviation corps, it could be considered a form of compensation for the army.

This plan is good, it's worth considering.

Of course, it needs to be further investigated to see how Western army aviation operates. After returning, we also need to establish corresponding units. The army needs to modernize, and there should be both reductions and increases.

Just as the old leader was pondering, the phone rang again.

"Reporting, old leader, a message from the United States says that a delegation organized by William Perry will be visiting us soon."

William Perry? This person's status is not low! The old leader thought for a moment, then said, "Transfer General Qin from Fangbei Company and have him participate in the reception."

At this time, Qin Yang had already come out of the meeting room, and Old Lin was still chattering beside him.

"General Qin, you're not being fair. You don't know how much the old leader trusts you. If you say that, there's a real chance that our air force's helicopters will be allocated to the army. Our air force doesn't have much to begin with, is it easy?"

"Old Lin, I'm doing this for the air force's sake," Qin Yang said. "Think about it, the air force is bleeding heavily, and the higher-ups are watching. So, if you go to the higher-ups to complain and get the country to allocate funds to purchase fighter jets, maybe the higher-ups will grit their teeth and agree. If they can allocate a billion dollars, maybe you can buy ten or so Mirage 2000s."

"One hundred million dollars per plane? Isn't that wasteful..." Old Lin was very annoyed, and then he saw Secretary Song coming over.

"General Qin, starting tomorrow, you need to participate in a new task. Don't come to the training ground anymore."

"What task?" Qin Yang was not disappointed, only curious. He couldn't interfere with the exercise anymore. Who knew, one day some officer might not like him and fire a shot at his location.

"Receiving foreign guests," Secretary Song said.

"Foreign guests? Then if I'm going to participate, it will be in the name of our Fangbei Company. In that case, I want Nie Xiaoqian to participate as well, she can help with the translation. Also, Uncle Dong has to participate. With him around, it will save those foreign affairs departments from bothering me. Or we might as well take the lead, and the people from the foreign affairs department shouldn't get involved."

"I can't decide that, I have to report to the higher-ups, but I think there shouldn't be any problems," Secretary Song said. "The level of the people coming is not low, the leader is William Perry. For you, this is an important task, don't mess it up."

"What? Perry is coming?" Qin Yang was stunned.

This guy is coming? Can there be anything good? He's coming with a belly full of bad ideas!

"General Qin, do you know what they're coming for?" Secretary Song asked, very surprised, looking at Qin Yang's surprised expression.

What else could they be doing but trying to pull us onto their chariot! However, Qin Yang didn't need to worry about these things, and he didn't need to be a prophet here.

Qin Yang said, "I'm not an American's worm in their stomach, how would I know what they want to do, but it's good that they're coming!"

"Good?"

"That's right, for us, this is a good opportunity!

I have to think about how to sell our weapons to the Americans..."

Sell to the Americans?

Old Lin laughed, standing to the side: "The Americans' weapons and equipment are one or two generations ahead of us, would they buy our weapons?"

"Why not?" A smile appeared on Qin Yang's face: "This time, they're here to promote their plan, I can't control that, but I'll take this opportunity to promote our plan to the Americans. Not too much, just sell them a billion or two billion dollars worth of weapons and equipment."

"Promote a plan?"

"That's right, promote a plan."

Secretary Song was very impressed. The old leader was wise. Since he specifically asked Qin Yang to participate, there must be a reason. Sure enough, Qin Yang was already about to play his role.

If anyone else said they would sell weapons to the United States, it would be wishful thinking. But with Qin Yang, anything is possible!

September 16th, Qin Yang, who had been out and about for several days, finally reappeared at Fangbei Company. Leader Dong and Nie Xiaoqian both looked at Qin Yang with expectant eyes: "Do you know what the Americans are coming for?"

"It would be more appropriate to replace the question mark with an exclamation mark," Qin Yang said. "The Americans are coming, definitely to pull us onto their chariot. To achieve this goal, a large number of weapons from their arsenal will be sent to us, so that we can stand on the front line against the old Maozi, to take the bullets for them."

In front of Secretary Song, Qin Yang would definitely not say too much, but Leader Dong and Nie Xiaoqian were old acquaintances, especially Nie Xiaoqian, who was Qin Yang's future wife. Showing off in front of beautiful women is a common problem for men.

"How do you know?"

"Guessing," Qin Yang replied lazily. "Think about it, the old Maozi just held the Western-81 military exercise, scaring those guys in Western Europe so much that they couldn't sleep, fearing that the old Maozi's armored torrent would advance and turn the exercise into real combat, but it was all a false alarm. And then, we held the North China exercise. In the eyes of Westerners, what are we?"

The two shook their heads.

"We are their saviors," Qin Yang said. "They will definitely try every means to divert the disaster to the east, so that the old Maozi will focus on the East, and even if they fight, they will fight from here, so that they will be safe."

Leader Dong's face changed: "Now that you say that, we can understand. We have to prepare in advance and not let their conspiracy succeed."

"These are all my guesses, I'm just telling you," Qin Yang said. "If I take these remarks to the reception meeting, what would others say? Wouldn't they all criticize us for wasting time with imaginary things? I don't want to argue with them all day long, and I don't want to be a prophet."

Mouth cannon, prophet? Qin Yang always comes up with new words, but it's easy to understand what they mean. He's really talented. Nie Xiaoqian's eyes were full of admiration.

"Okay, next we'll still study our sales plan. Since the old leader agreed to let us do the reception work, we have to use our advantages," Qin Yang said. "I plan to sell the Americans the guerrilla three-piece suit."

"Which three pieces?"

Qin Yang smiled and continued to introduce his plan.
