Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Gamble? Another gamble? Wang Chongming felt hesitant. This Director Qin was truly strange; could he really be right?

Wang Chongming was now somewhat unsure, but as if sensing his hesitation, Qin Yang continued, "But I guess you wouldn't dare, after all, you chickened out last time. It'll be the same this time, forget it."

With so many people watching, even if Wang Chongming knew Qin Yang was using reverse psychology, he had to accept the challenge: "Okay, what do you want to bet?"

The dean instantly felt a sense of foreboding. He almost forgot: these two had a conflict! This was going to cause trouble in his military academy. No matter who lost in the end, it wouldn't be a result he wanted to see.

He wanted to stop them, but he wasn't as fast as Qin Yang.

"Whoever loses has to run naked around the military academy's playground three times."

Boom! The people below all laughed. They had long heard about Director Qin's personality, but it was just hearsay. Now they finally saw it for themselves. Fierce, really fierce!

Pairs of admiring eyes looked over. Qin Yang didn't even realize that he had suddenly gained many fans. With these people's goodwill, Qin Yang's position became even more stable.

"Director Qin, don't be ridiculous," the dean said helplessly. "How can such low-level jokes be made in our highest-level academy? Give me some face…"

"Alright, then let's bet 100,000 yuan."

Wang Chongming's face was terrifyingly dark. It was because of 100,000 yuan that the Wang family was sent in. Now, Qin Yang brought up this number again. He must be doing it on purpose!

"Director Qin, aren't you making things difficult? Who with a normal income can save 100,000 yuan?" Someone below began to speak up for Wang Chongming, but these words were like knives cutting into Wang Chongming's flesh.

The person who spoke didn't know they had caused trouble and continued jokingly, "It's not as good as running naked three times!"

"Alright, stop making a fuss. Let's first listen to Director Qin's analysis. Why is Director Qin so sure that the British will send troops and that the British will win?" The dean skillfully stopped the disturbance and brought the meeting back to the topic.

"Everyone, being backward means being beaten. This is an unchanging truth. I'm in the military industry, so I'll talk about the problem from the perspective of the military industry." Qin Yang also became serious. "The Argentine navy appears to be strong on the surface, and even has an aircraft carrier, but the aircraft carrier is second-hand, and the carrier-based aircraft are also second-hand. Their most advanced warship, the Type 42 destroyer, was built by the British, and their most advanced fighter jet, the Super Étendard, was manufactured by the French. They simply don't have the ability to independently develop their military industry. All equipment is bought. Can they win this war? Do you think they will face the risk of being cut off from supplies when the war comes?"

"Let's look at their opponent. The British Invincible-class aircraft carrier is produced by themselves, the British Type 82 and Type 42 destroyers are produced by themselves, and the British nuclear submarines are produced by themselves. Although they have declined, they are still a major military power! Who gave you the illusion that the British are weak? If the British move their aircraft carrier fleet over, do you think we can handle it?"

"Director Qin, do you mean that all the equipment of the Argentine navy will be cut off from supplies? The entire Western world will help Britain?" Wang Chongming also returned to normal and began to debate with Qin Yang again.

"They won't help Britain, are they going to help Argentina? What relationship do they have with Argentina? Is it because they like to eat Argentine beef jerky?"

"Hmph, in short, I won't believe it, especially France, which has always been an oddball on the European continent…" Before Wang Chongming could finish speaking, he saw a staff officer walk in hurriedly, going straight to the front of the dean.

"Report, Dean, just received the latest news."

Since they were doing a war game, of course they had to have enough intelligence. Even though they were in a meeting, the dean had ordered the intelligence to be sent over as soon as possible.

"France has officially announced to the outside world that it has decided to temporarily detain the remaining Super Étendard fighter jets and Exocet missiles ordered by Argentina. They are not only implementing an arms embargo on Argentina, but also strictly prohibiting third-country transfers."

"What?" Wang Chongming was no longer calm. "How could the French do this? This combination is a sharp weapon against warships! Their embargo is helping Britain!"

"Even if France is the stirrer of the pot in the Western world, it is still Western." Qin Yang said, "Argentina is fighting Britain, which is equivalent to fighting the entire West. Who should the French help? You don't even have this much knowledge, what kind of researcher are you? Oh, right, Dean, my legs are a little tired."

Stirrer of the pot? Director Qin's description is so apt! There was another burst of sighs below.

"Lao Wang, you can go down first." The dean waved his hand at Wang Chongming, as if shooing away a fly.

He had been saying things wrong for so long, but look at Director Qin, everything he said came true! So, it's better to have Director Qin continue to speak.

"Let me introduce the Super Étendard and Exocet missile to everyone." Qin Yang was obviously more capable when it came to the military industry. "In fact, the Super Étendard is not advanced at all. The technical level of the airframe is similar to our Q-5, but France's avionics equipment is advanced. This aircraft can carry Exocet anti-ship missiles to attack the sea and is the French Navy's main carrier-based aircraft. In 1979, Argentina ordered 14 Super Étendards from France, but only five arrived. It is said that only five Exocet missiles also arrived."

"Then why didn't they wait a little longer?"

"They can't afford to wait. There are big domestic conflicts. If they don't take action, they will have to step down themselves. As for my prediction that it's Number Two, there must be an element of luck in it…"

The war game eventually turned into a military industry development presentation. If you want to make the motherland strong, you must develop the military industry! Although we emphasize that people will conquer nature, weapons are also very important!

Qin Yang was in the limelight at the military academy. When he returned to the company, Nie Xiaoqian greeted him with a smile: "Brother Yang, the Exocet missiles we bought before were prepared for this time, right? You are really amazing!"

"That's for sure. When is your husband not amazing? Come, give me a kiss."

Nie Xiaoqian quickly flashed back, looked left and right, and fortunately there was no one there. Even if they were married, they couldn't do such intimate actions in broad daylight. Brother Yang is good in every way, but this is not good.

"Alas, my own wife won't let me kiss her, depressed."

"Wait, wait until tonight…" Nie Xiaoqian's voice was a little low, and her face began to burn.

"Okay, then tonight." Qin Yang couldn't help but pinch his wife's cheek when he saw her shy look.

Nie Xiaoqian calmed down a bit: "Brother Yang, how are we going to contact the Argentines next?"

Now Qin Yang was also a little helpless: "How great would it be if we went to Argentina for a tourist wedding and sold the missiles at the same time! Alas, the army has misled me, messing around with self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and making me forget the business!"

"Brother Yang, it seems like you've forgotten more than just this one thing, right?"
