Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"President Qin, if we want to fly, we need to apply for flight routes with the Civil Aviation Administration in advance. Especially for international flights, we need to contact foreign countries. This…"

This is not easy! The Civil Aviation Administration has a big prejudice against our Y-10. Every time the Y-10 flies a domestic route, we have to submit a report many days in advance and go through the process slowly. Now that we are flying abroad, will the Civil Aviation Administration coordinate? A single process might take ten days to half a month.

"Don't worry about this. I'll ask the Air Force for flight routes. This time, we're on a mission to transport supplies, not passengers. The Civil Aviation Administration can't control us."

Qin Yang didn't even think about going to the Civil Aviation Administration. If he did, they might ask to use their planes to earn extra money. After all, since the Civil Aviation Administration officially separated from the Air Force in March 1980, although it still has state support, it operates independently. With too many losses making the books look bad, they have to find ways to make money.

In Qin Yang's eyes, this matter was very simple. He just needed to give Old Lin a call. When they left Tibet, they would directly enter the airspace of Old Ba (Pakistan), and once out of Old Ba's airspace, they would be in international waters. If the Air Force gave Old Ba a heads-up, Old Ba would definitely cooperate.

"Thank you, President Qin."

"Okay, I'll ask them for six hundred thousand, and that will cover the flight expenses for the next period of time."

Six hundred thousand! Everyone present was excited. A domestic flight only costs tens of thousands in fuel, this six hundred thousand would allow them to fly more than ten times! The more the Y-10 flies, the more mature it becomes.

"President Qin, you brought in this transportation business. Let's just treat it as a test flight for the Y-10. Just take three hundred thousand, and consider the remaining three hundred thousand as your hard work fee," Old Ma said.

"A mere six hundred thousand US dollars isn't even enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of our Factory 960. No need to be polite with me," Qin Yang said.

Wait, is it US dollars?

This year, the exchange rate between RMB and USD has risen to 1.92. This six hundred thousand US dollars is more than one million RMB! President Qin just promised to give their side support, and now the support has really come! Old Ma was extremely grateful: "President Qin, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? These are all small matters. I'm leaving," Qin Yang said, and went to the base gate again, to meet Selsio who was waiting anxiously there.

"President Qin, how is it?"

"Alas, our country's planes are too busy," Qin Yang said. "I talked to them for a long time before they finally agreed to transport this batch of goods for us. They quoted six hundred thousand US dollars. This money can be transferred, or we can be paid in cash in Ethiopia."

This amount of money can't buy a single Exocet missile, and won't attract special attention.

"Okay, no problem," Selsio nodded. "Then can we load the plane now?"

He couldn't wait any longer.

"Of course, you can also get on the plane and go together. The plane needs to be refueled and serviced, and it can take off in a few hours."

"Okay, we'll wait on the plane!"

Watching everyone get busy, Qin Yang turned and walked towards the base tower, where he dialed a number.

"Hello, I'm looking for Old Lin."

"Who am I? I'm President Qin. No need for an appointment, connect me quickly. Can you take responsibility for delaying important matters?"

"Which President Qin could it be? From Fangbei Company."

In the gray building, Old Lin picked up the phone, listening to the voice inside.

"Good, it wasn't enough that I helped you coordinate the Y-8, you still want me to help you coordinate flight routes? President Qin, are you owing our Air Force more and more?"

"It's not certain who owes whom. Does the Air Force want us to help develop an airborne early warning aircraft?"

"Do you have the ability? We don't want a cataract."

Due to the curvature of the earth, aircraft flying at extremely low altitudes are difficult to detect by ground radar. Therefore, developed countries moved the radar into the sky, looking down from a high position. All aircraft breaking through at extremely low altitudes would be exposed.

However, the ground is not flat. Various mountains, rivers, villages, and even large trees will reflect radar waves. If these are not filtered out, the radar screen in the sky will be a snowstorm, and nothing can be seen clearly, just like a cataract.

The KJ-1 airborne early warning aircraft developed by the Air Force in its early years had to end in failure for this reason.

"We can copy the Tomcat's radar, can't we solve this problem? Old Lin, what's so difficult about an airborne early warning aircraft? Isn't it just a large AWG-9 radar?"

"Okay, then it's settled. President Qin, come to Gongzhufen now, and let's talk in detail."

"Now? I don't have time now, some other day."

"Okay, give the phone to Ma Zengbin."

Qin Yang casually handed the phone to Ma Zengbin, who had been following him, his heart full of anticipation.

When he was on the Y-10 just now, Qin Yang said he would take him with him next time he flew. It hasn't even been two hours, and it's come true!

Ethiopia, Africa, is full of wealth. This time, going with the Y-10, strive to open up the African market! There are warlords everywhere. Should he support a few forces, and then be able to exploit the resources there in large quantities?

Africa is more difficult, so he won't bring Xiao Qian. Going to Europe and America is tourism, going to Africa is suffering, but Lin Ge (Brother Lin) has to be brought along, as his bodyguard, and Zhang Chao has to be brought along, plus a few salesmen. In the future, once the market is opened, he won't go there himself, just let Zhang Chao or his men take a trip when needed.

Yes, he has to call Factory 960 and have Lin Ge and Zhang Chao come over.

Seeing Ma Zengbin put down the phone, Qin Yang was about to pick it up.

"President Qin, what are you going to do?"

"Call a few people to go to Africa together."

"President Qin, everyone else can go, but you can't."

"Why?"

Did he even need to ask? Of course, it was ordered by Old Lin! This operation was arranged temporarily, and there will definitely be some omissions. Qin Yang's current identity and status do not allow him to wander around casually. What if something happens in Africa? Wouldn't Old Nie go to Old Lin for trouble?

However, these words cannot be said explicitly, so Old Lin called Ma Zengbin separately and asked him to keep an eye on Qin Yang. At this time, when Qin Yang asked this question, Ma Zengbin was speechless for a moment.

Ding-ling-ling! The phone rang, and Ma Zengbin quickly picked it up: "Hello, who is this? Director Shen? You want to talk to President Qin?"

Ma Zengbin looked at Qin Yang, asking if he should answer.

In a flash, Qin Yang thought of many things. He didn't expect that he would be in contact with this guy so soon? What choice should he make? Directly confront him?

Of course not, he had to use wisdom!

Qin Yang grabbed the phone.

"Hello, Director Shen, this is Qin Yang. You don't need to be polite, just call me Yangzi."

Putting down the phone, Qin Yang looked at the Y-10 outside the window and couldn't help but sigh: "Next time, there are more important things to deal with this time."

After framing so many people, this time, in order to pave the way for the Y-10, it is justified to get rid of a real traitor and vent their anger for Old Ma and the others!

Ma Zengbin on the side finally breathed a long sigh of relief. This mission had many twists and turns, but fortunately, he was able to complete it in the end.
