Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

The truth is clear: the gun in Qin Yang's hand did indeed hit the coin a thousand meters away. However, Yang Zhaojun was unwilling to admit defeat.

Instinctively, he didn't believe the result; it was simply impossible! He was certain that Qin Yang was cheating!

But now, Qin Yang's words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

If he acknowledged the result, he would have to fulfill the bet, and how could he possibly continue in the system after that? However, if he didn't fulfill the bet, his reputation would be ruined, and people would point fingers at him. 'Look at that guy, he reneges on his bets when he loses; he has a character problem!'

No matter what he did, it would be detrimental to him!

His mind was racing, trying to think of a solution.

"Yangzi, what are you saying?" Just then, Qin Baoguo spoke up: "Everyone here is your uncle or elder. The bet was just a joke; how can you take it seriously?"

His own father simply disdained playing political games with others, but that didn't mean he couldn't! Qin Yang had to give his father a thumbs up; this was the best way to handle it!

On one hand, Qin Baoguo had a kind heart and didn't want to see Yang Zhaojun make a fool of himself. On the other hand, he knew very well that if Yang Zhaojun really ran around the target range naked today, Yang Zhaojun would lose face, and his own reputation would probably suffer as well.

It was best to show mercy where possible, demonstrating his magnanimity for future interactions, and also paving the way for Qin Yang. If the story of Qin Yang forcing others to do this spread, Qin Yang's reputation would also be tarnished.

"Dad, we can treat it as a joke because we won. But if we had lost today, do you think he would have let us off?" Qin Yang retorted to Qin Baoguo, father and son putting on a show together.

In the system, Yang Zhaojun appeared friendly with everyone on the surface, but if a conflict were to arise with him… that guy was petty and would definitely not let it go.

Yang Zhaojun's face turned red. In his eyes, Qin Baoguo and Qin Yang were deliberately humiliating him by playing good cop, bad cop!

"If we lose, we will fulfill the bet. A true man's word is his bond. But if we win, we must also show mercy where possible and not be overbearing," Qin Baoguo continued to educate his son.

"Yes, Dad, I was wrong."

"Alright, a loss is a loss! Although I, Yang Zhaojun, am not a big shot, I will never allow others to scold me!" Yang Zhaojun's face was flushed as he began to unbuckle his belt.

It was summer, and he was only wearing a pair of pants. Taking them off would only take a second or two, but Yang Zhaojun's movements were incredibly slow.

"Alright, alright. Do you still have any respect for this old man? Do you remember what I just said?" Leader Fang finally spoke.

He had to stop this farce.

Hearing Leader Fang's words, Yang Zhaojun immediately re-buckled his belt. This way, he had complied with the bet, and it was the leader who had spoken up to stop him, giving him both face and substance.

"This gun is not bad; it's much better than the old Maozi's SVD sniper rifle, except that the firing sound is a bit loud." At this time, an expert spoke up, changing the subject. Let's continue discussing the gun!

"That's right. For snipers, concealment is the most important thing. Even if this gun can hit a coin a thousand meters away, it's worthless! It's just for show!" Yang Zhaojun, who had just been forced to almost strip naked, suddenly found a new breakthrough.

Even if this gun was extremely accurate, it would be useless!

"Especially in the current battles in the southern border region, where there are large forests, long-range guns are useless. We still have to develop guns similar to the SVD sniper rifle. We can't just pursue range and accuracy; we also have to consider other factors. Years ago, the Americans were stuck in the Vietnam War. On the battlefield, the AK47's reliability completely surpassed the American M16."

After saying these words, Yang Zhaojun admired himself. In this situation, he was still able to think of these reasons to turn the tide; it was not easy!

What's the use of long range? What's the use of high accuracy? The battlefield in the southern border doesn't need it! The sound of this 12.7mm sniper rifle is too loud when firing, making it easy to expose the target. Therefore, this gun is not suitable for our troops' needs!

After saying this, he looked at Leader Wang: "Leader Wang, am I right?"

Leader Wang didn't answer. Analyzing it, Yang Zhaojun's words made sense. However, wasn't this Yang Zhaojun too shameless? According to the bet just now, he should have run around naked. Now that people had let him off and didn't pursue the matter, he was continuing to speak badly about them?

His character was not good!

"Lao Wang, what do you think?" Leader Fang asked.

Although Yang Zhaojun's performance was despicable, some things still needed to be considered.

Did the military need this high-precision sniper rifle?

Leader Wang pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "In the southern border region, this sniper rifle should not be of any use."

"Their Factory 960 has long been engaged in military-to-civilian conversion. They definitely cannot manufacture an advanced sniper rifle suitable for the battlefield!"

"Whether they can or not, we'll only know after trying!" Qin Baoguo also became anxious: "Leaders, I am willing to represent our Factory 960 and issue a military order!"

"Dad, there's no need for such a big show." Qin Yang said: "Since our large-caliber sniper rifle is not suitable for battlefield needs, we will launch it on the international market. A sniper rifle with an accuracy of 0.5 MOA is unmatched globally. Selling at least a thousand units a year at ten thousand US dollars each would be enough."

Everyone was shocked again.

Even if Factory 960 didn't get this imitation task, they would still be considered glorious in defeat! They had already shown off enough. If they were to export it, it could really sell for a sky-high price!

Amidst the shock of the crowd, Qin Yang continued: "Of course, if we don't bring this task back, how can we continue to survive in the military-industrial system? If they嫌弃 咱们 又 粗 又 硬 又 长 的 (dislike our product for being thick, hard, and long), then we'll make one that's 又 细 又 短 的 (thin and short) and see if our new gun can catch the experts' eyes."

After Qin Yang finished speaking, he walked back to the 212 and took out a new box from the back. After opening it, he took out the rifle inside.

The date-red, hollowed-out grip, the short magazine, the long barrel, the dark gun case, and the scope above… the appearance of this rifle was exactly the same as the SVD sniper rifle!

"This is impossible. You haven't even obtained a sample gun. How could you have imitated this sniper rifle?" Yang Zhaojun exclaimed in surprise.

"Can't we make guns without a sample gun? Can our military industry only imitate forever and never develop independently?" Qin Yang glanced at Yang Zhaojun: "Lacking initiative!"
