Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

960 Factory, at the factory gate.

Several officers in peaked caps stood under a large tree by the roadside, their faces calm, but their minds were uneasy.

"Chief Shen, do you think that Director Qin will obediently come with us?" Finally, one of them spoke.

"We've already obtained the investigation warrant. He has to cooperate with us. If he dares to resist, that will only confirm his guilt!" Chief Shen Lu said, "If they dare to attack us, that will further prove the lawlessness of the 960 Factory and the arrogance of that Director Qin! We're not afraid of making a big deal out of this!"

"Who's causing trouble at our 960 Factory?" As he spoke, a team from the Security Department jogged over. Wang Guoqing, the head of the Security Department, stood with his hands on his hips, his face full of arrogance.

In the past, the 960 Factory's Security Department was entirely controlled by Mu Guijin. Later, when Mu Guijin fell from power, the Qin family and his son took control of the entire factory. Everyone speculated whether Director Qin would carry out a major purge of the Security Department. Unexpectedly, Qin Yang didn't do that. On the contrary, he promoted Wang Guoqing, who was originally a staff member, to the position of head of the department.

Wang Guoqing was so moved at the time that tears welled up in his eyes. He decided to be Director Qin's most loyal lackey… No, to do his job well and protect the 960 Factory!

One by one, bayonets were fixed to the ends of the rifles, locking into place precisely. The triangular bayonets were dark and gleaming, carrying a chilling murderous intent in the sunlight.

"Ready, thrust!"

"Kill!" Everyone's movements were uniform, thrusting forward together while shouting loudly, their momentum like tigers.

"Ouch!" One of the officers in peaked caps felt his legs go weak and sat directly on the ground.

In this era, every factory and enterprise had its own Security Department. Once a theft or fight occurred within their jurisdiction, the Security Department could handle it without the need for the police. In some industrial cities, the Security Department was entirely responsible for maintaining law and order. This situation continued until the 1990s, when the law enforcement power was taken back by the police.

Not to mention Type 56 rifles, some Security Departments even had machine guns or anti-aircraft guns! They also underwent quasi-military training.

The officers in peaked caps were usually responsible for daily security. They had never seen such a scene before. The shout of 'kill' soared into the sky, immediately scaring them.

"Take one step forward!"

Clang!

In perfect unison, they took one step forward, continuing the bayonet drill.

"Take one step forward!"

Shen Lu's expression changed. These people weren't directly confronting them, but instead, they were conducting drills at the gate, approaching step by step. In a dozen steps, they could be stabbed!

"Gentlemen, please move aside and don't interfere with our Security Department's normal training," Wang Guoqing said, swinging his thick, powerful arm and pushing several officers in peaked caps backward.

Wang Guoqing gave Shen Lu some face and didn't push him, allowing him to remain in place, waiting for the bayonets to come at him to see if he would dodge!

Shen Lu had considered many possibilities. The worst-case scenario was being beaten up by the 960 Factory's Security Department. If that happened, they could go back and complain to their superiors, saying the impact was too negative and that the perpetrators must be severely punished!

But now, these were triangular bayonets! If that thing stabbed you, even if the ambulance was nearby, or even if you had surgery on the spot, it might not save you because the wound it made was too big!

Was it necessary to risk his life for this matter?

Just as Shen Lu was hesitating, the roar of an engine sounded from inside the gate. He turned his head to look and saw a tank with a high gun barrel driving out of the workshop. This tank didn't drive to the parking lot for delivery to customers, but directly towards the gate!

What was this tank for?

Wang Guoqing was also stunned for a moment, not knowing what the tank was going to do. However, when his gaze fell on the two sidecar motorcycles parked by the roadside outside the gate, he understood. Good, the workers on our production line weren't pushovers either.

The officers in peaked caps were terrified. The bayonet drill of the Security Department was already too much for them to handle. What were these tanks going to do? Run them over?

It was said that Director Qin had once driven a tank over people, scaring them so much that they wet their pants. Like general, like soldiers, the people of this 960 Factory were all fearless!

However, the Security Department's people were also here. Would the person driving the tank run over them too?

Just as they were stunned, the tank had already rumbled past them. Then, with a screeching sound, one track braked to a stop, while the other track spun on the ground, turning to point directly at the two sidecar motorcycles.

Shen Lu was the first to react. "Quick, quickly drive our sidecar motorcycles away!"

The officers in peaked caps also reacted, wanting to drive, but their legs were weak and wouldn't listen to orders. They couldn't even take half a step. Before they could move, the tank's track had already run over the sidecar motorcycle!

The track first crushed the front of the car, the handlebars. With a soft bang, the front tire exploded. Then, the fuel tank was crushed, and gasoline gurgled out. The tank's track continued forward, accurately running over the first sidecar motorcycle. The once imposing sidecar motorcycle instantly turned into a flat piece of iron. Then, the tank drove towards the second sidecar motorcycle.

Shen Lu's eyes were bloodshot. Their station only had these two sidecar motorcycles, and now they were completely destroyed. How was he going to explain this when he got back?

"You, you actually dare to damage public property. This is a crime!" Shen Lu said through gritted teeth.

"Public property? It's clearly because you were blind and dared to block our gate with broken motorcycles! The tank's visibility isn't good, so it ran them over. Don't worry, we won't ask you to pay for the damages," Wang Guoqing said, then shouted loudly, "Attention, bayonet drill continues! One step forward, thrust!"

"No!" Shen Lu suddenly shouted, his eyes wide with terror as he looked at the sidecar motorcycle that had turned into scrap metal.

The tank also stopped. A person's upper body climbed out of the turret. That person picked up a cigarette, then struck a match, lit the cigarette, and casually threw the match away.

The match drew a beautiful arc in the air, then landed on the crushed sidecar motorcycle.

In the next moment, flames rose up, burning fiercely.

The firelight illuminated Shen Lu's face, which became twisted. "You, what you're doing is too much! I'm going to report your crimes to the higher-ups!"

"We will also report to the higher-ups that someone is interfering with our factory's normal operations, extorting and demanding things."

"What's going on?" Qin Yang arrived late. He strode to the gate and looked at Shen Lu. "Chief Shen, I heard you're looking for me to investigate the situation? Don't worry, I'm a law-abiding citizen. I will definitely cooperate with your investigation. Let's go, let's go now."
