Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"Leader Wang, if it was someone from Factory 296, we won't pursue it," Qin Yang said. "Anyway, this prototype gun wasn't registered. As long as we don't pursue it, this matter can be blown over, saving the military trouble."

Hearing Qin Yang say this, Leader Wang's face was filled with emotion.

Losing a gun is a major case!

Back when Qin Yang first transmigrated to this world, Yang Zhaoxiang framed him with stealing a gun, wanting to completely knock him down. Now, the tables have turned, and it's Yang Zhaoxiang's brother, Yang Zhaojun, who's stealing Qin Yang's gun.

Qin Yang isn't as shameless as Yang Zhaoxiang, making a huge fuss about everything. Instead, he wants to handle it discreetly. This style is truly noble!

Although it's not the military's gun, losing it in the military camp means the military has to take responsibility. Someone might even lose their position because of it. Now, Qin Yang is willing to suffer a loss to protect the military's reputation. How could Leader Wang not be moved?

This matter won't affect Leader Wang, but his subordinates will be unlucky.

Qin Baoguo, who was beside him, also realized what was happening. His son was truly clever!

If the 960 Factory, this third-tier military factory, wants to return to the military industry, it will inevitably offend many competitors. Since they're going to compete anyway, their relationship won't be good. That's why Qin Yang could be so unscrupulous at the banquet.

Qin Yang saying he wouldn't pursue the matter and would handle it discreetly, of course, Leader Wang likes his approach of considering the military's interests. If this matter blows up, many people will be implicated. But if it's handled discreetly, only their 960 Factory will suffer.

"Our research and development of this gun was originally for the military," Qin Yang said. "Now, the southern battlefield needs sniper rifles, so we developed them. We prioritize the interests of the military. If Factory 296 can quickly mass-produce this gun and solve the military's urgent needs, then even if we don't gain any benefits, we won't have any complaints."

What a high level of awareness!

Leader Wang was very moved. At the celebration banquet, Qin Yang single-handedly debated everyone, not hesitating to offend people, showing the sharpness of a young man. But now, in order to reduce the impact, he's willing to suffer losses and prioritize the overall situation, which truly moved him.

"Qin Yang, you are a good comrade!" Leader Wang said, "If they, Factory 296, dare to come to the capital and demand to replace you in producing sniper rifles, I, Lao Wang, will be the first to disagree! The orders are yours, no one can take them away!"

"Thank you, Leader Wang," Qin Baoguo said from the side.

"Our military warehouse still has a few sets of tarpaulins for the 212 vehicles. I'll give you a new set!"

"That's great! Thank you, thank you!"

While they were deciding to handle this matter discreetly, Yang Zhaojun and his companion had already boarded the train with the prototype gun. After showing their work permits, they were also given extra care by the train conductor, who arranged a position near the train attendant in a sleeper car for them to watch over it throughout the journey.

After swaying for two days and one night, the train finally arrived in Shancheng. That afternoon, Yang Zhaojun and the others returned to Factory 296.

"Engineer Yang brought the prototype gun back. It seems he's managed to get the task," Wang Lijun, the head of the technical section, said with a smile.

"That's right, when our Factory 296 wants a task, who would dare to compete with us?" Staff member Xu Zhiqiang said.

"Alas, it's a long story," Yang Zhaojun said with a depressed expression, explaining the whole situation.

In this era, there's no internet, and long-distance calls have to be made by queuing up at the post office. Sending telegrams is too expensive, so Yang Zhaojun and the others' experiences aren't very clear to them yet. At this time, listening to Yang Zhaojun recounting the bidding process, Wang Lijun slammed the table on the spot.

"A third-tier military factory actually dares to steal food from our mouths! They've already made a name for themselves in civilian products, why are they still stirring up trouble in our industry! We already have too many monks and not enough porridge!"

After saying that, Wang Lijun looked at the box in Yang Zhaojun's hand: "Then what's the matter with this prototype gun?"

"This is our means of turning defeat into victory," Yang Zhaojun said. "That night, taking advantage of their celebration banquet, I took back the 960 Factory's prototype gun. As long as we imitate it and report it to the capital, the higher-ups will definitely give us the production task!"

Took it back?

Wang Lijun's face darkened: "Engineer Yang, do you know what kind of behavior this is?"

"I know, if the 960 Factory pursues it, I'll stand up alone and take all the responsibility on myself, it has nothing to do with the factory! Going in is going in, I'm not afraid of eating peanuts! I just can't swallow this anger! No one can take away what our Factory 296 wants! As long as we imitate the gun and get the order, I'll die without regrets!"

"You!" Wang Lijun stood up and paced back and forth: "You really don't know what's important. By doing this, we've also offended Leader Wang! He's a big leader in the military region and has a say in the ordering of light weapons! Alas, why don't you use your brain when you do things?"

"Anyway, the prototype gun has already been taken back. If the factory is afraid of trouble, then I'll take the prototype gun back and apologize in person," Yang Zhaojun said with a righteous appearance.

"Alas, I really can't do anything with you, forget it. Hurry up and imitate this gun. As long as the gun is made, we'll apologize to Leader Wang again, and he should be able to forgive us. There's no other way now, make the prototype gun before the incident is exposed, and atone for our sins."

After Wang Lijun finished speaking, he looked at Yang Zhaojun again: "Don't do this kind of stupid thing a second time!"

"Yes! I'll take people to start imitating it now!"

Not caring about the fatigue of the journey, Yang Zhaojun began to enter into tense work.

Xu Zhiqiang took professional tools and planned to measure various data inside the barrel. But when he aimed at the inside of the barrel, he was stunned.

"The inside of this barrel isn't chrome-plated!" Xu Zhiqiang said, "What's going on? How can a non-chrome-plated barrel leave the factory?"

All the way here, Yang Zhaojun didn't dare to open the gun case. Now, it was also the first time he personally operated this gun. He looked into the barrel and his face was a little ugly: "No wonder their guns have such high precision, it turns out they're cheating!"
