Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

960 Factory, conference room.

Bang!

Zhou Yongfei slammed his artificial leather briefcase onto the table.

"This is infuriating!"

"Factory Director Zhou, what's wrong?" Qin Baoguo asked, surprised, "What's made you so angry?"

"It's still about our overall relocation," Zhou Yongfei said, "I heard that the Shahe Iron and Steel Plant has been abandoned, so I went to the capital to lobby, wanting to get that land. I've been working on it for days, but, but…"

"But what?"

"Hmph, those guys are just jealous, jealous that we made money in the military-to-civilian project, and they're deliberately trying to make things difficult for us! Especially those leaders at the steel plant. They clearly don't want to spend money to buy new voltage regulators and lines, and they're planning to abandon the iron plant, but they're still squatting in the latrine without doing their business! They're even spreading rumors in their factory that those three thieves were instigated by us!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yongfei was extremely angry.

How many third-line factories are there in the country?

The large third-line, the small third-line, every single one of them is doing poorly, and only their 960 Factory was the first to successfully transform and even earn foreign exchange for the country!

Shouldn't such a factory be supported?

And we would hire thieves to sabotage? That's just impossible!

Hmph, they're just smearing us!

They're just jealous!

"Could there be someone manipulating things from behind? A bigger scheme?" Zhu Zizhong frowned.

"Why don't we get Yangzi over here? Maybe he'll have a good idea," Qin Baoguo said.

"That's right, Little Wang, go find Section Chief Qin!" Zhu Zizhong immediately gave the order.

"Come on, Lao Zhou, have some tea, take a rest. Once Section Chief Qin arrives, we'll definitely have a solution!" Zhu Zizhong was very calm.

"Respected leaders, I just received instructions from higher authorities."

At this moment, the secretary of the factory office walked in with a telegram: "The higher-ups are requesting that we attend a meeting to discuss the new heavy machine gun."

A meeting?

A discussion about the new heavy machine gun?

Zhou Yongfei angrily put down his teacup: "What's the point of going?

It has nothing to do with us.

If our factory doesn't relocate, we'll be too busy with the existing production.

Even if we can develop a new heavy machine gun, we won't be able to produce it!"

Zhu Zizhong glanced at Zhou Yongfei, who was still angry, wanting to say something, but before he could open his mouth, a young figure flashed in.

"Another meeting?

Don't call me to meetings for trivial matters.

I'm very busy!

The first batch of guns for the army is about to be shipped, and we're doing the final inspection."

Qin Yang really had something to do.

"Section Chief Qin, we called you here because we have an important task.

The higher-ups are requesting that we attend a meeting, and the factory has decided to send you."

"A meeting from the higher-ups?" Qin Yang frowned.

He was fed up, these meetings never end!

"Yangzi, you have to go.

The higher-ups have received definite intelligence that the old Russian NSV heavy machine gun only weighs 25 kilograms.

We also need to have a heavy machine gun of the same weight.

For the army, this gun is very important.

Especially in the current mountain warfare, if we can develop a powerful and lightweight heavy machine gun, it can provide the greatest help to the army!" Qin Baoguo had finished reading the telegram and was introducing the specific situation to Qin Yang, who opened his eyes wide and gaped.

"What? A 25-kilogram heavy machine gun? Hahaha…"

"Yes, we also can't believe it.

But, the old Russians' technology is indeed advanced enough, they have first-class gun masters, they must be able to do it," Qin Baoguo said.

"Advanced? Hahaha."

What's wrong with Qin Yang?

Qin Baoguo was a little curious.

"Hmph, what's the point of going?

They didn't help us with the relocation that concerns our factory's development, why should we attend this kind of meeting?

Even if we leave the system in the future and specialize in producing air guns, we can still live well," Zhou Yongfei was still angry.

"Factory Director Zhou, is the coordination work for our relocation not going smoothly?"

"That's right, they're all a bunch of jealous people!

The iron plant in Shahe has clearly been abandoned, but they still won't give it to us!"

"Then we have to go," Qin Yang said, "There will definitely be a group of leaders at the scene, we'll find a chance to talk to them about the land issue for the factory's relocation!"

"Yangzi, you can't mess around at this level of meeting!" Qin Baoguo was a little worried.

"I know, we'll go and join the fun, see what the situation is first," Qin Yang said, "I know what I'm doing."

A 25-kilogram 12.7mm heavy machine gun?

Heh heh heh, Qin Yang really planned to go and watch the fun.

As night fell, all the goods were loaded onto several old Jiefang trucks.

"Brother Lin, after this batch of guns arrives at the army, you need to personally teach them how to use them.

Many of the operating procedures are different from the previous guns," Qin Yang instructed, "Especially, don't disassemble them easily, otherwise the accuracy will be greatly reduced."

"Yeah, I know, I've mastered the operation of the guns during this time."

"Let Master Zhang accompany you to the army first, and when I'm done with my work, I'll personally go to the army to see and make improvements based on the feedback from the army."

According to the original plan, in order to better adapt this batch of guns to the army's use, the 960 Factory would send specialized technical personnel to the army to help with training and maintenance.

This measure would allow the army to quickly master the operation of the guns.

Although this operation had no precedent, it was tacitly approved by the army.

Qin Yang originally planned to go with them, but recently there were many things to do, and he had to be busy for a while, and the guns would also be used in the army for a period of time before problems would be exposed.

So, he wouldn't go with them directly.

"Yeah, I'll wait for you in the army."

The old Jiefang trucks started up, one by one driving out of the 960 Factory.

The factory leaders who came to see them off also left one after another.

Qin Yang watched the taillights of the cars finally disappear at the bend at the foot of the mountain, and also planned to go back, but saw a figure running quickly under the light.

The figure was light and agile, and two braids swayed as she ran.

"Yo, Wang Fang, what are you doing here?" Seeing the person who came, Qin Yang became interested again.

"I, I just got off work, I wanted to come and see him off." Wang Fang ran up to Qin Yang, panting, knowing that she was late.

"You're late," Qin Yang said, "Besides, Brother Lin has a wife, so don't think about it."

"I, I wanted to go to the army to see the demeanor of other People's Liberation Army soldiers and listen to their battle stories."

Qin Yang laughed, the girls of this era all admired heroes and liked to find soldiers, especially soldiers who had been on the battlefield.

"If you want to go, I do have a way."

"What way?"

"Oh, my shoulder hurts so much, it would be so comfortable if someone could give me a few thumps…"

"You! Men and women shouldn't touch!"

"The nurses in the hospital give people injections, they've even seen butts, what's with the shouldn't touch?

What era is this, feudal thinking!"

"Alright then." Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Fang could only give Qin Yang a few thumps.

"Can you tell me now?"

"My head is a little dizzy, you have to give me a massage…"

Smack!
