Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After preparing for so long, we will not let the British off easily, but now we need to kill them severely. But you must also grasp the scale, be greedy and wait for the other party to deal with Argentina, and you will be the next one.

In fact, what Bao Zixuan is most concerned about at this time is not how much money he can make, but that the British will give him what he wants. Otherwise, it would be too much trouble to spend so much effort. After all, the investment in prerequisites is not small.

Richard said: "When can other aircraft be delivered? At this time, the empire has already mobilized for war. This time the Argentines dare to make trouble again, then the empire has no other choice."

Bao Zixuan: "One week, but now there is another troublesome matter. Although it is responsible for transportation tasks, it will inevitably encounter dangers. Do we need to install a weapon system to deal with crisis situations?"

Richard: "Of course it would be best if weapons could be installed. Then the Xiangjiang monster would have a much greater chance of survival on the battlefield."

Bao Zixuan: "There is no problem in installing weapons, but they have to be installed in the UK. Heiyun is not a military industry company and does not have a military industry license. It is illegal to modify military products without permission."

After hearing what Bao Zixuan said, Youde and Richard fell into deep thought. It turns out that the purpose of the richest man is to obtain a military industry license. After such a long journey, he finally found out.

They all know that the British Empire has never authorized military industry licenses to local companies in the colonies, and this gap cannot be opened. If Heiyun Group is authorized by the military industry license, then with Bao Zixuan's character, he will definitely dare to develop any weapons and equipment that he likes and thinks are useful.

But if we don’t authorize the other party’s military industry license now, it’s very likely that we won’t be able to get ground-effect aircraft. Even if it is obtained, it can only be used as a transportation tool and cannot form its own combat effectiveness at all.

To become a military industry enterprise, you must obtain a military industry license issued by the government. Only military products produced by companies with licenses are considered legal. Of course, it is not that difficult to become a military industry company.

The so-called military industrial enterprises are the product of the evolution of war and the development of social productive forces. With the development of science and technology and changes in war needs, the scale, structure, and organizational form of military industrial enterprises have continued to adjust and change. The products they produce have gradually expanded from the initial simple types of weapons and equipment such as guns and ammunition to the production of aircraft and tanks. , ships and other large weapons and equipment, as well as nuclear, chemical, biological weapons and information weapons and equipment, the product structure is becoming increasingly complex, combat performance is developing by leaps and bounds, and technological content is constantly improving. After the Industrial Revolution, in order to enhance the strength of the military, many countries invested in the government or the military to establish factories specializing in manufacturing weapons. For example, in the mid-19th century, the United Kingdom established factories specializing in manufacturing guns, ammunition, and warships, which became the prototype of military industrial enterprises.

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, new science and technology were widely used in the military. TNT explosives, airplanes, radio transceivers, etc. were successively invented and produced. The types and quantities of weapons increased, and a large amount of private investment for profit entered. In the military industry, a large number of private military industry enterprises have been established, and the types and numbers of weapons manufacturing factories have increased dramatically, gradually forming a military industry enterprise pattern in which private enterprises are the mainstay, supplemented by a small number of state-owned enterprises. After entering the era of imperialism, monopoly capital vigorously strengthened its weapons production capacity in order to export capital, plunder resources, and invade and expand. The proportion of military industrial enterprises in the industry increased rapidly.

Now Bao Zixuan wants Heiyun Group to have the qualifications to produce military products. In the future, the research and development and production of any military products will be deemed legal, making it even more difficult to control them. Moreover, even if you are the Governor of Hong Kong and the Commander of the Hong Kong Garrison, the two of you do not have the right to authorize Heiyun Group's military industry license.

Yoder: "Sheng Bao, this matter is not something we can decide. It is beyond our scope of authority. However, I will report this matter to London, and I will try my best to fight for you."

In normal times, I would probably refuse without hesitation, but now we are in wartime. Heiyun Group is a company that can contribute to the war. If the army cannot use the most advanced weapons because it does not have military production qualifications, then they are sinners.

Richard: "We'd better experience the performance of the Xiangjiang Monster first. After all, even if we apply for a domestic military license, we have to see if it's worth it."

Since they wanted to check it out, Bao Zixuan took a few people to the dock. Seeing a behemoth like a ground-effect aircraft, Richard knew from his many years of military experience that this thing was definitely an artifact of strategic transportation. If it could be equipped with a weapon system, it would definitely be a nightmare for warships.

Richard: "Sheng Bao, what stage is the test flight of the Xiangjiang Monster at now?"

Bao Zixuan: "The test flight of the basic subjects has been completed, and the overall performance is very good. The next step will be to conduct test flights in high and low temperature environments. To this end, we are preparing to transport the aircraft to the desert areas of the Middle East and the Antarctic glaciers for flight tests."

I heard that the aircraft will be tested in high and low temperature environments, which proves that this aircraft has all-weather, all-terrain, and global transportation capabilities, which can also be said to be combat capabilities.

Richard knew that Bao Zixuan was determined to obtain the military license. People like them will definitely not be able to stop it. At worst, they will start a new one, and then the British Empire will really offend people to death.

Although you are a soldier, if you reach a certain level and do not understand politics and economics, you will definitely be the scapegoat for problems. It can be said that Richard knows the way of being an official, and he is already thinking about his gains and losses if Bao Zixuan gets a military license.

Richard: "The climate is very good along the way from Xiangjiang to Argentina, and there are no places with particularly high or low temperatures. Therefore, subsequent tests can wait until after the war is over, and I believe it won't take long."

This sentence fully demonstrates his confidence. If as a general, he feels that the British Empire cannot deal with Argentina, then there is no need to continue fighting and just admit defeat.

It can be said that the entire UK now shares the same hatred and is ready to teach the Argentines a lesson. As a senior military general, he will not give in.

Bao Zixuan: "It seems that General Richard is very confident and is worthy of being an elite in the army. However, even brave soldiers must have weapons at their disposal to defeat the enemy, and soldiers are so quick that they cannot tolerate any delay."

Of course Richard knew what Bao Zixuan meant, but he didn't dare to admit anything to him easily. If he can't fulfill it then, he will be under a lot of pressure.

The most important thing is that Bao Zixuan is not easy to mess with, and the cost of fooling him is too high. It was so high that Richard didn’t even dare to have such an idea, let alone execute it.

Governor Youde: "Sheng Bao, regarding the military license, we will apply to the country for the military license. Please rest assured. No matter what, I will try my best to fight for you. But after the domestic approval, when will the Xiangjiang Monster be allowed to carry out strategic transportation?" Task."

Bao Zixuan: "In about a week, although I dare to produce the Xiangjiang monster in advance, it is only used as a general transportation vehicle. Even if no one places an order, I can finish it myself, and there will be no loss at all. But I want to execute it Strategic transportation missions must have weapons systems, and aircraft must have self-protection capabilities.”

"If it is really installed, it can only be sold to the military of various countries. If no one pays for it, the product will be lost. Even if you don't dare to use it yourself, and now Heiyun does not have military qualifications, it rashly produces weapons and equipment. There is no difference between seeking death."

After listening to Bao Zixuan's words, neither of them knew what to say. After all, the richest man in Hong Kong just wants the military license. It seems that it will be difficult to get through without doing things for him. It is estimated that the Heiyun Group will act uncooperatively. After all, without the people from the Heiyun Group at this time, it would be difficult for the Xiangjiang monster to drive away, let alone perform a strategic transportation mission.

Bao Zixuan also thought about finding a small country in the Middle East or Africa to register a company. Obtaining a military industry license from a small country would be a piece of cake for Heiyun at this time. However, there are still no reasonable procedures for developing weapons and equipment in Hong Kong. When the time comes, the talent and resources will be If you can't keep up, you'll have trouble moving forward.

Xiangjiang and the mainland are separated by a strip of water. If there is any problem, China will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. It will be helpless in other places. After all, the national strength does not allow for help.

Therefore, when Bao Zixuan was not strong enough to make everyone fear him, he could only develop in Xiangjiang with peace of mind. After all, the Chinese government was watching here, and the British did not dare to go too far. As for the United States and the Soviet Union, they will not come here to develop their power. The competition between two permanent members of the Security Council has made the situation in this tiny place like Xiangjiang very complicated. If they don't come here to join in the fun, they will suffer heavy losses. After all, their strength in Xiangjiang is not as deep-rooted as that of Britain and China.
