What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?
That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.
Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...
Liu Yinyin nodded: "Yes, that's true!"
"Contact Chu Peng, the CEO of Galaxy Technology Company, immediately and convey my thoughts, and then express our wishes to the capital!" Zhao Ye instructed.
“Yes, Chairman Zhao!” Liu Yinyin replied.
That afternoon, Liu Yinyin contacted Chu Peng. Chu Peng was shocked to hear that his boss was planning to let Galaxy Technology Company get involved in the military industry, but then he was filled with excitement. He talked with Liu Yinyin for a long time, and then called a meeting with the senior management of Galaxy Technology Company to unify their thinking and formulate a strategy and plan.
A week later, everything was ready.
They need to come up with a complete and feasible plan before they can apply to the government.
After the plan was written, Chu Peng first sent it to Zhao Ye. If his boss thought it was okay, then he would send it to the government.
Zhao Ye spent an entire night reading the more than ten-page proposal. The content essentially outlined the advantages Galaxy Technology Company possessed in developing military products. It argued that if Galaxy Technology Company were to enter the military field, it could become China's Boeing, Raytheon Technologies, or Lockheed Martin in the future…
In fact, Galaxy Arms Manufacturing Company is a military enterprise, but the weapons it produces are all light weapons, mainly some advanced firearms and ammunition.
In modern warfare, the role of small arms has been greatly reduced.
For example, if two countries are in conflict, and one side has advanced weaponry and can launch multiple missile strikes to bombard the enemy's ground and directly destroy the enemy's military bases, then the war can basically be declared over.
...
The leaders were in a dilemma; they had been discussing the proposal sent by Galaxy Technology for a long time.
"This does not meet the requirements! A private company wants to produce fighter jets, bombers, and missiles. This poses a huge hidden danger and may threaten national security!" Some leaders, who are more conservative, expressed their opposition.
However, some leaders expressed their support: "I don't believe Galaxy Technology will threaten national security! On the contrary, by allowing Galaxy Technology to enter the military industry, our military can acquire the world's most advanced fighter jets, bombers, and missiles... Only then can our national security be guaranteed! Which of foreign companies like Boeing, Raytheon Technologies, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan, and Rheinmetall of Germany isn't a private enterprise? If we don't have an open and inclusive mindset, how can we quickly catch up with foreign countries?"
As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted in the conference room.
Clearly, most people still support Galaxy Technologies' plan to enter the military industry.
At the end of the meeting, everyone decided to vote.
Soon, the supporters won by an overwhelming majority.
The following morning, leaders from the capital personally contacted Zhao Ye to express the nation's stance.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye was overjoyed and repeatedly assured his superiors that he would not let the country down. Galaxy Technology Company would invest heavily in developing world-class military products.
Although the investment may be quite large, Zhao Ye is now so poor that all he has left is money.
Furthermore, many of the technologies used to develop military products can also be applied to civilian use.
From this perspective, it's not a loss.
Boeing also transitioned from military to civilian use, developing civilian aircraft.
...
Although Galaxy Technology did not publicly announce its entry into the military industry, it did not hide it much either.
If someone is determined, they can still find out information.
Galaxy Technologies has always been under the spotlight of the West, and it would be difficult to conceal such a significant matter as entering the military industry.
In fact, Galaxy Technology has already begun recruiting and bringing in foreign talent.
Many military experts and engineers received calls from Galaxy Technology Company.
Many people were tempted by the high compensation offered by Galaxy Technology Company.
In a short time, more and more talents in the military industry joined Galaxy Technology Company.
It's not hard to deduce that some of these people might be corporate spies from other companies, but Galaxy Technology is not afraid of spies and has its own methods for preventing corporate espionage.
Even if some information is leaked, it is mostly unimportant content.
In fact, even if you were given complete information in modern cutting-edge fields, you might not be able to build it. It involves many things, including special materials, production equipment, manufacturing processes, and so on.
At 3 p.m. on September 10, Zhao Ye arrived at Galaxy Technology Company and convened a meeting with senior executives. At the meeting, Zhao Ye stated that $100 billion would be allocated directly for the development of drones, fighter jets, bombers, missiles, artillery, radar, and so on.
These military products are a perfect match for Galaxy Technology's technology, and are exactly Galaxy Technology's strengths.
Galaxy Technologies doesn't lack the ability to produce them; rather, it chooses not to. For example, missiles are essentially rockets, and the vast majority of missiles are propelled by rocket engines.
Rockets that launch artificial satellites and spacecraft are also controllable, so using the technology stored up by Galaxy Technologies to develop missiles is naturally not a problem.
It can only be said that Galaxy Technology has the potential to become a military industry giant!
