Chapter 222 Call Me Grandpa
At Ren Shiyou's command, the guard beside him made a hand gesture.
Suddenly, a deafening roar like thunder resounded between heaven and earth, followed by a cloud of dust flying everywhere.
The first shot was aimed at a 1-meter-thick steel plate at a distance of 500 meters. Wherever the shell hit, the steel plate was pierced through like a walnut shell.
Lin Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Yiye quietly held his wife's hand and whispered, "I knew it would work. I've always had 100% confidence in you."
General Ren smiled modestly, thinking how outstanding his granddaughter-in-law was.
The second firing test, targeting a thick steel plate at a distance of 1000 meters, made everyone present hold their breath. Ren Guochang's chief of staff, however, expressed his disagreement, saying:
"Old Ren, the world's longest-range tank gun is only 800 meters. Can this one reach 1000 meters?"
Ren Guochang smiled but didn't say anything.
With just a gesture to fire, everyone present held their breath, watching expectantly as the steel plate appeared 1,000 meters away.
If successful, then China will possess the world's most powerful and longest-range tank gun.
After successfully completing the 500-meter race, Lin Shanshan was no longer nervous and thought to herself: What's 1000 meters? I can even reach 1500 meters.
Yesterday, she had her third uncle test the distances of 500, 1000, and 1500 meters. Lin Shanshan knew very well that as long as she could fire, the 1500-meter distance would be no problem at all.
"Boom..."
As the shell landed, Ren Shiyou hurriedly picked up his binoculars to check the results. After seeing them, he no longer smiled but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Excellent, it's done! Our China now possesses the best land power. From now on, we will be invincible on the land battlefield!"
As the dominant force on land, tank guns possess exceptionally strong defensive capabilities, making them virtually indestructible; ordinary bombs are completely ineffective against them.
Secondly, tank guns can sweep across the battlefield. If both sides have tank guns, then range becomes the decisive factor.
You can only shoot 800 meters, but I can shoot 1000 meters. What does that mean?!
To put it simply, imagine a tall person who is 1.8 meters tall putting their hand on the head of a short person who is 1.5 meters tall. The short person waves their hands, but they can't hit the tall person.
All the officers in the room had a triumphant look on their faces!
In the past, battles were fought with crude guns and cannons against well-equipped weapons. People would even carry backpacks and sacrifice themselves to blow up bunkers or block machine guns with their own bodies. Now, at least we don't have to risk our lives for victory.
[Author's Note: Thanks to the martyrs who sacrificed themselves for the cause, we enjoy peace and prosperity today!]
Most of the officers here have experienced the brutality of war and fully understand how many young lives this tank gun can save on the battlefield!
Ren Shiyou, unaware that there was still 1500 meters to go in the test, put down his binoculars and walked happily toward Lin Shanshan, praising her, "Good girl, what reward do you want?"
Lin Shanshan turned around and waved her hand, saying, "Chief, this is what every Chinese person should do."
Ren Shiyou frowned and said, "You're not one of my soldiers, why are you calling me 'commander'? Call me 'grandpa' instead."
Gu Yiye didn't want to be treated specially in the army, and no one knew that he was Ren Shiyou's eldest grandson.
It's fine for Lin Shanshan to call him "Grandpa," even though she and Gu Yiye stand together very intimately, looking like a married couple.
If it weren't specifically stated that Lin Shanshan was Ren Shiyou's granddaughter-in-law, people might assume that the old general admired this girl who designed tank cannons.
Making her call him "Grandpa" is a sign of appreciation from an elder, and usually people wouldn't think much of it.
However, Gu Yiye and Ren Guochang look very similar, and he also looks a bit like Ren Shiyou. Usually, the three of them don't get together.
Today, as people gathered together, the more they looked at him, the more they suspected he was the same person. Ren Shiyou even had Gu Yiye's wife call him "Grandpa," which only fueled their speculation.
Lin Shanshan quickly realized what was going on.
Grandpa Ren's most beloved eldest son actually has an heir and has been recognized. Moreover, Gu Yiye is so outstanding, how could he not let others know?
It's like having the world's best treasure or receiving a great honor and wanting to show it off.
Lin Shanshan was only half right. General Ren did want everyone to know that Gu Yiye was his grandson, and he also wanted everyone to know that she, Lin Shanshan, was his granddaughter-in-law.
