"Xiao Wan! Even Harbin can't do it, do you really want to use Hyundai as a bodyguard?"
The Four Heavenly Kings are the treasures of the navy and are used for household purposes.
"You guys are out of touch with the times, aren't you? An aircraft carrier takes ten years to enter service, so our destroyers can't remain stagnant for another ten years, right? According to our usual shipbuilding approach, since we've already started construction on the 052 class, I think we should have the 052C in ten years, right? Maybe the 052D will be ready soon, too."
The soldiers looked at each other, and even the naval generals knew what 052C and 052D looked like.
Not to mention that even the 701 Institute that designed the 052 class may not know what the 052CD is.
This requires Wan Feng to give them some scientific knowledge.
"The 052CD must have an active phased array radar with vertical launch, which is what a warship should look like."
Active phased array radar and vertical launch?
These two things are a little unfamiliar to these veterans.
There are always people who feel unhappy when they see Wan Feng speaking eloquently on the platform.
"Old Zhu, did you introduce this young man here?"
"Lao He! What do you think?"
"Is it proper for a bunch of us old guys to sit here and listen to a young guy's boasting? What does he know?"
Zhu Guoxiong laughed heartily.
"Old He! It seems you don't know anything about this person. His ideas are very strange. I know you can't understand them. Are you interested in hearing a few stories about him?"
"Go ahead! It's better than just listening to him brag."
Zhu Guoxiong collected his thoughts.
"I remember the first time I met this guy was in 1987, I think it was in the summer. He sent someone... that guy."
Zhu Guoxiong pointed at Han Guangjia, who was sitting in the corner of the room with his hands folded on his chest and his head lowered, seemingly dozing off.
"Him? What happened to him?"
"He came to our military district and asked if we wanted a T72."
"Him? Can he enter your military region?" Lao He looked unconvinced.
"You look down on him? Do you know what he used to do? He has a lot of first-class merits. If he hadn't been injured and asked to return to his hometown, he would have been a major general at least now."
Zhu Guoxiong's voice sounded a bit sad when he said this.
Old He was surprised: "So powerful? How old is he? He looks like he's only in his thirties now, right?"
Zhu Guoxiong took a deep breath. "Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's continue with the story. This guy asked us if we wanted a T72. If he didn't have a combat hero certificate, I would have arrested him and put him in jail. He tricked us into coming to the military district."
"And then?"
"This guy not only told me they had T72, but also said they had special steel. So I sent three people over to take a look. At that time, our steel was not up to standard, and we urgently needed good special steel."
"It's needed now." Mr. He interjected.
"We now have Anshan Iron and Steel and Baosteel that can produce specialty steel. Do you know where Anshan Iron and Steel's specialty steel comes from? I'll talk about that later. That autumn, when it seemed like it was going to freeze—oh! It's been so long I can't remember exactly—the three people I sent asked me to go to Longjiang, saying it was important, so I went. At a dock in a border county called Fuyuan in Longjiang, I saw T72 tanks and blueprints. The most amazing thing is that this guy not only got the tanks, but also picked up a boatload of soybeans and a boat. Who can I go to for justice on this matter?"
"A free ship? A shipload of soybeans? Old Zhu, you're kidding! Isn't this a T72?"
"The boat wasn't big. The Russians used it to load a load of soybeans, and buried the tanks in the soybeans. Oh, I remember, there was also an infantry fighting vehicle. The Russians brought the tanks and didn't even use the boat. They took a small boat back."
Lao He blinked more than ten times in a row. He didn't even want the boat and just went back. What kind of operation is this? Isn't this a spendthrift?
"The ship isn't important. What's important is that we got the T72 and spent very little money on it."
Zhu Guoxiong did not say how much money he spent. I don’t know if it was inconvenient to say or he just didn’t remember.
"In addition to the tanks, we also obtained a steady supply of steel, which was much cheaper than ordinary steel in China. But no matter how much steel we produced, it would eventually run out. I remember Xiao Wan said that he would definitely build a company that could produce special steel in the future."
"He built it?"
Zhu Guoxiong shook his head: "No!"
"Fuck! That's all for nothing."
"The reason they didn't build the steel plant wasn't because he couldn't do it, but because he was too lazy. He brought back a complete set of special steelmaking technology and some key equipment from Gongqingcheng, and then gave the project to the county. Since the county couldn't build it themselves, they partnered with Anshan Iron and Steel to build a special steel plant in Hongya."
Mr. He slapped his thigh and said, "Is that how the Bohai Hongya Special Steel Plant came about?"
"What do you think?"
"I was wondering why such an important unit was built in such a remote place. So this is what happened."
"This isn't over yet. It was around that time, either 1987 or 1988, when he said he would get us the Su-27, Hyundai, and Kilo. Do you think I believed him or not?"
He Lao thought for a long time and shook his head: "Most of it is disbelief."
"I didn't believe it at all, just like you do now. Although it wasn't entirely his personal responsibility to acquire these things later on, he played a role in it. Let's put it this way, whatever he said, whether you believe it or not, has come true anyway."
Mr. He was surprised: "So magical?"
"The most amazing thing was the Gulf War. Before the Gulf War, I think this was in 1988, he described to me how modern warfare was fought. At that time, the Gulf War hadn't happened yet, and our combat was still based on artillery bombardments and soldiers charging. But he described another way of fighting, mechanized and electronic. I didn't take it seriously at the time. I thought it was something out of a myth. Then the Gulf War broke out, and I was dumbfounded! What happened in the Gulf War was not exactly the same as his description, but it was pretty close. This is a big reason why we attach so much importance to electronics now."
Old He took a deep breath. He could even describe the war. Isn't he a god?
"Hey! He has so many stories. I'm only talking about the ones that are related to us. What about the ones that are not related to us? Have you seen this?"
Zhu Guoxiong took a mobile phone from his waist and showed it off in front of Mr. He.
"This was made by their company. It beat out Ruidian's competitor, Ailixin. Isn't that impressive?"
"Let me see!"
"Take a look? What if you can't take it out of your eyes?" Zhu Guoxiong quickly put away his phone.
This was something he had earned by accumulating wealth, and he absolutely could not let anyone else take it away from him.
