Ruan Shengpeng coughed and said, "He is my future son-in-law!"
“Your son-in-law? Why didn’t Commander Ruan say so sooner? Come, let’s talk to him about coming to our military region to take up a post. There’s no problem with him managing all the vehicles.”
Old Li nodded in agreement: "If he takes charge, I'll definitely be his assistant and keep those other bastards from causing trouble!"
After Old Li and Commander Dou finished speaking, they looked at Xiao Gengwu eagerly, but Xiao Gengwu still shook his head: "No!"
They turned to look at Ruan Shengpeng. The fiancé explained that since his daughter hadn't married into the family yet, she would definitely obey her father-in-law unconditionally. Commander Dou tugged at Ruan Shengpeng: "Commander Ruan, show off your father-in-law's power!"
Ruan Shengpeng shook his head again: "Even if I agree, he won't come!"
"If your father-in-law has no power, how will he protect his daughter in the future?" Commander Dou quickly stirred up trouble.
Just as Ruan Shengpeng was about to speak, a deputy division commander ran over: "Commander, Commander, what are you doing here? We've tested this gun, we tested a whole box of bullets."
"It has a much longer range, is very lightweight, yet holds a lot more bullets, and is quick to reload! In the future, the magazines can be made bigger so our soldiers can have more protection!"
It's common for soldiers to get headshot while reloading. Now that the reload time is shorter and the number of bullets that can be loaded has increased, this is a double protection.
Commander Dou picked up the pistol and weighed it in his hand: "Much lighter, not as heavy."
After saying that, he quickly disassembled the pistol and noticed that the bullet compartment was much larger. He immediately asked, "Who brought this to test?"
"That she-devil, no, it was taken by He Jiayin!"
"He Jiayin? Where did she get this pistol? Go and ask her!"
The deputy division commander took out another small device and attached it: "Commander, there's this thing I haven't told you about yet. It's a really good thing; it makes no sound when you fire a bullet!"
Commander Dou was now truly unsettled: "Really no sound? Really no sound?"
The deputy division commander nodded repeatedly: "This is a great help in completing the mission!"
Commander Dou disregarded the issue of vehicles: "Go and call He Jiayin over now, and ask her who did this!"
He Jiale sneered: "My sister is away on a business trip, and you can't find her either. You might as well ask me who did it!"
Commander Dou knew that He Jiayin's status was different now, and finding her wouldn't be easy: "Young man, who do you think did this?"
He Jiale was somewhat smug: "The person who made the pistol is right under our noses, though far away!"
Commander Dou was somewhat incredulous: "You did this?"
He Jiale pointed at Xiao Gengwu: "My main force is Brother Xiao, and he and I are just his assistants!"
Commander Dou was deeply shocked and nudged Ruan Shengpeng with his elbow: "Let him work in our military region. If he doesn't come, I won't marry my daughter to him!"
Ruan Shengpeng pushed his hand away: "If I don't marry my daughter to him, will you marry your daughter to him?"
Commander Dou: "..." If his daughter were suitable, he would definitely try his best, but his daughter is almost a mother-in-law! Such an outstanding person, why isn't she part of his family?
This kid is so outstanding, it would be too painful not to seduce him. After thinking about it, he still didn't want to let this talent slip away: "Xiao, right? Tell me how you can come work in our military region?"
Xiao Gengwu shook his head again: "No, I still need to study!"
"Studying? Which school do you go to?" After asking, Commander Dou remembered that his leader had mentioned that his son had been admitted to the firearms major at Huada University. Could the three of them be in the same major?
He probed, "Are all three of you majoring in firearms? At the University of Washington?"
He Jiale nodded: "The three of us are in the same major, classmates!"
Commander Dou dared not even dream of it now. Firearms specialists wouldn't come to his area. He sighed, "Can this gun be mass-produced?"
It doesn't matter if people don't come, as long as the guns can be generated. It's just a matter of a fuel-efficient car: "Since you have some free time, could you help me modify the car?"
Xiao Gengwu didn't hold back: "Why don't you find a mechanic? I'll explain the key points to him and let him modify the vehicle!"
"You're willing to teach your skills to others?" Commander Dou's voice was so loud it was almost hoarse. Modifying vehicles to make them more fuel-efficient—this kind of skill couldn't be learned for any amount of money, yet he was going to teach it to someone else!
"How much compensation do you want?" Commander Dou pondered in his mind, wondering where he could find the money to pay this kid.
Xiao Gengwu shook his head: "It's free, no need for your money. If we're talking about credit, it should go to Uncle Ruan!"
Now Commander Dou was filled with envy; he was absolutely sour. How could Ruan Shengpeng be so lucky? Why didn't any of his own nephews or nieces have such extraordinary talent?
He gave Ruan Shengpeng a resentful look: "When your daughter gets married in the future, you'll have to treat the entire military region to a meal!"
Ruan Shengpeng wasn't having any of it: "The whole military region? Do you dare? I don't want to be criticized! It's already this late, we need to go eat, they have to go back to school this afternoon!"
"Can they drive this vehicle back?"
Commander Dou pretended not to hear this and was about to walk away quickly, but Ruan Shengpeng grabbed his arm: "He said it's free, you can't just let him work for free and give them the car to drive."
"At worst, we can get out of the car and have him assemble one for you!"
Seeing that he couldn't leave, Commander Dou had no choice but to bargain, holding out his palm and flipping it over: "Ten vehicles!"
Ruan Shengpeng rolled his eyes at him: "Then why don't you let me rob it? Besides, do you even have that much scrap metal? This car was made from the scrap metal of three other cars!"
Old Li timidly chimed in from the side, "There should be two. We've been coming here to get parts for a while now, and we've dismantled a lot of them, so they're not all complete!"
"Even if it's just two cars, it would take 20 cars to turn into scrap metal. Do you think we have that much scrap metal right now?"
Commander Dou thought about it and realized there wasn't any. He would have to go to other units to persuade them to come over and let them know that scrap metal could be turned into cars, and that there was no scrap metal to be found anywhere!
"Well..." Before Commander Dou could finish speaking, Xiao Gengwu interrupted him: "I can only load two at most, I won't load more than that!"
He doesn't want to do repetitive things multiple times; repeating it twice is already the limit!
Seeing Xiao Gengwu's resolute words, Commander Dou sighed inwardly: "Why don't you teach the soldiers who repair cars?"
“I can teach him, but there are so many parts in this car, can he remember them all?” If Xiao Gengwu didn’t have an exceptional memory, he wouldn’t have been able to fake it so quickly.
Commander Dou hesitated. He could guarantee that his soldiers were tough and resilient, but he couldn't guarantee their memory. It seemed that this approach wouldn't work: "Two trucks it is, you can drive this one back!"
"Wait until I gather all the materials before you come and assemble it!"
Xiao Gengwu readily agreed; he was genuinely hungry: "Let's go eat!"
