172: If you destroy the Eagle Sauce, won’t the Chicken in the Basin call you daddy?

"Mr. Bai, should I stop the car?" Bai Jie's assistant asked urgently.

Bai Jie's mouth twitched: "Are you f***ing crazy? How many lives do you have to dare to stop a military vehicle!"

"But..."

"There are no 'buts.' I don't believe there's a cat in Dragon Xia that doesn't steal fish." Bai Jie said, turning his head to leave.

Wang Jiawei watched the departing figures of Bai Jie and his group, the corners of his mouth lifting. He had won this round.

Qinchuan City, Julong Steel.

Lu Shenwei returned to his office, and before he could even warm his seat, calls from Gu Ming and Chen Guang came in simultaneously.

"Hello, Director Gu!"

Lu Shenwei held the red desk phone in his left hand and grabbed his mobile phone with his right to reply to Chen Guang: "Hello, Leader."

"Where are the large drones your factory just built? How many are left? Never mind, I'll come to Qinchuan in two days."

"Little Lu, I heard Julong Steel has tinkered with a new product again. I'll arrive tomorrow."

"Alright, Leader, I'll be sure to have it ready for you." Lu Shenwei gave a perfunctory reply and hung up the phone.

Ma Quanlin asked: "Didn't you say the prototype of our Double Bone Dragon was requisitioned by the Air Force? If the Navy and Army come, what will we use to answer them?"

"Answer? Let them go ask the Air Force!" Lu Shenwei said nonchalantly.

When the immortals fight in the sky, can a mere mortal like him do anything about it?

"If we expand the production line now, how long will it take to build and start production?"

Ma Quanlin thought for a moment: "If we spare no expense to add two production lines, we can definitely start production in January next year."

"With three production lines working in three shifts, we can produce at least 150 Double Bone Dragons per month, which should satisfy the requirements of the Navy, Army, and Air Force." Lu Shenwei muttered.

Ma Quanlin pondered: "I'm just worried the workers won't be able to handle it. After all, this is high-precision equipment production, which is different from us making agricultural vehicles."

High-precision equipment production has extremely strict requirements for dust-free workshops and quality control, and also requires a high level of proficiency from the workers operating the machines.

"The Air Force probably has the highest demand for equipment, so let's schedule production first; we can't afford to drag this out." Lu Shenwei said.

Zhou Cun suddenly interjected: "Chairman, what about Nifeng Express? They have already paid in full."

"Just drag it out for now. We only said we'd schedule production as soon as possible; we didn't give a specific delivery date."

Sorry, Mr. Wang, military use takes precedence over civilian use. You'll just have to wait a couple of days.

Julong Steel began working overtime to ramp up production, with the entire factory working in unison.

"Why are we suddenly working overtime again? Didn't the factory director say last week that we could rest for a few days?"

"What are you blabbering about? Old Ma just increased the salary grade for our Aerospace Manufacturing Department. Have you made too much money, kid?"

"I heard Director Lu got us another big order. We're going to be working hard for half a year."

"Half a year? Can my old waist handle that?"

"If you can't handle it, let me do it. I won't complain about triple pay."

"Go away, I was just saying it casually. Who wouldn't want triple pay!"

"I see the foundation for the apartment building in the east factory area has already been laid. It will definitely be topped out by the end of next year."

"We won't have to wait until the end of the year. It will be topped out and handed over by June at the earliest."

"That's great, we'll have new houses to live in."

"If you hang out with Old Ma, you'll go hungry nine times in three days; if you hang out with Director Lu, you'll eat nine times in one day."

The workers at Julong Steel were working enthusiastically to build the Double Bone Dragon production line, while on the internet, there was little discussion about the Double Bone Dragon large unmanned transport aircraft.

Brother Qi's livestream room.

【Brother Qi, why were you suddenly banned two days ago?】

【Must have violated the rules. Just don't know why. Good thing you're back now.】

【I saw other viewers saying that several streamers' rooms had issues. It might be related to Julong Steel's large drone.】

"Ahem, let's not talk about that for now. Do you remember the time the livestream was suddenly interrupted?"

【Last time? The time Brother Qi was suddenly called away?】

【Wasn't it because you had to cook for your wife and were forced to interrupt the stream?】

【LMAO, Brother Qi doesn't seem to have a wife!】

"Regarding the interruption of the livestream last time, I can talk about it now. Everyone should know that Japan was causing trouble in the South Frontier Sea Area." Brother Qi said with an awkward laugh, changing the subject.

【Japan? Do they think their lives are too long?】

【Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force isn't that strong. Our South Frontier fleet alone could wipe out their entire Maritime Self-Defense Force.】

"According to news from my informant, our guangyu silent was intercepted by a joint fleet of Japan and the Eagle Country in the South Frontier Sea Area. The situation was very dangerous at the time."

【Really? I can understand the Eagle Country daring to block us, but how does Japan dare? Are they like the God of Longevity eating arsenic—tired of living?】

【Because they have a godfather backing them. Our ancestors said, "A small country that does not act humble, and a weak force that does not fear the strong, is courting death!"】

【Brother Qi, hurry up and tell us, what was the result? Was it evenly matched?】

【Given the current level of our Long Xia Navy, we are only fifty-fifty with the Eagle Country in coastal waters.】

Brother Qi smiled: "Fifty-fifty is a thing of the past. Now, a single one of our large destroyers can crush the entire Eagle Country aircraft carrier fleet!"

【Holy crap, you're not joking, right? A single one?】

【The 055 ten-thousand-ton destroyer? Is the combat power that strong?】

【Did they open fire? Why can't I see any news on Twitter?】

"Opening fire is, of course, impossible. After all, this is the time to compare both sides' 'strategic endurance.' The one who survives until the end is the winner." Brother Qi said seriously.

【That term 'strategic endurance' is used well. The Eagle Country is frantically stirring up trouble around our borders. Whoever can't help but open fire first loses.】

【In the past, we were the ones shouting about playing the long game, how did the Eagle Country learn to play the long game now?】

【The Eagle Country is getting slapped in the face by the Slipper Army over in the Desert Camel region. Do you see them daring to move?】

【If you ask me, if Big Mao and Second Mao fight for another hundred years, our Dragon Xia will be completely rejuvenated!】

Looking at the viewers' comments, Brother Qi laughed and said: "They didn't open fire, but the fire-control radar didn't stop."

【Holy crap! They even turned on the fire-control radar? The Eagle Country can still tolerate this? Is this still the Eagle Country I know?】

【Back then, they destroyed a country with a bag of laundry powder; now, they're being targeted by fire-control radar and don't even dare to fart.】

"Believe that the official side will release specific news soon. Everyone, stay tuned." Brother Qi said.

【If you ask me, screwing over the Eagle Country isn't as satisfying as screwing over Japan. When are we going to finish off Japan?】

【Japan is just meat by our mouths; what's the point in messing with them? As long as we cripple their godfather, won't Japan kneel and call us Daddy?】

【Don't, we don't have such unfilial descendants.】

Some were happy while others were sad. Compared to the optimism of the Dragon Xia viewers, the generals at the Pentagon were full of sorrow.

"General Wilson, the Pentagon needs an explanation as to why the powerful Shetuan Hao Aircraft Carrier battle group was scared off by a single Dragon Xia destroyer." The congressman questioned coldly.

Wilson, wearing three stars on his shoulders, said angrily: "Damn it! You should ask our detestable military-industrial complex, ask Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Company; the radar they manufactured simply cannot detect Dragon Xia warships."
