173: Eagle Sauce: The Longxia battleship turns on fire control, and we are like stupid geese!

"Are you kidding me? The performance of Dragon Xia's Renhai-class destroyer is far below our Great Eagle Sauce's zhum warship. Don't make excuses for your own incompetence!" the congressman said aggressively.

Wolsen said angrily: "Dragon Xia's Renhai-class destroyer possesses the most advanced avionics and stealth systems. When their fire control radar illuminates our aircraft carrier, our radar is as stupid as a clueless goose; we can't detect them at all."

Several congressmen in charge of the review gathered together to whisper for a moment, then let Wolsen leave.

The same situation also occurred at the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force command center, although the divisional commanders of Japan were calmer.

"The intelligence that the Navy idiots risked their lives to exchange for shows that Dragon Xia has already developed a brand-new stealth coating. We need to acquire it."

"Hai! The warriors of the Army Tokko will complete the mission!"

"Tokko? Learn from the lessons. If hard tactics don't work, we can try soft ones. No country is without spineless people."

The next day, before Lu Shenwei had fully woken up, he received news that the Eagle Sauce Defense Department was holding a press conference.

"What the hell? Reprimanding us for irregular navigation in our own South Frontier Sea Area? Violating freedom of navigation?"

It really is shameless. You've run to my doorstep to scold me, and I can't even set up a slingshot to scare you?

"Chairman, Chen Guang and the others will be here soon."

Zhou Cun notified Lu Shenwei over the phone. Lu Shenwei glanced at his watch: "There's enough time."

He unhurriedly put on his pants, his mind busy thinking about how to explain to Chen Guang that the Air Force had already taken away the Double Bone Dragon prototype.

"It's a good thing Chen Guang and Gu Ming staggered their times, otherwise they would definitely have gotten into a fight."

Just as Lu Shenwei was muttering to himself, Zhou Cun's call came in again.

"Don't rush me, I'm brushing my teeth."

He heard Zhou Cun whispering in the receiver: "Chairman, please hurry over. Director Gu has also arrived, and the atmosphere is a bit awkward."

What? Gu Ming has arrived too? Didn't he say in two days?

It's over. Enemies are extra jealous when they meet; I hope they don't start fighting.

Before he could give instructions to Zhou Cun, he heard them arguing on the other end of the phone.

"Gu Ming, let me tell you, I've set my heart on the Shuang Gu Long Unmanned Aerial Vehicle today! It doesn't matter who comes, I've made up my mind!"

Gu Ming stood up and persuaded him: "Old Chen, don't be so agitated. This is all official business; let's not mix in personal feelings."

"I think you're doing this on purpose. You fought with me over a girlfriend, you fought with me over military merit, last time you fought with me over the [Liuguang] stealth coating, and this time you want to fight with me over the Shuang Gu Long Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Why, have you become addicted to stealing things from me?"

Chen Guang was furious. In the new year's military budget, the Air Force got new planes, and the Navy wanted to continue spending money to build large warships.

What does the Army have? Brand new marching boots?

What about the promised 99G tank upgrade? None!

What about the new multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle? None!

Every time I ask, the military budget has been given to the Air Force and the Navy. Does the Army not need to develop?

"Don't get agitated. We can discuss this. At worst, our Navy can wait a bit."

Gu Ming knew he was in the wrong and had to take a step back.

"That sounds more like human speech," Chen Guang said with a dark face.

But after Lu Shenwei arrived, both of them were dumbfounded.

What does this mean? The Air Force has already made a move?

"Little Lu, the Navy helped you apply for the flight path for the Double Bone Dragon test flight. How could you give the prototype to the Air Force?" Gu Ming questioned.

"The flight path application records were incomplete, and I even received a disciplinary action for it. Is this how you treat me?"

"Exactly. How much support did the Air Force give you? Don't forget that last time you bought local specialties from the Maoxiong, it was me who notified them to let you through when you couldn't get past customs."

Lu Shenwei smiled bitterly: "The two leaders are right, but how could I resist the Air Force Equipment Department? However, please rest assured, as soon as the new batch of Shuang Gu Long Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is produced, I will definitely arrange it for both of your organizations first."

"Not both. First the Army, then the Navy," Chen Guang reminded him.

Huh?

Lu Shenwei swept a glance at Gu Ming, seeing that the latter did not speak.

"Fine, fine, fine. I will definitely prioritize the Army. Just tell me how many you want."

Chen Guang laughed: "Hehehe, that's more like it. Give us fifty first to test the waters. Whatever money the Air Force gives you, our Army won't give any less."

Lu Shenwei turned to look at Gu Ming: "How many does Director Gu want?"

"As for us, let's start with fifty as well."

Gu Ming thought for a moment and then added: "It would be best if the wings could fold, to make it easier to load onto ships."

"Hmm, this will need some modifications, but it won't take long," Lu Shenwei pondered.

After much persuasion, he finally pacified the two.

"Don't be in such a rush to leave at noon; let's have a simple meal before you go."

Chen Guang glared at Gu Ming: "Eat with him? Bad luck. Let's go. Someday you come to the Army camp, and I'll treat you to a drink."

"I have a mission too, I have to leave at noon," Gu Ming said helplessly.

Lu Shenwei didn't insist, and finally saw them off near 11 o'clock.

Just as Lu Shenwei was about to catch his breath, he heard Zhou Cun say: "Chairman, Director Ma said Two Artillery called."

"Two Artillery? What did they say?"

"They said they want 100 Shuang Gu Long Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, preferably delivered within three months."

With too many lice, you don't fear the itch. Lu Shenwei said gloomily: "Fine, fine, fine. They are all big shots; we can't afford to offend them."

The production task is too heavy; I must give the workers a reminder.

"Tell Director Ma to hold an all-factory meeting in two days to tighten the screws for everyone, and by the way, mention the year-end bonus and next year's housing."

"Also, help me call the Finance Officer over."

Zhou Cun nodded and left. A moment later, the young Finance Officer entered the room.

"How much money is currently in the account?"

"There is still 5.8 billion in available liquid currency funds. The steel mill's cash flow is generally looking good, especially after our Shuang Gu Long Unmanned Aerial Vehicle came off the production line," the young Finance Officer said.

Lu Shenwei frowned: "Why is it so little? Is it not enough to reach 10 billion?"

"Didn't we donate a large sum to the disaster area in Yu Zhong last time? Also, the recall of the longmao agricultural vehicle cost quite a bit," the Finance Officer explained.

"You also had me put 1 billion in a bank deposit, which adds up to 6.8 billion."

6.8 billion? That's still not enough. We are still 3.2 billion short to redeem the Artificial Sun.

"Is there any way for us to earn 3 billion in half a year?" Lu Shenwei asked.

The Finance Officer pondered: "Your decisive move to buy 600 million worth of Nifeng Express stock was very high-level. Currently, the stock has cashed out a total of 270 million."

"Don't think about stocks. This time we had inside information," Lu Shenwei rejected.

Speculating on stocks is fine, but long-term holding is not Lu Shenwei's strong suit.

"The asset allocation with the lowest risk is only large-denomination certificates of deposit. What do you think?"

"Certificates of deposit it is then. Deposit 4 billion first, and keep 1.8 billion in liquid funds on the books."

At this rate of making money, it is estimated that we won't save enough 10 billion until the end of next year.

"Don't forget to set aside 10% of the profits to distribute to everyone at the end of the year. The work has been heavy recently, so benefits and treatment must keep up," Lu Shenwei reminded.

"Okay, Chairman."

The young Finance Officer nodded. Sigh, Director Lu wants to save money but is also daring enough to spend it.

At this rate, who knows when Director Lu will save up 10 billion!
