We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Military to civilian? Are you kidding? If they don't allow us to join the army, we will force ourselves to join, or you will come and beg us to join.

While Welch was inspecting South Korea, Luo Nianzhong was not idle either. He went all the way north to Binhai, Liaoning Province.

At the end of January, less than a month away from the traditional Spring Festival, the Dalyan Shipyard in Binhai was on high alert and ready for action.

Although the atmosphere was tense, the workers' faces showed pride and joy.

Just over a month ago, Dalyan Shipyard officially approved the reform plan.

The military industry was divested and the company focused all its efforts on the production of civilian ships. At the same time, it accepted foreign investment. The remaining 45% of shares were also assigned to the Liaoning Province for management. It will no longer be under the management of the higher authorities, which is equivalent to a downgrade out of thin air.

There's nothing much to say about the downgrade, but the fact that it suddenly became civilian use made the employees of the Dallion Shipyard who were assigned to it feel uncomfortable.

Even though the salary is higher, the glory is gone.

Over the past month, more than 10% of employees have submitted transfer requests.

Of course not with the factory. Now it is a private enterprise, you can leave if you want to. The factory can't control you even if it wants to. These reports are submitted to the relevant departments so that you can go to the military after leaving.

But today is different. Our private shipyard welcomed the visit of the Deputy Commander of the Navy and the head of the Equipment Department, and all the leaders from the province and city came.

This has given many people a glimmer of hope amidst the negative emotions during this period. Are you guys so great for staying in the military industry? Have you ever met such a great leader?

Look at us. Even if we have become civilians, we are still treasures of the higher-ups. Otherwise, why would they come to see us instead of you?

No matter what others think, the employees of Dallion Shipyard now all have this idea.

The port of Dallion Shipyard was under tighter security at this time, with three layers of soldiers standing guard all around. There were only a few people chatting next to the port.

"Why, Mr. Luo, aren't you going to say hello to your employees?"

"Forget it. They probably look at me with hatred now. After all, it was because of me that they were able to retire with honor."

From a military enterprise to a private enterprise, it is reasonable to say that you are retiring.

"Hahahaha." Luo Nianzhong's words made the other party laugh.

"How could they know Mr. Luo's good intentions? From today on, those people will love you as much as they hated you before, and they may even be proud of today's distribution."

Luo Nianzhong doesn’t care whether they like him or are proud of him. He doesn’t care even if these people resign. What he cares about is the development and influence of the Luo family.

"I really didn't expect that you would come back after only one year in the Equipment Department. What does this mean? It's just a secondment."

The person standing and chatting with Luo Nianzhong at the port was none other than Mr. He, who had negotiated with him and the big camel.

The two of them are old acquaintances and have worked together before, but they didn't expect to meet again this time.

"How did I come back? It's all thanks to you. The higher-ups felt that they needed an acquaintance to serve you well, so they transferred me back.

I guess I will be stuck in this position for the rest of my life."

Luo Nianzhong knew what he meant and smiled indifferently.

"Sometimes, real power is more important than anything else, and doing business doesn't necessarily mean you can't climb high enough."

Seeing that the other party had something to say, Luo Nianzhong walked away directly. The direction he went was exactly the direction where Vice Commander Zhang of the Navy and Minister Chen of the Equipment Department were coming from.

"Commander Zhang, Minister Chen, I never thought that just receiving a few small boats would alarm both of you."

"If these boats of Mr. Luo can be considered small boats, then I would be willing to come and take them over every day and even live here."

Vice President Zhang made a joke that brought the two parties closer together, and Minister Chen beside him also echoed him.

"Mr. Luo, according to you, you are now the major shareholder of the Dallion Shipyard. Why didn't you show up just now?"

"He, he is afraid that someone will hit him with a brick."

Mr. He, who came over, seemed to be still angry about what Luo Nianzhong said. He would mock him whenever he got the chance, leaving Luo Nianzhong with only a bitter smile.

Fortunately, the sound of a ship's whistle was heard at this time, and everyone turned their attention to the sea, where they saw a ship speeding towards the port.

"What a good thing! It's really fast."

The exact details were unknown, but Minister Chen was able to estimate the approximate speed of the ship based on his naked eyes and experience, and he couldn't help but sigh.

After that, everyone remained silent, just watching, until the ship stopped and then they all walked up to it.

"Master." The tall and straight man who came down first was Liang Yong.

"What about the rest?"

"I have arranged for those polar bear scientists to arrive in two days, along with the rest of the ships. This one was brought here all the way from Vladivostok by our people."

He nodded to show that he understood, then waved his hand and asked Liang Yong to take the people downstairs to rest.

Why are so many senior executives gathered here today? Isn't it just for this ship?

1240 missile boat, codenamed Hurricane.

In the field of missile boats, whether the United States is willing to admit it or not, the polar bears are ahead of them.

The ship in front of us is the culmination of this era, but it is also the one that will be retired the fastest.

The reason why he is called the master of all trades is that the polar bear gave him all the best equipment he could get.

The maximum speed is 58 knots and the maximum range is 1500 nautical miles. If sailing at an economic speed, the maximum range can reach nautical miles.

Although it is not big, with a displacement of only 320 tons, the polar bear has armed it to the teeth in the limited space.

Its main firepower comes from two sets of twin P-120 "Malachite" anti-ship missiles installed on both sides. This is a top-of-the-line anti-ship missile that has never been sold by the Polar Bear or even Russia.

Depending on the warhead, the range is 70 to 150 nautical miles, the maximum flight speed is 0.9 Mach, and it can also be loaded with walnuts.

Just one missile is enough to cause serious damage to small and medium-sized ships.

Two sets of SAM-14 air defense missiles, which are an advanced version of SAM-7. The Red Baby 7, developed by Rabbit based on SAM-5, has only been in service for a few years.

In addition, there is an AK-630, a 6-barrel 30mm close-in defense gun on board.

This gun and the measurement, control and fire control systems form the world's first close-in weapon defense system.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the Osa-M short-range air defense missile system on this ship. Whether it is a ship or a tank, this is the most advanced short-range air defense system in the world.

It's sad and lamentable, because it has too many functions, it is too difficult to operate, the cost of use is high, and it requires higher quality of the crew.

So this 1240 missile boat was thrown into the Black Sea Fleet after only two years of service since its debut in 1973. It has been abandoned since the early s and is now ready to be retired.

After Luo Nianzhong learned about this situation, he asked Liang Yong to arrange for the Pacific Fleet to take it back.

At first his purpose was simple, which was to go for the missile boat itself.

Because it was so fast, Luo Nianzhong planned to have the Dallion Shipyard copy it and make it into a customs patrol boat.

The economy in the south has recovered, but what is more serious is that smuggling has become rampant. The customs is now looking for fast patrol boats, and Luo Nianzhong went there based on this order.

But what he didn't expect was that people were too lazy to disassemble the weapons and just sent them to him intact.

Well, what is there to say? How can we miss such a godsend opportunity?

Dallion Shipyard has been converted to civilian use? Then I have to use force. Don't forget that the Luo family is one of the shareholders of the Baoli Group. How can this matter stump them?

So as soon as the report was submitted, the higher-ups agreed that Dallion Shipyard and Baoli would cooperate to establish Luwu Equipment R&D Company, with each party holding half of the shares.

Luwu is not related to anyone. He is the god of war in mythology. He controls Kunlun Mountain and is the chief steward of the heaven. Even the four seasons are under his control.

The reason for choosing this name is that we hope that this company will have its own army of products just like the army that Luwu has.

Isn't this the reason why President He came back? The higher-ups wanted Baoli to have someone who had dealt with Luo Nianzhong in charge.

It’s really because these weapons are so tempting, and if you get one, you will get two. Who knows what kind of equipment Luo Nianzhong can get in the future.
