Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Although I have never been a soldier, nor have I dealt with our military departments, judging from the information I have received, the weapons and equipment produced in our country have always been high-quality, inexpensive, strong and durable."

Lin Kaifeng said half jokingly and half seriously: "Western weapons are good, but the problems are also obvious. One is that they are expensive, and the other is that they are too complicated. Every time they are maintained, they have to go through a series of training. This is not an easy task for desert soldiers whose average education level is only elementary school dropouts."

"Haha, the average education level is only primary school dropout. Comrade Lin Kaifeng, what you said is really... a little too exaggerated."

The old leader, who was in a good mood, couldn't help laughing and was almost amused by Lin Kaifeng's witty remark.

The desert countries became rich overnight, but in just over 20 years, the education level in the region has not been significantly improved.

It is not an exaggeration to say that their average educational level is only at primary school level.

Wang Changsheng interrupted and said, "Old leader, I understand what Comrade Lin Kaifeng means. Our country's various weapons and equipment are not only strong and durable, but also easy to maintain. For example, our 40 rockets."

"Even if there are some operational failures, it can still fire normally. The parts structure of our semi-automatic rifles is simpler than those of the Soviet Union."

"Old leader, I also want to say a few words."

Zhao, the deputy minister of the Third Machine-Building Department who participated in the meeting, said: "In the past twenty years, our Third Machine-Building Department's fighter jets have been exported to many desert countries and have won wide acclaim. If we can offer high-quality, low-priced, easy-to-maintain and simple-structured weapons, Latvia and Persia may not refuse to buy weapons from us."

All of a sudden, many people began to change their minds.

Before this, no one had ever thought about exporting large quantities of weapons to foreign countries.

If you don't think about it, you naturally won't discover the characteristics of your own weapons.

It is believed that compared with Soviet and American weapons, the performance of Longguo weapons is relatively backward, and desert countries will definitely not choose Longguo.

From another perspective, Longguo’s weapons and equipment also have their own advantages.

Regarding the problems of desert countries, such as the low cultural level of soldiers.

The weapons of the Dragon Kingdom happen to be the most suitable weapons for them.

The old leader waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, people have always said that you are a versatile person on the economic front and a master at exporting and earning foreign exchange. I didn't expect that you are also good at analyzing the international situation."

"According to you, the large amount of weapons and equipment we have in stock can become our third way to earn foreign exchange through exports?"

"That's for sure. The situation in the desert is far more complicated than we thought."

Lin Kaifeng said without hesitation: "The war over there will not stop for several years. The Soviet Union invaded the Graveyard of Empires, and then Persia and Lakia fought each other."

"The troublemaker Squid Nation has been making moves recently. No matter what level of military friction or conflict, there will be no shortage of weapons and ammunition."

"We need to export not only civilian goods but also weapons and equipment. In a word, any business that can contribute to the country's economic development is a good business."

The old leader nodded in agreement.

Lin Kaifeng's remarks coincided with the spirit of the speech made by his old leader at a high-level meeting not long ago.

No matter what the means and methods are, whether they are in line with the previous development model, as long as they can contribute to the country and the people, we should have the courage to try.

In various ways, we will strengthen the country's economic development and improve people's living standards.

Next, Lin Kaifeng talked about large aircraft and their important role in the resurgence of Dragon Country.

When Longguo opens its doors, it needs to solve not only economic problems, but also strengthen military construction and increase its international influence.

In the late 1980s, the United States and other multinational forces jointly launched an attack on Latin America.

An oil war shocked the world.

It also awakened the Dragon Kingdom.

For the first time, the top leaders felt that their own military strength was insufficient and their international influence was weak.

From that day on, the army underwent drastic reforms.

We will streamline our military and administrative departments, and focus on developing information-based and electronic warfare.

Find ways to enhance Dragon Country's external influence.

It is a pity.

That period of time was when the Soviet Union collapsed.

Without the Soviet Union, a major threat, the United States and a large number of Western countries tore off the mask of close friendship with Dragon Country.

The Dragon Kingdom was immediately regarded as the new enemy.

In order to maintain its huge armaments and use Western countries as pawns for a long time, the United States adopted the attitude it used against the Soviet Union and frantically put accusations on Dragon Country.

Every once in a while, the United States will inevitably perform a Dragon Country threat theory.

If the 1980s were the golden age of Dragon Country's economic development.

Then the 1990s was the darkest moment in the development of Longguo.

The major hatreds that made countless Chinese people sad and angry all occurred in the 1990s.

The United States has fully demonstrated its shameless face.

They seized a Longguo cargo ship without reason and sent planes to invade Longguo’s airspace.

They even brazenly attacked Longguo's overseas institutions.

Every single thing, even if Lin Kaifeng were to live for several lifetimes, he would never forget it.

"From the oil crisis, we can draw a clear conclusion: future wars will almost all revolve around energy."

"The energy I'm talking about here is not just oil energy, but also hydropower, electric power, and various mineral energy."

Lin Kaifeng said loudly.

"The two oil crises have had a severe impact on the economic development of Western countries. The manufacturing industries of the United States, the world's largest economy, and the second largest economy, the island countries, have been most affected."

"They have no choice but to carry out industrial transfer, which I call deindustrialization."

When Wang Changsheng heard the word "deindustrialization", he was puzzled at first.

When it comes to military knowledge, the First Ministry of Machine Building is a complete layman.

From the establishment of the First Ministry of Machine Building to the present, the work it has been responsible for has always revolved around domestic machinery construction and industrial development.

It rarely involves the military industry.

Speaking of industrialization, it is Wang Changsheng's forte.

What does Lin Kaifeng mean by deindustrialization?

Wang Changsheng had never heard of it.

Not only had Wang Changsheng never heard of it, but his old leader had never heard of it either.

Lin Kaifeng said: "Ladies and gentlemen, deindustrialization means transferring the industrial system from one's own country to other countries when the country's industrial development has reached a bottleneck and is unable to continue to develop upward."

"The United States is undergoing a deindustrialization process, moving various manufacturing companies overseas and focusing on investing in education, medical care, technology and the financial sector."

"These industries can bring new profits and allow the United States to continue to maintain its status as a superpower."
