1959: Carrying the achievement system, she rolled

"If you want to have strong power, you need huge financial support. Opening up arms trade is inevitable." Du Yimeng said. This was not just a casual remark, but was supported by later history.

By the end of the 70s, the country's foreign exchange reserves were less than US$2 million, and the finances were stretched to the limit.

At the same time, the Monkey Kingdom began to harass the border again, forcing the country to fight a self-defense counterattack war that cost more than 40 billion yuan.

You have to know that the Monkey Kingdom at that time was supported by the domestic market, and the domestic market provided the Monkey Kingdom with about US$203 billion in aid.

Not only do they have various light and heavy weapons and equipment that can arm 200 million troops, but they also have more than 400 industrial projects. However, they ended up raising an ungrateful person who turned against them.

One can imagine what the financial situation was like at that time. For this reason, military spending had to be drastically cut and the army had to be disbanded, which also led to the suspension of hundreds of important military scientific research projects.

It was in this context that the arms trade was launched.

It's not just one country that has raised such ungrateful people who bite back. For example, Albania, which donated hundreds of aircraft, flew the donated aircraft but cursed the socialism in its own country.

For example, the Korean country sacrificed more than 20 soldiers to help them defend their country. During the Battle of Formosa, they wanted to take advantage of the situation and get involved in the Northeast.

There are more than 80 countries that have received aid, and the aid materials range from military equipment to food and daily necessities.

It is not impossible to open up trade in advance, and the Type 64 tank they developed is the stepping stone.

Take the armor-piercing discarding sabot projectile for example, one shot costs four ounces of gold, not to mention the gun-launched missiles that are currently being researched, which are all money-burning things.

This is why she insisted on developing expensive weapons regardless of national strength. On the one hand, it was to increase national defense, and on the other hand, it was to make the country pay attention to financial issues.

What the country lacks most now is weapons with powerful firepower, but if it wants to equip the entire army, it needs financial support.

If we want to change the financial problem, we have to stop supporting it and open up the arms trade.

What bad intentions could she have? She just doesn't want her country to be taken advantage of, and she doesn't want the whole country to tighten their belts and cut back on food in exchange for a bunch of ungrateful people.

Li Saichang looked at Du Yimeng with admiration. She was right. The higher-ups were discussing this issue.

"The higher-ups have been discussing your appointment. They originally wanted to promote you to the position of chief engineer, but some people say that you are too young to take on such an important task. What do you think?" Li Saichang asked with a smile.

"I think a person's ability has nothing to do with age." Du Yimeng said in a flat tone. She looked nonchalant, as if she was discussing someone else's affairs.

It should be said that she is very confident that the position of chief engineer belongs to her because she has the ability to do it.

"You dare to say that? Aren't you afraid that someone will say you are arrogant?" Li Saichang smiled even more. Her confident look was very similar to Yu Hongru, but he didn't dislike her.

Of course, if Yu Hongru acted like this in front of him, he would not be able to help but punch him twice. This is how he treated people differently.

"Arrogance also requires capital, otherwise you will be no different from a clown." Du Yimeng said.

Li Saichang looked at Du Yimeng, who was so confident and a little arrogant, and he thought of his previous thoughts again. Is she really not Lao Yu’s biological daughter?

Otherwise, why would two people who are not related by blood look so similar?

"Director Wei may want to see you in the next few days, so be careful then." Li Saichang reminded. What he meant was that you can be more high-profile in front of him, but still have to be low-key in front of outsiders.

"Thank you, uncle, for the reminder!" Du Yimeng thanked him sincerely. She understood what he meant. She has always been a very low-key person.

Then she felt a little guilty. As soon as he entered the study, he started to make big promises. She thought he had other intentions, but she didn't expect that she was just judging him by her own standards.

Whether it was because of their relationship with Yu Lang or because he valued her abilities, she was very grateful for his care.

By the way, why did he draw such a big picture as soon as he entered the study?

Li Saichang: Of course it was to cover up the embarrassment of having the chessboard stuffed under his bed.

"If your superiors ask you to develop a simplified version of the Type 64 tank that not only retains powerful firepower but also has protective capabilities, and most importantly, saves costs, can you do it?" Li Saichang asked. He was not deliberately making things difficult for her, but someone else raised this question.

As long as she takes the position of chief engineer, this will be the first problem she needs to solve.

If she couldn't do it, people would question her ability, which would be very disadvantageous to her, so he thought of reminding her in advance.

Du Yimeng did not answer Li Saichang's words immediately, but fell into thought. She was not thinking about whether she could build such a tank, but was thinking about the implication of his words.

Since he asked, there must be some thoughts in this regard. She also considered this aspect when she was researching the Type 64 tank.

Considering the current national conditions, cost saving is imperative.

"Yes." Du Yimeng gave an affirmative answer.

"Very good!" The admiration in Li Saichang's eyes grew even stronger. He still underestimated her ability.

When he first heard the news, he was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep, but the other party just replied with the word "yes".

He likes people who are confident and arrogant, except for his good brother-in-law, of course.

Du Yimeng and his family of three left Li's house in the afternoon. Not long after they left, Commander Cai quietly came to Li's house.

"What do you mean?" Commander Cai asked directly. As for Lao Li's statement that he missed Fang Bao, he didn't believe it!

The reason why he paid attention to this matter was not only because of official business, but also a little selfish, of course, for that troublesome son-in-law.

He has some ability, but not much, and he is unable to stand on his own, so he can only pin his hopes on others.

"There's no need to explain the abilities of my niece's wife!" Li Saichang said proudly.

Commander Cai: He really wants to say that if he doesn’t show off, he will lose a piece of meat or something?

However, Lao Li's words reminded him, so it was his turn next.

"I'm going to be a grandfather." Commander Cai raised his chin slightly and said in a cold tone.

Li Saichang was momentarily confused. What did this have to do with him?

"You should say congratulations." Commander Cai saw Li Saichang looking at him stupidly, and felt very proud in his heart. It was finally his turn.

"Congratulations!" Li Saichang replied dryly. It's a case of fate, and no one can escape the misfortune. One second he was showing off, the next it was Old Cai's turn.

"Hmm!" Commander Cai responded again in a high and cold voice, then left the Li family without looking back. His goal achieved, he left.
