"Thank you for your kindness, leaders. However, if possible, can I choose not to be promoted and continue to stay at the Northeast Military Factory?"

After pondering for a few minutes, Fang Yu said a little embarrassedly.

Upon hearing this, Li Dingyuan and Liu Zhenye were both stunned, their jaws dropping in surprise.

What exactly does this young man Fang Yu mean?

The promotion opportunity that others dream of is right in front of him, but he actually turned it down?

What's so good about that little shabby place of Northeast Military Factory that Fang Yu would be so nostalgic for it!

Since both of them are researching weapons manufacturing, isn’t our 301 Institute a hundred times better than the other side?

After hearing Fang Yu's reply, General Chen and Minister Huang also frowned.

They also didn't expect that Fang Yu would directly reject their proposal.

Logically speaking, the conditions I offered were already high enough.

Could it be that Fang Yu was still not satisfied and was resorting to a tactic of retreat in order to advance?

"Fang Yu, I know these awards are a bit low for your contributions, but young people shouldn't get upset. You should put the country first..."

Chen Shukang advised Fang Yu earnestly.

"General Chen, you misunderstood. The reason I chose not to be promoted and continue to stay in the military factory is not because I despise the low position you offered me."

After hearing Chen Shukang's words, Fang Yu immediately realized that the other party had misunderstood his meaning and hurriedly explained.

"I just hope to stay on the front lines and continue to contribute more to the Dragon Nation's warriors."

"Also, although I'm not planning on getting promoted, I have an idea I'd like to share with you and ask you to give it to the Chief of Staff."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Yes, if you have any ideas, bring them up and we can discuss them together!"

Hearing this, Minister Huang also spoke with interest.

"Although we may not be able to help you, there are so many people here, we can pool our wisdom!"

"Okay, then I'll be bold and say it."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Fang Yu felt a slight tingling sensation on his scalp and said through gritted teeth.

"General Chen, Minister Huang, I have been at the Northeast Military Factory for half a year."

"I've discovered that our military factories still have many problems."

"The equipment is seriously outdated, and some models are even older than 30 years ago."

"Moreover, after all the damage done by war, only one-third of them are still functioning normally."

"This has significantly hampered production progress, and at the same time, these old machines cannot be used for increasingly sophisticated processing."

Having said that, Fang Yu paused slightly.

"So, I propose that we expand the Northeast Military Factory, eliminate all the old machines, and innovate all the outdated production concepts!"

"So as to build a brand new modern military factory?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into a brief silence.

Fang Yu’s idea really scared them.

After all, with the current industrial level of Longguo, rebuilding a military factory is not an easy task.

If it were possible, the country would have done so long ago. Why use these old machines to barely maintain it?

You know, the New Dragon Kingdom was established only two years ago.

The country was just starting out and there was a lot of work to be done. We had no money and no technology.

Although the big brother Mao Xiongguo has provided Longguo with a batch of modern machines to support Longguo's industrial development.

But in the end, there were too many people and too little meat, and there was simply no money to provide to Fang Yu to realize his grand plan.

But at the same time, the top leaders of Longguo naturally knew that in order to defend the Longguo regime that was established with great difficulty, they had to build a national defense industrial system as soon as possible and create a strong army.

In particular, the soldiers of Dragon Country are still fighting a desperate battle with the United States in North Korea. The stronger the national defense is, the less their sacrifices will be.

For a moment, all the senior officials of the Dragon Kingdom present were caught in a dilemma.

After a long time, Minister Huang sighed and said solemnly.

"Xiao Fang, your idea is good, but given our current situation, we are powerless."

"Let me tell you the truth. The Russians did provide my country with over a dozen machine tools, but the production schedule for these machines has already been scheduled for next year."

"I can't even squeeze one out for you here."

"However, as soon as the second batch of aid from the Bear Country arrives, I will approve your plan. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Fang Yu fell into a brief contemplation.

He could see that Minister Huang had indeed thought seriously about his proposal, but he was forced to resort to this last resort due to the current situation.

Otherwise, with his identity, he wouldn't need to explain so much to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu also understood the other party's difficulties.

However, he still intends to stick to his own ideas.

A modern arsenal must be built!

It’s not that Fang Yu is stubborn, it’s because he is the only one who knows what will happen.

Although it seems now that the Dragon Country soldiers are unstoppable on the front line and have defeated the arrogant American Country army.

This is of course due to the powerful strength of the first light infantry in the history of Dragon Country.

But at the same time, it was also because the other side underestimated the strength of the Dragon Kingdom and was too careless in the early stages of the battle that led to such an outcome.

After the United States reacted and sent massive reinforcements, the balance of power between the two sides was restored.

After several counterattacks, the United States, relying on its strong military-industrial strength and the world's number one economy, pushed the Dragon Army back to the vicinity of the 38th parallel.

Since then, the two sides have been caught in an endless war of attrition.

Faced with the powerful and prudent American army, the Dragon Kingdom paid the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers before finally signing an armistice agreement at the end of the battle line.

In order to avoid repeating this mistake and for the safety of more Dragon Country soldiers.

This modern arsenal must be built so that the Dragon Country soldiers can have a way to counter the firepower advantage of the United States!

Thinking of this, Fang Yu hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Minister Huang, if I say I don't need the machine tools from the Bear Country, I just need you to grant me land and enough manpower."

"Would you approve my plan to build a modern munitions factory?"
