A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Compared to the shock in the western countries, the Big Brother's response was relatively calm.

Because they always believed that "Hailuzi" was a product we copied. Since the copy was so good, their original version couldn't be much worse!

Moreover, the relevant research institute had already upgraded the original version, so they didn't take this "sea snub" seriously at all.

"minister!"

"what happened?"

"Uh, there's bad news. Many of the member states have cancelled their orders for our 'Styx' missiles and are now contacting that disobedient brother of ours..."

"Ha! That's perfect! Those guys just want to take things for free, let them go looking for it. Look at this, with our Lubyanka shifting its focus, another ancient Eastern kingdom is actively moving closer to us!"

"Oh? Is that the country that gained independence from the lobster man by not resisting?"

"Yes, they seem to have suffered significant losses on the border and desperately need weapon support! Our leaders think this is a good opportunity. They can gain rubles while also causing trouble for that disobedient brother..."

"What do they say in their old language?"

"Uh, killing two birds with one stone?"

"Haha, not bad. Go on, see what these people want, that country has plenty of gold..."

"Tsk tsk, these guys have such strange thought processes. On the one hand, they grovel before established capitalist countries, and on the other hand, they actively provoke their neighbor. Don't they know that our brother may be poor, but he's the most ruthless when it comes to beating people up?"

"That's not something we need to worry about..."

Well, that concludes the long and complicated international relations discussion.

Hmm? You mean Wanwan's reaction?

That's not an external matter, that's an internal matter!

Their reactions are completely irrelevant.

Am I supposed to tell you that they flew a P-2V electronic reconnaissance aircraft, sneaking over to the scene at night to verify the situation, only to have it shot down by the waiting air force with two "big guns"?

However, the Air Force was quite unhappy. "Just one electronic reconnaissance aircraft, who does it think it is?"

Isn't there some super sword? Let's bring it out and have a showdown!

Alright, let's ignore these guys who are desperately eager for battle achievements and turn our attention back to the foreign affairs department, which is in a mess.

The foreign affairs department was at a loss as to what to do with those applications, since the intentions of those applicants were too obvious.

After thinking for a long time, the minister simply waved his hand and approved them all! As for the reasons for entry, they were all changed to participating in the table tennis championship.

Wow! It's perfect!

This is a world-class competition, so inviting many guests is perfectly appropriate!

The foreign affairs department staff quickly stamped the applications of those people. They said, "We welcome all guests, and we can't neglect good people. After all, we are a country of etiquette."

As for what happens after the competition, leave that to the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

The Ministry of Foreign Trade is furious. Seriously? They're shifting the blame way too fast! No wonder people call you "black-skinned, red-hearted rabbits"—you can cheat foreigners all you want, but why are you using that same energy on your own comrades?

Selling any kind of air fryer is fine, but this "Hai Liu Zi" is clearly not for civilian use, so what am I supposed to do? There's no precedent for this!

The sports department was also exhausted and said, "Brother, I'm just a small department. I can't handle such a big responsibility!"

So the two departments joined forces and went straight to the lake.

"Boss, what do you think we should do about this? It seems we don't have a department responsible for this kind of thing right now!"

"Uh... this has put us in a difficult position! We can't sell it, because that would go against our original intentions!"

"Boss, this is a rare opportunity..."

"Then let's be flexible! If 'sell' doesn't sound good, let's change it to 'change'!"

"Change?"

"Yes! For the allied countries, let's barter. As for France, let's not rush things. Did they send an old friend? I can still meet with this old friend!"

Alright, that's all arranged.

As for the camels with their heads covered by a cloth, the world's richest camels, they were selectively ignored. Although their entry applications were approved, their importance was clearly not as high as that of other countries.

What kind of shock will this group of gold-plated tycoons bring to the naive rabbit?

I'm really looking forward to it.

After all this talk, what is our little ahoge doing?

Is it still a struggle between reason and humanity, or...?

Oops, wrong channel. Please cross out the lines above.

Give me a thumbs up and say my water is really good!

Closer to home.

Jiangxia bid farewell to his family and was picked up by Lao Wang, who rushed over, and taken back to the steel rolling mill.

"What's wrong? What's the rush?"

"Hehe! Abaganar from the grasslands brought something big with him, you haven't forgotten your promise to him, have you!"

"Oh, external armor? They've already got it done?"

"Yes! They've done a quick setup. They'd like to invite you to test drive the car today!"

Hey, that sounds good!

After waving goodbye to Liu Ye, who had come to pick up the three girls, Old Wang turned the car around and headed straight for the outskirts of Beijing.

"Hahaha~~ My Anda, you are like an eagle soaring over the grasslands..."

Regardless of the burly man's string of praises, Jiang Xia was somewhat shocked as he looked at the tank in front of him.

Look at this angular wedge-shaped turret, and then look at the hull, which has become much larger due to the addition of external armor.

No, brother, you really brought out the "jaguar"?

Count the wheels on the tracks again, wow!

It's still five pairs of wheels.

"Anda, I went to Anshan Iron and Steel a couple of days ago, told them about the hardships of life on the grasslands, and had a wrestling match with that 'representative' of all. And then, I got my NB-550!"

"However, this steel is too hard. My machine tools can't cut through it at all; we have to use it in whole blocks..."

"I pieced it together like this, following your design. Isn't it beautiful!"

It was indeed quite beautiful, but Jiang Xia pointed to the small cannon barrel that seemed a bit out of place with the massive hull: "It's a 100mm rifled cannon?"

"Hehe, that's right! I'm just waiting for your 105mm smoothbore cannon, Adachi!"

"But the main reason I'm here today is to show the leaders the tank's protective capabilities. These days, every project needs to be reviewed, right? The project we submitted just happened to be selected for inspection."

Hmm, that's good. It seems Motherland is now focusing all her efforts on removing the obstacles. It might seem troublesome now, but it will save her a lot of trouble later!

Next, this seemingly replica Jaguar five-wheeled vehicle began its hellish journey.

"Ricochet!"

"We failed to penetrate the armor!"

"Ricochet!"

"Target hit! The target is unharmed!"

The leaders who came to review the report gaped in astonishment. Then someone said something and pointed at Jiang Xia, who was watching with great interest.

So the leaders' gazes began to diverge. One eye remained fixed on the modified five pairs of wheels that were standing still in the center of the field, being bombed, while the other eye turned to the guy with the wildly flying ahoge.

"Hmm? Old Wang, it seems a bit cold?"

"It's an illusion; this is the affection of an elder..."

Another three minutes of hell. The modified five wheels were already riddled with dents, and white smoke was rising from some of the areas that had been hit multiple times.

With a wave of his hand, the grassland man led the charge towards the five pairs of wheels.

Jiang Xia thought they were there to put out a fire.

Unexpectedly, these men climbed into their respective battle positions, the engines roared, and the battered tank let out a furious roar, charging up the low slope beside it!

"Hahaha! I am the beast of the grassland!"
