Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 177 Unexpected Visitors (Subscription Request)
On National Day, Yang Ning watched the grand military parade with hundreds of thousands of people.

When the soldiers being reviewed, holding the latest Type 56 rifles, marched across the square with neat and powerful steps to accept the review of the leaders and the people, Yang Ning felt a strong sense of pride in his heart.

I feel like I have finally made a small contribution to the construction.

The armored troops that appeared next had all replaced their tanks with domestically produced Type 56 main battle tanks, allowing everyone to see with their own eyes the tremendous progress we have made in the fields of national defense and industrial construction.

This time, the Type 55 100mm anti-aircraft gun, which Yang Ning participated in the research and design of, also joined the parade for the first time to be reviewed.

When the planes of the Air Force that were being reviewed flew over, hundreds of thousands of people cheered loudly when they saw several planes breaking the sound barrier and leaving white lines in the sky.

Even Yang Ning, seeing the planes flying across the sky, felt excited but also a little worried.

Unlike most people, Yang Ning knew that these supersonic aircraft flying across the sky were the J-6 that had just completed its maiden flight.

In order to present this gift to the people of the whole country on National Day, Fengfei's scientific researchers and technical workers worked continuously for more than half a year and completed the fighter jet, which Yang Ning had expected to make its maiden flight next year, six months ahead of schedule.

When Yang Ning received the complete set of design drawings and materials they sent him, he was deeply shocked.

The time Yang Ning estimated previously could be said to be the fastest time possible under all favorable conditions.

However, those scientific researchers and technical workers taught Yang Ning a lesson, letting him know what it means that man can conquer nature and what the spirit of hard work and struggle is!
It is said that even the technical staff of Big Brother at that time exclaimed in disbelief when they learned that our fighter plane had taken off.

"Comrade Federlin, have you noticed that our little brother digested the technology we supported him a little too quickly?"

At this time, on the viewing stand, an old Big Brother military attaché was looking at the planes flying in the sky with a smile on his face, clapping along with others, and speaking to an old Big Brother diplomat next to him.

"Even though they have our complete set of technical information and the engineers and technicians we sent to provide them with technical guidance, they are still able to digest and absorb the information too quickly. In addition, all projects are basically successful in one try before the experiment."

"For example, the aircraft technologies we assisted them with were not only manufactured very quickly, but also, after they realized the self-production of parts, the performance of the aircraft they produced was even better than our aircraft of the same model."

"Moreover, all the aircrafts were successfully tested in one go. After the test flight, they only collected some data and information, and then immediately put them into mass production. There was no room for improvement at all, which is obviously not in line with common sense."

The more the military attaché analyzed, the more serious his expression became. Finally, he put down his hand, looked at the diplomat beside him solemnly and said, "Comrade Federlin, this situation is very abnormal, very abnormal. They must be hiding something from us."

"So what?" The diplomat of Big Brother glanced at the military attaché and asked, "General Karoslav, even if this is just as you guessed, so what? Can we have another Red Flag car incident like last time and continue to force our comrades to take their technology?"

"Why not? They're betraying us by hiding this technology..."

"Enough!" Before the military attaché could finish his words, the Big Brother diplomat interrupted him.

"General Karoslav, please don't say these things anymore. If something like last time happens again, it could have a huge impact on the relationship between our two countries."

"Okay!" The military officer was a little angry at first after being interrupted.

But when he turned his head and saw that his conversation with the diplomat had attracted the attention of other people around him, he had to give up for the time being.

Yang Ning didn't know that his existence had attracted the attention of Big Brother.

After the military parade, he was taken to the Ministry of Foreign Trade by President Guo.

"President Guo, what's going on this time?"

Yang Ning sat in Dean Guo's car, feeling a little depressed.

He originally thought that he was very proud to be invited to attend the military parade, and he even planned to show off to Hu Yinghong when he returned home.

But just now, when he spotted his wife in the parade, he gave up the idea and planned to go home and teach this woman a lesson. How dare she hide such a big thing from him? Didn't she regard herself as a cadre as the head of the household?
"A group of special guests came to us not long ago and wanted to purchase a batch of our weapons and equipment. The Foreign Trade Department hopes that you can go over and give some advice."

Dean Guo saw that he looked depressed and thought that he had other things to do, so he quickly emphasized it.

"This is the first time we have done this transaction, and we don't know what can be sold and what can't be sold. You are the one who knows the most about our findings, and the higher-ups would like to hear your opinions."

"Got it!" After listening to Dean Guo's explanation, Yang Ning also became serious.

He also began to wonder, during this period of time, which place still needed to buy weapons from us?

During this period, whenever a conflict or war broke out, there was no doubt that the two big brothers were involved.

As for the forces they support, the two leaders are very generous. They give money and weapons when they are asked for. Why do they need to buy from us?
Suddenly, Yang Ning thought of the Canal War that had plunged John Bull into complete decline.

If he remembered correctly, the war would break out at the end of this month.

Although the canal sovereign state was beaten by John Bull, Gallic Chicken and Squid, and was defeated miserably militarily, in this war, the two leading brothers all stood tacitly on the opposite side of John Bull and his group.

Without the support of these two people, even if they won militarily, they would eventually be completely defeated in other aspects.

The Squid at least gained some benefits from this war, while John Bull and Gallic Rooster not only lost their operating rights in the canal, but also led to the collapse of the two countries' global rule.

All we can say is that the two leading brothers spared no effort in dismembering the former boss.

Although the canal's sovereign state has now received comprehensive assistance from the big brother, the big brother was delayed due to some things before, and the promised assistance was not delivered in time.

Considering the opponents they will soon face, the sovereign state of the canal has no choice but to seek help from all over.

"Could it be that the people coming here are from the sovereign country of the canal?"

Think about it, at this time, apart from them and the wolf in the south, no one else needs our weapons and equipment.

As for the South, we have always expressed our attitude openly and there is no need to make it so mysterious. Then there is only one other sovereign country of the canal left.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, so just tell me what you have to say, don't hold back!"

After hearing Yang Ning's guess, Dean Guo just smiled.

The car stopped at the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and Yang Ning was brought in as President Guo's secretary.

The conference room was already full of people at this time, including people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, as well as representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military.

"President Guo, Comrade Yang Ning, we are waiting for you!"

After entering the meeting room, Yang Ning no longer had to pretend to be a "little Karami".

Everyone who can attend this meeting knows Yang Ning's identity.

Seeing that everyone was present, the leader presiding over the meeting briefly explained the purpose of the meeting.

"...This is also the first time we have encountered such a thing. Please share your opinions."

"The weapons and equipment needed by the canal sovereign state are not that much. Since it is a struggle against imperialism and colonialism, I don't think there is any need for us to care about this. We can just provide direct assistance like we did to our comrades in the south."

"That's easy to say. Although our economic situation has improved, we can't afford such waste. I won't mention that our comrades in the south are related to our safety, but I don't agree with providing free support to the sovereign state of the canal."

"How can this be a waste..."

As soon as the leader's words fell, others expressed their opinions one after another.

In fact, Yang Ning has no opinion on whether to provide free support to the sovereign state of the canal.

The main reason is that the sovereign state of the canal does not need much weapons and equipment this time. After all, they have the support of the big brother. They are just afraid that it will be too late, so they only purchase some emergency supplies.

Whether it is free support or sale, it has little impact on us.

What Yang Ning valued was the status of the canal sovereign in the Near East after the war and the propaganda effect of the weapons being exported.

You must know that after this war, the sovereign country of the canal became the leader of that area, leading everyone to resist the squids.

Although those countries were not as rich as they are now before the oil crisis, they still had plenty of oil and water!

That place will not be peaceful for a long time in the future. As long as our weapons and equipment can achieve good publicity effects this time, even if the two leaders get the lion's share in the future, we can at least get a share, right?

"Comrade Yang Ning, what do you think?" Seeing Yang Ning sitting in the corner, thinking silently, the leader asked with a smile.

The conference room immediately fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to Yang Ning.

Even though Yang Ning is the youngest and has the lowest position among the others sitting here, no one dares to underestimate Yang Ning's importance.

At this time, whether you support free aid or paid sales, you all want to hear Yang Ning's opinion.

When Yang Ning heard his name being called by the leader, he was not nervous as he was used to big occasions. He stood up and stated his ideas.
