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

"190,000 US dollars, delivery in half a month? The purchasing country is Sang Country?!"

City Hall Building.

Office of Economic and Industrial Development.

Fang Boyan, director of the office in charge of the city's industrial development and economic exchange, looked at the export commodity intention contract submitted by the county machinery factory in disbelief.

Fang Boyan recognized all the words on the contract.

All these contents combined gave Fang Boyan a feeling of falling into the clouds.

The county machinery factory earned 190,000 foreign currencies in one go.

The country purchasing the goods is Sang.

It's simply unbelievable...

Sang State is a friendly country that Long State focuses on supporting.

In the past few years, Long State invested a large number of personnel and funds to help Sang State build a modern railway.

This poor third world guy is now in a state of war.

The Sang Kingdom, which was unable to take care of itself, had to spend its precious funds to purchase civilian goods such as steel pipes and liquefied gas tanks.

As the third-in-command in the city, Fang Boyan naturally knew what a liquefied gas tank was.

Just because I know.

That’s why it seems incredible.

Sang State is a small and poor country in the Black Continent region.

Now it is facing an armed invasion from Ukraine.

Instead of thinking about buying weapons to resist foreign enemies, they want to buy gas tanks and steel pipes.

What is this all about?

Fang Boyan was puzzled and looked at the young man in front of him in confusion.

The other party called himself Lin Kaifeng, and his identity was a temporary worker and technician in the county machinery factory.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, what is going on?"

Fang Boyan pointed at the contract in front of him and hesitated, "How did the county machinery factory contact the foreign businessmen? Why did the foreign businessmen want to buy so many liquefied gas cylinders?"

"Sang Country is in the midst of war. What is their purpose in importing these things?"

"Also, the other party asked the county machinery factory to deliver the goods within half a month. Why is the time so tight?"

Facing Fang Boyan's questions one after another, Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Reporting to the leader, Sang Country has abundant natural gas reserves. The purpose of purchasing liquefied gas tanks is to store liquefied gas after natural gas processing."

"Sang Country is indeed experiencing a war, but the war will end one day."

"After the war, we will definitely have to rebuild. The energy generated by the liquefied gas tanks can improve the living standards of local residents, and the large steel pipes can be used in the field of engineering construction."

"Bullshit."

Fang Boyan said unhappily: "Even if we want to carry out post-war reconstruction, we have to wait until the war is over."

"I can't see any other use for buying these things now except wasting money?"

"Sang State is in a hurry to receive the goods, and they are definitely not going to use them for construction. To be honest, what on earth are they going to use these goods for?"

Lin Kaifeng said: "Why did Sangguo buy so many liquefied gas cylinders, and why was it in a hurry to receive them? I don't know the specific circumstances."

"I just told them that the liquefied gas tanks must be properly stored. If they are not stored properly, it may be dangerous."

Lin Kaifeng knew that there were some things that he couldn't hide.

Moreover, Lin Kaifeng didn't want to hide it from Fang Boyan.

Anyone who sees this letter of intent will find it incredible.

Lin Kaifeng was shouldering multiple missions as he came to the city to report on work on behalf of the county machinery factory.

The first task is to apply for production materials for the machinery factory.

Five thousand liquefied gas tanks and two thousand steel pipes serving as launchers need to be produced within half a month.

With the material reserves of the county machinery factory, it is simply impossible to do this.

It must be allocated by the city.

The county machinery factory was extremely poor. If it wanted to complete its foreign exchange earning task, it had to broaden its thinking and find ways to utilize all available resources.

Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Changshun had studied at a military academy, the factory decided to treat foreign students in the military academy as foreign businessmen.

Try to reach out to them and communicate.

Try to target these foreign students.

Let them be used as a bridge for foreign export and exchange of foreign currency.

Listen, listen.

Fang Boyan's face changed drastically. He reached out to interrupt Lin Kaifeng and looked down at the contract on the table.

Large steel pipes, liquefied gas tanks, military cadets, and the war in Sang Country.

When he put these words together, Fang Boyan broke out in a sweat.

Like Lu Changshun, Fang Boyan is also a retired soldier.

Fang Boyan, 53 years old this year, joined the army and went to the front line when he was a teenager.

We have fought against the Japanese and bandit troops.

He even fought against foreign big-nosed soldiers on the battlefield.

"Your factory is really crazy!!! Lu Changshun is a brainless stubborn donkey, and the other factory leaders are a bunch of idiots, no, a bunch of audacious idiots!!!"

Fang Boyan slammed the table angrily.

"Do you think that you are the only smart people in the world? Everyone else is stupid?"

"Go back and tell Lu Changshun that I was also a soldier. In terms of military service, he should call me the old squad leader!!!"

"Liquefied gas tanks can be loaded with explosives, steel pipes can be used as launchers, and Sang Country is being invaded and is in urgent need of various arms and weapons. You are so bold to export arms in the name of civilian goods!"

"How many heads does the leader of your county machinery factory have?"

Fang Boyan patted his neck in frustration.

Once this matter is exposed.

Not only the county machinery factory will be wiped out.

He is the director in charge of the city's industry and export earnings.

It is very likely that you will have to roll in and eat steamed bread.

Lin Kaifeng said slowly, "Leader, please calm down. Can I explain a few words for our factory?"

"What's there to explain?"

Fang Boyan roared.

"Have your factory director and deputy director come here immediately."

"The country needs to export to earn foreign exchange, but not all money can be earned."

"Who gave you the guts to export weapons? You are disorganized and undisciplined!!!"

"Why don't you leave?"

Fang Boyan glared at Lin Kaifeng in anger.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly, "Leader, before I leave, could you give me five minutes to explain everything to me?"

Fang Boyan asked angrily, "What do you want to say? What can you argue about this matter?"

"Boss, our factory doesn't have the guts to export weapons. As written in the contract, we sell liquefied gas tanks and steel pipes."

"As for how Sangguo uses it, we have no control over it, let alone how to manage it."

As a seller, Lin Kaifeng believes it is his responsibility to give buyers a friendly reminder.

Tell them how to use the products safely and how to store and keep them.

"You call this a reminder? All that's missing is teaching them how to turn these things into flying thunder cannons."

Fang Boyan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

It is called a reminder, but it is actually a notification.

I’m afraid that Sang Kingdom doesn’t know how to assemble the Flying Thunder Cannon.

The county machinery factory said everything that should and should not be said.

Lin Kaifeng said: "To be honest, we have no way of supervising whether the Sang Kingdom will use these things to assemble weapons."

"Even if it was assembled into a weapon, it was not instigated by the County Machinery Factory."

Lin Kaifeng changed the subject and said that a large number of military officers from Sang Country came to Long Country to study abroad.

I know a lot about the war history of the Dragon Kingdom.

Mobilize the wisdom of the people and wage war according to local conditions.

Assembling a liquefied gas tank and a steel pipe into a flying thunder cannon can only be said to be Sang Guo's application of his knowledge.

Learned the essence of people's war.
