Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

With Bai Xiuzhu and Yin Xinyue giving birth to children in succession, Sun Tong now has five sons and two daughters.

Although the house becomes more lively with more children, it also causes more trouble.

Fortunately, the eldest child, Sun Jingwen, is more sensible and knows how to help his parents take care of his younger siblings. This prevents Sun Tong and the other three from having to focus all their attention on the child.

Time flies and another two years have passed. It is already July of the 36th year.

In the past two years, Sun Tong, as the leader of the Xihua Kingdom, has not paid much attention to national affairs. Apart from accompanying his family and raising his children, he has basically spent the rest of his time on "inventing".

The "inventions" mentioned here were naturally copied by Sun Tong from the books in his space.

With the leadership of Sun Tong, the "all-round genius", in just two years, the technological development of the Kingdom of Xihua was like an industrial revolution.

First of all, it is the development of weapons and equipment. On the basis of the original, SUN’s full range of weapons have completed the design and production of a new generation of weapons. This generation of the company’s products has reached the equipment level of various countries in the 80s and 90s.

Strictly speaking, Xihua's technology level in light weapons is more than one generation ahead of other countries today.

However, this advantage is only limited to light weapons. Except for tanks, the heavy equipment used by the Xihua army can only be considered to have reached the average level of major powers at best.

西华陆军方面原本装备的SUN-20轻型坦克（BT-5改）、SUN-22中型坦克（59式改）、SUN-25式重型坦克（WZ111改）这三种坦克的可靠性还是很高的，最起码十年之内是不需要为这三种坦克的先进性而感到忧心。

Not to mention that the Xihua Military Equipment Research Institute has already begun developing a new generation of tanks for the Xihua Army. With sufficient research and development time, Sun Tong is not worried at all that Xihua's first-mover advantage will be lost.

In addition to tanks, Xihua's current self-propelled artillery series equipment is already at the forefront of the world. The SUN-33 self-propelled howitzers and SUN-35 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns developed by the Military Equipment Research Institute and produced by SUN have begun to be continuously equipped to the Xihua army. The only difference is that although the research institute has also produced several samples of self-propelled rocket launchers, these samples were returned by the army without exception after being sent to the army for trial.

This is not to say that the self-propelled rocket launchers developed by the institute are not good enough. In fact, from Sun Tong's point of view, the products developed by the institute are good enough for the current era.

However, Sun Tong had already spoiled the Xihua Army's taste. Judging from the combat effectiveness demonstrated by the self-propelled rocket launchers currently produced by the research institute, many people in the military felt that even if they were not equipped with these rocket launchers, the combat effectiveness of the army would not be affected.

On the contrary, if these things are equipped, it will increase the difficulty of supplying the army, which is not worth the cost.

The bigwigs in the research institute were all holding their breath in response to the military's feedback. After all, they were used to a smooth life, and now the military suddenly did this to them. How could these researchers tolerate this?

After the dean and vice-dean of the research institute found Sun Tong at the same time, Sun Tong had no choice but to agree to join in the design work of the new generation of self-propelled rocket launchers.

However, as a king, it is certainly impossible for Sun Tong to focus all his energy on this work.

So this time he just copied some design ideas from later generations and gave them to them. As for what they should do next, that was not something he, Sun, could decide.

In addition to self-propelled artillery, Xihua is currently also developing new military trucks and new armored vehicles. Due to the limitations of technical conditions and the lack of attention from the military itself, the development of military trucks and armored vehicles has not been very good.

However, in the past two years, European and American countries have been vigorously developing armored vehicles, and have even divided them into many categories. This has also made this new type of equipment suddenly catch the eyes of the top military officials in Xihua.

Sun Tong, the reborn person, must be clear about the development of various types of military vehicles. However, after helping the army lay a solid foundation, Sun Tong does not intend to interfere too much with the development of the army.

Others may not know, but Sun Tong knows it well in his heart. It is precisely because of his intervention that a certain split has now appeared within SUN company. The main reason for this situation is that the design concepts of many weapons and equipment developed by Sun Tong are contradictory and divisive.

There are currently three camps within SUN. The equipment development ideas of these three camps are similar to the three major factions in later generations. They often have fierce arguments over the development routes of weapons and equipment.

In order to put an end to this kind of internal friction, the top management of SUN Company, after consulting with Sun Tong, directly established three branches. When the military needs new equipment in the future, these three companies will jointly bid.
