32: Definitely top notch

They didn't get the order and instead became a laughing stock. As the Chairman Xu of Northern Industries, the bitterness in his heart was imaginable.

If Northern Naval Industry had been successfully merged into Northern Industries back then, perhaps there wouldn't have been such an awkward situation.

"Old Wu, tell me the truth, how long will it take for us to improve this tank?"

Old Wu pondered for a long time before slowly speaking, "Hmm... at least a year to start with."

"A year..." Chairman He Biwei had a premonition, but hearing Old Wu say this still disheartened him.

He had heard that Northern Naval Industry only took less than two months to develop the BH90 Tank, a gap that was truly unacceptable.

"Chairman Xu, the Chairman Xu of Southwestern Industrial has arrived and is waiting for you in your office," the assistant's words interrupted Chairman He Biwei's thoughts.

He's here again? Chairman He Biwei was puzzled. This time, the people from Southwestern Industrial were probably here with a hidden agenda.

But since they had already made an appointment, he might as well see him.

Leaving the stuffy workshop, Chairman He Biwei returned to his office.

Pushing open the door, he saw Wang Qiancheng, the Chairman Xu of Southwestern Industrial, leisurely sipping tea on the sofa, looking completely at ease.

Chairman He Biwei forced a smile and walked over, "Chairman Wang, what brings you here?"

Wang Qiancheng stood up, the fat on his face jiggling with his smile, and said cheerfully, "Hey, it's nothing big, I just wanted to chat with you, and while I'm at it... gossip a little about Northern Naval Industry."

Chairman He Biwei didn't believe the first half of Wang Qiancheng's sentence at all, but the second half made his heart stir.

This time, Wang Qiancheng was surprisingly direct.

"Oh? What's new at Northern Naval Industry?" He slowly sat down while pouring himself a cup of tea, trying to gauge Wang Qiancheng's intentions.

"I heard that the 316 Military Factory now has over four thousand employees, doubling its original size," Wang Qiancheng said mysteriously.

"And then?" Chairman He Biwei tried to keep his tone calm, but his face became increasingly serious.

"Old He, if I remember correctly, if Northern Naval Industry's license hadn't been protected until the end of the year, it would have been merged into your Northern Industries by now, right?" Wang Qiancheng looked at Chairman He Biwei with a half-smile.

Chairman He Biwei's face completely darkened, "What exactly do you want to say?" He stared intently into Wang Qiancheng's eyes, trying to find an answer.

And Wang Qiancheng smiled even more broadly, knowing that his words had successfully piqued Chairman He Biwei's interest.

"I have a brilliant plan that can make Northern Naval Industry unable to hold on until the end of the year."

"Are you interested in hearing it?" Chairman He Biwei scoffed dismissively, clearly not believing him.

"When did your Southwestern Industrial become so enthusiastic? Are you also concerned about Northern Naval Industry?"

Wang Qiancheng did not get angry and still responded with a smile, "To be honest, this is none of my business.

However, I don't want the four major military industries to become a three-legged standoff."

Besides, are you really willing to see that kid Xu Ning slip away right under your nose?"

The office suddenly fell silent.

Chairman He Biwei stared at the teacup Wang Qiancheng was playing with, finally unable to contain his curiosity, "What exactly do you want?"

Wang Qiancheng burst into laughter, "Hahaha... My wish is simple, to make the 316 Military Factory disappear completely."

...

Time flies like a white steed across a gap; a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The construction of the new factory area was in full swing.

And the original dilapidated firing range of the 316 Military Factory was now completely renewed, transformed into a modern military testing ground.

The soldiers of the Spike Company strictly guarded the perimeter.

The walls were not only raised, but the dilapidated sections were also torn down and rebuilt.

Under Xu Ning's clever design, this site was meticulously divided into two major testing areas, land and air, with complex and varied environments, specifically built for testing weapon performance.

At this moment, in the Air Force weapons testing area, Xu Ning and the members of the experimental team stood under the observation area's canopy, collectively looking up at the sky.

Look, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

Although it was noon, it was as dark as night.

The heavy rain lashed down on the canopy like weapons, making a dense crackling sound.

Suddenly, a "buzzing" roar came from afar, and a strong beam of light tore through the dark rain curtain, like a guiding lighthouse in a storm.

Xu Ning squinted his eyes and saw a shiny black armed helicopter circling at a low altitude.

The huge rotor blades cut the raindrops into fine mist, weaving flexibly through the rain like a swimming spirit snake.

Even in such harsh weather, it frequently performed difficult flight maneuvers such as "S-shaped maneuvers" and "single-helicopter ballet."

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, instantly illuminating the entire firing range.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, the armed helicopter suddenly pulled up at a 90-degree angle, quickly completed a 180-degree nose turn, and then landed smoothly.

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded.

The performance in the heavy rain was simply spectacular.

Xu Ning excitedly raised his hands and was the first to applaud, and the members of the experimental team followed suit, applauding and cheering.

"Was that move just now the legendary Levisman?"

"That's right, that's it! I heard that this is the most difficult maneuver in helicopter flight, and ordinary helicopters can't do it."

"Being able to fly so well in this weather is truly amazing!"

"The people in our factory are really incredible.

This helicopter is definitely top-notch in the country."

"Even abroad, there are not many that can compare!"

Everyone was talking at once, while Xu Ning held an umbrella and walked towards the helicopter to greet the pilot, Zhan Jifeng.

"Senior Zhan Jifeng, your flying skills are truly superb.

You can fly a helicopter so well even in the rain," Xu Ning sincerely praised.

Zhan Jifeng walked down from the aircraft with a smile, patted the helicopter's outer shell, and said with deep emotion, "The performance of this armed helicopter is truly outstanding.

If it were a Z-5, you could kill me, and I wouldn't dare to fly like this.

I can say that this is the best armed helicopter I have ever flown, even more powerful than the Black Hawk helicopter."

"Our country finally has an armed helicopter that can compete with international standards," Zhan Jifeng said with great emotion.

He hadn't expected Xu Ning to actually achieve it.

Xu Ning quickly bowed to express his gratitude, "This is all because of your excellent flying skills.

If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't be able to achieve this level."

These words made Zhan Jifeng feel a little embarrassed, and he quickly waved his hand to show humility.

"Factory Director, you are too kind.

Since the test flight went well, I'll go back and report."

However, Xu Ning held Zhan Jifeng's hand tightly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've already told Uncle Zhong to extend the test flight time.

Just stay here with peace of mind; you will definitely be satisfied with the treatment."
