"The second method is to sell the weapons and equipment we produce!"

As soon as Lu Jiadong said this, both Chen Zhen, Qiao Junfeng and Yang Limin were stunned and could not believe their ears, so that Qiao Junfeng couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Xiao Lu, you... did you just say you sold weapons and equipment?"

"Yeah!" After hearing Qiao Junfeng's words, Lu Jiadong nodded with certainty: "That's right, it's just selling weapons and equipment!"

After receiving Lu Jiadong's reply, Chen Zhen and others confirmed that there was nothing wrong with their ears. However, they did not feel grateful for this. Instead, they wrote their worries on their faces. Chen Zhen, who had a further relationship with Lu Jiadong, said to Lu Jiadong with concern for his elders and worriedly:

"Xiao Lu, selling weapons and equipment is not a joke. You are still young and you cannot make such principled mistakes!"

"Yes, Jiadong!" As soon as Chen Zhen finished speaking, Qiao Junfeng, who was standing beside him, quickly took over the words: "We can't do this kind of thing just by slapping our heads and saying it. Besides, our country does not have corresponding policies. So, Jiadong, listen to Lao Qiao's advice and quickly give up this idea!"

"Old Qiao is right, Jiadong, there are some things that cannot be joked about!" Yang Limin looked even more nervous when he said this, and even the tone of his speech was a little out of tune.

Seeing the three of them worried about him, Lu Jiadong knew that Chen Zhen and others were sincerely considering him, and they were both kind and warm in their hearts. But even so, Chen Zhen and others' attitude towards selling weapons and equipment did not surprise Lu Jiadong. After all, at this time, the country had no policy and precedent for foreign arms sales. For a long time, China's weapons and equipment have gone abroad in the form of foreign aid, and are extremely sensitive to the term arms sales. Not to mention it as an ordinary military factory, even at the top management, they dare not mention it easily. Therefore, Chen Zhen and others were afraid to talk about it in this way.

Although Chen Zhen and others were afraid of arms sales, Lu Jiadong did not think there was anything wrong. After all, as a military expert who traveled through time from later generations, he knew clearly that arms sales will become an inevitable development in the future. It not only became a new economic growth point for China's military system, but also in some areas, arms sales not only supported these key military factories through difficulties, but also provided essential financial support for several key weapons and equipment for our army to develop!

It is precisely because of these reasons that Lu Jiadong did not answer Chen Zhen and others' words, but looked around and showed a faint smile: "Now our country's policies have been adjusted to reform and opening up, and the focus is on economic development. From the end of last year to now, we must have seen changes. Farmers can sell excess vegetables, fruits and eggs, and there are also reselling electronic watches on the street. Not to mention anything else, just say that the fat man Luo Haoluo, who came out of our factory, is not as trembling as before, and his business is getting more and more prosperous.

I want to say that the country's policies will gradually open up and commodities will gradually begin to circulate. Whether it is domestic sales or exports, policies will be more relaxed. In recent times, the local industrial bureau has been preparing a list of export foreign exchange earnings. Since civilian products can be exported and earnings, then as weapons and equipment produced by our military factories are also commodities, why can't they be exported and earnings?"

"But our weapons and equipment are not the same as civilian products, they have their own characteristics..."

"I think it is precisely the particularity of the weapons and equipment we produce, and the country will open up the road of arms sales!" Before Qiao Junfeng finished speaking, Lu Jiadong made a decisive judgment. At this time, Chen Zhen and Yang Limin, who were sitting next to him, couldn't help but lit up, and their worried expressions on their faces were slightly less, but Lu Jiadong did not stop for this:

"Old Yang just said that the new weapons and equipment projects have been cut off, and the entire military technology may stagnate. What's even more terrifying is that it will cause a gap in R&D talents, although we can use civilian products to maintain production line operation and the production and manufacturing capabilities of skilled workers.

However, as a research and development talent for military products, it is impossible to maintain this method, and military technology is even more impossible to talk about. At present, the situation of each research and development project being cut off and dismounted, and relying on the previous mechanisms and systems to maintain the R&D team is still not feasible. In this way, we can only seek external solutions!”

“External solution?”

"Yes! It's the external solution!" As soon as Yang Limin finished speaking, Lu Jiadong nodded without hesitation: "Although our country's weapons and equipment are not the most advanced in the world, they are not the most backward. However, many countries around the world cannot even make different bullets, let alone rifles. Such countries are naturally the dumping place for finished weapons and equipment.

But in addition to such backward countries, there are some countries that have a certain industrial foundation and unique weapons and equipment usage characteristics of their own country. These countries do not want to have the same mold carved weapons and equipment. They also hope to add some of their own characteristics on the original basis, and even directly ask for redesigns based on the actual situation of their country to obtain customized arms that belong to them only."

As he was talking, Lu Jiadong picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip and continued: "This is the case with the country B I have been to before. Because they have been hostile to the neighboring country Y and have rich practical experience in the troops, they have their own unique insights on the performance and use of weapons and equipment, especially on tanks and combat aircraft. Their philosophy is very different from ours.

Relying on these different concepts, we can customize special weapons and equipment for them. We must know that these weapons and equipment are not as simple as repairing and repairing on the original equipment. Sometimes it is no different from developing a new equipment. We can use such equipment to maintain the R&D team and cultivate reserve talents, and we can also check whether our existing equipment needs to be improved by obtaining some advanced thinking and tactical concepts from the purchasing country. This way of learning from our strengths and weaknesses will also be of great benefit to our future development of weapons and equipment!"

After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Yang Limin, who had always thought that technology was the first, couldn't help but frown and nodded slightly. Chen Zhen and Qiao Junfeng, who were taking the steady route, had also slightly lowered their worries, but their worried expressions were still hanging on their faces. Lu Jiadong just paused for a moment and then said:

"Of course, the purpose of customizing weapons and equipment for others is not only to maintain the R&D team, but the most important thing is to sell foreign exchange obtained after the sale of arms. Now foreign exchange is the most scarce resource. Not only do we need it, the army also needs it, and the country needs it. The arms trade is one of the most profitable industries in the world, whether it is the finished equipment we export in batches or the customized equipment developed for other countries.

They will be exchanged for a large amount of foreign exchange. These precious foreign exchange can not only support national construction, but also provide strong financial support for the military and the development of our military-industrial system. There are so many benefits. I think our country will no longer engage in military aid that is as long as it is faceless. Arms sales within the scope permitted by the state will become the mainstream in the future. You must know that our country now has those four words: seek truth from facts!"

The truthfulness of Chen Zhen was shocked, and then he kept muttering, "See truthfulness of facts... No matter whether it is black and white cats, catching a mouse is a good cat!" At the same time, his fingers rhythmically hit the armrests on the chair, and the thoughtful expression on his face was beyond words, and Qiao Junfeng and Yang Limin were also in deep thoughts.

Seeing this, Lu Jiadong didn't say another word because he knew that Chen Zhen and others were already a little moved, and it would be best not to say anything at this time, because Lu Jiadong knew that with Chen Zhen and others' rich experience in the years of storms, he could naturally determine the good or bad of foreign arms sales.

The facts are the same as Lu Jiadong guessed. You should know that Chen Zhen and others have experienced a lot of wind, frost, rain and snow, and their political sensitivity is also very sensitive, and they naturally have a clear judgment on the direction of national policies. So of course they know that although the country has reduced the production tasks and scientific research projects of the military industry system.

But it does not mean that the country will give up this important foundation of the country. Because of this, while reducing domestic production tasks, the country will definitely seek other solutions to make up for the military-industrial system. Foreign arms sales have become the most effective and direct method, and this is likely to become the focus of future military-industrial system reform!

Although I figured out this joint, Chen Zhen still had some concerns. Everything Lu Jiadong said sounded reasonable, but most of it was speculation. The country had no clear policy to say that this could be done. Since this is the case, it is unknown what will happen. Thinking of this, Chen Zhen frowned again:

"Xiao Lu, although what you said makes sense, the country has no relevant policies after all. Will we do this..."

Although Chen Zhen did not finish his words, Lu Jiadong could understand it, so the faint smile on his face became a little more serious: "Although the country does not have a policy, we should be better prepared for this. Once the country's policies in this regard are loosened, our factory can also seize the initiative immediately. You should know that our factory's Type 78, light automatic grenade launcher, and 130mm bottom row grenade are all first-class good things. You can definitely exchange a lot of foreign exchange for it when you get it in the international arms market!"

"Jiadong makes sense!" As soon as Lu Jiadong finished speaking, Qiao Junfeng couldn't help but nodded: "One is military-civilian integration, and the other is foreign arms sales. Both methods are both bold and operational. If the policy is really loose, it is indeed a rare recipe for two doses of our military-industrial system!"

After hearing Qiao Junfeng's words, Yang Limin agreed with a hint of joy: "Although Jiadong's ideas are unconventional, they are reasonable, so we should be prepared for it!"

After saying that, the people present focused their attention on the factory director Chen Zhen, and Chen Zhen glanced at the people present with his eyes, his face became extremely firm and serious, and his tone was even more powerful:

"Xiao Lu is right. Although there is no policy, he really needs such ideological preparation, otherwise it will not reflect our spirit of daring to be the first!"

Chen Zhen's words were final. Several people in the room showed bright smiles at this moment. At this moment, the door of the ward was gently knocked again. As Chen Zhen allowed the door to open, a strange man who looked about thirty years old, tall and indifferent, walked in and said to Chen Zhen in a plain but respectful tone:
Chapter completed!
