Chapter 429: As the delegation head, leading the team overseas for negotiations

One month later.

Lin Shengli, as the head of the national delegation, led the team to Hans Guo for negotiations.

Their main purpose for this trip was to negotiate with the Hans People to purchase Hans Guo's 'Twelve-phase rectifier generator'.

This is a key project of the national navy, and cannot afford to fail.

This is also to prepare to replace the power system of the new conventional submarine (039-type submarine).

And this 039-type submarine was precisely developed by Lin Shengli leading his team.

During the Wind Rising period, for the sake of his own and his family's safety, Lin Shengli moved to the second line.

When the Wind Rising ended, things had changed, people were no longer the same.

After a few years, the somewhat disheartened him went to Gangdao, living with Lou Xiao'e and his two sons for a period.

After discovering that Gangdao was a world blending Hong Kong films, he immediately became interested.

Unfortunately, his stay in Gangdao was not long; he returned in the mid-1980s.

Because he had already been promoted to Lieutenant General, the 78-year-old Li Yunlong fell seriously ill, wanting to see him one last time and say goodbye.

After returning, under the leadership's arrangement, he entered a Ya gang chang as chief engineer.

By the late 1980s, after developing some special steels, it caught the attention of the military leaders.

Upon hearing that he had already developed some advanced machines before the Wind Rising, the military leaders became even more interested in him.

After reviewing his materials and speaking with him, they were eager to let him join the military to contribute to national defense.

He agreed on the spot.

He originally loved the country that gave him birth and raised him, but due to some reasons, he never had the chance to contribute to national defense.

Now that such an opportunity has arisen, he certainly will not miss it.

As soon as he entered the military, the leaders, making an exception, gave him the rank of Captain.

In just a year's time, he led his team to develop the 039-type conventional submarine.

Leaders at all levels were also very satisfied with this.

Know that their plan originally required at least two years to succeed.

Whereas Lin Shengli and his team used only one year.

This also led to his extraordinary promotion to Lieutenant Colonel.

His capable assistant, his 26-year-old eldest son Lin Zhengpeng, was also extraordinarily promoted to Captain.

In fact, the state had already planned as early as the mid-to-late 1980s to develop a new conventional submarine, simultaneously deciding to begin construction in the early 1990s.

However, due to Lin Shengli's sudden emergence, the start of construction was moved forward.

Although they had successfully developed it, his developed generator still had many shortcomings.

This was also due to the lack of a sample for reference and study.

Know that the system he possesses is the 'Heaven rewards diligence' system; only through continuous learning can he master more techniques and continually grow stronger.

If he had no prior exposure, relying solely on imagination, even if he were a top student from an engineering university, it would not suffice.

Rather than spending large amounts of time and funds on independent R&D, it would be better to purchase advanced samples for study.

As long as he is allowed to see the sample, through continual learning and exploration, he can successfully develop a product superior to the sample.

Therefore, after discussing with the leaders, he led the team to Hans Guo.

Starting from the late 1970s, the state's relations with Western countries began to ease, mainly maintaining friendly ties with the White Eagle.

From that time onward, the state also began to import large quantities of Western weapons and military equipment, etc.

However, in the mid-to-late 1980s, some White Eagles began to look unfavorably upon us.

Later, they even rallied allies to impose sanctions.

At the end of last year, a certain major power collapsed; Western societies celebrated, even assuming our country would collapse, thus their sanctions against us began to loosen.

Precisely for this reason, Hans Guo agreed to sell us the 'Twelve-phase rectifier generator'.

At this time.

The 'Twelve-phase rectifier generator' is the highest-performance generator system, and only a few Western developed countries have put it into military use.

This equipment surpasses all our existing generators in power, safety level, and noise level.

Lin Shengli felt it was very necessary to purchase a set.

Buying it to disassemble and study, he could soon develop a generator better than this.

Meanwhile.

He also wanted to take advantage of this window to purchase more advanced weapons and military equipment.

No need to buy many; buying just one will suffice.

With one, he could develop something even more advanced than this.

If some core components cannot be bought, he would find a way to observe them.

As long as he gets to see them, he can also develop something more advanced, albeit at the cost of somewhat more time and effort.

But for the sake of national defense construction, he fears neither hardship nor fatigue.

Precisely because he harbored this idea, he led the team to Hans Guo.

The Hans People are very arrogant, especially upon seeing Lin Shengli, who is so young.

He is practically a young whippersnapper just out of his teens.

They certainly do not know that Lin Shengli is already in his forties.

However, this does not affect Lin Shengli's mood.

Moreover, they now have the right to be arrogant—who let our technology fall behind?

But Lin Shengli believes that although they now ignore me, later I will make them unable to catch up.

Later, there will be plenty of time for them to come begging me.

The ones greeting Lin Shengli were several Hans men.

The welcome banquet, however, added a blond-haired, blue-eyed Hans beauty—?? Hanna.

Lin Shengli's eyes also lit up involuntarily.

A beauty? Which man wouldn't have his eyes light up at the sight?

After the banquet ended, his son, also his capable assistant Lin Zhengpeng, asked:

"Dad, want to go out for a walk and enjoy the night view of Hans?"

Lin Shengli nodded. "Alright, just the two of us will go out for a walk."

"Such an opportunity is too rare."

Actually, Lin Zhengpeng had long known that the?? Hanna at the banquet had taken a liking to his father.

His dad is so handsome and talented; it's normal for Western beauties to be open-minded and take a liking to him.

His current mood is also rather complicated.

After walking out of the hotel with his dad, he began to feel a bit regretful.

Because Hanna was still at the banquet table.

Before that, he had even hinted to his dad, asking him to keep her company for a drink a while longer.

If everyone leaves, will Hanna then launch an attack on his dad?

He thought that was quite possible.

Hanna's enthusiasm for his dad was really over the top.

Now that we've come out, has this opportunity been missed?

From childhood onward, his dad has been heaven in his eyes.

He's an all‑talented genius—there's nothing his dad can't do.

Of course, the key is that his dad has always doted on him.

His dad has worked hard half his life; now he too has become successful, so it's time to stop and enjoy his blessings.

But his dad is still struggling on the front lines.

Naturally, he also feels proud of that.

But at the same time he feels his dad should enjoy himself more.

If he could have a beautiful romance with a foreign beauty in a foreign land...

That would certainly be a good thing.

But he also feels that would not be right.

Because it would be letting down his equally beloved mother.

After walking and thinking for a while, he decided to stop worrying about it all.

After all, this is an adult matter.

He would rather believe that his dad's feelings for his mom are unbreakable.

So he walked a bit longer, then excused himself as tired and returned to the hotel.

Just as he walked back to the hotel entrance, he happened to meet?? Hanna coming out, her steps a little wobbly—clearly she had drunk quite a bit.
