Chapter 520
"And the expansion of military factories!"
"I also have a very good idea!"
"Hmm?"
The Great Leader perked up again.
"What idea?"
"Xijing 51 Heavy Industry, do you know it? My family owns it!"
"What do you mean?"
The Great Leader still had an impression of 51 Heavy Industry, a private enterprise that started with heavy industry, with strong strength, and had entered the world's top 500 relying on industry...
However, at this time, why did Song Qi report his family background?
Showing off?
People who can sit here really wouldn't take a 51 Heavy Industry seriously...
Or do you want us to give 51 Heavy Industry a hand?
This doesn't fit Song Qi's temper either...
The next second, Song Qi's voice came again, instantly making everyone dumbfounded...
"My dad promised me back then! He would definitely do his best to help my career! Now, it's time for him to contribute!"
"Leaders, I am willing to donate all of our family's factories! Expand them into military factories!"
"Let's start with 51 Heavy Industry!"
Song Qi's clean and clear voice echoed in everyone's ears.
The generals looked at each other, and anyone could see the confusion in the other's eyes.
The conference room fell into an eerie silence.
This?
What the hell is going on?
Since ancient times, I've seen people seeking personal gain through power, and people using public office for private gain...
Countless people have used power to seek personal gain for their families and frantically fished for benefits.
But I've really never seen someone like Song Qi, rushing to have his family property confiscated!
What is Song Qi's intention in doing this?
Is he trying to remind everyone that 51 Heavy Industry is his family's property and shouldn't be touched?
That doesn't make sense either!
With Song Qi's status in the Dragon Kingdom, even if he didn't say it, no one would dare to touch a hair of 51 Heavy Industry!
Thinking of this, everyone became even more confused.
"Little Song..."
"I think this is unnecessary! 51 Heavy Industry is your family business after all..."
"How about? You think about it again?"
"Think about it?"
Song Qi shook his head very firmly.
What's there to think about!
You guys hurry up and take away that old man's factory!
Once 51 Heavy Industry is confiscated and the hundreds of billions in family assets are gone.
Wouldn't I never have to inherit the family property in this life and go live that boring life without worries?
Wonderful!
Thinking of this, a trace of firmness clearly appeared in Song Qi's eyes.
"No need to think about it!"
"I believe my old man will definitely understand my intentions!"
"Notify the troops to go and take over the 51 Heavy Industry factories tomorrow!"
Song Qi's firm voice came through.
Watching the scene in front of them, the other generals in the conference room were moved to tears.
What is called a "national scholar"!
What the hell is called "relieving the country's difficulties"!
Song Qi, in everyone's eyes at this moment, could no longer be described as a human; he was a god radiating golden light!
Spending his whole life racking his brains for the development of the Dragon Kingdom and contributing his wisdom is one thing!
Now, he is even willing to have his family's hundreds of billions in assets confiscated!
Everyone present asked themselves, if I were Song Qi, could I do this for the Dragon Kingdom?
The answer is obviously no!
Looking at Song Qi, who was still smiling brilliantly, the Great Leader also had red eyes before he knew it.
His voice was a bit choked...
"Then... let's do as Little Song says!"
"In the future, if our Dragon Kingdom achieves victory in the war, we will definitely not forget the contributions of your Song family..."
Looking at the red-eyed generals in front of him, Song Qi scratched his head in confusion.
Vaguely, he always felt something was wrong.
But he just couldn't put his finger on it.
"It's okay!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember..."
"..."
On the other side, Xijing City, 51 Heavy Industry headquarters building.
Song Song Shanhai was wrapped in a quilt, blowing the air conditioning, when he suddenly started sneezing violently, and his right eyelid kept twitching.
"Strange?"
"Why do I always have a bad premonition in my heart?"
"Left eye twitches for wealth, right eye twitches... forget it, feudal superstition is not credible!"
That afternoon.
A phone call went directly to Song Song Shanhai's office.
Song Song Shanhai glanced at the number; it was from the military region...
In an instant, Song Song Shanhai perked up.
The last time the military region called, it was to inform him that Song Qi had recovered.
Calling this time, it's probably about Little Qi too.
Maybe?
Little Qi has made some achievement again?
Hahahaha!
My Little Qi is truly the pride of our old Song family!
Song Song Shanhai picked up the receiver happily, but the words on the other side left Song Song Shanhai frozen in place...
"Hello! Hello, is this Mr. Song Song Shanhai, chairman of the 51 Heavy Industry Group? My military intends to requisition the group under your name..."
?
A big question mark slowly floated out of Song Song Shanhai's head.
Requisition 51 Heavy Industry?
What is this situation?
I don't seem to have ever said that I wanted to donate 51 Heavy Industry...
For a time, countless thoughts flashed through Song Song Shanhai's mind.
Peer sabotage, malicious competition, scam calls...
But they were all denied by Song Song Shanhai...
Freedom Nation, White Palace, President’s office.
Outside the window, the sun was bright. The President held a coffee cup, gazing at the scene of pedestrians walking their dogs outside, while listening to the report from his secretary, Shi Shi Misi.
"Mr. President! We have received a battle report from General Li Li Qiwei on the front line. Our forces previously launched a surprise attack on the northwestern corner controlled by the Long Nation, attempting to use blitzkrieg tactics to tear open a gap."
"But unfortunately, the Long Nation's resistance was too tenacious, and a large number of reinforcements arrived very quickly!"
"This probing engagement did not achieve the expected results..."
"Hmm."
President President President Baideng took a sip of coffee, a flash of indecipherable emotion crossing his eyes.
This battle was destined not to be so smooth.
Therefore, it was within reason that Li Li Qiwei's military operation did not achieve the expected results.
After all, if the Long Nation were truly that easy to deal with, he wouldn't have suffered so many major setbacks before!
The reason President President Baideng chose to launch the war at this time—
Aside from the fact that the oil shortage was indeed too severe.
The upcoming midterm elections in the Freedom Nation were also a very important reason.
After several crushing defeats, his, President President Baideng's, current approval rating within the Freedom Nation had dropped to an appalling level.
His competitor, Chuan Jianguo, was now eyeing the position covetously, and his approval rating was nearly twenty percentage points higher than his own.
It could be said that as soon as the midterm elections began, he, President President Baideng, would surely lose!
Once Chuan Jianguo took office, all his previous layouts and schemes would be destroyed in one fell swoop!
Therefore, President President Baideng chose this juncture to proactively provoke a war.
Because according to the Freedom Nation's constitution, as long as the country is in a state of large-scale war, the incumbent President can skip the midterm elections and continue their term unconditionally.
President President Baideng drained the coffee in his cup.
Then he gently placed the coffee cup on the table.
"Tell Li Li Qiwei that this is a large-scale war; there is no need to be overly hasty with anything..."
"Understood!"
Shi Shi Misi, standing to the side, nodded upon hearing this and recorded President President Baideng's words in his notebook, word for word.
"Oh, right!"
President President Baideng's voice came again.
"How is the domestic military industry recovering now?"
"Are the supplies for the soldiers being kept up?"
"Reporting to the President, everything is normal."
Shi Shi Misi pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued to add.
"Currently, our military factories have begun operating at full capacity! Our advanced war equipment is being manufactured in Latin America, sourcing materials from Latin America and the Maple Nation, and then assembled by those countries in the European Union!"
"Of course, the final core technology remains in the hands of our Freedom Nation. The most core parts of the equipment are manufactured by us in the Freedom Nation!"
"Production has been fully ramped up!"
"The scale of this industrial chain is no worse than the Long Nation's! Furthermore, the workers are proficient in the manufacturing of military equipment!"
"The entire Freedom Continent and the European Union are our own enclosed territories; based on the Long Nation's level of military industry!"
"They are still far from being our match!"
Listening to Shi Shi Misi's assertive voice.
President President Baideng, standing to the side, also nodded gently.
This was the root cause of why the Freedom Nation dared to fight, even knowing that the Long Nation possessed the strongest industrial system on the entire planet.
After so many years of so-called economic globalization.
The Freedom Nation had long since firmly grasped the Maple Nation to the north and the various Latin American countries to the south in its palm!
The Freedom Nation lacked labor and labor was expensive, but Latin America did not!
The Freedom Nation lacked resources, but now it sat upon an entire Freedom Continent, occupying nearly a quarter of the planet's land; what resources could it possibly lack?
Plus the advanced industrial system of the European Union!
