The meeting with Zhu Xuejun ended in such a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere. She firmly stated that the problem of the integrated cooling system will be left to them to solve, and there will be no difficulty.

There are specialties in the art industry, and what Chen Nian thinks is impossible to do, but to them, it is nothing.

This also made Chen Nian feel relieved.

Dude, another savings.

So far, all the technical problems of DF-17 have been solved, and after Zhu Xuejun returns, he can immediately enter the application research and development stage.

It is estimated that it will not be long before this missile, which carries many hopes, can point to that piece of sea area.

At the same time, the design work of the Sky Whale was also completed.

Under the command of Zhang Guanfeng and the blessing of the Xinghuo team's financial ability, the project is running with amazing efficiency, and even the keel of the hull is ready, and it will soon enter the rhythm of full-scale construction.

The whole project team is busy and working in full swing, but on the other hand, in the temporary project department of VOSTA LMG, the situation is completely different.

Augusta stared angrily at the engineer in front of him, and shouted loudly:

"I said! This kind of steel is not good! What I need is SM490YB special steel for ships! What did you give me?! What you gave me is Q235 steel! This does not meet our design requirements at all!"

"I've said this question many times! I don't want to repeat it!"

"Are you listening to me? Why are you so stubborn?! If you don't trust our ability, then you can find someone else to do it, there is no need to find us!"

"Do you understand?! I ask you if you understand!?"

The engineer on the opposite side looked at him innocently, seemingly unaffected by his anger, and just replied in broken English in a daze:

"We use SM490YB steel, you see, it is clearly written on the purchase list"

"Do you think I'm an idiot?? I'm an engineer! I can tell what kind of steel it is at a glance!"

"I really don't understand, why do you have to argue with me, do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be stupid?!"

Augustus felt that he was going crazy. He had been in the industry for decades, and he had never acted as hysterical as he was now.

This is really incomprehensible. How can someone point to Q235 steel and insist that it is SM490YB steel?

It's as outrageous as pointing at a wild cat and insisting that it is a cougar that has killed countless people!

No, it's even more outrageous

Because in order to convince themselves that it is SM490YB steel, they also specially forged the purchase list

Do they really not know?

Or, they are very clear in their hearts, but they just want to get away with it?

What good does it do them anyway? ?

Stupid, stupid!

Augustus walked up and down irritably, flashing through his mind the things he had experienced in the past month or so.

Yes, this is not the first time something like this has happened.

On the contrary, the other party is persistent

There must be a way.

This is not because he has devoted himself to serving the Vietnamese side, but because he has to take into account the reputation of his company.

If unqualified steel is used in this way, who will suffer the loss when it is finally accepted?

Not VOSTA LMG yet!

Thinking of this, he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said indifferently:

"You go."

"I will find a way to solve this matter, I don't need you anymore."

After all, Augustus turned back to his desk, took out his steel inspection report, and then left the office without looking back, got in the car and went straight to the gate of the shipyard.

Now he already feels that the entire shipyard is rotten, and if he wants to solve the problem, he must no longer rely on internal strength.

He had to find his reinforcements.

And the best reinforcements are the military personnel who talked about cooperation with him at the beginning.

Ruan Huakai!

That person is a hardliner and has received a Western-style education. It must be easier to communicate with him.

Two hours later, Augustus arrived at a certain military base in Hanoi. After making a phone call and confirming his identity, he finally met Ruan Huakai.

The other party was surprised by his arrival, but still warmly greeted him.

"Mr. Augustus, long time no see. Isn't the shipyard busy? How come you have time to come and see me?"

Listening to Ruan Huakai's standard British accent, Augustus immediately felt a lot better.

He sighed and said bluntly:

"Mr. Ruan, things are not going well, and that's why I came to you today."

"I think, if you have time, we can find a place to chat. I have some questions and I need your help."

Hearing his words, Ruan Huakai's expression instantly became serious.

He brought Augustus into his office, closed the door, and said:

"Now, Mr. Augustus, tell me about your problem."

"I want to know what kind of thing will make you have to come to me."

"I agree with the strength of VOSTA LMG. You won't come to me for help just because of a small matter?"

Augustus shuddered. He suddenly realized that the person sitting opposite him was not a good person.

Moreover, they seem to have just suffered a serious injury at sea, and it is a bit unwise to come to him now

But... really don't say it? ?

It must be said.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Mr. Ruan, I have to tell you that this is not a problem that any third-party company can solve."

"Actually, the problem is with the shipyards"

Augustus recounted the matter from beginning to end with embellishments, especially emphasizing the bad influence of "corruption".

His purpose is very simple, it is to provoke Ruan Huakai's psychological defense and make him realize that VOSTA LMG is on his side and wants to really solve the problem.

Therefore, he must establish a powerful enemy, and this enemy is the shipyard.

Such a strategy works well.

Ruan Huakai on the opposite side looked more and more solemn, and his eyes became more and more cold.

When Augustus finally finished speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief, and then said:

"I see, Mr. Augustus."

"It's a really big problem and I'm going to work on it right away."

"Thank you very much for your timely feedback. I admire your professional ethics."

"Now, I would like to ask you to join me in dealing with this issue - this is to express our determination, okay?"

Augustus nodded without refusing.

He knew that he had to stand in front and be a "bad guy".

This is not a dirty trick, as long as it can solve the problem, it is worth it.

So, two hours later, Augustus followed Ruan Huakai from the barracks and headed straight for the shipyard.

But what surprised him was that there seemed to be too many soldiers accompanying the team?

What is this for?

Arrests? Liwei?

That's not enough to use that many people.

Augustus couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't ask too many questions.

However, after arriving at the shipyard, his questions were immediately answered.

Ruan Huakai gathered everyone in the entire shipyard together.

In the square, inside are the employees of the shipyard, and outside, there are soldiers with live ammunition.

Immediately afterwards, he began to roll the names one by one according to the information provided to him by Augustus.

"Zheng Weihui!"

Ruan Huakai shouted loudly.

"arrive!"

A small middle-aged man came out tremblingly, his face was full of horror, his eyes subconsciously looked at the pistol in Ruan Huakai's hand, but he quickly retracted it.

Augustus stood aside in a daze, he had already guessed what Ruan Huakai was going to do.

This Zheng Weihui once violated his own process requirements and replaced the welding consumables specified by VOSTA LMG with cheaper welding consumables without authorization. After being discovered by himself and warned many times, he finally corrected it.

And now, Ruan Huakai called him out in front of everyone, was it just to criticize him?

The gun in his hand is loaded

He is going to kill!

Augustus subconsciously wanted to stop him, but he stopped suddenly.

——

What's the matter with me?

Perhaps, here, only killing is useful?

So, he didn't move, just watched quietly.

"Li Wenshi!"

"arrive!"

"Chen Youting!"

"arrive"

One name after another was called, and soon, there was a row of more than a dozen people standing in the open space.

Afterwards, Ruan Huakai walked up to them and said indifferently:

"What you have done, you know in your own heart."

"Today, I don't want to explain anything to you, nor will I listen to any explanation from you."

"There's only one thing I want to do."

"That is, let you know the consequences of doing so."

"I have obtained the approval of my superiors to use special jurisdiction against you."

"The crime you have committed is treason."

Then, without waiting for anyone to react, the gun in Ruan Huakai's hand rang.

The man named Chen Youting, who took the Q235 steel for SM290YB steel, fell straight backwards.

Half of his skull was blown off, and the red and white stuff flowed all over the floor.

Augustus was about to vomit, although he had already prepared himself mentally, but when all this happened, he found that he was still too fragile.

What's the matter?

In a modern society, in a modern country, a soldier can use such a method to directly shoot a civilian!

Moreover, he obviously will not bear any consequences, and even his superiors will applaud his "iron fist method".

Sure enough, the "collapsing corruption" facing this country has already caused serious consequences

For most of the next day, Augustus lived in a muddle.

He didn't even know how Ruan Huakai left, nor how the remaining "sinners" survived.

It wasn't until late at night that he gradually came back to his senses.

He thought to himself, at least this matter would bring some benefits to his work.

There are only other issues that I don't need to consider.

So, he walked out of the office and found the man who replaced Chen Youting.

Seeing the terrified expression of the other party, he comforted softly:

"Don't worry, it's over."

"As long as you do things seriously in the future, I guarantee you will be safe."

The man on the opposite side nodded again and again, Augustus sighed and continued:

"Now, do as I say."

"Go and replace these Q235 steels with SM490YB steels."

After speaking, he quietly waited for the other party's answer.

The man hesitated for a moment, then said:

"But, that's already SM490YB steel"

Augustus froze in place.

He looked at the man in disbelief, and then at the pile of steel next to him.

He knew that this was Q235 steel.

Yes, the new man knew it too.

However, someone told him that this is SM490YB steel.

Therefore, he had to change the name of Q235 steel.

Augustus showed pity, sorrow, anger, but helplessness on his face.

Finally, he nodded.

"All right."

"I understand."

"Yes, this is SM490YB steel."
