The meeting with Zhu Xuejun ended in such a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere, and she resolutely said that the problem of the integrated cooling system was left to them to solve, and there would be no difficulty.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and what Chen Nian doesn't know how to start in his opinion, when it comes to them, it is nothing.

This also put Chen Nian at ease.

Good guys, another savings.

At this point, the technical problems of DF-17 have been solved, and after Zhu Xuejun returns, it can immediately enter the application research and development stage.

It is estimated that it will not be long before this missile, which carries a lot of hope, will be able to point at that sea area.

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

Under the command of Zhang Guanfeng and the blessing of the Spark team's banknote ability, the project is running with amazing efficiency, and even the keel of the hull is ready and is about to enter the rhythm of full-scale construction.

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

Augusta glared angrily at the engineer in front of him and shouted:

"I said it! This kind of steel is not good! What I need is special steel for SM490YB ships! What are you giving me?! What you gave me was Q235 steel! This is completely out of our design! ”

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

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

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

The engineer on the other side looked at him innocently, and seemed not to be affected by his anger in the slightest, but replied in broken English in a daze:

"We're using SM490YB steel, you see, it's very clear on this purchase list"

"Are you fooling me?? I'm an engineer! What kind of steel, I can see at a glance! ”

"I really don't understand, why do you have to raise the bar with me, do you really not understand, or do you deliberately pretend to be stupid?!"

Augustus felt like he was going crazy, and in his decades of experience, he had never shown such hysteria as he did now.

It's just incomprehensible. How can anyone point to Q235 steel, but not say that it is SM490YB steel?

It's as outrageous as if you were pointing to a wild cat and saying it was a cougar who had killed countless people!

No, it's even more outrageous

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

Do they really not know?

Or do they know very well in their hearts that they just want to get by?

What's in it for them anyway?

Stupid, stupid!

Augustus walked around irritably, his mind constantly flashing back to what he had been through for more than a month.

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

On the contrary, the other party is repeatedly taught

Something had to be done.

This is not because of how dedicated he is to the Vietnamese side, but because he has to take care of his company's reputation.

If unqualified steel is used in this way, who will suffer by the final acceptance?

Not VOSTA LMG yet!

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

"Let's go."

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

With that, Augustus turned back to his desk, took out his report on the inspection of steel, and then left the office without looking back, got into the car and went straight to the shipyard door.

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

He had to find his own reinforcements.

And the best reinforcement is the military personnel who talked to him about cooperation at the beginning.

Nguyen Hoa Kai!

The man was a hard-liner and had received a Western-style education, so it would be easier to communicate with him.

Two hours later, Augustus arrived at a military base in Hanoi, and after making phone calls and confirming his identity, he finally met Nguyen Hoa Khai.

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

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

Listening to Ruan Huakai's standard British accent, Augustus's mood immediately improved a lot.

He sighed and said bluntly:

"Mr. Ruan, things are not going well, and this is also the purpose of my visit to you today."

"I thought, if you have time, we can find a place to talk, there are some questions, I need your help."

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

He took 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 is it that makes 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 little thing, right?"

Augustus's heart sank, and he suddenly realized that the person sitting across from him was not a good man.

Moreover, they seem to have just suffered a heavy blow at sea, and it is a little unwise to come to him now

But. Do you really not 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."

"In fact, the problem is with the shipyard"

Augustus added fuel to the story from beginning to end, especially magnifying the pernicious effects of "corruption."

His purpose is very simple, that is, to provoke Ruan Huakai's psychological defense, so that he realizes that VOSTA LMG is on his side and wants to really solve the problem.

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

Such a strategy works.

Ruan Huakai's expression on the opposite side became more and more solemn, and his eyes became more and more cold.

When Augustus had finally finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then spoke:

"I see, Mr. Augustus."

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

"Thank you very much for your timely feedback, I admire your work ethic."

"Now, I'd like to ask you to join me on this issue - this is to show our determination, is that okay?"

Augustus nodded, not refusing.

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

It's not a dirty trick, as long as it solves the problem, it's worth it.

So, two hours later, Augustus set off from the barracks with Ruan Huakai and went straight to the shipyard.

But to his surprise, the soldiers who set off with the team seemed to be a little too much?

What is this for?

Arrest? Liwei?

That's not going to take so many people.

Augustus was a little puzzled, but he didn't want to ask much.

However, when he arrived at the shipyard, his questions were answered immediately.

Ruan Huakai gathered all the people in the entire shipyard together.

In the square, inside are the employees of the shipyard, and outside, there are soldiers with loaded guns.

Immediately after, he began to take the roll call one by one, according to the information provided to him by Augustus before.

"Zheng Weihui!"

Ruan Huakai shouted.

"Here!"

A small middle-aged man trembled and stepped forward, his face was full of horror, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the pistol in Ruan Huakai's hand, but he quickly withdrew it.

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

This Zheng Weihui, who once violated his own process requirements and replaced the welding consumables specified by VOSTA LMG with cheaper welding consumables, was discovered by himself and warned many times before finally correcting himself.

And now, Ruan Huakai called him out in front of everyone, is it just a few criticisms?

The gun in his hand was loaded

He's going to kill someone!

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

——

What's the matter with you?

Perhaps, here, only killing is useful?

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

"Li Wenshi!"

"Here!"

"Chen Youting!"

"To"

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

Then, Ruan Huakai walked up to them and said with an indifferent expression:

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

"Today, I don't want to explain anything to you, and I won't listen to any of your explanations."

"There's only one thing I'm going to do."

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

"I have obtained approval from my superiors to use special trial powers against you."

"The sin you have committed is treason."

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

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

Half of his skull was blown off, and the red and white stuff flowed to the ground.

Augustus almost vomited, although he had been mentally prepared, but when all this happened, he found that he was still too vulnerable.

What's going on?

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

Moreover, he will obviously not bear any consequences, and there will even be superiors who applaud him for his "iron-fisted methods".

Sure enough, the "collapse corruption" that the country is facing has already caused serious consequences

For most of the rest of the day, Augustus lived in a state of confusion.

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 secretly thought in his heart that this matter would at least bring some benefits to his work.

There are only other issues that you don't need to think about.

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

Looking at the other party's frightened expression, he comforted softly:

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

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

The man on the opposite side nodded repeatedly, 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 spoke:

"But, that's already SM490YB steel."

Augustus froze in place.

He looked at the man in disbelief, then at the steel piled up next to him.

He knows that this is Q235 steel.

Yes, the new man knows that too.

However, he was told that it was SM490YB steel.

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

Augustus' face was filled with pity, sorrow, anger, and helplessness.

Finally, he nodded.

"Okay."

"I see."

"Yes, that's SM490YB steel."
