Chapter 86: Don't Make a Move?

Ye Huang was not particularly surprised or puzzled to see Chu Qingkuang suddenly standing there in a daze. The electromagnetic catapult is something that would elicit this kind of reaction even from the Chairman of the Central Military Commission, let alone Uncle Chu.

After all, although this is just a technology, it plays a pivotal role in the country's maritime strategy. It could even enable the navy to catch up with and surpass the United States in the next twenty years.

However, Ye Huang clearly underestimated the importance of the electromagnetic catapult in Chu Qingkuang's heart. Watching him, Ye Huang was surprised to find that this iron-blooded general's eyes were moist, with tears glistening and his excitement palpable.

"Uncle Chu, are you okay?" Ye Huang was somewhat startled to see him in tears.

"No... nothing. Nephew Ye, I really don't know how to thank you! With this, our country's navy will truly undergo a transformation. We won't have to endure the humiliation we've faced in the past!"

Thinking about how the country's maritime borders are often harassed by neighboring countries, even by small nations, Chu Qingkuang felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

As a soldier, the greatest disgrace is not being able to protect the borders. Although the country has invested a lot of manpower and resources in strengthening maritime defense in recent years, without an aircraft carrier as a mobile strategic platform, many things are much more difficult.

If the country had a few aircraft carriers, who among the small nations to the south would dare to act so arrogantly, stealing our country's mineral resources?

"Uncle Chu, you're too kind. I obtained this from someone else, and it was of no use to me. Giving it to the military will strengthen national defense."

"Your patriotism is truly commendable! Rest assured, we will fully digest this technology within three years. When our country's electromagnetic catapult-equipped aircraft carriers are launched, I don't think those scoundrels will dare to act so arrogantly."

"Nephew Ye, can you show me the thing first? Although we've talked about it, I haven't seen the real thing, and I'm still a bit uneasy."

"Sure!" Nodding, Ye Huang said to Chu Tiange.

"Tiange, turn on the computer. The data is stored on the hard drive."

"Okay, Big Brother!" Chu Tiange walked to the desk and turned on his father's computer. Ye Huang then opened his silver briefcase, took out a silver USB drive from the compartment, and inserted it into the computer's USB port.

Chu Qingkuang quickly moved closer. When he saw the genuine data on the computer screen, his face twitched as he struggled to control his excitement. He turned to his son and said,

"Tiange, call the First Special Operations Brigade of the military district. Order them to come here immediately. I want them to escort this data directly to the capital. I will personally hand it over to the Chairman!"

"Dad? Is it really that urgent?" Chu Tiange was somewhat surprised by his father's decisive action.

In his memory, his father rarely lost his composure when faced with something.

"You don't understand! This thing is of utmost importance to our country. To put it bluntly, if we can equip our military with this within five years, we will become the second superpower. Do you understand?"

"That's why I must send this to the Chairman in the capital to ensure everything goes smoothly."

"Nephew Ye, you have done a great service this time. I will request the Chairman to commend you. What reward do you want?"

Staring at Ye Huang, Chu Qingkuang said. He knew Ye Huang was not a fool. Although part of his motivation for handing this over to the military was for the country, everyone has their own goals. He didn't believe someone like Ye Huang would have none.

"Ha ha, Uncle Chu, you're too kind. I have no special requests. Living a comfortable life in Yucheng is all I need. This thing is a burden to me, and I have no ulterior motives in handing it over to the country."

"That won't do! Contributions should be rewarded, and the military is strict about rewards and punishments."

Hearing that Ye Huang had no specific requests, Chu Qingkuang was taken aback for a moment, then said,

"Alright, then how about a special badge from the National Security Special Operations Department? It might come in handy if you need to intimidate someone."

"Sure! That's no problem. If you want to become a colonel in the military, I can arrange that too. By the way, Nephew Ye, do you have any plans to join the military?"

This Nephew Ye is a rare gem, and Chu Qingkuang naturally wanted to recruit him if possible.

"Ha ha, Uncle Chu, I have no plans to join the military. I don't like being constrained, and I might cause trouble in the military. I prefer to live a free and easy life."

"If you need my help, I won't refuse." At this moment, the most important thing was to establish a connection with the military without being bound by it, so Ye Huang spoke tactfully.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you. In short, if you need any help from Uncle Chu in the future, just let me know, and I'll do my best."

Chu Qingkuang was extremely generous, knowing that Ye Huang, as a killer, naturally resists being controlled. If he were really sent to the military, who knows what trouble he might cause.

His military unit had a few promising talents, and it would be a significant loss if they were to be ruined by him.

"Understood! If I need help, I will definitely seek Uncle Chu's assistance. Since you're heading to the capital, I won't keep you any longer."

After flattering Chu Qingkuang, Ye Huang prepared to leave. His goal for today had been achieved, and there was no need to stay longer.

"Alright, let's have a drink together another day when Uncle Chu cooks for us!"

"Definitely! Uncle Chu, I'll take my leave now!"

"Go ahead."

"Oh, right, Nephew Ye, I hope you don't make a move against Feng Tian while he's in Yucheng!" Just as Ye Huang was about to turn and leave, Chu Qingkuang suddenly remembered something.

This Ye Huang seemed to have a significant grudge against the son of Shengtian Group.

"Why?" Ye Huang's eyes instantly turned cold at Chu Qingkuang's words. He was not surprised that Chu Qingkuang knew about his affairs.

The largest intelligence network in China is not the National Security Bureau but the military's intelligence department. It's incredibly easy to find out information.
