In Wolf Fang, I Became the Godfather of Special Forces

"This is the national weapons research institute. Do you think the training conditions would be bad?" Fan Tianlei said matter-of-factly. "You can rest assured and go there to research weapons with peace of mind!"

"That's good!"

As long as he trains well, it doesn't really matter to Tang Ming where he goes.

Soon, Fan Tianlei led Tang Ming to the entrance of a mysterious weapons research institute. There were no signs on the gate, but Tang Ming could tell that the place was heavily guarded.

A moment later, something happened that left Tang Ming dumbfounded!

"Chief of Staff, is this what you meant by being very familiar with this place?"

Tang Ming never expected that Fan Tianlei, who claimed to be very familiar with the weapons research institute, would not even be able to enter the institute's gate.

"Hehe, it's just because they have new people here, so they don't recognize me!" Fan Tianlei explained, "I used to come here often!"

This time, Tang Ming wasn't fooled; he just looked at Fan Tianlei with suspicion.

Being stared at like that by Tang Ming was unpleasant, so Fan Tianlei pretended to take out his phone, feigning to answer it, and soon appeared in front of Tang Ming:

"Hey Tang, there's been a bit of an emergency here. I need to hurry back for a meeting. You can go in later!"

After saying that, Fan Tianlei sent Wen's contact information to Tang Ming, and without saying a word, he took the military vehicle and left!

"Damn it! I've been fooled by that Fan Tiankeng again!"

If Tang Ming still didn't realize that Fan Tianlei had been bragging all along by this point, he would be incredibly stupid.

It's possible that Fan Tianlei's offer to send Tang Ming to the weapons research institute was also a way of supervising him and preventing him from running away on the way.

Having no other choice, Tang Ming had to contact General Manager Wen.

This time it's alright, at least the number Fan Tianlei left was indeed Wen's.

Upon learning that Tang Ming had arrived at the entrance of the Weapons Research Institute, President Wen quickly arranged for someone to bring Tang Ming inside.

The visitor was an assistant from the logistics department of the weapons research institute, named Li Bin.

"Hello, are you Comrade Tang Ming?" Seeing Pang Ming standing outside the cordon of the Weapons Research Institute, Li Bin took the initiative to walk over: "My name is Li Bin, and I was sent by President Wen to pick you up!"

With Li Bin leading the way, Tang Ming finally entered the gate of the Weapons Research Institute smoothly.

"Comrade Tang Ming is truly outstanding; he's already a weapons expert at such a young age!" Perhaps due to the nature of his work, Li Bin was very talkative. Through conversation with him, Tang Ming quickly learned the specifics of this pistol development mission.

"So you mean all the other experts and scholars have already arrived?" After listening to Li Bin's introduction, Tang Ming realized that he was actually the last R&D staff member to arrive.

"Yes! The other R&D experts arrived yesterday!"

"So who are they?" Tang Ming asked subconsciously.

Without even thinking, Li Bin replied, "Two of them are experts, professors, and doctoral supervisors from military academies, one is a designer from a weapons research institute, and the rest is you!"

"Are there only 4 people in total?"

After hearing Li Bin's confirmation, Tang Ming sighed inwardly.

Unexpectedly, including him, there were only 4 people in total to be in charge of this pistol development task.

More importantly, the others are all professionals in weapons research, while Tang Ming is the only special forces soldier in the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade.

"By the way, Comrade Tang Ming, are you here on behalf of the military to test the research results of several experts and professors?" Li Bin asked.

In his view, Tang Ming was an excellent special forces soldier, and he really didn't know what Tang Ming was doing here except to test the pistol.

"It seems President Wen didn't tell Li Bin either!" Tang Ming thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "I'm also here to develop handguns!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing Tang Ming's reply, Li Bin was stunned on the spot: "How is that possible... uh, that's not what I meant!"

Seeing Li Bin's reaction, Tang Ming laughed: "Are you trying to say that a special forces soldier like me would never be able to develop a pistol, is that what you mean?"

“That’s right!” Li Bin nodded. “I did have that question!”

Li Bin then added, "Comrade Tang Ming, you must be very young! I really didn't expect someone so young to be both a special forces soldier and a weapons development expert!"

"It's okay! Actually, I just came to make up the numbers!" Tang Ming said, half seriously and half jokingly, "Our chief of staff insisted that I come, and I really couldn't refuse!"

"Oh! I see!" Li Bin said, feigning sudden realization. "You're here on official business, right?"

Tang Ming rolled his eyes: "I guess so!"

Despite this incident, Tang Ming and Li Bin still got along quite well.

Soon, Tang Ming discovered that it wasn't just Li Bin who was surprised by his identity.

After entering the conference room and introducing themselves, the three weapons development experts, apart from President Wen, looked at Tang Ming with varying expressions.

"Mr. Wen, is this the weapons development expert you invited?" A middle-aged man wearing glasses pointed at Tang Ming and asked Mr. Wen with great confusion, "It's one thing to be young, but he's also some so-called special forces soldier? Are you kidding me?"

The middle-aged man had clearly noticed Tang Ming's attire and armband.

Then he turned to a tall, thin old man and a handsome young man on either side of him and said, "You two can also be the judges. Isn't it a bit too frivolous for President Wen to call over soldiers like peasants?"

Before President Wen could explain, Tang Ming's face darkened: "So, you're saying you can't stand us peasants?"

"Then you're wrong!" the bespectacled middle-aged man said disdainfully. "When it comes to training for combat, I'm definitely no match for you, but when it comes to weapons development... heh!"

"What do you mean, 'hehe'?" Tang Ming pressed.

"Hehe means you're humiliating yourself!" the bespectacled middle-aged man sneered. "Special forces soldiers getting involved in weapons development? That's laughable!"

"All right!"

Seeing that things were not going well, President Wen quickly stopped Tang Ming and the middle-aged man from arguing.

"Liu, really, we're all here for the mission, what's the point of arguing like this?" General Manager Wen then reassured Tang Ming.

"Xiao Tang, don't take it to heart. That was Engineer Liu from the 738 Research Institute! These tech people can be a little tactless sometimes! I hope you won't take it to heart."

Since President Wen stepped in to mediate, Tang Ming swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue!

Anyway, he's already made up his mind to come and make up the numbers. As long as it doesn't interrupt his training, he can just submit any proposal later.

"President Wen, please rest assured! Although I am young and inexperienced, I still know how to show basic respect!"

Tang Ming admired President Wen for being a capable person, even sacrificing his child in the mission, and gave President Wen some face.

As for that Engineer Liu from the 738 Research Institute, Tang Ming just chuckled!

"Hehe, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you all. This is a young talent from our neighboring unit, the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade. He's in his early twenties and is already a colonel in the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade!"

As Wen spoke, he pointed to Tang Ming and said, "Moreover, Comrade Tang Ming also has a very profound foundation in weapons research. You will all come to know this in your work in the future, so I won't go into details."

Then Premier Wen introduced Tang Ming to three other comrades who participated in this pistol research and development and modification mission.

The sprightly old man was named Wang Shengli, from the 738 Research Institute. It is said that the pistols currently issued to military and local security personnel were developed and manufactured with his participation.

Everyone calls him Old Wang.

The person who almost got into an argument with Tang Ming just now was also from the 738 Research Institute. Her name was Liu Ying, and she is now a well-known expert in individual weapon research and development in China.

The last young man, who looked to be about the same age as Tang Ming, was named Wang Ziyue. He always seemed to be smiling and amiable, but in reality, he had the most powerful background.

He is a student of Academician Chen from Huacheng.

Academician Chen may not be well-known, but he is one of the few surviving experts in the research and development and manufacturing of individual weapons in China. The rifles issued to active-duty troops were all designed and crafted by Academician Chen.

"Now that everyone has met, I'll briefly explain the mission for us!"

Premier Wen, as expected of a former soldier, is decisive and efficient in everything he does. He assigned the task of developing and manufacturing this handgun shortly after their meeting.

"As members of the military or those engaged in military-related industries, we all know that since the beginning of the new century, the international and domestic situations have undergone unprecedented changes!"

"The possibility of a large-scale armed conflict, especially the possibility of direct confrontation with the world's major powers, is close to zero!"

"At the same time, the counter-terrorism situation facing countries around the world is becoming increasingly severe, and the task of maintaining national security and stability is becoming increasingly arduous!"

As Premier Wen spoke, his expression grew increasingly serious: "Have you all paid attention to the number of security personnel currently in China?"

"I can tell you very clearly that the number is over 1.8 million, and two-thirds of them are engaged in field work. Of those two-thirds, more than 10% are constantly dealing with danger!"

"They are the most important frontline combat personnel in our security force, numbering over 12!"

Tang Ming had heard Fan Tianlei explain these things before, so he wasn't surprised. However, after this groundwork, he figured they were about to move on to the next important step.

as predicted.

Premier Wen then changed the subject: "In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, various large-scale equipment for the active-duty military have been successively developed, manufactured, and finally commissioned into the armed forces. Not to mention aircraft carriers, there are countless large transport aircraft and destroyers!"

"But on the other hand, our individual weapons have stagnated for nearly 20 years. The direct result is that our front-line security personnel face a large number of unnecessary sacrifices every year because they do not have effective weapons and equipment!"

"Especially in the northwestern border regions, various terrorist elements have been planning and carrying out terrorist acts for years, posing a deadly threat to our frontline security personnel!"

"Therefore, headquarters decided to use our brigade as a pilot unit to launch this pistol research and development and modification project, tentatively named 'SQ'."　

. "

As he spoke, Premier Wen instructed his staff to hand over the four documents to four people, including Tang Ming.

"Our primary task this time is research and development, and the deadline is tight. Headquarters requires us to produce a finished product within a month! The details are already in the project, so I won't go into too much detail!"

"Does anyone still have any questions?"

"report!"

Tang Ming wasn't very interested in this task and was the first to speak.

"Comrade Tang Ming, please feel free to ask any questions you may have!"

"My question is, since the task of developing and modifying this pistol is so urgent, why not form a research and development team instead of having us complete it individually?"

"That's a good question!" President Wen looked at Tang Ming approvingly. "This is exactly the question I was going to explain to everyone, but I was busy and forgot!"

"As Comrade Tang Ming just said, forming a research and development team to focus on tackling the problem should have been the best solution!"

Mr. Wen paused with a smile at this point: "However, as everyone just saw, Engineer Liu and Xiao Tang had a conflict over their respective ideas as soon as they met."

"Therefore, if a research and development team is formed, it is very likely that the team will not be able to produce innovative products due to differences of opinion, and may also waste research and development funds!"

"On the contrary, if we entrust this task to the four experts present, each of them can give full play to their strengths and fully demonstrate their creative passion, which may very well bring us a brand-new work!"

After Premier Wen's explanation, the four people, including Tang Ming, nodded in agreement. It seems that the pilot project for this handgun development has quite a lot of authority.

The only problem with dividing a project into four parts is that the cost will increase exponentially.

All innovative ideas need to be tested in practice, which means they need financial support.
