What, the Bear Country will fall?

Chapter 37: Watt, Will Bear Country Fall?

"You greedy kid, your appetite is quite large!" Old Master Lin said with a laugh.

"Grandpa, it's first come, first served."

Lin Chenran replied with a smile, "If other Yan Country military industrial enterprises feel they can do it too, then they can bypass the 077 Machinery Military Factory and directly explore the international military sales market themselves."

Opportunities must be fought for and seized.

Lin Chenran's words revealed a sense of determination and confidence.

The Yan Country military industrial enterprises could directly bypass the 077 Machinery Military Factory and develop the foreign military sales market themselves.

This kind of matter depended on mutual willingness! Whoever had the ability would go, and whoever could secure an order would be the boss!

"You smooth talker!"

Old Master Lin couldn't help but laugh and scold him.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, recalling the Lin Chenran of the past who was timid and subservient before him, barely daring to breathe.

Today's Lin Chenran had not only become mature and steady but was also full of wisdom and vitality.

He was no longer as timid and hesitant as before and could even joke with him.

"You brat, it seems you've been through a lot of training at the grassroots level recently!" Old Master Lin said with emotion.

"Yes, Grandpa."

Lin Chenran nodded with a smile. His experience at the grassroots level had benefited him greatly.

Old Master Lin nodded with satisfaction, his face beaming with a pleased smile.

Seeing his grandson's growth and progress, he felt immensely proud.

Old Master Lin didn't say much, only telling Lin Chenran to be careful.

Lin Chenran smiled and replied, assuring his grandfather he would be careful and thanking him for his concern: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will be careful."

"Let's talk about the upcoming matters in Bear Country!"

Old Master Lin looked at Lin Chenran with sharp eyes, anticipating his report.

Seeing this, Old Master Lin stopped inquiring about Lin Chenran's role as an intermediary for the domestic third-tier military factories under the 077 Machinery Military Factory and instead asked about his trip to Bear Country.

Lin Chenran took a deep breath and began to explain the plan and arrangements for his trip to Bear Country to his grandfather in detail.

"You're going to Vladivostok???"

Vladivostok was Bear Country's largest port city on its Pacific coast, the base of Bear Country's Pacific Fleet, and also the largest city and economic center in Bear Country's eastern region.

Old Master Lin hadn't expected Lin Chenran's first stop in Bear Country to be Vladivostok.

This surprised him greatly, as Vladivostok was the station for Bear Country's Far East Fleet. What did Lin Chenran intend to do there?

Shouldn't he have chosen some important heavy industrial cities, like Kharkiv, or perhaps Bear Country's capital, Moscow?

When Lin Chenran revealed his thoughts, however, it caused Old Master Lin to fall into deep thought.

"Why go to Vladivostok instead of Bear Country's heavy industrial city Kharkiv, or Bear Country's capital Moscow?"

"The reason is simple: it's far away!!!"

Lin Chenran's answer made Old Master Lin feel puzzled.

"Far away?" Old Master Lin frowned, seemingly not understanding.

At this moment, Lin Chenran continued to explain: "Vladivostok is located in Bear Country's Far East region, very far from Bear Country's capital, Moscow."

"This way, it won't easily attract the attention of Bear Country's elite spy organization—the KGB."

"Most of the elite KGB agents have currently been dispatched to the European continent for missions, and there are relatively fewer KGB agents stationed near Vladivostok."

"That's why I chose Vladivostok. This can reduce the risk of being discovered and monitored."

Old Master Lin suddenly understood, a look of relief on his face.

He said with emotion, "Little Lin, you've truly grown up a lot. You've changed so much I almost don't recognize you."

Lin Chenran's maturity and astuteness made Old Master Lin deeply proud.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lin instantly felt that Vladivostok was indeed a good choice.

It allowed Lin Chenran to act without attracting the KGB's attention!

"Grandpa, Bear Country places great emphasis on developing heavy industry, and its heavy industrial level is very high. In some areas, even Eagle Country is left far behind."

Lin Chenran calmly explained to his grandfather: "However, due to overemphasis on heavy industry and neglect of light industry development, its light industrial level is very low."

Old Master Lin frowned and asked, "And then?"

Lin Chenran continued, "Many light industrial products need to be imported. Now, its national economic development has slowed down, prices have soared, leading to some chaos."

Old Master Lin nodded. This was indeed the truth.

Lin Chenran continued, "Grandpa, I also know that chaos has already appeared within Bear Country."

Old Master Lin was silent for a moment before saying, "Mmm, I've heard this news too."

As a high-ranking official in the Yan Country military, Old Master Lin naturally had his own sources of intelligence.

He also learned about the situation within Bear Country through other channels.

Slowing economic development, rising domestic consumption levels, soaring prices, and constant activity from foreign powers—these factors were all having a huge impact on Bear Country.

After a moment of thought, Old Master Lin asked, "Chenran, how long do you think the internal turmoil in Bear Country will last?"

Lin Chenran shook his head and replied, "I don't know. It might last for a very long time, and there's a risk of collapse. After all, their current national leaders aren't the strong figures who once shone like the sun."

Old Master Lin had a different idea, or rather, everyone in this era believed that Bear Country's top leadership possessed sufficient wisdom and capability to handle this crisis.

"No way? Bear Country collapsing?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lin was completely astonished.

He couldn't believe that the mighty Bear Country would suddenly fall.

Let alone him, no one in this era believed it!

Perhaps except for Lin Chenran, this was the consensus among everyone else. Who would have thought that the powerful Bear Country would collapse so suddenly?

A country that could go toe-to-toe with Eagle Country.

A mighty Bear Country that could make the nations of the European continent tremble at its name, would suddenly collapse?

Is it April Fool's Day today!

Lin Chenran said with a serious expression, "I'd say it's highly probable."

"Although Bear Country is very powerful, it lacks strong leadership. Furthermore, it faces encirclement and blockade from other countries. Most importantly, the corruption within Bear Country's high levels is also very serious, leading to significant loss of state assets."

"When all these problems are added together, even the incredibly powerful Bear Country can't withstand it!"

Lin Chenran stated his thoughts.

"Will Bear Country really collapse?"

Old Master Lin inquired again, his tone full of doubt.

"Highly probable. Even if Bear Country doesn't collapse, it will be significantly weakened by this wave of turmoil."

"We can make a plan to fish in troubled waters when it's chaotic."

"If we prepare in advance, even if the subsequent events don't happen, we'll have done preparatory work without any loss."

Lin Chenran said calmly.

Being prepared is always applicable, no matter the situation.
