Chapter Fifty-Seven: Blackened Chief of Staff
"Chief of Staff Dong is right in what he said, the navy is raised by the stepmother! If I had to choose again, even if I couldn't become an army, I would go to the air force, and never come to the navy!"
Lu Bin, who had just come out of the conference room of the Endeavor Factory, complained angrily as soon as he got into the car, and Guo Huaisheng, who got in the car together, didn't seem to hear anything, silently opened the car door, and got into the co-pilot's position.
Lu Bin looked at Guo Huaisheng's appearance of not hearing what was going on outside the window, and he was really a little angry, so he wanted to scold two sentences to get angry, but when the words came to his mouth, he stopped helplessly, and finally could only turn into a helpless sigh.
The Chief of Staff Dong in his mouth is none other than Dong Yimin, deputy chief of staff of the N Fleet, who commanded two frigates for a berthing exercise some time ago.
Due to his outstanding performance in the exercises organized by the new leadership group of the Navy, not long after his return, Dong Yimin was removed from his post and officially became the chief of staff of the N Fleet.
However, being promoted does not mean that his personality has changed, and Chief of Staff Dong, who strictly trains his subordinates in a playful way, is as uncomfortable as ever with his superiors.
At a recent meeting of cadres at and above the division level of the Navy General Headquarters, this outspoken chief of staff again got into a par with the leaders of the General Headquarters because of the issue of garrisoning islands and reefs in the vast South China Sea.
It is hoped that the Navy Headquarters will allocate funds for the construction of permanent fortifications on several strategically important islands and reefs so that the army can garrison them.
The Navy Headquarters neither objected to nor explicitly supported Dong Yimin's opinion, but gave an ambiguous answer: "Report the problem to the central authorities as appropriate!"
If it were someone else, he would no longer insist, but what kind of person is Dong Yimin, it is a bull who does not hesitate to block the door of the headquarters for approval for the preparation of a main destroyer.
Want to send him away with a perfunctory answer?
So the next thing can be imagined, Dong Yimin had a fierce dispute with the leaders of the Navy Headquarters, during which he said such a sentence that was well known to many leading cadres of the Navy.
So angry that a certain veteran navy leader slapped the table on the spot, let's ask such a problematic negative remark, how dare Guo Huaisheng, the logistics director of the port of berth, make a judgment?
"Chief of Staff Dong is for the grand strategy of the entire navy, and it is okay to say a few angry words, while you Chief of Staff Lu are just for a few dredging boats, what's the matter?
Just when Lu Bin sighed, the car door suddenly opened, and Huang Kang sat in with his ass, Lu Bin didn't feel surprised, but glanced at Huang Kang without a good voice: "I have been a soldier for more than 20 years, and I have always had one thing to say, two to say two, how can it be like today, if I compromise and give in, I almost licked my face and begged others, my old face has been beaten so much that I can't see it." ”
Recalling that from the initial excuse of booking a ship to enter the conference room of the Endeavor Factory, to the proposal that the barge refit progress was fast so as to listen to the detailed report on the construction of the Endeavor Factory, and then to the Marine Police District to provide relevant equipment for assembly by the Endeavor Factory, which made the Endeavor Factory collectively confused, until finally even the assembly cost began to be calculated......
Lu Bin had a hunch that he had never done such a humiliating thing in his life, but what could he do if he didn't? Their Marine Police District couldn't come up with extra funds to book a new ship, and even if it was a refit, they had to pick up the cheapest one.
Otherwise, why he and Huang Kang chose Endeavor is not because the construction period of Endeavor can be compressed to an outrageous level, nor because they can provide ship training, but because Endeavor is small enough and cheap enough, enough for them to pull the tiger's skin of the navy and bully them.
"Speaking of which, it's still a word for money, Chief of Staff Dong wants to build permanent fortifications on the islands and reefs in the South China Sea, but the Navy Headquarters can't afford to pay for it at all, so how can you repair it?
Huang Kang saw that Lu Bin was still depressed, and he also sighed with emotion: "The navy looked like that when it was first founded, it has been less than half a bottle after that, and no money has long become the norm in the navy. ”
Huang Kang suddenly paused as he spoke, and then looked at Lu Bin with a solemn expression: "You only saw Chief of Staff Dong setting the table with the leaders of the Navy Headquarters because of an angry remark, but you didn't see him insisting on the approval of the head of the headquarters day and night for the start of construction of a destroyer! He said that angry sentence, but it was because he was angry that our navy was poor and the navy was weak, not that he really regretted becoming a people's navy!"
The loud words echoed in the car for a long time, so that the sound of the vehicle's mechanical vibration was covered, Guo Huaisheng, who was sitting in the co-pilot, didn't even dare to look back, as for Lu Bin, he looked at Huang Kang in a daze for a long time, and scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "I don't regret it, I just think it's shameless to bully Endeavor Factory like this, anyway, I am also a deputy division-level cadre of the Marine Police District." ”
"I feel sorry, then I will help others in other aspects in the future, anyway, this Endeavor Factory can also be regarded as a great help to your water police district, if you change to those superficial enthusiasm, in fact, the export of foreign exchange is more important than life, you will not have such a big harvest today!"
Huang Kang is right, this time Endeavour promised to help the Marine District build four barge-converted dredging vessels within five months for the dredging work of berths in the subordinate ports.
This is really a big problem for the Kandong Marine Police District, and it also gives Lu Bin the confidence to receive the inspection of the head of the Navy Headquarters at the beginning of next year.
Thinking of this, Lu Bin was no longer entangled in the matter of losing face, and nodded meaningfully: "You are right, if there is a chance, our Marine Police District will definitely help them to forge ahead." ”
However, before the words fell, Lu Bin suddenly remembered something, and stretched out his hand to pat Guo Huaisheng in front of him: "Xiao Guo, Xiao Jiao said just now that the dredging ship of Endeavor Factory was made because you despised the technical strength of others and made a bet with you?"
As soon as he heard this, Guo Huaisheng's face turned green, and he couldn't wait to go directly to the bottom of the seat, and it was just mentioned by Jiao Dalin in the conference room, why are you Chief of Staff Lu still holding on, do you know that this matter is very slap in the face and very embarrassing!
"Okay, old man, I'm afraid of being embarrassed, I'll give you a task, I have time to go to the Endeavor Factory, tell Jiao Dalin that their factory can't even build a fire boat, and then make a bet with him by the way!"
"Uh...... Kindness...... Ahh
Guo Huaisheng nodded sneeringly at first, but in a blink of an eye, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately turned to look at Lu Bin, who looked at Lu Bin in the back row with a natural expression, and his surprised expression was full of the words "I heard it right".
"What do you see, aren't they all forced by money, it's done well, I'll invite you to drink, if it's not done well......" Lu Bin smiled coldly: "Hmph, the holiday at the end of the year is canceled!"
"Chief of Staff~~" Guo Huaisheng let out a sad cry, only feeling that his chief of staff was completely blackened.
