After the order was read, the atmosphere in the room was not so serious. Jiang Chen and Lei Jun sat down one after another under the greeting of the old man, and the staff outside also served a cup of tea to the two of them at the right time. Everyone greeted politely for a while, but Jiang Chen still couldn't compare to the patience of several old men, and asked a little impatiently: "That chief, what is the matter with recruiting us in such a hurry this time, not just to read out the enlistment order to me." ”

"You think it's beautiful, I might as well rest more if I have that kung fu, a deputy regimental position, do you still need to bother me." The old man looked at Jiang Chen and said angrily: "Your papers have a great influence on the upper echelons, especially the upper echelons of the military. Although there are many people who approve and support you, there are many people who oppose you and hold the idea of the Continental Army and Armageddon. In the end, after the final decision of the No. 1 leader, he fully supported our side, but the opponents were still very unconvinced. As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and we let you come here just to let these old stubborns see it with their own eyes, which will be beneficial to your future work and the future development of our army. ”

"Understood, we'll start preparing when we go back and make sure these people are satisfied. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

The old man waved his hand and said, "This is only one aspect, there are other aspects. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee, we have had many differences in determining the direction of our army's future development, and we are now roughly divided into two camps, one being the reformist faction headed by us. We believe that the old military operational thinking and command system can no longer cope with modern warfare in the new situation, so we should learn from the Western military powers and follow a path of modernizing and strengthening the army that suits the actual conditions of our army. Conservatives, on the other hand, believe that a third world war will break out sooner or later, and by that time, under the strong two-sided camp. Our military strength will quickly disintegrate, so we should develop a broad people's war, follow the idea of a large corps and a decisive battle, and make use of the broad masses of the people and a strong living force. Concentrate superior forces to destroy the enemy. Of course, Chief No. 1 judged through analysis that a world war would not occur in the future, so he advocated supporting our side and reforming the armed forces. Although we now have a great advantage, some old stubborn people still adhere to their ideology and theory. We asked you to come this time because we wanted you to deal with them and completely defeat them ideologically. Although their thinking is rather outdated, these are all veteran comrades of our army, who have made great contributions to the establishment of the country. It can be described as a hard work. What we want to do is to help them embrace new ideas, rather than just discarding them because of disagreements and opinions, you know what I mean?"

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, and I admire your good intentions, but what should we do." These people are all old-timers, and they are all meritorious deeds, so I'm afraid it won't work just on us juniors. ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Have faith in yourself." You're far better than you thought you would. A few of us old guys used to say, "If we had a grandson like you." I guess I also entered the coffin with a smile. ”

Jiang Chen saw that Lei Zhan's serious face also showed a rare smile, and saw him say: "Chief, don't praise him, this kid is not praised, you may not be able to make some kind of moth out of this boast." ”

"Hahaha, you. You have to praise it. That's the kind of momentum we want now. The old man turned his head to Jiang Chen and said, "You don't have to be afraid, those people are just like us, they are nothing more than two eyes and one mouth, what is there to be afraid of." Besides, isn't it us, the sky is falling. It's not your turn to top!"

"Understood. Jiang Chen nodded.

"You prepare, there's a meeting tomorrow afternoon, and you're going to attend this meeting, and someone will ask you questions, and you just have to answer them truthfully. The old man smiled.

Jiang Chen was a little puzzled: "What kind of meeting is this?" ”

"Hehe, it's just an ordinary symposium for veteran cadres, nothing else, you just have to say what you want. The old man smiled kindly.

"Oh, okay, I'll go back and get ready. Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled after hearing this.

The old man turned his head to Lei Jun and said, "You should also prepare, the morning after tomorrow, we will accompany the old comrades to your place to inspect and visit, show your housekeeping skills, and let the big guys open their eyes." ”

"Yes. Lei Jun is a soldier in the end, and after listening to it, he instinctively stood up and stood upright.

"Well, sit, don't be so serious, we're chatting now. The old man laughed.

Seeing Lei Jun sitting down, the old man asked Jiang Chen, "I heard that you are building a car?"

Jiang Chen nodded and smiled: "Well, we are making preliminary preparations, if it goes well, we will be able to build the first car of our own in July." ”

"Well, we've been looking forward to having a car of our own design and construction. The old cars we built before were noisy and bumpy, and I didn't like them very much. As for foreign cars, although they are better in all aspects, they are not made by ourselves, so the price is more expensive, and they still use foreign exchange. Every year, I see millions of hard-earned foreign exchange being lost in this way, and I feel distressed when I look at it. The old man said with some emotion.

Jiang Chen laughed secretly in his heart, you will feel distressed after millions of dollars, and in the future generations, hundreds of billions of imported cars every year, you will not jump up and scold your mother when you see it. But now Jiang Chen didn't dare to say that, he just smiled and said: "Don't worry, this car we designed and manufactured is definitely better than some imported cars, and I will give you one when the time comes, and you sit and wander around the capital every day, hungry for those foreigners." ”

"So you produce better than foreigners?" said the old man.

"I can't say how good it is, but it's definitely much better than the three-tana we brought back and assembled. We have also adopted a lot of innovative designs this time, which are not currently available in the international automotive market. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Really, but how did I hear that the technology of foreign cars is many generations more advanced than ours. The old man said in disbelief.

It's also strange, alas, in this era, almost everything is good in foreign countries, and even the moon in foreign countries seems to be better than the rounder of our country. Suddenly, I heard Jiang Chen say that the things in our country are better than those of foreign countries, and the old man must have been a little unconvinced. Jiang Chen explained with a smile: "It's not that foreign things don't have to be good, we can still build the world's advanced atomic bombs, missiles, and launch satellites, and there may not be that country abroad that can make it independently." So you have to have confidence in us, you have to have faith in the industry of this country. ”

"Okay, just rush at you kid, I'll wait to take the car you produced. When the old man heard this, he suddenly brightened up and laughed. (To be continued.) )
