The reply to the question of the modification of the shells came down quickly, and the instructions of the high-level on the telegram were very clear, that is, no matter what method was used, in the shortest possible time, so that our artillery should have the ability to suppress long-range firepower.

"I didn't expect the top management to reply so quickly!"

Tan Bin said and handed the document of this instruction to Wang Chuanchen, and Wang Chuanchen glanced at the document and his face also changed with a strange look:

"The attention of the top management to this matter has increased again!"

"Yes, after all, this involves the lives of tens of thousands of commanders and fighters, and the high-level can't ignore it!" Tan Bin nodded, his face couldn't help but be a little serious, but more fearless and resolute with heavy responsibilities on his shoulders:

"Looking at the instructions of the senior leaders, I feel that our responsibility is more important, so as long as the materials and personnel that Xiao Wang needs this time, I will give priority to meeting you, and it is a sentence to put it mildly, and I must complete the task with quality and quantity!"

"Yes!" As soon as Tan Bin's words fell, Wang Chuanchen stood up with a serious expression, Tan Bin nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"I will rush to the front line in the afternoon, and then I will go back to the headquarters to report in detail to the senior leaders, but before that, you go back to the Wanshan factory, convey the spirit of the instructions of the senior leaders to them, and at the same time, let Xiao Lu and them draw up a feasibility report, and send it to me before I return to the headquarters, I will give you a special contact radio station, so that you can contact me at any time!"

"I'll leave for Wanshan Factory, and then I'll send you a list of personnel and material deployment."

"Don't be so troublesome, now the time is tight, as long as you think it is useful, you can directly transfer, I will later issue a notice to all directly subordinate units in the name of the General Staff Armament Department, so that they can fully cooperate with your work, remember that time waits for no one, as long as it does not violate the regulations and discipline, the procedures should be simplified!"

"I understand the chief, I promise to complete the task!" As soon as Tan Bin's voice fell, Wang Chuanchen once again stood up to him and gave a military salute

In this way, under the leadership of the Armament Department of the General Staff Department, a joint research group for the development of long-range grenade modification was soon secretly set up at the Wanshan Plant, with Wang Chuanchen, director of the Planning Department of the General Staff Armament Department, as the leader of the group, Lu Jiadong as the deputy team leader and chief designer, and Yang Limin, Qiao Junfeng, Chen Zihao, Liu Liang, and others from the Wanshan Plant were all transferred to the group by Lu Jiadong.

As for the factory director Chen Zhen and secretary Gao Xinghua, while taking into account the daily production of the Wanshan plant, they are mainly responsible for the logistics support work of the research team.

For this reason, Wang Chuanchen recommended several well-known experts in this area to Lu Jiadong, but they were all vetoed by Lu Jiadong one by one, and finally Lu Jiadong selected the development personnel of the exhaust agent sub-item, which surprised everyone, because Lu Jiadong chose no one else, it was Hu Qinghua, who had been-for-tat with Lu Jiadong before.

And Lu Jiadong's selection of Hu Qinghua was not a whim, or deliberately repaired, mainly because Lu Jiadong had read the information about Hu Qinghua before, and knew that he was involved in various fields of military industry, and it was not too much to be called a military all-rounder, but compared with the development and production of these ordinary military machinery.

Hu Qinghua is most praised for his technical skills in various types of ammunition, especially in the selection and use of explosives and reagents, not to mention in Guixi Province, even in the whole country, they are top-notch, but the country has experienced too many things in recent years, and the research and development of ammunition has almost stagnated, so that Hu Qinghua's expertise has nowhere to be displayed, so he turned to the field of light weapons such as firearms.

How could such an expert in ammunition pharmacy who was close at hand put in front of Lu Jiadong and not use him? Besides, although Hu Qinghua was arrogant, from his heart he was not bad, otherwise how could his uncle Hu Dapeng ask him to copy the results of the gun and the grenade launcher, he would have so clearly refused.

Not only that, although the firearm developed by Hu Qinghua was defeated in the end, Lu Jiadong also learned afterwards that Hu Qinghua had put a lot of effort into this firearm, and judging from his usual actions, Hu Qinghua was also a person who hoped that the army would be strong and the country would be strong, which coincided with Lu Jiadong's consistent code of conduct.

In this case, Lu Jiadong didn't mind some of the previous contradictions with Hu Qinghua at all, after all, the purpose of their weapons development was to make the fists of the troops harder and the country's waist straighter.

And Hu Qinghua was also surprised after receiving this letter of invitation sent by Lu Jiadong himself, he didn't expect Lu Jiadong to invite him to participate in such an important research and development task regardless of his previous suspicions, of course, it was not only Hu Qinghua who was surprised, but also the whole Red Star Factory was shocked, and then the people of the Red Star Factory were ** Anyway, no matter what, it can be summed up in one sentence, Lu Jiadong's invitation to you Hu Qinghua must not accept, otherwise he will have to put on all kinds of small shoes for you!

In the face of the surging persuasion of the Red Star Factory, Hu Qinghua's selection was very surprising, it not only accepted Lu Jiadong's invitation, but also prepared to bring the information about ammunition and medicine that had been carefully sorted out over the years, when someone asked Hu Qinghua if he was not afraid of Lu Jiadong's retaliation against him, Hu Qinghua just replied with a slight smile:

"Lu Jiadong is not the kind of person you think!"

Hu Qinghua said this sentence not perfunctory, but based on his understanding of Lu Jiadong, since the last failure of the firearm type test, Hu Qinghua has been paying attention to Lu Jiadong's movements all the time, it is undeniable that he has been jealous of Lu Jiadong for a period of time, has resentment, and even holds the idea of giving birth to Lu Jiadong and giving birth to him Hu Qinghua.

But with the passage of time, Hu Qinghua has learned more and more about Lu Jiadong, from the 78 type firearm, to the gun-mounted grenade launcher, from the 40mm grenade to the development of light automatic grenade launchers, when the world sees Lu Jiadong's proud achievements, Hu Qinghua knows the real intention of these weapons and equipment developed by Lu Jiadong, that is, for the strength of the army and the country.

If these are just personal speculations and are not enough to be recognized by outsiders, then during this preparation for production, Lu Jiadong personally sent himself the detailed 78-type firearm production process manual, you must know that Lu Jiadong's process manual is a modified version that has been further improved.

Hu Qinghua knew that Lu Jiadong did this to let the troops complete the 78-style assembly as soon as possible, which showed that his heart was not filled with personal interests but the entire army and the country.

Lu Jiadong is like this, and he Hu Qinghua is not such a person, maybe Hu Qinghua had a problem with Lu Jiadong before, but when Lu Jiadong showed such a broad mind, Hu Qinghua was no longer a mustard for Lu Jiadong, but deeply admired, because of this, when Hu Qinghua received the letter of request, he agreed without any consideration.

However, Hu Qinghua thought so, but the people of Hongxing Factory did not think so, and because of this, while they expressed surprise at Hu Qinghua's decision, no one was optimistic about his prospects of going to Wanshan Factory!

Not only the Red Star Factory was worried about Hu Qinghua, but the people in the Wanshan Factory were also worried about Lu Jiadong's decision, after all, almost everyone in the Wanshan Factory knew about the finalized test of the Type 78 assault rifle, and Huang Zhiguo's ugliness and Hu Qinghua's arrogance were even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Because the people in the Wanshan factory felt that with Hu Qinghua's arrogance and the unhappiness with the Wanshan factory before, even if they had to be seconded, it was impossible to devote themselves to this important project related to national interests, and some people even asserted that Hu Qinghua could burn high incense as long as he didn't make trouble.

"Hu Gong, it's great that you can come, now our joint research team doesn't need to be missing one!" When Hu Qinghua stepped down from the jeep he was riding, Lu Jiadong, who had been waiting at the entrance of the factory department, hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Hu Qinghua warmly, as if he had seen an old friend who had not seen him for many years.

When Hu Qinghua saw Lu Jiadong, although his face remained as arrogant as ever, he showed a long-lost smile: "Master Lu is really polite, I'm really embarrassed to let you greet him personally!" Saying that, Hu Qinghua took out a briefcase from the car, and then opened the zipper and took out a few neatly bound notes:

"By the way, this is my experience from the ammunition and potions I have sorted out in the past few years, and I also brought it this time, I hope it will help us to modify our shells!"

Lu Jiadong took the notes in his hand, flipped through the two pages casually, and knew that some of the principles and technologies in them were the cutting-edge topics of domestic ammunition pharmacy, so he praised it happily:

"With Hu Gong's set of notes, our ammunition modification is half the success!" Lu Jiadong closed the notebook and said with concern:

"In this way, Hu Gong, you go back and rest for a day first, and tomorrow morning we will have a plenary meeting of the joint research group!"

"I'm fine!" As soon as Lu Jiadong's words fell, Hu Qinghua waved his hand and refused: "This road is nothing, we still have to get down to business, and it's not too late to rest when we finish the shell modification!"

"Okay, then let's go in and have a meeting now!"

Saying that, Lu Jiadong led Hu Qinghua to the conference room of the factory, looking at these two former rivals, but now they are like friends who have not seen each other for many years, Chen Zihao can't help but be very puzzled:

"When did the two of them get so good?"

"Your enemy knows yourself better than you, and this sentence is the most appropriate for the two of them!" Yang Limin looked at the backs of Lu Jiadong and Hu Qinghua who were drifting away, and couldn't help but smile and said, and Chen Zihao was even more confused after hearing this, and finally could only sigh:

"It's a wonderful world!"
