The north of early spring~~ Beijing is cold, and it is even more cold and biting when it enters the middle of the night, so when the day is just west, there are many fewer people on the street, or go home to talk to their wives and children about their parents' shortcomings, or hide in the house and watch the newly bought TV, or sit together for a drink like Lu Jiadong and Guo Qingshan.

However, no matter which one it is, in the early spring when the scale of the thermometer and the perceived temperature are very different, no one will last too long and climb into bed early and cover themselves with a thick quilt, even if they drink some wine, otherwise Lu Jiadong and Guo Qingshan will not disperse separately when the night is getting darker.

It's just that in some places, there are some people, because of some disturbing things but always tossing and turning and can't sleep, for example, near the north ~~~ in the accommodation room of the North Machinery Factory office not far from the front gate of Beijing, there is a person standing quietly in front of the opened window, facing the gusts of cold wind, looking up at the brilliant starry sky of the capital, smoking one after another, there is no trace of sleepiness, and it seems that he does not feel cold.

And this person is none other than Xie Chaoyang, the director of the North Machinery Factory, at this time he has smoked the Chinese brand cigarette in his hand to the last bit of cigarette butt, but he still used two fingers to subconsciously put it to his mouth and took two puffs, until the flickering heat made his fingers feel a trace of painful burning, Xie Chaoyang felt that the cigarette in his hand had been smoked by him.

So he hurriedly took down the cigarette butt, and slammed it into the ashtray that had already been covered with cigarette butts, and the cigarette butts were still upright and upright by him, just like the other straight and upright cigarette butts around him that had long been extinguished, it was more like Xie Chaoyang's upright waist as always, but at this moment, Xie Chaoyang looked at the cigarette butt that had just been extinguished by himself, and he did not have the pride when he erected the cigarette butt for himself again in the past. Instead, there was an indescribable wry smile.

In fact, Xie Chaoyang has the habit of going to bed early, no matter how big or small, feng shui and rain go to bed on time at half past eight in the evening, and basically can sleep until dawn, and tonight is the same. But somehow, in the second half of the night, Xie Chaoyang was suddenly awakened by a nightmare, and no matter how hard he turned over and tried in the future, he couldn't sleep, for no other reason, just because the nightmare was always circling in his mind, so he couldn't calm down for a long time:

"Comrade Xie Chaoyang, your behavior has seriously violated political ~~ discipline, and the organization has decided to remove you from the post of director of the North Factory"

"Xie Chaoyang. You will spend the rest of your life behind bars."

"Xie Chaoyang, your political life is over"

The heart-wrenching words in the dream, as well as documentary-like images, kept appearing in his heart, so that the oldest and highest-ranking factory director in the military industrial system wrinkled a pair of gray eyebrows tightly:

"Is this a wrong step?"

Looking at the starry sky outside the window, Xie Chaoyang couldn't help but ask himself. Speaking of which, he didn't want to make such a big deal out of the situation, but only wanted to recapture the joint tank development project with Pakistan. In turn, the threat of the new tank leadership group finally left itself to fend for itself, but since Vice Premier W came to inspect the Northern Machinery Plant a year ago, the whole direction has changed substantially.

The former director of the North Factory, now the person with the most voice in the economic and industrial fields among the high-level people, Xie Chaoyang's biggest backer in Bei~~ Beijing, not only supports all of Xie Chaoyang's plans. Moreover, he put forward an even bolder plan, that is, to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the freak of the new tank leading group that violates the traditional rules, in the words of Vice Premier W when he talked to Xie Chaoyang alone:

"Industry is a country, and the military industry is a country, what competition. What kind of market, what rules, there is not a single order to use, 'more, faster, better, provincial' and 'do a great job, fast up' can be achieved with competition and the market? What is the basis for us to build the industrial foundation that other countries have accumulated in the past 100 years in just a few years? Nowadays, some people can neither understand nor understand, and now they have to start anew, and this is the restoration of capital ~ this ~ the main ~ righteousness, and the group~group~gang~gangshantouism!"

It was Vice Premier W's separate conversation that made Xie Chaoyang's confidence in bringing down the new tank leading group stronger, and his actions were more daring, and at the same time, Vice Premier W, who was sitting in Beijing~~Beijing, also gave full support, so the report materials about Zhu Guangrong's leakage were submitted to the national security department in charge of Vice Premier W, and then Zhu Haifeng was brought to Beijing to assist in the investigation, and then naturally involved Lu Jiadong, the core leader of the new tank leading group, in the name of assisting in the adjustment.

It's just that he used an excuse to close his head for ten days and half a month, and when everything settles and the new tank leading group completely disappears, Lu Jiadong, a genius military expert, will continue to play a role, after all, there are not many such talents in a country, and it is impossible to beat him to death with a stick, but what awaits Lu Jiadong is no longer a smooth road, but an endless pile of old papers in the research institute!

"Lu Jiadong, it's a pity for this good seedling!" Xie Chaoyang sighed lightly, sounding as if he was regretting Lu Jiadong's situation, but the cold smile outlined at the corner of his mouth did not have half a sense of regret, but more like an overflowing schadenfreude, as for the nightmare that kept coiling in his mind that made him sleepless, he was completely thrown into the cold wind that gradually rose in the middle of the night with the sigh of this life, and then the words that Vice Premier W instructed when he left resurfaced from his mind again:

"This cooperation with the United States must be done well, take advantage of this opportunity to learn more, more imports, the United States is the best in the world, but also the most advanced, we are compared with them is simply a heaven and an underground, don't be afraid of spending money, let alone worry about any additional conditions, anyway, I support you in this matter! Also, after this time, I will suggest to the senior management to transfer you to Beijing~~ Beijing, talents like you should be in charge of overall work!"

The gusts of cold wind blew Xie Chaoyang's hair a little messy, and even blew the wisps of green smoke from the Chinese cigarette he had just lit scattered, but Xie Chaoyang did not feel the slightest discomfort, but felt that the whole person was more excited, but the excited smile on his face turned into a self-deprecating sneer in an instant.

After all, in the real reality, with his experience and unique vision, he can no longer see the possibility of failure, and the old chief who advocates market-oriented reform is old and is about to retire from the leadership position to the so-called advisory committee as an adviser, and Vice Premier W's views have been supported and recognized by a large number of people.

What's more, with the improvement of Sino-US relations, the Americans are not as reserved and blockaded against China as before, the cooperation of new tanks has entered the fast lane, and a modern production line is also in full swing in the construction of the armored vehicle manufacturing workshop of the North Factory, and at the same time, a complete set of original American household appliances will also decorate his home.

Everything is so smooth, and everything is so logical, that at this moment, Xie Chaoyang seems to see the future in the vast night sky, and he will become a minister, a vice premier, and even a higher position:

"Dreams are all the opposite, maybe the so-called nightmare is a harbinger of a beautiful reality!" Xie Chaoyang muttered with a smile, and at this moment, a meteor suddenly flashed in the distant starry sky. But it was very bright, like walking in the night, suddenly a lightning bolt fell across the sky, dazzling and dazzling, and all the surrounding scenery was suddenly clearly visible;

"The stars are too much, you are poor and I am expensive!"

"Dong Dong~~~" Just when Xie Chaoyang looked at the auspicious omen in his heart from afar, and commented on his ambition, an unexpected knock on the door completely interrupted his good interest, and then he said that the cigarette he had just smoked half was extinguished in the ashtray, raised his hand and looked at his watch, and found that it was not yet five o'clock, and he couldn't help but rush to the door with a trace of impatient anger and said:

"It's only a little bit, what's the matter, wait until dawn!"

"Director Xie, it's the phone call of Vice Premier W"

"Wait, I'll be right away!" Without waiting for the staff who knocked on the door to finish speaking, Xie Chaoyang grabbed his coat, put it on haphazardly, and then pushed open the door and went straight to the telecommunications duty room

"Chaoyang, how are you preparing for today's meeting?" There was a burst of Gannan accent from the receiver of the phone, the voice was not loud, and it sounded very gentle, but it was very strong and firm:

"Don't worry, old factory director, I have already prepared, everything is a report drafted according to your wishes!"

"Well! That's good!" came a reassuring voice on the phone, but then the voice turned and became serious: "I have read your speech, it is very good, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a force through the back of the paper, but even so can not be taken lightly, you must know that this meeting is an important meeting to set the tone and set the policy, your factory is a typical and representative of my push, if there is no persuasion, it will not work!"

"I understand this, so I asked the Americans to make a full set of slides, the so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, with these things, I am not afraid that the tone will not be set, the policy will not be determined!"

"Everything in the United States is a good thing, I'm relieved to have these, it's not too early, you can be ready!" After speaking, a blind sound sounded in the earpiece, and Xie Chaoyang rubbed his tired cheeks and showed a meaningful smile (to be continued. )
