The summer breeze blew through the dense bamboo forest, making a rustling sound, accompanied by the sound of insects from time to time, like a serenade with a quiet melody in the middle of the night, but Cao Xiaodong, who was in the bamboo forest at this time, did not have the heart to appreciate this wonderful tone, but just like the bamboo beside him, he stood straight, his eyes revealed the kind of gaze that was both firm and admiring, and never left the figure in front of him, although he was thin and weak, but he was resolute and upright

The man with his back to Cao Xiaodong turned around after learning of Cao Xiaodong's arrival, but even so, he still couldn't see the true face of the chief that Cao Xiaodong called him under the dark shadow of the bamboo forest, and at this moment, a bright moonlight poured down through the gap in the bamboo forest, shining on his short hair, making the gray hair on his sideburns look particularly eye-catching:

"What's going on here at Wanshan Factory?"

Although this chief has gray hair, he can't hear the slightest old state from his voice, but has an indescribable calmness and decisiveness, after Cao Xiaodong listened to his words, he couldn't help but lower his head first, and then shook his head helplessly:

"They did have eyeliner in the Wanshan Factory!" Cao Xiaodong said and couldn't help but look at the chief in front of him, but because of the darkness, he couldn't see what the chief's face was, so his tone became cautious:

"It's just that I seem to have gotten some rumors recently, and I disappeared without a trace all of a sudden, so that I haven't found any valuable clues until now!"

Listening to Cao Xiaodong's words, the chief's tone was filled with irrepressible anger: "I really didn't expect the hostile forces to come so quickly, and as soon as they got the news, they planted people over!"

However, as he spoke, his tone became worried, and his voice became urgent: "Lu Jiadong's personal safety must be protected, lest the enemy jump over the wall in a hurry, otherwise, even if we wipe out the enemy, then we will not be able to bear such a loss!"

"Please rest assured!" As soon as the chief's voice fell, Cao Xiaodong replied without hesitation: "We have done a very meticulous job of Lu Jiadong's safety precautions. It can basically guarantee Lu Jiadong's personal safety"

"What do you mean basic?" Before Cao Xiaodong could finish speaking, the chief suddenly interrupted him in an extremely stern tone: "What I want is absolute!"

"It's the chief, we absolutely guarantee Lu Jiadong's safety!"

Listening to Cao Xiaodong's words, the chief couldn't help but nodded. At this time, Cao Xiaodong suddenly remembered something in his mind, and after thinking for a while, he frowned and said:

"Chief, in addition to the infiltration of hostile forces, there is one more thing in Wanshan Factory now!"

"What's the matter?"

"During this time, Lu Jiadong has been thinking about how to sell arms!" Cao Xiaodong couldn't help but look at the chief in front of him, and found that there was no obvious change, so he continued:

"Now the country does not have a policy in this regard, and Lu Jiadong's own situation is more complicated, I am thinking"

"What do you think? Thinking about whether Lu Jiadong will make a mistake of principle?" Before Cao Xiaodong's words were finished, the chief in front of him interrupted his words again in an unquestionable tone, and Cao Xiaodong didn't expect the chief to react like this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, just when he racked his brains to think about how to respond, the chief's sonorous voice echoed in his ears again:

It is understandable that Lu Jiadong has this kind of thought, whether it is the army or the military industrial system wants to develop. If you want to grow without financial support, everything is empty talk, but now the national defense system, and even the entire country are encountering unprecedented difficulties, and if this continues, instead of sitting in the same place and waiting, relying on, and asking for the country, it is better to find a way to solve the existing practical problems.

Besides, our Yankuai factory produces so many guns and ammunition in a year, instead of locking them in the warehouse to rust and corrode and turn them into scrap metal, it is better to exchange them for precious foreign exchange, not to mention anything else, we didn't do this once a few days ago in conjunction with the Armament Department of the General Staff. With hundreds of 56 and a half and 56 punches, a batch of military chips urgently needed in China were exchanged, although there was no capital transaction involved, but this is not fundamentally different from the arms trade.

And the reason why this matter was strongly supported by Minister Tan of the Armament Department of the General Staff Department. I think his intention is also self-evident, that is, instead of starving to death with an iron lump, it is better to take it out and replace it with a golden lump, and it is still the same sentence, a living person can't let urine suffocate to death!"

As he spoke, the chief's head couldn't help but raise slightly. The faint moonlight splashed on his gray hair through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, making those erect white hairs look more white and bright under the moonlight, and at the same time, with an indescribable vicissitudes:

"So I admire Minister Tan very much, and he has to do this under so much pressure, which is enough to show that he is a responsible person, and Lu Jiadong is the same, since the day he came to this Wanshan factory, he has been thinking about the development of equipment all the time, sometimes I think, if our country can have more people like Minister Tan and Lu Jiadong, it would be great."

After saying this, the chief raised his head slightly and put it down again, and his tone became a little serious: "Because of this, people like Lu Jiadong should be the object of our protection, no matter how hard they fight in the nest, what will be consumed is the vitality of the country after all, so Dongzi, no matter what, we still have to clench our fists, and unanimity is the right way!"

After listening to the chief's words, Cao Xiaodong knew that everything was reasonable, and through what he saw and heard in Wanshan Factory these days, he also knew that Lu Jiadong was not the kind of person who sold his reputation and reputation, but the kind of person who really put his mind into planning and thinking for the military industry, the army, and the country.

"I see, Chief!"

"Well, it's good to understand!" As soon as Cao Xiaodong's voice fell, the chief standing opposite him couldn't help but bow his head slightly, but then the conversation changed, and his tone was as calm and decisive as before: "So the top priority now is to find out the hostile elements hidden in the Wanshan Factory and eliminate this group of hostile elements cleanly!"

As he spoke, the chief stretched out his right index finger and shook it in front of him, and his tone of voice was even more stern and abnormal: "Let those hostile elements abroad understand a truth, this land of China is not a place for them to go wild!"

As soon as the chief's voice fell, Cao Xiaodong immediately made a standard stand to him: "Don't worry, chief, I promise to complete the task!" Looking at Cao Xiaodong, who was standing straight, the chief nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest

Cao Xiaodong's conversation with this mysterious chief ended silently, except for the summer insects in the bamboo forest, no one in the Wanshan Factory knew about it, of course, these people also included Lu Jiadong, but even if he knew, he probably didn't have time to pay attention to it, because he was making the necessary preparations for the upcoming trip to Yangcheng!

After Lu Jiadong's conversation with Wang Chuanchen and Li Ming ended that day, Wang Chuanchen left the Wanshan Factory with the research team early the next morning, and immediately rushed to the garrison of Sanlin City after returning to Sanlin, and sent an urgent telegram to Tan Bin, director of the General Staff Armament Department, about the secondment of Lu Jiadong of the Wanshan Plant to the arms sales group of the General Staff General Armament Department, and gave a detailed explanation of the reasons for selecting Lu Jiadong.

After Wang Chuanchen sent the telegram, he was about to leave for Yangcheng, but what he didn't expect was that Tan Bin sent a reply on the same day, and the message was simple and clear:

"You can try!"

After receiving this telegram, Wang Chuanchen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so while informing Lu Jiadong of the news, the secondment letter about Lu Jiadong was also sent to the Wanshan Factory, when the Wanshan Factory received this secondment letter, it felt very strange, and what was even more strange was that the name of the unit on it turned out to be the "Eighth Foreign Liaison Office" that no one had ever heard of, which made all the people of Wanshan Factory puzzled, and they all felt that this so-called "Eighth Foreign Liaison Office" was wrong at the address and sent to the wrong unit.

Just when everyone thought that the secondment letter would be returned intact, Chen Zhen, the director of the Wanshan Factory, agreed to it despite public opinion, not only Chen Zhen, but also the Provincial Department of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense after the application for transfer was reported to the Provincial Department of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and the Provincial Department of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense also signed and sealed it without saying a word.

Although outsiders do not know, Lu Jiadong knows very well that this "Eighth Foreign Liaison Office" is actually the external name of the arms sales group of the General Armament Department of the General Staff Department, and Lu Jiadong's official position in it is only an accompanying interpreter, but in Lu Jiadong's view, it does not matter what his name is or what position he assumes, as long as he can sell China's weapons and equipment through this organization.

"Xiao Lu, whether the things we discussed before can be done depends on your trip to Yangcheng this time!" In the early morning Wanshan factory, there was silence, and when the whole factory was still asleep, Chen Zhen, the director of the factory, patted Lu Jiadong's shoulder at the gate of the factory, and said with expectation, and he was also the only person in the entire Wanshan factory who knew the truth, because of this, when Chen Zhen finished saying this, Lu Jiadong's face couldn't help but show a confident smile:

"Don't worry, factory director, I promise to complete the task!"

As soon as Lu Jiadong's words fell, Chen Zhen couldn't help but smile happily, and then leaned out and whispered to Cao Xiaodong in the jeep:

"Xiao Cao, remember to be careful on the road!"

"Factory director, don't worry!" Chen Zhen listened to Cao Xiaodong's words, nodded slightly, and then looked Lu Jiadong up and down again:

"Let's go early, don't let Director Wang wait too long in Sanlin!"

"Well!" Lu Jiadong responded: "Factory director, you also have to take care of your body!" Then stepped into the jeep, the two waved to each other through the window, and the vehicle began to start, and then opened the factory gate, when passing a corner, the vehicle began to accelerate towards the road ahead (to be continued). )xh118
