Chapter 418: Unexpected Trouble
The Spring Festival is not long before the beginning of spring, but I don't know if it is because humans have mastered nature, or if nature is still manipulating humans, in recent decades, the climate of nature is as changeable and capricious as the politics invented by humans.
It was early spring, located in the north of the North Machinery Factory, two days ago there was a burst of light snow, puddles are still covered with thin ice, it should be a cold spring, but the southwest wind that blew for a day and a night suddenly seemed to blow away two or three months of time, and suddenly entered the lazy, just want to sleep and do not want to work in the spring season. Sudden cold and heat, people dare not take off their cotton clothes, in case the sky changes their faces, and there is a big freeze, they will catch a cold.
The sun seemed to have caught a cold and was having a high fever, and with a big red face, it jumped out of the field early, burned away the little moisture around it, and rose high into the sky.
The magnificent northern machinery factory in the wilderness ushered in the bright morning light of a new day under the background of the rising sun, and the huge military factory had its own inherent rules and rhythms, tense and disorderly: in some places people shouted the sound of cars, artificially creating a warm atmosphere; in some places they stopped work and waited for materials, and the workers were idle, slowly doing what they wanted to do, and the whole northern machinery factory was no different from usual, and it was a rare sunny and warm day, and everyone had a kind of spring warm and comfortable pleasure.
However, in this large-scale factory area, not all places are so sleepy and gratifying, which makes people both lazy and comfortable, as if they have really entered the spring season, for example, at this moment, the conference room of the northern factory department makes people feel a cold winter, sabre-rattling feeling:
"No! I will never agree!" Before Liao Yongyong, assistant to the factory director, finished reading the relevant manuscript, Zhu Guangrong, the chief counsel of the advisory committee sitting on the side, propped up the table with one hand and stood up. Ling Yan's eyes swept from the faces of the leaders at all levels of the northern factory who attended the enlarged meeting of the party committee of the factory, and finally fell on Xie Chaoyang, who was sitting on the main seat and pinching the Chinese cigarette bar and savoring it, and his bloodless cheeks were reflected crimson with anger:
"Director Xie, I have no objection to our factory introducing advanced foreign equipment, and I am not opposed to learning their technology and management experience. However, everything has to have a degree, once the boundary is exceeded, it is very likely to backfire, just like the current plan of cooperation with the United States, what is the benefit of our factory?"
"What's the benefit?" Xie Chaoyang put the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray in front of him, and the straight cigarette stick stood in the center of the ashtray, and then straightened up, raised his loose eyelids, and glanced at Zhu Guangrong who stood up indifferently:
"I think the benefits should be obvious, just now Xiao Liao has made it very clear when explaining the plan, the introduction of advanced production lines and related technologies from the United States. It can not only improve our production technology and technology, but also strive for benefits in my favor in time, and at the same time, it can also fill a number of gaps in our country."
"Blank, hmph, I think it's for us to say goodbye!" Before Xie Chaoyang finished speaking, Zhu Guangrong's angry words ruthlessly interrupted him, and then stared at Xie Chaoyang, who was the most proficient, without fear, and asked word by word:
"The Americans are so kind? They are so willing to give us the core technology? All they want is a simple dollar bill? I think they want to choke us more and destroy the foundation of our entire military industrial system by means that no one else can see. We have all been stuck in the neck by the Soviet Union once back then, is it possible that we still have to let people get stuck again?"
"Old wishes. The situation this time is very different from that of the Soviet Union more than ten years ago, but we have achieved results only after careful study and intense negotiations, and although the Americans are slippery, they are indeed a nation that respects the spirit of contract, and they are much better than the old Maozi in the north. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the stuck neck, and our factory is about to launch a new tank project, I know that I wish you all the time to return to the front line of development, since this is the case. How about letting you take charge of the development of the new tank this time?"
Xie Chaoyang explained with a pleasant face, but he was very angry in his heart, if other people in the factory stood up so fiercely against it, or even interrupted his speech in public, Xie Chaoyang probably would have slapped the table and stood up and scolded his mother, and then put a few big moves in a row to beat the opponents to the point that they could not turn over forever, but now the Zhu Guangrong he is facing is different from others, not only the old qualifications in the factory that are older than him Xie Chaoyang.
Moreover, it is the most relied on technical authority of the entire Northern Machinery Factory, and because of this, Xie Chaoyang can't ignore Zhu Guangrong, an old expert, the identity of the old authority, even if he is angry, he has to temporarily press it down, and even throw out the development of a new tank that Zhu Guangrong, who is in a position of fierce opposition, to lead the development of a new tank.
But Zhu Guangrong doesn't eat this set, he is a technical background, when he is the person in charge of front-line research and development, as long as the general policy of the factory is in line with the interests of the factory and the workers, even if there are some slight flaws, Zhu Guangrong will not stand up and clearly oppose it, and he is a well-known good man in the factory.
However, this time is different, Xie Chaoyang and Liao Yongyong said that the plan for cooperation with the United States is clearly a trap, if you jump in, the entire northern factory will inevitably be reduced to a hard-boiled egg that has been stripped of all the shells, and whether it is kneaded or rounded by the time depends on the faces of the Americans.
"Director Xie, what is there to develop such a new tank? The turret is American, the sighting system is American, the engine is American, and even the basic armor and tank guns must be American.
"But after all, it is produced in our China, and we can also fully learn through cooperation!" Xie Chaoyang was still patient, but it was obvious that his face was getting more and more difficult to look at, but Zhu Guangrong didn't care about it, if he cared, he wouldn't be Zhu Guangrong:
"Study, I will study, and eventually this huge factory will be taken over by the Americans."
"Bang~~" Before Zhu Guangrong finished speaking, a sound of slapping the table that shook the conference room exploded in everyone's ears, and then Xie Chaoyang, who couldn't bear it, pointed at Zhu Guangrong and yelled viciously:
"Zhu Guangrong, who do you say will be co-opted? I think you are co-opted!"
"I've been co-opted?" Zhu Guangrong laughed angrily, but he was not to be outdone: "Joke, I wish Guangrong to walk straight in this life, for the sake of this country and this army to be more prosperous and stronger, unlike some people who always think about their own gains and losses!"
If Zhu Guangrong's sentence "being co-opted by the Americans" just now is still very vague, and this sentence has clearly pointed the finger at the factory director Xie Chaoyang, and Xie Chaoyang heard this, his already gloomy face was almost dripping water, since entering the northern factory, the strongman Xie Chaoyang only pointed at other people's noses and scolded, how could he have been scolded in public, so he couldn't help but "bang~~" again slapped his hand on the conference table, which made the people present startled, and then a thunderous roar sounded on Xie Chaoyang's lips:
"I am a fly camp dog, I see that you wish glory is the yes, I Xie Chaoyang cooperated with the United States, first, I got the support of the party committee of the factory, and second, I also have the approval of the superiors, you wish Guangrong to provide the latest armor technology to the new tank leading group in the south behind his back, and you wish Guangrong to tell me whose permission is it?"
"I, you" Zhu Guangrong, a person with a technical background, is not a person who can speak well, and he was extremely angry when he heard the plan to cooperate with the United States, so when he faced Xie Chaoyang, who was skillful, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only hold back his flushed face and slam the table with his fist angrily:
"Vertical, don't make a move!" After that, Zhu Guangrong picked up the briefcase on the table, pushed away the chair, pushed open the door of the conference room with a "bang", and walked away without looking back, and Xie Chaoyang looked at Zhu Guangrong's departing back, and sneered indifferently:
"Scholar temperament, still fight with me, hum!" After speaking, he swept the more than ten leading cadres of the North Factory who were silent and bowed their heads present, and finally took out the Chinese cigarette on his body, used the Zippo lighter that the Americans had just given him, lit a cigarette very stupidly, and then re-entered the seat, crossed a wisp of green smoke from his mouth, and then lit Liao Yongyong next to him with a finger holding a cigarette and said unhurriedly:
"Xiao Liao, go on!"
"Ah~~Ah, okay!" When Xie Chaoyang said this, Liao Yongyong was stunned at first, but quickly reacted, and then picked up the manuscript in his hand and continued:
"The U.S. side will provide us with the latest armor technology, ammunition technology that has just been put into use, as well as advanced tank gun technology and related production lines."
Liao Yongyong continued to talk eloquently according to the content of the plan, and at the same time, in the office of the leader of the new tank leading group on the west side of the Wanshan factory, which was thousands of miles away, Xu Yuan, the leader of the leading group, also held the phone and spoke dryly, but at this time Xu Yuan did not feel this, because the anger in his heart had made him forget everything, and then grabbed the microphone and said angrily:
"Pakistan is simply treacherous and backsliding" (to be continued. )
