At first, after hearing Lu Jiadong's idea, Chen Zhen's reaction was as surprised as Wu Tianming's, and he only felt that this was impossible, but in the following days, the General Staff Armament Department, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and relevant manufacturers exchanged frequent telegrams with Lu Jiadong, but Chen Zhen knew that Lu Jiadong had done something seemingly impossible.

However, in this way, Chen Zhen became even more worried, for no other reason, mainly those relevant military factories and scientific research institutes, although they were forced to temporarily participate in the development and production cooperation of new tanks under pressure from their superiors, but it is unknown whether their hearts also think the same way, especially the directors of these military factories and scientific research institutes. A leader like the director, who is not a leader in the field, usually says nothing in his own unit, and after going out, he is also a master who is unforgiving, and dares to say and fight, Chen Zhen, who is the director of the factory, can be said to be deeply touched by this.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Zhen is worried that he will be temporarily appointed as the chief designer of the new tank, but Lu Jiadong, who is only in his early twenties and has just emerged in the military industry, can lead this group of factory directors and directors who can be called "proud soldiers" and are old and sophisticated.

You must know that Lu Jiadong is not only a talent he values very much, but also his baby son-in-law, as the saying goes, a son-in-law is also half a child, if Lu Jiadong fails the whole project because he can't control these factory directors and directors, it will be an immeasurable blow to Lu Jiadong's future.

Chen Zhen didn't want to see his son-in-law collapse because of this, so during this time, he kept thinking about how to think of ways for Lu Jiadong to suppress those factory directors and directors, but before he could come up with an eyebrow, the heads of the relevant units had already come to the Wanshan factory.

on this. Chen Zhen was very nervous, for fear that Lu Jiadong would make a mistake in front of these factory directors and directors, so after politely welcoming the heads of several military factories, Chen Zhen pulled the old factory director Zheng Yongbo aside and wanted to discuss with him what to do. In any case, Zheng Yongbo still has a lot of feelings for Wanshan Factory, not to mention that the Guinan Factory where he is currently located can get out of the predicament and also has a contribution to Wanshan Factory, so Chen Zhen feels that Zheng Yongbo can stand aside with Lu Jiadong.

However, as soon as Chen Zhen finished his greetings, as soon as the topic came to his lips, Lu Jiadong came, and the bold Zheng Yongbo was overjoyed when he saw Lu Jiadong, which made Chen Zhen jump to his feet in a hurry, but it didn't take long. Chen Zhen's anxiety turned into worry, and then from worry to nervousness.

Because with the arrival of Lu Jiadong, it is like a powerful magnet, attracting all the directors of factories and scientific research institutes who have arrived one after another. Therefore, even secretly asked the factory security department to increase vigilance, and in case the scene gets out of control, it is good to control it as soon as possible.

The truth is that the out-of-control scene he expected has indeed happened. It's just that it's not the vicious words that ordinary people understand, but everyone surrounds Lu Jiadong like stars holding the moon, not only that, but this group of factory leaders and the director of the research institute who are high in the factory on weekdays are not only familiar with Lu Jiadong.

And he was polite and admired him, and he was even more willing to Lu Jiadong's leadership, and he was not forced at all. Especially Lu Jiadong's speech on the project to promote industrial development, which made these people listen carefully and nod frequently, so that Chen Zhen can see that these "arrogant soldiers" in his eyes are really worshipping his son-in-law!

Case. Chen Zhen's heart that had been hanging finally let go, and a relieved smile finally appeared on his face, and then a strong sense of pride burst out from the inside out, after all, seeing that his son-in-law can have such popularity and leadership, no matter what method Lu Jiadong uses to make this group of people have such a good impression, but it is a great thing to be able to lead effectively, even if he is replaced by Chen Zhen, he may not be able to do as well as Lu Jiadong:

Seeing that his son-in-law's incisive judgment made everyone around him admire and praise him, Chen Zhen, who was full of joy, muttered unconsciously:

"I'm relieved now!"

It's just that as soon as he said this self-talk, the same sentence came from behind him, but the voice did not seem to be muttering like Chen Zhen, but the kind of loud and not majestic, so Chen Zhen, like everyone around him, hurriedly followed the sound and looked back, only to find that behind them stood a middle-aged soldier with a tall and thin figure, tall and dignified and a little elegant temperament, Chen Zhen was stunned at first, and Wu Tianming, who was standing behind him at this time, couldn't help but shout when he saw this person:

"Commander Xu"

As soon as Wu Tianming's words came out, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd and saluted the middle-aged soldier with a standard military salute:

"Commander Xu!"

The middle-aged soldier who came was none other than Xu Yuan, who commanded the troops to complete the battle of Faka Mountain last year, and many people present knew this resourceful general, but what was puzzling was that Xu Yuan, who was supposed to command the field troops, came to Wanshan Factory, could it be that he was the head of the headquarters sent by the headquarters to be responsible for coordination?

Not only everyone at the scene, but even Lu Jiadong was a little surprised, Lu Jiadong, the head of the headquarters in charge of coordination, knew some information, and the telegram exchanged with Tan Bin and Liu Haotian and others also revealed that a leader who was proficient in armored theoretical knowledge and practical experience would be sent over, Lu Jiadong originally thought that Wang Chuanchen would be arranged or Tan Bin himself would be the commander, anyway, these two had served as the chief officer of the unit in the armored corps before, and they were no strangers to tanks and armored vehicles, but they did not expect that they would be sent over to be Xu Yuan, the general of the battlefield.

Just when Lu Jiadong was puzzled, Wang Chuanchen, who was following Xu Yuan, stepped forward and pointed to Xu Yuan beside him and introduced to Lu Jiadong and the others:

"This Comrade Xu Yuan, who previously served as the commander of a certain unit of the B Military Region, has a deep knowledge and practical experience in the theory of armored mechanization, and in the just-concluded North China exercise, the armored cluster of the Red Army under his command was unanimously praised by the high-level.

He is currently the deputy director of the Equipment Department of the General Staff Department, and at the same time the leader of our new tank leading group!"

As soon as Wang Chuanchen's words fell, Xu Yuan patted Wu Tianming's shoulder, looked the former soldier up and down, and showed a trace of elegant smile:

"Xiao Wu, we will have to be on the same front again in the future!"

"Guarantee to complete the task!" Wu Tianming's already straight body straightened up again, and the other people standing beside him also changed their bodies at this time, and stepped forward to shake hands with Xu Yuan, the new deputy director of the General Staff Armament Department and leader of the new tank leading group, Xu Yuan turned his head to Lu Jiadong's side and said with a smile:

"I can also be regarded as a self-recommendation, knowing that Xiao Lu wants to develop a new tank, I want to come to learn and learn!" Xu Yuan and Lu Jiadong met during the portable bazooka test, and they also kept in touch after that, so it was not important to meet, but when Xu Yuan shook hands with Lu Jiadong and said this, he inadvertently approached Lu Jiadong's ear and whispered:

"I was relieved to see Xiao Lu talking eloquently just now!"

Of course, Lu Jiadong knew what Xu Yuan meant, so he couldn't help but smile and said with a pun: "As long as you don't let Minister Xu worry about it!"

Xu Yuan heard Lu Jiadong's words, nodded slightly, and then chatted with Lu Jiadong and others while walking, and after a while, he came to the conference room of the Wanshan Factory, although the next meeting was warm, but the agenda was very simple, first Wang Chuanchen announced the appointment order of the headquarters, which was basically known to everyone at the meeting, but this formal form of appointment still has to go.

The General Headquarters ordered the establishment of a leading group for the development of new tanks, with Xu Yuan as the leader, Lu Jiadong as the executive deputy leader and chief designer, and Zhong Xiaomo, Qin Jingbin, Zheng Yongbo, and Chen Zhen as deputy leaders.

Of course, as a Sino-foreign cooperative research and development of weapons and equipment, Pakistan, as a foreign party, should also have a place in the leading group and research and development team, but the Pakistani side has not yet determined a suitable candidate in this regard, and in addition, the matters of the joint development of various factories have not yet been straightened out clearly, so the Chinese side will take the lead to determine the leading group one step ahead, do a good job in all the preparatory work, and hold a formal inaugural meeting when the Pakistani personnel are in place.

However, everyone attending the meeting was not interested in the formal inaugural meeting at all, after all, even if the Pakistanis came over, they only had to learn humbly, and the specific work had to be done by the Chinese, and what the inaugural meeting was just a formality to show respect to the iron buddy Pakistan, so in the minds of everyone at the moment, this small-scale meeting is the symbol of the official establishment of the new tank development team!

Of course, these facts will not be said by the people present at the meeting, and apart from causing some foreign disputes, they will not have time to pay attention to these trivial matters at this time, because from the moment the new tank development team was officially established, the prelude to the development of the new tank began (to be continued......
