In Li Ming's view, although the country has cut military spending, but the necessary cost guarantee is still needed, no matter how good it is, you can squeeze out a little money to develop new weapons and equipment, but I didn't expect that after listening to his words, Wang Chuanchen would show such a helpless look, you must know that Li Ming and Wang Chuanchen have been friends for many years, seeing this scene Li Ming knew that it was not so simple, so as soon as Wang Chuanchen's voice fell, Li Ming couldn't help frowning and asked with a little meaning:

"Lao Wang, can't the army be accommodating?"

"Accommodating?" As soon as Li Ming's words fell, Wang Chuanchen bounced up from the back of his chair: "The high-level has emphasized in several intra-military meetings that the army must be patient and that army building should give way to economic construction.

Although Li Ming is from a technical background, after all, he has held a leading position in the Guixi Provincial Department of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense for such a long time, and his political sensitivity is not weak, because of this, when he listened to Wang Chuanchen's words, Li Ming naturally knew how firm his determination to reform the high-level was, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

And Wang Chuanchen, who was sitting next to him, took out a cigarette again, struck a match and lit it, took two deep breaths, spit out a few faint smoke rings, and continued:

"The army has just received such news, and they can't believe it, many veterans with outstanding achievements have gone to the senior leaders to intercede for this reason more than once, but no matter what method they think, the determination of this high-level reform is very resolute, and this military expenditure must be reduced, so that not to mention squeezing research and development funds from between the teeth, even the maintenance costs of the army itself are somewhat stretched, take our General Staff Department as an example, many units and departments are eager to break the money into eight petals to spend, and they can't take out a penny at all!"

As he spoke, Wang Chuanchen put the cigarette on his lips and took two puffs violently, and a thick burst of smoke could be sprayed out from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, and the tone of his speech became a little helpless and insufficient:

"If we can come up with even a penny, even if it's hungry and squeezing between our teeth, we will not hesitate to do it. After all, our country's weaponry is still very backward, and there are too many shortcomings that need to be made up; as long as there are people who care about the development of military equipment, who wants to make the development of equipment stagnate? I don't think anyone will think like this. You Lao Li won't, and I, Wang Chuanchen, are the same, but alas!"

Wang Chuanchen's sigh was worth a thousand words, and Li Ming, who was sitting next to him, was even more shocked after listening to Wang Chuanchen's words. He didn't expect that the army would be so difficult in terms of funding, which made him hope that Wang Chuanchen would get some R&D funds, so that Li Ming had to lock his brows tightly and form a deep "Sichuan" on his forehead.

"Director Wang, since the army is in difficulty, have you ever thought of any way to alleviate it?"

"Find a way to alleviate it? The army is not a military factory, how can it be so simple? No, Xiao Lu, do you have any good solutions?" Just after listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Wang Chuanchen had a noncommittal smile on his face, but he didn't wait to finish his words. I felt that something was wrong, looking at Lu Jiadong's faint smile on the other side, Wang Chuanchen's contact with Lu Jiadong was not short, and he still knew something about Lu Jiadong, so he immediately reacted when he saw this, so he quickly changed his words and asked.

And Li Ming, who was sitting next to him, also straightened up from his chair, staring at Lu Jiadong with his eyes, and his tone became eager: "Xiao Lu, if you have any ideas, just say it and listen to it!"

"Yes, Xiao Lu!" Li Ming's voice just fell. Wang Chuanchen couldn't wait to pick up the words: "You are a person who has been on the battlefield, you can say it when you should say it, but don't be a mother-in-law!"

The reason why Wang Chuanchen and Li Ming are so eager to know Lu Jiadong's opinion is precisely because of Lu Jiadong's surprises again and again. made these two leaders in high positions invisibly have an inexplicable sense of trust in Lu Jiadong, and it is precisely because of this that when they heard Lu Jiadong's words, the two of them were so eager to know what Lu Jiadong was thinking.

And Lu Jiadong listened to Wang Chuanchen and Li Ming's words, and he was not hypocritical, but with a faint smile. He said categorically: "Since we want to make up for the lack of military spending, why don't we sell arms?"

Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Li Ming and Wang Chuanchen all flashed with surprise on their faces, and even spoke in unison: "Selling arms?"

"That's right! It's to sell arms!" Lu Jiadong replied very affirmatively, and then told Wang Chuanchen and Li Ming what he had said to Chen Zhen and Yang Limin in the hospital before, which made Wang Chuanchen and Li Ming surprised after hearing this, and at the same time, they couldn't help nodding their heads, until Lu Jiadong finished explaining this idea, Li Ming couldn't help frowning:

"Although Xiao Lu's idea is good, isn't it going too fast? The existing policy doesn't seem to be too supportive of arms sales!"

"But there is no clear objection!" As soon as Li Ming's words fell, he heard Wang Chuanchen next to him reply with a hidden smile, which also made Li Ming stunned, but before he could react, the corners of Wang Chuanchen's mouth were slightly upturned, and the implied smile gradually revealed a bright smile, and then slapped Lu Jiadong in front of him up and down twice, as if he knew him again:

"I really didn't expect Xiao Lu's suggestion to coincide with Minister Tan's thoughts, and even the specific reasons are very similar!" Saying that, Wang Chuanchen couldn't help but look at Lu Jiadong again, and then asked in surprise:

"Xiao Lu, you won't discuss it with Minister Tan, right?"

After listening to Wang Chuanchen's words, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't expect that he would think of Tan Bin together, and it was not only Lu Jiadong who was surprised, but Li Ming, who was sitting next to Wang Chuanchen, also stared at him with incredible eyes:

"Minister Tan, he thinks so too?"

"It's not just Minister Tan!" Wang Chuanchen said, flicking cigarette ash into the ashtray beside him: "There are many people who hold the same view within the General Staff and even at the top level!"

Saying that, Wang Chuanchen turned his body to Li Ming's side: "Lao Li, don't you remember? When you were in the research institute, didn't our General Staff Armament Department have a debate on whether weapons and equipment should be provided free of charge or sold to foreign countries, which is more in line with the national interest.

"That's right, there is such a thing!" Listening to Wang Chuanchen's words, Li Ming couldn't help but nodded: "There was indeed a debate at that time, and the General Staff Armament Department and the General Logistics Department of your General Staff also conducted a special discussion on this, but I remember that it seemed that it was not stopped because it did not conform to the foreign policy at that time, why now?"

"It was really stopped at that time!" didn't wait for Li Ming to finish speaking. Wang Chuanchen then took over the conversation: "But this time is different from the past, the country must be built, the army must be developed, and the equipment must be updated. No matter which one is inseparable from funds, but at present, the country's strength cannot achieve equal emphasis on economic development and national defense construction, so we can only open up ideas and find another way!"

"But" Listening to Wang Chuanchen's words, Li Ming's face couldn't help but become nervous. The tone of his voice also became extremely worried:

"But now the state does not have a clear policy in this regard, Lao Wang, you also know that there was only a small discussion about arms sales back then, but in the end I think you know better than me, although the current national reform, in some aspects of loosening, but the basic tone has not completely changed, if you continue to do it regardless of this, I am afraid"

Although Li Ming's words were not finished. But both Lu Jiadong and Wang Chuanchen know very well in their hearts that if someone agrees with this kind of thing, someone will oppose it, and this opposition force is not small, but very powerful, if it is not done well, it is easy to be beaten and unable to turn over for the rest of his life, this Lu Jiadong knows, as Wang Chuanchen, who is in a high-level position, is naturally clearer, so when Li Ming finished saying this, Wang Chuanchen couldn't help but nodded:

Lao Li is right, now the high-level opinions on this are very different. The opposition is very strong!" Although Wang Chuanchen was a little helpless when he first spoke, his eyes immediately became firm and resolute, and even the tone of his speech became sonorous and powerful:

"Even if you oppose it, you have to do it, the army has millions of people to eat. The military industrial system also has millions of people, weapons and equipment need to be updated urgently, and the necessary new equipment projects must also be retained.

Wang Chuanchen said and glanced at Lu Jiadong and Wang Chuanchen in front of him: "If we want to retreat, then we really have to fall behind." We really want to be beaten, and future generations will rub our backbones because of our retreat today, Minister Tan and I have the same idea, we would rather have our heads cut off than be sinners of history!"

After saying this, Wang Chuanchen did not stop, but snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray and continued: "Now that the state is reforming, what we advocate is to cross the river by feeling the stones.

Listening to Wang Chuanchen's words, Li Ming couldn't help nodding, but Lu Jiadong, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly lit up his glasses, and hurriedly asked with a look of excitement:

"Director Wang, you won't start implementing it!"

As soon as Lu Jiadong's voice fell, Wang Chuanchen, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but be stunned, seeing Wang Chuanchen like this, Lu Jiadong's heart was even more determined, so the smile on his face was even better:

"Director Wang, our Wanshan Factory's Type 78 series guns, light automatic grenade launchers and 130mm bottom-row grenades not only have excellent performance, but also have experienced actual combat, and their performance is very eye-catching."

Looking at Lu Jiadong, who looked like an arms dealer, introducing his fist products endlessly, Wang Chuanchen showed a happy smile on his face, and then pointed at Lu Jiadong and said half-jokingly:

"You little Lu, it's really like Minister Tan said, it's really a little fox with a keen sense of smell, you can smell anything with a wrinkled nose, see if you can say it like this, next time let you talk to those foreigners!"

"No problem!" As soon as Wang Chuanchen's words fell, Lu Jiadong quickly nodded and agreed neatly: "Director Wang, then we will make up our minds, and we are not allowed to regret it!"

What Wang Chuanchen said just now was just a joke, but he didn't expect to be caught by Lu Jiadong, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and Li Ming at this time also reacted, and couldn't help but push Wang Chuanchen:

"Xiao Lu is very good at foreign languages, he is reliable, and he also has a thorough understanding of weapons and equipment, if you take him, you may be able to get twice the result with half the effort!"

After listening to Li Ming's words, Wang Chuanchen gently knocked the back of the chair with his hand, and after sitting there and pondering for a while, he raised his head and looked at Lu Jiadong opposite:

"Wait until tomorrow to ask the headquarters and Minister Tan's opinions before making a decision!"

"Thank you so much Director Wang!" As soon as Wang Chuanchen finished speaking, Lu Jiadong hurriedly thanked him obediently, and bursts of cheerful laughter immediately sounded in the room

At the same time that Lu Jiadong was discussing arms sales with Wang Chuanchen and others, in a remote uninhabited bamboo forest in the Wanshan Factory, Cao Xiaodong, the new chief of the security section of the Wanshan Factory, stood up to a small but resolute and upright back:

"Chief, Cao Xiaodong reports to you!" )xh118
