Chapter 329: A Bold Idea
In the evening, outside the door of the General Staff Office Building, a sentry came to the sentry at the gate with neat steps, and gave a standard military salute to the comrade-in-arms who stood as tall as a straight pine, and then the two had a brief exchange, and the new sentry took over his comrade-in-arms, standing tall on the sentry, vigilantly and rigorously watching everything in front of the General Staff Office Building.
At the same time, in the parking lot not far away, more than a dozen drivers who were responsible for driving for the commander either looked at the General Staff Office Building, which was only lit up, or raised their arms to look at the watches they were wearing, or ran to their cars to check the situation, or gathered in groups of three or five to talk about some interesting things about the troops, but no matter what, each of them showed a look of anxiety on their faces.
But at this moment, I don't know who shouted: "The chiefs are out!" so that the eyes of these chiefs and drivers who were waiting patiently all converged on the door of the General Staff Office Building, and they saw that the sentry who had just completed the change of guard had already raised the matching gun in his hand in front of him and gave a standard gun salute.
These chief drivers are all experienced veterans, and when they see this scene, they naturally know what is going on, and then as if they have received an emergency order, they immediately stop what they are doing and quickly rush to their respective vehicles, and the sound of cars starting in the entire parking lot resounded in a moment
"I really didn't expect that this old Liu really deserved to be Liu Daring, and actually put forward such a bold idea!" While those chiefs and drivers couldn't wait to prepare, more than a dozen senior officers suddenly poured out of the General Staff Office Building, and the long meeting of several hours left an unconcealable exhaustion on their faces.
However, there was more of an unexpected incredulity and inexplicable excitement, so that even when these senior leading cadres of the army walked out of the General Staff Office Building, they were two or three in parallel, whispering in three or five, and discussing the meeting that had just ended.
Lao Zhou is right. Whether it is the establishment of a special weapons and equipment import and export company, or the implementation of an independent operation policy, or the 40% of the army and 40% of the weapons and equipment production plants. The 20% share ratio of the import and export company, no matter which one is out-and-out capitalism, if you want me to say that this Lao Liu is simply going to be a complete arms dealer!"
"Old Wu, you can't say that, what Liu Haotian said at the meeting is still very reasonable!" The short and fat old Wu's voice just fell. Another leading cadre who walked with them said earnestly:
"Didn't he say that, although we now have the foreign trade export of weapons and equipment of the chief officer of the Third Bureau of the General Staff Department, but after all, this organization is only an agency under our General Staff Department, and such military and government-type institutions are really unjustifiable in their commercial activities, not to mention that they are also subject to the constraints of foreign trade, diplomacy, customs, transportation, and so on.
In addition, the Third Bureau of the General Staff Department is too tightly tied to our army and government, and it is easy for people to seize the handle and use this as a pretext to attack our country. At that time, even if our country wants to shirk it, it will not be able to shirk it, but the arms dealers in the West are different, and there is actually a shadow of a big country behind them.
However, once there is a problem, it is very difficult to find out the affairs of the governments of these countries, because they are purely commercial factors or the behavior of arms dealers, and the country where they are located is at most a matter of lax supervision, and it is enough to punish the arms dealers involved in the world without pain, which is far more flexible than our current arms and equipment sales model! Anyway, I think Lao Liu really talked about this problem at the meeting!
"Well, Lao Zhao is right!" the words of Lao Zhao had just finished speaking. The tall and thin officer named Lao Zhou nodded in agreement:
"If nothing else, take this arms sale to Iran as an example, it is not like what Lao Liu said at the meeting, Iran came to the door. Even if we received it, we did not have the right to finalize it at the first time, and in addition to reporting at various levels, we also had to communicate and coordinate with more than a dozen departments such as the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the State Planning Commission.
Engaging with Iran to sell weapons and equipment is itself a violation of the relevant UN arms embargo on Iran, not to mention the fact that it has only been a few years since we resumed our permanent membership in the UN Security Council. The resolution involved is also in line with international norms, and it is impossible to violate this resolution on the surface, so when the West uses this to exert pressure on us, we really have very little room for manoeuvre.
After all, we achieved very good results in arms sales to Pakistan last year, proving that the road of arms and equipment export is indeed a good way to alleviate the difficulties of the current army and the military industrial system, but last time it was personally grasped by the high-level and set up a joint working group composed of more than a dozen departments, so it was implemented relatively quickly, but we can't set up such a working group for every arms sale, so we really have to make a breakthrough in this regard!”
"Look at the two of you, how could I just say that Lao Liu is wrong? It makes the two of you look like machine guns, and you can't finish talking!" As soon as Lao Zhou's words fell, Lao Wu pretended to be angry and looked at the two old colleagues beside him, and Lao Zhou and Lai Zhao, who were walking side by side with him, didn't understand this Lao Wu's thoughts, especially the cheerful Lao Zhou asked with a smile:
"What's the matter? Could it be that I made a mistake with Lao Zhao, right?"
"Don't say it, you two really made a mistake!" Hearing Lao Wu's words, whether it was Lao Zhao or Lao Zhou, a touch of surprise flashed on their faces, and Lao Wu smiled proudly when he saw this:
"You just took a bite of Lao Liu's opinion, Lao Liu's thoughts, didn't you hear Lao Liu finally say that the original proposer of the whole set of measures was a person named Lu Jiadong?"
As soon as Lao Wu finished speaking, Lao Zhao admitted with a smile: "Yes, yes, it is true, when Lao Liu was asked by Comrade Xiaoping, who had just arrived at the meeting, how he thought of this method, he did say that it was originally proposed by Lu Jiadong of Wanshan Factory!"
But as Lao Zhao spoke, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head a little and said in a deep voice to the two colleagues beside him:
"But then again, I heard that this Lu Jiadong is indeed not ordinary, at a young age, he has developed a small military factory in the southwest into a key factory, whether it is a Type 79 assault rifle, a light automatic grenade launcher, or a new artillery, it has become a good thing that the troops are scrambling to equip!"
"That's right!" Lao Zhouwei lowered his voice and nodded: "I also heard about last year's arms sales to Pakistan, in which Lu Jiadong played an extremely key role, and the Third Bureau of the General Staff and the Equipment Department of the General Staff once quarreled over this talent!"
"I heard that a few days ago, the Second Department of the General Staff wanted to pull this Lu Jiadong to them, but he was blocked by Liu Haotian, and he was stunned that several leaders of the Second Department were stunned!"
"I have also heard a little about what Lao Wu said, but then again, if there is such a talent under my subordinates, I will not let it go!" Lao Zhou said as he spoke, and shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity that I don't have this blessing, I am in charge of so many units, and I can't find a talent like Lu Jiadong!"
"What is a pity for you Lao Zhou? Isn't it the same as Lao Wu! Otherwise, how could I be called a talent, originally I heard that this Lu Jiadong was included in the third echelon for training, but now it seems that this is really the case, but I didn't listen to what Comrade Xiaoping said when talking about Lu Jiadong: 'I think this little ghost is very good, he has ideas, he has courage, and he has courage!' A young cadre can have such an evaluation, and that future."
Lao Zhao didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident, Lao Wu and Lao Zhou beside him were not the old foxes who had been up and down in the sea for many years, so they naturally understood and nodded meaningfully, but at this moment, there was a sound of eager and messy footsteps behind the three of them, and the three of them looked back.
I saw Liu Haotian, director of the Third Bureau of the General Staff Department, Tan Bin, director of the Equipment Department of the General Staff Department, and Wang Chuanchen, director of the Planning Department of the General Staff, running out of the office building eagerly, especially Liu Haotian looked very anxious, using his flexible body to quickly pass through the crowd, and ran to his jeep in front of his jeep in three steps and two steps, and then ordered the driver to start the car immediately, and then shouted anxiously at Tan Bin and Wang Chuanchen, who were left behind:
"Hurry! Slow down a little longer and it'll be too late!"
Tan Bin and Wang Chuanchen didn't answer, they all ran to the front of the car quickly, put on the car with a height, and then Liu Haotian shouted to the driver:
"Go to the train station, quick!"
"Yes!" The driver saw that several chiefs were so anxious, naturally he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly released the handbrake and turned wildly, and went down with one foot on the accelerator, and the whole car was like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins, galloping in the direction of the train station, Liu Haotian and others moved extremely quickly, and made the more than ten senior officers present extremely surprised, Lao Wu, Lao Zhou and Lao Zhao were even more so, just at this time Tan Bin's confidential secretary hurriedly ran over, and Lao Zhao quickly grabbed him:
"What is this your Minister Tan?"
"Report to the chief, Lu Jiadong of Wanshan Factory will leave Beijing ~ Beijing by car tonight"
"What? Lu Jiadong is leaving?" Before the confidential secretary finished speaking, Lao Zhao said in surprise, and then glanced at the two old colleagues beside him, and the three of them were all extremely surprised (to be continued. )
