Tan Bin's sentence of "I dare to guarantee" can be described as loud, but Cui Mingjun, head of the General Staff Training Department, who was diagonally opposite him, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly:

"Old Tan, don't talk too much, don't say anything else, what is the use of the so-called Yun-10 project in your hand to the troops? It is completely a civilian project, but it relies on the support of precious military spending, what is this not a waste? And the fighter-bomber, the air force's evaluation report has long since made a negative conclusion on it, but it is still developing, isn't it a waste?

Even the Army's Type 69 tank is the same, which can only barely compete with the Soviet T-62, and is not at all comparable to the latest T-72, but this model that the troops are not satisfied with is still constantly improving.

Cui Mingjun's words became louder and louder, and a series of questions were said like machine guns, and many senior officers present nodded slightly with thoughtful faces, but Cui Mingjun's words did not stop there, just straightened his waist and continued:

"Because of this, I agree with Lao Zhang's opinion to compress some unnecessary military projects in order to save valuable military spending!"

"I'm against it!" When Cui Mingjun's voice gradually fell, Tan Bin leaned back to the conference table, although his face was a little gloomy, and his voice had improved a lot, but his words were extremely organized:

"The development of weapons and equipment is a gradual process, but also a process of continuous accumulation, whether it is the Yun-10 or a fighter-bomber or a Type 69 tank, the development of these projects is not only to provide advanced weapons and equipment for the troops, but also to form a certain foundation, develop relevant supporting industries, strengthen the scientific research team, and train skilled and skilled workers.

The value of maintaining these points through one or two projects is not something that can be measured in monetary terms, knowing that these elements can be quickly transformed into powerful productive forces once the country's economy improves in the future. To provide the troops with more advanced weapons and equipment, and then essentially improve the equipment level of our army and enhance its combat effectiveness, I believe that we should never reduce the equipment research and development projects, but should expand them a little more!"

Cui Mingjun heard this. Stretching his two arms on the conference table, he looked directly at Tan Bin opposite: "What Lao Tan said is not unreasonable, but all opinions are based on an illusory future, and what we want to solve is the present, which is the matter in front of us." No matter how good the future is, we need to solve the problem of having enough to eat now!"

"People have no long-term worries, I don't understand, why do you have to move the knife from the equipment project when it comes to the problem of throttling, is it not to develop in order to have enough to eat?" Tan Bin was also not to be outdone, and said it urgently, and Cui Mingjun was even more so:

"What development depends on, it depends on people, if people starve to death, what kind of development can we talk about"

"Knock~~Knock~~Knock~~~" Just when Cui Mingjun's eyes were wide and he was able to speak. There was a dull sound of tapping on the desktop in his ears, which made Cui Mingjun, who had not finished speaking, couldn't help but be stunned, and then followed the prestige, in fact, it was not only Cui Mingjun, Tan Bin who was sitting opposite him, and all the senior officers present gathered their eyes in the center of the venue, only to see the old chief at this time with a big hand covered with calluses, pressing the table, sharp and firm eyes looked around the venue, and the stern and unquestionable words sounded again in this small conference room:

"Only when the big river is abundant can the small river be full. Now that the rivers are not full of water, which of your fields can have a good harvest?"

Hearing the old chief's words, both Tan Bin and Cui Mingjun flashed a hint of embarrassment on their faces, but the old chief's words did not stop because of this. The tone did not soften in the slightest:

"However, Tan Bin just said something that makes sense, when it comes to military spending, he thinks of throttling, and when he talks about throttling, he must think about cutting something, and there are only a few big pieces on the army, and the country's prosperity and strength are not something overnight, and the shortage of military spending will inevitably go through a long time. Now that I've cut a piece this time, what about next time? And what about next time? If you think this method is good, then I'll ask the office to come up with a plan, cut one every year, and then we'll all be the commander of the light pole!"

The old chief's stern words continued to echo in the venue, but the people in the venue didn't dare to take a breath and listened seriously, but it was these words that expressed the thoughts in the old chief's heart in a unique and alternative way, which of the people sitting in this venue was not an old fox who had cultivated for thousands of years, if he couldn't taste this, then he wouldn't be worthy of sitting in this conference room for a meeting, and the old chief's next words also confirmed the prediction of everyone present:

"I don't think there's any need to talk about the clichés, if you want to talk about something new, otherwise we're sitting here to solve the problem, aren't we here to play with children?"

The old chief was talking, and saw his communications staff officer walking in anxiously, so he turned his head sideways and asked, and then the communication staff officer did not answer immediately, but leaned on the old chief's side and whispered, and the old chief's tiger eyes immediately widened when he heard this:

"Comrade Xiaoping's phone number, okay, I'll go over now!" The old chief turned his head to the venue and said in a deep voice: "You guys think about it for me here, and when I come back, you must listen to practical methods!"

After speaking, without waiting for the reaction of the people present, he hurriedly left the conference room with the communications staff officer, and when the old chief pushed the door and left, the entire conference room instantly erupted into noisy discussions, some in groups of two or three, and some in groups of three or five, all discussing the old chief's intentions and the so-called practical methods.

However, when almost everyone was telling their thoughts, there was one person who remained silent, and this person was none other than Liu Haotian, director of the Third Bureau of the General Staff Bureau who had just returned from Singapore.

If Iran had been more resolute when it took the initiative to come to Beijing a few weeks ago, if it had not been so forward-looking when it was under pressure in the future, and if it had been more resolute in the face of Western arms dealers in Singapore, perhaps there would have been no such meeting today, but now everything cannot be set up, and even more cannot be changed in the face of the established facts, so Liu Haotian's heart is not only unwilling, but also deeply remorseful.

Even if there are many objective factors in this arms sale, even if the intelligence department discovers the strategy of the Western arms dealers step by step, and even if he gets the understanding and encouragement of the old chief and the colleagues and comrades-in-arms around him, Liu Haotian still can't let go of it, because in his view, today's arms sales are like leading a surprise attack on the mountain, and no matter how many reasons there are to talk about, if it is not defeated, it will be an outright defeat.

Because of this, from the moment Liu Haotian entered this conference room, he didn't say a word and remained silent, even at this moment, when the old chief left temporarily and everyone unloaded their burdens and spoke freely, but even so, Liu Haotian still felt that the noisy conference room was a little depressed.

So he got up and left the conference room silently, came to the window of the corridor, took out the cigarette in his pocket, and quickly lit it, and in the blink of an eye, a wisp of smoke slowly rose from his mouth, and Liu Haotian's depressed mood was slightly relieved by the strength of the cigarette:

"Lao Liu, why can't you put it down!" When Liu Haotian brought the cigarette to his mouth again, and before he could smoke it, a low and familiar voice came to his ears, so Liu Haotian turned his head slightly, and a wry smile flashed on his face:

"A complete defeat fell on your old Tan's head, can you be relieved?"

The person who came was none other than Liu Haotian's old comrade-in-arms, Tan Bin, director of the General Staff Armament Department, who saw Liu Haotian leaving the conference room sullenly, so he followed out with Wang Chuanchen, at this time hearing Liu Haotian's words, Tan Bin couldn't help but smile slightly, and then stepped forward and patted the old comrade-in-arms on the shoulder:

"It's not terrible to lose, as long as you sum up your experience and improve your tactics, you're afraid that you won't win the battle? I'm afraid that you will sink here, that is, it will be difficult to turn over the battle!"

"Summing up experience?" As soon as Tan Bin's words fell, Liu Haotian's double eyebrows gradually wrinkled into a pimple, forming a deep "Chuan" character at the center of his eyebrows, and a helpless look flashed on his slightly dark and emaciated face:

Although we vaguely know that a few arms giants are playing tricks this time, we have no idea what specific methods they use and how they carry them out, and for us the methods used by these international arms dealers are neither like the real swords and guns on the battlefield in the past, nor are they different from the confrontation methods used in the hidden fronts.

It's a whole new set of things that we don't know at all, and on the way back, I racked my brains to find a solution, but alas, I really should have listened to Lao Tan at that time, and I waited another day to bring Xiao Lu with me, maybe I could still go around, but now it's all over, it's too late to think about anything!"

"At that time, we were all too anxious to succeed, and our mentality was extremely uncalm, otherwise we would not have been criticized by the old chief!" As soon as Liu Haotian's words fell, Tan Bin nodded, but then he raised his head and smiled and comforted:

"But then again, this Xiao Lu does have a lot of ghost ideas, especially in terms of arms sales and weapons and equipment development, there are always some novel ideas, but they are a little radical and immature, so Lao Liu, don't care too much!"

"Minister Tan is right!" As soon as Tan Bin's voice fell, Wang Chuanchen, who was on the side, also echoed casually: "Recently, Xiao Lu has thought of some ways to develop and promote weapons and equipment, and after reading it, I also criticized him, Director Liu, you are."

Before Wang Chuanchen finished speaking, Liu Haotian's confused eyes suddenly widened, and then asked loudly: "Hurry up, what does Xiao Lu think?" (To be continued.) )
