"Old Tan, you can't always hide like this!"

"Okay, Lao Jiang, it's not easy for me to keep this project going."

"I know that, too, but"

Just when Lu Jiadong and Hu Qinghua were frowning over the issue of funds, the same expressions also appeared on the faces of Tan Bin, director of the armament department of the General Staff Department, and Jiang Huichuan, commander of the Navy, who came to investigate.

In particular, Navy Commander Jiang Huichuan, a former top student of the Voroshilov Naval Academy of the Soviet Union, knew very well that the YJ-8 anti-ship missile would be a sharp weapon and development trend in future naval warfare, and it was precisely for this reason that after he became commander of the Navy, he used the only funds he had to support Liang Shouye's research and development work.

However, in the context of "the army must be patient" today, his meager funds like squeezing toothpaste could not support the trial production of the entire missile project, so after receiving Liang Shouye's report, he ignored Tan Bin, director of the armament department of the General Staff Department, and came to the Wanshan factory in the name of field research, just to let Tan Bin, the chief officer in charge of equipment development, see the current difficulties and hope that they can be solved as soon as possible:

"However, Lao Tan, you have also seen that although Wanshan Factory has some family background over the years, such a complex project is obviously not something that a factory can afford!"

"I also know this, but I don't have any money in my hand, if I have money, I don't need you to say it, I would have allocated it a long time ago!" Tan Bin was also helpless, and what he said was also true, in the current environment, Tan Bin's little money can barely maintain the advancement of several national key projects such as high-performance "nuclear" weapons, "continental" and "intercontinental" missile improvements, and advanced fighter pre-research.

The remaining little money still has to maintain the minimum operation of the production lines of the various military factories, the salaries of the personnel, and the maintenance and maintenance of related equipment, and they are eager to break it into two parts to spend, and there is no money left over to support the transformation of the Wanshan plant and the large-scale production of the YJ-8 missile. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to avoid Lu Jiadong's repeated questioning and talking about other things.

To tell the truth, Tan Bin also supports the YJ-8 anti-ship missile in his heart, in any case, this small and flexible anti-ship missile is very adaptable, the requirements for the launch platform are not high, and the mobility and flexibility are not small. It is very suitable for the current Navy's coastal defense system with "air, submarine, and speedboat" as the core, which is built by aviation, submarines, and speedboats.

However, on his desk, there are many similar equipment that conforms to the combat system of the Chinese army, and Tan Bin raises his hands in favor of each piece of equipment, but the reality of the situation makes him powerless, and because of this, he is also blind to the progress of the Eagle Strike No. 8 missile similar to the "Xiao Erhei", as for the rest, it is nothing that can be helped:

"Lao Jiang. As you know about this year's situation, as the war on the Sino-Vietnamese border has stabilized and the military allocation has been reduced again, the phrase 'the army must be patient' is not a joke!"

How could Jiang Huichuan not know that at the beginning of this year, more than half of the naval budget he had reported had been cut, and Jiang Huichuan, who had originally wanted to expand the number of destroyers, was once again ruined because of the cut in funds, and he could only refit the "Saddle" and "Shan" class destroyers that had been purchased by the Soviet Union for 50 years and then together with several Type 051 "Luda" class destroyers built for the "Dong" and "Feng" 5 missile tests. Formation of the existing large surface ship combat system.

In the face of this helpless situation, how could Jiang Huichuan not know the current difficulties. However, no matter what, seeing that the YJ-8 anti-ship missile has already gone through the entire development process and is about to be mass-produced, Jiang Huichuan will not give up lightly no matter what.

Just like the Long March of 10,000 miles back then, the most dangerous snow-capped mountains and meadows have all come, and there is no reason to stop in front of the destination. In particular, seeing what Lu Jiadong and Wanshan Factory have done for the mass production of the YJ-8 anti-ship missile, Jiang Huichuan has made up his mind that even if he fights for a red face today, he will get funds from Tan Bin:

"That being said, we can't just watch this complete all the development tasks. Anyway, I don't care, you Lao Tan have to get me the funds anyway, otherwise."

"How else?"

"Otherwise, I will stay in the office of the Armament Department of your General Staff until you approve the funds!" Jiang Huichuan and Tan Bin are at the same level, and he is not afraid of Tan Bin blowing his beard and glaring at all, raising his eyebrows, shrugging his shoulders, and looking like a scoundrel like a dogskin plaster, which makes Tan Bin cry and laugh, and frequently clicks Jiang Huichuan in a dark blue navy uniform with his hand:

"The old chief's words are really good, you Lao Jiang is really a dog skin plaster!"

"What's wrong with the dog skin plaster? As long as you can get the funds, it doesn't matter if you Lao Tan makes my 100 catties into a dog skin plaster!"

"Alright! alright! alright!" Tan Bin was completely defeated by Jiang Huichuan's single-minded behavior, and quickly waved his hand, and then said in a low voice:

"One Liang Shouye Liang Chief Division, one you Jiang Huichuan, I am convinced, okay, for the sake of the two of us coming out, I will take out my old book at the bottom of the box to support you, an old comrade-in-arms!"

"How much?"

"This number!" As he spoke, Tan Bin raised five fingers, and Jiang Huichuan saw it and hurriedly said, "Five million?"

"Five million would be nice, only half a million!"

"Old Tan, what are you doing? It's only 500,000 yuan, and it's not enough to even lay the foundation of the factory!"

"That's all I can take, besides, how do you know it's not enough?"

"How do I know?" Jiang Huichuan stared at Tan Bin for a while, then turned his head to look at the young man who was rushing behind him, and shouted:

"Xiao Lu, come here!"

At this time, Lu Jiadong was rushing towards Tan Bin and Jiang Huichuan, and when he heard Jiang Huichuan shouting like this, he hurriedly trotted over, but before he could greet the two leaders, Jiang Huichuan's question was eagerly asked:

"Xiao Lu, tell me, is 500,000 yuan enough for the cost of your factory renovation?"

"This" Lu Jiadong looked at Jiang Huichuan and Tan Bin's faces, how could he not see that the two had some disputes, in the face of this kind of fairy fight, Lu Jiadong has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and Jiang Huichuan was also a little anxious when he saw that Lu Jiadong did not speak:

"I'm going to talk about it, ask Lao Tan for funds, but he's good, he only gives 500,000 yuan with both hands, Xiao Lu, tell me, what is this 500,000 yuan enough for?

"This is indeed the case!" Lu Jiadong hesitated for a moment, but still gave a positive answer, if in normal times, Lu Jiadong can hide from disputes at the level of Jiang Huichuan and Tan Bin, and if he can't hide, he will deal with the past vaguely, and he rarely stands in a certain camp with such a clear banner as today.

For no other reason, Lu Jiadong is also the master of empty money, and 500,000 yuan is indeed an astronomical amount that ordinary Chinese can count in a lifetime, but in the manufacture of the Eagle Strike No. 8 missile, which costs money like flowing water, it is at best a drop of water in the sea, which is of no help at all.

Besides, he is now using the family background of Wanshan Factory to support most of the progress, as the General Staff Equipment Department in charge of equipment research and development should also make some efforts, plus there is a more self-reliant Jiang Huichuan as the backing, Lu Jiadong is not afraid of offending Tan Bin when he says this, and in fact, it is true, after Jiang Huichuan listened to Lu Jiadong's words, like a winning rooster, he said to Tan Bin:

"Look at it, look at it, this is what Comrade Xiao Lu said in person on the front line, Lao Tan, you can do it!"

"I can get so much money, no matter how much, I can only apply to the high-level, if you Lao Jiang has the ability, I will mention it at the enlarged meeting of the Military Commission after I go back, and see if the high-level leaders can approve it!"

"This" Jiang Huichuan still wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, the words in his throat still didn't come out, because he knew very well that he, Jiang Huichuan, could splash and roll in front of Tan Bin, or play with a child's temper in front of the old chief, but in front of the senior leaders, he didn't dare to do it anyway.

Otherwise, he, the commander of the navy, would have been taken down a long time ago, not to mention that he also knew that it was difficult to shake the determination of the top level to focus on economic construction, and he would never be given an opening and a special case, otherwise, the development plan of the entire country would be disrupted, so after Jiang Huichuan was silent for a moment, he could only grit his teeth and sigh helplessly:

"Hey, 500,000 is 500,000, I'll go back and think of a way to see if I can squeeze out some more in the food expenses of the navy organs, and send it to Xiao Lu when the time comes!"

"I'll go back and think of a way!" As soon as Jiang Huichuan's voice fell, Tan Bin sighed lonely: "This 500,000 is really not much, I will strive to allocate a little bit of the remaining funds for other projects, at least strive to complete the basic factory renovation this year, and we will consider the rest slowly!"

"Yes, now it's only like this!" Jiang Huichuan nodded, and then raised his eyes to look at Lu Jiadong standing in front of him:

"Xiao Lu, you are the same, think of more ways, and overcome the difficulties of moving forward, don't have any ideological baggage, if you have any good ideas, you can do it directly, as long as we get the YJ-8 missile, you can try any way, no matter what, our navy really needs this missile!"

Jiang Huichuan's anticipation can be said to be overflowing, and that kind of new equipment can be said to have touched Lu Jiadong's already sincere heart:

"Chief Jiang, can you really do anything?"

Jiang Huichuan listened to Lu Jiadong's question, he was stunned at first, and then reacted, but before he could speak, he heard Tan Bin's voice ringing in his ears:

"Everything!" (To be continued.) )
