Chapter 372: Airborne Development Mission
"Jiadong is not very good now, I heard that even Xiaoyue has transferred to Bei~Beijing!" Chen Zhen regretted that Lu Jiadong was transferred, since Wu Tianming came back, he has heard it not once or twice, after all, the Wanshan factory without Lu Jiadong always seems to be less energetic, although it can't be seen on the surface, but if you taste it carefully, you can always taste a little difference, and Wu Tianming can be said to empathize with it.
In any case, he used to be the military representative of the old Wanshan factory in the remote mountainous area, and he knew very well that the Wanshan factory with Lu Jiadong as the core was different from other military factories, but no matter how important Lu Jiadong was to the Wanshan factory, because the work needs had been transferred by the superiors, and there may not be any hope of returning to the Wanshan factory in a short time, not to mention that every time he talked about it, Chen Zhen's mood was very depressed.
Because of this, Wu Tianming guided the topic more to the family, you must know that no matter how much merit Lu Jiadong makes, he is Chen Zhen's baby son-in-law, and in line with the love of his parents, he has a far-reaching love for licking the calf, as a father-in-law, Chen Zhen still hopes that Lu Jiadong will have a broader stage, so Wu Tianming will say this:
"Jiadong can also be regarded as a person to go to a higher place, maybe in a few years he will be transferred to the army or a certain department of the locality, and he will continue to rise after a few years of training, and Jiadong is also a very nostalgic person, and he does not forget our Wanshan factory in charge of arms sales, whether it is guns or artillery, there are really a lot of production tasks for us, and only two regiments of new artillery can withstand the task volume of the past two years, so no matter where Jiadong goes, he still thinks about our Wanshan factory!"
Hearing Wu Tianming say this, Chen Zhen's deep worry slowly faded by half, and a smile of relief immediately appeared on his face, Wu Tianming immediately changed the topic when he saw this, and said with pride:
"Besides, the development of Wanshan Factory is also good. Bicycles and motorcycles in civilian products can be said to be in short supply, and firearms and artillery in the military and civilian are exported overseas. Our Wanshan factory will be able to build tanks, and when the time comes for the chief to parade again, all the weapons and equipment will be made in Wanshan!"
"You Tianming, how can you become flamboyant after a few years of fighting!" Chen Zhen smiled and pointed his finger at Wu Tianming beside him, and Wu Tianming just smiled and said nothing, Chen Zhen's smile was a little more relieved when he saw this, but it didn't take long for him to sigh heavily:
"Alas! Not to mention building tanks, it is impossible to build four-wheeled cars, and it is not easy for the current Wanshan factory to maintain it steadily. In any case, from a small factory in the ravines and ravines to today's provincial key military factory, I, Chen Zhen, will be content in this life."
"Factory director!" Before Chen Zhen finished speaking, the new director of the factory office, Yang Hongbin, suddenly called Chen Zhen softly, and Chen Zhen couldn't help but turn around and ask:
"What's wrong?" Then Yang Hongbin leaned over and whispered a few words to Chen Zhen, Chen Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned his head to Wu Tianming's side and said in a deep voice:
"Tianming, you can come with me. Said there was an urgent mission!"
"And me?" Wu Tianming couldn't help but be surprised, if there was any task for the troops. He was also contacted through the local garrison channel, how could he be notified through Wanshan Factory, but Chen Zhen, who had already stood up, did not allow him to think about it, seeing that Wu Tianming was a little hesitant, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and shouted sternly:
"Dawn!" was called by Chen Zhen like this, and Wu Tianming came back to his senses. Hurriedly grabbed his hat and hurried out of the factory hall with Chen Zhen
Chen Zhen and Wu Tianming's sudden departure, the people in the auditorium may not have paid much attention, but Qiao Junfeng, the secretary of the factory party committee who was speaking on the stage, could see it clearly, and seeing Chen Zhen's hurried appearance, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It's like a good thing, but I can't say what a good way to do it.
It's like a bad thing, but I can't say what the bad is, anyway, it's an inexplicable turmoil, so that even the impromptu speech that is being made at the moment is a little absent-minded, so I simply ended the speech and prepared to go back to the factory to ask the factory director Chen Zhen what happened.
However, just when most of the employees of the Wanshan factory had dispersed, and several leaders in the factory had packed up their things and were about to leave, Yang Hongbin, the director of the factory office who had gone out with Chen Zhen before, walked in in a hurry, and saw that several factory leaders had not left yet, and he couldn't take a breath and said eagerly:
"Leaders, the factory director asked for a meeting of the factory leadership team, saying that there is an urgent task!"
"Urgent task?" Qiao Junfeng, Hu Qinghua and others all showed doubts, but they didn't delay there, quickly cleaned up and followed Yang Hongbin to the factory conference room
"Lao Chen, did the superiors make a mistake!" everyone's doubts were quickly answered, but when Chen Zhen notified the new tank development task jointly issued by the Equipment Department of the General Staff Department, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the State Planning Commission, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade, whether it was Qiao Junfeng, Hu Qinghua or Zhao Wei, they were not relieved, but were a little overwhelmed by the notice, but in a blink of an eye, they frowned deeply, and it took a while for the secretary Qiao Junfeng to break the silence:
"Many people in our factory have never even seen what a tank looks like, and the production line is even more north-south, not to mention the development of tanks, it is a fantasy to develop a car, so, Lao Chen, I think it is necessary for us to confirm with our superiors, is this notice wrong!"
"I've already confirmed!" Chen Zhen shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face: "The phone call even went to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and the result was to instruct our factory to carry out a joint development of a new tank project with Pakistan, and for this reason, Comrade Wu Tianming was specially transferred to our factory as a military representative!"
At this time, Wu Tianming was sitting next to Chen Zhen, and he almost dropped his jaw when he received this appointment, even if he had a lot of feelings for Wanshan Factory, but he didn't expect to be transferred back so suddenly, and he didn't expect to complete such a difficult task, although he had learned armored offensive operations in the army's advanced training class, and had personally ridden and driven tanks, but it was limited to that, as for how to study and how to carry out it, he didn't know anything.
Because of this, Wu Tianming always felt that his appointment was a bit of a duck on the shelf, but the military order was like a mountain, since the order had been issued, as a soldier must obey, so Wu Tianming immediately completed the work handover with the current military representative after receiving the order, even so, Wu Tianming's heart still couldn't help but be a little self-deprecating, and always felt that the joke with Chen Zhen in the auditorium before was really a prophecy!
In fact, the person who has the idea of catching ducks on the shelves is not only Wu Tianming, but also the leaders of several Wanshan factories here, especially Qiao Junfeng, who has been promoted to the secretary of the party committee of the factory, is even more so, in any case, he is a technical background, and has been a workshop director in the workshop for two years, and has a very clear understanding of the technical level and actual situation of Wanshan factory, therefore, when Chen Zhen's voice fell, Qiao Junfeng twisted a pair of thick eyebrows into a small mountain bag, and shook his head heavily:
"Lao Chen, I think you know better than anyone else about the situation in our factory, we can produce guns and make cannons, but tanks are complex projects with a high degree of integration of various industrial categories and scientific research disciplines, which are far more difficult than firearms and light automatic grenade launchers, so my opinion is very clear, that is, to clearly explain our actual situation to the superiors, and I think the superiors will also look at this problem realistically!"
"I agree with Secretary Qiao's opinion!" As soon as Qiao Junfeng's voice fell, Hu Qinghua, the deputy director of the factory sitting on the left-hand side, said, he had just been promoted to deputy director, and his arrogant edge was worn off a lot after several years of experience in the Wanshan factory, but the character of having one thing and two things has not diminished at all, for this unexpected development task, in his opinion, the technical ability of the Wanshan factory will not work at all:
"No matter how much support the superiors give us, for a military factory like ours without any experience, the development of a new tank is tantamount to a big hole that is not satisfied.
Chen Zhen listened to Hu Qinghua's words, and didn't say anything, but turned his head to Zhao Wei on the right hand: "Old Zhao, what is your opinion?"
Whether it is Qiao Junfeng or Hu Qinghua, they are both from technical backgrounds, and even they say that they can't develop it, so what can he say if he is an administrative, he can only follow the big stream:
"I think what Secretary Qiao and Deputy Director Hu said is reasonable, from the history of our factory, there is indeed no precedent for developing tanks, let alone experience in this area, so I think it is better to explain it in detail to the superiors, of course, if the superiors can transfer Comrade Lu Jiadong back, it will be another matter, according to his understanding and mastery of military technology, he may be able to come up with some solutions!"
Zhao Wei's last words were just to ease the atmosphere in the venue, after all, because of this confusing development task, several people present were all worried, so Zhao Wei said such half-jokingly things that everyone thought were impossible.
It's just that what Zhao Wei didn't expect was that his words not only did not play their due role, but backfired, and several people present all looked even more depressed, Chen Zhen, who was originally sorry for Lu Jiadong's transfer, was even more gloomy at this time, and I don't know how long it took, Chen Zhen slapped the table with a "bang~":
"Although Xiao Lu was transferred, didn't Xiao Lu's spirit of daring to fight stay in Wanshan Factory?"
"The factory director, the secretary and the factory director are back, back" Before Chen Zhen finished speaking, there was a hurried shout in the corridor, hearing this, Zhao Wei hurriedly walked out of the conference room and saw Liu Liang, the workshop director who was rushing over, and scolded in a deep voice:
"Liu Liang, what are you shouting?
"It's back, it's back!" In the face of Zhao Wei's scolding, Liu Liang didn't care, but shouted even more excitedly: "Lu Jiadong, Master Lu is back"
The people in the venue were all overjoyed, but Chen Zhen, who was sitting in the center, exhaled a long breath: "It's great to finally come back" (to be continued......)
