Chapter 385: Fixed-wing aircraft
In the holographic conference room, Chu Nan's holographic projection stood opposite the long table and reported to Jiang Chen the situation on the first day of the issuance of war bonds.
"Including the pre-sale part, a total of two million subcrystalline war bonds were sold out on the same day. In addition, the recruitment process has been carried out at 30 per cent and is expected to be completed within a week. ”
"It's like picking up money. Jiang Chen couldn't help but admire.
"Credibility came in handy, and people rushed to buy it. ”
"No, no, no, credibility is only about the people believing that we will pay. And the people were prompted to buy war bonds not because of credibility, but simply because they supported the war. Leaning back on the boss's chair, Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Because it's profitable?" Chu Nan teased.
"On the one hand. Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Chu Nan didn't ask what the other side was, just smiled and flipped through the documents in his hand.
"Is this what you need to report to me?" Jiang Chen asked.
"No, there's good news. Chu Nan said.
"Oh?"
"Remember that Hua Weijie? You placed an order with him, and now he has completed it. ”
At the time of the initial occupation of the Sixth Block, Jiang Chen promised a certain degree of benefit to each of the five councillors who had surrendered. These include Zhao Chenwu's food business, including Lu Yun's Shoreline Company's inner ring reconstruction project, and Hua Weijie's Star Technology Company's pre-war technology recycling and Yunzhi-51 development project.
"It's actually done so quickly?" Jiang Chen looked at Chu Nan with some surprise.
Originally, he expected that this research and development would take at least a year, but he did not expect them to complete it so quickly.
"Yes. And they were done. Chu Nan nodded.
"Arrange for their technicians to hand over the production process documents to our factory and wait for the helicopter to be put into production. and beat the remaining 120,000 Yajing to them. Jiang Chen said immediately, his face showing joy that could not be concealed.
The development of Yunzhi-51 was completed. This means that NAC will gain the ability to produce helicopters, completely breaking the monopoly of aviation power in the town of Liuding. And with the industrial capacity of the NAC, it won't be long before the town of Liuding, which stays on deck, will be thrown out a few streets by them.
"Okay. Hua Weijie also asked me if you had any new research projects for him. Chu Nan nodded.
"Of course, you ask him if he's interested in a collaborative research project. If you are interested, you talk to her about developing a fighter. ”
Chu Nan was stunned for a moment, and confirmed that he had to repeat it.
"Fighters?"
"That's right. Fixed-wing aircraft, the kind of aircraft capable of dropping 200 kg of bombs on the enemy's head. Jiang Chen said.
"With all due respect, the development of fixed-wing aircraft is probably much more difficult than that of helicopters. And the combat effect on the wasteland. A fighter is not necessarily much better than a helicopter. Chu Nan cautiously persuaded.
Now that the production process of the Yunzhi-51 has just been developed, the research and development of fighter jets will be deployed before even the production line for trial operation is operational? According to Chu Nan's idea, it is best to continue along the road of helicopters and use the Yunzhi-51 as a template to continuously strengthen its technology.
The combat radius of the NAC is only a few tens of kilometers, can you use such a thing as a fighter?
However, Chu Nan didn't know that this fighter Jiang Chen was going to be brought to the present world for use.
"Look ahead, the enemy in front of us isn't just some mutant minion. The Northern Unified Region has always had bad intentions towards Wanghai City, a treasure of feng shui, so look farther. If you look at the whole of Pan-Asia, or even the other side of the ocean, no one knows what's there, what the people are thinking there. Since sooner or later you will have to face those. I hope that I will not be unprepared by then. So now, do you still think that the development of fixed-wing aircraft is redundant?"
"You are right, Marshal. Chu Nan replied quickly.
Rightly or not. If you talk back, it's a bad pen.
Jiang Chen nodded, "Very good." That's it. ”
Ending the call with Chu Nan, Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair and stretched.
"Ah, I'm so tired. Miss Staff. How about a shoulder pinch for me?"
"IMHO, it's the job of a secretary. Han Junhua, who was standing in the corner of the conference room, crossed his arms and said very coldly.
"Isn't the staff officer the marshal's secretary?" Jiang Chen said in a joking tone.
"Your point of view is novel, but let me reject. ”
"That's a shame. ”
Jiang Chen made a pompous expression of disappointment, stood up with the armrest, and walked towards the door of the conference room in a happy mood.
"If you want to have fighters in the army, I suggest you form an air force that is separate from the army. Han Junhua said calmly.
"It's too early, the scientists haven't even made a model of the 'toy' for me. ”
Jiang Chen laughed, his voice gradually drifting away in the empty corridor.
The so-called marshal does not have to be formalistic to stay in the office and be on call, it is enough to be present to people when they need it. As for those chores, they can be left to the staff officers to do, this is Jiang Chen's interpretation of his current position, not to make excuses for his laziness.
To sum up, after sitting idly in the office for half an hour, Jiang Chen instructed Han Junhua to "find me again if you have something", and then left the office in a chic manner.
It's already early June.
Estimating that he would have to go back in a few days, Jiang Chen wanted to spend more time with his beloved.
Walk through the square in front of the community center, and two hundred meters north is the training ground. There was a neat line of trucks parked at the door, as well as a tiger hunter who was still in service. The women stood here waiting for their husbands as they soon left for the front.
When Jiang Chen passed by the door, he saw a black patch in the training ground.
The First Army is about to depart, and Cheng Weiguo is making the final mobilization of the soldiers. As soon as the mobilization meeting is over, they will get on the bus from the door and go directly to the front.
Just yesterday, the Marshal's Mansion had passed the Sixth Block Council's request to declare war on mutants, and now the entire NAC has entered a state of war. While the mutants certainly haven't received the news, it's absolutely right to complete the deployment of border forces as soon as possible.
In the crowd, Jiang Chen accidentally caught a glimpse of an acquaintance.
It is Zhou Jiexi, Cheng Weiguo's wife. She used to work as a cook in the canteen, but later she joined the logistics department because the canteen was transferred to the logistics department. Jiang Chen vaguely remembered this person, in the beginning, she was in charge of the food of more than 30 people in the base.
If there's one thing she's changed from before, it's probably her belly
Noticing Jiang Chen, Zhou Jiexi smiled slightly.
"Mr. Marshal. ”
"Long time no see. Jiang Chen smiled and looked at her bulging lower abdomen with some surprise, "How many months?"
"It's been three months. Speaking of the child in her womb, she had a happy smile on her face.
"It's been three months, Cheng Weiguo, this guy, is about to become a father, and he won't say anything to me. Jiang Chen scolded with a smile.
"You are a marshal, how dare you bother you with such a trivial matter. Zhou Jiexi said very humbly.
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, but soon came out of his stunned state and smiled at her.
That's right
After a pause, Jiang Chen then spoke: "Pay more attention to your body, and say hello to Lao Cheng on my behalf." ”
"Well, definitely. Zhou Jiexi smiled and said goodbye to Jiang Chen.
For a leader, it is undoubtedly rare to be able to win the respect of his subordinates. The distance caused by the gap in awe is also inevitable, after all, except for Zhou Guoping, who has been a bandit, the people he promoted are not good at drilling camps.
In other words, is there still a lack of sycophants around me?
Jiang Chen sneered at the thought that popped up in his mind. No matter how many people there are, it's a bit boring.
Is it a friend that's missing? Or a good buddy?
Jiang Chen fell silent.
Not far away, the formation had begun to move, and soldiers armed with rifles boarded the trucks in groups to say their final goodbyes to their families at the door.
At that moment, he caught a glimpse of a baby sleeping in swaddling clothes from a woman's arms.
The ignorant sleeping face and his mother's happy smile were like a picture scroll, deeply imprinted in Jiang Chen's eyes.
It was that smile that gave him some comfort in his heart.
Smiling, Jiang Chen turned around and walked away. (To be continued.) )
