Chapter 225: Let's Carry the Black Cauldron Together
As soon as he entered the door, Wang Su was surprised to find that this person was Chen Xu's old acquaintance, the old chief who had fought wits and courage with the US delegation at the submarine base. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Xu often shows off the unforgettable experience of being with the old chief in the company, but because of confidentiality, he did not say the time and place, and the content was vague, only emphasizing that he and the old chief were old acquaintances.
There is no evidence, most of the people in the company do not believe it, and the old chief is a generalissimo admired by everyone, how can it be so easy to take him as a friend.
Just when he followed Director Qin and really walked into the generalissimo's office, Wang Su's legs and neck began to tremble, this natural admiration for the revolutionary predecessors, and the nervous and excited mood was completely uncontrollable.
When the old chief saw Director Qin, the first thing he said was: "How is Chen Xu's little rabbit cub doing?" Lately, you haven't even called me. At that time, Wang Su, who was standing behind, knew that the cowhide that Chen Xu bragged about at the beginning was true, and the people and the generalissimo were really forgetful friends.
Thinking of this, Wang Su's admiration for his boss was a little more, and there should be nothing that can't be done in the country when such a big man is covered by such a big man in the imperial capital.
In front of the generalissimo, Wang Su was trembling when he spoke, but the old chief had seen a lot of this situation and didn't care. Just asked Wang Su to hand over Chen Xu's plan to him, and then let him sit on the sofa next to him, and at the same time did not forget to tell the secretary to make two cups of tea to come in and entertain the guests, and then quietly began to review the documents.
The warm winter sun shone in through the wooden window, watching the old chief sit behind the desk without saying a word and look through the plan book, Wang Su felt no different from sitting on the nail, and he always felt uncomfortable writhing around.
The old chief wore reading glasses, looked intently at the plan for landing on Mars, and looked at it carefully almost word by word, and did not despise this document from beginning to end, and attached great importance to it.
Because this plan is to be given to the Council of Elders, those people are the leaders of the highest level of the country, and the most taboo thing is to fool. Therefore, this plan is more detailed than the previous content, all the data are estimated to single digits, how much the whole plan will cost, the construction site and expected completion time of the space city, the size of the nuclear-powered spacecraft, tonnage, cost, when to start the first test launch, etc. are supported by scientific data, and try to avoid using ambiguous language to perfunctory.
The old chief turned the pages one by one, and the unheard-of plan in it made the well-informed generalissimo feel thrilled, and the brow on his forehead wrinkled deeper and deeper.
The old chief's face changed, and Wang Su next to him was trembling, for fear that this plan would anger the chief, and he didn't know how to end it at that time.
Compared with the nervous Wang Su, Director Qin was much more indifferent, just lying quietly on the back of the sofa and closing his eyes to recuperate.
"What does that kid Chen Xu mean by making such an earth-shattering plan? Could it be that we don't have enough land left to us by our ancestors, and we have to go to Mars to expand our territory to be satisfied? I'm almost eighty years old, so you juniors can't stop and let me, an old immortal, live a few days of leisure. The old chief took off his glasses, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the traffic outside and was silent, and after a while, he suddenly added: "If Chen Xu really has the heart to do this, I can help him carry this pot, but he must also be conscious, such a big matter cannot be decided by his character, and it must be supervised by the imperial capital." ”
The meaning of the old chief is obvious, the investment of more than 80 billion US dollars in the huge project, if you add the hundreds of thousands of manpower and tens of thousands of factories invested by the state, so many supporting manpower and material resources will definitely exceed 100 billion US dollars in the end, such a large project of course can not let Chen Xu make his own decisions, it is necessary to let the state make overall planning, deploy troops and appoint capable officials, and use national strength to escort the project.
Wang Su swallowed his saliva, and he didn't know how to pick up the stubble for a long time, because there would definitely be a discussion in his expectations, and he could also show his face in front of the old chief, and use his three-inch tongue to persuade the big leaders and persuade them to agree.
But when he really saw the generalissimo, he realized that he was so nervous that he couldn't speak at all, and the old chief's folk legends were so amazing that ordinary people would feel that the official authority was too strong to look at him directly.
Fortunately, the old chief didn't ask anything, and directly agreed to this crazy space program, Chen Xu asked him to come directly to see the old chief after arriving in the imperial capital, and now it seems that there is a reason, Chen Xu has long expected that the old chief will trust him infinitely, as long as it is what he decides, the old chief will agree.
The old chief has been paying attention to Chen Xu's every move all these years, and he knows that the nine cows can't pull it back.
So the old chief didn't think about stopping Chen Xu from running the Space City at all, because he knew that this matter couldn't be stopped, so he simply let go of his mind and considered how to help this kid run the Space City better.
Instead of letting him take 80 billion US dollars to fool around alone, it is better to let the imperial capital participate in it, Chen Xu will pay for the country and people, and make this plan really a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.
The old chief deliberately wants to cultivate Chen Xu, if this plan is successful, Chen Xu's status in the political arena will be rocket-like, and the credit will be no less than that of the founding hero, and the old chief is naturally happy to see it.
However, failure, that is, it will be recognized as a problem with personal ability, and he may not be able to enter the core leadership of the imperial capital in the future, which is not what the old chief wants to see.
And the safest way is for the old chief to stand up and be the initiator of this plan, and Chen Xu to be the executor. If the plan fails, the responsibility is, of course, his, the initiator, responsible, so that Chen Xu's future can be protected from being affected by this incident.
The old chief's promotion and protection of the juniors were beyond words, Wang Su's confidence soared, and he immediately stood up and bowed down and said: "Chief, this matter was definitely not initiated by President Chen on a whim, but a decision he made after careful consideration for the future of the country. ”
"There are many ways for him to develop the country, but he chose the most difficult road to take in aerospace, or even the point of no return!" The old chief walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, shaking his head from time to time and saying, "But this is also in line with his character, this kid is such an unconventional person." That's it! Since he's going to do it, I'll help him get it done! It's a pity that I'm too old, and if this plan can be successful, I guess I won't see the scene of this big spaceship going into the sky. ”
"Don't say that! We will work hard to build a large spaceship as soon as possible, so that you can always see the country's most advanced spacecraft in the sky as soon as possible. Wang Su's old problem immediately made another mistake, and he couldn't help but brag in front of the chief.
The old chief glanced at the other party, shook his head and said: "Aerospace science and technology is not like other industries, this kind of thing is not urgent, for me an old man to speed up the development speed, this attitude is unacceptable!" Such a big project either does not start, or it is necessary to gather the strength of the whole country to do the best thing, and must not be disturbed by external objects! A failed launch is a small matter, and if it causes casualties, it will be irreversible. ”
"Yes...... Be...... You're right, Chief! Wang Su wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, but he didn't expect to pat the horse's hooves.
After learning about Chen Xu's landing plan on Mars in detail through inquiry, the old chief knew this plan in his heart.
Half an hour later, he packed up the materials and took Wang Su and Director Qin to Zhongnan Hai by special car, he couldn't be the master of this matter alone, and he had to go through the deliberation of the Council of Elders in order to truly become a major military project of the country, and use the power of the whole country to complete the plan of landing on Mars.
was about to enter the core area of the government, but Wang Su lost the nervousness he had at the beginning, because of the old chief's privileged license plate, the guards did not stop him when he entered the gate, and he was directly released.
The Council of Elders happened to be holding an executive meeting at this time, and the old chief walked over slowly and discussed a few words with the secretary standing outside the door. The secretary immediately went into the room to report, and then respectfully invited the old chief into the conference room, as for Wang Su and Lao Qin, they stayed in the lounge outside the door and waited for the results inside, they were not qualified to enter this kind of supreme executive meeting.
Mr. Deng saw the old chief walk in with a few documents, and handed one to no one in the conference room, and asked with a smile: "As soon as you enter the room, you will give us a workbook, what is this to test us?" ”
"Just look at the content of what you want to test, in short, it's a trouble that Chen Xu threw at me, and I need to bear with you." The old chief found a chair and sat down, and had already indicated that he had taken over the matter, and everyone present had to give face to pass the approval.
"It's really rare for our little friends in the south to come to the imperial capital! Doesn't that kid like to do whatever he wants, and ignore what we say! As soon as the other Great Elder heard that it was Chen Xu's plan, he immediately became interested, the emperor could not hold Chen Xu by many, if Chen Xu gave up the initiative himself, then the executive meeting would not miss the opportunity.
"! I knew this kid wasn't a good bird, what was the plan for this landing on Mars? Could it be that such a big country as ours can't satisfy him anymore, and is going to run to Mars to toss. Another elder smiled and opened the plan, and then his face instantly froze, those who can be the great elders are human spirits, you don't need to look at the content just look at the title to know that if this bill is passed, the elders will have to stand up and take the blame for that kid, saying that such a big military project was passed by Chen Xu alone, no one will believe it, and then the elders will all have to follow the black pot.
"This military procurement has just begun, his heavy equipment division has just begun to be established, the top ten nuclear power plants are exploring and building sites across the country, the education system is being reformed, and the scientific and technological projects of the laboratories of major universities and universities across the country are subsidized, etc., so many large projects, each of which is enough for any official to do for a lifetime, he alone bears so much heavy burden and does not stop, but he still spends such a huge space city, where does he get the technology? Where do the funds come from! One of the Great Elders slapped the table, he liked Chen Xu so competitively and was willing to bear such a heavy burden for the country.
Without his projects, at a time when the emperor was making every effort to develop the economy, all the funds were concentrated in the economic field, and the national scientific research system was in a state of extreme lack of funds.
At this moment, Chen Xu suddenly took up the burden of the country's science and technology and military industry, kept most of the country's science and technology projects, and avoided the situation that the country was even more backward from the West.
It is precisely because he knows Chen Xu's efforts, so the imperial capital never interferes with his decisions, and fully supports him, and almost all the instructions issued by Chen Xu are passed through the country under the acquiescence of the Elders, and this right can be said to be the first person outside the Elders!
