……
Committee member Qiao Kangsheng was not wrong in guessing that as soon as he heard that the military sub-district was manufacturing a new type of automatic rifle, he immediately contacted the military sub-district in China.
With the gradual growth of the foundation of the military sub-region, the importance of its work in the country is also increasing day by day. It's no longer like at the beginning, where a small director of the Southwest Office can call Guan Fei to come over.
In the current domestic view, the military sub-district has de facto replaced the position of the headquarters of the People's Party and has become a political entity.
When he wanted to contact the military sub-district on something, his tone was much more relaxed, and he talked about it in accordance with the treatment of the fraternal party, and euphemistically expressed his willingness to send a delegation to inspect it. After obtaining permission from the external liaison department of the military sub-district, this side organized inspection personnel, contacted wagons, and set off overnight.
The mission was of a very high level.
It was jointly dispatched by the Ordnance Department of the General Logistics Department and the Fifth Machinery Department, one of the predecessors of the Ordnance Industry Corporation in the later generations. The leader of the delegation is a major general of the General Logistics Department, and the deputy leader of the delegation is a deputy minister of the Fifth Machinery Department, which can be said to attach great importance to him.
The reason for this is that it uses a 5.8mm bullet!
This world with 7. 62-mm guns are no less, with 5. 56 mm is also a lot, and there is also a 5. 45's. But the whole world will be 5. 8mm bullets are the only ones in China as the standard caliber of the next generation of automatic rifles!
However, it took a full eight years for this kind of bullet and firearm to be formally determined in China last year, and there has not even been a study of the structure of the medicine chamber, the type of propellant, whether there are one or two air vents, and what mode of warhead to use. The firearms that were used for it were still on paper, and there was still a debate about whether to use a gas piston type, and everything was inconclusive.
At this time, the military sub-district was already using this caliber bullet as the standard to develop and manufacture small-caliber automatic rifles.
At that time, the general staff officer who received the phone call plucked out his ears for a long time, saying that he could not believe that what was said on the phone was the truth, and he did not report to the higher authorities when he was killed. Later, it was Qiao Kangsheng who used his channel to poke the news directly in front of the leaders of the General Logistics Department, which alarmed everyone, and immediately made up such an inspection group, and went straight to the southwest in a hurry.
The leadership attaches great importance to it, but the members of the delegation do not necessarily.
Even though the train had already started, many in the delegation thought it was just a joke. On the train, the members of the group laughed when they talked about it, and complained that they felt that there was too much fuss and that it was a waste of time.
behaved like the staff officer who received the call.
It's no wonder they reacted like this, the most critical matching bullets haven't been made, you make an egg gun! Can it be used? Can it meet the design standards?
Air-to-air, you dare to fool around?
Are you too confident at home, too confident, or too confident?
Forget it, let's just go on a tour.
I heard that Yunnan is like spring all year round, and the scenery is beautiful. It seems that the construction of military sub-districts is also quite good, although the city is small, it is well planned and beautiful, and it is better to go and have fun.
……
"This is the military division?"
As soon as they crossed the border, saw the sign of the Menghai-Kang (Ka) highway, and entered the boundary of the military sub-district, just like other domestic arrivals who had arrived here for the first time, the members of the joint inspection team of the General Logistics Department and the Fifth Machinery Department immediately showed a look of astonishment.
The highway is so wide, at least eight lanes at the level; The cement road is very flat, and the car does not feel any bumps when driving on it, and the speed is easily mentioned to more than 80 kilometers, and the wind is speeding forward.
Just across the river, this side of the river is an ordinary dirt road, because there are too many vehicles coming and going, and the exit road ruts are crushed, and the potholes are uneven. But across the river, there is a wide flat eight-lane road with concrete guardrails, and the contrast is stark!
That's it.
A few dozen meters away on the left side of the highway, through the thick cement pillars and railings, groups of people without cockades and badges, wearing camouflage uniforms, I don't know if they are military personnel, are working enthusiastically on the several kilometers long road. Look at the sleepers they have paved, the gravel they have piled up, and the section of railroad tracks that has been built for more than 200 meters is actually building a railway!
The steep walls on both sides of the road look like two walls, sandwiching the road between them.
It is estimated that in order to avoid the loosening of the cliffs and the danger to the vehicles, many steep sections have been coated with large areas of cement on the mountain walls. Some stone joints are also fixed with steel nails. Depending on the height and level, cement piles and iron chains with a height of more than half a meter are built in the gentle place of the step-like drop of the cliff to intercept the stones rolling down above, form a buffer, and reduce the possible harm.
With these protective measures, although the cliff is very high, it is completely integrated, and it no longer looks dangerous.
The measure is simple, as long as there is money.
The problem is that there is no money!
There are many precipitous places in the country, where will there be a place like the military division, in order to avoid falling rocks and let the vehicle drive with confidence, so that a large amount of cement and steel bars are squandered on the mountain walls on both sides?
"Xiaoguan, you are really rich, you have even built so many cement walls on the mountain!" The major general at the rear of the general looked at the parapet that was about to plaster the lower part of the cliff with cement, and said enviously.
"Local tyrant! It's too tyrant! The deputy minister of the Fifth Machinery Department shook his head again and again, sighing.
"I don't want to be a local tyrant, but this road is the only artery connecting us to China, and there are no less than 1,000 vehicles coming and going every day. Rocks often fall on the mountain, which smashed dozens of our cars, and more than a dozen drivers unfortunately died because of this. If we don't solve the problem of falling rocks, where can the team dare to drive here with peace of mind, I can't help it. Guan Fei spread his hands, looking helpless.
He was right and he wasn't right.
Before the large-scale construction of the cement retaining wall, rocks often fell on the hills on both sides of the road, which smashed many vehicles and posed a great threat to the safe driving of vehicles.
But to build a wall of this scale, it depends on whether cement production can keep up.
The military sub-district now has a cement plant, and the Northeast Military Region next door has also borrowed money from the military sub-district to build one. The workers of the cement factories in the Northeast Military Region are to be solved by themselves, and the management personnel are sent by the military sub-districts, and some of the cement produced is for their own use and some is sold to the military sub-districts, so as to increase the financial revenue by the way.
The two cement plants have a total of four production lines, with a daily output of 18,000 tons of cement and a monthly production capacity of 540,000 tons!
The shelf life of cement is not long, and it can be stored for about two months in a vacuum dry area.
However, it is damp, hot and rainy here, and even if there is a vacuum wrapping bag, the shelf life is only more than a month. If you don't use it after it expires, it will condense into a lump, and it won't be used at all.
The construction of the new city consumes a huge amount of cement, and more than 400,000 tons of cement are used every month, but such a large output is still not used.
Therefore, the excess cement was used for mountain maintenance, and a cement apron was added to the height of dozens of meters on the mountainside of more than 20 kilometers along the way.
With this cement retaining wall, the traffic is indeed much safer, and the number of landslide accidents has been sharply reduced from dozens of times a month to one or two. Coupled with layers of guardrails, a large number of stones were intercepted in advance, and flying stones were occasionally heard of in the past six months, but there has never been a fatal incident.
From the moment the vehicle entered the new city, all the people in the whole vehicle opened their mouths wide and looked stunned.
"Good boy, it's all high-rise buildings!"
"Oh my God, this is more beautiful than the capital!"
The people in the car were constantly chirping, and their eyes were always looking out the window, and they finally had an intuitive impression of the well-known new city, and they were full of praise.
After Pan Meifeng came, she made a remarkable move, raising the overall business of the military sub-district to one or two levels.
Not to mention that the main roads are clean and spacious, there are also green belts in the center of the street, and the bicycle lanes on both sides are domestic characteristics. However, the eye-catching guardrails, beautiful street lamps, lush street trees, rows of street shops, newspaper kiosks on street corners, and the peaceful and comfortable demeanor of pedestrians on the road are all filled with a strong atmosphere of life.
They were impressed by the cleanliness and tidiness of the new town.
Under the supervision of the neighborhood committee, the military sub-district will take the initiative to clean the sidewalks in front of the streets. The air in the mountainous area is clean and there is little dust, and the sprinkler truck and vacuum sweeper twice a day clean the ground spotlessly.
There are many small clothing stores on the street, displaying a wide variety of colorful clothing.
In the name of the military sub-district, Pan Meifeng submitted a sketch to the Shekou Garment Export Processing Zone, and the clothing, accessories, bags, and other supplies processed by the other party were transferred to the wholesale market of the military sub-district and distributed to various small private shops for sale.
Because it is cheap from raw materials to labor, although these clothes are novel and beautiful in design and good in workmanship, the price is very cheap.
Over the past two years and more, the profits of the military sub-divisions have continued to soar, and the wages paid to the masses have also been relatively generous, so that everyone can share in the benefits of development. The per capita income level of 100 yuan is naturally insignificant compared to the ultra-high income of 1,800 yuan in the United States at the exchange rate, and it is also very inferior to the per capita wage of 500 yuan in Hong Kong, but compared with China, it is at the middle and upper levels.
With nearly 50,000 workers, including 8,000 teachers, more than 5,000 civil affairs cadres (including neighborhood committees), hundreds of families of professional soldiers, and tens of thousands of high school students and college students who receive a monthly subsidy of 20 yuan, a consumer market with a consumption scale of nearly 10 million yuan per month has been formed.
If the money is put in the hands of middle-aged and elderly people, they are reluctant to spend it, and they have to deposit the money in the bank as an emergency reserve at a critical time.
However, the proportion of young people in the military sub-districts is more than 70 percent, which is the age of vigorous vitality. They have money in their hands, and they are affected by family education, although they will not spend lavishly, but their consumption concepts are not as cautious as those of the elderly, and they dare to spend money and are willing to spend money.
In the university and on the streets, you can see flowers and branches everywhere, and the girls and guys on bicycles are the proof.
In the military sub-district, except for the elderly in the countryside and some thrifts, there are almost no coarse cloth clothes such as blue and gray tunics that are common in China.
At this time, it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the temperature in the military sub-district was slightly higher than that in the country. The crowd on the street did not dare to say that they were bold, but they were definitely not conservative, and they were young and beautiful as far as the eye could see.
"Comrade Guan Fei, the military sub-district is developing well!" The major general of the general reluctantly retracted his gaze, looking very emotional, "Although I don't know what you were like before, I have been to Hong Kong once. To be honest, except that there were fewer cars on the road, and the people were not so crowded, I almost thought that the car was driving the wrong way and came to Hong Kong. The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrible! ”
Those who have experience in overseas business trips in the group nodded their heads and felt the same way.
At this time, most of the Soviet-style buildings in China were built in the fifties and sixties, which were square and not high, and looked simple and solemn. Therefore, after going abroad, seeing all kinds of novel architectural styles, high-rise buildings, glass curtain walls, decorative lanterns, cars filling the roads, and beautiful costumes, many Chinese people were immediately impressed by it, and they were ashamed of their backwardness.
Although the new city does not give them the same feeling as that of developed countries, it has a faint shadow.
In order to save land, a large number of 11th and 2nd-story elevator apartments built by the military sub-district are beautiful and generous, and the saved vacant land is reserved for large areas of green grass and trees. All kinds of fitness and convenience facilities, entertainment facilities for children are placed on the lawn, and families with children playing on the grass can often be seen, from the faces of pedestrians, shopkeepers, and playing adults and children, they see a wealthy, comfortable, satisfied, and hopeful social atmosphere.
Autumn can be known in one leaf!
Being able to lead more than 100,000 cadres and masses in military sub-divisions to today's Guan Fei really lives up to its name.
Perhaps, such a capable person may really be able to design a good firearm.
Chinese worship the strong, believe that there are geniuses in the world who are born to know, and even half-believe in the occult such as qigong, supernatural ability, gods and ghosts, do not admit or deny, and have faint expectations. So the better Guan Fei's performance, the more relieved they are.
Originally, it was speculated that it was a trip to the mountains and rivers, but after seeing the development of the military division, they had many infinite reveries.
