Twenty-six meals. After sending Russell and them back, he watched Juqi and the two Yang Xiaozhen leave. Fan Wuxian also returned home.

Now that we have entered June, things on my father's side have almost been done, and this time I have retained the position of executive vice premier, and there has not been much change in the work But there are some more burdens, and the institutional reform is progressing well, and there is finally no big mess.

I heard my father say that the impact of this ** is very large, and the health system has completely changed its leadership. After Fan Wuxian pulled from it, several disciples of Mr. Fan Tianlan supported the façade of the Ministry of Health.

"My senior brothers are also academicians and the like. With many years of management experience, he is always a hundred times stronger than the original bureaucrats of the Ministry of Health. Fan Wuxian said.

"How's your African mine going?" Fan Heng remembered this and couldn't help asking.

"It's okay, after the separation technology has been deduced by the domestic side, some additions have been made. It should work, and the next thing is construction and production, and the blacks are still relatively easy to deal with. Fan replied.

In fact, in the past few months after returning to China, Fan Wuxian has not been idle, and the mixed iron mine in Africa has always been a major event in his heart, but now it has been done, and once it is put into production at the end of the year, the return on output should be very gratifying.

The domestic demand for Qin metal is not very large, mainly concentrated in medical and aerospace technology, but if it is applied to nuclear submarines in the near future, the demand will increase sharply, so Fan Wuxi is very concerned about this aspect, and hopes that after it is put into production this year, there will be a more optimistic output.

The most proud thing is that after Bush Jr. heard about this incident, while busy with the Iraq war, he sent a special envoy to China to contact Fan Wuji, so that he could verify whether he could order titanium from Fan's Investment Group in the near future.

For this point, Fan Wuxi did not say anything to death, after all, the domestic demand is limited, and it is impossible for him to hold all the titanium supplied to the United States, and it is cheaper than others. It's better to sell them some yourself.

The most important thing is that Fan Wuxian knows very well that he is far away from Africa to mine, and the domestic government is simply beyond the reach of the whip, and he is unable to protect his own industry, if he gets into trouble with the Americans again. Maybe he will be wiped out by someone else's armed forces that day, but if you take the line of the Americans, it will be much more convenient, not to mention that hanging the Americans' Star-Spangled Banner is much more effective than the Five-Star Red Flag.

This is not to say that Fan Wuxian does not have a sense of national awareness, but the influence of the domestic government on the outside world. It's really limited, even after something happens, they are willing to help, at most, they pay close attention and seriously protest something, and it doesn't play a practical role. But working with the Americans is different, if something really happens on your side. Just give George W. Bush a phone call, and the Pentagon will be able to drive fighter jets over in no time, and the special forces will be like that in twelve hours. This is because of the difference between the strength and weakness of the country, and the confidence is different.

As a result, in the evening, Admiral Chen Guang Yi visited.

Chen Guangyi naturally came to visit Fan Heng, and it is unlikely that he is visiting Fan Wuxi. Although it is said that Fan's Investment Group also has cooperation projects with the Navy. But it was not enough to labor, and an admiral deigned to come to his door.

Chen Guangyi sat here for more than half an hour before he said goodbye and left.

After he left, Fan Wuxian asked Fan Yudao, "Why did he suddenly come to the door?"

"Something is going on inside the navy, and the leader is going to be changed," Fan Heng replied.

The incident in the navy was before May, and Fan Wuxian had heard about it, but he didn't notice it too much. At this time, after listening to my father Fan Heng's words, I remembered such a thing.

Some time ago. When everyone was going all out to fight Canada, Xinhua News Agency once revealed an astonishing piece of news: a submarine of the Chinese Navy had been wrecked in the East China Sea. All 70 officers and men on board died.

This news is for Chinese who are already living in fear. It is undoubtedly worse than the worse. However, China's state media's unprecedented coverage of the naval submarine crash should be said to be a great step forward for the Chinese press to move toward honesty and independence.

In the more than 50 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state media has never reported on such incidents, which is not to say that the Chinese Navy's submarines have never had accidents. Or the Air Force aircraft have never had an accident that crashes or kills people, and this kind of accident often occurs even in the well-equipped US ** team, and this kind of incident. Under the government's tight grip on the media, it has never been allowed to report.

However, when you think about it, you have a problem. The Xinhua News Agency's press release, including punctuation, totals 125. words, on average, less than two words per person who died. Such vague reporting did not come out of the Xinhua News Agency and the boss's willingness, but was forced by the unknown man to cover up the scandal, because the top management did not want to be exposed by the international media in a few days or dozens of days after another scandal covering up the news.

And there are many strange things about the news itself, which makes people feel a little suspicious.

First, the time of the accident. The original manuscript uses the recent date, which year, month, and day does this recent refer to? Nobody knows. It all depends on everyone's understanding of this close word. We often see a little use of this word in Chinese recipes, but news reports are different from recipes, and news is most about the accuracy of time, place, people and events.

Secondly, who died? What do they call their last names? What were your hobbies? What provinces are they all from? Where are all their relatives? When were the dependents notified? How did the accident happen? Do the soldiers facing death have time to call for help? Ever tried to salvage? When will rescuers and ships arrive? How long does it take to rescue and salvage? Is there a phenomenon of survival of the slightest trace of the sister? What about the escape equipment on the boat? Why do people know nothing about this?

Thirdly, the number of people carried by submarines. The rated number of people in this Ming-class submarine is 57, but according to official reports, the death toll in the accident is 70, why are there 13 more? Why did the extra thirteen people get into the submarine and make it on board? Did this ship only carry it on the day it went out, or did it always carry it when it was used in normal times?

Generally speaking, traffic accidents occur at the time of the accident. If the casualties are caused by the carrying, the judicial authorities will investigate their legal responsibility. Could the fatal accident of the submarine be caused by the crew, and if so, who should bear the administrative and legal responsibility? Gag's position as a few scapegoats, where is the scourge and scapegoats for this incident? Apparently thought-provoking.

Fourth, the age of the submarine. According to publicly available information, the Chinese Navy has a total of 22 Ming-class submarines. It was built between 1970 and 1979. Other words. The age of the Ming-class submarine in service has passed twenty years, most likely around thirty years.

Submarines are much more dangerous than surface ships, so they also require faster equipment updates and maintenance. Is it because of the lack of military spending in the Chinese army that such old submarines are in service?

Obviously, this cannot be the reason, because over the years, the country's military spending has increased year by year, reaching about $60 billion. In recent years, when the job market has tightened across the country and the number of unemployed and laid-off workers has increased dramatically, servicemen on active duty are even treated better than state civil servants.

As for the cause of the accident. The report only said that there was a mechanical failure. It is not mentioned whether the submarine was wrecked underwater or on the surface. Generally speaking. Accidents involving the death of all crew members are more likely to occur underwater. If that's the case. There will be a large-scale search and rescue operation. to tow the submarine back to port, as the report said. But the report does not appear to mention that the navy has carried out large-scale search and rescue operations, compared to China's large-scale search and rescue of Wang Wei, a naval air force member who bravely collided with a U.S. reconnaissance plane two years ago. These seventy people died too lonely.

If the crash site is on the water, then a failure of the machine cover, such as the motor stop or the propeller stop, etc., will not lead to the death of all the occupants, and there is also a possibility of battery fluid leakage. Causing toxic gases to enter the cabin and suffocate the crew, if this is the case, it has a lot to do with the age of the submarine.

It is also possible that the torpedo on board the submarine exploded, which is very similar to the Russian Kursk accident three years ago. But after the accident, most of the crew of the Kursk survived for a long time, and knocked on the bulkhead to signal for help outside the cabin. If it were not for the fact that the Russian government and military tried to cover up the truth of the accident and did not take timely rescue measures, it would not have led to the death of all 118 officers and men on board.

All in all, this time the incident was very bizarre, and Fan Wuxian intuitively felt that there was some insider information in it.

"The specific situation, the military's report has not yet been made," Fan Heng said to his son Fan Wuxian. In any case, the leadership responsibility of the navy must be investigated, otherwise Chen Guangyi would not have done this. It's time to run. ”

Fan Wuxian nodded, thinking deeply. Everyone is self-motivated and demands progress. It is always necessary for the leaders to know, and the same is true for the military.

If you don't say anything, how can the leader know that you are asking for progress? There are no pop-ups
