"Haha, haha, this time the employees are actively subscribing for shares, all the limits have been bought, and they have learned the lessons of the Longquan base,..." After listening to Shanshan's report, Xie Lei said happily. The upper limit is still 1,000 shares, but the number of shares for middle-level cadres has been reduced to 10,000 shares, the assistant to the general manager is 50,000 shares, and the maximum limit for the general manager and board members is 100,000.

"The plate of the steel company is too big, and now there are many people in the city and province who are also red-eyed and want to participate, and the benefits can't let them get too much!" When convening a meeting of the deputy general manager and the board of directors to determine the shares of employees, Xie Lei said.

"What if those people want to buy it?" Mayor Zhao asked.

"Each of our three parties has a quota of 100, and the maximum limit for each quota is 50,000 shares, which will be handled separately. This time, in terms of infrastructure, factory building, and many other things, the relevant personnel of the brother unit have made great efforts, and they should also be rewarded! "With this resolution of the board of directors, of course, no one will let go, and all the places were used up before the launching ceremony.

"Xie Lei, at 9:30 tomorrow morning, report to the Qingyuan Military Region Headquarters on time, the chief has something to look for you!"

On 5 May, two days after several steel inspection reports from the rolling mill were delivered to the military region by Minister Qin's hands, Director Bai of the General Hospital called him to formally inform him. According to the level, the director of the cancer hospital is under the jurisdiction of the General Hospital.

"Grandpa Xu, what did you say they were looking for me to talk about, and the steel thing was also done according to the regulations,..." After receiving the call, Xie Lei was a little puzzled, and came to ask Xu Longfeng, such a formal notice, there must be something important to discuss.

"Haha, haha, I'll know, I'll understand tomorrow, I'm afraid that they won't eat you?"

"Grandma Xu, where is Xiaoxue, why haven't you seen her for a day?"

"She said she had something to do and was going out for a few days, and I didn't know where she went!"

"It's weird, she should say hello to me if she has something, really!"

……

After the celebration, more than a dozen mayors approached several ministers to talk about liberalizing the domestic car market. It has attracted the attention of Vice Premier Li, and he has stated that he will study it as soon as possible after he returns. If you want to expand the automobile production line, you can't implement it concretely.

"Xiao Lei, my father said that if the Huaxia passenger car market has a liberalization policy, we will launch a model with a price more suitable for ordinary people, and the production line can be put into production with a slight improvement. Father said that he has prepared several styles, and the price and performance are more suitable for all kinds of needs in China! After attending the celebration and returning home, Felix took out several photos of passenger cars with different styles and handed them to Xie Lei.

"Hey, why didn't you say it earlier, taking advantage of our ministerial-level leaders, bringing this matter up, so that they can make a decision as soon as possible,..." "Father said that to ensure the interests of your joint-stock company, launch one every few years, so that the company can keep a new car coming out at any time, and our foreign companies use this way to attract guests!"

"Oh, I see, thank you!"

"Your name is Xie Lei, the chief is waiting for you, please change into a military uniform first!" Xie Lei wore a half-new and old military uniform, and came to the headquarters of the Qingyuan Military Region as promised, and a colonel received him, took him to an office, took out a brand new military uniform, and then closed the door, leaving him to change his military uniform alone.

"Am I not wearing a military uniform, do I want to see some big man? Hey, this costume seems a little wrong, how can the fabric be so delicate? After Xie Lei touched it carefully, he was even more sure that this military uniform was not ordinary, "Hehe, is there something good about my turn?" ”

His guess was correct, after changing into a military uniform and walking into Chief Hong's office, Chief Hong and another person who was obviously not low in rank sat on the sofa and talked. The man was in his forties, and from the perspective of demeanor and cultivation, he was obviously a superior person, and even Chief Hong didn't have the usual smile and casual appearance when he saw him come in.

"Hello Chief!"

"This is Chief of Staff Zhao of the Military Commission, this time he made a special trip to Qingyuan to find you with something to discuss!" When Hong Desheng saw him come in, he said. Of course, Xie Lei gave another military salute.

"Xie Lei, come, sit down!" Chief of Staff Zhao said with a smile and pointed to the sofa opposite.

"I came to Qingyuan this time on the entrustment of the head of the Military Commission, just to reward you and give you meritorious service. You provided the 'Wisdom No. 1' for the troops, and you handed over a considerable amount of money to the Military Commission. Now, special steel products that meet the requirements have been smelted, and they have made outstanding contributions to the construction of the troops.

Because your situation is very special, I can't announce it publicly, but later, at the division-level cadre meeting, as part of the commendation, you will be awarded the corresponding military rank and you will be credited. You have held many positions in the local area, but in any case, you are a soldier, and it is a soldier's duty to serve the motherland! After Counselor Zhao finished speaking, he looked at his watch.

"It's almost time, it's time to start!" Chief Hong nodded and said.

The three of them came to the small meeting, and a bright military flag was newly hung on the wall of the rostrum. There were twenty or thirty military cadres at or above the deputy division level sitting below, and Xie Lei saw that Minister Qin was also among them.

"On behalf of the Military Commission, I announce that I will award the rank of colonel Xie Lei of the Qingyuan Military Region, and I will record a special meritorious service!" After coming to the conference room, Chief of Staff Zhao took out the commendation order and the award order from his briefcase and solemnly read it out. After the award ceremony, Xie Lei followed them to a small conference room. There were already two soldiers inside, one of whom was about the same age as him, and the other who was forty or fifty years old, tall and with the demeanor of a superior person.

"Xiao Lei, this is Deputy Commander Shen, you talk, let's have lunch together!" Chief Hong confessed a few words and closed the door of the conference room.

"Xie Lei, now you are also a senior general of our army, can you tell me which of our army, navy, and air force has the weakest equipment and should be improved first?" Sitting face to face on the sofa, after Hong Desheng left, Chief of Staff Zhao asked casually.

"To tell you the truth, I don't know much about the troops, and if you want me to say it, the equipment of the three armed forces is very poor, and it has long been unable to meet the needs of modern warfare, and this is a serious consequence of the turmoil of the past ten years, and no one can do anything about it.

Personally, I believe that the evolution of modern warfare is no longer the tactical operation of relying on crowds of people in the past. The Army can drastically reduce its personnel and use the funds to feed a large number of troops and personnel to improve artillery and mobile equipment so that it is as close as possible to the level of international land warfare. Focus on strengthening the ** regiment and ** battalion that have the ability to assault and can handle emergencies. A large amount of money will be used to help this small group of truly combat-capable mobile and assault troops.

The issue of air supremacy is currently very weak in our air force, and it cannot be reversed overnight, so it must be resolved at a later stage. The modernization of the naval fleet is, in my opinion, the most important thing we should do at the moment! He was saying that the soldier, who was about his age, was taking notes at a rapid pace.

"Judging by current trends, the probability of a third world war in the coming decades is zero, and the simple reason is that the balance of nuclear deterrence cannot be upset for a long time. And the competition for the sea is something that will inevitably happen after the economic development of various countries reaches a certain level in the future! ”

"Why is this bound to happen?" Commander Shen interjected and asked.

"Because of the problem of resources, the resources of the land are limited, and there will always be a day when they will be exhausted, and they are far from meeting the needs of economic development. The resources that the ocean has, especially the oil resources it has, cannot match on land. Since it is impossible for a large-scale war between countries to break out, the competition for marine resources has become another contest of military strength between countries, and it will inevitably lead to the struggle for local conflicts.

It can be said that the competition for marine resources is another manifestation of war between countries. The battle for the economy is far more terrible than hand-to-hand combat. Future wars will rely on scientific and technological competition, and there will be no difference between the front and the rear. With a force of a few thousand and dozens of casualties, it is possible to occupy a country, and it is by no means alarmist and fantastical! Without a strong coastal defense force, no matter how strong the army and air force are, they will have no place to play, and they can only fight a defensive war, not to mention go out of their homes, let alone go to the open sea to compete for marine resources.

According to the textbooks, our China is vast, rich in resources, and inexhaustible in fresh water. How bad our oil reserves are, you certainly know better than me. Without a strong navy, we will certainly suffer a big loss in the future competition for marine resources.

Enhancing maritime power not only strengthens the combat capability of the navy, but also extends the land to the sea!

If someone else drove an aircraft carrier to our coastal waters, their air supremacy would be brought into play to a great advantage, and then the land and air forces would attack us in coordination and form a local advantage, what should we do? You are the head of the Central Military Commission, an expert in military affairs, and you must see the problem farther than me, these are just my personal opinions, and what you say is not necessarily right! ”

"The analysis is thorough and it is completely correct!" Chief of Staff Zhao praised from the bottom of his heart. But he was very emotional in his heart: "I knew that he was very powerful, an expert in cultural relics, ran a hospital, built a car from scratch, and now built a steel mill, but I didn't expect his analysis of the military aspect to be so thorough, as if he had experienced it himself." No wonder the chief asked him to lead the army by name and hand over such an important engineering project to a young man who may not even have seen a warship! ”

"No matter how powerful the army is, it is always human, and it is impossible to train all the soldiers in the army to become special forces and marines. In order to maintain local public order and deal with emergencies, local armed police units can be formed. Of course, it is a good thing that the air force is strong, but it is impossible to fight in the far seas, and there must always be aircraft carriers to provide it with bases for take-off and landing. Therefore, the strength of the navy and the modernization of ships are the foundation of a strong army, which is of great importance! ”

Xie Lei added. I thought to myself: "Since you have promoted my rank, you have to say a few decent words to be worthy of the title of colonel, hehe!" ”
