New Beginnings (22)
Qin Tongren put on thick industrial flat sunglasses and raised his head to look at the sky. Through the lenses, the scorching sun turns into a reddish circle that can be seen directly. This is one of the many pieces of equipment to be prepared for the glass factory, as well as for the ironworks that are being built. In the face of molten liquids that radiate high heat, goggles are essential equipment. So Qin Tongren didn't bother at all, and tried hundreds of pairs of glasses one by one. The transparency of this lens is not too good, and the quality is not uniform enough, and the difference can be seen with the naked eye. You Wei calmly looked at Qin Tongren receiving equipment, and turned a blind eye to Qin Tongren's slightly frowning brows from time to time, You Wei did not take the quality of the product lightly, this is already the largest quality control level in the base at this stage, even if Qin Tongren is not satisfied, You Gu will not be able to come up with a better product in the short term.
"It's okay." Qin Tongren finally said something slowly. After hearing this, You Yu immediately handed the signature form to Qin Tongren and signed to hand over the goods.
While watching Qin Tongren sign his name, You Yu asked with a smile, "Teacher Qin, what's going on with the grenade." ”
Qin Tongren didn't answer immediately, he looked at his boss You Wei, not quite sure how to answer. You Wei's current administrative title is director and secretary of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. The name Chen Ke is very atmospheric, even to the point that it is not worthy of the name. Qin Tongren was quite scornful about this. Of course, a large part of this emotion is not really dissatisfied with such a boring thing as a name, in Qin Tongren's heart, the most suitable for this director position should not be the political work cadre You Wei, Yan Fu, who has led the Tianjin Machinery Bureau, is the object that convinces Qin Tongren.
After a pause, Qin Tongren said, "Less than eight thousand pieces have been produced. Gunpowder can't keep up. ”
Black powder is still used in the base area, but the formula adopts the optimized granular black powder formula, which is far from picric acid powder. You Yu didn't comment, just nodded. Shen Songwen, who was beside Qin Tongren, glanced at Youyi, and now the industrial sector in the base area is composed of two major factions, on the one hand, the Beijing department, and on the other hand, the southern department. Beijing was born in Tianjin Machinery Bureau and belongs to a genuine military enterprise. There has never been a female technician in the factory, let alone a woman to be the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. If Qin Tongren hopes that Yan Fu can replace You Wei, it is out of consideration of practical experience, and Shen Songwen is more out of disgust with female bosses. Watching You Gou enter and leave the political center and decide the future events of the People's Party, these decisions directly affect the future of hundreds of thousands of people in the base area, and can even determine the future of Shen Songwen. Thinking of this, Shen Songwen felt a kind of discomfort and dissatisfaction in his heart. The most important thing is that You Wei is still Shen Songwen's boss and directly manages Shen Songwen. Being ridden on the head by a woman made Shen Songwen feel extremely dissatisfied.
After You Wei left, Shen Songwen lowered his voice and said to Qin Tongren: "Mr. Qin, let's talk to Chairman Chen and let Mr. Yan be the director." ”
Qin Tongren was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Shen Songwen to be so straightforward. Although he agreed in his heart, Qin Tongren didn't want to make this kind of thing a personal struggle. When he was in the Tianjin Machinery Bureau, the internal personnel struggle had already annoyed Qin Tongren. Since You Gou is an old member of the People's Party and has a deep foundation, unless Chen Ke makes up his mind, it is unrealistic to pull You Gou down and take the conventional line.
"Director You's ability is still very good, we must admit this." Qin Tongren said.
Shen Songwen immediately misunderstood Qin Tongren's meaning, he thought that Qin Tongren agreed with his idea, "How much more capable can she be in terms of ability?" Although Director You can't say that he can't do it, Director You is from the chemical industry. According to everyone, the earliest pharmaceutical was also made by Chairman Chen himself. Among the various designs proposed in recent days, Chairman Chen has made the greatest contribution. Director You is only responsible for the implementation. So how much difference can it make if someone else is the director? ”
This is not unreasonable, Qin Tongren had not thought about it so much before, but after Shen Songwen's analysis, he felt that something was wrong. Chen Ke's knowledge is naturally extremely admired by everyone, so it is impossible for Chen Ke not to know how capable You Wei is. In the case of knowing You Gu and Yan Fu very well, Chen Ke still chose You Wei as the director, and it can only be said that You Wei is the suitable person identified by Chen Ke. If everyone proposes to let Yan Fu be the director again, Chen Ke will definitely not agree easily. Yan Fu is the Minister of Education and the principal of the Military Academy, and everyone already knows about it. Shen Songwen felt that if Yan Fu was concurrently appointed as the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, it would be impossible for Yan Fu to really come to do research, just a name. And who actually leads the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense? Is it a wanderer? It's still Shen Songwen.
Because he has seen a lot of personnel struggles, Qin Tongren doesn't want to get involved in these things at all, since it is impossible for Yan Fu to personally guide the military industrial enterprises anyway, then it is extremely difficult to move the military industry. Moreover, You Wei has a deep foundation in the People's Party and the army, and it is by no means something that Shen Songwen can move.
Thinking of this, Qin Tongren couldn't help but express his attitude, "Comrade Shen Songwen, we still have to obey the orders of our superiors, since Chairman Chen asked Comrade You Yi to be the director, it is definitely not a random appointment." ”
Shen Songwen never expected Qin Tongren to make such a final statement, "Mr. Qin, I think even if Mr. Yan is not the director, then it is most suitable for you to be the director." How capable can a woman be? It's not that it's been stained with Chairman Chen's light. If you think Chairman Chen disagrees, then I'll say it. You don't have to show up. ”
"Comrade Shen Songwen, now we need to unite. Comrade You Wei's ability is not unsuitable for this position, and you are in such a hurry to ask for a change, just like we are going to make trouble. This matter is stopped, and you are not allowed to mention it again, and you are not allowed to think about it. Qin Tongren has made up his mind not to entangle himself in personnel struggles, as a scholar, Qin Tongren does not like personnel struggles, this is his habit.
"Humph!" Shen Songwen just snorted, but stopped talking. He really didn't expect Qin Tongren to not support him. He didn't dare to rashly ask Yan Fu if he wanted to take up this position. Based on his understanding of Yan Fu's serious attitude, Yan Fu will most likely not agree to a part-time job. Without the support of heavyweights like Qin Tongren, it would be extremely difficult to oust the annoying You Wei from power. We'll see! Sooner or later, I'm going to take this woman off. Shen Songwen thought angrily.
You Wei didn't know that someone was already so dissatisfied with her, but with You You's personality, even if she knew, she wouldn't really care too much. Leaving the handover site, You Yu went to the military headquarters, and along the way, he saw that the troops were in full swing carrying out pre-war training. The warriors carried long wooden ladders and rushed towards the mock city walls of the makeshift city. After erecting the ladder, the warriors began to climb up the ladder. The simulated city wall is only ten meters wide, and it is full after putting down the three long staircases. From a distance, the walls are full of figures in blue military uniforms. Everyone was training hard with big knives on their backs and training grenades pinned to their waists.
Below the city, rifle teams are lining up for shooting training, and a smaller number of artillery units are also conducting this other training. As the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, You Wei is very familiar with Chen Ke's troop equipment formulated at this stage, which is very simple, rifles, grenades, mortars. It's not that machine guns can't be built, the problem is that machine guns require too much ammunition to be built. To what extent the equipment will develop in the future, this game is not certain. However, the equipment used to attack Anqing this time was very clear, that is, rifles, grenades, and mortars. Even the tactical wandering was very clear, artillery suppression, rifle fire, climbing ladders, and constantly throwing grenades at the head of the city halfway. Use all kinds of firepower to suppress the enemy and seize control of the city walls. Finally, under the cover of the fire of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, they put in close combat troops and defeated the enemy in Anqing in one fell swoop.
Imagining the scene of the troops climbing the ladder in the face of the enemy's bullets, You Mu felt a burst of excitement. But she shuddered at the thought of the casualties of the soldiers. Therefore, You Gu must make sure that the equipment exported from the military-industrial complex is the best. It has already been discussed at the Central Committee of the People's Party that the Battle of Anqing must be won. Therefore, the commander of the unit must not allow the rear to take refuge in disaster safety, and must stand at the front. The civil affairs department made preparations for the mass post-war compensation for the fallen soldiers. For You Gui, in the team that went out this time, Hua Xiongmao and He Zudao were old friends, and the scale of the previous battles was very small, and there were few casualties. In this battle of Anqing, You Wei had to admit that she was likely to face a life-and-death parting with her old friend. Therefore, You Gou must go to the military headquarters.
When I entered the military headquarters, I saw that there were people in all offices, and everyone's voices were much louder than usual, and the pace was even more hurried. It's just that after walking more than 20 meters, several people have rushed past behind You Gui, and accidentally bumped into You Gui's shoulder.
When I entered Hua Xiongmao's office, I smelled an unpleasant smell of sweat and the spicy smell of cigarette pouch pot as soon as I opened the door. You Wei couldn't help frowning, the sand table in the war room was full of people, all of whom were political commissars and commanders of various troops. Because of the lack of wood, the tables are made of red brick and cement. Hua Xiongmao held the whip and pointed at the waters of the Yangtze River. We explain the problems that may be encountered in each area and the local situation. Not only that, each staff officer has its own special area for which it is responsible, and after Hua Xiongmao is probably finished, he will let these staff officers personally explain the area of responsibility. The comrades of the unit were asking questions. The staff officers explained these issues one by one. In the course of this dialogue, issues that have not been previously considered are identified and discussed in a targeted manner.
This is a characteristic of the BJP combat meeting. We will not fight unprepared battles, let alone hide our battle plans from everyone. For each link, it is necessary to conduct a serious and realistic discussion. Although Zhang Yu was the commander of the water detachment, Zhang Yu did not explain it in person. The staff officers of the detachment came to answer questions. He just listened quietly, and for the comrades' various questions, even if the staff officers couldn't answer some questions that were too full of blame, he looked at Zhang Yu with a pleading gaze, and Zhang Yu didn't say a word.
Suddenly, many people's eyes turned to Zhang Yu, and even the explanation paused temporarily, Zhang Yu was a little strange. Then I smelled the unique aroma of the girl. In a room full of gay men, the smell was quite pungent. He turned his head to look, but saw You Wei standing behind him.
You Gou said frankly: "Zhenglan, foot road." Come out and I've got something to bother you for a few minutes. ”
Hua Xiongmao didn't know what You Yu was looking for him, and He Zudao was a little puzzled at first, and then his face was slightly red. Everyone knows He Zudao's attitude towards You Wei on weekdays, and several senior officers can't help but show a smile full of meaning on their faces.
The three of them stood still in the office, and You Yu was the first to speak: "It's dangerous to beat Anqing this time. I don't have much to say, Zhenglan, you must be careful. ”
Hua Xiongmao didn't expect You Yu to come over and say this, but he was quite moved in shock. You Wei stretched out his right hand to Hua Xiongmao, and the palms of the two old comrades and friends were immediately clasped together. "We will definitely be able to defeat Anqing." Hua Xiongmao only said this sentence.
"Hmm." You Wei tightened his mouth and nodded almost exaggeratedly, and then let go of the aching palm that was being held.
After saying goodbye to Hua Xiongmao, You Wei took out a holster with a pistol inserted in his satchel, which You Wei bought when he was in Shanghai, and originally wanted to defend himself during the rural social survey. Until now, except for gun training, it has not come in handy.
"Foot Road, this gun is lent to you." After speaking, You Wei couldn't help but help He Zudao tie the gun around his waist.
"Sister Youyou! I'm going to win. He Zudao was a little stammered with excitement.
You Yu listened to He Zudao's passionate voice, she knew He Zudao's character very well. When it came to a critical juncture, He Zudao always dared to stand up. The attack on Anqing was a big battle, and You Wei was very worried about He Zudao. Thinking that He Zudao might not be able to come back, You Yu suddenly felt that her nose was sour, she quickly held back her emotions and said, "Give me back the gun when you come back." ”
"Yes!" He Zudao didn't know how to express his emotions, so he could only salute You Wei with the most standard military salute.
You Wei nodded, and also stretched out his palm to He Zudao. He Zudao held You Yan's hand with tears in his eyes. You Wei only felt that she was afraid that she would shed tears if she continued like this, and she didn't want to shed tears. Because she thinks it's unlucky. Almost breaking free of He Zudao's palm, You Wei turned his head without saying a word, and walked out of the door quickly.
Walking out of the army headquarters, the cold air of winter hit directly in the face. You Wei felt two particularly cold spots on her face, and she reached out to wipe them. Although she didn't want to shed tears, she finally let the tears come out of her eyes.
