With Vice Chairman Li's secondment, the military's main battle equipment upgrade plan submitted by Mr. Liu was unanimously approved after being discussed at the Military Commission.

Although this five-year plan for the comprehensive improvement of the main battle equipment will increase the expenditure by tens of billions of yuan each year, judging from the goal after the transformation, the main battle equipment and other land and sea weapons except fighter planes will be close to the world level in an all-round way.

There is no doubt that this is a grand goal, but from the existing materials provided by Mr. Liu, whether it is materials, processing technology, software systems, and power systems, there have been good foundations and breakthroughs, and the feasibility of this plan is very high in everyone's opinion.

After passing the discussion at the meeting of the Military Commission, Mr. Liu took the report and personally reported it to the No. 1 chief, and was approved by the No. 1 chief, and the matter was brought to the Standing Committee for decision-making.

At this point, in fact, it is just a passing motion, the military is self-contained, and the draft involving the military, since No. 1 has been approved, it is really not something that ordinary Standing Committee members can easily shake.

As for the issue of funding, no matter how hard it is, it can't be bitter about national defense; the investment of tens of billions of yuan is really not much for the current domestic budget of 10 trillion yuan, and compared with the grand goal proposed by the military that the transformed main battle equipment can comprehensively confront the vast majority of the world's main battle equipment, this expenditure is really insignificant, and everyone can save a little less food and drink.

Under this premise, although the two Great Elders had the pain of knocking out their teeth and swallowing blood, they could only vote in favor of this promotion plan, and on this matter of principle, even as the Great Elder, they did not dare to fight against each other, everyone knew that this person had just taken the throne and had a long reign.

After the dust settled on this upgrade plan, the military naturally launched a secret bidding for new special steel internally, in the face of the performance parameters of the new special steel proposed by the military, in addition to the new city special steel under Dushi Heavy Industries, other steel companies can only hide their faces and go, and the quality of the steel bars used to repair a house can be discounted, anyway, there is a double design margin, and there will be no problems in general.

But the military's things, how many tests do they have to go through, okay is okay, no is not good, the chance of wanting to be sloppy and foolish is too little, not to mention that there are very severe punishment measures, so this super single has no suspense in the hands of Xincheng Special Steel.

In the face of such a huge order all of a sudden, the existing scale of Xincheng Special Steel is far from being able to meet, after the expansion of production capacity is logically proposed, the National Development and Reform Commission does not dare to make a time, and obediently completed the approval of the merger procedures of Xincheng Special Steel for the southwest steel, and the relevant departments should also coordinate and support the upgrading and transformation of Xincheng Special Steel to the southwest.

For Cai Siqiang, who had been fed up before, this can be regarded as a puff of anger, loans, land resources applications, etc. are very smooth to get in hand, the first phase of the million-ton special steel production transformation project is expected to be completed within 3 months with abundant financial support.

For those overlords in the steel industry, everyone's glasses fell to the ground, no one thought that this dragon and tiger battle, in the end, was such a result, Dushi Heavy Industry was able to say that the military was able to use the main battle equipment upgrade this kind of off-the-plate move. It shows that the resources of Dushi Heavy Industries in the military are really extraordinary.

Linked to some legends, the background of Dushi Heavy Industries and SAL has become a matter of conversation in the industry. It is foreseeable that under the impetus of a large number of orders from the military, a new steel giant will be born. For small and medium-sized ordinary iron and steel enterprises, this has little to do with them, and there is no intersection between their products.

But for several steel giants, this fast-growing Xincheng Special Steel is their heart, and the most lucrative piece of cake in the steel industry will now be cut away.

It's just that now this is the strategic support enterprise set by the No. 1 chief, who dares to interfere with its development, and can vaguely see the smart people who can vaguely see the general trend of the steel industry in advance, and now for Cai Siqiang's olive branch, it is basically an invitation, compared to other industries where the senior management team is difficult to form, the domestic accumulation of talents in the steel industry is too much.

Therefore, after completing the acquisition procedures, Cai Siqiang took advantage of the opportunity of the major transformation in a short period of time to complete the replacement of the new management team reached in Southwest by the way.

It turns out that the management team of the southwest is more like a government agency, and most of the executives are quite average in terms of business ability, but fortunately, Cai Siqiang has a good relationship with the local government, and the original executives go to the government channel to re-digest, and correspondingly in terms of workers, Cai Siqiang promised to accept all the resettlement, because the news was blown very early, a personnel overhaul, and it did not cause fluctuations in the hearts of the workers in the factory at all.

Although the new Southwest Da Special Steel Company does not need so many workers, after all, the degree of automation of the new production line is a world of difference compared to the previous one, but Cai Siqiang has opened a number of subsidiary steel component deep processing plants, which not only completely digests the surplus workers in steelmaking production, but also creates a lot of new jobs, and solves a lot of surplus labor for the local government where Southwest Da is located.

Relying on Du's leading technical capabilities and strong financial strength, Cai Siqiang is at ease in solving these problems, and this way of doing things that does not push the burden to the local area, but creates new opportunities for the local government is even more praised by the local government.

It is precisely with this good reputation that SAL and Duche Heavy Industries have always been sought after and cooperated well with local governments in their acquisition activities.

Seeing that the local government where the Southwest reached the acquisition of the project was rich, the local government where the Oriental Power Company, which originally had some ideas in terms of shares, could not sit still, and the local mayor personally came to the door to discuss cooperation with Cai Siqiang, and this time the local government only asked to retain 30 percent of the shares, and this latest concession made Cai Siqiang quickly complete the acquisition of this new company.

Although Duke's nuclear power development is still only at the level of a joint venture with the Superman family, after winning Dongfang Power, Cai Siqiang injected enough resources into Dongfang Power in accordance with Duke's development plan in nuclear power, and made every effort to develop the research and development of 300MW, 600MW and 1000MW steam turbines.

With the support of world-class raw materials and processing technology, coupled with the use of generous salaries to attract and recruit top R&D talents, the problems of raw materials, technology, talents, and funds that hindered the progress of Dongfang Power were solved at once, and the R&D of large-scale steam turbines has since entered the fast lane.

This unexpected gain, coupled with the investment in Qiyang Automobile's newly built Qiyang Xingchen Automobile Co., Ltd., which aims to build high-end cars, made Cai Siqiang very busy for a while.
