At about eight o'clock in the evening, in a large compound on the right road of Kyoto Prefecture, several middle-aged people walked into a conference room one after another.

A middle-aged man in a military uniform walked into the conference room with a teacup in his hand, and said to everyone in the conference room, "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting!"

Everyone in the conference room, hearing the middle-aged man's words, the conference room, which was still a little noisy, immediately fell into silence, the middle-aged man looked at the people in the conference room, and said to one of the middle-aged people: "Lei Gang! Tell me about your findings."

The middle-aged man named Lei Gang, hearing the middle-aged man's command, immediately stood up from his seat, saluted everyone present, and introduced, "Wu Aiguo! Male, 23 years old, deputy company commander of the special operations company of the 20th Division of the 58th Army and the 172nd Regiment! He has received personal first-class merit once, second-class merit four times, and third-class merit seven times."

"In a battle in the north half a year ago, Wu Aiguo was unfortunately not hit by the enemy's shells in order to save his comrades."

"Later, the doctors in the theater hospital, after a day and a night of rescue, saved Wu Aiguo's life from the hands of death, and a month and a half ago, he was transferred from the army and was assigned to the Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, serving as the deputy chief of the procurement department."

"Wu Aiguo returned to work in the local area until now, and in less than a month, he first provided a clue to the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau, so that the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau successfully smashed an enemy den and captured seven enemy agents."

"On Monday of this week, on his way to Baoding on a business trip, because of the enemy's special personnel, there was a premeditated sabotage, which caused the convoy of the rolling mill to transport important materials to camp in the field.

"At about three o'clock in the morning of the next day, a group of enemy agents tried to take advantage of the fact that the security personnel were asleep to launch an attack on the convoy of the rolling mill, but they were discovered by Wu Aiguo and launched an attack on the enemy agents, during which Wu Aiguo successfully killed three enemy agents." z.br>

"Good! It is worthy of the people who came out of our 20th Army, even when they returned to the locality, they always kept in mind the mission of the soldiers, and even destroyed and killed so many enemy special elements twice in a row." A middle-aged man in the conference room couldn't help but applaud Wu Aiguo's case when he heard Lei Gang's introduction.

The middle-aged man at the head heard the applause of his colleagues, and reminded him: "Old Song! Lei Gang hasn't finished reporting the specific situation, why are you so anxious to applaud? Can you let Lei Gang finish reporting on the results of the investigation against Wu Aiguo, and then publish your personal thoughts?"

When Lao Song heard the reminder of the middle-aged man at the head, an unhappy expression immediately appeared on his face, and he retorted with some dissatisfaction: "Lao Lin! What is wrong with a combat hero who has repeatedly made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and has attacked enemy agents twice in a row within a month of returning to his place?"

"Deputy Song! Leader Lin didn't say that Wu Aiguo had a problem, but that some of the things that happened to Wu Aiguo were really a bit unbelievable." Lei Gang heard Lao Song's rebuttal, thought of the investigation results in his hand, and couldn't help but remind Lao Song.

Lao Song was a violent temper, and in the face of Lei Gang's reminder, Lao Song asked Lei Gang dissatisfiedly, "Lei Gang! Then tell me, what's wrong with this Wu Aiguo? If you can't say that you can't be ugly today, then you have to give an explanation to our 20th Army."

Lei Gang is naturally clear about Lao Song's character, and in the face of Lao Song's threat, Lei Gang can only bite the bullet and continue to introduce: "Leaders! In order to thank Wu Aiguo, the director of the rolling mill, Yang of the rolling mill, in order to assist the security personnel of the rolling mill in repelling the enemy's attack, held a banquet in the small canteen of the rolling mill today and invited Wu Aiguo to dinner."

"When Wu Aiguo and Director Jiang of Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperatives arrived at the rolling mill, they unexpectedly saw a few Dongying people, standing in front of the waste slag used in the rolling mill, and they were curious to ask Captain Huang of the rolling mill to understand the situation."

"When Wu Aiguo learned the purpose of these Dongying people, he immediately went to Director Yang and told Director Yang that the slag must not be sold, and that the slag contained a very important metal.

"When the Dongying people asked to buy waste slag, the big leaders were already aware of this

It was not easy to dispose of the slag, so metallurgists were arranged to test the slag, but the results did not reveal any valuable metal content."

"When the big leader heard Director Yang's report, he met with Wu Aiguo for the first time, and finally learned from Wu Aiguo that the precious metals contained in the slag are called rare earths by Western people, also known as industrial gold, and this metal material is widely used in military products."

"For example, tanks, aircraft, missiles, electronics, lasers, nuclear industry, superconductivity and other high-tech weapons are all inseparable from rare earths."

"After the big leader waited for Wu Aiguo to leave his office, he immediately sent people to contact those Dongying people, and finally determined everything Wu Aiguo said from the Dongying people in disguise."

"Those Dongying people are relying on the fact that we don't know the existence of rare earths, and they want to defraud our country of rare earth resources at the price of buying waste garbage."

"The metallurgical experts in our country have not been able to find out the value of waste slag, but Wu Aiguo, a layman, is clear about the value of waste slag, what are those experts doing?" When a middle-aged man heard Lei Gang's introduction, he was dissatisfied with the number of metallurgical experts.

When Lao Lin heard the middle-aged man's complaint, he immediately answered, "Deputy Zhang's words just now, everyone heard it, right? Our metallurgical experts have not found the value of those slags, how does Wu Aiguo, a layman, know the value of these slags? Isn't that worth investigating?"

When Lei Gang saw the leaders present, they all nodded thoughtfully in agreement, and then reported: "Ladies and gentlemen, after we launched an investigation on Wu Aiguo, we found that Wu Aiguo has participated in the work until now, and has helped food factories, rolling mills, machine repair factories, coal yards, including Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, to purchase all kinds of unplanned materials several times."

"According to the information we visited, we found Wu Aiguo's comrades-in-arms who had changed jobs, but we did not find that his comrades-in-arms had provided Wu Aiguo with any unplanned supplies."

"How can this bastard boy be opportunistic?" When Lao Song heard Lei Gang's report, an expression of hatred for iron and steel immediately appeared on his face, and he complained dissatisfied.

Lei Gang heard Lao Song's complaints, thought of their investigation results, and said with some embarrassment, "Deputy Song! According to our investigation results, Wu Aiguo did not speculate, and the prices of the materials he purchased for those factories were much lower than the market prices, but we did not find out the source of these materials."
