Chapter 39: Upgrades
The next day, after Chen Nian completed the necessary professional courses in school according to the curriculum arranged by Chen Guo, he returned to his room and began his first "small class" study.
This small lesson is about secrecy regulations, but in fact, Chen Nian already had a preliminary understanding of this in his previous life.
It's just that he has been doing relatively marginal work before, and his awareness of "confidentiality" is really not so strong.
So this also led him to do a lot of things that were at risk of leaking secrets before---- ran to the library to draw pictures, and also exposed his goal as a typical mistake.
There is no doubt that this mistake was repeatedly whipped by the teacher in charge of the secrecy class, and it was mentioned 10 times in a two-hour class.
Of course, this teaching method did take root in his mind the ethereal concept of "confidentiality awareness".
At the very least, he has formed the reflex of "thinking about whether to violate the regulations before doing anything".
In addition, the teacher also explained to him in detail the confidentiality regulations currently in force.
For example, the division of top secret, secret, and secret three-level secrecy.
Project 22 is currently tentatively classified at present, which means that if it is leaked, it may cause serious damage to national security and interests.
For the management of such confidential projects, in addition to the ten articles of confidentiality, what is more important is the complicated and cumbersome implementation measures.
Including communication equipment control, personnel review, confidential data and carrier management, process management and so on.
Chen Nian didn't need to write down these specific measures completely, because someone would constantly remind him.
Therefore, his perception is not too strong for the time being.
For him now, the strongest perception is that he has changed his mobile phone again.
In the future, the Motorola given to him by Chen Guo can only be used to deal with life affairs, and it has also been monitored.
It's uncomfortable, but there must be a point.
But if you want to say how awkward it is, it's not that much.
If you are frank and open, how can you monitor it?
Social death?
If the comrades in charge of secrecy work really make you feel that the society is dead, then they are probably about to be laid off.
At the end of the course, the teacher said to Chen Nian earnestly:
"Actually, you are a very good little comrade---- your temperament is very calm, not like a young man."
"Such a person, in fact, is the best job to keep secret."
"Because, most of the time, the leakage is not because of the temptation of interests, but simply negligence and arrogance."
"Do you know how our worst leak in almost two years happened?"
"It's one of us senior researchers, because we can't stand the provocation of others, and takes the initiative to say the key data of a certain project, so as to prove that we are better than some people."
"Isn't that stupid, you say? Do we need proof? Isn't the result the best proof of this? ”
"But by then, he had completely forgotten about it."
"So, you have to hold steady."
"Your identity is special, and you will have more opportunities to encounter this kind of scene in the future, don't be taken away by others, and don't fall into the trap set by others."
Chen Nian nodded solemnly, he was very confident in this.
I will never leak a secret in a hurry to prove something.
Because I have seen the future.
And in the future, time will tell.
......
And while Chen Nian was receiving training in confidentiality, something related to "leaking" was happening quietly.
Guam, inside a U.S. Air Force base.
In a heavily guarded office, two commanders of no lower rank sat across from each other smoking cigars.
“...... So the directive from Washington's side is clear? Asking us to increase the frequency of our investigations? Why? ”
The major general, with a bushy beard on his chin, asked.
His name was Leon, and he was one of the best of the younger generation in the Navy, and he was in the prime of his life and extremely aggressive in his approach.
He had planned many "edge operations" against Huaxia, and one of them achieved considerable results---- which caused Huaxia to lose a plane.
Of course, it was not without losses, at least most of the classified documents on the detained reconnaissance plane did not have time to be destroyed.
However, compared to the symbolic "results", the importance of these secrets has been invisibly overlooked.
But even such a person still has some doubts when faced with the instruction he received.
Because the intent of that directive is a little too radical.
It can even be said that it has gone beyond a certain bottom line and reached the level of almost "provocation".
"The reason is very complicated, in short, it is related to the new aircraft of the Huaxia side."
The young officer on the opposite side replied.
"New planes? Did you say the Firebird? I remember Washington's predicted time of service was next year, right? ”
"At this point in time, no matter what we do, we can't change the ending, so why waste our flight hours in vain?"
Leon asked, puzzled.
"No, things have changed."
"According to our reliable information, Huaxia has suspended the purchase of AL-31FN, and it seems that they intend to develop their own engine."
"This engine is likely to be the WS-10 that has already been approved."
"There is a high probability that they have some technological breakthrough, and the expected benefits of such a breakthrough are much higher than the benefits of Firebird mass production and service on time, so they would rather continue to wait."
"But the problem is, we don't want them to wait."
"In times like these, it's necessary for them to have their own third-generation aircraft, and it's also the option to maximize profits."
"A decent third-generation aircraft helps maintain balance on the sea surface and maintain the tacit understanding between the two sides in this area."
"If the balance is broken, it won't be a good choice for us, no matter which side the scales are on."
Hearing this, Leon nodded slightly.
He already understood what the young officer from Washington meant.
"So, you just want to take advantage, but you don't want to fight or leave, do you?"
"If our advantage is too big, they will 'break the boat', and if our advantage is too small, the situation will be reversed."
"And the key is the Firebird, it can't fly too late or too well, right?"
"That's it."
The young officer nodded without hesitation, and then continued:
"So, that's our strategy---- we're going to put pressure on them from the air to re-push their procurement plans."
"That AL-31FN must be mounted on the Firebird, and the Firebird must be allowed to fly into the air as soon as possible."
"We don't want them to end the project...... Of course, we don't want the firebird to grow into a real firebird, and it's good to be a turkey. ”
"Hahaha......"
Leon laughed, and then, shaking his head, said with a slight contempt:
"You politicians always think too much...... Firebird? That's just a name. ”
"With the current technology of the Huaxia people, how can they build a fighter that can match us?"
"What if they were allowed to continue R&D? I think maybe getting them to recognize the facts is the way to solve the problem once and for all......"
"It's not that simple."
The young officer shook his head.
"Huaxia is not India, they have a saying called 'make a fortune with a muffled voice'."
"This condition is the most dangerous."
"If we want to keep track of what they're doing, it's better to make them ...... Well, make some noise......"
