Chapter 2683 Six Years, Half Done
Outside the mountains.
Li Hongfeng parked his Mole Assault Vehicle in front of a camp.
This mole assault vehicle was specially produced by the Ninth Division. He had always thought that these vehicles were given to Bei'an for combat use, but he never expected that there were so many in the country.
Along the way, he really found the assault vehicle to be useful.
On steep mountain roads that tractors and tricycles can't climb, this thing can speed up and rush over them.
Even after it landed in mid-air, the car was unharmed.
In short, it's sturdy and durable.
After working there for a long time, the people there become worse than pigs.
After getting off the bus, Li Hongfeng felt his stomach churning violently, but in order to save food, he forced himself not to rub his stomach with his hands.
"Secretary Li!"
Just then, a group of people came out of the camp and shouted from afar.
Li Hongfeng looked up, immediately stepped forward, and grasped her hands in the first instant.
"Old Ma, long time no see."
"Secretary Li, it's great to see you again."
The two held hands tightly.
"You've eaten well, haven't you? You're so strong!"
"How can you compare to me? In Beijing, you'd be living the high life, wouldn't you?"
"Get lost. When you come to Beijing, I'll treat you to the best of everything."
The two joked with each other, but their hands clasped even tighter.
The physical excitement was indescribable.
"Come back, or leave again?"
Old Ma asked cautiously.
Li Hongfeng nodded. "We have to go back."
Old Ma was very disappointed.
Those behind them were equally disappointed.
But in an instant, it recovered.
The Ninth Division is far more promising than this place.
And there are nine of them.
"Secretary Li!"
Several men behind Lao Ma stepped forward, and Li Hongfeng patted one of them on the arm with a smile, "Iron Hammer!"
Secretary Li
After everyone had seen them, even more people from the camp behind them came over.
Many people were calling out "Secretary Li," and Li Hongfeng waved to the crowd.
"Come on, let's go inside and talk."
Old Ma greeted them warmly and put his arm around Li Hongfeng's shoulder, trying to lead him inside.
"Xiao Sun, bring the things down."
Li Hongfeng said to Xiao Sun behind him, and Xiao Sun immediately took out a bundle from the assault vehicle and followed behind.
"People from the Ministry of Machine Building have arrived?"
Li Hongfeng asked, and Old Ma nodded, "He's been here for a week, but..."
"But what's wrong?"
Li Hongfeng was somewhat puzzled.
"Well, let's talk about it later."
Old Ma was unwilling to say more, but Li Hongfeng frowned and then went to the camp's accommodation.
Upon arriving at the conference room, we found it to be nothing more than a wooden house.
Li Hongfeng looked around; it was still the same as before, with the same atmosphere.
"This was brought by our Ninth Division, so please don't be shy."
As he spoke, Xiao Sun opened the package, revealing its contents.
Cigarettes, candy.
These two items alone made everyone's eyes light up.
"Old Li, you've struck it rich!"
Old Ma smiled and stuffed a box of Zhonghua cigarettes into his pocket.
This is a really good stuff; just taking a sniff of it can be invigorating.
The others, seeing this, didn't hold back either, and one by one they reached out their hands.
"They were all prepared by comrades from the Ninth Department."
Li Hongfeng spoke calmly, but in his heart he was grateful for everything Yang Xiaotao and the others had done.
After everyone had met, Li Hongfeng asked about the important matter.
Old Ma sat to one side, pulled out a pipe from his waist, and began smoking. Then he took out a matchbox from his pocket and carefully lit it.
"The tunnel boring machine that the Ministry of Machine Building got its hands on was delivered a couple of days ago."
"However, this thing is too big. If we want to get it into the mountains, we'll have to use a vehicle to transport it."
"But you know, we don't have that many trucks here, and their own Jiefang trucks can't handle these mountain roads at all. So the situation has remained at a stalemate."
Old Ma explained the situation, and seeing Li Hongfeng frown, he asked again, "Old Li, how's the tunnel boring machine going?"
"Is it really as bizarre as the newspapers say?"
Li Hongfeng walked over, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it, and lit it with a lighter.
Old Ma and the others looked at the lighter in Li Hongfeng's hand with envy.
They all knew that Secretary Li rarely smoked before, but who would have thought that after going to Beijing, he would become so proficient at it.
Indeed, Beijing is a place that tests a person's character.
"The tunnel boring machine, also known as a closed-chest earth pressure cement tunnel boring machine, was specially developed and researched by Comrade Yang Xiaotao of our Ninth Department. It can quickly excavate rocks and soil to rapidly dig tunnels."
"Three of these tunnel boring machines have been manufactured. One of them is working well on the Changyan Railway. Of the remaining two, one was sold to the Alliance."
At this point, Li Hongfeng flicked his cigarette ash and then said, "Just one unit sold for 2.5 million Alliance Coins."
patter
Old Ma dropped his pipe on the table, his face showing disbelief.
"This, two million and five hundred thousand?"
His voice cracked a little when he spoke.
But Li Hongfeng's nod made him continue with the broken voice.
"That one here, with all the parts and stuff, cost two and a half million?"
Li Hongfeng nodded slightly, then added, "Alliance Coin."
This isn't me showing off; I've actually seen even more outrageous numbers back in the ninth season.
Can you imagine an airplane selling for 20 million?
Still a beautiful knife.
Or is it starting with thirty aircraft?
Having seen the ocean, this little puddle is nothing.
"Alright, now tell me what happened."
"Why didn't you take it upstairs when you arrived so early?"
Li Hongfeng didn't have time to waste here. He was thinking about seeing his wife as soon as possible. It had been so long since they had seen each other, and he had to work overtime to vent his energy. Old Ma came back to his senses and then said, "Well, the comrades from the Ministry of Machinery Industry sent the tunnel boring machine over. We also wanted to send it up as soon as possible, but the comrades said that these are all precision parts and need to be transported carefully."
"You know the roads around here. It's not that they're unusable, but most of them aren't in good condition."
"We've discussed this a lot."
As Lao Ma spoke, Li Hongfeng immediately understood what he meant.
One reason was concern about damaging the machine, and the other was a lack of attention.
So I waited here for a week.
"This matter cannot be delayed."
Li Hongfeng spoke up, and Lao Ma realized that he had underestimated it. If foreigners were willing to pay high prices for something, it must be a good thing.
Why didn't I think of that?
It's not too late to realize this now.
"Xiao Ma, quickly call Director Hu over."
Old Ma shouted something to Little Ma at the door, and the latter immediately ran out.
A moment later, footsteps came from the doorway. Before the person even arrived, a voice said, "I told you, the road conditions are terrible."
"We need to clear the road first."
The person walked in while talking, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Li Hongfeng next to Lao Ma.
Instantly, the words caught in his throat.
"Secretary Li?"
The newcomer asked in a low voice.
Li Hongfeng nodded and stepped forward. "Hello, I am Li Hongfeng from the Ninth Department."
Upon hearing the confirmation, the man sprang to attention, then immediately looked up with a smile on his face. "Greetings, sir. I am Hu Can from the First Ministry of Machine Building, and I am in charge of transporting this tunnel boring machine."
After saying that, he asked in a low voice, "Commander, when did you arrive?"
Li Hongfeng simply nodded without saying a word.
This made Hu Can's heart pound.
The man in front of him is the First Secretary of the Ninth Department. If this were in Beijing, he wouldn't even have the right to speak to him.
Those who can speak with this person are at the same level as Elder Sun from the First Ministry of Machine Building, or even higher.
After all, who doesn't know the situation of these nine departments?
The profits from just one of their nine manufacturing units are equivalent to those of the previous eight.
Moreover, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that the Ninth Division is the one that the higher-ups truly favor.
And what's more, it's rumored that the second secretary of the Ninth Ministry might be coming to their First Ministry of Machine Building to take over the position.
If this isn't obvious, then he's a fool.
If we don't build good relationships with these people, who will we build good relationships with?
"I heard we're having some difficulties here?"
Li Hongfeng threw his cigarette butt on the ground and asked casually.
Hu Can immediately took a deep breath and then solemnly explained, "Sir, we have indeed encountered some problems, but we are seeking solutions."
"it is good!"
Li Hongfeng nodded, then glanced at his watch. "I need the results before 3 p.m.
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."
After saying that, Hu Can immediately ran out of the room.
Inside the house, Old Ma and his group had strange expressions on their faces.
These people from the First Ministry of Machine Building weren't easy to talk to before, so why did they act like grandsons as soon as Old Li came?
Regardless of what the others thought, Li Hongfeng asked, "What's the situation now?"
"Where has the progress reached?"
Old Ma snapped out of his daze, then immediately walked to a box to the side, took out a map, and casually pointed, saying, "This time we're responsible for the excavation work in twelve districts."
"A total of twelve bridges are involved, requiring the excavation of eighty-three sections of the mountain."
"The rest will be handed over to our brother units."
"Two bridges have been built so far. The mountain work is still being carried out using a multi-pronged approach. The first seven sections have been excavated, and the remaining seven are under intense excavation."
Old Ma pointed to the map and said.
"So, the closest one is this, Mountain Number Eight?"
Li Hongfeng asked, and Lao Ma nodded, then suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something, "Your son Li Bing is the team leader here, and by the way, Comrade Shan Hongying is here too."
Li Hongfeng was taken aback, then immediately coughed lightly to cover up the embarrassment on his face, "Then, let's follow the principle of proximity and send the tunnel boring machine over."
Old Ma smiled and said, "Yes, it's the principle of proximity."
Li Hongfeng, trying to hide his embarrassment, casually asked, "There are quite a few more behind these."
A horizontal line on the map crosses many contour lines.
"That's good, it's already half done."
Old Ma sighed from the side, "Six years, and only half of it is done."
After saying that, he looked down at his palms and then laughed, "I can still work for another six years."
Li Hongfeng shook his head, "The rest won't take six years."
2 p.m.
Hu Can appeared in front of Li Hongfeng, looking hesitant.
"Sir, we need to deliver the equipment here, but there are still a few sections where the road is impassable."
"Our plan is to build roads as we go, and then install the equipment once we reach our destination."
Hu Can explained the situation, and Li Hongfeng simply nodded slightly before saying, "We're leaving tomorrow. Your people should be prepared."
Hu Can was taken aback, not understanding what Li Hongfeng meant.
However, he quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly replied, "Yes."
After Hu Can left, Li Hongfeng turned to Old Ma, who was smoking nearby, and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Old Ma laughed heartily, "This time I'm ahead of you."
"Get lost! Do you think I'd let you go first?"
"Hehe, that's not necessarily true. You went to Beijing and didn't gain any weight. Could it be that you didn't like the water there?"
Upon hearing this, Li Hongfeng rolled up his sleeves and said, "It seems you've forgotten who's the boss while I was away."
"Hehe, that's exactly what I was thinking."
After saying that, the two walked together and touched wrist to wrist.
The following morning, sixteen trucks slowly started and drove out of the camp.
The car is full of large parts!
Behind the trucks, a long line followed.
The leaders were naturally Li Hongfeng and Lao Ma.
Director Hu was also behind the two.
He knew what they were up to when he saw the weapons they were holding.
At the same time, I felt a sense of respect.
He had also considered this approach.
but.
He couldn't open his mouth.
As we moved forward with the group, the atmosphere was not dull at all, but rather quite lively.
Especially after they knew what they were supposed to do, they were filled with fighting spirit.
Everything left him bewildered, yet also somewhat lost in thought.
