Fairness of the 9th Division
Chapter 2837 The Fairness of the Nine Departments
Buzz
The sound of the wind generated by the rapidly spinning propellers echoed all around, further circulating the hot air.
Not far away, Yang Xiaotao stood with Chen Lao, and behind them were Wang Lao from the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry, Qin Lao from the Logistics Department, and Xu Lao from the Fifth Ministry of Machinery Industry and Zhou Lao from the Sixth Ministry of Machinery Industry, who were involved in the helicopter manufacturing this time.
Beside the crowd, two other people were pointing at the plane.
These two were none other than Old Zhang and Liang Zuoxin.
At this moment, everyone looked at the helicopter hovering overhead.
The height is the same as the office building, and you can clearly see the pilots on the plane from this distance.
"This plane is nice."
Looking at the helicopter hovering overhead, Old Chen said with delight.
He had seen helicopters before, but they were all foreign brands. This was the first time he had seen one made in China.
Both Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhou smiled when they heard Mr. Chen's praise.
They also made some contributions to making this helicopter possible.
Although it wasn't much, I still participated.
Although it is insignificant compared to the Ninth Division, it is still one of the few achievements their machine division has made in recent years.
With these achievements, they can give an explanation to both their superiors and the workers below.
The two were happy, and the others were happy too.
There's nothing else to it; helicopters aren't something only the Fifth and Sixth Ministries of Machinery Industry can use, they can also import them.
Moreover, with helicopters, many things become easier, and some things can be done better.
Like now.
"This can be considered an innovation after absorption and digestion. The hardware is no worse than that of the United States, but the software equipment is still a bit lacking."
Yang Xiaotao responded from the side.
Old Chen didn't say much; in his mind, he had already done a great job.
While the two were talking, Yang Zhi was inspecting the team's equipment from the helicopter suspended in mid-air. "Everyone, pay attention, the commanders and leaders below are watching."
"Whether we can fire this shot or not depends on us!"
The helicopter was very loud, so Yang Zhi had to shout.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Tou laughed and said, "Boss, this isn't the first time, is it necessary to be so nervous?"
"Yeah, boss!"
After checking his equipment, Stone smiled and said, "I think something's on Boss's mind!"
After exchanging equipment with Cobra, Cobra looked down through the window and clicked his tongue, saying, "Look, look, those are all the leaders down there."
"Is that Old Chen standing with Director Yang? Tsk tsk, our Group C is really showing off!"
Stone glanced down, but from the other side. "Look, the people in Group B are all watching too, haha, they're full of envy."
Everyone else looked over when they heard this, and saw that the training ground was surrounded by people, and among the crowd stood several fully armed men standing in the sun on such a hot day, clearly showing their defiance.
"Alright, everyone, be serious!"
Yang Zhi then looked at the monkey and said, "Monkey, set an example, don't mess it up!"
The monkey tidied up its gear, tightened its gloves, and then smiled smugly, "Don't worry, it's only twenty meters or so, no problem."
Yang Zhi clapped his hands with a smile, then looked at the pilot and said, "Old Wang, we're getting off."
Pilot Wang Qing nodded and then focused all his attention on piloting the plane, which was much more difficult than driving a car.
"go!"
With a shout from Yang Zhi, the two side doors of the helicopter opened, and then two ropes were thrown down. Yang Zhi and Monkey exchanged a glance, and the two jumped out together.
On the ground, Yang Xiaotao immediately tensed up as he watched the rope being dropped from the helicopter.
Everyone else also perked up.
"They're down!"
Old Zhang, standing to the side, clenched his fist and smiled as he watched the two men get off the plane and assume defensive postures.
"Not bad!"
As Old Zhang spoke, the six people had already landed on the ground.
"The equipment has been upgraded; the tactics need to keep up!"
Liang Zuoxin nodded with a smile, "We have already conducted targeted experiments and figured out three combat modes."
"This is just one method; the other two are accomplished through skydiving."
"They are regular skydiving jumps from over 500 meters and low-altitude skydiving jumps from 200 to 300 meters."
As Liang Zuoxin explained the situation in detail, Old Zhang felt an itch to get back and try out these ideas immediately.
Just as the group was talking, the helicopter slowly landed, and then the pilot and Yang Zhi and the others lined up and quickly ran to the front of the group.
Behind them, squads of security personnel quickly lined up and ran forward.
In no time, the line was quickly formed.
Looking around, hundreds of people stood in neat rows, solemn and respectful.
At the very front, the special forces personnel stood in a separate row.
Yang Zhi strode forward and saluted Old Chen.
"Reporting to the commander, the Red Star Special Operations Brigade of the Security Department of the Ninth Ministry of Machine Building has completed its helicopter descent training. Please give instructions."
"Reporting from Special Operations Team C, Yang Zhi."
"Take a break."
Old Chen stood tall with his head held high, his expression serious.
"Yes!"
"Take a break!"
The six men immediately rested, and Old Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"Comrades!"
"Congratulations on successfully completing the emergency landing mission."
"Helicopters have become a standard combat weapon abroad, and on the battlefield of Bei'an, they are an important mobile combat unit."
"Our country started research late, and there is a gap between us and foreign countries in this field."
"But now we have helicopters, and there will be even better helicopters in the future, so you must hone your skills and master them."
"In the future, you will have an even more important mission, which is to summarize your experience and train more special forces soldiers."
"I hope you will step forward and become pioneers."
Bang bang bang bang
The crowd clapped enthusiastically, their faces filled with excitement.
After Mr. Chen finished speaking, he nodded to Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao looked around and asked, "Would any of the leaders like to say a few words?"
Old Wang and the others shook their heads; what did they have to say?
At this moment, all I feel is envy, and then all that's left is envy.
After all, they weren't like the Ninth Division, which was incredibly wealthy. The resources they used to train these people were enough to pay the same number of workers a year's wages.
I can’t envy you.
Several people shook their heads, and Yang Xiaotao nodded to Liang Zuoxin, who then solemnly approached the group and nodded, saying, "Everyone, pay attention."
"Bring them back to their respective units!"
"Training will continue as usual."
"Yes!"
Yang Zhi shouted once, then yelled loudly, "Special Forces, right turn, march!"
"Rapid reaction squadron, turn right, right turn and run."
"First Company, turn left!"
As the sounds rang out one after another, the teams quickly ran towards their respective training grounds.
Yang Xiaotao reached out to Old Chen, "Boss, let's go sit in the office for a while, it's too hot outside." Old Chen nodded, "Okay, let's get down to business."
"How are your plans going?"
"Fortunately, the staff are gradually arriving, and the research will begin soon."
After Mr. Chen finished speaking, Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhou behind him exchanged a glance, their expressions a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
Seeing their backs, he hurried forward to follow.
The two hadn't walked more than a few steps when they were stopped by Old Wang and Old Qin, with Old Zhang also watching them intently from the side.
"Can't you two be a little more honest? We've been brothers for so many years, can't we just talk things out? Why do you have to keep things to yourself?"
Old Wang grabbed Old Xu's arm, looking heartbroken, which made Old Xu's eyelids twitch.
"You fucking stay away from me."
"When did I ever eat alone?"
Old Xu quickly slapped Old Wang's hand away, and deliberately lowered his voice, afraid of disturbing Yang Xiaotao and the other person in front.
On the other side, Old Zhou looked helplessly at Old Qin, who was tugging at his clothes.
"Old Qin, what are you guys doing?"
"We haven't offended you, have we?"
After Old Zhou finished speaking, Old Qin shook his head immediately, "No, we have a good relationship."
Upon hearing this, Old Zhou rolled his eyes. "What's the point of doing this without you?"
Then he glanced at Old Wang and Old Zhang, "Also, it seems we didn't inform you about today's matter, so what are you doing here?"
Old Zhou's question only made things worse. As soon as he said it, Old Wang immediately became unhappy. "Old Zhou, I just said that we're old brothers, so we should be more open and honest. If we have something good, we can't just keep it to ourselves."
"You sneak into the Ninth Division like this, who are you trying to protect yourself from? Is this really necessary?"
Upon hearing this, Old Zhou raised his fist, wishing he could punch this shameless guy, but then he remembered that he would have to ask this guy for the missiles on the future ships, so he snorted and lowered his fist.
Looking at the two people walking away, Old Zhou said impatiently, "Why don't you just explain things clearly instead of being sarcastic?"
"Or just shut up, I don't have time to waste arguing with you."
Seeing this, Old Wang stopped trying to dodge the question and asked directly, "Old Xu, Old Zhou, did you two come to this department for the computers?"
"Let me make this clear: these things are in such high demand that there are far more wolves than meat, even scarcer than machine tools. So let's lay it all out in the open and see who has more and who has less, it's all up to their own abilities!"
“We brothers won’t stand for underhanded tricks and backdoors.”
As Old Wang spoke, Old Qin nodded in agreement. "Old Wang isn't saying this to anyone in particular; he's mainly asking for 'fairness'."
Old Xu and Old Zhou exchanged a glance, and then Old Xu snorted coldly, "Fairness, fairness my ass."
“You’ve all made a fortune, you’re so rich you’re practically drooling, and now that you have money in your pockets you’re shouting about fairness.”
"What fairness? Isn't it all in your favor?"
"I don't believe you guys are fair at all."
Old Xu's spittle almost landed on Old Wang's face, and Old Zhang, who was watching the commotion, also moved back.
Old Zhou crossed his arms and said, "What nonsense about fairness! I'd believe it if Old Huang said that, but you two are just kidding."
Old Wang glanced at Old Qin and said, "I told you not to come. See, they don't believe you at all."
Old Qin was speechless. "Why don't you talk about yourself?"
"What's wrong with me? We in the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry have always followed the rules."
No sooner had Old Wang finished speaking than the others stared at him, making him put his words on his tongue and dare not utter them.
"Alright, are you leaving or not? If not, we're leaving. We still have things to discuss."
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao and the other person were about to enter the office building, Old Xu hurriedly said.
Old Wang looked back and finally said, "Old Xu, Old Zhou, I've already told you, we have to stand together through thick and thin, and no one should try to trip us up behind our backs."
"I know your ship has computers, but I'll say it again, we can't be without them either."
"At the very least, it should be divided equally."
Old Qin nodded, "Yes, an average score is best."
Old Xu and Old Zhou exchanged a glance, then shook their heads in unison. Old Zhou said, "We haven't thought about this. As for what you're saying about equality or inequality, that depends on what the Nine Ministries think. It's no use if we say anything."
Old Xu nodded, "Yes, we think the Nine Departments are being very fair, so you shouldn't worry about it or try to make decisions for them."
Old Qin was speechless.
Is nine departments fair?
Fair my foot! A computer costs $30,000. I got ripped off by that guy Yang Xiaotao last time.
You know, these days a computer costs at most ten thousand US dollars to make, but I spent a full thirty thousand.
If they had known that the Nine Volumes could be made, and even better, who the hell would have wasted their money?
Besides, based on his understanding of Yang Xiaotao, he would definitely prioritize giving it to departments that don't have it.
If they divide it like that, when will their logistics department ever get a turn?
Therefore, there is absolutely no fairness in these nine departments.
"We have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now."
As they spoke, Xu and his companion squeezed past Wang and ran toward the office building.
"Hey, you two, wait a minute, what's up?"
Old Wang realized what was happening and rushed forward, while Old Qin, curious, followed without saying a word.
"Old Xu, are you guys having a meeting about helicopters?"
"Old Zhou, we want a few too."
The group quickly ran up to the office building, but no matter how the two asked, Old Xu and his companion refused to say anything.
The air conditioning was on in the conference room, making the room feel cool.
When the others came in one after another, Yang Xiaotao was still talking with Old Chen about the work of the Ninth Department.
After they came in, they all lowered their voices and found a place to sit down and listen carefully, not daring to interrupt.
"Our biggest challenge right now is the lack of technical personnel, especially in computer production. This requires skilled workers to operate; otherwise, the scrap rate will be too high, and the losses will be huge."
"Right now, we can only draw some key personnel from the game console and calculator factories, and they can only start working after passing intensive training."
"Even so, we still don't have enough people. And the production of calculators and game consoles is already booked until the end of next year. If we don't expand production, I'm afraid it will affect the profits from external sales."
"The production of photocopiers also requires the support of skilled workers. Our Ninth Division has already done its maximum, but the shortage is still very large."
Although Yang Xiaotao spoke calmly, everyone was shocked.
Although they didn't know the exact number of people in the Nine Departments, they had a general idea of the total.
Speaking of which, although these nine departments were established the latest, they have developed very rapidly. With the help and support of the First Ministry of Machine Building, the scale of the nine departments is now no less than that of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.
As for the Fifth and Sixth Ministries of Machine Building, they have fallen behind.
Under such circumstances, Yang Xiaotao still said that there weren't enough people. How could they possibly accept that?
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Old Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "I'll figure out a way to recruit people. We'll recruit a batch from universities for you."
"But more importantly, you need to train yourselves; you can't always rely on others for help."
Yang Xiaotao nodded happily, "Understood. Our technical school is planning to expand enrollment. We plan to open computer-related training courses this September, and we will continue to train personnel."
"However, it would be even better if you could arrange some school teachers, especially those who are capable, right?"
Old Chen glanced at Yang Xiaotao, then grinned and said, "How about this, I'll write you a note, and you can go to various universities to recruit people yourself."
"Anyway, your Ninth Division is large and powerful, offers generous terms, and it's fair competition, right?"
"That's good, but I'm afraid people won't accept it. It'll have to be you, leader."
Yang Xiaotao said with a fawning smile, but Old Chen snorted coldly, "I can find you someone, but you have to do the job well."
"Especially computers, they are really useful. Now that you've started, do it well, and we will give you our full support."
"Of course, other projects must continue. I know you're all busy, but who isn't busy at this juncture?"
“Look around you, everyone is busy building a revolution, everyone.”
As Old Chen finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Old Wang and the others who were listening intently to him, and frowned slightly. "Why are you all still here? Aren't you busy?"
The group was listening intently, pondering the matters of the Nine Departments, when they suddenly felt awkward upon hearing Elder Chen's question.
That's really hurtful.
