Let's disband the 9th division.
Chapter 2838 Let's disband the Nine Departments
Upon hearing Mr. Chen's question, Mr. Xu quickly realized what was going on and said to Mr. Chen, "Sir, we're here to discuss the heavy helicopter with Xiao Yang."
Old Chen nodded, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Have you finalized this project?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, it was originally our Ninth Department that was going to do it, but we don't have enough manpower here, so we thought of cooperating with the Fifth and Sixth Ministries."
After speaking, he nodded to Mr. Zhou and his companion. Mr. Zhou quickly replied, "Leaders, we have experience in this area because we have cooperated with Jinling Aviation Academy before."
"With the design drawings provided by the Ninth Division, we are confident in completing the mission."
Old Zhou made his assurance, and Old Xu nodded in agreement.
But what these people were saying left the three old men, including Wang, completely baffled.
"Wait, wait~"
Old Wang interrupted, "What, what's this helicopter? What's going on?"
Old Chen glanced at it and then shook his head, "We'll talk about this later. You three can go back and get busy if you have nothing else to do."
Upon hearing this, Old Wang hesitated, and Old Qin quickly spoke up, "If there's something, we'll talk to Xiao Yang."
"Yes, yes, we have something to say, but it's nothing serious. You can talk first, leaders, we'll listen."
After Old Wang finished speaking, he went back to acting like a primary school student.
Old Chen was used to the two of them, so he didn't say anything more and continued to instruct Yang Xiaotao, "What you told President Peng last time, he told me. It'll be done in the next few days. Make sure to give the Northwest side a heads-up."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Okay, that's great."
"By the way, the artillery reconnaissance radar we talked about with President Peng has recently made a breakthrough, and we'll be able to give it a proper explanation then."
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, Old Chen's eyes lit up.
He had heard about this thing from Yang Xiaotao and also learned about it from Peng and the others. This thing has already appeared in Britain. He didn't know if it existed in the United States, but he was sure that the Alliance didn't have it yet.
Because the other party only started the project at the end of last year after learning that Britain had this technology.
It's probably not much faster than in China now.
"You should also expedite this matter."
"it is good."
As the two were talking, Old Wang pulled Old Xu aside and quietly asked him about the helicopter.
Since he knew he would have to talk about it later anyway, Old Xu didn't hide anything. He took a folded piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Old Wang, then continued listening to Yang Xiaotao and Old Chen's conversation.
He felt that listening to the two talk was more fruitful than holding a whole day of meetings.
Old Wang unfolded the folded paper and immediately recognized it as something Old Xu had casually written, but the content still surprised him.
Old Qin, who was standing to the side, reached out and picked up the note. He glanced at it and then had a similar expression to Old Wang.
The two exchanged a glance, put the note away, and continued listening.
After Yang Xiaotao finished explaining about the artillery reconnaissance radar, Old Chen nodded in satisfaction.
The two didn't say anything more, since they had already said what needed to be said.
Old Chen glanced at the others again and casually said, "Don't make the helicopter development a secret."
"Especially the aircraft design drawings, which must be kept secret."
After Old Chen finished speaking, the others nodded quickly.
Seeing this, Old Chen smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Old Wang and Old Qin beside him, "By the way, didn't you say you had something to do?"
"Since everyone is here, let's hear what you have to say."
As he spoke, Old Chen picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of cold tea.
Last time, Qin Lao swindled 50 million from him because of the airplane incident.
He later learned that the guy had gotten something for nothing. If Yang Xiaotao and his group hadn't covered for him, he would have gone to them to ask for his money back.
Seeing Old Chen's expression, Old Wang was immediately at a loss, and then looked at Old Qin beside him, "Well, Old Qin, what do you say?"
Old Qin rolled his eyes. He had just said it casually to get by, but who knew that Old Chen would actually remember it.
Seeing that Old Wang shamelessly shifted the blame, Old Qin rolled his eyes and said directly, "Sir, it's like this."
"I discussed it with Lao Wang and we discovered something very important."
When Old Wang heard Old Qin say this, he instinctively felt something was wrong, but before he could finish speaking, Old Qin said, "We've discussed this for a long time, and we think it would be best to disband these nine departments."
Old Wang almost jumped up from his seat after hearing this. When did this guy become someone who was supposed to be discussing things?
When did he say that?
Yang Xiaotao and Old Chen, who were sitting at the top, were both stunned, not understanding what Old Qin meant by saying that.
Just as Mr. Wang was about to explain, Mr. Qin continued, "Leader, as you have seen, the key constraint for these nine departments right now is the lack of personnel."
"Moreover, the Ninth Division has too many projects that need to be developed vigorously, but it is limited by its own resources and strength."
"So we discussed it and felt that the only way to solve this problem right now is to break the 'circle' of these nine departments and give these projects more room to develop."
The more Qin Lao spoke, the more serious Yang Xiaotao's expression became, while Chen Lao had a smile on his face.
The others, such as Old Xu and Old Zhou, were shocked and couldn't understand whether Old Qin had lost his mind or what.
Why are you talking nonsense?
Old Wang, standing to the side, looked like he was about to cry when he heard Old Qin say that.
After Elder Qin finished speaking, Elder Wang couldn't wait to explain, but he was interrupted by Elder Chen after only two words. "Then tell me, if these nine departments are disbanded, what will happen to these people?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao looked at Old Chen in surprise.
Could it be that the higher-ups really have this idea?
Others also looked over curiously, and Old Xu felt even more that Old Qin's words today might have been specially instructed by someone.
Even Old Wang sensed something was amiss, silently composed himself, and kept a close eye on Old Qin out of the corner of his eye.
Just as everyone was in astonishment, they heard Old Qin laugh heartily, "The others are easy to talk to; those with outstanding abilities can go to other departments."
"This Comrade Yang Xiaotao, leader, I think he can learn a lot from you and become your successor in the future."
Ahem~~
As soon as Old Qin finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao started coughing incessantly.
The others also looked at Old Qin strangely, with expressions that said, "You're really good at flattering people."
Yang Xiaotao was taken aback by Qin Lao's words and choked on his saliva. He coughed for a while before catching his breath and quickly said, "No, no, I still have a lot to learn from my seniors."
"Mr. Qin, you're too kind, you're too kind."
Old Qin shook his head, "Young Yang, you don't need to be modest. I think this is the best choice to solve the current predicament and accelerate revolutionary construction."
"Of course, our logistics department is happy to cooperate."
Old Qin spoke again, and Old Wang, Old Xu, and Old Zhou looked at each other, somewhat unsure of the situation.
Yang Xiaotao was about to say something more when Old Chen scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about? You've been in the Ninth Department for most of the day just because of this?"
"Is there no more work to be done in this department?"
"I'm so bored."
Old Qin listened and said no more, but he had already made up his mind.
He had just noticed a hint of hesitation in Old Chen's eyes. It was originally just a flash of inspiration, and he had wanted to drag Old Wang into making a fool of himself, but now it seemed that he had stumbled upon something unexpected.
His gaze swept over Yang Xiaotao's young face, then glanced at Old Chen's somewhat graying hair, and suddenly Old Qin felt that he might have actually guessed right.
Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao calmed down and chatted with Old Zhou and Old Xu about the heavy helicopter. They then confirmed their respective tasks and ended the exchange.
After Qin Lao's little incident passed, Chen Lao gave Yang Xiaotao some more instructions about work before getting up to leave.
Yang Xiaotao saw Old Chen off, then watched Old Xu step forward. After another round of pleasantries, everyone got into their car and left.
Mr. Wang and Mr. Qin were in the same car. Mr. Wang kept a cold face and ignored Mr. Qin the whole way.
He didn't speak until the car was about to stop, saying, "Hey Lao Qin, can't you think before you speak? This..."
Old Qin reached out to stop Old Wang from saying anything more, looked at Old Wang calmly, and then said seriously, "When I finished speaking just now, do you know what I saw?"
Old Wang frowned. "What?"
Old Qin suddenly laughed, "I see, Old Chen, you're tempted."
Upon hearing this, Old Wang shrank back and his eyes widened suddenly.
"you you"
"Are you sure?" Old Mrs. Wang understood what she meant and asked incredulously.
Old Qin leaned back in his car seat and slowly nodded. "I'm sure."
Then, the car slowly moved forward until it stopped at the logistics department. After Old Qin got out of the car, Old Wang finally let out a long sigh of relief.
'This kid is defying the heavens!'
The following day, the Ninth Division, the Memorial Hall.
At this moment, a group of people from Hong Kong are strolling through the area, led by Liu Lixue.
"Gentlemen, this is the first tractor we built. At that time, it was powered by steam."
As soon as Liu Lixue finished speaking, the eyes of the people who came with her fell on the old-fashioned-looking car.
"Is this the coal-burning truck?"
Gu Qingqing exclaimed in surprise. Li San nodded and then explained, "These coal-burning vehicles have existed before. We used these vehicles to transport supplies to the Korean battlefield."
"However, it's still rare to see this used on tractors."
Lou Xiao'e glanced at Li San from behind. Although he appeared ordinary, his clothes and tone of voice clearly indicated his identity.
I was even more curious: could life in Hong Kong be better than in Beijing?
Lou Xiao'e suppressed her curiosity and looked at it again.
The people who came this time were clearly a family.
An old man and a young man, a married couple.
However, these people are not simple.
Not only was Liu Lixue provided commentary and accompanied them, but there were also people from outside accompanying them.
This specification isn't high, but it's not low either.
After Liu Lixue finished her introduction, she walked a few steps forward and came to a slightly larger tractor. "This tractor is our first tractor, also known as the Red Star tractor."
"At the time, this tractor immediately attracted domestic attention upon its appearance and subsequently played a significant role in agricultural production."
"Nowadays, our production plants have been moved to the Northwest and Southwest, with an annual output of more than 10,000 vehicles and a cumulative output of more than one million vehicles over the years, which is second to none in China."
"Even many established brands can only look up to it."
Upon hearing this, Li San nodded, and Gu Qingqing, who was standing to the side, was surprised again.
Even Grandpa Gu, who had been nodding the whole time, couldn't help but sigh, "I originally thought that our agricultural production was still the same as before, relying on people to pull and oxen to haul, with low productivity and relying on God for our livelihood."
"But what I've seen along the way has been absolutely breathtaking!"
"We have hand pumps for irrigation, well-drilling machines for well-digging, tricycles for transportation, and tractors to replace oxen in hauling plows and other crops like corn and rice..."
Grandpa Gu took a breath and felt very pleased.
"This is all unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!"
"In just twenty years, such great achievements have been made, and such a great success has been achieved."
"I am truly shocked!"
After listening, Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e both nodded with smiles, and then explained, "This is the power that has been unleashed by the people after they became masters of their own destiny."
"Everyone regards the country as their own home, has a heart for building the revolution, and is willing to contribute their own strength to building their homeland."
"That's why we strive to unleash our fervent emotions and throw ourselves wholeheartedly into the revolutionary cause."
"This is a victory for the people."
Upon hearing this, they all nodded vigorously.
Because they could not find any other reason, and there was no other answer in the world to prove it.
Therefore, all of this can only be the energy unleashed by the masses.
At that moment, everyone felt a sense of pride.
A sense of pride in being part of it.
Liu Lixue continued leading the group forward.
Along the way, the four of them looked at the items displayed in the memorial hall and listened to the stories behind them, as if they were there in person, feeling the extraordinary warmth of the place.
The group followed Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e all the way, and it was already noon.
According to the tour itinerary, these people will have lunch with the leaders of the Ninth Department, and of course they will also talk about some work-related issues.
It's just that it's still hard to say whether it's Yang Xiaotao, Li Hongfeng, or someone else.
Because everyone was quite busy during this period, especially Yang Xiaotao, who led a team to continue researching new types of computers after the computer was developed.
Meanwhile, Li Hongfeng, Lao Hong, and their companions were dealing with representatives from all over the country.
Without exception, all of these people came to buy computers.
After leaving the memorial hall, the group used the shade of the trees on both sides of the road to block out the sun overhead.
"This is our office building, and the research institute is behind it, but it is not open to the public. Please understand."
Liu Lixue pointed to the office building in front, and then to the office building behind.
Li San looked up and then said, "Before I came, Aunt Rong mentioned the Ninth Department's research institute. She said it was an institution that was no less than the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was the core of the Ninth Department."
"Now that I see the achievements in the memorial hall, I am completely convinced of this statement!"
Lou Xiao'e and the other woman smiled proudly upon hearing this.
It's worth noting that these nine research institutes are unique in the country.
It was Yang Xiaotao who spearheaded the establishment of the research institute.
It can be said that without Yang Xiaotao, there would be no research institute, and the Ninth Department would not be what it is today.
Just as the two were about to speak, a sudden roar came from the sky.
Everyone immediately looked up at the sky.
The source of the sound was found in no time.
"Is that a helicopter?"
Li San shaded his eyes with his hand as he watched the helicopter fly by in the sunlight. It wasn't that he didn't recognize the helicopter, but he was somewhat surprised that there was one here.
I've seen helicopters in Hong Kong, but I haven't seen one since coming to the mainland.
But this helicopter looks a little different.
"Yes, this is a helicopter that we developed ourselves."
"These must be people from the security department carrying out a mission."
Liu Lixue said proudly, watching the helicopter fly to the office building before continuing, "This way, please!"
The group nodded and then left.
But Li San's heart was filled with excitement.
Since arriving at the Ninth Division, everything he has seen and heard has stirred his heart.
The workers looked completely different from the people in Hong Kong; they were more hardworking and creative.
The social atmosphere is also different.
There are no gangsters, no fights, and no gangs that occasionally take to the streets here.
Here, only elderly men and women sit on the street, chatting about everyday matters.
Even the smiles of the children here are full of innocence.
Li San felt he had gained a lot from this trip.
They will then visit various factories and learn even more.
