Chapter 1239
The Zhang family, Xiao Mei's family's Detsizov, transported to the frontier b
Senseless.
Xizhuofu was stunned.
It wasn't that I was stunned by those two slaps.
Instead, they were stunned by Petrov's decision.
He racked his brains and tried every means to help Petrov, but now he has to take all the responsibility.
Sizov instinctively wanted to explain, but after meeting Petrov's sinister gaze, he shrank back in fear and dared not utter a sound.
He knew very well that if he told the truth, Petrov would definitely punish him severely.
It's better to take responsibility for everything now.
After a moment's hesitation, Sizov, his lips trembling with pain, said, "Yes, I made a serious mistake. I was jealous that my brother's family had built such an excellent coal cutter, which is why I made such an unwise decision."
The experts from the Luo family, the Jieke family, and the other two families all glared angrily at Sizov.
"Shameless, utterly shameless."
"He actually wanted to harm someone for his own selfish reasons."
"Commander Petrov, this man must be dealt with seriously."
Petrov breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sidov had taken responsibility for the matter, and quickly said, "Please rest assured, everyone, once we return to Moscow, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you all an explanation."
After speaking, Petrov looked up at the leaders of the Ministry of Coal and the leaders of the Linxi Mine.
After all, the incident occurred at the Linxi Mine, and the handling of Xizhuofu still requires the consent of the local authorities.
Even though Sidzov took on the responsibility.
However, it still involves the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON) and the Russian Ministry of Coal Industry, so we need to be cautious.
The leaders of the Ministry of Coal Industry did not make a decision immediately.
Instead, the security department was instructed to detain Sizov first, and the relevant evidence was also put into a file bag.
Petrov was unwilling, but he had no choice.
This is Dongda University, not the clubs like Ronaldinho or Jerome, where they can do whatever they want.
"I respect your decision."
Petrov then left Mine No. 6 with the leaders of the Ministry of Coal Industry.
Li Aiguo knew that the decision to proceed from there would be left to those above, and it was not something he needed to worry about.
"Alright, let's get started. Everyone, cheer up and try to break the record again." Li Aiguo waved his hand.
The coal cutter started up again, and the members of the No. 6 coal cutting team got busy.
The coal cutting team members and the coal cutting machine are now very skilled at coordinating, and Li Aiguo doesn't need to give any instructions at all.
During his free time, he chatted with Garibald about high-pressure hydraulic pipes.
Currently, all hydraulic hoses in China are made of woven linen, which is prone to wear and breakage. Although they are protected on the outside, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Ideally, the hydraulic hoses should be replaced with metal ones.
“Metal? No, impossible. The cutting arm needs to be raised and lowered, and metal hydraulic pipes are inflexible and cannot meet this requirement. Comrade Patriot, I know you are a genius inventor, but you can forget about this.” Garibal waved his hands repeatedly.
"Is that so?" Li Aiguo smiled but didn't continue speaking.
He recalled that the hydraulic presses of later generations used a type of galvanized steel wire braided hydraulic hose, which was not only flexible but also vibration- and impact-resistant. It could even be fitted with a pipe threader to monitor the pressure inside the hose in real time.
This thing doesn't seem too technically difficult, let's build it!
Around noon, Petrov, the head of the MEC research team, returned to the cave. He looked rather unwell and seemed to be lost in thought, no one knew what he was thinking.
The experts exchanged glances, but none of them paid him any attention.
As evening fell, the roar of the coal cutter ceased, and leaders from the Ministry of Coal Industry, leaders from Linxi Mine, experts from the research team, and all members of the coal cutting team gathered at the coal yard.
"Eighty-five thousand tons!" The staff member in charge of the measurement shouted loudly after checking several times.
哗。
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Garibal rushed over and picked Li Aiguo up in his arms.
“Dear Li, congratulations, you have created an almost impossible miracle.”
"Cough cough." Li Aiguo was almost knocked unconscious by the strange smell coming from Garibul.
The leaders of the Ministry of Coal Industry and the leaders of Linxi Mine were so excited they couldn't stop smiling.
The record of 85,000 tons per day is enough to make the names of Linxi Mine and Dongda Coal Mine appear in textbooks all over the world.
The way they looked at Li Aiguo was unusually different.
If Li Aiguo hadn't seen through Xizhuofu's conspiracy, everyone would probably still be repairing the coal cutter.
Petrov will certainly seize the opportunity to launch an attack.
Thinking of this, the leaders turned to look at Petrov.
Petrov's face was very grim, but he had no choice but to step forward and extend his hand to Li Aiguo: "Comrade Li Aiguo, congratulations on creating the world's most advanced coal cutting machine. On behalf of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, I congratulate you."
"Thank you." Li Aiguo's face showed no sign of anything amiss, as if he had forgotten what Xizhuofu had done.
An elderly Russian man in a trench coat had a strange expression on his face, while a young man smiled and clasped his hands tightly together. In the distance, red flags fluttered in the wind, and mountains of coal lay piled up.
The composition is near perfect; if it were submitted to an international competition, it would definitely win a major award.

The reporter, who was already prepared, pressed the shutter.
The film negatives were sent to the train bound for Beijing overnight.
The newspaper had been waiting for news about the Red Star coal cutter. After receiving the negatives of the photos, they immediately typeset and printed them.
The next day, people were surprised to find a news item about a local coal mine on the front page of the newspaper.
But why is there an old Russian here?
Congratulations on the successful development of the Hongxing coal cutter! Daily output reaches 85,000 tons.
The reporter truthfully presented the various data of the Hongxing coal cutter, but people still couldn't understand them.
But when they saw that the Russian was actually the head of the ECM research team, they immediately became excited.
"It seems that this Red Star coal cutter is indeed remarkable."
"Just kidding, I heard that the Economic Cooperation Association has always been reluctant to let other countries buy our products."
"Look how stiff that Russian's smile is."
News of the Red Star coal cutter and its daily output of 85,000 tons quickly spread internationally.
The other families in the extended family were somewhat surprised.
"That shouldn't be the case. The Council for Mutual Economic Assistance is controlled by the Russians, so how come the output of the Red Star coal cutter has increased again?"
"Is there any need to say more? It's obvious that the Hongxing coal cutter is really good."
“I also have a lot of coal at home. Why don’t we send someone to check out this Red Star coal cutter?” said the man from the Gaolu family, who also owned a considerable amount of coal.
Xiao Mei's family was initially excited about the Russian's humiliation, but upon hearing this, they immediately became unhappy.
However, the two sides had a falling out last time because of the establishment of diplomatic relations between France and France, so the US family doesn't dare to openly obstruct them this time.
He simply said that his coal cutter was also very good and that he could offer a discount to the French.
The Frenchman curled his lip and said, "Brother, you'd better stop worrying about the coal cutter and hurry up and check on the situation of your four major car dealers."
Xiao Mei's family gets really angry when this topic comes up.
This story begins with the four major car manufacturers building factories in India.
The four major car dealers felt that Indian labor was cheaper.
In addition, the Indians assured them that they would provide preferential treatment, so they invested billions of dollars to build several large factories.
Unexpectedly, the Indians changed their tune as soon as the factory was built, claiming that the four major car dealers had evaded taxes and sent people to seize all the factories.
The four major car dealers ended up losing more than they gained by trying to steal a chicken, and could only complain to the leader of the Big Ken.
But what could Commander Daken possibly do?
India has a good relationship with Russia and is even fighting with Southeast Asia. He can't help Southeast Asia deal with India and make India completely side with Russia.
And just like that, the four major car dealers suffered a huge loss.
When Li Aiguo learned of this, he had already returned to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot workshop in Beijing.
The reason they were in such a hurry to return was that the Luo family, the eldest brother's family, the Jieke family, and the Abao family had already placed orders for fifty Hongxing coal cutters and five hundred transfer machines.
The foreign trade leaders were very pleased to receive the orders, especially since these companies did not have enough foreign exchange and indicated that they could exchange industrial materials and technology for them.
"Let's ask Comrade Aiguo what we should exchange it for?"
This kind of thing should have been decided by the Ministry of Machinery Industry, but this time the Hongxing coal cutter was something Li Aiguo had come up with, and the higher-ups had given him special instructions.
Li Aiguo had just returned to his studio and hadn't even had a chance to go to the small aircraft manufacturing plant when Section Chief Xing rushed in.
"Patriotism, the higher-ups have assigned you the task of selecting the supplies." When he said this, Section Chief Xing also looked incredulous.
Li Aiguo didn't expect that his superiors would assign him this task, but he did have some ideas.
The diesel fuel, lubricating oil, liquid caustic soda, and soda ash produced by Xiao Luo's family are all of excellent quality. They also produce mortar barrels of particularly high quality, which is not something we cannot manufacture ourselves.
However, Xiao Luo's prices were cheaper, and they also had wool felt that could be delivered to the coal mines to keep the miners warm.
Jieke's family mainly produces textile and shoemaking machinery, while Abao's family has developed agricultural products that can be traded for cotton, canned tomatoes, canned peaches, and canned grape juice.
The tractor parts from my brother's place are among the best in the Eastern faction, so we can get a batch of them.
Li Aiguo considered these things and drafted a list.
He only specified the types of goods, not the quantities. The prices should be negotiated between the foreign trade department leaders and these companies.
The leaders of the foreign trade department were initially worried, but once they received the list, they were immediately relieved.
"Comrade Patriot knows these companies quite well."
"But even if the Luo family wanted to sell the mortar tubes, the Russians probably wouldn't agree."
"Don't worry, Comrade Patriot has already thought it through. The Luo family provided seamless steel pipes, not mortar tubes!"
"Yes."
The leaders of the foreign trade department distributed the list to several companies.
Considering the future cooperative relationship, the price is very reasonable, and they also promised to provide after-sales service and send personnel to train coal cutter operators.
Several companies quickly agreed, and the contract was finalized. (At the Friendship Hotel.)
Petrov soon learned the details of the contract and was so angry he almost coughed up blood.
"We, the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, went through a lot of trouble to plan our advantageous industries with these few companies, and now, well, the University of Tokyo is getting the benefits!"
"Commander, we just received a call from Moscow. We should head back now," the assistant said as he walked in.
“Going back is good, it’s time to go back.” Petrov wasn’t worried about being questioned when he returned, because he had already made preparations.
Upon learning that the China Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CCM) research team was planning to return home, the foreign affairs department contacted the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, intending to invite Li Aiguo to see them off.
During the negotiations, experts from Xiao Luo's family, Jie Ke's family, Da Xiongdi's family, and A Bao's family all hoped to say goodbye to Li Aiguo.
After receiving the call, Section Chief Xing immediately told Yan Jiecheng to inform Li Aiguo.
"Section Chief, Li Aiguo has gone home."
"Oh, how could I forget about that?"
"Should I call him back?"
"No need. Just let him know after you get off work. It's 8:30 tomorrow morning at Beijing Nanyuan Airport."
"Yes!" Yan Jiecheng nodded emphatically.
At this moment, Li Aiguo had already driven his large SUV back to the courtyard house, speeding all the way to the entrance.
As soon as the car stopped, I saw Yi Zhonghai and an old woman arguing. It was none other than Jia Zhangshi.
It seemed that Jia Zhangshi still hadn't been able to get married. Li Aiguo muttered to himself, but ignored the two of them, opened the trunk, and took out the gifts that Lin Xikuang had delivered.
A sack of mountain produce, eight tiger skins, tiger penis, tiger claws, and other items, totaling several sacks.
Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi stood there, their eyes wide with amazement.
Jia Zhangshi subconsciously said, "Great, Li Aiguo's stuff must be of dubious origin. I'm going to report him."
Yi Zhonghai said, "This guy is up to no good. As an old man, I need to teach him a lesson."
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and both gave a wry smile.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll help you find a good partner as soon as possible."
"Old Yi, next time I hit you, I'll go a little easier."
The grudges between the two seemed to dissolve at that moment. After nodding to each other, they turned and left separately.
Li Aiguo: "."
He felt as if he had contributed to the peace and harmony of the courtyard house.
night.
Quietly.
Inside the Li family's house.
Chen Xueru moved the mountain goods into the cellar, but looked at the tiger skins with some worry.
Every time Li Aiguo goes on a business trip, he likes to bring back tiger and leopard skins; he has accumulated more than a dozen in the house.
Now Li Aiguo has a tiger-skin cotton-padded coat, and Xiao Hongsheng, Xiao Dongfang, and Xiao Minghui each have tiger-skin hats and tiger-skin boots. They really have nowhere to use them.
"Brother Aiguo, wait a minute." Chen Xueru seemed to have thought of something, picked up the small piece of tiger skin she had kept before, and started working on the sewing machine.
Li Aiguo played with the three children for a while, and when they got tired, he took them inside and put them to sleep.
I went into the bathroom and took a nice hot shower. Then, I lay down on the bed, stretching out in a "太" shape.
at this time.
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Upon seeing Chen Xueru, Li Aiguo was completely stunned, his face turning pale.
Under the dim light, Chen Xueru wore a tiger-skin jacket with the collar slightly open, revealing a bit of delicate skin on the side of her neck, creating a unique charm that contrasted with the wildness of the tiger skin.
Her lower body was covered by a super short tiger-skin skirt, barely covering her waist and hips, making her two fair and long legs appear even longer and straighter.
The way her skirt swept lightly against the side of her leg as she walked exuded an indescribable charm.
"Brother Aiguo, do you think this outfit looks good?" Chen Xueru walked to the bedside and asked shyly.
"Wife, I've discovered you're a great fashion designer!" Li Aiguo exclaimed in surprise. Chen Xueru's design for this outfit alone surpassed that of later designers who used plastic bags as fashion items.
As he spoke, Li Aiguo stood up and pulled Chen Xueru into his arms.
Night deepened.
Two hours later.
"Recently, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng had a big fight, and they even got physical," Chen Xueru said, talking about what was going on in the compound.
"Why?" Li Aiguo did see several cuts on Yan Jiecheng's face.
"It seems to be about the division of the family property." Chen Xueru didn't get involved in the affairs of the compound and didn't know much about it.
"Also, Xu Damao is going to become a leader."
Seeing the questioning look in Li Aiguo's eyes, Chen Xueru continued, "I heard that Xu Damao has gotten back on track with Deputy Factory Director Li. He's been doing quite well at the factory lately. The factory conducted a survey a couple of days ago. Xu Damao did his homework beforehand, and no one is saying anything bad about him. I guess it'll work out."
"Really?" Li Aiguo hadn't expected that so much had changed in the compound in just half a month since he'd been away.
“I need to work harder in the future. Our subdistrict office plans to promote me to deputy director, so I need to study hard these days.” Chen Xueru clenched her fist.
“If you’re going to work hard, then work hard. Why are you kneading this?” Li Aiguo laughed.
Chen Xueru blushed slightly and said with a grin, "Brother Aiguo, I've rested up."
Li Aiguo: "."
early morning.
Li Aiguo was eager to see the China Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CCM) delegation off at the airport, so he got up very early.
Just as I stepped outside, I ran into Xu Damao.
Xu Damao, looking very energetic, greeted him: "Brother Aiguo, I'm going to be a leader."
"Congratulations!"
"Don't worry, once I become the leader, if you want to watch a movie, it'll just be a matter of saying the word." Xu Damao seemed particularly excited.
He did a lot of work behind the scenes to become a leader.
Li Aiguo handed Xu Damao a cigarette, chatted for a few minutes, and then drove his SUV toward Nanyuan Airport.
When they arrived at the airport, the MICE research team had already gotten off the minibus.
After shaking hands with Garibul and the others to say goodbye, Li Aiguo noticed that Sidzhuov was taken onto the plane by several Russians.
"He was lucky this time. I guess he'll get a mild scolding after he's sent back." Garibal felt sorry for Li Aiguo. If Xizhuofu had succeeded, Hongxing Coal Cutting Machine would have lost face.
"Perhaps," Li Aiguo said, giving Petrov, the regimental commander, who was following behind Sitzhov, a deep look.
"Finally, we're leaving this horrible place." Half an hour later, the plane took off, and Sidov looked at the people below getting smaller and smaller, feeling an indescribable excitement.
"Commander, thank you so much for taking me back. Don't worry, I will listen to you in everything from now on," Sitzhov quickly pledged his loyalty to Petrov.
Petrov smiled and said, "Sure, I need you to do me a favor once we get to Moscow."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done for you," Xizhuofu quickly assured him, patting his chest.
He had already decided that he would do everything in his power to do whatever Petrov needed him to do.
The plane arrived in Moscow on time, and Petrov and Sidzov disembarked only after the members of the research team had left.
"Commander, why hasn't anyone come to pick us up?"
"and many more."
As they were talking, a jeep drove up from a distance and stopped in front of them. The door opened, and several Cheka officers got out.
The one in the lead saluted Petrov.
"Comrade, we are here on orders to escort the suspect Xizhuofu."
Upon hearing this, Xizhuofu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Commander, these people have made a mistake. You need to explain to them quickly!"
Petrov glanced at him indifferently, then turned to the Cheka and said, "Thank you for your hard work. This time, Dieter from the Mei family appeared in our research team, attempting to sow discord between us and the University of Tokyo. As the team leader, I also bear responsibility."
After saying that, Petrov pointed at Sidov: "Take him away."
“I’m not Dieter from the Mei family, Petrov, it’s you.” Sizov struggled to shout, but the Chekas were clearly prepared and covered his mouth, dragging him into the jeep.
As the jeep roared away, Petrov's lips curled into a sinister smile.
“Sizov, didn’t you promise to help me? Then take the blame for me.”
****
Li Aiguo learned of Sizov's outcome from Andrei.
"After the Cheka captured Sizov, they intended to take him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for interrogation. However, when the jeep was passing through a traffic light, Sizov suddenly jumped out of the vehicle in an attempt to escape, but was shot dead on the spot."
What the hell are those traffic lights?!
Anyone could see that this was murder to cover it up.
Li Aiguo had no sympathy for people like Xi Zhuofu; those who caused trouble should bear the consequences.
Li Aiguo was concerned about Dzerpigorev.
This old professor is an authority in the coal mining machinery factory, and his level of expertise surpasses that of Engineer Liu. It would be a great pity if he were implicated.
"Petrov hasn't touched Dzerpigovev yet. I'll send someone to keep an eye on him and think of a way to deal with him."
"Thank you very much," Li Aiguo said.
"What kind of talk is that? We're brothers."
After hanging up Andrei's call, Li Aiguo did not leave the Qianmen Aircraft Depot immediately, because the first batch of small aircraft had been assembled and was intended to be sent to the frontier.
Some suggested flying a small plane directly to the border region.
Considering that these small aircraft were to perform special missions, the plan was rejected by the Aviation Industry Bureau to avoid being noticed by the Indians in advance.
The final decision was to use trains for transportation, and then transfer to trucks once the trains reached the border region.
Because the small plane has folding wings, the wings can be folded up and placed on a train car for transport as a whole.
The wings need to be padded with wooden boards, then covered with mattresses, and finally with tarpaulins.
This transport operation was escorted by comrades from the frontier corps. The railway network had made arrangements in advance, and once the train was on the tracks, it would have a smooth journey.
The stations along the route must be cleared, and the comrades in the team will stand guard. If anyone dares to ask any questions, they will be taken back for questioning.
