Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 24
On this day, Jiang Chen was discussing a suitable receiver design with several old technicians. Suddenly, Dong Zi rushed over and told Jiang Chen that there were several serious people looking for him outside, and the factory leader told him to go to the office building immediately. In the conference room, Jiang Chen didn't think much about it, thinking it was something trivial, he continued to chat with a few technicians.

After a while, the fat man ran over sweating profusely and panting, dragged Jiang Chen and walked outside, saying:

"Brother Chen, why are you still here? Uncle Xu and the others are looking for you like crazy, they are waiting for you."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked while being dragged away by the fat man, "What's the matter, so anxious?"

The fat man gasped and said, "I don't know either. A few cars just arrived, and a group of people came to look for you by name. The factory manager and the others took people into the meeting room to find out some information, but these people's mouths Very strict, they couldn’t ask anything at all, then one of the leaders took out a page of paper, Uncle Chen looked at it, and called for someone to find you, but they won’t be able to find you for a while, and finally we will come to you , Uncle Xu was so anxious that he almost scolded his mother, hurry up."

Jiang Chen and Fatty quickly went to the meeting room of the office building. When they arrived, leaders of all sizes had already gathered outside the meeting room. Everyone was talking about Jiang Chen. When they saw him coming, they offered to let him out. One way, just as Jiang Chen was about to open the door, Secretary Xu pushed out from inside the door and asked:
"Is Xiao Jiang here?"

"What about this?" Jiang Chen came out from behind the door and said, covering his nose.

"What's wrong?" Secretary Xu asked.

"It's nothing, just hit it." Jiang Chen replied, actually he wanted to say in his heart, should I say that you bumped it.

"Oh, as long as it's okay, I'm waiting anxiously." After speaking, he dragged Jiang Chen in.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen followed in and asked hastily. While talking, he suddenly saw that several people in the meeting room had occupied the meeting room. Factory Manager Chen was really accompanying him to talk, and he also stood up.

"Okay, the person has come, let me introduce you." Secretary Xu introduced: "This is Comrade Jiang Chen, who is currently the deputy chief of the technical department of our B17 factory."

Then he pointed to one of the taller men in military uniform, in his 40s, with a smile on Fang Zheng's face, and said: "This is Liu Zhengqing, Director Liu of the military logistics."

"This is Staff Officer Meng from the front line." Secretary Xu pointed to a soldier in his 30s and introduced to Jiang Chen.

"These two are Deputy Director Lu of the Science and Technology Industry Committee, and this is the Chief of the High-Tech Section." He pointed to two middle-aged men in military uniforms who didn't look like soldiers.

"Hi leaders, welcome to B17 factory to guide the work. We, the grassroots, especially need to listen to the instructions of the central government." Jiang Chen was a little uncertain about the purpose of these people, so he played tricks.

"Comrade Jiang Chen, we have something we want to know about with you." Director Liu said to Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.

"Oh, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask the leaders, I will tell you everything." Jiang Chen replied, anyway, no matter what you come, I will put my attitude right first, so that you have nothing to catch.

"It's okay, just relax, we'll understand something." After finishing speaking, he looked at Secretary Xu, the director of Chen, and said, "Director Chen, Secretary Xu, can we have a private chat with Xiao Jiang?"

"Yes, yes." After speaking, Secretary Xu dragged Chen Guorong and Factory Manager Chen out, and before leaving, he gave Jiang Chen a wink, telling him to reply cautiously.

Seeing Director Chen and Secretary Xu leave, Jiang Chen was a little nervous. At this moment, Director Liu said, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, don't be nervous. We'll come to understand the situation. Do you know this dress?" He motioned to Staff Officer Meng to take it out. In a camouflage uniform.

Jiang Chen saw that this was the camouflage uniform he designed and produced for Lei Jun and the others. He was very surprised. It stands to reason that if they like it, they should send someone to place an order. Come, don’t worry about it, and respond to all changes with the same, so he pretended to be calm and said: "I know, these are designed and produced by me, and they are given to one of our company's soldiers."

"Oh? It's not just a company." Director Liu asked with a smile.

Jiang Chen blushed embarrassingly and said with a smile: "It was for my brother-in-law. At that time, we heard that the scouting battle in the south was very difficult, so we wanted to help him. My grandfather only has one son. Ah, he not only represents himself, but to some extent represents the younger generation of our army. If something happens to him, it will definitely deal a big blow to the morale of the entire army. When I was translating foreign magazines, I saw a set of camouflage clothes for foreign troops called camouflage uniforms, so I produced them and gave them to him and his company for free.”

Jiang Chen licked his lips dryly and kindly after making up nonsense: "Leaders, did I make any mistakes?" After speaking, he stared at everyone with innocent and cute eyes.

Director Liu here has a black line on his forehead. I thought his family is also a scholarly family. His grandparents and parents are all high-level intellectuals. Although his grandfather Lei Zhan has a hot temper, he is also full of righteousness. Why? Just gave birth to this little bastard, who ran the train with his mouth full, his feet seemed to be stained with oil, and he put everything away in one fell swoop, and wanted to ask himself for a reward shamelessly, which reminded him of the past The old guy who works in diplomacy can say that black is white, no, I have to shock this kid, so I said seriously:

"Officer Meng, tell him about the incident caused by this dress." After speaking, he winked at Staff Officer Meng.

Yes, Staff Officer Meng opened the file folder and responded sternly: "On *month*, 1981, Lei Jun, the commander of the reconnaissance company of a special service battalion in our northwest//war// area, led the reconnaissance team to destroy the enemy's artillery position and successfully completed the project. mission, but on the way back, because they were blocked by the enemy, they deviated from the direction and evacuated to the front of the friendly army. Because of their clothes, our soldiers thought that this was another Nanman agent infiltrating. You know that Nanman agents often pretend to be The friendly forces attacked, so the soldiers didn’t believe it and launched an attack, causing one soldier of the reconnaissance team to be seriously injured and two soldiers slightly injured.”

"Well, Lei Jun is okay." Jiang Chen interrupted.

"It's okay," this Staff Officer Meng looked up at Jiang Chen and continued to read: "On *month*, 1981, the reconnaissance company of the Secret Service Battalion successfully completed missions many times without causing major casualties, which made other troops greedy. In the end, a few cadres took the lead in borrowing their camouflage uniforms, but the reconnaissance company disagreed, which resulted in a quarrel and a fight among several people, and finally turned into a group fight between several troops. Headquarters, and on *month*, 1981, soldiers from the reconnaissance company of the secret service battalion showed off their high-waist liberation shoes (combat boots modified by Jiang Chen himself) to other troops, and claimed that the high-waist liberation shoes could prevent snakes and insects from biting , It can also prevent the bamboo sticks and iron nails in the Nanban trap from being pierced, and it is said that it is more breathable than their leggings and bandages, causing these soldiers to ask for it from the higher-level cadres. In the end, it led to the passive combat of several troops, and it spread, and finally the relevant leaders of the former pointed out that they came to the front line to eliminate the influence."

"Do you understand?" Director Liu looked at Jiang Chen and smiled.

"Listen clearly, but what does this have to do with me." Although shocked, Jiang Chen still pretended to be confused.

"You don't shed tears when you see the coffin. Staff Meng continued, and read out the orders from above." Director Liu said with a black line on his forehead.

"Yes!" Staff Meng turned a page and read seriously: "According to the investigation, a new type of military uniform (military shoes) has recently appeared in the frontline troops. Because of its special design and production, it is very beneficial to frontline operations, but the number is scarce. This caused disunity among the various units, and there were even fights and fights, which seriously affected the morale of our army. The General Logistics Department, the Science and Industry Committee and the security department were specially appointed to form a joint investigation team, and asked to find out the source of military uniforms (military shoes) and find out the production. Purpose, after ascertaining the situation, provide appropriate support without affecting the security of the country and the army, and strive to increase production to meet the needs of frontline troops. Headquarters, *month*, 1981."

"This has alarmed the higher-ups." Jiang Chen was shocked.

Seeing Jiang Chen's surprised look, Director Liu smiled with satisfaction: "You think so, so you have to cooperate with us well. If we hadn't investigated you for any wrongdoing, we would have arrested you for treason a long time ago."

"Ah, so serious?" After all, Jiang Chen is a person of the 21st century, and has not had much contact with this aspect, so he was frightened by Director Liu.

"Okay, let's talk about how you designed and produced it." Director Liu asked with a smile.

Yes, Jiang Chen didn't want to make it big. He originally wanted to make some orders, but he alarmed the boss and told the story seriously; "I refer to the pattern design of the watermelon. Although I have seen the camouflage of foreign troops, But it’s been a long time, and I can’t remember. I simply designed it myself. I asked a few friends to contribute some money. I guarantee that it’s all my own idea and has nothing to do with them. Then,,,,,, Later, after testing, it was given to Lei Jun.”

"Do you use wood instead of copper rollers (for printing)?" asked Deputy Director Lu of the Science and Technology Commission who was silent.

"Yes, we consider the high cost of copper rollers and the long engraving cycle, we don't have so much cost here, and the pattern of the camouflage uniform is not complicated, so we used wood, but don't worry , the printed pattern is no worse than the copper roller." Jiang Chen replied seriously.

"How did you get the gray cloth, and how did you dye it?" This deputy director Lu was very powerful, and asked the core question right away.

"We don't have the money to buy gray cloth, and we don't have any channels to get it. We happened to see some useless olive green military cloth in our warehouse by chance, so we reprinted it with this color as the base color." Jiang Chen. Continue to answer.

"Well, very thoughtful, young man is good." Deputy Director Lu finally showed a smile and praised.

Seeing the smiles of these people, Jiang Chen felt a little guilty, wondering if it was good or bad?I always feel that these laughter are a bit cold, and I don't know what will be waiting for him next.
