Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 39 The third request?
The competition ended, and Jiang Chen came down to the rostrum surrounded by everyone. What, you ask, is there one last contestant? That contestant abstained because he felt Jiang Chen's arrogance, and he had no choice. Under the pressure, he will definitely not be able to achieve good results. It is better to abstain than to be ashamed. Let alone him, let's talk about Jiang Chen at this moment. He was called to the rostrum by the old man.
"Reporting Chief/Chief, Jiang Chen is here to report, please give me instructions." Jiang Chen stood at attention, he did not salute because he is not a soldier.

"My boy, let me tell you why you have the guts to take General Cao's command post down. You are so talented. Why don't you come to the army? I'll make an exception and make you a battalion commander." The old man laughed heartily.

"Chief, I think it's more meaningful for me to stay in the military factory than to stay in the army." Jiang Chen replied regardless of Grandpa Lei Zhan's eyes.

"Oh? Tell me why." The old man asked curiously. He didn't expect that someone would refuse, and it was such a good thing. A young man who was only [-] years old became the battalion commander. This must be news in the whole country.

"Reporting to the chief, I can make more people become sharpshooters like me in the military factory. I designed and produced the rifles I just competed with. With these guns, we can train more sharpshooters." Jiang Chen Seeing so many generals around, he secretly advertised. He didn't say he was a sniper, and the word sniper is still very unfamiliar to everyone.

"Oh, what gun, bring it up and let me have a look." The old man seemed to have seen through Jiang Chen's mind, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he cooperated with Jiang Chen and asked.

Jiang Chen signaled to Ma Jun, and Ma Jun handed over the two sniper rifles to the guards and took them up. Why didn't Ma Jun bring them up here himself, because this is a safety requirement, and you want a stranger to take them? What happens when you approach with a gun.The old man took the gun and looked at it carefully, touched it again, and finally took aim. Then he praised: "Good gun! Good gun! You made these yourself, did you use foreign parts?"

Jiang Chen nodded proudly: "Every part in these two guns is designed and manufactured by ourselves, and they are [-]% purely domestic."

"Well, yes, look at you guys, in order to win this game, you desperately bought guns from abroad and spent so much foreign exchange. Why is it that we have such a good gun that no one uses it?" The old man turned to the general beside him. they questioned.

"Chief/Chief, our two guns have been produced not too long ago, so we can't blame the old generals." Jiang Chen rescued the old generals.

"Oh, so that's the case. Then how much are you going to sell to the army? Don't be too high, otherwise we won't be able to afford it." The old man asked with a smile while touching the gun in his hand.

"This head/chief, because the workmanship is complicated, the cost is relatively high, so we sold the one in your hand to the army for 1 RMB, and the one on the table is 8000 RMB."

Even the old man who was used to the market was dumbfounded when he heard the price. It took him a while to react and laughed and cursed: "Stinky boy, you are trying to rip me off."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Chief/Chief, this price is not expensive at all. We only included the cost of materials and labor, and we didn't include the cost of design and experiments."

"I can't afford it. Look at the generals, who wants it?" Looking at the eager generals, the old man shook his head and said, he didn't know that the sniper rifles these generals bought abroad were several times more expensive than this one.

"This time you won the victory, it is supposed to give you a reward, but you are not a member of the army, so it's difficult. Tell me what you want, and I can properly agree to you?" The old man ignored the generals who were whispering and then turned to Jiang Chen asked.

"You asked my grandfather about this. I made three requests to him when designing these two guns. The first two were about the development of these two guns. The third request has not been fulfilled. You It would be even better if I agreed." Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

"Oh, what request did your precious grandson make to you?" The old man asked Lei Zhan with a smile.

Lei Zhan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. He said he would tell me after the production of the gun is successful."

"What's the mystery? Tell me, if I can do it, I'll agree for your grandfather." The old man turned to Jiang Chen and asked.

"Chief/Chief, I would like to request to take these two guns and some weapons produced by our factory to participate in the defense exhibition held in Batie next year." Jiang Chen bravely brought forward the idea he had been pondering for a long time.

The old man frowned and asked, "Huh? This is really difficult. Tell me what you think."

"Yes, that's how it is." Jiang Chen explained: "Our B500 factory squeezed out a lot of weapons and equipment due to the overproduction of the previous factory leader. You know that our country is disarmament now and there is no need for so many weapons and equipment. So we couldn't sell it at all. What's worse is that our factory owed a huge amount of foreign debts, including those from the government, the military, and the supply of goods to brother units. The total amount may reach more than 107 million. But now our factory can only rely on a small share of [-] shells allocated by the National Defense Science and Industry Committee to barely maintain, but you also know that there are many factories like ours in the country, and they cannot all take care of us, so we want to pass Export to pay off debts and save our factory, I hope you can approve it.”

"So that's the way it is. This is a way of thinking, but I can't promise you now. I have to go back and ask other comrades for their opinions." The old man said with a serious face. To find a solution, exporting may be a good choice.

"Thank you chief/chief!" Jiang Chen said happily, his first step plan was finally realized.

"Hehe, clever ghost!" The old man laughed and scolded.

,,,,,,

Let’s not talk about the rest, let’s just say that this trip was really worthwhile. He not only helped Grandpa win this exercise, but also let many generals see the importance of actual combat exercises, and he also took the opportunity to promote his own research and development sniper rifle.And achieved pretty good order results, although there is still a certain gap with Jiang Chen's expectations, but it is not bad. After all, the army is still relatively difficult and cannot afford so much money. When the generals placed orders He also had a face full of pain. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and determined the quantity, but there were not many. There were only a few dozen in each theater, and the most did not exceed a hundred.It is sad enough to let millions of people share these hundreds of sniper rifles.

But Jiang Chen hadn't left yet, but the General Manager and the Science and Industry Committee intervened. They came and took away the two spare guns that hadn't been opened, saying that they were going to conduct a comprehensive test to evaluate the two guns. performance, to see if it can be equipped as a standard firearm, and whether it conforms to the principle of export.Jiang Chen didn't keep the remaining two guns either, they were snatched away by his grandfather Lei Zhan under the guise of trying them out with the army.Even the remaining bullets were not let go, and they were directly divided by the two families.Seeing Jiang Chen's helpless face, Zhou Zhengzhi stepped forward and patted his shoulder to comfort him. Jiang Chen thought he could say something nice, but he didn't expect that there was no movement for a long time. He turned his head and saw that this guy Jiang Chen was completely speechless as he directed his "bandits/soldiers" to carry boxes.

Jiang Chen and Ma Jun finally got on the train home and set foot on the return journey. People in the Northwest War Zone are more conscientious. This time they booked hard sleepers, which gave Jiang Chen a little bit of comfort. You know In recent years, train tickets have been in short supply. They can only be bought with a certificate issued by the unit, let alone sleeper tickets. These are only used by leaders with certain positions, and ordinary people do not have this qualification at all.According to Jiang Chen's lesson from last time, he got in the car and directly filled himself with a bottle of Erguotou, then fell asleep on the bed with his head covered, letting the loud noises make him unaware, this sleep was very comfortable until It was only when he arrived at the station that Ma Jun woke him up.

The person who came to pick them up was an old driver from the driver bar in the factory. Jiang Chen and the others called him Old Wu. A telegram was sent, so the factory leader specially arranged for him to pick them up at the station.

"What's wrong with Xiaochen?" Old Wu asked Ma Jun looking at Jiang Chen's drowsy look.

Ma Jun smiled wryly while carrying his luggage: "I thought the train was too noisy, so I poured myself a bottle of Erguotou as soon as I got on the train."

Old Wu laughed dumbly and said: "This kid, what kind of idea is this thinking, it will make him feel uncomfortable for a few days."

"Stop talking, hurry home, I'm going to die of pain." Jiang Chen said hoarsely while lying in the back seat.

"Haha, let's go, let's go." Lao Wu drove the car slowly towards B[-].

Back at B[-], the factory leader had originally arranged a reception banquet, but seeing Jiang Chen's state, they changed it to another day. As for the other day, there is no way of knowing.Jiang Chen didn't care about these, what he has to do now is to go back to sleep quickly, he is too uncomfortable now.

For several days in a row, Jiang Chen's condition was very bad, and his head still had a dull pain. This is the sequelae of drunkenness. It was the first time he got drunk here, and his body hadn't touched much alcohol, so the reaction was so strong. of.

Jiang Chen, who returned to B[-], had nothing to do, because this time the sniper rifle was still being tested by the General Assembly and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, so orders from various theaters were not in a hurry, and waited for the test results to come out. Unify equipment or buy equipment separately for each theater.This is also the safest way to do it in various theaters. Now that there are special personnel to conduct their tests, why not do it.And Jiang Chen could only wait quietly.

Regardless of this, Jiang Chen now has a more troublesome thing in front of him. His mother called him to ask him why he didn't come home after a business trip for a few days, and told his father that he had also completed the task and came back. Hurry back and reunite.For this father, Jiang Chen was also very disturbed, just like when he met his mother for the first time, he didn't know how to meet his father in this life.

Finally, after thinking about it, it doesn’t matter, we will meet sooner or later, we have to face it, so I picked up a few clothes and took some souvenirs of the exercise troops and drove Ma Jun’s broken car on the way home. road.

PS: What interesting stories will Jiang Chen have when he returns home to meet his father?And what will be the results of the tests of the final assembly and the Science and Industry Committee?What do you think of this father's foreshadowing?Welcome to continue to pay attention!Interested buddies can discuss in the message area and in the group. I am basically there and will participate in it.Please also support and recommend a lot!Sharing a good book with friends is also a very interesting thing to talk about!Uh, I boast that I am a good book, am I quite "two"!
