Chapter 587 Ideal and Reality
As the morning light breaks, the golden light gently falls like a veil on the military industrial park that is being integrated in Zhanjiang District.
After getting up at six o'clock, tens of thousands of military industry workers wearing uniform blue uniforms gathered out of the production workshops and ran along the wide and flat main roads in the park to exercise.
Like all the survivors under the rule of the Yezhou Military Region, the workers in the military factories in Zhanjiang District also followed the principles of militarized management. Except for not participating in military training, their schedules were almost exactly the same as those of the troops.
"One, two, one! One, two, one! One, two, three, four!"
"One, two, one! One, two, one! One, two, three, four!"
...
Waves of slogans echoed along with the workers' orderly steps in the long-abandoned Zhanjiang Industrial Zone, injecting vitality into the place again.
This emerging military industrial park was born out of the former Zhanjiang Industrial Zone. As a city with extremely strong industrial strength, Chongqing has almost all the equipment and production tools needed in the military industrial park.
The only thing that needs to be done is to integrate various types of metal processing equipment, forging equipment, welding equipment, heat treatment equipment, etc., design and assemble them into the required new production line, and move them into the new factory!
As the integration work is carried out in an orderly manner under the leadership of the experts of the Military Control Commission, the entire Zhanjiang Military Industrial Park has now completed about five percent of the integration work compared to the expected scale.
Don’t underestimate this 5%. All things are difficult at the beginning. With this 5% start, subsequent work will proceed quickly!
At this important moment when the industrial park was powered on and military products officially resumed production, Lu Chong turned down his morning work and was invited to participate in the offline ceremony of military products.
buzz~
Accompanied by the roar of diesel engines, a convoy consisting of a Mengshi 3 armored command vehicle and two Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicles quickly approached the gate of the military industrial park from the direction of the Zhanjiang gathering area.
The military industrial park is the darling of the Ye Province Military Region, and its security level is very high. Lu Chong is not only vigorously building a 20-meter-high wall around the park, but also stationing no less than two infantry battalions.
When the convoy arrived at the gate of the park, Zhang Jingyu, a soldier of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of Yezhou, who was on duty for security in the park, immediately went forward to check the origin of the vehicles in accordance with regulations. His childhood friend Hu Zhiming, who was on duty with him, stood by and kept a low profile.
Woohoo~
After a slight motor sound, the window of the leading Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicle rolled down, revealing the figure of a major sitting in the passenger seat and leading the vehicle.
"Zhanjiang Military Sub-district Inspection!"
The young major, who was in his early thirties, had a serious expression on his face. While speaking, he also produced an inspection certificate with the official seal of the Zhanjiang Military Sub-district Command.
"Hello, Chief!"
Seeing this, Corporal Zhang Jingyu was shocked and quickly stood at attention and saluted. He immediately turned to Ho Chi Minh who was on guard not far away and signaled to let him pass: "Chi Ming, lift the railing!"
"Yes!"
The people of Ho Chi Minh were also very smart. Although they couldn't tell who the convoy was based on the license plates, they knew that an important leader had arrived just by looking at the tone of their childhood friend's voice.
buzz~
As the convoy started up again and roared towards the park, Yang Jingyu looked at the convoy gradually going away and hurriedly took off the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder and called out:
zizi~
"Company! Company!"
"The company received it, go ahead!" The voice of the company clerk came over the intercom.
"Reporting to the company headquarters, the leader's motorcade was spotted at Gate No. 1, and the preliminary assessment is that it is Commander Lu Chong!"
"Roger that!"
When the intercom was disconnected, Hu Zhiming came over and asked curiously, "Jingyu, how do you know it was Commander Lu? Did you see him?"
"No" Zhang Jingyu shook his head
"But I saw Staff Officer Liu. Who in the entire Zhanjiang Military Sub-district doesn't know that Staff Officer Liu is serving as Commander Lu's secretary?"
"Besides, which leader would ride in a Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicle? Didn't you see the Mengshi 3 armored command vehicle sandwiched in the middle?"
Looking at Zhang Jingyu's as if it was a matter of course, the fat boy Hu Zhiming didn't understand but was greatly shocked.
No wonder his father is the mayor, while my father is a businessman...
However, Zhang Jingyu had no time to pay attention to his childhood friend's admiring expression at the moment. His mind had already been drawn away by the convoy that had just left.
"Commander Lu is so impressive. I heard that even Zhou Yu, the mayor of Base City who was recently transferred here and partnered with his father, has to listen to his instructions obediently... He is only in his early thirties..."
"Tsk tsk~ I wish I could become a commander in the future. Not to mention a commander, even an ordinary military officer would be fine..."
Having experienced the baptism of the barbaric end of the world, Zhang Jingyu, who once dreamed of achieving great political success like his father, had already developed a morbid worship of the use of force.
Political strategies and tactics are indeed brilliant, but how can they be as direct and powerful as gunpowder and caliber?
“I don’t know when the military academy will be able to recruit grassroots soldiers in the future…” When Zhang Jingyu thought of the gap between ideal and reality, he couldn’t help but reveal a bitter expression.
...
"Welcome, welcome! Welcome Commander Lu Chong to the park to inspect and guide our work!"
In front of the office building of the park management committee, Academician Li Tianlin and his staff held a simple welcome ceremony for Lu Chong's arrival.
A bunch of unimportant staff were grabbed to make up the numbers, and a small banner was hung to create a great atmosphere.
If they want to carry out work smoothly in Zhanjiang District, Lu Chong's support is naturally indispensable. Therefore, the Military Control Commission leadership group also gives enough face to this type of Party A.
Not only did they specially invite Lu Chong to attend today's resumption of work and production ceremony, but they also sent Academician Li Tianlin, one of the deputy leaders of the Military Control Commission's leadership group, to receive him in person. It can be said that they gave him enough face!
"Hahaha! Academician Li, you are too polite. I am just a crude warrior. I am not worthy of being given the title of inspection and guidance!"
"I, Lu Chong, came here today with the intention of learning!"
For academicians like Li Tianlin, although they are just technical cadres with no real power, Lu Chong still dares not neglect them.
If it was an ordinary technical cadre, even if it was a colonel with the same rank as him, Lu Chong would dare to scold him! He would drill if he was told to drill!
After all, technical cadres know what they know. They have high ranks but low power. It is not uncommon for a major battalion commander to point at a colonel technical cadre and curse at him.
But as long as a technical cadre is promoted to a general, especially with the title of academician, he will definitely become an important figure in the military!
Not to mention that he, Lu Chong, is only a military sub-district commander now. Even if he becomes a military district commander in the future, people like him must be given enough respect!
Because these are true top talents, each one of them is quite irreplaceable!
"Hahaha~ Commander Lu is so modest. Team Leader Wang Aibang and his colleagues are too busy to come, so they can only appoint me, an idle person, to receive you. Please don't leave an old man like me alone!"
After hearing the explanation from Academician Li Tianlin, Lu Chong naturally knew that this was just an excuse made up by the other party.
But considering Academician Li Tianlin's status in the military, the fact that he could find a reason to explain it was already a disguised way of giving respect to Lu Chong!
After all, if it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't even bother to pay attention to you, let alone find a reason to explain.
So what could Lu Chong do? Of course he chose to pretend to believe it!
Lu Chong’s idea is very simple, as long as he is willing to spend time thinking about himself, that’s enough!
"Academician Li, you are too kind. The experts in the Military Control Commission are all the gods of literature. I am very happy to meet you. How dare I complain?"
"Hahaha~ Then Commander Lu, let's stop being so modest with each other. I'll take you to see the Zhanjiang Arsenal now?"
"I can't ask for it!"
"please!"
