Chapter 345 Arrangement

Panshan Machinery Factory.

The quality inspection room is full of shells and mortars.

Liu Tao's mouth twitched, and he had a headache.

As the production capacity of other factories increased, the workload he had to inspect was also increasing.

And these are all related to the life and death of the soldiers, so he dare not be careless.

For example, the previous pass rate of shells has never met Liu Tao's requirements, which made Liu Tao never let it go.

Among the shells, the most technically demanding are special tank shells.

A considerable part of these tank shells are delivered to overseas orders.

Similarly, there are shells of various calibers for the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, and the number is also large.

In addition, there are mortar shells, howitzer shells, rockets, etc.

For shells like these, the pressure of delivering orders is not so great, and Liu Tao's requirements are very strict. Unqualified ones will jump out and then be handled by the quality inspection department instead of repairing them.

It is okay in emergencies, but when it is not urgent, it is naturally high standards and high requirements, and act in accordance with the established rules and regulations.

It was already five o'clock in the morning when Liu Tao finished testing all the weapons and ammunition in the quality inspection room.

He went to the canteen to eat a bowl of noodles and then went back to his residence to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already noon. Liu Tao washed his face, went to the canteen to have lunch, and then went to test the heavy equipment.

Type 80 main battle tank, Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, Type 81 medium tank, Type 81 light tank, Type 81 infantry fighting vehicle.

One by one, heavy equipment was parked, covered with camouflage cloth.

These are to avoid being detected.

After all, in addition to the planes in the sky, we have to guard against reconnaissance satellites in space.

Whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States, a large number of reconnaissance satellites are deployed in the air.

These reconnaissance satellites monitor major countries. Once there is a large-scale troop mobilization, it is often difficult to hide from the reconnaissance satellites in space.

Among this batch of equipment, a batch of Type 80 main battle tanks and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns will be delivered overseas.

Similarly, artillery shells, gun bullets, ‘Vanguard’ air defense missile launchers and ‘Vanguard’ air defense missiles will also be delivered at that time.

In addition, there are ‘Eagle Strike’ anti-ship missiles and ‘Aegis’ air defense missiles.

For example, the ‘Eagle Strike’ anti-ship missile, even the short-range ‘Eagle Strike’ anti-ship missile, costs as much as $100 per missile, and the launch vehicle is even more expensive.

Similarly, the ‘Aegis’ air defense missile is not sold by piece, but as a system.

These weapons are almost all shipped by sea, and only a few to Persia or Pakistan are shipped by land!

The most valuable single one among them is the ‘Aegis’ air defense missile!

And shipping by sea is done secretly. On the surface, it is a merchant ship. Otherwise, if the news is leaked, it will be difficult for those with ulterior motives, such as stopping the ship at sea for forced inspection, and then searching for weapons, which will be confiscated, and even a huge fine will be imposed.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the world. It always happens a few times a year. However, China and the United States are in a honeymoon period now. Facing the powerful and arrogant polar bear, everyone is huddling together for warmth, and this kind of thing has not happened to them yet.

1984 is coming, and the United States will hold the 23rd Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984.

The Soviet Union held the 22nd Olympic Games in 1980 and lost face in front of the whole world. This time, it also wants to retaliate against the United States. The Soviet Union believes that it is because of the United States that so many countries and regions boycotted the Moscow Olympic Games, which prevented the Soviet Union from properly displaying the Soviet Union's economic prosperity and cultural prosperity to the world.

So this time, the Soviet Union must also hit back at the United States and let the United States lose face in the world at the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games.

And China's attitude is particularly important.

Naturally, at a critical time, the United States will not do anything to upset China.

Just after completing the inspection of heavy equipment, the secretary came to report, "Director, Comrade Zhao Guoping is looking for you."

"What did you say?" Liu Tao asked.

The secretary said, "He said he wants to ask you for leave. He wants to go to the Political College to study."

Liu Tao immediately understood what was going on.

In theory, after Li Fuguo completed his further studies, Zhao Guoping should have gone to study, but because it happened to be the time when Panshan Machinery Factory was restructured and Zhao Guoping went to the Party School for further studies, the matter was delayed until now.

Liu Tao supported Zhao Guoping's further studies at the Political College.

Only by constantly studying and learning can we make faster progress. And if we go there, we will get to know senior military cadres from all over the country. This is a huge network of people and is very necessary.

"Then let Comrade Zhao Guoping come to the office. I will go back to the office now." Liu Tao said.

The secretary picked up a palm-sized mobile phone, which is the mobile phone they are using now, and it is also called a big brother in Hong Kong.

Such a mobile phone costs as much as 20,000 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and the network fee is 6,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In the entire Panshan Group system, only a part of the people have it.

Just after returning to the office and drinking a sip of water, I saw Zhao Guoping coming.

"Director, I have to leave for 10 months this time." Zhao Guoping said.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "It's a good thing to go for further study. Just study hard at the Political College and don't worry about work."

After experiencing the chaos at the beginning of the reform, it has been two years since the reform, and the entire system is on the right track.

It will not stop operating just because someone is away for a while.

Even if Liu Tao was transferred away from Panshan Group, the entire Panshan Group would continue to operate, instead of being in chaos. At most, the speed of weapon development would slow down and the product quality would decline.

"Thank you, Director!" Zhao Guoping said gratefully.

In the past few years, his promotion speed has been like riding a rocket.

If Liu Tao was the fastest to be promoted, he was the second fastest.

When he first came to Panshan Machinery Factory, he was still a newcomer who didn't know anything about Panshan Machinery Factory. But after a few years, he has married and had children. He is the father of two children. He is also responsible for the overall work of Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation and presided over the work of the Armed Forces Department with Li Fuguo.

Although he is very busy, Zhao Guoping is full of passion and motivation.

This time to study at the Political College is also a rare opportunity for him. He can receive more systematic military political system learning at school, improve his professional level, and also meet senior military cadres from all over the world.

This is very important to him.

It can be said that he saw Liu Tao's support for him and was very grateful in his heart. In his heart, Liu Tao is his Bole.

In this world, there are many good horses, but Bole is rare.

Liu Tao seemed to remember something and said, "When you come back from further studies this time, go to Kun City to take up a post and join the Kun City Municipal Party Committee."

"Comrade Xue Yunpeng will also go!" Liu Tao added.

Panshan Group is so large and rooted in Yunnan Province, its influence cannot be ignored.

Next, the headquarters will be moved to Kun City, and its influence in this regard will be even greater.

Liu Tao is in the Provincial Party Committee, and Zhao Guoping and Xue Yunpeng will also join the Kun City Municipal Party Committee.

This was also the last time that the leaders of Yunnan Province came to him to communicate with him.
