"The situation you mentioned has definitely been taken into consideration by the higher-ups. Although I don't know why they have to manufacture and assemble it here in Binhai, the top brass must have their own reasons. But you'd better listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. The old leader appoints you as the chief engineer of the 523rd Arsenal, and you will be fully responsible for the manufacturing of new equipment." Ma Guoliang continued.
"Cough cough cough, what? Let me be the chief engineer? Are you kidding, old man?" Xu Jianguo was choked by the smoke and asked with a cough.
"What's the matter? Are you unhappy?" Ma Guoliang said unhappily.
"That's not the case. I just feel that with my limited qualifications, I may not be able to do the job well!" Xu Jianguo said.
"From the tone of the old leader, I can tell that the situation is not optimistic. So you can't let me down at this time. When it's time to take the lead, you must hold on for me!" Ma Guoliang said with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo quickly put out the cigarette in his hand, then stood up and said, "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
Ma Guoliang looked at his serious expression, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Good military posture, keep it up!"
Xu Jianguo looked at Ma Guoliang somewhat confusedly, not knowing what he meant by this, but he saw the old man open the drawer of his desk and took out a brown paper bag from it.
When he took the things out of the paper bag, the corners of Xu Jianguo's mouth began to curl up involuntarily.
After Ma Guoliang sorted out his things, he looked up at Xu Jianguo. When he saw this guy looking at him with a smile on his face, he immediately rolled his eyes at him and said, "Look at your little achievements. Do you think you are so happy?"
"Why not? I'm proud!" Xu Jianguo said with a big laugh.
"You kid, keep a low profile and don't show off for no reason!" Ma Guoliang stood up and said, then picked up the colonel's epaulettes on the table and walked in front of Xu Jianguo and replaced his current epaulettes.
"Hehe, you don't know me yet. I'm known for being low-key!" Xu Jianguo said with a silly smile.
"What the hell are you calling low-key? Look at what you have done before, which of them has anything to do with being low-key?" Ma Guoliang cursed.
"Be careful next time, be careful next time!" Xu Jianguo said.
Ma Guoliang circled around Xu Jianguo, patted him on the back, and said, "Jianguo, the new equipment you designed won't be deployed to the entire army yet. I suspect it's intended for special operations forces. You were the one who came up with this theory. I think the people at the Central Command also want to use this opportunity to train their troops. After all, it's hard to find a sharpener as good as Yindu. So, you better pay attention to this mission. Whether you and our Binhai Base can become famous throughout the army depends on you!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"By the way, it's time for our base to change guards next year. I secretly asked the old leader where we were going, but he didn't tell me. He asked me to ask you what you think!" Ma Guoliang continued.
There are seven major military regions in Longxia, and these seven major military regions have fifty military bases under their jurisdiction. According to the rules formulated by the central government, these military bases must be rotated after a certain number of years.
Of course, the rotation of defense mentioned here does not mean a swap between the north and the south, because if the distance is too far, the transportation of equipment and troops will be a problem.
Therefore, the central government stipulated that the seven military regions were responsible for the rotation of bases within their own defense zones. In other words, the rotation of the Binhai base had to obey the orders of the Fengzhou Military Region.
Xu Jianguo looked at Ma Guoliang with a confused look on his face and said, "What do you mean, old man? Why are you asking me about this?"
"How would I know? Anyway, I've asked. You can take some time to think about it!" Ma Guoliang said.
"Okay, I get it! Oh, what a miserable life. I originally wanted to wait until this project was over to ask for leave to go back and visit my family, but now it seems that there is no chance. I'd better think about how to explain to my wife when I go back!" Xu Jianguo said pitifully.
"Get out! Are these few days all you need? Once things here are over, you can take as long a break as you want!" Ma Guoliang said.
"Hehe, this is what you said. I will tell my wife when I get back. Please don't cheat when the time comes!" Xu Jianguo said with a lewd expression.
Ma Guoliang's face darkened instantly, thinking, "I've been careless. What if this guy wants to take a year off?" It seems I need to have my wife talk to Wen Sitian about this, to avoid a bad ending.
"Get out of here! I'm annoyed just seeing you. Leave your old documents behind and take the rest of the things with you!" Ma Guoliang cursed.
"Why are you still swearing, you old man? I can't afford to play with you!" Xu Jianguo muttered softly as he silently tidied up the things on the table.
"What are you mumbling about?" Ma Guoliang asked.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, Commander, I'm leaving!" Xu Jianguo said, and then he walked quickly towards the door.
Ma Guoliang watched Xu Jianguo's departing back with a smile on his face. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he chased after him to the door and shouted, "Go back and tell your workers that this time they are no longer apprentices. All the new workers will be divided into six groups. They will be the team leaders and will each make different equipment."
"I know!" Xu Jianguo's voice echoed in the corridor.
After leaving the headquarters, Xu Jianguo looked at his watch and found that it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. After thinking about it, he got on the jeep and drove towards the 523 Institute.
When they returned to the small workshop, Li Delong and his colleagues had already cleaned up the entire operation room, and the metal wire scraps on the ground were swept into a pile in the corner.
