"Commanders, there is no use in delaying time. You are all members of the organization and veterans. You must know the consequences of disobeying orders, right?" Seeing that Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang did not speak, Zhuang Minghui continued to speak.
"I want to know who issued this order?" Ma Guoliang asked.
"I have nothing to say. You just need to follow the orders of your superiors. As for the rest, you don't need to know." Zhuang Minghui said.
In fact, after the five people arrived at the base yesterday afternoon, Ma Guoliang immediately called Mr. Su who was far away in Jingzhou, but unfortunately, the phone in the old man’s office was always unanswered.
Then he called the old man's home, but according to the operator's feedback, his home phone was currently disconnected, which made Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang feel very depressed.
They guessed that something must have happened to Mr. Su.
Ma Guoliang ignored Zhuang Minghui and turned to look at Dong Jixiang, but found that he was also looking at him. Both of them saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
At this moment, Zhuang Minghui's somewhat impatient voice came: "What exactly do you two think? Just tell me straight up, do you really want to disobey orders?"
"I'm not feeling well. I'll call the research institute later. You guys can go there by yourselves!" Ma Guoliang said in a low and hoarse voice.
Zhuang Minghui seemed to have expected him to say this, so he didn't care at all, but looked at Dong Jixiang.
"My blood pressure has been a little high these past two days." Dong Jixiang said without even looking at him.
"Okay, since the two commanders are not feeling well, you should take a good rest. We will go there now! But I have to remind you that if we encounter anyone who does not cooperate when we go there later, you know the consequences!" Zhuang Minghui stood up, stared at Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang, and said with a smile on his face.
As the door closed, Dong Jixiang slapped the conference table, his whole body trembling slightly with anger.
"Old Ma, what should we do?"
"We can't contact the old leader now. The other party is obviously well prepared. If all else fails, just hand him over. As long as we can keep Jianguo, everything else will be easy!"
"Damn it! They're just bandits. We fought bravely on the battlefield, but we ended up helping these people!"
Ma Guoliang did not continue speaking, but stood up, patted Dong Jixiang on the shoulder, and walked outside first.
After the two returned to the office, Ma Guoliang picked up the phone on the table and called Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo's voice came from the receiver: "Hello, this is Xu Jianguo!"
"Establish a nation!"
"Commander, what's the situation now? Have you contacted the old man?"
"Not yet. I called you to tell you something. You should be mentally prepared."
"Okay, you say!"
"The people from the Jingzhou Martial Arts Research Institute's Revolutionary Committee just left me and are heading your way. I told you last night that their target this time is the institute. Don't resist. Just hand over what needs to be handed over. I'll transfer you out later. As long as you're here, I'll hand over the entire institute."
"Okay, I get it! But I want to ask, if they break the rules, can I deal with them?"
"What do you mean? I'm telling you, don't mess around!"
"I won't do anything rash. Just tell me, can I handle them?"
Ma Guoliang pondered for a moment before speaking: "It depends on what rules they broke. What do you want to do?"
"What should we do if they see confidential documents?" Xu Jianguo asked.
After hearing what Xu Jianguo said, Ma Guoliang's eyes suddenly shot out a gleam of light, and he knew what he meant in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said: "Confidential documents can be arrested directly. Confidential documents depend on the situation. Those who are in the eyes can be shot to death. If it is a top-secret document, then they can be shot to death directly."
"Okay, I understand. You and Deputy Commander Dong don't have to worry about me. Please continue to contact the old man. I think there must be a problem. If it doesn't work, you can use your connections to inquire from other sources."
"Okay, I know you have an idea in mind, but we still have to be cautious about this matter. What we just said is irrelevant. Just remember to make this matter as big as possible!"
"clear!"
After watching the two foxes, one old and one young, hang up the phone, Dong Jixiang, who was sitting nearby smoking, immediately asked, "What were you two talking about? What document is top secret? Does Jianguo have any top secret documents?"
Ma Guoliang did not tell Dong Jixiang about the matter, but shook his head slightly at him.
The two men had worked together for decades, so they had some tacit understanding. When Dong Jixiang saw his old friend like this, he immediately shut up and continued to smoke.
In fact, it was not that Ma Guoliang did not trust Dong Jixiang, but that the old leader had lost contact, and the people from the Revolutionary Committee had set their sights on the 523 Institute. All these things happened at the same time, forcing him to be cautious.
At the 523 Institute, Xu Jianguo hung up the phone and called Pei Zhiwei directly to tell him what had happened, which made this scientific research cadre furious.
A few minutes later, the 523rd Institute, which had been conducting production research in an orderly manner, was in complete chaos. Almost everyone knew that people from the Revolutionary Committee of the Jingzhou Military Research Institute were coming to pick the peaches of the base.
Since the change of guard at the Binhai base, most of the people in the institute came for Xu Jianguo, and only a small number of them were old employees of the institute.
Therefore, there were differences of opinion between the workers and scientific researchers. Some people felt that there was nothing wrong with the institute being independent and under the management of the Wuhan Research Institute. No matter how the higher-ups changed, they would still have to do the same work.
The other group of people, who were the ones who stayed because of Xu Jianguo, thought that the people in the Revolutionary Committee were too greedy. Among these people, there were some particularly clear-headed people who knew that the real core of the 523 Institute was actually Xu Jianguo, and simply taking the institute away would be useless.
Besides, Xu Jianguo is already a colonel. At worst, he will be transferred to another position in the base. But if that happens, their future will be uncertain. It is not an exaggeration to say that their future is uncertain.
So after some people's analysis, more than 80% of the people, including Li Delong and six others, secretly made the decision that they would follow Xu Jianguo closely.
If Xu Jianguo really wants to leave the 523 Institute at that time, they will follow him without hesitation. The reason is that they believe that this chief engineer who has led them to create countless brilliant achievements will continue to create miracles.
As for Zhuang Minghui and his companions, they arrived at the foot of the mountain where the institute was located in two jeeps. After the soldiers from the agency's motorcade parked the car, they got out and walked towards the entrance halfway up the mountain.
