As time goes by, the progress of weapons production at the island base is gradually stabilizing.
So far, the deployment of destructive weapons against Japan's ten major cities has been completed.
In the subsequent stages, Xu Jianguo will continue to deploy ordinary and disaster-level weapons in these cities and other cities.
In addition, ordinary-grade weapons for retaliation against the United States and South Korea have also been manufactured. Xu Jianguo plans to visit these two countries in the near future to install the weapons, and then before the Chinese New Year, he will invite the people of these two countries to watch a grand fireworks show for free.
That morning, Xu Jianguo, who was organizing Li Delong and several others to study, received a call from Wei Guoqiang.
Wei Guoqiang on the phone told him that the central government had approved the weapons upgrade plan he submitted and that the next step of research and development could begin at any time.
Xu Jianguo was not at all excited about this, because in his opinion, this was a natural thing.
Before hanging up the phone, Wei Guoqiang revealed a piece of news to him.
In view of his previous weapons upgrade for the Guard Bureau's special forces, which protected the lives of superiors and special forces soldiers, and the huge role the weapons and equipment played in fighting the enemy, the central government decided to award Xu Jianguo the First Class Medal of Merit and the Second Class Hero Model title.
Although Xu Jianguo did not fight on the front line, the bigwigs in the central government believed that as a hero behind the scenes, he was fully qualified to receive this honor.
After listening to the gossip revealed to him by Wei Guoqiang, Xu Jianguo's originally calm mood finally became a little excited.
"Uncle Wei, are you telling the truth? Don't fool me!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Tsk, what good will it do me to fool you? The matter has been settled, you just wait to be awarded the medal!" Wei Guoqiang said unhappily.
"Hehe, that's right!" Xu Jianguo said with a silly smile.
"You little brat!" Wei Guoqiang cursed with a smile. After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Oh, by the way, there's one more thing. For this equipment upgrade, all the material applications must go through us. I'll arrange for two people to work over there. Just ask them for any materials you need!"
Xu Jianguo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Uncle, why is this happening? We didn't need to do this before!"
Wei Guoqiang thought about it and finally decided to tell Xu Jianguo what he knew. Anyway, the core of this matter has basically been decided, and Xu Jianguo, as the chief engineer of the institute, will know it sooner or later.
"Let me tell you something else. It hasn't been announced yet. Just keep it to yourself and don't go out and talk nonsense!" Wei Guoqiang said.
"I understand the rules, just tell me!" Xu Jianguo said with a sneer.
"Considering the poor R&D capabilities of existing military research institutes, and after investigation, the serious bureaucracy has affected the development of national military technology, after listening to opinions from all parties, we have decided to initiate a series of rectification actions at the institutes!"
"How to rectify it?" Actually, Xu Jianguo already had a guess in his mind, but he didn't expect it to happen so early. However, in order to prevent Wei Guoqiang from getting suspicious, he still asked patiently.
"The first step in the rectification plan is that all military equipment research institutes will be self-sufficient in the future. In other words, only by producing good research projects will they receive national policy and financial support, and the salaries and allowances of scientific researchers will also be linked to their R&D projects."
Sure enough, what Wei Guoqiang said was exactly the same as what he had guessed in his heart, but he did not feel any dissatisfaction with it. Instead, he thought it was a particularly good thing.
Since Xu Jianguo joined the army, he has come into contact with at least 80 scientific researchers of all sizes, but in his opinion, the vast majority of them are overambitious and lack the skills. Some even do not do research and development properly, and resort to despicable tactics such as misidentification. Of course, such people never have a good ending in the end.
Therefore, Xu Jianguo absolutely supports the series of rectification measures that the central government is about to announce. After all, if even he can see the problems, how could the higher-ups not see them?
After Wei Guoqiang finished speaking, he heard no sound coming from the receiver. Thinking Xu Jianguo was unsure, he smiled and said, "Well, kid, are you scared now? You can't be lazy from now on. You have to work harder!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jianguo curled his lips and said, "Afraid? There's no such word in my dictionary. If it weren't for the fact that our country is short of money and our manufacturing technology is still very backward, I would have come up with something more powerful long ago!"
"Hahaha, alright, I'm relieved when you say that! Don't worry about this matter. Maybe your institute will have other arrangements by then!"
"Hmm? Other arrangements?"
"Yes, but I don't know the specific arrangements. Anyway, just do your job well and don't worry about anything else!"
"Okay, with your words, I feel at ease!"
"Alright, I have something else to do later. I'll send someone over to you later. Just assign all the application materials related to our Ministry of State Security project to those two people!"
"It's settled!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jianguo picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then lit a cigarette for himself and slowly started smoking.
After receiving the news that the institute was self-financing, Xu Jianguo was very happy, because this indicated that the central government had noticed some unstable factors that affected the country's development.
In Xu Jianguo's view, the rectification of the institute is just the beginning, and there will inevitably be subsequent reform measures targeting other industries.
After extinguishing the cigarette in the ashtray, Xu Jianguo stood up and left the office, continuing to study with Li Delong and others.
After the last equipment upgrade project of the Security Bureau, Xu Jianguo found that the ability of his men in hands-on operations was unquestionable, but this was not what he wanted to see.
It is always said that there are more solutions than problems. Xu Jianguo's vision for the future team is that everyone is a designer and engineer. Even the most insignificant idea is likely to play a significant role in a key project, which is what we often call brainstorming.
So what Xu Jianguo is doing now is to cultivate the ability of Li Delong and others to think independently through learning, instead of doing whatever work he gives them based on the drawings as before.
At noon, Xu Jianguo, Li Delong and others went to the third canteen of Longke Institute for lunch. As soon as they returned to the institute, they saw Bai Xiujuan leading two young people, a man and a woman, out of her office.
