After returning to the conference room, Mr. Zhou gestured for the special forces soldiers to sit down, then said to Xu Jianguo, "Jianguo, Huang Hai told me earlier that you wanted to collect information on the use of upgraded equipment. Now that we have some time, why don't you have a good chat with the comrades?"
"Okay, Chief!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Okay, you guys can chat here. I have some things to take care of over there. When you're done here, come to my office!"
"yes!"
After the old man finished speaking, he left the meeting room.
Xu Jianguo and a group of special forces soldiers immediately saluted and watched him leave.
After the old man left, Xu Jianguo looked at everyone again. A moment later, bursts of happy laughter broke out in the conference room.
Since they were all young people and soldiers, they became friends after just a few words.
During his chat with everyone, Xu Jianguo learned that this trip to North Korea was far from as easy as he had expected. This was also thanks to Huang Hai who found him and proposed the idea of upgrading equipment.
Otherwise, who knows how many of those present today would be left!
It was precisely because of listening to the words of these young soldiers that Xu Jianguo's hatred for the United States and South Korea became even stronger.
After the greetings, Xu Jianguo expressed his thoughts. After he finished speaking, he went outside to find a lot of manuscript paper and pencils.
His idea was to have soldiers who had used the new equipment write down the problems they found while using it, so that he could go back and make adjustments and modifications based on these problems.
After all, every new type of equipment must be adjusted and modified many times before it is officially put into service, until it can meet the needs of the vast majority of people and truly reach the level of being handy, so that it can play its greatest role.
The nature of the work of special forces is different from that of ordinary combat troops. In most cases, they face emergencies, so they pay more attention to the convenience of using equipment.
Since Xu Jianguo had only produced four sets of new equipment before, not all soldiers had used them. Therefore, it only took Xu Jianguo more than an hour to collect all the information he needed.
After Xu Jianguo put all the information into his shoulder bag, he looked at the watch on his wrist, stood up and prepared to say goodbye to the special forces soldiers.
Everyone also knew that Xu Jianguo would have to go to his superiors soon, so naturally they had no objections.
After both sides stood at attention and saluted, Xu Jianguo turned and left the meeting room. The remaining soldiers packed up their manuscripts and pencils, began to line up, and then left the West Hall in uniform steps and returned to the Guard Bureau compound.
Xu Jianguo walked all the way to the outer room of Mr. Zhou's office. At this time, Chen Jin was sitting behind his desk waiting for him.
Seeing him coming, Chen Jin first smiled at him, then stood up and knocked on the door of the old man's office.
After getting the old man's permission, Xu Jianguo walked into the office.
The old man was looking at a document on his desk attentively. He looked up when he heard footsteps. When he saw that the person coming was Xu Jianguo, a smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand and pointed to the sofa beside him and said, "Sit there for a while!"
"Okay, Grandpa Zhou!" Xu Jianguo agreed and walked to the sofa and sat down.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Mr. Zhou wrote something on the document with a pen, then stood up and walked towards the sofa. Seeing this, Xu Jianguo quickly stood up.
After the old man sat down on the sofa, he pressed his hand down towards Xu Jianguo, motioning him to sit down.
"How was the conversation?" asked the old man.
"It's very good. All the problems encountered during use have been collected. I need to verify it after I go back. If I am sure that improvement is indeed needed, I will adjust the drawings." Xu Jianguo said truthfully.
“Well, this is well done!”
"You should do your job well, but if you don't do it well, you deserve to be scolded!"
The old man nodded and continued, "I've looked at your R&D plan for this year. There's nothing wrong with it. Just follow your own ideas."
"clear!"
"I left you here alone because I want to hear your thoughts on something."
"You say!"
"Do you remember what I told you before about adding more burdens to your burdens?"
"Yeah, I remember!"
"The country is currently very dissatisfied with the efficiency and results of some military research institutions. Through investigation, we have also discovered many problems, some of which are shocking."
Xu Jianguo did not speak, but continued to listen attentively.
"So, after the Spring Festival, the reform of military research institutions will begin. This reform is nationwide, and its purpose is to eliminate some bad apples from the team. The first to be affected are the various military research institutes in Jingzhou City. Of course, this definitely does not include your Light Weapons Research Institute."
"What do you need from me?"
"We held a meeting and decided to separate your Light Weapons Research Institute from the Dragon Academy of Sciences and make it a military research institute directly under the central government, with you as director and chief engineer."
"Directly under the Central Government?"
"right!"
"Is this any different from where I am now at the Dragon Academy?"
"Yes! Our idea is that you will not only be responsible for the research and development of light weapons in the future, but also be involved in other projects. Based on your past experience, I know that you are very proficient in mechanical manufacturing, so you must participate in any military project involving machinery!"
"I understand! How do we solve the personnel problem?"
"You don't need to worry about this. Since the military research institute will be directly under the central government, staffing will naturally be meticulous. We will take advantage of this nationwide reform of military research institutes to select a group of outstanding engineers and manufacturing workers, assign them to the institute, and hand it over to you for management."
Xu Jianguo thought for a moment, then stood up, saluted, and said, "Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"
The old man waved his hand at him and said, "I understand your work habits. Don't worry about this matter, and don't feel any pressure. Although you are the director and chief engineer, your daily work focus must still be on R&D. As for personnel management, I will assign you at least two very experienced deputies to assist you in your work. In other words, your main job remains unchanged, but the scale and responsibilities of the unit have increased."
"I understand! Grandpa Zhou, can I make a small request?"
