Not long after Tan Bin put down the phone, the door of his office was pushed open. One was thin, wearing a brand new 65-style military uniform. The bright red collar looked particularly dazzling against his dark face. The pair of phoenix eyes under his sword eyebrows exuded a resolute and courageous light, and the spotted short hair stood upright, like rows of thick small steel needles embedded on his scalp, which complemented his pine-like upright figure!

"I'm talking about you Liu Haotian, Liu Dabang, I haven't seen you for so many years and still feel so energetic!" The person who walked into Tan Bin's office was nothing but Liu Haotian, director of the Military Quality Inspection Department of the Guixi Provincial Department of Defense Science and Technology. However, Liu Haotian seemed to be very familiar with Tan Bin, and he was not much restrained after coming in, and sat down directly on the sofa next to him:

"It seems like you, Tan Dapao, met me on the first day. Since the day you joined the army, I have lost my energy?"

After hearing Liu Haotian's words, Tan Bin was not angry. Instead, he smiled happily as he met his old friends for many years. While handing Liu Haotian a tea cup full of water, he sat next to him and continued to smile:

"Last time I removed the intelligence network of the Soviet Military Intelligence Bureau, I did a pretty job!"

Liu Haotian took the tea handed over by Tan Bin, and a cheerful smile appeared on his dark face, and his tone of speech became sonorous and powerful: "Anyway, it's still what the old leader once said. When a friend comes, there is good wine. If a jackal comes, we will pick up the hunting rifle and hit him. Not to mention the Soviets, even if an American, as long as the British dares to act wildly on the Chinese land, we will beat him back without mercy!"

"It should be like this!" As soon as Liu Haotian finished speaking, Tan Bin responded without hesitation, and then looked up and down at Liu Haotian sitting opposite him:

"No matter what, it's better to see if you wear your military uniform back, how about it? Are you still adapting to the headquarters?"

"Adapt!" Liu Haotian took a sip of tea, then put it on the coffee table, with a trace of confusion on his face: "I understand transferring me back to the headquarters, but why did he transfer Li Ming to the Naval Research Institute? In addition, Yang Limin from Wanshan Factory returned to the Southwest Aviation Institute, and Hu Qinghua continued to develop a portable rocket launcher in the G Military Region. In just a few days, the talents in our Guixi military system have been allocated by you, Tan Bin!"

After hearing what Liu Haotian said, Tan Bin explained with a smile: "Li Ming was an acoustics and ship expert, and he was also in Guixi Provincial Department for training. It is normal to return to the Naval Research Institute now. Yang Limin, oh no, he should be called Yang Hongyi, and Hu Qinghua are also in the familiar fields!"

As he spoke, Tan Bin's tone became more serious: "Besides, military industry development is a game of chess in the country, and it cannot be limited to the gains and losses of a province and a place. I said, Lao Liu, after so many years, your idea of ​​protecting your child has really changed!"

As soon as Tan Bin finished speaking, Liu Haotian seemed to have met Tan Bin again, and reexamined the slightly fat and burly old comrade in front of him:

"Huh? I said Lao Tan, I have been at the headquarters for several years. How do you think you have a trend towards political cadres?" After saying that, Liu Haotian paused for a moment, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he continued half-jokingly:

"Our General Staff Department second part is missing a political commissar, otherwise I will talk to the old leader and transfer you to it!"

As soon as Liu Haotian finished speaking, Tan Bin smiled and pointed Liu Haotian: "Look, look, no wonder the old leader wanted to transfer you, Liu Dabanger, back. That sentence is really right..."

Before Tan Bin finished speaking, Liu Haotian opened his eyes wide and asked curiously: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Tan Bin glanced at Liu Haotian, took a breath on his face as if he was mysterious, and then exhaled gently and continued, "Tell me, I've been doing missions outside for so many years, and everyone has become wild!"

"Isn't you the same with your old Tan? You have become more and more courageous over the years!"

When Tan Bin heard Liu Haotian's words, he didn't think anything was wrong, but then he felt something was wrong. There seemed to be something in the words. Looking at the slightly deep smile on Liu Haotian's dark face, Tan Bin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned against Liu Haotian:

"How is it? What did the old chief say about Pakistan's request?"

Those who can be the position of Minister of the General Staff Equipment Department are naturally stronger than ordinary people. Besides, Tan Bin also knows that the main task of Liu Haotian's transfer back to the headquarters is to reintegrate the General Staff's external liaison department. The most important one is to divide arms sales from the General Staff Equipment Department so that the senior management can directly control and manage them unifiedly. The request issued by Pakistan is exactly under the jurisdiction of Liu Haotian. Because of this, Liu Haotian did not feel particularly strange about Tan Bin's question. If he couldn't ask, he would be a ghost:

"To be honest, the old leader agrees with your opinion in principle, but this view still has differences within the top leaders!" As he said that, Liu Haotian took out two cigarettes, handed one to Tan Bin, then lit it himself, took a sip and continued:

"The most important thing is the relationship between Pakistan and us. It has been our aid country since the 1960s. Now that the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, the front of the army has approached the Pakistani border. As long as the Soviet armored forces charge at full speed, they can enter the Indian Ocean.

In addition, the traditional enemy India is an ally of the Soviet Union, which means that Pakistan is in a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides. In such a dangerous situation, the Pakistani government is feeling uncomfortable. It is precisely because of this that Pakistan spares no effort to support Afghanistan's anti-Soviet guerrillas. Although the United States and other Western countries have provided Pakistan with certain assistance based on global strategic interests, it is far from meeting Pakistan's huge needs.

Because of this, even if Pakistan does not ask for weapons and equipment, our country cannot sit idly by. After all, we cannot let our good partners and good neighbors be threatened by hegemony. We will inevitably provide assistance within our ability and fully support Pakistan's anti-Soviet struggle!"

"If it is to provide assistance, we can't bring it up, but..."

Tan Bin did not finish his words, but Liu Haotian could understand and knew his concerns very well. In fact, it was not just Tan Bin. In the General Staff, the Military Commission, the State Council and the senior management, many people held the same idea as Tan Bin. The starting point of this idea came from several arms transactions completed by the General Staff’s Eighth External Liaison Office.

These transactions not only obtained the mechanical equipment and electronic chips that were urgently needed in China, but also earned millions of foreign exchange. At that time, the country's foreign exchange was in short supply, and the words of export-making foreign exchange appeared in almost all official media and newspapers and magazines. It can be said that every piece of foreign exchange was very valuable.

This is especially true for the army that has insufficient military expenditure. This millions of foreign exchange is a timely rain for the country and the army. The key projects and projects of many countries and the army have been continued and developed because of the injection of millions of foreign exchange!

More importantly, these several successful arms transactions are like opening a skylight in the minds of the army and senior management. The old leaders of these veteran generals who have been through the battlefield did not expect that these guns and ammunition can also make money in addition to fighting, and make a lot of money. This is tantamount to planting a seed of ignorance in the hearts of these old leaders who have walked from the bottom and are eager to get rid of poverty and backward conditions. This seed soon took root in their hearts, sprouted and then grew into a lush towering tree, making them unable to forget the sweetness and benefits of arms sales!

The complexity of the request for weapons and equipment requests made by Pakistan is here. If Pakistan had made similar requests a few years ago, it was estimated that the senior leaders would have approved it quickly and provide unconditional free assistance. However, it is different now. The army and senior leaders who are well aware of the benefits of weapons and equipment sales have to re-examine this application. Some senior leaders even proposed to sell these weapons and equipment at the international arms market prices.

However, this view has also been opposed by many people, and their starting point is not wrong. After all, Pakistan is a neighbor of China and has a strong traditional friendship. They are threatened, and China is also in a state of disgrace. Supporting Pakistan to immediately restrain the Soviet Union can alleviate India's threat to the Tibet border. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. Because of this, this matter is no longer a matter of money or not, but a matter of national strategic interests. Therefore, this group of people advocate free assistance in accordance with past policies and practices to Pakistan!

Since Pakistan's request was sent, the two factions have been quarreling with their views. In theory, neither faction is wrong. It is just that the starting point of view of the problem is different. The most important thing is to find a practical and feasible balance point of interest, a balance point that coordinates international morality and commercial interests!

For this point, both Tan Bin and Liu Haotian are very clear about their psychology. Judging from Liu Haotian's meaningful smile, he probably knew more. Tan Bin was originally impatient. When he saw Liu Haotian's appearance, how could he not know that he had already received the exact news from the old leader, so his face darkened and he pretended to be angry:

"Old Liu, why did you learn so deeply on the hidden front? You can't say anything in one breath?"

After hearing Tan Bin's words, Liu Haotian's smile couldn't help but be even better, and then he extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray:

"Actually nothing, it's just a sixteen-character policy: deepen friendship, do your best, mutual benefit and win-win, and innovate relationships!"
Chapter completed!
