The reason is very simple. Because Lu Yuan and others lack experience and experience in studying abroad, they know nothing about international trade, and they lack knowledge about the origin acquisition plan.
Without investigation, there is no right to speak.
Since Professor Zhuang, Yu Hua, and Comrade Li Qiang all support it, it means that this plan is really feasible, and they, who have no say, naturally have no objection.
"Okay, the General Affairs Section immediately converted the rubber issue into a written form and gave it to me, focusing on the importance of rubber, writing down the gap data, and finally attaching the origin acquisition plan. The meeting will be held here for the time being. Comrade Li Qiang will stay, and the rest will
The meeting is adjourned." Chen Kang spoke quickly and anxiously. When he realized the importance of rubber and the remaining reserves, his whole mentality was like that of a common people about to suffer from famine, anxious and uneasy. After making arrangements, he immediately announced that the meeting was adjourned.
Rubber is too important and time is too scarce.
If there is no rubber, rubber products such as sealing rings, oil pipelines, transmission belts, tires, etc. will not be able to continue to be produced. The Red Star tractor will be in a tireless situation, and the engine will be without transmission belts and oil pipelines.
This is undoubtedly a disaster for the slightly improved industrial system in the base area!
As Professor Zhuang said, this is a race against time. We must get enough rubber before the Japanese troops point their way to the base area.
The meeting ends and everyone leaves in an orderly manner. Leisure time is always short, time waits for no one, and there is still a lot of work to be done.
Soon, Chen Kang and Li Qiang left the headquarters of the Military Industry Bureau, took the latest rubber problem report, and went straight to the cave dwelling. If they want to implement the origin acquisition plan, they must get approval from the cave dwelling.
…
"Sending special personnel abroad to Thailand and Myanmar, contacting local overseas Chinese to purchase rubber from small and medium-sized rubber plantations, and leasing foreign ships to transport it to Guangzhou, in order to avoid inspection by Japanese warships, this origin acquisition plan is indeed very bold."
"I didn't expect that this little piece of rubber would become a stumbling block for us. Boss, what do you think?"
"I agree, treating a dead horse like a living horse. According to reports from comrades in the South, no rubber resources can be found on the market. The Japanese are buying, and Nanjing is also buying, sugar, steel, tung oil, rubber and other strategic resources.
Everything has entered a state of control. Unless we pass through Nanjing, there is no possibility of obtaining a large amount of rubber."
"Then follow this plan. It is already a matter of time before the Nankou battle fails. The Japanese army will capture Nankou in ten days at most. We will have two to three months at most. In terms of personnel, I think No. 5 will decide.
Fortunately, we have a lot of financial resources during this period. Otherwise, we would really be powerless. Boss, after Chen Laizi leaves, how will Li Qiang plan to take charge of the Military Industry Bureau?"
"On this point, Comrade Li Qiang answered me in four words - Xiao Gui and Cao Sui."
"Haha, it's very interesting. This Xiao Gui Cao Sui is good. He not only affirms Chen Kang's hard work and wisdom, but also shows his elegance. Have you completed the appointment procedures for Comrade Li Qiang?"
"It's been done. He officially took office on the 18th. However, this guy Chen Laizi is pestering me for a weapons approval note. The amount is so much. Do you want to approve it or not?"
"I have been working for so long, and there is no merit but hard work. What's more, I have created such a huge family business. Although it is a bit more, it is reasonable and can be criticized."
…
Late at night.
The bright moon is like frost, the cold wind is caressing, and autumn has arrived earlier than in previous years, which also means that this year it is even... colder.
"This is the general situation of the Military Industry Bureau for the time being. What you have to pay attention to is the heavy weapons project and the purchase of rubber. However, I still want to remind you that the identities of Professor Zhuang Qianding and Yu Hua must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked.
.”
On the way back from the big cave dwelling, Chen Kang carefully explained various things, completed the preparations before leaving, and repeatedly told Li Qiang: "In addition, there is the oxygen top-blown converter technology used by Yulin Iron and Steel Plant, which is an epoch-making steel
The metallurgical technology, smelting efficiency and output are ten times higher than the iron and steel metallurgical technology used by Western powers. Once exposed, we will be like a child crossing the street with a big pile of gold, do you understand?"
The words were extremely serious at the end.
"I understand. I really can't imagine that our steel and metallurgical technology has surpassed the West and is leading the entire world. Even the Soviet Union, a major industrial country, has been left behind by us in the steel field." Li Qiang still recalled that he had just completed his official appointment.
The top-secret documents learned after the formalities were revealed in a tone of disbelief.
He finally understood why Chen Kang respected Zhuang Qianding and Yu Hua in every aspect, because the oxygen top-blown converter technology came from them.
No, it can be said that everything in the base area now is because of Zhuang Qianding and Yu Hua.
It was so shocking and unbelievable that Li Qiang could not imagine that such a huge family business of the Military Industry Bureau was built in less than a year.
It is true that the scale of the Military Industry Bureau is small, but the advantage is that its level is extremely high. Compared with the industrial development plan planned by Nanjing next door, it is more than a bit better.
"Who says it isn't? Even if I think about it now, it still feels like a dream. These are all the contributions of Yu Hua and Professor Zhuang." Chen Kang looked back on the establishment of the Military Industry Bureau so far with emotion, and then withdrew his gaze and took a look.
Li Qiang said: "Okay, let's not mention this. I have something to tell you. I need to take 2 tractors with me before departure."
"2 units?!"
Li Qiang was stunned when he heard this, and his tone suddenly became higher, and he said quickly: "I'm afraid I can't make the decision, the boss is still thinking about it."
Not surprisingly, the Red Star tractor, which has extremely strong off-road performance and load-bearing performance, will become a hot star product. Due to rubber problems and the inability to produce large-scale industrial production, the Red Star tractor is destined to be precious and scarce for a long time.
As far as he knew, apart from prototypes, the Military Industry Bureau only had assembly parts for fifteen tractors on hand.
This guy Chen Kang can talk twice as much as he opens his mouth. Isn’t it going to cost him, the quasi-director, his life?
"I didn't let you make the decision. This is a notice. I am still the director of the Military Industry Bureau and have the right to decide the distribution of single-digit Red Star tractors." Chen Kang looked at Li Qiang with a smile, and his words were sharp and direct.
The corners of Li Qiang's mouth twitched slightly, and he cursed in his heart: "..."
What a bandit!
These words left him speechless.
"Also, this is the weapons and ammunition approval slip given to me by the boss. Special approval is for 24 guns, 2,000 items, 2,400 rounds of artillery shells, 200,000 rounds of bullets, 10,000 grenades, and mines.
Five hundred, be sure to prepare them for me before departure." However, at this moment, before Li Qiang could react, Chen Kang suddenly took out a weapons approval slip with the seal of the General Political Department printed on it from his arms, smiling.
The land was placed in Li Qiang's hands.
"Oh my God, Chen Laizi, how did you get this batch of documents?!" Li Qiang quickly took the weapons batch of documents and looked at the red seal stamped on it, his face full of confusion.
This is a serious arms approval document from the General Political Department, which is officially valid. With this approval document, you can go to the Supply Department or the arsenal to receive the corresponding number of weapons and ammunition.
Li Qiang never expected that Chen Kang would give him such a big 'surprise' before he took office.
