At around nine o'clock in the morning, the train that Liu Lang and Sun Hu took arrived in the capital, and Shao Mingtao and Du Huaiyi personally greeted them. Du Huaiyi would not have any worries in the capital, and no one would know him.
"Brother Du, how is this matter?"
Liu Lang couldn't wait to ask about the situation in the Soviet Union.
"Mr. Liu, the Soviet Union is indeed very chaotic now. The government's control over the country has dropped to its lowest point. Many big chaebols are competing for their own interests. Local gangs are also rampant. They have monopolized some of the only supplies. Then
Selling at a high price to make huge profits, the most suffering
It’s the common people. The rubles in their hands continue to depreciate. On the contrary, prices have risen sharply and their original income has shrunk greatly. But even so, a large amount of materials cannot reach them. Many people can only make ends meet. There is no superpower at all.
Looks like this!"
Du Huaiyi saw the true side of the Soviet Union, and what he saw and heard shocked him. This is the second superpower in the world! Now it has fallen to this point. After seeing this, he has begun to believe that Liu Lang's words are possible
It has become a fact.
"It's pretty much what I thought, Brother Du, how's the matter we discussed going?"
There was no expression on Liu Lang's face. He knew the tragedy of the Soviet Union at this time better than anyone else. Of course, he read it from books that later described this period of history. It was not as intuitive as Du Huaiyi's, but it had something to do with him.
?The disintegration of the Soviet Union is inevitable, and he only wants to gain benefits from it.
"I contacted a local gang through an intermediary. These people are local gangsters. Many of them were originally workers and have now "changed careers." This gang is engaged in smuggling and even sold a few aircraft engines. I
Thought they might be helpful to you!”
"Aircraft engine? What type of aircraft?"
Liu Lang became interested upon hearing this.
"They said it was MiG-17 and MiG-19."
As an expert, Du Huaiyi also knows a lot about fighter engine models.
"That's too backward. Our country doesn't need it. So it seems like they're doing plane smuggling?"
Liu Lang was thoughtful.
"Yes, these people are all employees of a well-known Red Star aircraft manufacturing factory. This factory is very large, with more than 5,000 front-line workers alone. It was once prominent, but it has declined over the years, and many aircraft have become
The scraps are still in the warehouse casually. These people make a living by selling some military products, but many of the products are outdated. Of course, they also have their own circles. Again, as long as the money is available, they will find a way!
"
"Okay, then I'll go meet them!"
Liu Lang made a decision in his heart.
"Mr. Liu, let's take a long-term view on going to the Soviet Union. I got an order from the vice-general. He said that Vice-Premier Bai wants to see you."
Shao Mingtao on the side suddenly spoke.
"Vice Premier Bai wants to see me? Oh, are you not letting me go to the Soviet Union?"
Liu Lang reacted immediately. This was a good reasoning. If Bai Weiren wanted to see him, Shao Mingtao had already told him on the phone. There was no need to wait for him to come to the capital to talk about it. Obviously Bai Weiren was
I want to persuade Liu Lang not to take risks.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is really smart. He guessed it right away. I couldn't help myself. Please forgive me, Mr. Liu!"
"It's okay. People with high official positions are very powerful, so I have to obey him honestly. I will explain to Vice Premier Bai that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you will have no chance."
The news of Liu Lang's arrival in the capital quickly reached the ears of Bai Weiren, a high-ranking official. Bai Weiren was busy with everything, but he still took time out at noon to let Liu Lang come over. In addition, Du Huaiyi also benefited from the opportunity and met this real high-level national official.
As one of the top figures in the country, Bai Weiren held huge power, but in Liu Lang's view, he was just an old man over sixty years old with half-white hair.
The country is in dire straits and everything is new. The good side of the reform is that the country is prosperous and the people are well-being, but behind it is breaking the rules. If we want this poor country with a population of more than one billion to embark on the road to prosperity, one of the
The difficulty is not something ordinary people can know and understand.
It is difficult to conquer a country, but it is even harder to sit in a country. Therefore, people of this generation like Bai Weiren are walking on thin ice and are cautious at every step.
Liu Lang also knew a lot about Bai Weiren through various channels. He was very capable, but he liked to lose his temper. He would reprimand those cadres who did not do well on the spot without caring about the other party's face, so he also offended many people.
Fortunately, Mr. Deng has strong support behind the scenes, and today’s era also needs strong men like him.
Of course, these all show that he is a person with a strong sense of responsibility, otherwise he would not be valued by Mr. Deng.
At this time, Bai Weiren was dressed in casual clothes, sitting casually in his home. Sitting next to him was an old man who looked to be several years older than him, but Liu Lang didn't recognize him.
The two of them were sitting in front of a small table with an untouched lunch on it.
Lunch is very simple, with four dishes and one soup, stir-fried bamboo shoots with bacon, fried tofu, steamed sea bass, dried plums and tomato and egg drop soup. They are all dishes that can be found everywhere.
Liu Lang and Du Huaiyi walked in under the leadership of their secretary. Bai Weiren smiled immediately when he saw them.
"Come on, come on, the food has just been set. Sit down and let's chat while we eat!"
Bai Weiren greeted the two of them.
Liu Lang was not polite and sat opposite Bai Weiren, but Du Huaiyi was a little reserved. After all, this was the real high-level official of the country, and he would inevitably be nervous when he had seen so much.
"You are Xiao Du, right? I have heard of your name a long time ago. You are a descendant of Mr. Du. Mr. Du made great contributions to the country and is a role model for us younger generations. I can see him.
It’s my honor to be the descendant of you! Come on, you’re welcome, sit down quickly!”
"Thank you, Prime Minister Bai!"
Du Huaiyi hurriedly sat down.
"I am here to invite you personally, so there is no Prime Minister here. I am your elder. You can call me Lao Bai, or you can call me Uncle Bai. However, you cannot call me Prime Minister. When I hear this title, my head gets big.
Do you know?"
Bai Weiren has no airs and gives the impression that he is a kind old man.
"Haha, I'm sorry! You have so many things to do every day, and there are too many things that need to be solved by you. Being the Prime Minister is not a good job!"
The old man sitting next to Bai Weiren spoke.
Liu Lang and Du Huaiyi didn't know each other, but how could the person sitting here be an ordinary person, and Liu Lang could feel a military aura from this old man, which was somewhat similar to Sun Hu.
"Liu Lang, Xiao Du, let me introduce you two. This is General Sun Desheng. Xiao Du, he is your immediate boss!"
Bai Weiren introduced.
"It turns out to be General Sun!"
Du Huaiyi quickly stood up again. This man was the commander-in-chief of the army, a real powerful figure.
