With Vice Chairman Li's proposal, the military main combat equipment upgrade plan submitted by Mr. Liu was approved consistently after being discussed at the Military Commission.

Although this five-year comprehensive improvement plan for main combat equipment will increase the expenditure by tens of billions of yuan each year, from the perspective of the transformation goals, the main combat equipment will be fully close to the world level except for fighter jets.

This is undoubtedly a grand goal, but judging from the existing materials provided by Mr. Liu, both the materials, processing technology, and software systems have already had a good foundation and breakthrough. The feasibility of this plan is very high in everyone's opinion.

After passing the discussion of the Military Commission meeting, Mr. Liu personally reported to the Chief No. 1 with the report, he was recognized by the Chief No. 1, and the matter was taken to the Standing Committee for decision.

At this point, it is actually a formality. The military is a united person and the draft involving the military has been recognized by No. 1, which is really not something that ordinary members of the Standing Committee can easily shake. Apart from complaining about funding, the necessity and feasibility are not something that these laymen can argue with.

As for the funding issue, no matter how hard it is, it cannot be hard for national defense. The investment of hundreds of billions of yuan is really not much for the current domestic budget of tens of trillions. Compared with the military's proposal that the main combat equipment after transformation can fully compete with the grand goal of most main combat equipment in the world. This expenditure is really insignificant. Everyone can save it by eating less and drinking less.

Under this premise, although the two great elders who were in their hearts had the pain of slapping their teeth and swallowing blood, they could only vote to agree and passed this upgrade plan. On this principled issue, even as the great elders, they dared not fight against the same number. Everyone knows that this person has just taken office for a short time and has been in power for a long time.

After the upgrade plan was settled, the military naturally launched a secret bid for new special steels. Faced with the performance parameters of new special steels proposed by the military, except for Xincheng Special Steel, a subsidiary of Dushi Heavy Industry, other steel companies in China can only cover the surface and leave. The quality of steel bars used for building a house can be discounted. Anyway, there is a doubled design margin, and there will generally be no problems.

But how many tests do military things have to go through. If you can, it is OK, it is not OK. There is too little chance of getting through the test. Moreover, there are very severe punishment measures, so this super big order fell into the hands of Xincheng Special Steel without any suspense.

Faced with such a huge order suddenly, the scale of the existing Xincheng Special Steel is far from meeting. After the expansion of production capacity was put forward naturally, the National Development and Reform Commission did not dare to do anything rashly this time, and obediently completed the approval of Xincheng Special Steel's merger and steel for the southwest. Relevant departments must also coordinate and support the upgrade and transformation of Xincheng Special Steel to the southwest.

For Cai Siqiang, who had been cowardly before, he was very proud. He got the loan, land resource application, etc. very smoothly. The first one-million-ton special steel production and renovation project is expected to be completed within 3 months with sufficient financial support.

For the overlords of the steel industry, everyone's glasses were shattered, and no one expected this battle. The end result was that Du's Heavy Industry could actually mobilize the military to use the off-market move of upgrading its main combat equipment. This shows that Du's Heavy Industry's resources in the military are really extraordinary.

In connection with some legends in the world, the background of Du's Heavy Industry and SAL has become something that the industry talks about. It can be foreseen that with the birth of a large number of military orders, a new steel giant will be born. For small and medium-sized ordinary steel companies, this has little to do with them, and there is no intersection between each other's products.

But for several major steel giants, this rapidly growing Xincheng Special Steel is their crux of their hearts. The most profitable piece of cake in the steel industry will now be cut off by someone.

However, now this is a strategic support enterprise decided by Chief No. 1. Anyone who dares to interfere with its development can vaguely see the general trend of the rise and fall of the steel industry in advance. Now, Cai Siqiang's olive branch is basically just a matter of invitation. Compared with the difficulty of forming senior executive teams in other industries, there are too many talents in the steel industry in China.

So after completing the acquisition procedures, Cai Siqiang took advantage of the opportunity of major transformation and completed the replacement of the Southwest's new management team.

It turned out that the business team reached by the Southwest was more like a political institution, and most of the executives had an average business ability. Fortunately, Cai Siqiang had a good relationship with the local political institution. It turned out that those executives used political channels to re-digrate. Correspondingly, on the workers, Cai Siqiang promised to accept and resettle them all. Since the news was very early, a major personnel transformation did not cause any fluctuations in the hearts of the workers in the factory.

Although the new Southwest Special Steel Company does not use so many workers, the degree of automation of the new production line is a world of difference compared to before, Cai Siqiang has opened a number of affiliated steel components deep processing plants, which not only completely digests the excess workers in steelmaking production, but also creates many new jobs, solving a lot of surplus labor for the local government where the Southwest reaches its location.

With Du's leading technical capabilities and strong financial strength, Cai Siqiang seems to be at ease in solving these problems. This method of doing things that does not push burdens to local governments but instead creates new opportunities for local governments has even praised local governments.

It is precisely because of this good reputation that SAL and Dushi Heavy Industry have always been sought after and cooperated well by local governments in acquisition activities in various places.

Seeing that the Southwest reached a acquisition case, the local government of Oriental Dynamics, which had some ideas about shares, could not sit still. The local mayor came to discuss cooperation with Cai Siqiang. This time, the local government only required 30% of the shares to retain. This latest concession made Cai Siqiang quickly settle the acquisition of the new company.

Although Duke's nuclear power development is still at the level of a joint venture with the Superman family, after taking over Oriental Power, Cai Siqiang injected enough resources into Oriental Power according to Duke's nuclear power development plan and made every effort to develop the research and development of three types of steam turbines, 300mw, 600mw and 1000mw.

With world-class raw materials and processing technology support, coupled with the use of generous salary to attract and recruit top R&D talents, problems such as raw materials, technology, talents, and funds that hinder Oriental Power's progress were solved all of a sudden, and large-scale steam turbine research and development have entered the fast lane.

This unexpected gain, coupled with the investment in Qiyang Xingchen Automobile Co., Ltd., which aims to build high-end cars, made Cai Siqiang very busy for a while.
