Xia Zhongyuan, deputy director of the General Staff Department, was sleeping in a daze. He heard the sound of getting up in bed. He subconsciously lifted the sheet, sat up from the bed, reached out and grabbed the military uniform and armed belt.

Bang!

The electric light above his head was lit, and Secretary Xiao Zhao pressed the light switch with his hand: "Minister Xia, are you awake?"

Xia Zhongyuan then realized that this was not a military investigation, but a suite in the New Town Hotel, the base area.

Xiao Zhao came over and helped him turn off the bedside sound timing switch.

Xia Zhongyuan was not busy getting up, so he sat on the head of the bed wearing a round-neck vest, picked up a green-shell panda cigarette from the bedside table next to him, shook it out and put it in his mouth. Xiao Zhao picked up a steel-shell lighter, fired it lighted it up next to him, and lit it for him. Then he shook it, making a crisp and bright sound, and casually placed a craft ashtray in his place to facilitate him to shake the ash.

Xia Zhongyuan sat cross-legged on the bed, took a deep breath, and a clear and elegant smoke entered the mouth, passed through his lungs, and then sprayed it out of his nose.

Xiao Zhao glanced at Panda Yan enviously, looked away, and stepped forward to help him fold the sheet.

Xincheng Hotel is the highest-end hotel in the base area and is also a designated external reception hotel. Except for the units that come to inspect in China, there are no other guests. Due to the large number of rooms, each of the General Staff delegation has a single room. The Xia Zhongyuan lived in a high-end business suite, with a master bedroom, a companion room, a reception room, a bathroom with a large bathtub, and each room has an independent bathroom.

Xiao Zhao lived in the next door room in order to facilitate his care at any time.

"What, if you want to smoke, take it yourself. Why are you polite to me?" Xia Zhongyuan smiled and pushed the cigarette box towards him, and said generously.

"No, no, I still like to smoke the big front door. I smoked the cigarette well, and I won't be able to smoke in the future, so I won't be in a hurry." Xiao Zhao shook his hand repeatedly.

"That's right! Then I won't harm you." Xia Zhongyuan thought about it, no longer insisted, leaned on the head of the bed, pillowed his hand on the back of his head, and raised his head to smoke a cigarette comfortably.

The Xincheng Hotel claims to be three-star level, but the interior decoration is quite luxurious, and all kinds of decorations are made of high-end wood. Just the lighting is the top main light, secondary light, wall light and other lighting equipment. If all lights up, it will be as bright as daytime even at night.

Other audio, projector, video recorder, microwave oven, electric stove, washing machine, dryer and other household appliances are available.

The audio that also works as a bedside table is not comparable to that of cheap hotels. From the booth, turntable, amplifier, balance, to speakers, they are all high-end electrical appliances that are exported. Moreover, they use the five-point one-channel surround sound invented by the base. Even if the sound effect is not as good as the concert hall scene, it is not far from that.

Then three meals a day, and the reception standard on paper is three yuan per person per day. In fact, there is no shortage of chicken, duck, fish, mountain and seafood. Occasionally, there are shark fins, abalone and other seafood purchased from Guangdong, and they are all made by chefs invited from the mainland, which is no less than the standard deviation of the state banquet.

In this era, even cadres cannot guarantee that there will be big fish and meat to eat every meal. In addition, strict management is the so-called corruption, which is just a pleasure to eat and a good idea. Judging by the standards of later generations, it is simply honest and cute.

During the past two months in the base area, all members of Xia Zhongyuan and other research teams have been welcomed by special personnel, and they go wherever they want. They are often taken to the mountain areas for hunting and sightseeing, and eat all kinds of delicacies and seafood. They live a very comfortable life, and it feels like they are going to heaven, which is quite enjoyable.

Even this steel shell lighter was bought from Hong Kong by the base and given to each member in the name of souvenirs. Such a precious thing was the people who did not smoke or lesbians in the group who accepted it and happily put it in their pockets.

However, although Liangyuan is good, it is not a hometown of long-term love.

The two-month investigation time had expired long ago. In order to stay for a few more days, they also called the General Staff and said that some terms had not been agreed upon, which was extended for another week.

But now there are no more excuses, and it is impossible not to go back.

Before leaving, Xia Zhongyuan enjoyed such a level of reception at the base. Thinking about the small number of orders, he blushed a little.

They came, originally planning to talk to Guan Fei about purchasing processors and introducing production lines.

However, in order to support economic development, domestic military expenditure was greatly compressed, which made the troops feel a little breathless. They wanted to support millions of troops and couldn't squeeze out a lot of money. It was said that they were buying a small amount and then introducing technology, but in fact they were just a one-time transaction. After buying the first batch, they would never be able to buy it again in the future.

Basically, I want to make a fortune by making a fortune and get a complete set of actuarial processors from the base, and then use them for domestic use.

Even in the first batch, the military was willing to pay one million, and it was impossible to get it if it was too much.

Compared with the attentive reception here, Xia Zhongyuan felt very embarrassed. He was smoking and his mind was also trying hard to see if he could find some point to help the base area, so it would be a waste of the hospitality.

But the military expenditure is only so much, there is a little more here and a little less there.

Seeing that many key projects have been stopped, they are nominally converted into theoretical research, and laying technical reserves for the future, but in fact they are preparing to end without success. The projects that are still underway are either at a critical moment when the results are almost achieved, or at a core national defense project that is so important that it cannot be cancelled, there is nowhere else to be moved.

When the funding was so tight that it was almost impossible to get out of the way, even if Xia Zhongyuan wanted to help, he could not find any loopholes to take advantage of.

"I am ashamed of others, I am ashamed of others!" Xia Zhongyuan smoked all his cigarettes, but he still couldn't think of a way out, so he could only murmur guilt and said to himself.

"Minister, this matter is not difficult!" Xiao Zhao helped him take the ironed military uniform from the closet, and interrupted after hearing this.

Xia Zhongyuan was in a dilemma? As his secretary, Xiao Zhao knew very well.

Sharing the chief's worries is the secretary's job. Besides, Xiao Zhao himself was a little sad and interrupted immediately.

"Oh? What's your idea?" Xia Zhongyuan's eyes lit up and he sat up and asked.

"Although we don't have money, we have channels!

Didn’t the rotorcraft we built in the base area want to help introduce the export through us? Anyway, we don’t have a rotorcraft, so it’s not a problem to help them sell it when selling it out, right? I think this rotorcraft is actually quite good and easy to operate. Although the protection is poor, it is still good as a cheap air transport vehicle and strike platform. The most important thing is that it is cheap!

In addition to military models, it can also be sold as civilian models.

Also, Commander Guan said that the Type 79 automatic rifle used in the base area can also be exported. When we are promoting it, if people are unwilling to buy our five or a half, can we recommend this weapon?

In addition, if we go through military spending, we will definitely not be able to buy too many processors. But can we also recommend them to various scientific research institutions and administrative departments? Aren’t they always complaining that they are blocked by Europe and the United States, unable to buy advanced processors, and buying a small amount is too expensive, which is too wasteful for foreign exchange. Is there a processor that can be purchased in RMB or developed by our brothers, which is safe and reliable. Why not purchase a large amount of them? This matter is solved by just helping Commander Guan and others say a good word at the corresponding procurement meeting?"

Xiao Zhao pointed at him a few ways.

"Okay, okay! You guys are smart! Just do that!" Xia Zhongyuan let out a long sigh, feeling that he had not eaten or drunk in vain, and he was somewhat helpful.

It's very uncomfortable to owe favors.

People say that great kindness becomes enemies, but the other party’s kindness is too great, so no matter how hard you try, you can’t repay it. In the end, you simply turn against your benefactor and simply don’t have to pay it back at all.

No matter whether Xiao Zhao's several ideas can work, at least he has a good idea, it doesn't matter whether he can succeed or not.

Thinking of this, the lurking in Xia Zhongyuan's heart disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.

"By the way, when I woke up in the morning, I received a thank-you call from the headquarters to the external reception. The tanks we contacted arrived. Commander Guan and Deputy Commander Sun personally went to pick up the car. After checking, they were very satisfied with the quality of the tanks." Xiao Zhao tidied up the bed, rushed to the bathroom, helped Xia Zhongyuan prepare hot water, facial towel, and toothpaste on the toothbrush, and said inside.

"It should be, it should be." Xia Zhongyuanzhi said with a smug smile.

In principle, this batch of tanks cannot be sold to the base. It was because he made a bridge from it that the top leaders let go. After all, the sixty-four tanks are worth tens of millions, which is not without a small amount of money for the current poor troops.

Moreover, the batch of equipment was snatched from the 59th Improvement Development Team of the Equipment Department. Because it was a modified test piece, each tank was carefully selected, and the parts were selected from the best, which was much better than the normal product. It was also pre-installed with a rifled gun of 105 mm, which had even more firepower.

Vehicle-mounted radio stations, fire control systems and other equipment used for command tanks are also the latest model, and electronic accessories can be said to have reached the highest level in China.

Two of them were equipped with laser rangefinders, and this time they were pulled over and gave them to the base without asking for a price increase.

This batch of attachments alone is worth at least several million.

Xia Zhongyuan was very proud of the surprise expression when Guan Fei and others saw the mass of these tanks.

I voted for papaya and rewarded it with a citron.

If you are kind to me, it is natural that I will give you a certain reward within the scope of my authority.

"Are you here to thank me? Is there anything else?" Xia Zhongyuan felt itchy, wanting to hear more grateful words from Xiao Zhao, and wanting to know how surprising they would react when they saw these provided equipment. He asked with a laugh while wearing shoes.

"I said it!" Xiao Zhao poked his head out of the bathroom and laughed, "The phone number was called by Commander Guan himself. He said he was very satisfied with the quality of these tanks and thanked Minister Xia very much. In addition, he said that the base area planned to improve these tanks, but the base area had no experience in such complex projects. He heard that the country was also engaged in research on this aspect, so if Minister Xia had time, he hoped that we could also send people to participate. It would be better for the group responsible for the 59th reform to send experts to attend the meeting to give them the opportunity to learn from us. In this way, we can stay here for more days."

He thought Minister Xia would be very satisfied, but he looked shocked when he saw him.

"We need to improve it? How to improve it? Are they not satisfied with this batch of tanks? Two of them are the latest domestically improved models, which are already the best improvement under the existing technical conditions. How do he want to change it? Do he still want to change Wujiu to the US m1a1? But Guan Fei never aimlessly. Since he said he still needs to improve it, it means that there is a plan, maybe..."
