A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 652 Facing the Battlefield Head-on! Victory is assured!

When the title of brigade commander was mentioned, Jiang Xia, who was getting into a rational state while looking at the blueprints, was shocked.

"Seriously? Why is he out here too? Wasn't he supposed to be recuperating?"

Jiang Xia squatted down and tugged at Secretary Liu.

"Is it strange? If someone were to vehemently refute the project I'm leading, I wouldn't be in a good mood either!"

"No way, they received the project suspension notice I just wrote so quickly? I haven't even thought of what to say yet!" Well, that wasn't entirely true. It's just that the wording was a bit "provocative," and Jiang Xia hadn't expected to speak with this person so soon. She hadn't even started thinking of a tactful, simple approach.

Secretary Liu smirked and pointed to the "Big Yellow Doppelganger" placed to the side.

Jiang Xia was frustrated, realizing for the first time that the rapid transmission of information was not always a good thing.

"No! You mean, he approved that Dongfeng 113 project?" Jiang Xia was shocked and only then realized what Secretary Liu had said.

"Not only that, there are others..."

"Oh! That's good. Are there any others? Then I can be a bit sharper with my words!" Hearing that there were quite a few scapegoats, Jiang Xiazhi smugly shook his head, and the little tuft of hair on his head stood up straight. "If I weren't worried about this person's health, I could have written even more!"

"Hehe, even sharper?" Secretary Liu gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you really are the bravest of the three armies! Want to hear who the other participants are?"

"Tell me! Watch as this young silver-spear warrior takes them all down from their horses!"

"Alright, listen carefully. The two marshals and two generals will personally preside over the meeting to review and approve the aircraft development plan, and finally submit it to the higher authorities for approval, and then..."

As Secretary Liu read out the names of the others one by one, Jiang Xia's mouth gaped wider and wider: This is really stirring up a hornet's nest!

Putting aside the person in front of him, the others alone would have been enough to give him trouble... not to mention that the person who signed the project agreement was actually the old man who helped him sell air fryers.

Jiang Xia, who hadn't paid much attention in history class, sighed to himself: I knew this project was definitely important, but it's rare to see it emphasized this much...

However, that's what makes it challenging!

This is what a "battlefield" should be!

I!

Jiang? Dai Mao? Xia!

I will win this "battlefield," a victory that belongs to me! No, I should say, a victory at a certain stage!

Full of fighting spirit, Jiang Xia was about to get up to answer the brigade commander's question, but unfortunately, he plopped right back down on the ground...

"Uh, it's not that I'm scared! My legs get weak after squatting for a long time, that's normal..." Jiang Xia's face turned a little red.

Secretary Liu didn't respond to him, pretending not to see him, and went straight to help Teacher Xiaopeng organize the blueprints in his suitcase. High emotional intelligence!

There are those with high emotional intelligence and those with low emotional intelligence. Old Wang grabbed Xiao Dai Mao and pulled him up, but before he could utter a teasing word, Jiang Xia blocked his mouth with a fist.

"Guess what, if I were to complain, would you stay with me on the antenna pole and wait to be dried out by the wind?"

After finishing with Old Wang's business, Jiang Xia straightened his clothes.

My own battlefield, here I come!

"Distinguished leaders, comrades. I am Jiang Xia from Hongxing Machinery Factory, and also the chief designer of a new type of computer, a new type of communication equipment, an experimental laser project, and a new type of..."

"Hereinafter, in the capacity of the above..., I hereby submit a request to postpone the Dongfeng 113 project!"

"Below is my question regarding this project and my suggestion to postpone the research. The explanation is rather long, so please take careful notes!"

Jiang Xia, being straightforward, got straight to the point: regardless of whether you support it or not, I'll just shove my arguments in your faces first!

Even if you are a brigade commander, you are no exception!

Little did they know, the brigade commander opposite them was even more straightforward. Think about it: to build the "Green-Eaves, Green-Tiered Tiger Building," he personally oversaw everything from site selection to assembling the teaching staff. Not to mention, just the fact that he, despite his injured leg, climbed the scaffolding layer by layer during an inspection to encourage the workers and check the construction quality so as not to delay their work, inspired them. Under his guidance, the 100,000-square-meter campus was completed in just seven months. The students of the "Green-Eaves, Green-Tiered Tiger Building" should definitely kowtow to him.

The campus was built, but it needed teachers! So this little old man went to great lengths to transfer people from universities all over the country. Our gentle old man was once cornered in the restroom by him to sign a transfer list. Ah, only he could pull off something like this…

Come on, students of the "Green-tiled Tiger Building" should kowtow to this person again.

That wasn't all. Since the teachers were coming, he figured he had to ensure they received the appropriate treatment. So, he lived in a small bungalow himself, while arranging for the teachers to live in the best building available at the time. He even built a special dining hall for them, staffed entirely by top chefs from Northeast China. Not only did he provide accommodation, but he also took care of everything else, including family employment and children's education.

Authentic, right? Absolutely authentic! Jiangxia learned some of the measures he took for the machinery factory from this guy.

Of course, these measures have also drawn criticism from some retired cadres, who said, "We crawled out of piles of corpses, while they are just comfortably going to school. Why are they being treated so well?"

"Hmph! Others have science and knowledge, what do you have? We called you here to carry forward traditions! To set an example! Want to compete for preferential treatment? You've come to the wrong place! The 'bitterness-remembering-sweetness-appreciating-sweetness' meal starts today, I'll lead the way! Anyone who disagrees? Go ahead and report me to the higher-ups!"

Sue you?

Who the hell would dare? Chun Chun is going to get nowhere! Your legs are famously fast…

Come on, let the teachers and students of the "Green-Eaves, Green-Tired Tiger Building" kowtow to someone else again.

Therefore, the brigade commander greatly appreciated Jiang Xia's outspokenness.

"Great, great... Knowledgeable and capable, but how come this promising talent came from Wudaokou? The recruitment efforts of the 'Green-tiled, Tiger Building' are still not strong enough!"

"Hmm? Actual needs? Everything should be based on actual needs? You should remember that..."

The brigade commander listened with a smile to Jiang Xia's impassioned speech over the microphone, nodding and shaking his head from time to time. When he heard something interesting, he even went against his doctor's advice not to write and opened his notebook to start writing furiously.

Finally, he beckoned to his wife: "Go tell Old Wang at the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications that we could expand this conference room a bit more..."

"how?"

"There are some things this kid is saying that I don't understand! But they seem pretty useful. I need to find some people to advise him!"

The brigade commander continued to smile, not putting on a show of bravado at all.

"By the way, those people who signed the agreement with me, please come and listen too! The world is changing so fast, we have to keep up with the times!"

"The others are easy to handle, but which one?"

The brigade commander paused, then struggled to his feet, leaning on a chair: "I'll go talk to them myself! If they don't agree, I'll go to the restroom and ambush them! You come here and write down this young man's statement; I'll want to see it when I get back!"

"Alright! This kid's master's wife has been talking about his deeds to me all this time, so let me hear his insightful opinions for myself!"

The woman pursed her lips, then sat down with great interest.

He watched with a worried look as the brigade commander slowly walked out of the office before turning back to pick up his pen and begin taking notes.

……

Another battlefield.

"Sir! The Haiying has sent a light signal, warning us not to approach! It also requests that we be on high alert, as there may be a Bald Eagle submarine underwater!"

"Oh, so the Bald Eagles are using our siege to attack our school?" the naval captain sneered. "Luckily, we brought all our gear! Captain, it's up to you now!"

"Yes!"

"Level One Combat Alert! Anti-submarine Combat Configuration! All personnel in position! This is not a drill! Repeat, this is not a drill!"

"Commander! Haiying's light signal! Sonar contact! Bearing green 150! Distance... Preliminary assessment 3000 yards! Contact clear! Crisp metallic echo, characteristics... identified as a submarine! Repeat, identified as submarine contact!"

"Great! Before the New Year is over, let's make some dumplings for them!"
