Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2443: Participating in the Olympics
The bugle calls stopped.

But more trumpets sounded around.

Mr. Peng stood in the crowd, listening to the sound of military bugles, two tears streaming down his old cheeks.

A hand handed over a cigarette, and Mr. Peng took it.

Uncle took out a lighter and they both lit up.

Just like that, standing quietly, with smoke rising, I vaguely returned to the era of gunfire and smoke.

After the ceremony, rows of coffins were carried to the Martyrs' Cemetery surrounded by the crowd.

Yang Xiaotao was originally going to go with them, but was stopped by President Peng.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao could only ask Li Qing to help look after the child while he walked to the front of the team alone.

"Mr. Peng."

"Uncle!"

Yang Xiaotao came over and saw the two of them talking.

There were many people around him whispering.

"Xiao Tao is here."

Mr. Peng nodded and uncle stretched out his hand.

The people around looked at Yang Xiaotao, and many of them had gratitude in their eyes. They understood a little about the situation.

It is also clear why we are welcoming the remains this time.

It is even more clear that the white colt guarding the blue sky is his masterpiece.

Yang Xiaotao nodded to Zhang Lao, Wang Minghai and others, then walked up to the two of them.

"Have you found them all?"

When his uncle asked, Yang Xiaotao shook his head.

A sigh from Mr. Peng was heard nearby.

"But I believe that in the future, they will come back."

Yang Xiaotao looked towards the east with a firm tone.

The uncle smoked hard, "I'll do this first."

"If I can't do it, you can do it again."

Yang Xiaotao nodded vigorously.

An agreement was reached between the two.

"Let's take a walk."

President Peng spoke first and walked towards the airport first.

Uncle followed closely behind, and Yang Xiaotao caught up.

He knew that he was not called here just for a walk, but must have something important to say.

Sure enough, after the three of them walked for a while, the uncle spoke first.

"I went to negotiate this time and learned some things."

The uncle's cigarette just went out. Yang Xiaotao took out the cigarette box and looked at Mr. Peng, who shook his head.

So, my uncle lit one alone.

"What surprised me most was that their country was developing very fast."

"In particular, the national government has delegated power and allowed private capital to develop on its own, which has brought very obvious results."

As his uncle spoke, Yang Xiaotao realized that the other party was beginning to rise under the power of capital.

Among them, the most representative is Samsung.

This thing started as a "small shop" and finally became an existence that Koreans cannot escape from in their lifetime.

The word "huge" cannot be perfectly described.

Manipulation of power is commonplace.

In fact, the phrase Yang Xiaotao saw most often on the Internet before he traveled through time was, "Trust the vision of the chaebols."

And now, this so-called chaebol is still in its infancy.

The electronics and semiconductors that made them famous are still in the exploratory stage.

Yang Xiaotao knew all this, but couldn't say it.

Because he has never been abroad.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was listening carefully, the uncle continued, "Now, their policies towards high-tech are very favorable. The government will even provide a large amount of funds and favorable policies to attract foreign capital."

"What I know is that they have an automobile industry."

"In addition, they are also pursuing the development of high technology, such as our calculators and integrated circuits."

When the uncle said this, Mr. Peng also looked at Yang Xiaotao.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao frowned slightly.

Seeing this, both of them remained silent.

Yang Xiaotao vaguely understood what the two meant.

But I am also a little unsure. After all, in the current situation, if we want to use capital's methods, what's the difference between this and changing the team in 49?

Then, Yang Xiaotao asked tentatively, "Boss Peng, uncle, do you want us to develop the automobile and electronics industries?"

Mr. Peng nodded, "Yes."

Then he stopped talking.

Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to look at his uncle.

“Our advice is to plan ahead.”

"We should also pay attention to what other countries pay attention to."

"You can't miss opportunities because of prejudice. You should have made a calculator by now, which means you have taken the first step in this field."

"So, you want to help us?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled with delight, as all nine of them were doing the research on the calculator and integrated circuits on their own.

But they didn't give a penny.

Thanks to the current situation, if we want to concentrate the power of the nine departments to do one thing in another twenty years, it will definitely be more difficult than it is now.

Upon hearing this, Uncle and Mr. Peng gave a bitter smile.

The only support they can provide is spiritual support.

"You have to do this yourself."

Mr. Peng said the second sentence.

"Boss Peng, you still have 297 million."

Yang Xiaotao reminded kindly.

If he had money, would he have to team up with others to "fool" Hassan?

Is it still necessary to go through so much trouble?
Even more than half can be left to improve several other research projects.

even
Yang Xiaotao thought divergently, thinking that with sufficient funds, he could wield a big stick to poach people everywhere and take off directly with the nine departments.

But Mr. Peng gave him a blow.

“The money is gone.”

Cough
Yang Xiaotao choked, "No? No more?"

"It's been less than a month."

“This flower is gone too fast.”

There was disbelief in Yang Xiaotao's eyes.

Mr. Peng was too lazy to explain, "The money is spent wisely, don't worry."

The uncle finished another cigarette and was winking at Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao took out two cigarettes, one for each of him and his uncle.

The three of them were silent.

"Our research is very intense."

After a long time, Yang Xiaotao spoke again. Mr. Peng looked up at the sky and pretended not to hear him.

"Of course, we can overcome it."

Yang Xiaotao added, and President Peng lowered his head slightly.

"But for various researches, it is a bottomless pit. No matter how rich our nine departments are, we dare not say that we can fill it up."

Uncle nodded, "So? What do you want?"

Yang Xiaotao blew out a puff of smoke on the ground, "I don't want much, that's it."

"Can you give us an extra 10% of the money we earn?"

"impossible!"

This time, Mr. Peng didn't need to say anything, my uncle just refused directly.

Of course, unlike Mr. Peng, he did not explain anything, but analyzed the current situation to Yang Xiaotao.

"You nine departments have a lot of things and earn a lot of foreign exchange."

"The foreign exchange earned from previously exported small commodities, such as rice cookers and air conditioners, was invested in steel construction."

"For your medical sector, part of this money will be kept as a reserve fund, and the other part will be used to start building a sound medical industry."

"Then there are your military products, especially armored vehicles. The money is used to pay for previous military expenses and plug holes."

"Finally, this time the calculator is used to build the southwest region."

"So, not a single cent of the money can be embezzled."

After his uncle finished explaining, Yang Xiaotao was helpless and could only nod and say, "Then, we don't want these funds."

"But, can you keep all the money we earn later?" Yang Xiaotao said pitifully, "You two also know that a solar cell costs tens of thousands of dollars, and no one buys it, and it can't be sold."

"Now we are burning money on research, but we cannot stop doing research."

"And computers, which are another bottomless pit."

"We developed the White Colt fighter jet, including the Blue Colt fighter jet, and they still owe us money."

"We can't let our comrades work on an empty stomach."

Yang Xiaotao felt very aggrieved. After hearing this, President Peng looked at his uncle with smiles in his eyes.

They all knew Yang Xiaotao very well.

They don't know what abilities this kid has, but he definitely has some.

Without making any noise, the Ninth Division created a series of huge landmines, which shocked them greatly.

Now they say that all future earnings will be left to the Ninth Department. This is clearly a deliberate plan.

President Peng even recalled the previous battles when those guys who also had "little thoughts" kept saying that they were dying of poverty and could not afford to eat.

But if you dare to challenge them to keep the spoils for themselves, it won't be long before they are all eating canned food and drinking sips of wine. The only thing they lack is a woman to live a comfortable life.

So, all that Yang Xiaotao said before was ultimately for the sake of this last sentence.

The two looked at each other and saw through Yang Xiaotao's thoughts.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Yang Xiaotao became anxious, and at the same time, he felt that he was being too hasty.

Should be more tactful.

Just when Yang Xiaotao was thinking about how to explain, his uncle and Mr. Peng had already communicated. His uncle held out three fingers, Mr. Peng shook his head, then thought for a moment and held out five fingers.

The uncle thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

So, when Yang Xiaotao was about to speak, his uncle smiled and said, "Don't embarrass yourself in front of Lao Peng with your little thoughts."

"Many people who were clever in the past ended up feeding horses. You, don't want to learn from others."

Yang Xiaotao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

But what his uncle said helped him out. Didn’t you see that Mr. Peng didn’t say anything?

"But what you said makes some sense."

"If you are asked to do research and development, you must invest."

When Yang Xiaotao heard this, he thought, "But" is a good use of the word.

Indicates a turning point.

"Uncle is right, we are really walking on thin ice."

"You don't know how much money is invested in the Chemical Research Institute. Buying materials, building laboratories, and each experiment consumes a lot of resources. All of this costs money."

"If you don't get results after investing, then it's all in vain."

"Maybe our entire Nine Departments will be out of business."

Speaking of this, Yang Xiaotao looked worried.

The two didn't know whether Yang Xiaotao was really worried or just pretending, but they knew about the research institute.

And there is more than one such research institute.

"I've discussed this with Lao Peng, and I can only give you 50%."

“And it’s 50% of the results of subsequent R&D projects.”

"You got it."

"Understand!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately, "I understand, that is, the money earned in the past does not count, from now on, leave half for us!"

The uncle nodded, and Mr. Peng on the side suddenly felt that this boy agreed too quickly.

Could it be that there is something good coming out?
The same thought also appeared in the uncle's mind, but neither of them said it out loud.

If you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass.

What's more, the Ninth Ministry is also a part of the revolutionary construction. They can't let the Ninth Ministry always support the other ministries.

They just thought that those old guys probably didn't have the nerve to keep asking for it.

The three of them reached a consensus that Uncle and Mr. Peng would report this matter to their superiors. As for the reason, it was to let the Ninth Department take the lead in developing high-tech.

In other words, this placed a heavy burden on the nine departments without them having to invest a penny.

From this perspective, there is no reason to reject the above.

Then Yang Xiaotao talked about the recent work of the nine departments.

Especially when talking about the research on the Desert Eagle, he specifically mentioned the difficulties encountered.

The two didn't know much about these things, but they also understood that different environments would require different equipment.

The difficulties Yang Xiaotao described should not be false.

What they don't know is that Yang Xiaotao's biggest difficulty is how to 'fool' Hassan.

And at the moment, it seems that this deception is very successful.

As long as we add a little more fuel, we will probably succeed.

After Yang Xiaotao finished his work report, he asked about Mr. Chen's situation.

It has been almost a month since I left the Alliance, and I don’t know when I will be back.

"Old Chen, he should be back soon."

The uncle smiled and said, "He really earned face this time."

Mr. Peng beside him was also laughing, "Yeah, this old Chen has become quite famous."

Yang Xiaotao showed curiosity, and his uncle then spoke and told him about the situation on Mr. Chen's side.

"You mean, the alliance proposed that we participate in the Mexico City Olympics?"

Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth wide and exclaimed in his heart, "The flapping of these wings is so, so big."

As far as I can remember, for some reason, our country has always refused to participate in the Olympic Games.

Then it was a long wait until the first person to win a gold medal appeared in the book.

It was then that Yang Xiaotao knew what the Olympic Games were.

But what is the situation now?
"Just a suggestion?"

Yang Xiaotao asked in a low voice.

If it's just a suggestion, it makes sense.

After all, a proposal is not the final result.

But as soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, President Peng smiled, "This time is different."

Yang Xiaotao was curious.

President Peng explained, "This time it's different. When the alliance made the proposal, the member countries immediately cheered and it was very loud."

"And, most unexpectedly."

Mr. Peng paused for a moment, and the smile on his face became even brighter. "The United States, which had always refused, did not jump out to refuse this time."

"What? The United States? No words?"

Yang Xiaotao was really shocked this time.

Damn, is this still the world policeman and troublemaker?
Yang Xiaotao didn't think it would be the same as before. If he could bear it, he would have agreed to participate long ago.

But now, looking at the expressions of Uncle and Mr. Peng, I know that this matter is definitely different from before.

In other words, the United States is going to abandon its leaders?

No, it shouldn’t be abandonment, just neglect.

No, not really. It should be about retreating in order to advance.

Yes, that's for sure.

Lanju puts a lot of pressure on them and they need time to prepare.

Yang Xiaotao immediately understood, then looked up and found that his uncle and Mr. Peng were looking at him with smiles on their faces.

"Do you understand?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I figured it out. We have become stronger, so we are surrounded by friends."

Mr. Peng nodded, "That's right."

"The best iron is the one that is strongest itself."

"Before we had Baiju, we saw that the little black bird came here often, and the tanks from the north also often drove over to take a look."

"But what now?"

"White Colt, go out and take down the little black bird."

"The blue colt even flew over their heads."

"And our mushroom eggs and our missiles, these are hard power."

"Aren't they afraid?"

Mr. Peng held his head high and chest puffed out, and Yang Xiaotao nodded vigorously.

This guy, when there were no planes or tanks, led his men to pick eighteen gangs.

Nowadays, although there are not many planes, they are definitely better than before.

If a real fight breaks out, even eighteen gangs will be of no use.

"So, it's real this time?"

Yang Xiaotao spoke again, and his uncle nodded slightly, "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be settled in a while."

"After all, the other party convened in October, and it's only been more than three months now."

"I still have to sign up for the project, so I need to prepare as soon as possible."

Hearing his uncle's words, Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands and said, "That's great. I'll have someone select some candidates to see if there are any good ones. Then we can win a gold medal and bring glory to our country."

At the same time, I was thinking that I would talk to President He later.
