Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Today, Li Chenglin is no longer satisfied with just playing the defensive villain, as that is too boring.

Holding a gun, you can only stay in one place, and your attention needs to be highly concentrated.

Otherwise you get shot without even knowing what’s going on.

It's better to attack, after all, I'm free, I really don't want to attack by surprise, just go in through the main gate. Even if it doesn't succeed, at least it's fun, right?

The members of the special operations team have basically been determined, which are Li Chenglin, Tian Xiwa and the other three, as well as a direct subordinate of Li Chenglin.

The defensive team was led by Wu Wentao, who had experienced many "sacrifices" and was unable to do so.

I have experienced all kinds of deaths and am very familiar with the situation in the entire transformation workshop.

Li Chenglin and his five men dealt with the twenty people led by Wu Wentao, which made Uncle Nie, who saw such a scene for the first time, very curious.

"If we had this kind of weapon back then, we would have been beaten to death long ago."

“This weapon, without logistical support, is just a firewood stick and consumes a lot of ammunition.

With just a few dozen of them, the amount of ammunition consumed is huge. If we want to supply the entire country’s army, we need several large arsenals.”

Uncle Nie nodded, that period was indeed difficult at the beginning.

"This drill of yours is quite novel. Do you have any explanation?"

“I don’t have much to say, I just think the car factory is a confidential unit.

If enemy agents come in to sabotage us someday, we will have a way to deal with them."

"You are just not honest. Well, I have seen the drill, and the gun is really good.

The consumption of ammunition is indeed huge. Let me give you the drawings and I will hand them over to my superiors.

This gun does not seem to be suitable for large-scale equipment at present.

But for some reasons, I think small-scale equipment is still okay."

Before leaving, Uncle Nie took away the drawings of two Type 71 rifles and also instructed Chen Changan.

"Don't forget to communicate with the slicer first. I don't think it will be a big problem."

In the afternoon, Chen Changan had no time to talk to Zhang Mancang because the table tennis competition at the automobile factory was in progress.

Chen Changan received a call from Uncle Nie, and his superior agreed with Uncle Nie's suggestion.

Let Zhang Mancang go to the national team for training first, as it is already time to get off work.

After dinner in the evening, Chen Changan and Zhu Ling were taking a walk and saw Zhang Mancang who was still practicing alone.

"How do you feel about taking first place in the factory?"

"I still want to thank you for teaching me table tennis and how to practice coordination.

I didn’t expect that I could get first place in the whole factory.”

"There's one more thing I want to tell you. Uncle Nie came to the factory today and saw you playing table tennis.

I really like your playing style and I want you to try out for the national team.

I think this is a very good opportunity for you.

There's nothing wrong with giving it a try. If you succeed, you can stay in the national team and represent the country in future matches and compete for honors.

If that doesn't work, I'll come back and continue to be your worker. Are you interested?"

This time Zhang Mancang was excited. In his opinion, he had Chen Changan's guidance.

There's nothing to brag about in beating these amateurs in the factory.

But the national team is where the level of table tennis is the highest in the country.

It would be nice to be able to try out for the national team, even if it's just to broaden my horizons.

"Really? I can also join the national team and see the world?"

"Of course. The notice has been sent to the factory, but I didn't tell you because I didn't want to affect your competition this afternoon.

Thinking you would come here again in the evening, I came here specially to tell you.

Go to the factory tomorrow morning to get a letter of introduction, and then you can report to the national team with the letter of introduction."

"Director Chen, thank you. Without you, I would still be that uncoordinated fool who doesn't understand table tennis.

It was you who gave me the opportunity, and I, Zhang Mancang, will never forget your help in my life."

"Okay, why are you saying all this? I'm just watching you train alone and helping you out.

In the final analysis, it is up to you to put in the effort, and if you work hard, there will be rewards.

Once you join the national team, you must train hard and strive to stay in the national team. Don’t bring shame to our automobile factory, and win glory for the country in the future.”

Zhang Mancang wiped away his tears. Even if Zhu Ling was Director Chen’s lover, she was still a lesbian.

It's somewhat embarrassing to cry in front of lesbians.

However, facing Chen Changan, Zhang Mancang still nodded heavily.

On the way home, Zhu Ling asked curiously.

"There are many people in our country who like to play table tennis. How could the national team be so short of players?

Even Zhang Mancang, who had only trained for a few months, was able to join the national team. Is it because the national team is not good enough, or is Zhang Mancang really a genius?

You know, many of us dancers have started practicing since childhood.

Even so, it is extremely difficult to join the art troupe, let alone the national team. "

“You can see it, so you think the leaders above you can’t see it.

I can only say that Zhang Mancang is lucky. The national team will have a political task in a while.

Zhang Mancang's approach is more in line with our doctrine of the mean.

It is impossible to say that Zhang Mancang has no talent, but to say that his level is good enough to enter the national team is underestimating the national team.

It's just that because of a special event, there happened to be an athlete with a playing style like his.

In addition, Zhang Mancang himself has some talent, so let him go to the national team to practice first.

Whether he can stay in the national team in the end and whether he will be used will depend on the subsequent situation.

Whether he can seize this opportunity in the end depends on Zhang Mancang's own efforts and luck."

Zhu Ling didn’t know anything about Ping-Pong Diplomacy and just nodded as if she understood.

After such a long period of contact, Zhu Ling has become familiar with Zhang Mancang.

She couldn't help Zhang Mancang in any way and could only wish him good luck.

The time came to April 1971.

Chen Changan sat in his office, reading the newspaper.

Seeing the title "Warmly welcome the US table tennis delegation to visit China", Chen Changan also smiled.

Zhang Mancang is still in the national team, which means there is a great probability that he will play.

Zhang Mancang’s success is the success of the automobile factory and Chen Changan.

In the following days, people all over the country were discussing this matter enthusiastically.

As Zhang Mancang's mentor and former leader, Chen Changan was also invited to the friendly match.

At the scene, we watched Zhang Mancang confidently fight back and forth with the American players.

A sharp counterattack from time to time can draw exclamations from the audience.

Uncle Nie, who was sitting next to Chen Changan, was smiling happily.

"How is it? I have good taste, right? I took a liking to Zhang Mancang at first sight.

Look, this works really well. It doesn't make the other party feel that we are being aggressive.

And with occasional counterattacks, we will not be underestimated by the other side.

Zhang Mancang was born for table tennis."
