Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

If he had not come here in person, he would not have discovered the existence of such a huge opportunity.

He was so excited that he finally realized that he was not rejected by the military, but was cleverly led into a military-industrial zone.

He was guessing all kinds of things in his mind.

Maybe all of this was secretly planned by the top military brass. On the surface, it was just an ordinary private enterprise, but in reality, it was a covert operation.

In other words, they will be transported to Babayang as civilian products on the surface, which can not only circumvent the sanctions from the United States, but also solve the problem of actual military equipment demand.

It can not only cleverly circumvent the **'s arms embargo policy, but also to some extent help Baba Yang gain an advantage in the struggle with Asan.

At this moment, the diplomat believed that he had understood everything his superiors were hinting at. After all, the meaning of the words was self-evident.

The ambassador was no fool, and he immediately understood the trick here - using the identity of a civilian product to cover up the identity of the ** factory. After realizing this, he no longer mentioned the word ** factory, but convinced himself that this was a company that produced civilian products and that he was here to purchase.

After completing this psychological preparation, he was extremely excited when he saw the fire trucks and modified crawler tractors in front of him. He was even more excited when he thought that with these high-quality weapons and equipment, Baba Yang would never be defeated by the Indian army again.

At this time, Su Chen was accompanying Babayang's diplomatic ambassador to visit the factory, while Li Shengtian came to Su Chen with several technical backbones who were developing super-large artificial rain bombs. Since the project started, Li Shengtian and his team have been working overtime almost every day to advance the research process.

Under the leadership of Li Shengtian, the other team members also had an extremely positive work attitude and worked overtime every day, which made the research on large-scale artificial rain bombs progress quite smoothly. The Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill had an adequate supply of raw materials, and with the help of the expert team from the Bear Country, the project development was able to advance rapidly.

Seeing Li Shengtian coming, Su Chen immediately motioned him to come over and asked, "How is the development of the artificial rainfall bomb going?" Li Shengtian said excitedly, "We have now completed the development of Type I artificial rainfall bomb and are ready to proceed to the next test." This is the first achievement developed by his team. Although the data has met the standards on paper and the theoretical design is considered reliable, Li Shengtian is still somewhat nervous before it has been tested in practice.

Recalling the generous reward Su Chen had given him recently, he became more determined to live up to the trust of the factory director Sha Chang, and decided to ensure the successful production of the super-large-caliber artificial rainfall bomb even under pressure.

After listening to Li Shengtian's report, Su Chen was very happy and patted him on the shoulder: "Now that everything is basically ready, where do you want to conduct the test?" Su Chen thought that there was not much open space left in the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, and it was obviously too small to test large-caliber artificial rain bombs. Therefore, he was ready to help coordinate a suitable location after Li Shengtian put forward specific requirements.

In response to this request, Li Shengtian replied without hesitation: "Director, we hope to borrow the same base used by the military for the test firing when you inspected the fire truck last time to conduct experiments."

Su Chen was a little embarrassed by such a request - that was a training ground for senior military officials, not a private place. Just as he was about to blame Li Shengtian for being audacious, the military representative next to him agreed very readily: "No problem, the military's test ground can be provided to you for use."

Su Chen looked at the representative with a little surprise. He didn't expect him to agree so readily. Although the product of this test was a large-scale artificial rainmaking device that looked like a civilian product, it was indeed much easier to get the support of the army. Moreover, considering that the test required a vast area of ​​land to prevent adverse consequences caused by sudden heavy rain after success, the military base was remote and open, which was indeed suitable for such experiments.

Therefore, when Li Shengtian mentioned that he needed a place to conduct experiments, this was the first place that came to Su Chen's mind. However, when he was still worrying about how to ask the military high-ranking officials, he found that the other party actually took the initiative to express their willingness to support.

Before the joy on Li Shengtian's face faded, he heard the military leader add: "Although the military base can provide you with an experimental site, I will supervise from the side."

Li Shengtian originally thought that the other party would make demands that were difficult to meet, but when he heard that the conditions were so simple, a stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

The diplomatic representative at the side showed great interest. Although he was not very proficient in Chinese, he was able to understand the conversation between the two.

The diplomatic representative was also curious about the content of the experiment planned by Li Shengtian. Since even the military leaders were interested in joining, he thought he should also participate, so he asked in a slightly stiff tone: "I also want to watch, is that okay?"

Although he can now understand Chinese, he is still some way from speaking fluently.

The two turned to look at Su Chen for an answer. After all, this was on Su Chen's territory and they needed his approval.

Su Chen seemed quite surprised that two important people suddenly made a request this time. Seeing their high interest, he nodded slightly and replied: "No problem, you can come and watch together."

At first, Li Shengtian was a little worried that if this secret research was exposed, it would cause trouble for Su Chen. But when he saw that he agreed without hesitation, the burden in his heart was also lightened.

The product they are developing is currently only in the prototype stage, and its specific performance still needs to be verified through actual testing. If the launch test is successful, mass production will be required in the future. Therefore, regardless of success or failure, he must make sufficient data records.

Upon learning that they could take part in the experiment, the top military officials were very excited and immediately ordered their assistants to prepare transportation.

Although the diplomatic representative had previously been interested in various civilian products made in China, after learning about the upcoming tests, he was even more excited about what he was about to witness.

As the vehicles arranged by the military top brass arrived, a group of people got on and headed towards their destination.

During the trip, Su Chen, military leaders and diplomatic representatives rode in the same car and talked quietly. Although both sides hoped to communicate more deeply, due to the sensitive issues of the international situation, in order to avoid offending the foreign envoys, they finally chose a milder topic to chat.

In another car, Li Shengtian and his team were nervous because it was their first time to enjoy such high-level treatment, and the entire car was almost silent. As things developed too suddenly, Li Shengtian only brought a few key team members to the military test base.

On the way to the test site, Li Shengtian still felt a little uneasy. He thought it would be very difficult to convince Su Chen, but he didn't expect everything to be solved so smoothly.

After finishing the conversation with Su Chen, Li Shengtian felt a little regretful when he noticed other leaders and an unfamiliar foreigner who arrived at the scene.

Li Shengtian was so excited after completing the trial product display that he did not notice that there was someone else next to Su Chen.

After saying this, he was worried that this move might have interfered with the original arrangement of the factory director. When thinking of this, Li Shengtian's forehead was covered with sweat.

Despite this, the situation is now in a dilemma and we have no choice but to move forward.

When Su Chen and other military leaders were planning to go to the military base, Li Shengtian quickly directed several colleagues to transport the super-large rain-making bombs to the military base.

He could only hurriedly tell his team members to start a truck parked behind the factory at the last moment before boarding the vehicle.

At first, Li Shengtian wanted to operate this important vehicle himself, but since he had to follow Su Chen and his team to the military base, he had to ask his team members to do it for him.

Li Shengtian had heard that Su Chen had come to this military base to conduct live ammunition firing tests when he was using fire grenades.

However, he had never set foot in any military area. As the convoy moved forward, they soon arrived at the entrance of the base.

The guards in charge of the protection mission, after confirming that the vehicle was accompanied by a military leader in person, did not conduct too much inspection of the vehicle and allowed it to pass.

Since the big shot they respected was in the car, they naturally thought there was no threat.

But for the second car that followed, especially the one that was not accompanied by senior military officials, Li Shengtian and others were required to get out of the car and undergo a comprehensive security check.

After ensuring that they did not carry any prohibited items, these civilian members were allowed to enter. For Li Shengtian and his colleagues, this was their first visit to such a strict military site, and everyone was very fresh.

Thinking of the scene where the factory director conducted the fire-fighting gun test here before, everyone couldn't help but sigh. Then, the accompanying staff led everyone to the shooting training area.

Due to frequent shooting exercises with various weapons, the ground here has been devastated by multiple impacts, just like a real combat environment.

Getting off the car, everyone looked surprised at this scene.

But what Li Shengtian was most concerned about at this moment was whether the truck he entrusted to his team members could arrive safely.

As he was already inside the military base, he had no accurate grasp of the information developments in the outside world.

Those colleagues involved in the project followed the instructions to find the truck parked behind the Red Star Steel Plant and quickly drove to the designated destination.

The speed is acceptable and we will catch up with the team in front in no time.

However, when the truck arrived at the base entrance, it was not able to enter smoothly like the car in front of it. The soldiers on duty stopped it and conducted a detailed investigation.

As they were strangers, the sentry at the gate questioned: "Who are you?" The members hurriedly explained, but still could not completely convince the others, so they had to wait on the sidelines for the time being.

The sentry immediately contacted the military commander and reported the current situation.

Upon hearing the news that the technical team of Red Star Steel Plant was wandering outside, the commander explained the unexpected situation.
