Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

However, this method of operation cannot be used on Professor Chen Jiayou.

He was a criminal who had been formally sentenced to seven years in prison by the court and was an "enemy spy."

Before his sentence was revoked, not even Commander Yu or the Jingjiang Provincial Revolutionary Committee could release him from the labor camp and allow him to do research at the Third Research Institute, let alone research new weapons.

"Commander, there's a precedent!"

Seeing that Commander Yu was in trouble, Liu Hongyi tried his best to persuade him.

"Is there a precedent?"

"What precedent is there?"

Commander Yu asked back with some curiosity.

"Comrade Shen Yi."

Commander Yu was startled at first, then revealed an expression of great joy, and slapped his head suddenly: "How could I have forgotten this?"

In his excitement, he even forgot to ask how Liu Hongyi knew Shen Yi.

So who is this Comrade Shen Yi?

Director of the Artillery Engineering Department of the famous Harbin Institute of Technology.

Shen Yi's life is legendary.

He once studied in France and is an expert in ballistic engineering.

After returning to China, he served as an officer in the Kuomintang government at least general.

Later, he resolutely went to Yan'an and became a member of our party, doing a lot of useful work.

However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, while serving as Director of the Planning Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, he lost himself and became corrupt, embezzling public funds totaling 3 million yuan (old currency). In the sensational case of Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan at the time, the total amount of public funds embezzled by the two was only a little over 3 million yuan (old currency).

Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan were publicly tried and executed, and Shen Yi was also sentenced to death.

But the story doesn't end there.

At that time, General Chen Geng was ordered to establish Harbin Institute of Technology, and was extremely short of talent. In order to rescue Shen Yi from the brink of death, the general did not hesitate to alarm the founding prime minister and the great leader. Finally, with the special approval of the leader, Shen Yi's sentence was commuted to fixed-term imprisonment, and the sentence was changed to be served outside prison.

Shen Yi escaped death from the brink of death, deeply repented, changed his ways, and devoted himself to the establishment of the Artillery Engineering Department of Harbin Institute of Technology, making great contributions.

In 1959, he was granted amnesty by the Central People's Government.

Commander Yu had previously worked in the Northeast region and was familiar with Shen Yi's situation.

"Besides, Shen Yi really did commit a serious crime and was sentenced to death. His situation is really different from Professor Chen Jiayou's."

Liu Hongyi continued.

The charge of "collaborating with foreign countries" against Professor Chen Jiayou is really far-fetched.

"You're right. I'm going to the south right now to find Commander Xu!"

Commander Yu is a man of decisive character who values ​​talented people as if they were his life.

The key point was that the two new weapons Liu Hongyi had developed were real. Therefore, the old general attached great importance to Liu Hongyi's suggestions.

If he could accomplish any one of the three things Liu Hongyi mentioned, it would be worth his effort.

Commander Yu also knew that he did not have much influence among the senior leaders, but Commander Xu of the Southern Military Region definitely did.

Even at the level of commander of a major military region, Commander Xu's influence is among the best.

As long as Commander Xu is willing to go to Beidu to find the big boss "Mushroom" in person for this matter, there should be hope.

Liu Hongyi immediately stood at attention and saluted the old general solemnly.

"Thank you, Commander!"

Commander Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Kid, why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you. I, Old Yu, have been a soldier all my life, fighting reactionaries and foreign devils for half my life. Whatever I do for this army is my duty."

"But you... My ideological awareness can't be lower than that of a little comrade like you, right?"

As he said this, he raised his hand to his eyebrows and formally returned a military salute to Liu Hongyi.

At that moment, the old general personally sent Liu Hongyi to Jiuan Railway Station and watched him board the train back to Daning. He then returned to Nanmen City, packed some clothes, and also boarded a train to Nanfang City, the capital of Lingnan Province.

Time flies.

The Spring Festival is approaching in the blink of an eye.

Liu Hongyi took three days off and returned to Chuxin County early to spend the New Year with his parents.
