Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

Another provincial party secretary interrupted and said with a smile.

He was the secretary in charge of industrial production and one of the few provincial leaders who supported Ai Gaofeng's opinions.

"Comrade Ai Gaofeng made it very clear that these factories are mainly built to earn foreign exchange through exports. Look at the products they want to produce: enamelware, power bank batteries, mopeds, and even pig and chicken farms. These are indeed key products for earning foreign exchange through exports."

"These products are not only welcomed by third world countries, but they are also sold in developed countries."

"Government-run factories, exporting products to earn foreign exchange and contributing to the country, how can that be considered a mistake?"

"We have to complete the pig production targets assigned by the state every year. We can't afford to make mistakes, right?"

"I think Ai Gaofeng is quite creative and bold. If we follow his ideas, we might be able to solve these problems."

Zheng Guosheng sneered, "Humph, we're well aware of the current external environment. How many countries do business with us? Can these products be sold? Can the higher-ups give us so many targets?"

The Industry Secretary smiled and said, "Secretary Guosheng, why don't we give it a try first? Let them try it out. Don't expand the scale too much all at once. Once the product is ready, we'll try to sell it. If it's popular, we'll expand production and ask the government for more quotas. If it's really not working, then we won't expand production and will maintain the status quo."

"If we only produce a small amount, even if we digest it internally, it won't be a big problem."

"For such a large country, the demand for various products is still quite large."

Seeing that Zheng Guosheng was about to object, Bian Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "I think Comrade Jianguo's suggestion is worth considering. Why not let them give it a try?"

"Just sell everything you produce to the state. With unified purchase and sales, there won't be any problems."

"Comrade Jianguo, keep an eye on them and don't let them get away!"

Industrial Secretary Huang Jianguo hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was October 77.

Liu Hongyi was seventeen years old and had served as a company-level cadre for five months.

Formally submitted an application to join the party to the Party Committee of the Third Research Institute.

This time is three years earlier than the other time and space.

The last time Liu Hongyi joined the Party was at school. He was one of the three student Party members in his department that year.

Liu Hongyi's application to join the party was quickly approved. After completing the relevant procedures, he took an oath in front of the party flag and became a glorious probationary member of the Communist Party of China.

Duan Weimin personally introduced him to the party.

In the past few months, Liu Hongyi has mainly been researching small-caliber rapid-fire mortars.

Liu Hongyi's own requirements for this mortar were: a small caliber, 60mm would be sufficient. And a lightweight. The 60mm mortar currently in military service weighs over 11 kilograms. Liu Hongyi and Tan Dexi discussed over the phone whether this weight could be maintained.

Some people may ask, since the weight remains unchanged, what is the point of studying it?

Just produce them as they are, they are all mature products.

Next comes the most important requirement.

Load the breech and pull the trigger.

This is the "soul" of the rapid-fire mortar.

Liu Hongyi designed a four-round magazine with breech loading, which could fire all four rounds in four seconds. The key was to significantly increase the density of firepower projection.

Rapid artillery fire has practical significance in actual combat.

It can cover the enemy with firepower in the shortest time possible, leaving them with basically no time to hide.

Liu Hongyi's short-term goal was to ensure this rapid-fire mortar was ready for use in the southern war, which was expected to break out in just over a year. This would further strengthen the company and platoon's firepower. His long-term goal was to develop a vehicle-mounted rapid-fire mortar based on this foundation.
