According to his discussion with Lao Tan, this weapon was extremely important to the troops and they had to strive to equip the troops as soon as possible. If a war really broke out on the southern front, howitzers would be extremely useful in jungle combat.

The combat effectiveness of a cannon that can be equipped to an infantry squad cannot be overstated.

Duan Weimin went to visit the leaders of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

Besides striving to get the howitzer machine gun in place as soon as possible, Duan Weimin also wanted to secure better treatment for Tan Dexi himself. Such talent shouldn't always be kept in the Yanggou Cadre School. What a waste!

It is better to implement the policy quickly and restore his position as chief engineer and the treatment of a full colonel.

Liu Hongyi followed his teacher back to Chuzhou area and returned to Factory 576 that Tan Dexi had been thinking about.

Before leaving, Duan Weimin personally called Director Song of Factory 576.

He was told explicitly that Tan Dexi was currently seconded to the research institute and was considered a senior engineer. Therefore, upon his arrival at Factory 576, he would be treated as a senior engineer.

Director Song was once a student of Tan Dexi. It was with Tan Dexi's strong recommendation that he was able to step up to the position of factory director step by step. It is impossible for him to treat his teacher badly.

But now is a special period, and Director Song has no way to deal with many things.

After Tan Dexi was labeled "some authority," Director Song had no choice but to send him to the Yanggou Cadre School to avoid being criticized. Although life in the cadre school was a bit hard, it at least saved him from "physical suffering."

Otherwise, with Tan Dexi's physique, he might not be able to walk down from the criticism platform unscathed.

Therefore, Tan Dexi's going to Yanggou Cadre School was actually a kind of protection for him by Director Song.

Factory 576 today was no longer ruled solely by Director Song. Although he held the title of Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee of Qingshan Machinery Factory, there were two members of the committee who were members of the "Zao Mou faction" and who had always been at odds with him.

Director Song himself was almost labeled as a "protector of something" or a "member of something."

If it weren't for someone from above protecting him, he would have had to go to Yanggou Cadre School.

Duan Weimin made this call specifically to support Director Song and to warn the other "creators" that this was a military mission and they should not mess around. If something goes wrong, they will have to bear all the responsibility.

Upon learning that the teacher was coming back to the factory to get weapons samples, Director Song was very happy and arranged for someone to meet him.

But it was opposed by Wang Zhigao, deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee.

Wang Zhigao is the guy who came from the "Zaomou faction". He is currently the first-ranked deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of Factory 576, second only to the director of the Revolutionary Committee, Song Anhua.

"Old Song, this isn't good, is it? Tan Dexi is a 'certain authority on movement science,' a veteran rightist, and has already been sent to a cadre school. How come he's back? We haven't received any documents from our superiors."

Wang Zhigao is in his forties and was just an ordinary technical worker in Factory 576. Because he was careless at work and made a big mistake, he was severely criticized by the then chief engineer Tan Dexi. He was also punished and had his salary reduced by one level. Therefore, he had a lot of dissatisfaction with Tan Dexi.

During a special period, he relied on the "Zao Mou Faction" to start his business and once controlled the power of Factory 576, and then launched a crazy revenge against Tan Dexi.

If it weren't for Song Anhua's desperate protection, Old Tan might have died a few years earlier.

Later, Wang Zhigao was incorporated into the Revolutionary Committee of Factory 576 and served as the first deputy director. He had a group of followers in the factory and was quite powerful. He would occasionally jump out to compete with Song Anhua.

If it were someone else, it would be fine, but when Wang Zhigao heard that Tan Dexi was coming back, he immediately quit.

This old guy, he was lucky that he was not killed back then. How dare he come back?

Song Anhua glanced at him and said calmly, "Old Wang, this isn't a factory decision. This is the opinion of a certain research institute. Director Duan called personally and said that Tan Dexi is currently on secondment to their research institute. He's here on behalf of the research institute and has a new weapon sample production task assigned to our factory."
