A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Remove it?

The others started circling the processing center again, and finally returned to the old man with long faces.

"Sir, I don't know how they built this machine. It's a single, seamless piece, and we can't get started!"

"If we absolutely have to dismantle it, we can divide it into two parts at most!"

An elderly man pointed to the vertical workbench of the machining center.

"Even so, what can the people at the steel mill do? It's been split into two pieces, each probably weighing several tons, and GAZ can't transport them away!"

The old man in the lead smiled sinisterly: "That's why I had them put out a truck bidding process!"

What outrageous and treacherous words! Or rather, as expected of the Logistics Department, they never fight unprepared battles?

Li Huaide, who had already seen Manager Wang off, rushed to the small workshop.

Hearing this sentence as soon as he entered the door, Li Huaide, who thought he had beaten the bunch of big shots in the logistics department, was trembling with fear.

"I thought they were here to steal our products, but I never expected they were here to dig up our roots!"

Fortunately, another elderly man spoke up: "Don't even think about it. Look at the base of this machining center. It's all covered with cement. They're just trying to protect themselves from your hands!"

"Even if you manage to hammer it out, you might not even be able to turn it on! You have to understand that these kinds of machine tools are extremely precise!"

When the logistics department staff took a look, hey! It really was like that. Not only was it covered with cement, but the corners of the machine tool were also firmly nailed to the ground by several large nails.

The old man ground his teeth: "Hey, this little brat, beware of thieves!"

If Jiang Xia were here, he would definitely teach these guys a lesson. You can't do anything with a precision machine tool if it's not properly secured! What a petty scheming person!

"Alright, stop scaring people. Let me introduce you." A middle-aged man walked up to Li Huaide and shook his hand.

"I am Team Leader Wen from the logistics department. This is Engineer Xie, this is Engineer Sun, and that over there is Deputy Team Leader Zhou!"

Hey, this seemingly impressive Old Zhou is actually just a deputy group leader?

After introducing the key figures, Team Leader Wen got straight to the point.

"Our logistics department has submitted an application to you, hoping to 'borrow' this machining center. I wonder if you would agree?"

"Our national defense industry urgently needs the support of high-end machine tools!"

Hearing the word "borrow," Li Huaide thought of the eight small steel cannons that the Ministry of Chemical Industry had borrowed.

These eight poor little guys, I wonder what kind of torture the Ministry of Chemical Industry has done to them. That's science, it can bite!

Borrow my ass!

Li Huaide is not like Yang Youning, who is easily fooled and will jump on the bandwagon as soon as he shouts slogans.

His fat face beamed with a smile: "Team Leader Wen, and comrades all. We understand your difficulties! Logically, we shouldn't refuse your requests."

"However, whether we can borrow it still requires the approval of the Ministry of Machinery Industry. We are just a factory under the Ministry of Machinery Industry, and we have to follow orders in everything we do!"

Li Huaide is a shrewd man. He could tell from Team Leader Wen's tone that they must have run into a wall with Minister Xia.

Otherwise, why would these big shots be so polite to him?

They'd probably already been slamming it into the ground with a sledgehammer!

Unexpectedly, Team Leader Wen smiled and said, "It's alright. Our leaders have spoken to your superiors. As long as you believe you can accomplish it, the Ministry of Machinery Industry has no objections!"

I believe you!

You're a wicked guy with that smiling face! Just like Wang Kui, you're both full of bad intentions!

It would be a miracle if the Ministry of Machinery Industry agreed. Do you think I'm Yang Youning, someone you can easily intimidate with a few words?

No, I need to think of a way to smooth things over; I can't afford to piss these old men off.

Right, shift firepower, shift firepower!

Li Huaide's brain matter transformed into a Snapdragon 820 at this moment, spinning rapidly, with steam visibly rising from the top of his head.

Got it!

"Team Leader Wen, we've already submitted the blueprints for our machining center. With the blueprints, it shouldn't be difficult for the logistics department to manufacture it!"

After speaking, Li Huaide observed the expressions on everyone's faces.

Surprised? Astonished? Incredulous!

Hey, that's right!

We're willing to hand over something that's like a family heirloom, so tell me, are you convinced or not?

I'll interrupt your train of thought first, and then you'll do as I say!

"After all, the tungsten steel we need all comes from you! We're just a steel rolling mill, and it took a lot of manpower and resources to build this machining center!"

"We're counting on it to generate profits for us!"

"The task of foreign trade is so heavy now, not only is the Ministry of Foreign Trade keeping an eye on it, but even the General Office in Haizi is..."

"Poor Comrade Jiang Xia. He lost a whole ten pounds, no! Twenty pounds, because of this processing center!"

……

In fact, after Li Huaide said that the blueprints had been handed in, Team Leader Wen's attention was no longer on him.

Suppressing his surprise, he began to discuss with the two engineers who had come with him.

"With the blueprints, can we make it ourselves?"

Engineers Sun and Xie's eyes lit up when they heard that there were blueprints.

"Yes, but it's difficult!" Engineer Sun slowly shook his head.

Team Leader Wen nodded. "If it can be done, that's fine. We have more master craftsmen than the steel rolling mill!"

After saying that, Team Leader Wen nodded to Li Huaide, "The recovery mission is complete, Deputy Factory Director Li, then we won't disturb you any longer!"

"Hey, no problem, no problem at all. We're all one family, right? Sit a little longer, I'll tell the mess hall to prepare a good meal!"

"No need! I have urgent business to attend to! Goodbye!"

With that, Team Leader Wen led the way out.

Deputy team leader Zhou was left behind.

"Wow, the steel rolling mill is full of hidden talents. They managed to swindle the young man away so easily."

Sweating profusely, Li Huaide looked at the smiling old man in front of him and repeatedly said no.

Old Zhou ignored him: "When the brat comes back, tell him that he's helping us build this machining center, and our bet counts as his win!"

"Uh, Deputy Team Leader Zhou, the logistics department is so big and powerful, they don't need us to do anything! We can barely afford to eat here~~"

"Alright, you think you can make something just by having a blueprint? If that were the case, the J-6 would have been flying long ago! Don't try to use your cleverness on me."

"I learned a trick from General Jin a while ago. Do you want to know what it is?"

Li Huaide shook his head faster than a rattle-drum, leaving afterimages.

When Li Huaide heard the words "J-6" from the old man, he wanted to punch a hole in his ear.

"Haha, quite smart. More responsible than your father-in-law. Keep it up, you might just make a name for yourself!"

After saying that, Old Zhou walked out with his hands behind his back, swaying unsteadily.

Li Huaide was left standing there, stunned.

"Oh, right, what General Kim taught me was 'cannon jue,' the kind with a hundred 125mm howitzers!"

Li Huaide felt that his pants were a little damp.

But I was also a little proud: Me! Li Huaide, from now on please call me Shoujiaren!
