A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

That's not all; after the earthen slope comes a right-angle bend.

Other vehicles were slowing down and passing by slowly. One extended Shanghai-plated car had even driven its front end off the curb, and the driver's hands were already spinning in the wind.

Mr. Liu was too lazy to wait for him to move slowly. After honking the horn to attract the attention of the Shanghai-registered driver, his left hand unconsciously rested on the car window again.

With a gentle turn of the steering wheel, the Yellow River truck obediently made a smooth turn. The dust kicked up covered the driver of the Shanghai-plated truck.

"Damn it!" The driver from Shanghai spat out two mouthfuls of ash and looked at the long blue car with envy.

Next came a series of S-curves, which the Yellow River truck handled with ease.

The smooth performance drew the attention of everyone on the podium, who all raised their binoculars and stared intently at the long blue dragon.

"Wartime maneuver! The quality of the execution is truly high!"

"The speed isn't low either! At least 40!"

"My goodness, the driver is operating the car with one hand! Were these drivers specially selected? They're incredibly strong!"

At the end of the S-curve was a puddle.

The trucks ahead were still carefully slowing down, but the Yellow River truck ignored them and even sped up, plunging headfirst into the puddle like a blue elephant, splashing up a large spray of water with a loud bang.

They soaked the Liberation Card next to them from head to toe.

The Jiefang truck driver frantically rolled up his window: "So what if the wheels are big! Try it again if you dare!"

They came again, and four more trucks followed closely behind.

After the splashing sound, the truck bed was filled with about half a box of muddy water.

The young soldier standing nearby looked at the puddle, which had already lost more than half its water, with a bitter expression: "It's not easy to get some water in the dead of winter! And now it's all gone in a flash, how am I supposed to do the tests afterwards!"

Following the long blue train, Nanjing Yuejin was overjoyed; they had really snagged a bargain! They immediately sped up and overtook the Jiefang truck, which was soaked to the bone.

"Will they slow down now that the shells have cratered up?" someone on the platform muttered to themselves.

Ha, slowing down is impossible.

The experienced driver, Mr. Liu, took the lead, driving over shallow potholes directly and easily navigating deeper ones thanks to his excellent steering skills.

And so, the blue convoy that set off last was the first to complete all the test items and return to the starting point amidst billowing dust.

"Teacher Jiang! Aren't we amazing!"

Mr. Liu, who couldn't wait to jump off the front of the car, came to Jiangxia's side with a happy expression.

"That's because Jiang Gong's improved vehicle is amazing! It's not you who's amazing!" Liu Mingzhong said with a smile, tossing a cigarette over.

"You can't say that. A machine is a machine. No matter how powerful it is, it still needs a person to operate it, right? If I were in charge, I really couldn't run it this well!" Li Huaide interjected.

However, he was absolutely right.

I haven't seen how good the cars are in later generations, yet some people still can't even pass the second part of their driving test.

Master Liu chuckled: "That's right, our skills have been tested on the northern battlefield!"

What was said in jest was taken seriously; the young man in the light blue work uniform standing nearby had his eyes light up.

Squeezing through the crowd that had rushed to watch the Yellow River, they ran desperately towards the platform.

She approached a man wearing a woolen Zhongshan suit and whispered a few words to him.

The man in the woolen Zhongshan suit was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Yes! The people over there said it themselves!"

The man in the woolen Zhongshan suit was the director of the Northeast Automobile Factory. He was extremely annoyed to see the Yellow River truck encircling the Jiefang truck.

Looking at the Yellow River truck's sturdy appearance, I thought it was just a big, clumsy truck, and even considered comparing it with my own Liberation truck.

"After our improvements, the Jiefang truck's load capacity has been increased to 5 tons, but it's much more maneuverable than that bulky truck that supposedly can carry 8 tons!"

As it turned out, the reality check came much faster than expected!

However, this face will be returned to us soon!

Director Guo of the Northeast Automobile Factory stood up and shouted, "Report!"

Nobody paid any attention to him.

So he raised his voice again: "Report! I request to speak! I have an objection!"

The elderly man at the head of the group finally put down his binoculars, glanced at him, and said, "Speak!"

"I have a problem with this! The Yellow River's victory was unfair!"

Oh? This statement piqued the interest of everyone on the stage, and they all paused their discussion and looked at him.

"The driver of the Yellow River truck is a veteran who has been to the northern battlefields, which is why he can drive it at this level!"

"But these kinds of master craftsmen are extremely rare! They're practically nonexistent!"

"This time, the focus of the military's motorization is on the vehicles, not the personnel!"

The people on the platform thought about it and realized there was some truth to it. Back then, a sniper god could take down more than 200 Japanese soldiers with just a Mosin-Nagant, while for an ordinary soldier, getting one kill with five shots was considered extremely good.

"So what's your opinion?"

"I think we should select soldiers who can drive from the team on site to drive themselves, see how well they drive, and let them share their driving experience!"

Hey, that makes sense!

The people on the platform started discussing: "Old Zhou, I think what Director Guo said makes a lot of sense. Ultimately, these trucks are intended for use at the grassroots level. If the operating costs are too high, it's not a good thing!"

Old Zhou sat upright on the platform and said, "Alright, then we'll do it your way! This is the first time our logistics department has held an evaluation conference, so we must make it a success! We must make it so that everyone is convinced!"

As he spoke, he sized up the crowd with his tiger-like eyes.

Director Guo was overjoyed to hear this.

If this option is chosen, then the Liberation Card will undoubtedly have a major advantage!

Because the trucks used by the military now are either GAZ or Jiefang, and the soldiers in the military logistics department learn to drive Jiefang trucks when they enlist!

Their skill level wasn't much higher than other types of trucks!

With the dragon charging right in, how could I possibly lose?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Director Guo looked down at the big blue elephant on the hillside and laughed heartily.

It's worth noting that the Northeast Automobile Factory received internal information six months in advance, and relevant personnel also revealed the importance of this selection process to them.

If you catch up, you can ride the wind!

Although as the eldest son of Huaguo Automobile, it receives abundant resources and technological support, to the point of overflowing.

But who would complain about having too much stuff in their hands!

……

Beep beep beep~~~~

A sharp whistle rang out from the platform, and the soldiers on guard duty raised their red signal flags.

The trucks that were still circling around the area were also guided to stop to the side.

The tin speaker emitted a somewhat distorted sound:

"As decided by the chairman, the test driver of the truck will be replaced by a soldier."

"for……"

"All manufacturer representatives, please wait outside the prohibited line!"

The representatives from each manufacturer were participating in this kind of selection for the first time, and those who were obedient stepped aside upon hearing this.

After the announcement was repeated three times, a group of soldiers ran into the field and were the first to board the Liberation Card.

Factory Director Guo held up his binoculars and smiled smugly again.

"Driving a truck is hard work; you get weaker and weaker towards the end!"

"What is first-mover advantage? What are details? This is micromanagement!"

The advantage is mine!

A life without rivals is as lonely as snow!
