Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

After coming out of the Jiang family courtyard, Zhou Yang felt a little complicated.

He sat in the car without saying anything for a long time. Seeing his state, Liang Xiaoshan, Zhang Jun and others knew enough not to disturb him, and the car did not start.

Zhou Yang had mixed feelings in his heart. Although he and Mr. Jiang just spoke very freely, in fact, he still had some expectations for this title award.

It's not that Zhou Yang cares much about the military rank, it's just that no one who comes from this olive-green city has a dream of becoming a general.

Furthermore, now he often wears a military uniform, with a red heart on his head and two red flags on his shoulders. He feels great. He likes this way of dressing very much. It is simple, simple and awe-inspiring.

If after the military rank system is restored, scientific researchers like them are determined not to be awarded a rank, then they will be the same as those officials of the local party committee and will not be able to wear military uniforms.

This is somewhat of a pity for Zhou Yang.

But Zhou Yang was not unable to accept the refusal of the title, but it was inevitable that he felt a little regretful.

But if life is unsatisfactory, there is no regret. It's just that some people don't cry out for pain.

Just like a female teacher once said, I originally thought that the biggest regret in life was that my love was separated by mountains and seas, and mountains and seas cannot be leveled. But later I realized that there are boats to cross the seas, roads to the mountains, and mountains and seas can be leveled, but it is difficult to level them. People's hearts.

Yes, it is difficult to calm down the human heart...

In his previous life, he only wanted to escape from the poverty-stricken Babaoliang Village, but in the end he killed his wife and daughter, and he regretted it for the rest of his life.

The eldest brother is talented and determined, but he failed Tana because of a promise, and he himself became disabled for life. Every time he talks about this, he cannot hide his regret.

Therefore, regret is the norm in life, and you must learn to let go!

The mountains and rivers in my heart are unpretentious, I am close without arguing about the right and wrong of the distance, I stop and look and follow the wind, I walk and look calmly.

Don't think about the past and don't be afraid of the future.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang let out a long sigh, and then said to Liang Xiaoshan in the driver's seat: "Xiao Liang, go to the equipment department!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Then the car started and drove straight to the ministry...

Not long after Zhou Yang left, Mr. Jiang came back.

Seeing Jiang Chengcai sitting alone in the living room, he immediately asked: "Is that kid gone?"

Jiang Chengcai said gloomily: "Well, I just left for a while!"

"What's wrong? You look a little unhappy. Xiao Zhou didn't agree to help you?" Mr. Jiang asked with a smile.

"No, Lao Zhou is kind-hearted. It's not a big deal for me. How could he not help? I just..."

"Just what?"

"I just feel aggrieved for him. Zhou Yang has made so many contributions to the country over the years, whether it is pulse Doppler radar, artillery sight radar, anti-tank missiles, fighter jets, helicopters, early warning aircraft, communication command vehicles, etc., that is not the same His credit!”

Then Jiang Chengcai continued: "Besides that, there is also the field of civilian technology, for which he is also indispensable. The conversion of the military to civilians and the standardization of technology alone are enough to improve our country's scientific and technological strength for ten years, and also vigorously promote economic development. , not to mention that he has won tens of billions of dollars in military trade deals for the military several times, so why not give him a title?”

Mr. Jiang sighed and said: "The above is also based on the overall situation. After all, there are too many meritorious scientific researchers across the country. If nothing else, the few nuclear units alone have hundreds of meritorious officials. , Once this hole is opened, can you say no to whom you will grant a title? "

"Then just award them all. Those who have meritorious service should be rewarded. It's a matter of course!" Jiang Chengcai said.

"It's not as simple as you think. Military ranks are different from other rewards. Suddenly there are dozens or hundreds of generals. This is no joke." Jiang Lao said.

"But there is only one Zhou Yang. Doing this will chill the hero!"

Then Jiang Chengcai said again: "Furthermore, Zhou Yang is the dean of the 18th Research Institute and is the leader. The higher-ups don't know the strength and heritage of the 18th Research Institute. I know it. If it chills those scientific researchers, This will affect the progress of scientific research, which is definitely a huge loss that the entire country cannot bear! "

Hearing this, Mr. Jiang also fell silent.

After a long time, he finally said: "Chengcai, don't worry. Although the superiors are considering this matter, they have not confirmed that Zhou Yang will not be awarded the title. There is still room for change in this matter!"

"Really?"

"Well, don't forget that that kid is still the deputy commander of the Saibei Province Military Region. That is a real military position. If it doesn't work, I suggest to the superiors that the kid use his position!" Jiang Laodao said.

"How to move?"

"Let him directly serve as Xiao Song's deputy in the ministry, and he will be in charge of arms research and development. He will be a professional counterpart!"

"Hahaha, I think it will work, but I don't know if that guy will be happy with it!" Jiang Chengcai said.

"This is a good thing. Why doesn't he like it?" Jiang Lao said.

"Uncle, you still don't know Zhou Yang very well. That guy has no interest in getting promoted and making money. What he is most interested in is scientific research. If you ask him to choose one of the two positions of dean of research and director of equipment department, he will not hesitate. You should choose the former, let alone a deputy minister!" Jiang Chengcai said.

"This is a bit difficult to handle!"

"Uncle, you must help Zhou Yang. I know that he has always had a dream to be a general. He used to be happy because he could wear a military uniform like me. If he is not awarded the title this time, it will be to him It’s definitely a big blow!”

"Well, I'll try my best, but the specific situation still needs to be decided by those veterans!"

"I see..."

...........

Urban area. Equipment department!

When Zhou Yang came over, Song Wenzhong was holding a meeting with comrades in the ministry.

When the secretary told him that Zhou Yang was coming, he asked the deputy minister to preside over the meeting for him, and he hurried back to the office.

In the past, he was just a deputy minister, and there were many secrets that he was not qualified to know. He didn't know much about Zhou Yang's identity, and thought he was just an ordinary head of the research institute.

But after he took over as Minister of Equipment and was appointed deputy leader of the Sickle Project leadership group, Song Wenzhong learned that there was such a high-level national plan.

Only then did he know that Zhou Yang was not only in this leadership group, but also the deputy leader, and was ranked higher than him.

Through in-depth understanding, Song Wenzhong learned that the entire sickle plan was actually centered on Zhou Yang.

This is like playing chess. Zhou Yang is the chess player, and Yan Gengdong, Lu Zhengjun, Yang Qi and others are just chess pieces on the chessboard.

From then on, Song Wenzhong did not dare to underestimate Zhou Yang, a "subordinate".

At the door of the office, Song Wenzhong saw Zhou Yang and immediately said with a smile: "Comrade Zhou Yang, why are you here without making a call beforehand and launching a surprise attack?"

Zhou Yang smiled and said: "I have orders from above to go back to the capital to do some things. I will report to you on the work by the way. I won't disturb you, right?"

"That's not true. Let's talk about it in the house!"

With that said, Song Wenzhong opened the office door, and then walked in one after another with Zhou Yang.

After entering the office, Song Wenzhong asked Zhou Yang to sit down first, while he himself made tea and water for Zhou Yang.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Song Wenzhong immediately said: "Comrade Zhou Yang, you can tell me what work you want to report now!"

Zhou Yang didn't show any pretense. He took out a thick stack of information from the military satchel he carried with him and handed it to Song Wenzhong.

"Minister, this is the business revenue and scientific research results of our 18th Research Institute in the past year. Take a look!"

With a hint of expectation, Song Wenzhong took the information, then sat across from Zhou Yang and started reading.

After just a few glances, they said excitedly: "64 billion... Your research institute's revenue last year actually reached 54 billion. Is this true?"

Zhou Yang nodded and said: "It's true, but of the 64 billion in revenue, 16 billion are costs, and the actual income is only 48 billion!"

Hearing the words "48 billion", Song Wenzhong couldn't help but twitch.

Do you hear this?

During this period, many units reported their situation to the ministry. The vast majority of units had average results. Although the results of some units with side businesses were good, they were far from as exaggerated as the 18th Research Institute.

Take Factory 504 for example. Although the large ice cream they produce is very popular, it only costs about 300 million yuan a year, which is barely enough to maintain the normal operation of their factory.

It is completely incomparable to the 46 billion net profit of the th Research Institute!

After a moment of reflection, Minister Song immediately said: "The benefits of your hospital far exceed the department's expectations. It is another great achievement. I will ask for credit for you later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yang said: "Minister, asking for credit is the second most important thing. The main reason I came here this time is to submit to you our institute's scientific research plan for next year!"

With that said, Zhou Yang took out a document again and handed it to Song Wenzhong.

Seeing the documents handed over by Zhou Yang, Song Wenzhong suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart. This scene seemed a bit familiar to him...
