Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 713: Promoted to General

The Phoenix operating system itself was developed by Lu Shaohua in cooperation with the military. When it was finally completed, it was divided into two different versions. One is the civilian version, which is the Phoenix operating system that Lu Shaohua is currently selling, and the other is the version used internally by the military.

As for the military, anything involving these two words must be a war, not to mention that it is not just a computer operating system?

A computer operating system is used by the military, so it must be used for computers. What is the most feared thing for military computers? Undoubtedly, it is used for command. If a war breaks out, then this operating system will play a vital role.

And if the core code of the operating system is leaked and someone with ulterior motives finds a loophole, it can be directly hacked and there is no defense against it. In today's electronic warfare, it is doomed to lose.

Suppose that a war really came, and the computer was hacked and invaded, what would it bring to the country? How much harm would it bring? Lu Shaohua didn't know, and didn't dare to imagine. If the hypothetical thing came true, then the whole of China would be in danger.

Needless to say, when Lu Shaohua realized the seriousness of the matter, he didn't even think about it and directly asked the general manager of Phoenix Software to call the head of the military and tell the military about the situation here. Then it was up to the military to decide how to deal with it.

However, no matter whether Liang Xiaoli comes to the military or to the Phoenix Group, Lu Shaohua will not be polite to her. If she comes to the military, Lu Shaohua will hand her over to the military to deal with it. If she comes to the Phoenix Group, then Lu Shaohua will find the mastermind behind the scenes and give her a devastating blow.

The days of peace had lasted too long, and Lu Shaohua had been peaceful for a long time, without destroying anything at the slightest provocation. But now something like this had happened, and the anger buried deep in Lu Shaohua's heart was completely aroused, and he was ready to resort to knifes and guns again.

But Lu Shaohua forgot that no matter whether Liang Xiaoli's behind-the-scenes organization was targeting the Phoenix Group or the military, the final result would be the same, and they would suffer a devastating blow. The only difference was that if it was targeting the military, then it would be the military that would destroy it.

It has to be said that the incident happened too suddenly, and the military was a little slow to react. However, when they received a call from the Phoenix Group, the military quickly sent people over. A helicopter landed on the top floor of the Phoenix Building. Four fully armed soldiers protected an old man in a major general's uniform and went straight to the general manager's office on the 23rd floor with great momentum.

It is not difficult to guess that the old man in the major general's uniform is from the Guangzhou military, otherwise he would not have been able to arrive at the Phoenix Building so quickly. You know, it was only half an hour since the call was made. The fact that he could arrive proves that he is not far from Shenzhen.

Not to mention the four fully armed soldiers. From their aura it can be seen that they are undoubtedly special forces, and top-notch special forces at that. Lu Shaohua can tell from the aura they exude.

When he saw the old major general, Lu Shaohua's expression was normal, with a faint smile on his face. He stood up and welcomed the major general, but did not rush to speak.

The old major general was the deputy commander of the Guangzhou Military Region. He knew Lu Shaohua. When Lu Shaohua went to the Guangzhou Military Region to handle air routes, he met Lu Shaohua at Li Changsheng's home. Yixi still remembers Lu Shaohua.

Having met Lu Shaohua before, and also as the deputy commander of a large military region, he couldn't possibly be unaware of Lu Shaohua's true identity, so when he saw Lu Shaohua was also present, he stopped his feet, saluted with a very standard military salute, and shouted loudly, "Hello, Chief!"

Lu Shaohua's current military rank is lieutenant general, one level higher than major general. As a subordinate, the old major general must of course call him chief.

Moreover, Lu Shaohua's rank was no longer Lieutenant General, but General, and he was promoted a few days ago, but Lu Shaohua didn't know it yet. However, the Military Commission had sent a document to the Guangzhou Military Region regarding Lu Shaohua's promotion to General, and the Deputy Commander knew about it.

There have been many generals in Chinese history, but in this peaceful era, there are only a few generals left. Apart from some retired ones, there are a few in the Central Military Commission. As for the major military forces, the most common ones are lieutenant generals.

He is two levels higher than me, so it is only natural to call him "Chief".

But Lu Shaohua was not used to it. You know, this old man was at least fifty or sixty years old, while Lu Shaohua was only in his twenties. When he was called like that, Lu Shaohua felt uncomfortable all over.

However, this was the official name after all, and Lu Shaohua could not refuse, so he just waved his hand and said, "Just call me by my name, but it sounds awkward, haha..."

The old major general also laughed, but he did not call him as Lu Shaohua meant. Instead, he changed it to "Mr. Lu", turning Lu Shaohua's identity into that of a businessman.

Lu Shaohua didn't mind. He asked the person to sit aside and then he was ready to explain the matter clearly.

But before Lu Shaohua could speak, the old major general spoke first, "Mr. Lu, I didn't know you were here today. If I had known, I would have brought you the appointment letter and certificate sent by the Military Commission."

"Military Commission? Appointment? Certificate?" Lu Shaohua frowned, not knowing what the old major general was talking about, and was a little confused.

"Huh?" The old major general was stunned and a little confused, but soon he reacted and spoke. "It's about your promotion."

Now, Lu Shaohua understood. It turned out that when he called Zeng Jianguo just now, Zeng Jianguo had told him about the promotion of military rank, and now the documents and certificates have been sent to the Guangzhou Military Region.

The efficiency of work was very high, which was something Lu Shaohua had not expected. However, he was more or less happy about being promoted to general. Although it was a sinecure and he had no power to be in charge of the army, but when he heard the rank of general, it was always okay to scare people.

"Oh... that's not urgent, there's plenty of time." Lu Shaohua smiled, then changed the subject and said, "I think you should know that a spy was caught here who stole the core code of the Phoenix operating system. The military's operating system is similar to the Phoenix operating system. If the core code is lost, it will have a certain impact on the operating system used by the military."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua glanced at the old admiral and continued, "This matter can be big or small. If the spy simply stole the core code for commercial use, then it's nothing. But if someone is targeting the military's operating system, then it's a big deal."

The old admiral seemed to understand the meaning of this, nodded solemnly, and said, "The military has reported this matter to the Military Commission, and the Military Commission has also issued instructions, asking me to come and take over the spy and take him back to the military district for trial."

Almost all of China's military forces use the operating system developed by Phoenix Group. Now that such a thing has happened, the Military Commission will of course pay attention to it. At the same time, it has also issued instructions to the Guangzhou Military Region.

The old major general came to Phoenix Group to force Liang Xiaoli to return to Guangzhou Military Region. Now Lu Shaohua happened to be here too, so of course he had to tell Lu Shaohua. After all, Lu Shaohua was also a general, so it was necessary to tell him.

"..." Lu Shaohua didn't rush to say anything, but said with some embarrassment, "The spy was taken back to Phoenix Base by someone."

It's not that Lu Shaohua was unwilling to let the military intervene, but Lu Shaohua wanted to find out whether Liang Xiaoli was targeting the military or the Phoenix Group. If she was targeting the Phoenix Group, Chen Guobang would interrogate the organization behind the scenes and then destroy it in one fell swoop.

If it was aimed at the military, then it had nothing to do with Lu Shaohua, so Lu Shaohua could ignore it. Of course, there was another important question, which was whether Liang Xiaoli had stolen for the first time or had done it many times before. This question was also something Lu Shaohua was eager to know.

If the person was sent to the military district, there would probably be an extra link, and it would be very troublesome for the military to interrogate him and then send him over. This was something Lu Shaohua did not want to see. After all, Chen Guobang and his team's interrogation methods were no worse than those of the military district, and they were fully capable of interrogating the person.

"Is that so..." The old major general sighed, and then said, "Then I will go to Phoenix Base to lead the people?"

Of course, we have to get Lu Shaohua's consent on Lu Shaohua's territory, otherwise it would be very disrespectful to Lu Shaohua, which would be very unreasonable. The old major general knew this truth very well, so he asked Lu Shaohua for someone in an inquiring tone.

"Okay..." Lu Shaohua deliberately dragged out the tone and paused before continuing. "However, I want to interrogate him first, and then hand him over to the military district after I have interrogated him here."

Lu Shaohua's tone at the end was a bit tough, and the meaning was self-evident. He was not seeking the old major general's opinion, but it was unquestionable and certain, and there was no possibility of bargaining.

Originally the old major general was a little embarrassed, but when he heard Lu Shaohua's firm tone, and considering that this matter was related to commercial espionage, the old major general swallowed the words that wanted to refuse, thought about it carefully, and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, so he nodded to show his agreement.

The old man agreed, and Lu Shaohua had nothing to say. He smiled and said, "Then go to Phoenix Base. I will call and inform them."

Since everyone had agreed, Lu Shaohua had nothing more to say. Seeing that they were quite anxious, Lu Shaohua didn't want to keep them any longer, and he himself didn't want to go to the Phoenix Base. Of course, there was nothing more to say, so he stood up to see them off.
