The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

"Military Area, No Entry"

This sign has been erected in front of the north gate.

In the past, those who tried to steal coal from coal cars would jump off here when the train slowed down and entered the factory.

Since the patrol team was formed, it has struck hard and caught some careless people. The security environment at the North Gate has improved a lot.

At least, there were no more burlap bags of coal being thrown down from the carriage.

At that time, they were unscrupulous because if they caught someone stealing coal, the police would just lock him up for a month or so at most and then release him. Now the situation is stricter because those are called military supplies.

Li Feng stood on the platform, looking at the wall in the distance. There, masters who had climbed to the top of the wall with a ladder were installing barbed wire.

After the bracket is fixed on the wall, it is tilted forty-five degrees toward the outside of the wall. You must be careful when installing the three-layer wire mesh. The caltrops on it will scratch your flesh and leave bloody marks, not to mention your clothes.

"Liu Guangqi is quite capable. After installing it, the patrol team's mission will be much easier~!"

Mr. Shen, who was standing next to Li Feng, also saw this scene and gave his own evaluation. In recent years, the steel rolling mill has caught too many people climbing over the walls, stealing some scrap parts and waste materials and selling them secretly.

Nowadays, those who collect waste are all government-owned, and they cannot impose fines and closures as they did in later generations. Once a waste truck goes to Shijingshan, all evidence will be gone.

"He even designed a certificate to hang around his neck. Otherwise, there would be too many people coming in and out of the South Gate in the morning, and the security department would be worried about someone sneaking in~!"

"That's right. Keeping secrets is to ensure production. In this regard, being rigorous is a good thing~!"

Mr. Shen nodded and agreed to the plan.

After transferring to a military factory, I no longer had to deal with so much disturbance from the outside world, which blocked my way at the factory gate. But another kind of pressure also came with it.

The Red Star Factory is too big and has too many people. If it were the size of a branch factory, with a thousand people, the pressure on the Security Department would not be as great as it is now.

"Once everyone moves to the family quarters, things will get much better~!"

After all, it is somewhat different from the third-line military factories, which are all located in the mountains, far away from the city, and the employees all live in the factories. Now, Li Feng hopes that the family area will be completed as soon as possible.

Even if only half of the people live in the family area, the remaining half can just be given special instructions.

"I heard that there are still more than a dozen exterior and interior walls left. I went to see them. The finished ones are all very beautiful. The workers also want to move in as soon as possible. They all say it's worth it~!"

Mr. Shen laughed when he talked about this. He had no time to go there during this period, mainly because he had his wife and children at home. He liked to go there when he had nothing to do. After all, the money had been paid, and who wouldn't want to receive the goods as soon as possible?

That kind of waiting time is so painful.

"The advantage of prefabricated houses is that the construction progress is fast. If it wasn't the first time our factory built it ourselves, and it took a lot of time to reinforce the load-bearing columns and walls, I guess we would have gotten the house by now~!"

"Director Cai is so upset. After the roof of our family quarters was completed, the prefabricated board factory of the third factory received many requests and the production can't keep up!"

When talking about this, Mr. Shen's eyes narrowed with laughter. Cai Wenshan couldn't see the situation clearly. Li Feng advised him to expand the prefabricated board factory in advance and recruit more people, but at that time, only the steel rolling mill was using prefabricated boards, and he was a bit slow.

But when the steel mill really built the family quarters and outsiders saw the benefits of prefabricated panels, the demand increased and he was so busy that he couldn't even watch TV.

However, now that the Third Branch Factory has been separated, the Red Star Factory can no longer take charge. Whether it is good or bad, they can only rely on themselves from now on.

"Woo woo woo, bang bang, bang bang~!"

While the two were waiting and chatting, the north gate had already been opened and the white steam and smoke coming out of the locomotive could already be seen in the distant sky.

The porters at the freight station also stood up one by one, moving their shoulders, tying the straps on their waists, and some tied the straps on their legs. These measures can effectively protect the waist and prevent varicose veins in the legs.

Although I didn't know what to unload, the factory director and deputy director were both here, so it was always a good idea to prepare in advance. Your body is your own.

The locomotive gradually braking came into view. For these workers, this scene was something they were already used to seeing.

"Ok?"

As the train slowly moved forward, everyone had strange expressions when they saw the cargo on the train flatbed. Even Mr. Shen couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Hey, there are new cars coming to our factory?"

Compared to Mr. Shen who was still hesitating, Jia Haijie on the side had his eyes shining and was drooling as he looked at the several new trucks on the flatbed train.

Why is it so surprising? Because the new trucks on the train flatbed all have flat heads. The long nose of the old Jiefang has disappeared, and there are two more doors at the front of the train.

The first reaction is where the engine went, and the second reaction is that this car is very awkward. Because the carriage is not installed, there is only a bare frame with tires at the back, which looks like an unfinished work.

But Li Feng felt very familiar with it. The appearance of this car was very similar to the one he tried in Morocco. The tires were obviously off-road tires, wide and large.

When you get closer, you can see that the fine rubber fluff on the tires is still there, but there is no sign on the front of the car, and the word "Hongyan" does not appear.

It is impossible to tell which factory produced it. However, to Jia Haijie, none of this matters. What is important is that the Transportation Department has a new car, and it is very new, as if it had just been delivered to the Red Star Factory.

"This, this, this is for our department, finally a new car~!"

Jia Haijie touched the paint of the truck carefully, afraid of scratching the car, and his eyes glowed green.

You know, the oldest truck in the steel rolling mill is the one that Li Feng took over at the beginning. Studebaker has been driving it for more than 20 years. He is about the same age as Li Feng, but he still insists on working despite being sick.

The newest one was allocated after the liberation seven or eight years ago, or after the public-private partnership. It has been a few years since I got a new one. Jia Haijie, who is a car enthusiast, likes this new car very much.

"To be precise, out of these four, only one belongs to the Transportation Department~!"

Li Feng really didn't want to interrupt Jia Haijie's current perverted state, but he had to interrupt him in advance. He knew how good the power of this car was.

If we don't agree on it in advance, once we drive down the car, this guy will be even more reluctant to let go if he feels the surging power.

"what?"

"Four cars, but the Transportation Department only has one. What are you talking about? Secretary Li, you came from the Transportation Department. You can't do this!"

Before the car had even turned a circle, Jia Haijie heard the bad news. The veins on his forehead bulged, showing how excited he was.

"This is specially allocated to our factory by the Political Director. To be more precise, it is given to the driving school so that we can continue to train excellent drivers. If you can dig out a car from the driving school and give it to the Transportation Department, Principal Jiang will beat you if he hears about it~!"

Li Feng knew Jia Haijie's character. He was reluctant to give up the new car. To be precise, he wanted to get as much as possible. But if these four cars could be delivered to him, it would prove that what he said had been verified.

The director had clearly stated at the beginning that if more truck drivers were to be trained, Jia Haijie would be given one to drive. However, that was because he had strong driving skills, and he was unwilling to promote him, so he could only be given a new car to let him try it out.

This sentence completely confused Jia Haijie. It wasn't that Principal Jiang wanted to beat him, but the source of the car made him feel unworthy of it and felt uneasy.

The spitting stopped and the man fell silent. He knew that Li Feng knew a lot of people and his driving school was famous, but he didn't expect that the director would give him a car specifically for him.

"Or, I don't want it anymore. I'll give it all to the driving school. We have to listen to the director~!"

No matter how reluctant he was and how much he liked this car, Jia Haijie had to give it up in the face of major issues. The driving school can let the higher-ups know, which is a good thing for our factory.

"That's what I like about you. Okay, if you say you don't want it, then go back and I'll drive it myself. The gear lever of this car is a little different from our Jiefang~!"

Li Feng nodded. It just so happened that there was one more test vehicle, so Li Feng didn’t think it was too much.

"No, forget it. You are the first secretary and the factory director. You are talking nonsense now. You said you would give me one car..."

Before Jia Haijie could finish his long-winded speech, Li Feng had already taken the car keys, opened the door and got in. Jia Haijie shyly climbed in as well.

"Wow, it's so big inside, I can even lie down and sleep in the back, and the view from the front is really clear too~!"

Compared with the old Jiefang, the cab of the Hongyan off-road heavy truck has much more space. Li Feng looked at the gear mark on the gear handle next to the seat and began to recall.

The old Jiefang's engine was placed in the long nose in front of the car, in the middle of the cab, so there was no bulge. This car is the opposite. It could seat three people in the front row, but now it can only seat two people because of the raised engine cover.

But the back row is more than enough for three people to sit, and without the long nose in front, the field of vision is indeed very wide.

After removing the steel cables tied to the tires and the wooden triangular pads behind the wheels, Li Feng started the vehicle.

The sound of the engine starting made the cab quite noisy. Jia Haijie might have felt that the vehicle had a different power. He drove directly from the train flatbed to the unloading platform, which was very quick and efficient.

The pothole in the middle was easily handled by just stepping on the accelerator. The engine didn't even roar.

Jia Haijie, who was standing next to him, leaned his head towards Li Li and looked very carefully. The gear position on the gear lever was indeed different from that of the old Jiefang, and the position was also different.

Li Feng took Jia Haijie for a drive in the open space of the unloading station. Feeling the push on his back, Jia Haijie's eyes glowed red and his face looked very rosy.

This is, I am too excited. (End of this chapter)
