Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 279, Special Forces? Tensions surrounding the establishment of a firearms research and development department
In early March 1965, inside a large conference room in the Lingjing Hutong compound in Beijing, Zhao Mancang looked at Qiu Qicheng and the other two in astonishment, his eyes widening.

"What do you mean I know? How does it have anything to do with me? I don't know anything. Don't talk nonsense. If I knew, why would I ask you?"

To be honest, he was not acting, he really didn't know about this.

Just when Qiu Qicheng and the other three were about to say something, the leader arrived and the meeting officially began. It was not until this time that Zhao Mancang knew what was going on.

It turns out that the higher-ups already have an idea to reform the army and want to cut some soldiers while forming a new special forces unit. Of course, this is just an idea at the moment, and what to do specifically still needs careful consideration.

The purpose of the current meeting is more to solicit everyone's opinions and see if there are any feasible solutions.

Zhao Mancang suddenly realized. He didn't expect that the leaders had thought so far ahead. Special forces are nothing new. We have them now, but those special forces are really just children playing house. Except for the soldiers' personal physical fitness, other aspects are not so good.

Not to mention anything else, the sniper rifle used by the special forces snipers is actually a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. Can you believe it?

The effective range of the 56.5mm rifle is 400 meters, and an excellent shooter can reach 600 meters. Concentrated fire can kill enemies gathered within 800 meters.

However, foreign special forces use very good professional sniper rifles with an effective range of more than one thousand meters. How the hell can you compare?
Apart from sniper rifles, the firearms of the firepower personnel cannot be compared with those of foreign special forces, because some soldiers have now been equipped with Type 63 automatic rifles, but this rifle has fatal flaws.

For example, the Type 63 automatic rifle has very large recoil and severe muzzle jump in automatic shooting mode. Soldiers can hardly control it when firing in full-automatic mode, resulting in a significant drop in shooting accuracy and an inability to effectively suppress enemy firepower.

This is clearly an automatic rifle that we independently developed, and it can be used as a fire coverage weapon, but the result is like this. It's definitely not good enough.

As the leader of the Jiaolong Army, how could Zhao Mancang not know these problems?
However, the three teams of the Jiaolong Army generally do not use the Type 16 family barrel firearms and the Type 47 automatic rifles, because they all need to perform missions abroad, so they all use M series rifles, or AK and other firearms. In short, the firearms they use are all international brands, not our domestic firearms.

"Comrade Mancang, your Jiaolong Army can be said to be the representative of our active special forces, and you often come into contact with foreign special forces. I believe you have a lot to say about the issue of forming special forces. Let me tell you."

Zhao Mancang was startled when his leader called out his name. He then smiled wryly and nodded, saying:

"Leaders, the conditions for forming a special forces unit are not yet fully mature. Our current weapons and equipment are insufficient. Furthermore, it will take three to five years, or even longer, to successfully establish a special forces unit."

"The emergence of the Jiaolong Army can be said to be a special case. All members are top soldiers from various units, and then they are selected through collective training and assessment. However, the members of the Jiaolong Army are still not qualified as special forces."

hiss!
When Qiu Qicheng, Chen Guiqiang, Feng Zixin and others heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, especially Feng Zixin and the others, who bit their back teeth to pieces: You are really good at pretending!

If the Jiaolong Army cannot be considered a special forces unit, then what kind of troops can be called special forces units?

Wow, Zhao Mancang is really good at pretending!
I don’t submit to the wall, I only submit to Zhao Mancang!

"Comrade Zhao Mancang, what do you think a qualified special forces unit should be like?" Qiu Qicheng couldn't help but ask. When the other leaders heard this, their eyes lit up. Yes, then what kind of special forces unit is qualified?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang was not annoyed that the other party interrupted him. After all, they were old acquaintances, and the other party was also his leader.

"In my opinion, a special forces unit should be equipped with tanks, helicopters, transport planes, sniper rifles, high-powered assault rifles, and other equipment. All members should be able to operate tanks, helicopters, and other equipment with ease. Furthermore, each team should be equipped with a chief physician to provide rapid treatment and minimize casualties in the event of an injury."

When Feng Zixin and others heard this, their eyes widened instantly, their pupils filled with surprise.

If what he said is true, then the Jiaolong Army cannot be considered a qualified special forces unit, because the Jiaolong Army cannot even make all its members able to drive helicopters, tanks and other equipment.

Take the second team for example. Lu Yaowei and Yang Chunjiang are the captain and deputy captain, and there are also Zhou Deyong, Zhao Junpeng, Ding Zhikang and others. Few of these team members can skillfully drive helicopters, tanks and other weapons.

People like Lu Yaowei excel in physical fitness, camouflage, language skills, shooting talent, etc., but they are really unable to skillfully operate various types of equipment, not to mention that each team must be equipped with a professional doctor.

Because the doctor Zhao Mancang was talking about was a chief physician. This level of doctor is the highest level even in a hospital.

Although Zhao Mancang has not yet said how many people are in a team and how many teams the special forces need, everyone knows that it is probably not a small number. In other words, there will definitely be a large number of chief physicians needed.

"Of course, such a special forces unit is probably not that easy to establish. However, I believe that our early special forces construction should focus on individual combat effectiveness, and let the firearms research and development department research high-precision sniper rifles with longer range."

As soon as Zhao Mancang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Feng Zixin:

"Comrade Mancang, don't think I don't know. My unit has a reconnaissance battalion. It's a Type A division's reconnaissance battalion, and the individual combat capabilities are definitely not bad. If you say so, doesn't that mean our reconnaissance battalion can also be directly transformed into a special forces unit?"

"Old Feng, you're wrong. I just said that the early stage of construction needs to focus on cultivating individual combat effectiveness, but the current reconnaissance battalions or special forces companies are too weak. It's not that their physical fitness is not good, but their weapons and equipment are rubbish, and the supply of troops is also rubbish."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qiu Qicheng, who was in charge of logistics, suddenly felt dizzy and his face instantly became extremely ugly. Could it be that Zhao Mancang's words were directed at him?

But before Qiu Qicheng could open his mouth, another leader had already spoken for him:
"Comrade Mancang, what exactly do you think the special forces' supplies are like?"

"Leader, I've already said that according to foreign standards, we shouldn't be too ambitious. Let's just focus on the present. We should train special forces with extremely high individual combat effectiveness. This alone requires soldiers to have extremely high military literacy and cultural levels."

Zhao Mancang spread his hands and said:
"All special forces members must be at least university graduates. This is the minimum standard. In addition to the driving skills I mentioned earlier, they also need to have strong mental qualities and physical fitness far exceeding that of ordinary soldiers."

"Take myself as an example. I was able to survive without any logistical support, was skilled in disguise, broke through the enemy's blockade and escaped, and even inflicted greater damage on the enemy."

"I can run 15 kilometers in one go while carrying over 50 kilograms, and then severely inflict heavy damage on a team of over 30 people."

"In reality, a special forces soldier like me still doesn't qualify because I haven't received more rigorous training, nor have I assassinated enemy commanders like a spy."

"A true special forces unit, each combat team is a sharp knife, just like how a team from our Jiaolong Army was able to take out the heavily guarded Sam Military Base on Mindanao Island. If the Jiaolong Army were fully equipped, subjected to more rigorous training, and provided with a more powerful attack, and each team was equipped with a chief physician, and all of them were highly educated and mentally strong warriors who could drive all kinds of vehicles, then this would be a true team of top soldiers!"

After hearing this, Qiu Qicheng and others had a deeper understanding of the special forces, but they became more confused the more they listened.

Feng Zixin heard this and quickly shook his head:

"That's impossible! How could there be such a formidable soldier? Every one of our university students is a treasure to every unit. How could we possibly allow them to go to the battlefield?"

It is 1965 now, not 2025. Not to mention college students, even high school students are like treasures in the army.

There are too many military leaders at the level of company commander, battalion commander and above who do not have a high school education, and many do not even have an elementary school diploma, but these do not prevent them from becoming the elite of the army.

Except for the leader in the middle, everyone including Chen Guiqiang did not believe what Zhao Mancang said, because it was too far-fetched, and who would not want such an elite force?
"Impossible?" Zhao Mancang laughed and said:
"Nothing is impossible. And the leader asked me to talk about special forces. That's what I'm thinking, because only by doing so can we survive in the more complex and volatile environment of the future."

"Every member of the special forces is a sniper. To take out a valuable target, a sniper can remain in a hidden spot for forty-eight hours or even longer. A single fire support operator can deliver the firepower of an entire squad, so they need to be equipped with assault rifles capable of continuous, high-speed fire and high accuracy. Furthermore, the chief physician must possess exceptional combat capabilities, able to perform emergency surgery on the battlefield while fighting."

"Individual combat capabilities are also capable of defeating the enemy with a single blow. In the absence of weapons, they can use common daily necessities such as sugar, soap, and laundry detergent to make explosives. They need to learn more than just ground reconnaissance, and be able to do anything, whether in the air or on the ground."

"But even such an army can only last for about thirty years. After thirty years, the way of fighting will definitely be different."

Zhao Mancang didn't hesitate and said everything he was thinking at once. At this time, Qiu Qicheng and others were completely stunned.

If there really is such an awesome special forces unit, it would definitely be a treasure in the hearts of all the leaders present.

It was at this time that the leader spoke:

"Comrade Mancang, let's not talk about things that are too far away. Let's talk about how to build a special forces unit. First, it starts with the selection and assessment, and then there are the snipers, fire support personnel, chief physicians, and soldiers with strong combat abilities that you mentioned."

The leader spoke, and Zhao Mancang nodded without saying anything else.

Next it was time for other leaders such as Qiu Qicheng to speak. Everyone spoke freely and analyzed what Zhao Mancang had just mentioned one by one, and then summarized them.

Although the special forces described by Zhao Mancang are very powerful and can do everything, some skills can be cultivated now, such as individual combat ability, snipers and doctors.

There are other parts, which are the logistics and supply issues, so the pressure is on Qiu Qicheng, but he is only responsible for logistics, not for making money.

So after going around in circles, we finally come back to the issue of money.

Suddenly, Chen Guiqiang suddenly realized something and said, "Mancang, why did you set up Jiaolong School? I'm afraid you've been thinking about this before, right?"

When the other leaders heard this, they also looked at Zhao Mancang in surprise, but when they thought of the Jiaolong Army, everyone understood. After all, although the Jiaolong Army was not the real special forces as Zhao Mancang said, in fact, in everyone's eyes, this was the special forces.

"That's right. Jiaolong School was established, in large part, for special forces. That's why we selected suitable elementary school students from all over the country. Rural children are naturally gifted with exceptional mental abilities. Furthermore, their ability to maintain a passion for learning and a certain level of talent despite such poverty and backwardness speaks volumes about their potential."

"When Jiaolong School first started recruiting students, I went along to check it out. Many rural students, in the freezing cold, not only had to get up early every day to do chores like washing clothes and cooking, but they also had to leave the house at 5 or 6 in the morning, wearing straw sandals, and walk seven or eight kilometers up the mountain to get to school."

"These are natural-born warriors. Before they enter junior high school, we'll enroll them in Jiaolong School for more detailed training. If they have a higher talent for scientific research, we'll have them attend the Longxing Research Institute. If they have stronger overall qualities, we'll have them participate in the Jiaolong Army selection and assessment. The rest will have no choice but to go to the Tenglong Factory."

Zhao Mancang's words made Feng Zixin and the others' eyes tear up, because this was the first time everyone heard his plans for the students of Jiaolong School.

If this meeting had not been held today, no one would have thought much about it. After all, there are many schools across the country, and the elite soldiers are selected from local troops.

Now, Zhao Mancang has better and more comprehensive candidates.

"Mancang, I'm going to place an order with you right now. I want the students from your Jiaolong School. You can't just throw them all away at the Tenglong Factory."

"Right, right, right, Comrade Mancang, you can't be partial. You have to leave some talent for us."

"I want to make a reservation too. Jiaolong School, right? I'll go check it out someday. It's such a great place for talent development, I can't miss it."

At once, several leaders spoke up, causing the other leaders to burst out laughing, and Zhao Mancang was even more at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

How long had the first batch of students at Jiaolong School been enrolled? It was still a long time before they could actually graduate, and even if they did, Zhao Mancang thought there would be more talented people by then.

After chatting for a while, the topic of the meeting turned to weapons and equipment, that is, how to develop and what kind of weapons should be developed?
Zhao Mancang took the initiative to express his opinion:

"The Type 63 automatic rifle is definitely not suitable. The magazine only holds twenty rounds. While it can fire both single and continuous shots, the continuous firing is not only ineffective, but also has greatly reduced accuracy. Soldiers simply cannot control it. It is definitely not suitable as a single-person weapon for special forces."

"Special forces, in particular, definitely need a weapon with exceptional performance to avoid placing even greater logistical pressure on the soldiers."

"How about this, Commander? I'll have the Longxing Research Institute set up a firearms research and development department. Once that department is established, we'll begin research. Some of our Jiaolong Army personnel have already retired. Some of them are instructors at the Jiaolong School, and some are working in the transport corps. We can have them participate in firearms research and development."

"I have two ideas. One is to develop a high-precision sniper rifle with a range of over 1,200 meters. The other is an assault rifle with high accuracy, continuous high-speed firing, and low recoil. Of course, the performance of both firearms must meet the standards of special forces."

"In fact, when our Longxing Research Institute came up with the bulletproof vest product, we had already developed aramid fiber. At that time, we already had the idea of ​​developing carbon fiber. Especially in the process of developing drones, we have already established a carbon fiber project. At that time, carbon fiber can be used on drones, and we can also try to make carbon fiber gun barrels."

"We all know that carbon fiber is a lightweight yet excellent new material. I believe it will also perform even better in gun barrels."

"However, if we really want to set up a firearms research and development department, we will need your approval. We will need more funds and more personnel."

Upon hearing this, the leader nodded immediately and said with a smile that he looked forward to you coming up with a suitable product as soon as possible.

The meeting was almost over. Zhao Mancang walked out of Lingjing Hutong and just got into the car when Qiu Qicheng and Feng Zixin followed him in. Chen Guiqiang originally wanted to get in, but there was no seat left because Zhao Mancang did not drive here himself today.

Someone in Zhao Mancang's position should be equipped with guards, but the guards were just decorations. Today, he was finally caught by the guards, so they sent Zhao Mancang over here.

"Young comrade, go to Jiaolong School, don't go back to Guozi Lane!" Qiu Qicheng said to the guard in the driver's seat, and then he couldn't wait to say to Zhao Mancang:

"Mancang, you need to explain to me what we should do next. The pressure on logistics is too great. We're short of money here and there, and yet you're still so generous. All the money you earn is subsidized to your dragons."

Upon hearing this, the latter couldn't help but laugh happily and said:
"It's our own money, so isn't it normal to spend it on our dragons? If it were spent on other things, that would be strange."

However, Qiu Qicheng didn't care about that. He just wanted Zhao Mancang to give him some advice. If the special forces were really established, what should be done about the logistical pressure?
"Honestly, Old Qiu, you definitely can't ask me this. Besides, no one knows who the person in charge of the special forces is. Otherwise, you can just go find this person directly."

"Oh, yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Qiu Qicheng suddenly exclaimed, startled and frightened, not acting like a leader at all. There was no other way. Qiu Qicheng had only graduated from junior high school, which was considered quite good in those days. Even so, he wouldn't have any qualities, and what was there to talk about with him?

"If you were the leader of this special forces unit, wouldn't it be a perfect solution?"

Zhao Mancang was stunned when these words came out, but Feng Zixin became furious:
"No, Old Qiu, this is definitely not right. Why should Mancang be the leader of the special forces? Why can't I be incompetent?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Qicheng looked up and down at Feng Zixin who was sitting in the passenger seat, and said with a curled lip:
"Forget it. What kind of power can your Type A Division have? Its combat effectiveness is average. Besides the advantage of numbers, what other advantages do you have? Even if you have more people, the organization managed by Mancang has more people. Besides, the Jiaolong Army is a special forces unit. Aren't they better than you?"

This makes sense. After all, Zhao Mancang is very strong and has excellent management skills. What's more, the achievements of the Jiaolong Army are obvious to all. Of course, he is more capable and qualified to be the leader of this special forces.

In fact, in Qiu Qicheng's opinion, perhaps the reason why the higher-ups wanted to form a special forces was because the existence of the Jiaolong Army gave the leaders a lot of room for imagination.

Perhaps by then the Jiaolong Army could be expanded directly and turned into a special forces unit, instead of having only three teams with only sixty people as it is now.

"Damn, can't you comfort me? What nonsense are you talking about?" Feng Zixin suddenly became withdrawn. Zhao Mancang and Qiu Qicheng burst into laughter, while the guard's face turned red with laughter.

"Mancang, then it's settled. Phew, as long as you're the leader, hehe, then I won't have to worry."

Zhao Mancang shook his head upon hearing this. "What do you mean it's settled? Did I promise you? Besides, even if I did, it wouldn't matter. We have to see how the higher-ups arrange it. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's still early, and we don't have a lot of weapons and equipment right now. The logistics pressure is also huge. The quality of the special forces personnel is not very good, so there is no place to choose from. We can only take it slowly."

In Zhao Mancang's opinion, members of the special forces must have undergraduate degrees. Otherwise, if their cultural level is not high, it will not be a good thing for the special forces themselves.

Of course, we have to take it step by step, and we have to wait for approval from above.

At Jiaolong School, Zhao Mancang accompanied Qiu Qicheng and Feng Zixin on a tour, and then they went their separate ways.

During the inspection, they kept praising Zhao Mancang for his foresight and for starting to select talents in this area so early.

You should know that Jiaolong School was established in April 1962, and the first batch of students was enrolled in September of that year. So by July this year, the first batch of students had already studied in Jiaolong School for three years.

Once the three years are up, the formal class division will begin, because at this time, people must be divided into two groups. One group is people with extremely strong physical fitness, and they need to be selected from the best and allowed to enter the rocket class, experimental class, etc.

Because in fact, Zhao Mancang had already made detailed plans for the future Jiaolong Army, which must be a special force among special forces.

The firearms currently used by the Jiaolong Army have completely surpassed those of the reconnaissance battalion that Feng Zixin mentioned. Whether it is sniper rifles or high-powered assault rifles, the Jiaolong Army has long been accustomed to them.

And these are just the most basic individual combat skills, including language, camouflage ability, strong cultural level, excellent psychological quality, etc. At present, what is still lacking is the driving skills of various fighter jets, helicopters and transport planes, doctors at the level of chief physicians, cultural level above university bachelor's degree, and fighting ability to defeat the enemy with one move.

Even for the Jiaolong Army, if they want to meet the above conditions, they need a long period of precipitation and training, because the cultural level of the three existing Jiaolong Army teams is very different, not to mention the level of chief physicians.

The second is the fighter jet driving skills, which is more difficult.

Therefore, the first batch of students at Jiaolong School must be divided into classes after July this year and enter the so-called "three years of high school". During these three years, not only are these students required to have a solid cultural foundation, but they are also required to have stronger physical qualities.

Of course, even if they are in ordinary classes, they still have the opportunity to enter the rocket class, and all this requires hard work.

After returning to Guozi Lane from Jiaolong School, Wei Huayong came forward to ask about today's meeting. Zhao Mancang chatted briefly with him. At this time, someone came to report that Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company continued to deliver a large amount of goods.

Both Zhao Mancang and Wei Huayong were very surprised. Are the sales of home appliances abroad so hot?
"Old Wei, notify Xu Wenrong now and ask him to arrange the shipment as soon as possible. Also, help me call a meeting!"

Half an hour later, Gu Haidong, Wei Huayong, Xu Wenrong, Feng Zuzheng, Tian Dewang and others all came to the Guozi Lane office for a meeting. Among them, Gu Haidong originally wanted to discuss work with Zhao Mancang, but was then pulled over by the latter to attend the meeting.

"Old Wei, let me first inform everyone about the supply application sent by Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company." Zhao Mancang personally presided over the meeting, so he asked Wei Huayong to inform everyone of the specific situation at the beginning.

"Just now, we received a supply request from Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company. Last month, our Tenglong factory exported 50,000 home appliances, but as of the time of the shipment request, only 5,000 units remain."

"Perhaps you don't know what this data means, because according to current conditions, the overseas market can sell an average of more than 2,000 devices per day, with televisions being the most popular."

Before Wei Huayong finished speaking, Gu Haidong and others widened their eyes, because they knew very well what this meant.

Being able to sell more than 2,000 devices every day is enough to prove that the low-price strategy mentioned by Zhao Mancang earlier was successful.

It’s not that foreigners don’t like cheap goods, but they originally had no other choices, but now they have more choices, so consumers vote with their feet.

Even with such low-priced products, there is still a lot of profit margin for Tamron factory.

Although Gu Haidong and his team didn't know how Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company sold its products, it was enough for them to get the foreign exchange back.

Earning foreign exchange is the most important task at present, because national development cannot be separated from foreign exchange in all aspects.

"Everyone heard clearly, didn't I need to repeat myself? Therefore, the Tamron factory must immediately expand, adding five production lines for each product. We must complete this task on time and with high quality to ensure that our supply schedule can keep up."

Zhao Mancang directly issued the order:

"We are now implementing a two-shift strategy and redeploying staff from other units to address the current capacity shortage."

"Secondly, we must recruit enough employees over the next period of time, prioritizing high school students."

"Also, Jiaolong School can also allow students to come and help, but only on Sundays, on a voluntary basis, and without interfering with their studies."

The last one, however, was opposed by Gu Haidong, because in his opinion, students of Jiaolong School should focus on their studies, and leave production matters to the production workers.

Anyway, the capital city lacks everything except people.

If it really doesn't work, those high school students who have already gone to the countryside can be recruited back and put into the Tamron factory to deal with the current problem of insufficient production capacity.

The meeting lasted for ten minutes and then ended quickly.

In fact, if Zhao Mancang was not afraid of trouble, he could have notified them directly. Why would there be a need to hold a meeting?

Speaking of which, Zhao Mancang hates meetings the most, especially those that have no meaning and are purely for the leader's personal performance. He doesn't want to attend any of them at all.

Although he himself is a leader, the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization has never held a meeting for all its staff, and the heads of various departments rarely hold meetings together.

Not long after the meeting ended, the phone in the office rang. The call was from Lingjing Hutong, notifying Zhao Mancang to come over.

He didn't say what he was going to do, but in Zhao Mancang's opinion, maybe something big had happened.

However, when he arrived at the office in the compound, he saw two leaders asking him about Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company's request to increase supply.

"Do you know how our Tamron factory's sales are doing overseas? Why are they selling so well? Is there any specific reason?"

Zhao Mancang was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that his leader would actually care about this matter. But after thinking about it, he felt relieved.

The telegram notification from Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company to increase the supply volume is of great significance. It means that our Dongda’s industrial products have been recognized by foreign consumers, which is of course a very good thing.

And judging from the feedback on the telegram, this is probably not just recognition, but also consumers' pursuit and love for these products.

Otherwise, how could such a large quantity be needed?

"Of course, sir, you know this without me asking, because I've already said before that the low-price strategy is a very effective strategy. No one dislikes good quality and low prices. In capitalist countries, the poor still make up the majority."

The boss was very happy to hear this and asked if we could sell other products, such as cars.
The current leadership has a certain degree of confidence in exporting industrial products. Because of the Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company, Dongda can now export bulletproof vests, Type 53 rifles, air conditioners, televisions and other products. The industrial added value of such products is quite high, which can enable Dongda to earn a lot of trade surplus.

But at the same time, Todai also exports clothes, canned food, daily necessities, etc. However, the added value of these commodities is not high. The leaders want to expand the proportion of exports of high industrial value-added products rather than clothes and daily necessities.

Hearing the leader's question, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Boss, cars aren't very good. We don't have a technological advantage over foreigners. If we rashly export cars, we won't gain any advantage. On the contrary, we will be easily exposed."

"Secondly, apart from cars, we currently have very few products to export. Of course, I am actively looking for ways to export as many products as possible to increase our income."

"The lithography machine R&D center we established at our Tamron factory last year was actually in preparation for this. Leaders, you should still remember the price of lithography machines, right? This is a high-tech product, a production tool for chips, and chips are the most important core components of integrated computers."

"In the future, we may have the opportunity to export products such as chips, lithography machines, and computers, but we are not able to do so at this stage. Of course, in the short term, we can consider improving the production technology of our other products."

He just had to fool people, and fool them as much as he could, because the leaders had already whetted their appetite. The hot sales of air conditioners, televisions, refrigerators and other products at Sam's Club greatly stimulated the leaders.

This gave them the illusion that Todai's industrial strength had caught up.

The products Zhao Mancang mentioned, such as cars, airplanes, computers, and even many other products such as ships, can all be exported, but this must be based on the fact that Dongda is already able to produce such products at high quality and low prices. Otherwise, everything will be just a dream.

After discussing these, the leader asked Zhao Mancang about the research and development of high-precision, continuous-shooting firearms. The latter said that he was planning to set up a research and development department.

Half an hour later, Zhao Mancang finally walked out of the Lingjing Hutong compound. Thinking about what his leader had talked to him about today, he couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

The leaders are also anxious. There are probably too many places where money is needed, so they can't help but be anxious.

In the following period of time, Zhao Mancang has been following up on related work, promoting the development of lithography machines, the establishment of a firearms research and development department, the improvement of drones, etc. These tasks are not easy and require him to pay more attention.

Time has unknowingly entered April. It seems that time has passed faster this year, but as it is getting closer to 1966, Zhao Mancang's mood is not so good.

Zhao Huijun is already eleven years old and will be in sixth grade in the second half of the year. In other words, when she goes to junior high school next year, it will be difficult for her to concentrate on her studies.

Ugh!
Perhaps at that time he would have no choice but to send Zhao Huijun to Jiaolong School. He hoped that Zhao Mancang would be able to keep Jiaolong School, otherwise, it would be really troublesome.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became nervous again, then returned to the Guozi Lane office, found the relevant information, looked through it and confirmed the current export share.

The export of the four major products, air conditioners, refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines, has reached 80,000 units per month. The cost of these products is not high. Based on the average profit of US$60 for each product, the monthly profit is US$4.8 million.

However, Zhao Mancang could not be sure whether he could export such a high number of 80,000 units every month. After all, the market would eventually become saturated, and it would be difficult unless new technological products were introduced.

Once the income is no longer that high, the leaders may not consider it so much next year, because although Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization seems to earn a lot, its expenses are also not small.

Therefore, when thinking of this, Zhao Mancang felt a strong sense of nervousness.

He can't possibly send Zhao Huijun to Hong Kong Island to study next year, right?

Not realistic!
In the past, he did want to send his children to Hong Kong Island for education, and he had even built a house at Villa No. 66 in Deep Water Bay. But now it seems that he cannot arrange for his children to live here directly.

So he had to find a way and continue to move forward to increase the export volume of the Tenglong factory, increase its revenue, and increase the status of the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization in the minds of the leaders.

But the question now is, what kind of product has simple technology, can be popular abroad, and can make a lot of money?

However, before Zhao Mancang could figure out the matter, the Hong Kong branch of Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company sent back an urgent telegram: The third squadron of the Jiaolong Army had an accident while performing a mission overseas, three people died and four were injured!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" When Wei Huayong saw the telegram, he stood up in shock with an expression of disbelief.

Zhao Mancang's face instantly turned gloomy, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

(End of this chapter)
