The factory director has a new skill every day, which has broken down the strategic deception bureau

Go to Shenzhen?

"Chief, you are...?"

Lin Zhenbang explained simply: "First of all, the product itself is not in violation of regulations. Zhenxing Industry and Trade's batch of RPG fire extinguishers are registered as standard civil fire protection products, and the entire process of raw materials, production, and foreign trade customs declaration is compliant."

"Therefore... we cannot rashly punish the company..."

"Secondly, the letter of thanks from the Russian leader must be strictly controlled, its dissemination on foreign websites must be prohibited, official connections must be severed, and the bottom line of diplomacy must be maintained."

"However, the source of the risk must be nipped in the bud."

"The product range of this Zhenxing Industry and Trade company is too high, and its technology spillover capabilities are too strong. If production is not controlled, it will only cause more and more international troubles."

Finally, Lin Zhenbang placed his hands on the table and made a final decision: "In order to prevent this international public opinion from continuing to escalate and to avoid the subsequent revitalization of industry and trade, the outflow of similar high-risk products, and the occurrence of another outrageous incident."

"Therefore, I think it is necessary to send someone to Shenzhen to meet with Director Lin in person."

"And while you're at it, clean up this mess right here in front of us."

At this moment, an officer wearing the shoulder insignia of a major general quickly stepped forward, his tone clearly showing concern: "But, Director, our department has always been a highly secretive department."

"The outside world has no idea we exist!"

"Since the establishment of the department, we have been working behind the scenes to coordinate national public opinion risk control and handle hidden foreign-related crises."

"Never makes public appearances, does not connect with local businesses, and does not participate in overt affairs."

"If we personally show up in Shenzhen, our carefully cultivated secret identity will be completely exposed, and all subsequent behind-the-scenes coordination will be paralyzed!"

This statement pinpointed the most critical constraint, and all the senior executives present nodded in agreement.

Lin Zhenbang has been in charge of this special and secretive department for many years, and has handled countless thorny incidents that could easily trigger diplomatic storms and public opinion storms in the military industry.

They relied on remaining completely invisible and operating from behind the scenes.

Once they make a public appearance, the entire department's covert operations system will completely collapse.

"I forgot about that..."

After pondering for a full half minute, Lin Zhenbang's eyes flashed with a decisive look, and he slowly said, "It seems that we can only let Lao Zhang step in for us."

"Understood! Okay, I'll call Comrade Zhang Shaozhong right away!"

……

at the same time.

In the western suburbs of Beijing, there is a quiet, unassuming, detached residential compound.

The interior was not luxuriously decorated; the furnishings were simple and unpretentious.

The office bookshelves are filled with various military archives and files analyzing the international situation.

Zhang Shaozhong, the nominal director of the Strategic Deception Bureau, was lounging on the sofa, holding a thermos cup and staring at the wall-mounted TV.

The television was broadcasting breaking news about the Russian battlefield.

The camera repeatedly replayed footage of the white mushroom cloud at the front lines and actual combat footage of RPG special fire extinguishers.

The news anchor spoke at breakneck speed as he recounted the entire process of the press conference and the G7 sanctions.

The casual look on Zhang Shaozhong's face had long since vanished, his brows furrowed tightly, his expression unusually serious, keenly sensing that something was amiss.

He has been deeply involved in strategic deception, military industry public opinion analysis, and risk control of special private industries for decades.

Having seen countless cutting-edge military technologies and special battlefield equipment, his insight is far sharper than that of ordinary industry leaders.

"How can a civilian fire extinguisher have such great battlefield power?"

"A 2,500-degree Celsius cloud burst with destructive power, and a 2-kilometer precision-guided range?"

"This is impossible..."

"The parameters of conventional civilian fire-fighting equipment are clearly defined by national industry standards, and it is simply impossible for them to be equipped with military-grade guided and thermobaric detonation modules."

"There must be something shady going on here. Someone has been transferring military technology to civilian product lines without any regard for ethical boundaries."

The news footage deliberately omitted the equipment's place of origin and manufacturer's logo.

Most netizens on the internet are just watching the spectacle and can't see the clues.

But as the head of the Strategic Deception Bureau, Zhang Shaozhong immediately sensed something amiss about the whole thing.

Could it be the revitalization of industry and trade in Shenzhen?

From internet-famous drones being exported to the battlefield, to the Iron Egg robot dog being requisitioned by the military, to inflatable hand warmers changing battlefield tactics.

This factory always seems to cross the line between military and civilian interests whenever it tries to break out of its niche.

Now even fire extinguishers can turn the tide of international wars, clearly indicating that the industry has crossed a red line.

Just then, an unmarked, encrypted landline phone rang.

Zhang Shaozhong glanced at the caller ID, his expression turned serious, and he immediately answered the phone, speaking respectfully: "Hello, old squad leader."

Lin Zhenbang's steady, tired voice came from the other end of the phone. Without any pleasantries, he went straight to the point: "I won't bother with formalities. There's something I need you to do in Shenzhen."

"I bet it's related to international news?" Zhang Shaozhong chuckled, his expression turning serious. "Squad leader, what do you need me to do?"

Lin Zhenbang briefly recounted the current international public opinion crisis and the potential problems with the official letter of thanks from the Russian government, explaining the current predicament of being caught between a rock and a hard place.

"Old Zhang, there are only three objectives for this trip."

"First, you must travel in your personal capacity throughout the entire trip and absolutely cannot reveal the existence of our secret department."

"We cannot allow Lin Tian, ​​local authorities, or even foreign forces to detect any trace of our behind-the-scenes manipulation."

"Second, give a direct reprimand and warning to Lin Tian, ​​the factory manager of Zhenxing Industrial and Trade Factory."

"Third, draw a clear red line for production."

"Civilian high-tech products can be produced normally and traded in compliance with regulations, so there is no problem in supporting the development of private enterprises."

"But you absolutely cannot cross the line!"

"It is strictly forbidden to continue to transfer military-grade lethal technologies to civilian products indiscriminately, and to prevent high-risk products from flowing into the international battlefield again, which could trigger even greater diplomatic and military public opinion storms."

Zhang Shaozhong nodded knowingly, his tone crisp and firm: "Understood, I know what to do."

"You've worked hard. You're the only one suitable to handle this." Lin Zhenbang's tone softened as he instructed, "Set off tonight, keep a low profile, and don't alert the local military or fire departments."

"receive."

After briefly hanging up the encrypted call, Zhang Shaozhong quickly packed a change of clothes and drove straight to Beijing Capital International Airport.

The airport was sparsely populated late at night.

Zhang Shaozhong used the internal VIP express channel to directly board the next available overnight business flight to Shenzhen.

……

at this time.

Thousands of miles away, Shenzhen is revitalizing its industry and trade.

The factory has resumed its busy production schedule, with the assembly lines brightly lit at night and the machines humming continuously.

National security and special forces personnel remain stationed around the factory area, strictly preventing outsiders from approaching.

All employees in the factory are working overtime to meet deadlines.

After several of his products were requisitioned and placed under military control, Lin Tian focused all his energy on developing a brand-new civilian fireworks product line.

This time, Lin Tian is going to sell fireworks all over the world!
