    Xia Zhongyuan, deputy director of the First Department of the General Staff, was sleeping when he vaguely heard the wake-up call. He subconsciously lifted the sheets, sat up from the bed, and reached for his military uniform and belt.     Snapped!  The light above his head was on, and secretary Xiao Zhao pressed the light switch: "Minister Xia, are you awake?"  Xiao Zhao came over and helped him turn off the bedside audio timer switch.  Xia Zhongyuan was not busy getting up. He just wore a round-neck vest and sat on the bedside. He picked up a green panda cigarette from the bedside table next to him, shook out one and put it in his mouth.  Xiao Zhao picked up a steel-cased lighter, started it on the side and lit it for him. Then he flicked it and made a crisp sound. He casually placed a handicraft ashtray within his reach so that he could easily shake out the ashes.  .  Xia Zhongyuan sat cross-legged on the bed and took a deep breath. A burst of clear and elegant smoke passed through the lungs and then sprayed out from the nasal cavity.  Xiao Zhao glanced at Panda Yan enviously, looked away, and stepped forward to help him fold the sheets.  Xincheng Hotel is the highest-grade hotel in the base area, and it is also a designated hotel for external reception. Except for domestic inspection units, there are no other guests.  Due to the large number of rooms, each member of the General Staff delegation had a single room. The room that Xia Zhongyuan lived in was a high-end business suite, with a master bedroom, an attendant's room, a reception room, a bathroom with a large bathtub, and a bathroom in each room.  There is a separate bathroom.  "Xiao Zhao also lives in the attendant's room next door so that he can be taken care of at any time.  "What, you want to smoke? If you want to smoke, just take it yourself, why are you being polite to me?" Xia Zhongyuan smiled and pushed the cigarette case towards him and said generously.  "No, no, I still like to smoke at the front door. This cigarette smokes smoothly. I won't have to smoke anymore, but don't worry." Xiao Zhao waved his hands repeatedly.  "That's right! Then I won't harm you." Xia Zhongyuan thought about it and stopped insisting. He leaned on the bed, resting his hands on the back of his head, raising his head and smoking his wake-up cigarette comfortably.  Xincheng Hotel claims to be a three-star hotel, but the interior decoration is quite luxurious, and all the furnishings are made of high-grade wood.  The lights alone include various lighting equipment such as the top main light, auxiliary lights, wall lights, etc. If they are all lit up, it will be as bright as day even at night.  Other household appliances such as speakers, projectors, video recorders, microwave ovens, electric stoves, washing machines, dryers, etc. are all available.  The stereo that doubles as a bedside table is not comparable to that of a cheap hotel. From the deck, turntable, amplifier, equalizer, to speakers, they are all high-end electrical appliances sold for export.  Moreover, the five-point one-channel surround sound system invented in the base area is used. Even though the sound effect is not as good as that in the concert hall, it is not far behind.  Then there are three meals a day. On paper, the reception standard is three yuan per person per day. In fact, there is no shortage of chicken, duck, fish, mountain products and aquatic products. Occasionally, shark fins, abalone and other seafood purchased from Guangdong are supplied, and they are all made by  The chefs invited from the mainland made it themselves, and it was no worse than the standard for state banquets.  In this era, even the cadres cannot guarantee that there will be big fish and meat to eat every day. Coupled with the strict control, the so-called corruption is just a matter of trying to get some good food.  Judging by the standards of later generations, he is simply adorable and incorruptible.  During the two months in the base area, Xia Zhongyuan and other members of the research team were received by dedicated personnel. They could go wherever they wanted. They were also often taken to the mountainous areas for hunting and sightseeing. They were allowed to eat all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. They had a very comfortable life and felt like  It's like going to heaven, quite a bit happy and unwilling to miss Shu.  Even this steel-cased lighter was purchased from a famous brand in Hong Kong by the base and given to each member as a souvenir.  Even the non-smokers or lesbians in the group smiled at such a precious thing and happily put it in their pockets.  "However, although Liangyuan is good, it is not a place of long-term love.  The two-month investigation time had long since expired. In order to stay a few more days, they called the General Staff and said that some terms had not been negotiated, so they extended it for another week.  But now there are no more excuses not to go back.  Before leaving, Xia Zhongyuan blushed a little after enjoying such a level of reception in the base area. Thinking about the small number of their orders.  They came originally to talk to Guan Fei about purchasing processors and introducing a production line.  "However, in order to support economic construction, domestic military expenditures have been severely compressed, leaving the troops feeling a little breathless. They are struggling to feed millions of troops, and they really can't squeeze out a lot of money.  It is said that it is a small purchase and then the technology is introduced. In fact, it is a one-time deal. After buying this first batch, it is impossible to buy again in the future.  Basically, I want to get a full set of actuarial-type processor technology from the base area.?, and then used for domestic production.  Even for the first batch, the military was only willing to pay one million, and it really couldn¡¯t afford more.  "Compared with the attentive reception here, Xia Zhongyuan felt very embarrassed. He was smoking a cigarette and thinking hard, trying to see if he could find some help in the base area and not live up to the warm hospitality.  But there is only so much military spending, a little more here and a little less there.  Seeing that many key projects have been stopped, they are nominally converted to theoretical research to lay down technical reserves for the future, but in fact they are preparing to let them end without any problems.  The projects that are currently being carried out are either at a critical moment when they are about to produce results, or they are core national defense projects that are too important to be canceled and there is no other place to move.  With funds so tight that it was almost impossible to uncover the problem, even if Xia Zhongyuan wanted to help, he couldn't find any loopholes to exploit.  "I am ashamed of others, I am ashamed of others!" Xia Zhongyuan smoked out all the cigarettes, but still couldn't think of a way out, so he could only mutter guiltily to himself.  "Minister, this is actually not difficult!" Xiao Zhao interrupted after hearing this and helping him get the ironed military uniform from the closet.  As his secretary, Xiao Zhao knew what Xia Zhongyuan was in trouble for.  It is the secretary¡¯s job to share the chief¡¯s worries.  Besides, he was eating, drinking, and taking things in the base area, but couldn't get things done. Xiao Zhao himself felt a little sorry, so he immediately interrupted.  "Oh? What's your idea?" Xia Zhongyuan's eyes lit up, he sat up and asked.  "Although we don't have money, we have channels! Didn't the rotorcraft we built in the base want to help introduce exports through us? Anyway, we don't have rotorcraft, so when we are selling to the outside world, it doesn't matter if we help them sell it.  Is this a problem? I think this rotorcraft is actually quite good and easy to operate. Although it has poor protection, it is still good as a cheap air transport vehicle and strike platform. The most important thing is that it is cheap except for military use!  Civilian models can also be sold. ¡°Also, Commander Guan said that the Type 79 automatic rifles used in the base area can also be exported. When we are selling to foreign countries, if people are not willing to buy our 56.5, then we can also recommend this.  A weapon. In addition, we can¡¯t buy too many processors from military expenditures, but can we recommend them to various scientific research units and administrative departments? They have always complained that they are blocked by Europe and the United States and cannot buy advanced processors.  It's too expensive and a waste of foreign exchange. There are processors here that can be purchased with RMB, which are developed by our brother troops. They are safe and reliable. Why not purchase them in large quantities? Just help Commander Guan in the corresponding procurement meeting.  Wouldn't it be solved if they just said a few nice words?" Xiao Zhao pointed out a few ways to him casually.  "Okay, okay! You're the smart one! Just do it like this!" Xia Zhongyuan let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he was finally not eating for free, and he was somewhat of a help.  The feeling of being owed a favor is very unpleasant.  People say that a great favor turns into an enemy, that is, the favor from the other person is so great that no matter how hard you try, you cannot pay it back. In the end, you simply turn against your benefactor and simply don¡¯t have to pay it back at all.  No matter whether Xiao Zhao¡¯s ideas can work or not, at least he has what he wants. Whether they can work or not is none of his business.  Thinking of this, the barrier in Xia Zhongyuan's heart disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.  "By the way, when I woke up in the morning, I received a thank you call from the external reception desk of the headquarters. The batch of tanks we contacted had arrived. Commander Guan and Deputy Commander Sun went to pick up the vehicles in person. After inspection, they  I am very satisfied with the quality of the batch of tanks." Xiao Zhao made the bed, rushed to the bathroom, helped Xia Zhongyuan prepare hot water, face towels, put toothpaste on his toothbrush, and said inside.  "It should, it should." Xia Zhongyuan said with a proud smile.  In principle, it was impossible for these tanks to be sold to the base area. It was him who made the connection and persuaded the higher-ups to relent.  After all, sixty-four tanks are worth tens of millions, which is a small supplement to the currently financially poor troops.  ¡°And this batch of equipment for the base area was snatched from the hands of the 59th improved development team of the Equipment Department.  Because it is a modified test product, each tank is carefully selected, and the parts and components are all selected from the best. The quality is much better than ordinary products, and it is also pre-installed with a 105mm rifled gun, which has more powerful firepower.  .  Equipment such as vehicle-mounted radios and fire control systems used in command tanks are also the latest models, and the electronic accessories can be said to have reached the highest level in the country.  There were two of them, which had been equipped with laser range finders. They were also pulled over this time without asking for a price increase.Established a base area.  This batch of accessories alone is worth at least several million.  Xia Zhongyuan was very proud when he thought of the surprise and surprise that Guan Fei and others had when they saw the quality of these tanks.  You gave me papaya and you gave me Qiongju in return.  If you are good to me, it is natural that I will give you a certain reward within the scope of my authority.  "Are you just here to thank me? Is there anything else you want to say?" Xia Zhongyuan felt itchy in his heart. He wanted to hear more words of gratitude from Xiao Zhao, and he also wanted to know what kind of surprise reaction they would have when they saw these bonus equipment.  He asked with a loud laugh while putting on his shoes.  "Say it!" Xiao Zhao poked his head out of the bathroom and said with a smile, "The call was made by Commander Guan himself. He said he was very satisfied with the quality of this batch of tanks and thanked Minister Xia very much. In addition, he said that the base planned to  This batch of tanks needs to be improved, but the base area has little experience in such a complex project. He heard that research in this area is also being carried out in China, so if Minister Xia is free, he hopes that we can also send people to participate, preferably in charge of the 59th.  The reform team also sent experts to attend the meeting to give them the opportunity to learn from us. In this way, we can stay here for a longer time." He thought Minister Xia would be satisfied, but he saw a look of surprise on his face.  "Need to improve? How to improve? Are they still not satisfied with this batch of tanks? Two of them are the latest domestic improvements. They are already the best improvements under the existing technical conditions. How else does he want to improve?  ? Do you still want to change Wujiu into the American m1a1? But Guan Fei is never blind. Since he said that he still needs to improve, he has a plan, maybe" Xia Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly caught it.  Picked up the phone and said loudly to the operator: "I am General Staff Officer Xia Zhongyuan, please help me call the capital immediately!"
