In the holographic conference room, Chu Nan's holographic projection stood opposite the long table and reported to Jiang Chen the situation on the first day of the war bond issuance.
"Including the pre-sale portion, a total of two million Yajing war bonds were sold out on the same day. In addition, the recruitment process has also reached 30% and is expected to be completed within a week."
"It's like picking up money." Jiang Chen couldn't help but admire.
“Credibility came in handy and people rushed to buy it.”
"No, no, no, credibility is only about the people's belief that we will pay. The reason why people buy war bonds is not because of credibility, but because they support this war." Jiang Chen said with a smile as he leaned on the boss's chair.
"Because it's profitable?" Chu Nan teased.
"On the one hand, it is." Jiang Chen smiled.
Chu Nan didn't ask what the other side was, he just smiled and flipped the documents in his hand.
"Is this all you need to report to me?". Jiang Chen asked.
"No, there is another good news." Chu Nan said.
"oh?"
"Remember that Hua Weijie? The order you placed with him has now been completed."
When he first occupied the Sixth Block, Jiang Chen promised a certain degree of benefits to each of the five council members who surrendered. Including Zhao Chenwu's food business, Lu Yun's Coastline Company's inner circle reconstruction project, and Hua Weijie's Starry Sky Technology Company's pre-war technology recycling and Yizhi-51 development project.
"It was completed so quickly?" Jiang Chen looked at Chu Nan in surprise.
Originally, he had expected that this research and development would take at least a year, but he did not expect that they would complete it so quickly.
"Yes. They're done." Chu Nan nodded.
"Arrange their technicians to deliver production process-related documents to our factory. Once the helicopter is successfully put into production, we will send them the remaining 120,000 Yajing." Jiang Chen said immediately, with unconcealable joy on his face.
YZ-51 development completed. This means that NAC will gain the ability to produce helicopters, completely breaking Liuding Town’s monopoly on aviation power. And with NAC's industrial capabilities, it won't take long for Liuding Town, which is on the deck, to be thrown out of the streets.
"Okay. Hua Weijie also asked me if you have any new scientific research projects for him." Chu Nan nodded.
"Of course, you ask him if he is interested in cooperative scientific research projects. If so, talk to her about developing fighter jets."
Chu Nan was stunned for a moment and repeated it as if to confirm.
"fighter?"
"That's right. A fixed-wing aircraft, the kind that can drop 200 kilograms of bombs on the enemy's head." Jiang Chen said.
"To be honest, the development of fixed-wing aircraft is probably much more difficult than that of helicopters. And the combat effectiveness in the wasteland. Fighters are not necessarily much better than helicopters." Chu Nan advised cautiously.
The production process of YZ-51 has just been developed, and the research and development of fighter jets is being deployed before the trial production line is even operational? According to Chu Nan's idea, it is best to continue along the helicopter path and use the YZ-51 as a template to continuously strengthen its technology.
fighter? The NAC's combat radius is only a few dozen kilometers. Is it necessary to use something like a fighter jet
However, Chu Nan didn't know that Jiang Chen planned to bring this fighter jet to the real world for use.
"Look further. The enemies before us are not just those mutant minions. The Northern United District has always had bad intentions towards Wanghai City, a geomantic treasure land. Look further. Look further. Throughout Pan Asia, and even on the other side of the ocean, no one knows what is there or what the people there are thinking. Since sooner or later we will have to face those things. I hope that I will not be unprepared then. So now, you still Do you think the development of fixed-wing aircraft is unnecessary?"
"You are right, Marshal." Chu Nan replied quickly.
No matter if it's right or not. It would be a shame to keep talking back.
Jiang Chen nodded, "Very good. That's it."
After ending the call with Chu Nan, Jiang Chen leaned on the chair and stretched.
"Ah, I'm so exhausted. Miss Staff Officer. How about you squeeze my shoulders for me?"
"With all due respect, this is the secretary's job." Han Junhua, standing in the corner of the conference room, folded his arms and said coldly.
"Isn't the staff officer the marshal's secretary?" Jiang Chen said in a joking tone.
"Your point of view is very novel, but let me reject it."
"That's a shame."
Jiang Chen made an exaggerated expression of disappointment, stood up on the armrest, and walked towards the door of the conference room in a happy mood.
"If you want to install fighter jets in the army, I suggest you form an air force formation that is independent of the army." Han Junhua said in a calm tone.
"It's too early. Those scientists haven't even built a 'toy' model for me yet."
Jiang Chen laughed, his voice gradually getting louder in the empty corridor.
The so-called marshal does not necessarily have to stay in the office and be on call in a formal manner. It is enough to appear in front of people when they need it. As for those chores, they can be left to the staff. This is Jiang Chen's interpretation of his current position, and he is not making excuses for his laziness.
To sum up, after sitting idle in the office for half an hour, Jiang Chen told Han Junhua to "come back to me if you need anything" and then left the office gracefully.
It's already early June.
Guessing that he would have to go back in a few days, Jiang Chen wanted to spend more time with his beloved.
Across the square in front of the community center, two hundred meters further north is the training ground. There is a neat row of trucks parked at the door, as well as hunting tigers that are still in service. Women stand here waiting for their husbands, because they will soon go to the front.
When Jiang Chen passed by the door, he saw the training ground was completely dark.
The first regiment is about to set off, and Cheng Weiguo is making the final mobilization of the soldiers. Once the mobilization rally is over, they will get on the bus at the door and go directly to the front line.
Just yesterday, the Marshal's Office approved the Sixth District Council's request to declare war on mutants, and now the entire NAC has entered a state of war. Although the mutants certainly did not receive the news, it is absolutely right to complete the deployment of border troops as soon as possible.
Among the crowd, Jiang Chen accidentally caught a glimpse of an acquaintance.
This is Zhou Jiexi, Cheng Weiguo's wife. She once worked as a cook in the canteen, but later she joined the logistics department because the canteen was under the management of the logistics department. Jiang Chen vaguely remembered this person. In the beginning, she was responsible for the meals for more than 30 people in the base.
If there is any change between her now and before, it's probably her belly.
After noticing Jiang Chen, Zhou Jiexi smiled slightly.
"Mr. Marshal."
"Long time no see." Jiang Chen smiled and looked at her bulging belly with some surprise, "How many months has it been?"
"It's been three months." Speaking of the child in her belly, her face was filled with a happy smile.
"It's been three months, this guy Cheng Weiguo is almost going to be a father and he still doesn't say a word to me." Jiang Chen scolded with a smile.
"You are the marshal, how dare I bother you with such a trivial matter." Zhou Jiexi said humbly.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, but soon came out of his daze and smiled at her.
makes sense
After a moment of pause, Jiang Chen then said, "Pay more attention to your health, and say hello to Lao Cheng for me."
"Yeah, definitely." Zhou Jiexi smiled and said goodbye to Jiang Chen.
For a leader, being able to win the awe of his followers is undoubtedly valuable. The distance caused by the gap in awe is inevitable. After all, except for Zhou Guoping, who had been a bandit, none of the people he promoted were good at flattery.
In other words, do I still need a bitch who can flatter me
Jiang Chen sneered at the idea that suddenly popped up in his mind. No matter how many people there are, it seems boring.
Are you missing friends? Or a good buddy
Jiang Chen fell into silence.
The formation not far away has begun to move. Soldiers holding rifles boarded the truck in batches and said their final goodbyes to their families at the door of the vehicle.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a sleeping baby in a woman's arms.
The confused sleeping face and the mother's happy smile were like a picture scroll, deeply imprinted in Jiang Chen's eyes.
It was that smile that gave him some comfort.
Jiang Chen smiled and turned around and walked away. (.)
