Chapter 1121 Slap in the face
Chapter 1121 Slap in the face
The next day, Chen Changan watched General Kamal's plane take off at the airport, and he finally felt relieved.
Chen Changan was really scared.
You know, our country has always had a tradition of hiding good things and not showing them to others.
Scientific research funding has indeed been reduced, but the only things that have been reduced are chips, which seem to be of little use.
In fact, research on real missiles and various national defense weapons has never stopped.
The country is so short of money, and with Kamal waving US dollars around, Chen Changan is really afraid that someone might not be able to resist the temptation and offer him good things in exchange for money.
Now Kamal left with a face full of anger. He felt that Chen Changan did not treat him as a friend because Chen Changan was unwilling to help him lobby.
In General Kamal's eyes, he helped Chen Changan a lot in the arms deal, not Chen Changan who helped him.
However, Chen Changan did not regard General Kamal as a friend, but just a business partner.
Hussein's character had already determined his fate, and he could only do business with these people.
As soon as General Kamal left, Chen Changan was called over by his superiors.
"Changan, this time some people have complained about your refusal to sell missiles.
I am a little dissatisfied that you did not report this matter but rejected General Kamal on the spot.
Regarding this issue, you and I will go and make a report to the military leaders later.
I have defended you strongly, but you also know that some military leaders have bad tempers.
They felt that it was inappropriate for you to directly deny the transaction without their authorization.
After your last talk, the military has decided to increase investment in scientific research.
But there are too many scientific research projects that require funding. We not only lack funds, but also talent.
Many leaders believed that if we could sell missiles to big companies, we could also sell them to Hussein.
In this way, hundreds of millions or even billions of funds can be obtained, which can quickly advance the progress of scientific research projects.
I will try my best to speak up for you at the next meeting. Some military leaders have even threatened to punish you.
Don't take these angry words to heart. Those people are used to being arrogant and few people can control them.
But don't worry, with your merits, I and some leaders will also do our best to protect you.
This time it's just a formality, and I won't let you suffer any injustice."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changan was not angry, but rather eager to try.
Chen Changan had seen that group of people before. They all liked to make a lot of noise.
I always feel that I have fought battles all my life, and there is nothing I don’t understand or know about.
Last time in the conference room, I was stunned by what Chen Changan said about the form of modern warfare.
After I went back and thought about it carefully, I suddenly realized, isn’t this how we have always fought wars?
They had no air force and no artillery, and they relied entirely on millet and rifles to fight guerrilla warfare against the enemy. This is how they have always fought.
Now that we have an air force, tanks and artillery, we won’t have to fight a war anymore?
Later, these people found that they had been completely fooled by Chen Changan, and immediately became angry and embarrassed.
Although he knew in his heart that Chen Changan's status was not low now, especially at this critical juncture of the country's economic development.
There was no way they could do anything to Chen Changan, but it was really embarrassing.
Even if Chen Changan did not sell the Hussein missiles, there would be no problem. They just wanted to use this incident to get back at Chen Changan.
After all, he is an old comrade, and face is still very important.
But Chen Changan also has his own plans. Wanting to get back at his lord? That would be difficult.
It is now the 90th year, and many big things are about to happen.
There are quite a few things that can be done here. It seems that these old leaders are planning to slap me in the face again.
"Leader, let's go. I want to see what surprises these military leaders have prepared for me."
Seeing Chen Changan's eager look, the superiors immediately mourned for those people in their hearts for a few minutes.
Having been Chen Changan's leader for such a long time, he is very familiar with Chen Changan.
From Chen Changan's expression at this moment, it can be seen that he is very confident and can't wait to teach these military leaders a lesson.
Even he himself was very curious about how Chen Changan planned to slap these people in the face again this time.
. . .
In the same conference room as last time, a large group of military leaders gathered together again. The atmosphere this time was completely different from the last time.
After figuring things out, these leaders wanted to let Chen Changan know how their older generation fought.
There was no dispute over official duties, nor was there any intention of persecution. It was purely for the sake of face and to get back at someone.
Chen Changan's contributions over the years, especially several arms deals, have greatly benefited the military.
They naturally recognized Chen Changan's abilities, and they didn't want to do anything to Chen Changan. As long as they recognized their strength, that was enough.
So the atmosphere in the conference room was very good, and everyone was waiting to see Chen Changan make a fool of himself.
"If you ask me, Chen Changan is really good at talking.
It's no wonder that they can fool these Middle Eastern people into spending billions or even tens of billions to buy arms.
How could we not know what equipment we produce ourselves?
It's really difficult for him to sell tens or hundreds of billions of dollars just like this.
It was the same this time. Right from the start, he stunned us with just a few words.
If I had such a political commissar back then, I would have laughed out loud."
"That's true. It's hard to find a political commissar like Chen Changan who's eloquent, has no ideological problems, and can make money."
"Doing business? We didn't have such talent or such an environment back then.
If Chen Changan had been born a few decades earlier, we wouldn't have had to go through such hardship."
All the leaders recognized Chen Changan's abilities, but they naturally could not admit it in front of Chen Changan.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was opened, and Chen Changan and his superiors walked into the conference room together.
All the military leaders immediately fell silent and just looked at Chen Changan with a playful smile.
They had to make things difficult for Chen Changan today no matter what. Seeing Chen Changan being humiliated, they felt inexplicably comfortable.
"Now, I have brought the people to you, but I still want to give you a word of advice.
If you get slapped in the face again this time, don’t blame me.”
