Scholars in the courtyard

Dinner, machine factory canteen.

After the meeting, Yang Xiaotao led everyone here.

The best way to enhance feelings is at the dinner table.

It is also the best way to increase friendship between men.

Yang Xiaotao, Liang Zuoxin and Zhao Chuanjun sat at a table with several key personnel and officers from the security department.

At other tables, the newcomers sat apart from the guards to increase their feelings.

Yang Xiaotao, holding a wine glass, stood at the table with Liang Zuoxin and Zhao Chuanjun, introducing each other.

"It's a long line."

"Second row."

Liang Zuoxin introduced them one by one, and Yang Xiaotao also met several people. Next to him, Zhao Chuanjun also introduced Wang Hao and several other officials, and then began to pour wine and prepare for the banquet.

As for Yang Youning, Liu Huaimin and others, they are currently accompanying Mr. Xia and Chief Han on another battlefield.

Here is the welcome party.

In the canteen, around the tables in front of everyone, soldiers were sitting waiting to eat.

Although everyone was sitting, many people had their eyes on the table.

Some people couldn't help but breathe in, their Adam's apple surging.

Under Yang Xiaotao's arrangement, four cold and four hot dishes were placed in front of each table.

Cold tomatoes, cucumbers, peanuts and cut salted duck eggs.

Hot dishes include braised pork, stir-fried pork with cabbage, stir-fried tofu with green onions, and egg soup.

Not only is there meat and oil, but there are also baskets and baskets of white flour steamed buns that are two ounces in size. They are large and filling.

In addition to this, there are two bottles of white wine on each table.

They had never eaten such a table of food even during the Chinese New Year.

If it weren't for the squad leader sitting nearby scanning everyone with his eyes, he would have made a joke.

"Xiao Yang, as the master, please tell everyone."

Liang Zuoxin glanced at the soldiers brought to the side, each one was aroused by greed, and compared with the people in the machinery factory, he sighed in his heart.

He knows the soldiers under his command.

Although there are nutritious meals during training, compared with the meal in front of me, it is still a bit inferior.

As for ordinary days, it can only be said to be "poor".

However, even in these poor days, he never gave up training.

Although the food is not as good as that of everyone in the machinery factory, if you really want to work, it will not be a problem to select this group of people in one class.

This is his pride.

"Okay, let me say a few words."

Yang Xiaotao readily agreed and stood up with a wine glass in hand. Everyone's attention was instantly attracted.

After getting to know each other in the afternoon, everyone also knew that the young man in front of them, who was about the same age as them, was their vice-captain and the vice-captain who was also in charge of internal discipline.

As for his status in this machinery factory, everyone also inquired clearly.

In addition to sighing with emotion, I still admire him.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Yang Xiaotao raised his glass and said, "Comrades, people say that when a guest comes to the table, the host proposes three glasses."

"Today, you are here. As the owner of this place and on behalf of the comrades of the machinery factory, I would like to offer you three glasses of wine to welcome you."

"First cup!"

Yang Xiaotao looked around, "I respect you all. I respect you all for coming to the Red Star Machinery Factory and to this 'special battlefield'."

"I did it for your coming!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he raised his head and drank a drink.

Liang Zuoxin next to him was very surprised to see Yang Xiaotao being so open-minded.

This thing about three glasses of wine is often just a talk, and a sip is considered a toast.

But when Yang Xiaotao drank it all, it was a bit outrageous.

This is two or two cups.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao going straight to it, everyone at the table picked up their glasses and tried to follow him.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaotao said directly, "Don't worry, I'll save the wine for you."

"Let me toast these three glasses first."

Seeing this, everyone was even more surprised.

However, people from the original machinery factory knew about Yang Xiaotao's drinking capacity and didn't think anything of it.

However, Mr. Yang's way of toasting made them feel excited.

"My great-grandfather once told me that once a pot is boiled, the horse stirs the pot. When we go to the battlefield, we are brothers who can trust each other's backs."

"This second cup, I wish you all to be together. From now on we will all be brothers and heart-to-heart brothers."

"If you have any problems, whether it's work or family, just talk about it and we'll close the door and talk. We're all a family."

"Done."

Bliss

One cup bottomed out.

Everyone felt warm in their hearts after hearing this.

Wang Hao on the side quickly picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for Yang Xiaotao again.

Yang Xiaotao, whose face remained calm, instantly made everyone present feel respected.

"This is the third cup."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Liang Zuoxin and the others, "For this third cup, from tonight onwards, I and you will not be distinguished as masters or guests, because you are the masters of this machinery factory."

"Respect, dear fellows from the machine shop, master."

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liang Zuoxin immediately stood up holding the wine glass.

Then Zhao Chuanjun also stood up, and everyone around him stood up.

"The deputy captain said it well."

Liang Zuoxin looked at everyone present, "Since we are all members of the same family, I suggest that we have this third cup together."

"Respect the great motherland, respect the machinery factory, and respect ourselves."

"Dry."

"Done!"

boom

The wine glasses clinked together, Yang Xiaotao and Liang Zuoxin looked at each other, then raised their heads and drank.

"Everyone, have a good time eating and drinking."

As Zhao Chuanjun shouted, everyone put down their wine glasses and started to move.

"Brother Yang, there's so much."

Liang Zuoxin put down his wine glass, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the food.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's expression unchanged, he sighed.

Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Wang Hao laughed and said, "Captain Liang, among the 18,000 people in our machinery factory, when it comes to drinking, no one dares to claim to be number one when it comes to drinking."

"Stop talking nonsense, you've never seen anything that can actually drink."

Yang Xiaotao spoke at the side, and then looked at Liang Zuoxin, "Captain Liang, if we work together in the future, please forgive me if there is anything inappropriate."

Liang Zuoxin waved his hand, "I already understood the situation before I came here."

"Don't worry, I will cooperate with you."

This was the second time he said "cooperate well" today. Others didn't hear it, but Yang Xiaotao understood the meaning.

The two clinked glasses, took a sip, and nodded to each other, showing a tacit understanding.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Xiaotao thought of tomorrow's arrangements and said at the wine table, "Captain Liang, there is something important to prepare for tomorrow."

Liang Zuoxin put down his chopsticks and looked over, "Say."

"That's right, our machinery factory is not responsible for the task of armored vehicles, but there is also a truck."

Yang Xiaotao explained the situation, and Liang Zuoxin also knew what happened.

On the side, Zhao Chuanjun explained the original arrangement, "Based on what we learned, it is estimated that Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia will be present. Of course, there is no guarantee that there will be no other leaders, so the security department has made preparations for this security issue."

Liang Zuoxin listened carefully to the side, and after Zhao Chuanjun finished speaking, he added a few words, basically arranging manpower and expanding the scope.

As this is the first mission of the brigade, everyone demands perfection, so no matter how strict it is, it cannot be too strict.

When the banquet ended, it was already midnight.

After Yang Xiaotao left the canteen, he saw that the lights in the reception room had been turned off. He estimated that Yang Youning and others had left, so he asked someone to drive them back.

I drank a lot tonight and felt a little wobbly when I walked. Yang Xiaotao didn't dare to drive at this time.

Returning to the courtyard, the door was open, and Yang Xiaotao walked straight to the middle courtyard.

Just as he entered the house, he saw two figures passing through the hanging flower door one after another.

Yang Xiaotao's eyes were confused and he couldn't see clearly who it was, but he didn't think much about it and went back to the house and went to bed to rest.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao came to the machinery factory after breakfast.

At the gate, the people on duty have been replaced by new soldiers.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao, he couldn't help but put his hand on the spear.

Yang Xiaotao nodded and came to the office.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning had arrived a long time ago and were discussing who would go and who would stay behind today.

After Yang Xiaotao came over, the two people's opinions became a discussion among the three.

It was finally decided that both of them would go.

As for the candidate who stayed behind, the only one was wronged Wang Guodong.

In this regard, Yang Xiaotao was also helpless.

Several people discussed it, and Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning led Liu Dehui and Wang Dahai to rush to the test site first. Yang Xiaotao, Chen Gong and Liang Zuoxin followed the vehicle, leaving Zhao Chuanjun in charge of factory safety.

"Mr. Yang, the fleet is ready and ready to go at any time."

In front of the office building, the team captain Liu Jun shouted loudly and looked excited.

"Old Liang, Uncle Chen, let's go."

Yang Xiaotao looked around, and the two nodded.

"Set off."

"yes!"

With two jeeps leading the way, they were followed by two Optimus Prime trucks, then two colorful armored vehicles, and behind them were three trucks carrying escorts.

The convoy drove out of the machine factory gate and quickly headed west to the site.

At this time, several cars were parked around the venue.

Next to the car, there is a jeep.

People getting off the bus greeted each other and chatted with familiar people.

Mr. Huang had finished his work, but as soon as he got off the car, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Qin and Mr. Wang came over automatically with their people, becoming the largest small group at the scene.

"Old Huang, congratulations."

Huang Laozheng was talking to Mr. Xia about the Shanghai Shipyard, and compliments came from around him.

When he turned around, he saw that the boss of the Sixth Machinery Department was leading the two of them over, and he immediately laughed, "Hey, isn't this the famous Sixth (Liu)?"

"No, you are so famous. It has to be you."

Mr. Liu smiled and met the others, and then approached Mr. Huang, "Old Huang, Lao Xia, I have to trouble you about this."

"Don't worry, as far as winning the war is concerned, I have to take care of this for you."

Mr. Huang's assurance made the visitors very happy. Not only did the Shanghai side want the engine so that they could renovate the naval guns as soon as possible, but the shipyards in the north and south also wanted this engine. Some people even thought about sending the drawings. Produce it yourself, and do some research and development on the way.

It's just that he rejected this voice as soon as he raised it.

If the person who said this had the ability, he would have done it long ago. What's more, when the alliance supported it, it was given many drawings, but has it really been done?

Some things can't be made without telling you how to do them.

What's more, today's First Machinery Department is not easy to mess with.

"Old Huang, I appreciate you this time."

"What you said, Lao Liu, is certainly due to your gratitude. Just don't forget it when you use it in the future."

"Haha, Huang Daya is Huang Daya, you're not welcome at all."

"Why are you so polite to me?"

"That's true."

"What are you two talking about? You are so happy?"

Just as the two were talking, a voice interrupted and quickly turned around.

Everyone looked and saw Mr. Chen slowly walking over accompanied by guards.

"Chief."

Several people quickly came forward to say hello.

Mr. Chen waved his hand, and then looked at Mr. Huang, "Old Huang, your 1st Machinery Department has done a big job this time."

"Chief, what are you talking about? It's all your job, your job."

"Yes, it's good to do your job well, but many people can't even do their jobs well."

"No, I came to Metallurgy this time to ask, what is this aluminum alloy about?"

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, Mr. Huang and Mr. Qin felt a little bit in their hearts, thinking that what was supposed to come had finally come.

"Well, Chief, aren't we going to make enough food and clothing ourselves?"

"When you encounter difficulties, you must first solve them yourself. You can't always cause trouble to the leaders."

Mr. Huang looked concerned about the country and the people, and he spoke very seriously.

Mr. Zhang also pushed Mr. Wang aside. At this time, he needed to be shameless.

Mr. Wang immediately said, "Yes, Chief, we all know the difficulties in the country, especially this airplane and rocket. If there are better materials, it will definitely fly higher, faster and further."

"But we only have a small amount of foreign exchange, and we have to consider this and that, and we have to pay close attention to the use of it by our brother departments."

"So, as soon as our brothers thought about it, we wanted to try it ourselves."

"I didn't expect it, but it actually happened. You said it was really a stroke of luck."

Mr. Wang said, everyone else around him seemed to be listening to your nonsense, but he was really envious in his heart.

"Okay. I'm just asking for Metallurgy and the others. It's not like I'm robbing you of your things. Each one of you is as rich as a landlord."

Mr. Chen smiled, and Mr. Huang and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If the chief had spoken, they would have no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it.
