The rise of a great power: starting with military industry
Chapter 1426 Untitled
The rendezvous and docking of the Panshan spacecraft with the space station and the successful reunion of the astronauts were all broadcast live.
You can watch the live broadcast directly from CCTV, Hong Kong TV, and video websites.
And it can be watched not only in China and Southeast Asia, but all over the world.
This is also what China Aerospace often does, live broadcasting at any time.
It makes it difficult for foreign countries to slander that the film was shot in a studio.
After all, the public has sharp eyes and can clearly tell whether it is really in space or not.
Thanks to China’s progress in communication technology, the delay in live broadcast images is not obvious.
Moreover, when astronauts are not on missions, they can even call or video chat with their families in space.
This was unimaginable before.
The news of China’s ‘Panshan’ space plane’s second flight naturally attracted global attention.
As the world’s first successfully developed aerospace plane, every move of the “Panshan” aerospace plane is watched closely by major countries in the world.
Countries like Africa, the Middle East, and South America only report on it, after all, space travel is too far away from them.
Countries in these regions, even wealthy countries like Saudi Arabia, can at most purchase satellites and have no ability to launch satellites.
Currently, the only countries in the world capable of launching satellites are the United States, Russia, China, and Europe!
Other countries do not have the ability to carry out space exploration.
Countries such as Japan and Canada are developing space exploration through international cooperation.
On this day, the Panshan spacecraft separated from the space station.
The entire process will be broadcast live.
As the two separated and the distance between them widened, the Panshan spacecraft began its journey back to Earth.
As the Panshan spacecraft entered the atmosphere, its speed continued to decrease. When it was 20 kilometers away from the earth, its wings had been fully deployed and its speed continued to decrease.
When approaching Chinese airspace, the speed of the Panshan spacecraft had dropped to Mach 3.
Not long after, the “Panshan” spacecraft landed at an air force base in the suburbs of Beijing.
Liu Yang and the other two astronauts sat in their seats without moving. They had been in the space station for quite some time and it was not advisable for them to stand up at this time to avoid getting injured.
Other astronauts, who spend a short time in space, do not have this problem.
When the hatch of the Panshan spacecraft opened, they went out.
They were greeted with flowers and applause. Medical staff came forward and asked about the astronauts’ physical condition. At the same time, medical staff also brought a cart. When Liu Yang and others sat on the cart, they got off the Panshan spacecraft.
“I feel very good, there is no problem!” Yang Liwei said to the medical staff.
These medical staff are all part of the aerospace medical team.
They are the most professional!
Although Yang Liwei felt well, the medical team still asked them to undergo a check-up out of caution.
The Panshan spacecraft is being disinfected and sterilized for safety reasons.
Panshan Group’s mid-year party committee meeting was held as scheduled!
Unlike previous party group meetings, many participants this time had heavy expressions on their faces.
“Leader, I don’t know anything about Nanyang. I’m worried that I won’t be able to do the job if you transfer me there. I’d better stay in the group or stay in the country.” Huang Zhen, who is over 50 years old, said to Chen Weimin.
Huang Zhen was one of the cadres who was transferred to support the area. However, he was reluctant to do so. After all, he was in Kunming City, where his living and working environment were very comfortable. According to his development path, he would have a good chance of becoming the deputy general manager of Panshan Group in one or two terms.
If you can work in Panshan Group at this level until retirement, your retirement life will be very comfortable. Not only will you still have a secretary and a driver after retirement, you can also enjoy free medical care, etc. The retirement salary alone will be hundreds of thousands every year.
If he is transferred to support Southeast Asia, his rank will not change at all, but his working and living environment will change drastically. Even if he makes progress in the future, the pension alone will be very different after retirement.
Chen Weimin had a blank expression on his face. He said, “Comrade Huang Zhen, we transferred you to Nanyang after careful consideration by the organization. This is a sign of trust in you. As cadres, we always emphasize that I am a brick of the revolution. I will be moved wherever I am needed! When can I be picky?”
“Not only you, I will also go to Lan Fang to support the construction of Lan Fang!” Chen Weimin said, “I hope that you can continue to work hard in your new job, continue to strive for the great rejuvenation of China, and contribute to it.”
After Liu Tao talked to Chen Weimin, he took the initiative to write an application report, recommending himself and volunteering to go to Nanyang to support its construction.
And it was Lan Fang who went to the front line.
Today, Lan Fang is the most unstable place in the entire Southeast Asia, and the competition between Lan Fang and Australia has never stopped.
The US military has long maintained a garrison of more than 50,000 troops in Australia, including air force bases, naval bases, and army bases, and has also deployed the THAAD system in Australia.
The US Navy has deployed an aircraft carrier fleet in Australia.
Lan Fang was not to be outdone. In addition to deploying an aircraft carrier fleet with the Type 001 light aircraft carrier as its core, the Lan Fang navy was not large either, equipped with more than 15 Type 052 destroyers and more than 054 Type 40 frigates.
In addition, Lan Fang is also equipped with 12 Type 039 conventional submarines.
The total number of Type 022 missile boats and Type 022A torpedo boats used for near-shore defense exceeds 60.
Lan Fang built military bases on the islands within its territorial waters to form a line of defense.
To be honest, Chen Weimin’s trip to Lan Fang was a risky one.
After all, he holds a high position in Panshan Group and is about to retire, so there is really no need to make any fuss.
However, he still took the initiative to write an application report and set an example by going to Nanyang.
Huang Zhen was speechless.
Chen Weimin’s expression remained unchanged. Huang Zhen was not the first to complain in front of him, nor would he be the last.
But whether they are willing or not, the cadres who are transferred to provide support cannot change the outcome.
If you don’t want to go, you can write a resignation letter!
Whoever writes a resignation application, the relevant department will definitely approve it within seconds without any hesitation.
But how many people are really willing to resign at this time?
There are many cadres like Huang Zhen who do not want to leave Panshan Group.
But it didn’t help at all.
If you understand, you must execute it. If you don’t understand, you can understand it through execution.
Among the 100,000 cadres at all levels who were selected, most were party members, except for a few from democratic parties.
The advantage of Chinese party members has always been this: obey the decisions of the organization!
The Panshan Group’s large-scale mobilization of cadres at all levels to support the operation also shocked the people within the Panshan Group.
You should know that the last time cadres at all levels were mobilized on a large scale was to support poverty alleviation work. At that time, Panshan Group system mobilized more than 30,000 cadres at all levels.
This time, 100,000 cadres at all levels were directly mobilized.
As hundreds of thousands of cadres at all levels were transferred, many of them were responsible for the post, which led to the promotion of a large number of young people. The large-scale personnel transfer seemed chaotic, but in fact it was carried out in an orderly manner.
After all, these 100,000 cadres at all levels were not transferred away all at once in a short period of time, but were transferred over a period of half a year.
The first to be transferred were the members of the Party Committee who were transferred away, the deputy general managers of Panshan Group, and the deputy general managers of each second-level group.
This time the personnel appointments and dismissals were made from top to bottom.
Liu Tao is personally in charge of Panshan Group, and he will take down anyone who dares to mess around.
On this day, at Liu Tao’s home.
Liu Tao invited Chen Weimin and his family to dinner.
Although they are said to be a family, they are actually just the couple Chen Weimin and Liu Honglei.
Their children each have their own careers, and they only get together during the Chinese New Year every year.
“Sister, brother-in-law.”
Just as Liu Tao picked up the wine glass and was about to speak, he was interrupted by Liu Honglei, who said, “There’s no need to be polite among family members. If it weren’t for you, we would still be on the farm, and how could we have the good life we have now.”
“Don’t I know what kind of person your brother-in-law is? If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t be where he is today!” Liu Honglei said, “Sometimes when I think about it, it feels like a dream. No, this is something I didn’t even dare to dream of back then.”
Chen Weimin also said: “Your sister is right. There is no need for family members to be polite! When we came to Yun Province, we responded to the call and supported the construction of the southwest border. Now we are just responding to the country’s call again to support Southeast Asia. It is my honor to be able to play my own value at this age.”
Liu Tao was silent.
The choices made by the two brothers-in-law, Qian Huaqiang and Chen Weimin, led to different lives.
Qian Huaqiang chose to go into business and made a career for himself. He learned from the wealthy people in Hong Kong and enjoyed life. He was lost in a luxurious life with luxury cars, yachts, private jets, and female celebrities. His marriage with Liu Hongying had long been in name only, and he was not close to his children.
Chen Weimin chose to be a skilled worker in a stable environment and worked hard to learn technology. As Panshan Group grew rapidly, he made continuous progress and became independent. Over the years, he and Liu Honglei have been loving couples, and their children have all achieved success. They have never forgotten their original aspirations.
Sometimes Liu Tao would regret that he had supported Qian Huaqiang to go south to make his living, but in fact he had harmed them.
If he had arranged a job for them back then, Qian Huaqiang’s life might have been different.
He talked to Chen Weimin. To be honest, if Chen Weimin was unwilling, he would not force him. Chen Weimin would retire peacefully in Panshan Group and enjoy a comfortable retirement life.
However, Chen Weimin chose to support Nanyang and contribute to its development.
There was no rejection, but rather acceptance.
“Everything is in the wine!” Liu Tao said, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Chen Weimin’s choice can be said to have made the task of transferring cadres much easier.
Everyone knows that Chen Weimin is his brother-in-law. Now even Chen Weimin has been transferred to Southeast Asia. Who else has anything to say?
Who else dares to say that they have a background? Whose background is as strong as Chen Weimin’s?
Those who are more closely related must be transferred out.
Even if they went home and told the adults about it, the adults would impatiently tell them to shut up, obey the organization, and go to Nanyang obediently.
Because at this time, choosing to leave Panshan Group would be equivalent to being a deserter, and it can be said that there would be no future at all.
“Dad, our second uncle is not someone else.” Liu Yingqing picked up some food for Liu Tao and others.
Zhu Lin said unhappily, “Children should stop interrupting when adults are talking.”
“Mom, I’m over 30 years old and not a child anymore!” Liu Yingqing said dissatisfiedly.
“Unmarried people are all children. If you have the ability, find a partner and get married quickly. You have become an old leftover woman!” Zhu Lin glared at Liu Yingqing.
Liu Yingqing’s face froze. This was obviously a big deal.
Liu Yingqing grumbled, “Mom, congratulations, you’ve killed the conversation!”
“You stupid girl, you have no respect for your parents!” Zhu Lin said angrily, “You have been spoiled by your father since you were a child. You don’t feel anything when you look at this or that. If you continue to be like this, you really won’t be able to get married.”
Liu Yingqing said angrily: “Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely not be unable to get married.”
Liu Tao had a headache. These mother and daughter always had an unpleasant experience.
“Stop talking, I haven’t settled the score with you yet!” Liu Tao glared at Liu Yingqing, “If you keep talking to your mother like this, don’t even think about participating in a space mission next time.”
Liu Yingqing stuck out her tongue and made a face.
Until now, she didn’t dare let Zhu Lin know what happened in space.
After undergoing a series of medical examinations and psychological treatments, Liu Yingqing has been traveling around these days to relax and heal her inner self in order to recover better.
This time in space, Liu Yingqing was really scared.
That feeling of floating in space, feeling extremely lonely, helpless, scared and desperate, even though Liu Yingqing was a professional athlete and her heart and will were much stronger than ordinary people, she still inevitably had psychological problems.
In space, Liu Tao appeared in front of her. It was like being in an endless abyss. The light of hope for life suddenly appeared, and she was shocked.
She didn’t think at that time that Liu Tao would actually come to rescue her in a spaceship.
At that time, she was actually ready to sacrifice.
Although Liu Yingqing was frightened, she did not give up on becoming an astronaut. She even actively applied to be a member of the manned lunar landing team.
Liu Honglei said, “Linlin, don’t worry. Back then, wasn’t mom just as worried about Ziyu’s lifelong event as you are? The more she worried, the less likely it would be. In the end, when she had given up and given up hope, Ziyu happened to be found.”
“She’s been spoiled by her father, and Ziyu has also set a bad example.” Zhu Lin sighed.
After she retired, the only thing she was concerned about was her children’s lifelong affairs.
Liu Tao was busy with national affairs, so all she had to do was take care of family matters and not let Liu Tao be distracted by them.
However, when it comes to the lifelong affairs of his children, except for the eldest son Liu Jingming, none of the others can make him feel at ease.
Liu Honglei smiled and decided not to continue the conversation. There was really nothing she could do.
If we talk about being well-matched, there are not many people in the whole country who can be as well-matched as Liu Yingqing.
If we consider the achievements Liu Yingqing has made, there are even fewer people who can match Liu Yingqing.
You can even say no!
There are quite a few of these rich and powerful young men with good backgrounds.
Just right, barely!
As for Liu Tao, he had always been against the idea of marrying someone of equal status. This was true for Liu Ziyu, Liu Yingqing, and other brothers and sisters. (End of this chapter)
