Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!

Chapter 142 Promotion 1

The inspection trip on the 78th Group Army’s territory was the happiest time for Minister He.

He saw the prosperity and development here, felt the enthusiasm and vitality of the people, and couldn't help but think of the difficult times he had experienced.

At that time, the country was still very poor and backward, and people lived a hard life. But now, after years of hard work, the country is still weak and people still can't get enough to eat. This makes him unwilling to look at and think about these things many times, and he has been deceiving himself.

But when he came to Guancen Mountain, he saw the country he had once imagined. This was hope, the cornerstone of national rise. This was his heartfelt sigh as a superior, and it also reflected his confidence and expectation for the country's future.

He knew that only through continuous reform and innovation could the country become stronger; only by allowing the people to live a better life could the great rejuvenation of the nation be truly realized.

As a patriot, he may have personal reasons such as faction and certain beliefs, but these cannot affect his love for the country and the nation.

He knows that patriotism is not just a slogan, but also a responsibility. In this era, everyone should shoulder their own mission and responsibility and contribute to the development of the country.

But which person in power does not want the people under his rule to live better? Who does not want them to be happy and healthy?

He believes that as long as everyone works together, they will be able to create a better tomorrow!

"Minister! I heard that three days ago, the armed forces publicly shot and executed 11 guys who were accused of spies and destabilizing terrorist attacks!"

"I have investigated privately and found that among these people there are 6 Japanese spies and of them are from the Central Investigation Section under the Chen brothers!"

"Although these people deserve death for what they did here, isn't it inappropriate for the 78th Army to treat the personnel assigned by the Central Committee in this way?"

One of Minister He's staff whispered a report into He Jingzhi's ear, his tone filled with a hint of doubt and worry.

Today, He Jingzhi and others are visiting a tank factory that has just started production. The factory is located on the outskirts of a southern city. It is large in scale, with advanced equipment, and the workers are working busy and orderly.

However, when He Jingzhi heard the staff officer's words, his face became solemn.

He Jingzhi stopped and turned to look at the staff officer: "Are you sure about this? Is the source of the information reliable?"

The staff officer nodded: "Yes, Minister, I have verified it, and the news is correct."

He Jingzhi sighed and frowned: "This is troublesome. We must understand the situation and take action as soon as possible."

He turned to the others and said, "Everyone, please stop for a moment. I need to discuss some urgent matters with you."

Everyone gathered around, waiting nervously for He Jingzhi to speak.

He Jingzhi took a deep breath and said seriously, "I just got a message that the Armed Forces publicly shot and executed 11 people three days ago who were accused of being spies and destabilizing terrorist attacks."

"Among them are six Japanese spies and five members of the Central Investigation Section under the Chen brothers. What they did here is indeed a crime worthy of death, but is it appropriate for the 6th Army to deal with personnel sent by the central government in this way?"

After a moment of silence, someone said, "This is not easy to handle! Doesn't the 78th Army Group's actions show that they don't respect the Central Government?"

Another person echoed: "Yes, if we allow this kind of thing to happen, how can we manage the local army in the future?"

He Jingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is of great importance. We cannot act rashly. First of all, we must find out why the 78th Army made such a decision and what evidence they have. Secondly, we must also consider the position and interests of the Central Committee and cannot easily offend any party."

After some discussion, everyone reached a consensus. He Jingzhi decided to immediately send someone to communicate with the 78th Army Group, asking them to provide a detailed investigation report and ensure fairness and transparency. At the same time, he will also report the matter to his superiors to seek instructions and support.

Afterwards, He Jingzhi led the group to continue visiting the tank factory, but his mood became heavy.

This incident made him realize that conflicts and contradictions between local armies could break out at any time and needed to be resolved in a timely manner. He knew that as a senior general, he must not let this situation get out of control.

He Jingzhi knew very well that the people in the Central Investigation Bureau were a group of evil and ruthless guys, and the action of the 78th Army this time was actually killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Through this action, they wanted to send a clear message to the outside world: If anyone dared to make trouble within the 78th Army and tried to destroy the revolutionary base that was established with great difficulty, then don't blame them for being rude.

Even if the other party is a central government official, they dare to take action to see who dares to stir up trouble in their territory and do this and that. At least they can scare some people.

"Director Qian! What is the current production volume of such tanks? How does their performance compare to the tanks of the Soviet and German armies?"

Minister He was visiting the Third Armored Vehicle Research and Production Plant with Director Qian when they saw a Type 1 Huaxia tank that had just rolled off the production line and asked about it.

"Minister He, you see, this tank is actually designed by us based on the advantages of both the T34 and the Leopard tanks."

"In terms of tracks and suspension systems, we adopted advanced German technology, but abandoned the German army's over-pursuit of excellence and rigid requirement to make each tank a work of art."

"What we need is a main battle tank that can be mass-produced like the T34! After many tests and verifications, the comprehensive combat capability of this tank is more advantageous than that of the Leopard tank A, D, T34-76, 85 and other models."

"However, the problem we are facing now is that domestic steel and many accessories have not yet been localized, which has brought certain difficulties to our research and development and production."

"If the supporting parts can meet the supply and production is in full swing, about 50 vehicles can be rolled off the production line in a month. Of course, as the workers become more skilled and some major parts research makes breakthroughs."

"We hope to achieve a monthly output of 100 within half a year, and realize the initial localization of all parts within a year!" Director Qian's voice was full of confidence and determination.

However, when Minister He heard the news, he felt complicated. He felt both joy and a hint of sadness in his heart.

It is gratifying that these young people can achieve such achievements in such difficult circumstances.

Think about it, this is a place that was once occupied by the enemy, and these young people were all defectors from the puppet army. They had firm beliefs and courage, which enabled them to overcome numerous difficulties and achieve such a breakthrough.

But at the same time, Minister He also felt sad because the difficulties these young people face are so great.

In just over two years, they not only had to fight the Japanese and protect their homes, but also had to work hard to develop industry and build their own country. What about the central government?

However, they just watched from the sidelines, invested almost no resources, and even set up obstacles and caused trouble for them.

Thinking of this, Minister He couldn't help but sigh: These young people really have a hard time! They rely on their wisdom and courage to create their own miracles.

In contrast, he was disappointed by the inaction of the central government.

However, despite facing many difficulties, Minister He believes that these young people will be able to move forward and make greater contributions to the country's prosperity.

After all, they have proven their strength and ability, and the road ahead will surely become wider and wider.
