Chapter 42: The Factory Director (7)

  Looking at the busy crowd in front of him, Liu Fengcai was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

  The Beijun City Military Sub-district Reception Office was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, bustling with excitement like a grand reunion dinner before the New Year. The waiters were busy setting tables and wiping chairs, while the leaders of the reception office, big and small, were walking back and forth, directing their subordinates to hurry up. "Right, right, hang this up high! This is a great honor for our military sub-district, brought by Deputy Chief of Staff Lin. This is a grand celebration for our entire military sub-district, we must make it lively and festive!"

  Not only was the military district commander present, but also a group of main leaders from the Beiguan City Military District were all there. The commander, political commissar, chief of staff, several deputy chiefs of staff... stood in a row, and everyone looked at the lively scene of the reception office, all smiling: Our Beiguan City Military District has really shown its face in front of the leaders this time!

  Only Lin Weiguo felt a bit uneasy, looking left and right, was this not a bit too exaggerated? Deputy Chief of Staff Lin had not done anything himself, even if he did, wasn't it all his son's doing? Thinking about it, Deputy Chief of Staff Lin felt increasingly uneasy, he always thought he had stolen his son's credit.

  Thinking of this, Deputy Chief of Staff Lin said in a low voice to Liu Fengcai, "Commander, don't make such a big fuss about it? I think..."

  Before Lin Weiguo could finish what he "thought", Commander Liu, who was in high spirits, waved his hand and said, "Old Lin, you can say whatever you want at other times, but today you must listen to me. This matter is not just yours, but also ours, everyone's. No discussion, today we will definitely not leave until we are drunk!"

  "Right! Right! We must drink till we drop!" The crowd shouted in unison, their faces already flushed as if they had been drinking, even though they hadn't started yet.

  Lin Weiguo couldn't help but smile wryly. The leaders have all said so, how can he still go home? ... What a pity, Yu Zhen must have already cooked dinner, right? There must be Mao's braised pork and chicken stewed with mushrooms. Since he can't go back, he should at least call home to let Yu Zhen and the kids not wait for him...

  In recent years, the country has been focusing on economic development as its core, and the proportion of military expenditure has been decreasing year by year. The army's days are actually quite difficult, every penny is spent with great care, but today, the leaders of the Beiguan City Military Sub-district can't be bothered with that anymore. Now, they just want to drink a hearty toast, get drunk and have a good time!

  Such a joyful occasion, how can one not drink? How can one not get drunk?!

  Half a month ago, under Lin Weiguo's reminder, the tactical rail system he came up with became the decision of the Beijun City Military Sub-district collective. Of course, Lin Weiguo himself was the deputy chief of staff of the military sub-district, and everyone was very reserved in reporting to their superiors, emphasizing that this idea was thought of by Comrade Lin Weiguo... To say something extra, if it were an ordinary little soldier who came up with this idea, it would probably have been a different outcome.

  After making tactical rails with stainless steel, several small tactical accessories were made one after another, including tactical small grips, tactical gun lights, low-magnification scopes and so on. The most awesome thing is that the workshop on this side handmade a rifle-mounted grenade launcher, 35mm caliber, directly using the existing 35mm caliber rifle grenades in our country, ensuring high compatibility of the weapon system.

  Before sending the test to the Provincial Military Region, Liu Fengcai was still slightly nervous in his heart, not knowing whether the move of the Beijun City Military Sub-district would be praised by the superior leaders or criticized for being unprofessional. However, the development of things exceeded Liu Fengcai's expectations. The leaders of the Guqi Province Provincial Military Region were overjoyed when they saw the "enhanced version" of the tactical rail sent by the Beijun City Military Sub-district, and after a simple test, they immediately realized the great value of the Lin-style tactical rail system and immediately reported it to the Shunqiong Military Region.

  Shun'geng Military Region, as one of the country's seven major military regions, bears the most important responsibility of assisting the Capital Garrison to safeguard the security of the capital. Its combat effectiveness is also among the strongest in the seven major military regions. After personally inspecting the test samples sent by the Beiguan City Military Sub-district, the comrades of Shun'geng Military Region realized the value of this tactical rail and immediately reported it to the main leaders of the military region.

  The main leaders of the Shun Army Region attached great importance to it, and after listening to the report in detail and personally watching the test, the commander of the Military Region personally gave instructions. Led by the Beiguan City Military Division, the 81-style automatic rifle was deeply publicized, making the 81-style automatic rifle a high-performance individual weapon that can operate in all weather conditions.

  During the test, what left a deep impression on the main leaders of the military region was the grenade launcher hung under the 81-style automatic rifle. The huge power and maximum range of 300 meters made the leaders immediately realize the great value of this "infantry small cannon" in actual combat.

  Actually, domestically, it wasn't until the end of last year that experimental large-scale equipment for single-soldier small-caliber grenade weapons began to be tested, which is the later famous 87-style grenade launcher. Because it was an experimental piece of equipment, the first unit equipped with a grenade launcher was the famous Wan Sui Army. The Wan Sui Army guarded the capital and had a heavy responsibility, strong combat power, but apart from guarding the capital, the Wan Sui Army also had another task, which was to test some new equipment for the army, this has always been a tradition of the Wan Sui Army.

  Apart from the Wan Sui Army, the other six major military regions also provided a small number of them to collect data on the combat characteristics of this weapon in different regional features for future improvement.

  This kind of thing was originally not possible to be stationed in the Beijun City Military Division, a defensive area for a second-rate division. I don't know what channel Liu Fengcai went through to get one from the Shun Geng military district. Commander Liu didn't think that the mortar he brought back would actually reduce a lot of trouble for Lin Weiguo's research and development work.

  Lin Weiguo, as the actual developer of the tactical rail system, made outstanding contributions and was not only warmly received by the military leaders but also praised. When asked why Lin Weiguo had the idea to develop this tactical rail system, he frankly said that it was because he heard that the country was going to establish an experimental special forces unit and he hoped that this unit could use the best light weapons that could be compatible with the current mainstream single-soldier light weapon systems internationally. After some thought, he came up with the Lin-style tactical rail system.

  It was highly praised by the leaders of the military region, and it was a great honor for the entire military sub-district. Overjoyed, but also to celebrate, Liu Fengcai, the commander of the military sub-district, ordered that a celebratory banquet be held at the reception office of the military sub-district, and all the main leaders of the military sub-district must attend, everyone will not leave until they are drunk!
