Jiao Dalin predicted that Dong Yimin was not aimless in the investigation of the Fenjin Factory. So, Dong Yimin, who left the Fenjin Factory, did not return to the N fleet as the same way, but turned around and went to the Bolin Water Police District in the name of inspection.

But he did not go to the berth like in previous inspection procedures, but went straight to the communication room and asked to call the commander of the N fleet, report his way of dealing with sea provocations and investigating the situation of the Fenjin Factory, and then expressed his thoughts: "I think we can give it a try!"

After hearing this, the phone suddenly fell into a long silence. It was obvious that the commander of the N fleet on the other end of the phone was measuring the pros and cons of it. Dong Yimin was not in a hurry, and just held the phone up and waited for a decision.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was an echo on the other end of the phone: “I talked to the political commissar what you just said, thinking that it was generally in line with the current actual situation. But the problem is that Fenjin Factory is a small factory after all. Can it undertake this difficult task?”

"This is exactly why I investigated the Fenjin Factory!" Dong Yimin changed the receiver of the phone and unbuttoned the Fengji buckle on his clothes. Then he continued: "To be honest, I was surprised by the development of Fenjin Factory. They not only owned a complete set of Soviet propeller processing equipment, but also borrowed a 600-ton floating dock from the Shipping Corporation.

I even established a cooperative relationship with Hange Shipbuilding Academy, thus obtaining technical support from major factories. What is even more commendable is the atmosphere of their factories. The scene where everyone is fighting to work almost made me think I was back in the early 1950s.

Of course, the most important thing is that they have a complete set of mature technologies in shock absorption and noise reduction, which can save a lot of time. After all, what we lack the most now is time."

It seemed that the last sentence "What is missing is time" resonated with the leader of the N fleet on the other end of the phone. As soon as Dong Yimin finished speaking, a short voice different from his previous calm voice sounded from the receiver of the phone: "Have you ever checked the construction level of their factory? How is the situation?"

Dong Yimin knew that this was the voice of the political commissar of the N fleet, so he quickly responded: "I took the cruise ship they had just started and ran on the sea for an hour. The noise of the whole ship was very well controlled, at least much stronger than many of our warships."

As soon as these words came out, the other end of the phone fell silent again. Dong Yimin knew that this was the final decision of the commander and the political commissar. Sure enough, a few minutes later, the commander's voice came from the receiver again: "Since you are the general manager of this aspect, then do what you think. If you still say the same thing, the Fleet Party Committee is not afraid of taking responsibility!"

There is no need for any bold words, just this sentence is enough!

...

Guo Huaisheng was a little nervous. He didn't know why the Chief of Staff wanted to see him by name. He was just the logistics director of Bolin's port. There was a commander above. If you want to see him, you should see the commander. What should you do when you see him? Could it be that the berth's dredging work has been slow recently?

It is impossible. From last year to now, with four dredging ships modified by the Fenjin Factory in place, the dredging work at Bolin's port has been fully launched. Not only did it return the berths to fourteen, but two of them were also expanded into deep-water berths, so that it can dock giant ships with a capacity of more than 5,000 tons.

Now the four dredging ships have started dredging of the waterway. It is estimated that by the second half of the year, the conditions for the entire Bolin Borch Port will have a qualitative leap. Will there be problems with such achievements?

Guo Huaisheng's head was spinning like a running propeller, and suddenly a light of inspiration appeared in his mind, and his whole body was sweating in cold sweat: "It's not that he is going to be cut off by a disarmament!"

Guo Huaisheng was not a random thought. Since 1980, in response to the huge military personnel and low efficiency, the country has gradually laid off its excess troops. By 1982, the process began to accelerate because at the end of this year, the railway troops that had existed for 30 years were cancelled as a whole.

This process is even more unstoppable in 1983. There are even rumors that the Military Commission has issued a hard indicator that those who fail to meet the age, position and qualifications will be laid off.

Guo Huaisheng has been young for twenty years since joining the army, but after working hard, he has only been a regular battalion-level logistics director stationed in Bogang. Whether in terms of age or position, he should be the target of being laid off.

Now that the Chief of Staff is looking for him alone for no reason, isn’t this even more obvious!

The more Guo Huaisheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. The more he felt that this was the case, the more sweat he had on his body, and his hands were reluctant to leave and touching his military uniform.

Just when Guo Huaisheng was in a state of chaos, Dong Yimin's guards hurried over and informed him that he could go in.

Guo Huaisheng seemed to have accepted his fate, nodded and followed the guards to walk towards Dong Yimin's office.

...

"You have been in the army for seventeen years, right?"

"Seventeen years, seven months and twenty-three days!"

"I remember it's quite clear!"

"I have never forgotten the responsibility on my shoulders since the day I joined the army, so I have always remembered it very clearly."

"Have you forgotten the responsibility? Guo Dapao, don't be here to enlighten me. I know more about what you look like. If you have a little sense of responsibility in your heart, why are the cadres in the same class at the regiment level and deputy division level? But why are you at the battalion level?"

Guo Huaisheng finally stopped talking. This was the first time he was silent after entering the house. He had been very active before, because he left a good impression in the Chief of Staff's heart. Unfortunately, the Chief of Staff was his instructor after all, and now he is his immediate boss's immediate boss. He knows him so much, but he doesn't know what to say at all.

I don’t know how long I was silent, but Guo Huaisheng’s eyes suddenly turned red and his voice was hoarse, “Chief of Staff, can you give me another chance? I really don’t want to take off my military uniform. Even if I don’t become a cadre, I can be a big soldier!”

"Now, crying, what have you done?" Dong Yimin slapped the table in front of him with a grudge, which made Guo Huaisheng shudder. He actually scared the tears in his eyes. Perhaps even he was a little contemptuous of himself, so he lowered his head in shame: "I...I..."

"Okay, I can't make a fuss even after a long time. I'll pack up tomorrow and go to the Fenjin Factory to be a military representative!"

Before Guo Huaisheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dong Yimin. As a result, Guo Huaisheng was almost frightened when he heard the first half of the sentence. But as the three words "military representative" were heard, he was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Chief of Staff, you... aren't you going to lay off me?"

"Who did you hear? It's not my turn to lay it down. But you kid remember that if you are still as careless as before in the Fenjin Factory, no one needs to come. I took off your military uniform myself!"
