Chapter 3233 Eradicating the Cancer
Department Nine, Conference Room.
The meeting officially began after Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zeng, and Mr. Wang Minghai arrived together.
However, everyone's eyes were fixed on the people in front.
Mr. Chen and Mr. Peng both had stern expressions, giving off an unapproachable vibe.
Yang Xiaotao sat next to Old Chen, his face calm and his thoughts unreadable.
Both Zhang Lao and Wang Minghai had heard about the recent events at the Ninth Division, especially the theft of the two sets of aircraft design drawings created by Yang Xiaotao and his team.
This is a very important matter.
Especially since these planes were all prepared for them.
The carrier-based aircraft were intended for the Han Wudi-class aircraft carrier, and the remaining piece was a puzzle to supplement its combat power.
It's safe to say that the person most furious and annoyed by the leak of these design drawings is undoubtedly the Ninth Department, the party involved.
And then there are the users!
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's current calm and composed demeanor is quite different from his usual sunny and cheerful appearance.
The group clearly felt a sense of impending doom.
Then look at Elder Zhang and Elder Qin next to Yang Xiaotao.
This sight caused everyone to frown once again.
To be honest, everyone could understand why Old Zhang looked so worried.
After all, the hummingbird design was rejected, so it's understandable that they were a little upset.
But that guy, Lao Qin.
This time, they are the biggest winners.
Why does it look like it's paralyzed?
Then look at Old Wang next to me. He has a serious and stern face, but his eyes are darting around, clearly a hidden version of gloating!
These people are acting strangely!
The group glanced at each other, then suppressed their doubts and waited for the meeting to begin.
Seeing that everyone had gathered, Old Chen gently tapped the table, "Everyone's here, let's start the meeting!"
Everyone quickly sat down and listened attentively!
"I believe you all know what has happened these past two days, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here!"
"Then let's get this straight and clear today!"
Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Xiao Yang, tell me what happened!"
Everyone turned to look at him, and Yang Xiaotao, without mincing words, said directly, "Gentlemen, quite a few things have happened in our Nine Departments recently!"
"Among them, the most serious is the theft of aircraft design blueprints."
At this point, Yang Xiaotao's gaze swept over everyone, and then he said gravely, "After our extensive investigation, we have discovered that the mastermind behind this incident is the United States!"
Although everyone had suspected it, they were still shocked by the result.
It was initially thought that after the ice was broken, the relationship would continue to warm up.
Little did they know, the other party was hiding a knife behind their smile!
"Their purpose is self-evident: to spy on our aircraft, thereby gaining knowledge of our flight movements so that they can take targeted measures!"
"It now appears that the other party has obtained the relevant aircraft design drawings through various means."
Yang Xiaotao's voice was heavy. Although it has not yet been determined which type of aircraft it is, these are all important national defense forces.
Regardless of the circumstances, if it is stolen by the other party, it is a loss for the country.
The crowd's gazes turned slightly cold. If they caught this kind of behavior, they'd be lucky to even get a taste of peanuts!
Yang Xiaotao continued, "According to the subsequent investigation, our security department colleagues discovered that one of the stolen design drawings was for a single-tailed fighter jet, while the design of the other is currently undetermined."
At this point, many people in the audience were taken aback.
Then someone realized what was happening, and Wang Minghai asked, "Mr. Yang, were you referring to a single drooping tail?"
"Design drawings?"
Seeing that many people were concerned about this, Yang Xiaotao simply nodded, "Yes!"
"The intelligence we gathered from the other side proves that one of the two leaked aircraft design drawings is a fighter jet with a single vertical tail."
"Single vertical tail, I remember our J-8 has a single vertical tail!"
Old Zhang asked nervously, and Yang Xiaotao quickly shook his head, "We have the design drawings for the J-8 series in our Ninth Department. We confirmed last night that these design drawings are not for the J-8!"
"No? That's good, that's good!"
As Zhang Lao said with relief, Yang Xiaotao then said, "After we discovered this situation, we realized that this matter was not just a matter for the Ninth Department, so after reporting to the leaders and General Manager Peng today, we called you all here."
"Among those present, some are from the aircraft manufacturing department, some are from departments related to aircraft manufacturing, and some are even from departments that are upgrading aircraft!"
"In other words, everyone in your department will have access to these design drawings!"
"So, the reason we've gathered everyone here is to determine which design this is and exactly where the problem lies!"
After Yang Xiaotao said this, everyone understood what was going on.
At this moment, those who had previously been puzzled by Elder Zhang and Elder Qin's behavior all changed color.
With this single vertical tail design, we can basically rule out only nine models.
In Yang Xiaotao's words, almost everyone else present was implicated.
If this happened to anyone, not to mention anything else, they would lose all face sitting here!
No wonder Lao Qin looked so unwell.
In contrast, Old Wang looked much better.
He came to see Mr. Qian.
Since Qian Xuesen started working at the Ninth Research Institute three days a week, Wang Xuesen would come along every now and then, to watch the Ninth Research Institute's Spring Festival performance and to mooch a meal from Yang Xiaotao.
As for the affairs of the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry, they were all left to the subordinates.
Especially Ran's father; Yang Xiaotao had mentioned Ran's father's situation last time, which gave him quite a shock.
While firmly refusing, you must also "entrust him with important responsibilities," otherwise how can you retain this talent?
So this time I'm just here to watch the show.
I never expected this scandal to escalate to such a huge extent.
"Comrades!"
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, President Peng's loud voice immediately rang out, and everyone focused their attention again, then looked at President Peng.
"I don't want to elaborate on the seriousness of this matter!"
I won't say much about the consequences of this matter!
"Here!"
"I only have one request!"
"Find this cancer, and remove it!"
boom!
President Peng slammed his hand on the table, "Can you do it?!"
splash
Everyone present stood up in unison, their expressions solemn. "Yes!"
General Peng nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao!"
"To!"
"You arrange the manpower. Today, I want to know who caused the problem!"
"Yes!"
Yang Xiaotao responded loudly, then looked at everyone present.
"Comrades, this incident is no longer just a matter for our Ninth Department, but a major event involving multiple departments and even the entire aircraft manufacturing industry."
"Therefore, in order not to alert the enemy, we must conduct a covert investigation!" "You all need to personally return and deliver the aircraft design drawings to the Ninth Department. We have already arranged a place and personnel here to conduct the comparison!"
"It's 10:00 AM now!"
"Please ensure the goods are delivered before midnight!"
At this point, Yang Xiaotao signaled to everyone that they could leave.
Old Qin was the first to stand up, nodded to Yang Xiaotao, and then hurriedly walked out of the conference room.
Old Zhang nodded to Yang Xiaotao and quickly followed behind.
The others didn't say much and quickly left.
After most of the people had left, only five people remained in the conference room: Mr. Chen, General Manager Peng, Mr. Zeng, Yang Xiaotao, and Mr. Wang.
Aren't you going back to check on things?
Yang Xiaotao looked at Old Wang, and Old Chen and the other two also turned their gazes toward him.
Old Wang shook his head. "What am I looking at?"
"We don't make airplanes, we make missiles!"
Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes. "You know it's about making missiles, so why did you come?"
"It's not easy to join in this fun!"
Old Wang smiled, his eyes darting around, and then quickly said, "I was just concerned about the engine!"
"If the engine design blueprints were stolen, the consequences would be dire!"
After he finished speaking, the room became quiet, and Old Wang felt a chill on his neck.
"Can you please not speak such blunt truths?"
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and then exhaled, his face full of helplessness.
President Peng also shook his head; this was what they were most worried about.
When Yang Xiaotao told them on the phone that it wasn't their Ninth Division's aircraft design drawings, they were actually quite relieved.
But when Yang Xiaotao said that there was a possibility of leaking the design drawings of the turbofan engine, the two of them became anxious!
Cough
"that…"
Old Wang said in a low voice, "I remember there were many design drawings for this aircraft engine, but this time it's only..."
"Old Wang, don't you know something called film?"
After hearing Yang Xiaotao say that, Old Wang shut up completely!
Then I remembered that their new missiles use nine turbofan engines!
Immediately, Old Wang also became nervous, "It can't be that unlucky!"
"Otherwise, all our missiles will have been used for nothing!"
Yang Xiaotao leaned back in his chair and said helplessly, "Then I hope your mouth isn't a jinx."
Old Wang took a deep breath. How was he supposed to respond to that?
After returning from the logistics department by car, Old Qin headed towards his office.
He had a gloomy face the whole way, and no one he met dared to greet him loudly; they just kept their heads down.
When Qin Lao returned to his office, he immediately had someone bring Xiao Feng over.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"How did a meeting turn into this?"
When Xiao Feng entered, he saw that Old Qin looked unhappy, and he seemed to be suppressing a fire, as if he would be set on fire at any moment.
Old Qin glanced at Xiao Feng, recalling what Yang Xiaotao had said: right now, no one can be trusted.
Moreover, the less your subordinates know, the better.
So he said angrily, "What else can I do?"
Old Qin pointed to the east, "Yang Xiaotao from the Ninth Department, that bastard is unwilling to accept it, saying that their planes are better and we should use theirs."
"Damn it, is it so hard to admit that someone is better than him?"
"They even used the pretense of doing it for the good of the revolution, and went to Old Chen to plead for leniency, wanting to renegotiate the matter of the airplane."
"Damn it, this guy just can't stand to see us doing well."
"I'm furious!"
Old Qin sat down angrily in his chair as he spoke. Xiao Feng frowned upon hearing this, thinking that someone like Yang Xiaotao shouldn't have done such a thing.
Otherwise, why would they make such a bold statement as 'redesigning a new one'?
Judging from Qin Lao's appearance, he probably wouldn't be faking it.
Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Boss, what do we do now?"
Old Qin glanced at Xiao Feng, "What else can we do?"
"They have powerful backers and a bunch of idiots helping them, what can we do?"
"Hurry up and have someone prepare the design drawings; I'll take them over."
"Aren't they going to have a competition?"
"Then let's have a proper competition."
As Qin Lao spoke, his entire body radiated fighting spirit, and Xiao Feng unconsciously swallowed.
It feels like a fight is about to break out.
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Boss, boss, please calm down."
"This really doesn't need to be done like this."
He poured a glass of water and handed it to Old Qin, then added, "Mr. Yang is probably doing this out of resentment."
"After all, this design was so hard-earned, and so much effort went into it. It would be unpleasant for anyone to just reject it like this."
"Besides, manufacturing this aircraft is no small matter. We haven't even finished the framework yet, and our design drawings are only theoretically feasible. Who can guarantee that there won't be any problems with the subsequent assembly, inspection, and test flights!"
"On the contrary, none of the designs that General Manager Yang has produced over the years have failed, and these nine models already have the experience of successful production by Baiju."
Old Qin held his cup and drank water, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
Especially towards the end, it was as if their side shouldn't have gotten this opportunity.
It seems like this should be done by the Nine Departments.
What's the big deal?
Even their own people don't think it's good?
Are you sure it's someone from the Logistics Department, and not someone from the Ninth Department?
boom!
Old Qin slammed the cup down on the table, interrupting him directly, "Alright, stop rambling on."
"Go and find the design drawings and load them onto the truck."
"Also, arrange for the security department to accompany them."
"I'll be leaving in a bit."
Xiao Feng licked his lips and nodded quickly, "I'll take care of it right away."
He then ran out of the office.
Then, Old Qin sighed heavily, looked out the window, and remembered what President Peng had said.
Find the cancer and eradicate it.
At this moment, thinking of the various strongholds and small groups within the logistics department, a murderous glint appeared in Old Qin's eyes.
"Perhaps it's time to make a change."
