Chapter 439 We Must Pay Attention to Them

After listening to the report of the entire operation, the commander laughed and said, "It seems that the enemy still refuses to give up after being beaten last time."

Another chief laughed and said, "If you don't give up, you'll make a fool of yourself."

Everyone laughed.

"Last time we bound demons at sea, this time we killed enemies in the air. Great, great! We're using both sea and air! If they dare to come again, we'll continue to eat them! We're just afraid that they'll eat too many of our soldiers."

The chief was very humorous. He turned to the other officer and said, "It's hard for you to work hard again. You just saw the soldiers for a few days and you have to make another trip."

"I'm willing to make two more trips for something like this, hahaha."

But what everyone present didn’t know was that after this incident, the enemy never dared to send P-2V or other aircraft with similar capabilities to interfere.

This also led to the Tu-4 special aircraft being selected with a high number of votes and ranking at the top in the online selection of "too successful to lose employment" equipment in the future.

The reason is simple - "After the first aircraft of this equipment shot down the intended combat target in the first battle, it was too successful. Throughout its life, its intended combat target never appeared again. Not only did it cause itself to lose its job, but its second and third brothers, who were still in their infancy, also had no chance to realize their ambitions."

The leader looked through the combat materials and smiled, "This time we used the northern equipment and modified it with our new weapons to defeat the enemy. The combination of local and foreign weapons is still very effective."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee laughed and said, "Commander, it's not that backward anymore. According to researchers, our missiles are more advanced than those of the Americans. As for the Russians, they took the samples we sent them, and they haven't even finished copying them yet."

According to the original agreement on sending samples, the Russians were supposed to send back the results after they completed the imitation. There is still no news yet, which means that their imitation has not been completed yet.

The leader was very happy about this, holding a cigarette between his fingers and waving it in the air: "I told you that our comrades, as long as they have time and support, can achieve better results than others."

As he spoke, he continued to look through the combat report with great interest. Suddenly, a familiar name caught his eye, which startled him and he asked.

"Comrade Xiao Gao, did he also play a role in this operation?"

The leader of the Defense Work Committee was also stunned. How could you look at such a small matter so carefully?

He had no choice but to briefly talk about Gao Zhendong's contributions to the Tu-4 modification, infrared air-to-air missiles, and radar signal processing computers: "This comrade is relatively young, has a flexible mind, and can come up with some good ideas that will make people's eyes light up, and is also relatively productive."

The leader smiled and said, "Flexible thinking is good. We need more comrades who can jump out of the existing rules and regulations so that we can broaden our horizons and ideas and get things done quickly, efficiently and economically."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's just that sometimes it's too flexible, making it hard for people to deal with it."

This kind of thing must be very interesting when you hear about it: "Oh? Tell me about it, tell me about it." With the good news as a backdrop, the atmosphere was very relaxed, and the leader was in the mood to listen to some interesting stories.

Are you interested in this, too?

I've said it all. If you're willing to listen, then I'll just say it.

He knew that this matter would not affect everyone's impression of Gao Zhendong. To a certain extent, everyone present looked at Gao Zhendong, given their age, as if they were looking at a naughty child.

After hearing that Gao Zhendong wanted the third-class merit, everyone present had a feeling that "today they have finally opened their eyes." They had seen people asking for higher awards and they had also seen people asking for lower awards, but Comrade Gao Zhendong's reason for asking for lower awards was truly unheard of and unbelievable.

It turned out that it was because he only had first- and second-class merits and wanted a third-class merit to make it a perfect number.

This comrade is really capable, as can be seen from the fact that he wanted to be awarded the third-class merit but failed to do so.

It's outrageous, this is really outrageous, he actually wanted the third-class merit.

The matter is quite outrageous, but this outrageous reason makes it difficult for people to be really angry.

Everyone finally understood where the Defense Work Committee leader's bitter smile came from. If they were in his place, they would also feel bitter.

There are only a few exceptions.

The romantic leader was also stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he burst into laughter: "This young comrade is very interesting. You guys are too old-fashioned and don't know how to help others achieve their goals. What a good thing! Wouldn't it be better to have more revolutionary romanticism?"

The leader of the Defense Work Committee secretly groaned in his heart, it was okay for the young comrade to make trouble, but why are you trying to stir up trouble by joining in?

"Isn't this...inappropriate? I was thinking about Zigong redeeming people and Zilu accepting cattle."

The chief laughed, "You are overthinking. The Analects of Confucius says it well, 'If one seeks benevolence and obtains it, why complain?' For this young comrade, the third rank is a timely help, and the first rank is icing on the cake. In my opinion, give him the third rank. As for your concerns, they are simple. Just don't make them public for the time being."

Judging from the leader's suggestion, he really treated Gao Zhendong's request as a matter of great revolutionary romanticism. You want a grand slam, you want to make it even, you would rather exchange high for low, then fine, then let your idea be satisfied.

This treatment is very interesting. Even if Gao Zhendong's achievement was changed to a third-class merit, it would not be as interesting as this. It seems that everything is logical and meets all requirements, but in fact it feels a little off. With the final decision of the leader, this "most awesome third-class merit" was released after it was declassified and circulated by netizens.
-
A few days later, when Gao Zhendong was preparing LED materials for Lou Shouxing, the old acquaintance from the Defense Work Committee came again.

He handed a box to Gao Zhendong and said with a smile: "My boss asked me to tell you that this is what you wanted. I finally got it for you."

Gao Zhendong was a little confused. What did this mean?
When he opened the box and took a closer look, he was really happy. The leader talked a lot, but he was reliable when it came to doing things. Here it comes.

It's a third-class merit. In my two lifetimes combined, I have served in the army, fought in battles, studied and researched, and risked my life, but this is the only one. It's not a loss at all.

Why does this sound a little wrong?

Gao Zhendong saw the visitor off and happily called the leader of the Defense Work Committee.

"Thank you, leader. We are all here now."

The leader's answer was rather helpless: "Don't thank me. According to me, this thing shouldn't be given to you. But someone said they would give it to you, and I can't do anything about it. Just be happy about it. I don't want this favor."

What's the matter? There's someone you can't get over? Hiss~~~~~I can't think about this matter too much.

"No matter what, it was sent from you, so I should thank you." Seeing that the old man was in a bad mood, Gao Zhendong quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, if you really want to thank me, then please pay more attention to my work here."

"Okay, don't worry, I will complete the task." I care most about your work here, Gao Zhendong thought.

After several naval and air battles with huge technological gaps, the other side has been basically pinned down. Who's next?
-
The north is the home of the Russians.

Looking at the assistant who came in hurriedly, the minister smiled. This comrade was still so impatient and his mentality was still easy to see.

"Relax, my dear comrade Linochka. Nothing is worth your haste, not even if the West Hans are attacking."

Comrade Minister's assumption is a bit too ridiculous. Hans the cat was gradually castrated by them and the Citigroups, and there was nothing left except a bunch of fat soldiers who drank Coke and went to and from work on time.

Even Europa's foot cloth later seemed more reliable than Hans the cat, even after East and West Hans merged.

"No, no, no, my comrade minister, things are not that serious. I just found something interesting. Maybe in your opinion, that's a good thing." Linochka knew very well that her minister had views that were different from the mainstream on certain things.

"You are my angel, my comrade Linochka. Tell me, what new discoveries have you made?"

"Our comrades in the south shot down a P-2V on the other side a few days ago, at night, under interference, at low altitude, in the mountains." Linochka stated several conditions very clearly, emphasizing each word as if to emphasize something.

"That's not surprising, my dear Linochka. Just a few days ago, they shot down a plane of the same type over the sea. Once they find a way, the same problem will no longer bother them. They have the ability to do so."

"I am convinced of that, but we have received some other information which may interest you."

"Are you so sure?"

"Yes, the news said that this time they used air-to-air missiles to shoot down the enemy planes, unlike the last time when they used fighter jet cannons to shoot down the enemy. " Linochka said word by word.

"Hmm... they surprised me. I remember they copied our K-5 missile?"

"Comrade Minister, I think you know the performance of the K-5 missile. Even if it is not in the background of strong clutter in the low-altitude mountainous area, its combat effectiveness is extremely limited, let alone the results of their imitation. The hope is even slimmer."

"Then can you tell me what kind of missile they used? I think your information should include this."

"Infrared air-to-air missiles. They used infrared air-to-air missiles. I don't know the specific situation, but I can confirm this."

"Oh my God, this is not good news. Our missiles have not yet been copied, and they have even shot down enemy planes." Although the minister really wanted someone to share the pressure for his country, the news still made him a little depressed.

"Can we take the initiative to communicate with our comrades in the south about the situation of air-to-air missiles? The comrades in Lubyanka are a bit slow. Every time they make progress, they never see the results."

"Well, I agree, Comrade Linochka. We can take the initiative and ask them. After all, the channels between the two sides have not been severed, and we still have many areas for cooperation and communication." The minister nodded in agreement.

In Gao Zhendong's previous life, even though the relationship deteriorated, the communication between the two sides was not completely cut off in the early stages.

In this life, thanks to Gao Zhendong's efforts, this kind of communication is more numerous, broader and deeper than in previous lives.

"We must pay more attention to them!" The minister added emphatically to Linochka who was about to go out.
