Chapter 315: Do you look down on us soldiers?

There was no other choice, so Zhang Chuan had to contact President Wen.

Fortunately, the number Fan Tianlei gave was indeed President Wen’s.

President Wen knew that Zhang Chuan had arrived at the entrance of the institute, so he quickly sent someone to take him in.

The visitor was an assistant in the logistics department of the Weapons Research Institute, named Li Bin.

"Hello, is this Comrade Zhang Chuan?" Li Bin saw Zhang Chuan outside the cordon and took the initiative to step forward: "My name is Li Bin, Premier Wen asked me to pick you up!"

Following Li Bin as his tour guide, Zhang Chuan finally entered the gate of the Weapons Research Institute.

"Comrade Zhang Chuan is really young and promising. He is already a weapons expert at such a young age!" Maybe it was a professional habit, Li Bin was quite talkative. Through chatting, Zhang Chuan quickly understood the details of this gun research and development task.

"So, all the other experts have arrived?" After listening to Li Bin's introduction, Zhang Chuan realized that he was the last researcher to arrive.

"Yes! Other R&D experts reported yesterday!"

"Who are they?" Zhang Chuan blurted out.

Li Bin said without hesitation: "Two of them are expert professors and doctoral supervisors from the military academy, one is a designer from the research institute, and the remaining one is you!"

"Only four people in total?"

Hearing Li Bin's affirmation, Zhang Chuan sighed inwardly.

Unexpectedly, there were only four people including him responsible for the gun research and development task.

More importantly, the others are veterans in weapons research, and only Zhang Chuan is a special forces soldier from the Langya Special Forces.

"By the way, Comrade Zhang Chuan, are you here on behalf of the army to examine the research results of several experts and professors?" Li Bin asked curiously.

In his opinion, as an excellent special forces soldier, Zhang Chuan could not have any other purpose besides testing guns.

"It seems that President Wen has not mentioned this to Li Bin!" Zhang Chuan thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "I am also here to participate in the research and development of guns!"

"Ah?" Zhang Chuan's answer left Li Bin speechless for a moment: "How is it possible... Hey, that's not what I meant!"

Seeing Li Bin's reaction, Zhang Chuan laughed: "You want to ask, how can a special forces soldier like me develop guns, right?"

"That's right!" Li Bin nodded: "I really think so!"

Li Bin went on to explain: "Comrade Zhang Chuan, you are so young, and you are both a special forces soldier and a weapons research and development expert. I never thought that you would be so young!"

"It's okay! I'm just here to make up the numbers!" Zhang Chuan said half-truthfully, "Our deputy chief of staff forced me to come here, I can't hide away!"

"Oh! I understand now!" Li Bin seemed to suddenly understand: "You are here on a business trip, right?"

Zhang Chuan rolled his eyes: "That's about right!"

Despite this little episode, Zhang Chuan and Li Bin still had a pleasant chat.

Soon, Zhang Chuan discovered that Li Bin was not the only one who was surprised by his identity.

After introducing themselves in the conference room, except for President Wen, the other three weapons research and development experts looked at Zhang Chuan with different eyes.

"Boss Wen, is this also the weapons research and development expert you invited?" A middle-aged man wearing glasses pointed at Zhang Chuan and asked Boss Wen in confusion, "He's young, but he's a so-called special forces soldier? Are you kidding me?"

The middle-aged man obviously noticed Zhang Chuan's uniform and armband.

Then he said to a tall old man and a handsome young man next to him: "You two can also tell me, isn't it too frivolous for Premier Wen to call the soldiers here?" Before Premier Wen had time to explain, Zhang Chuan's face darkened: "You mean, you look down on us soldiers?"

"You misunderstood!" The middle-aged man with glasses said with disdain: "When it comes to actual combat training, I can't compare with you, but when it comes to weapons research and development... hehe!"

"Hehe what?" Zhang Chuan asked.

"Haha, that means you are overestimating your own abilities!" The middle-aged man with glasses said with a smile, "It's funny that special forces are doing weapons research and development!"

"okay!"

When President Wen saw that the atmosphere was not right, he quickly interrupted the argument between Zhang Chuan and the middle-aged man.

"Engineer Liu, you are really something. We are all here for the mission. What's the point of arguing here?" President Wen then comforted Zhang Chuan:

"Don't take it personally, Xiao Zhang. This is Engineer Liu from the 738 Research Institute. They are technicians and sometimes they speak bluntly. Don't mind it."

With President Wen coming out to smooth things over, Zhang Chuan swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth!
Anyway, he is just here to make up the numbers, so as long as it doesn't interfere with his training, he can just hand in a plan when the time comes.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wen! Although I am young and ignorant, I still have basic respect!"

Zhang Chuan admires Premier Wen as a practical man. His child has sacrificed himself for the mission, so it is only right to give Premier Wen some face.

As for Engineer Liu from the 738 Institute, Zhang Chuan sneered in his heart!
"Haha, I'd like to introduce him to you all. He's a young talent from our cooperative unit, the Wolf Fang Special Forces. He's in his early twenties and is already a colonel in the Wolf Fang Special Forces!"

Premier Wen pointed at Zhang Chuan and said, "Comrade Zhang Chuan is also very good at weapons research. You will understand this when you work with him. I won't say more."

Afterwards, Premier Wen introduced to Zhang Chuan three other colleagues who were involved in the gun research and development and modification tasks.

The energetic old man is called Wang Shengli. He is from research institute number 738. It is said that many of the guns used by the army and local security now are the results of his research and production. Everyone respectfully calls him Mr. Wang.

The person who almost had an argument with Zhang Chuan just now is also a member of the 738 Institute. His name is Liu Ying, and he is well-known in the domestic individual weapon research and development circle.

The last young man, who is about the same age as Zhang Chuan, always smiles and looks very friendly, is called Wang Ziyue. In fact, he has an extraordinary background.

He is a disciple of Academician Chen from Huacheng.

Academician Chen's name may not be well-known outside the country, but he is one of the few experts in the country who is still active in the research and development and manufacturing of individual weapons. The pistols used in the army now are all designed and improved by Academician Chen himself.

"Now that everyone has met, let me briefly talk about this mission!"

After all, Premier Wen had been a soldier, so he was efficient and effective. Soon after they met, he began to assign tasks for the research, development and manufacturing of pistols.

"Everyone is either a soldier or works in a military-related field. You all know that since the beginning of the 21st century, the situation both at home and abroad has undergone unprecedented changes!"

"The possibility of a large-scale armed conflict, especially a direct confrontation with a world-class power, is almost non-existent!"

"At the same time, the anti-terrorism situation faced by all countries is becoming increasingly severe, and the burden of protecting national security and stability is becoming heavier!"

Premier Wen said, his face becoming more serious: "Have you ever noticed how many security personnel we have in our country now?"

"I can tell you clearly that there are more than 1.8 million people, two-thirds of whom are out there doing field work, and among these two-thirds, more than one-tenth are often in danger!"

"They are the most critical frontline fighters in our security team, numbering more than 120,000!"

Zhang Chuan had heard this information from Fan Tianlei before, so he was not surprised.

But having said so much, the next key point seems to be coming.
