The next day, after Chen Nian completed the necessary professional courses in school according to the curriculum arrangement given by Chen Guo, he returned to his room and started his first "small lesson".
This small lesson is about confidentiality regulations, but in fact, Chen Nian already had a preliminary understanding of this in his previous life.
However, he had been doing relatively marginalized work before, and he really didn't have that strong a sense of "confidentiality".
So this also led him to do many things that were at risk of leaking secrets - running to the library to draw pictures and exposing his own goals were typical mistakes.
There is no doubt that this mistake was taken out and whipped repeatedly by the teacher in charge of the confidentiality class. He mentioned it 10 times in a two-hour class, which made Chen Nianhou terrified.
Of course, this kind of teaching method did take root in his mind the illusory concept of "confidential awareness."
At least, he has formed the conditioned reflex of "thinking about whether it violates the regulations before doing something".
In addition, the teacher also explained to him in detail the current confidentiality regulations.
For example, the classification of three levels of confidentiality: top secret, secret, and secret.
Project No. 22 is currently tentatively classified as a confidential project, which means that once leaked, it may cause serious damage to national security and interests.
For the management of such confidential projects, in addition to the ten confidentiality rules, what is more important are the complicated and cumbersome implementation measures.
Including communication equipment control, personnel review, confidential information and carrier management, process management, etc.
These specific measures do not need to be written down completely, because someone will constantly remind him.
Therefore, his perception is not too strong for the time being.
For him now, the strongest feeling is that he has changed his mobile phone again.
From now on, the Motorola that Chen Guo gave him could only be used to deal with daily affairs, and it was already under surveillance.
To say that I feel uncomfortable is definitely a little bit uncomfortable.
But if you want to say how awkward it really is, it's not that big of a deal.
If you are open and honest, no matter how much monitoring you do, what can you do?
Social death?
If the comrades responsible for confidentiality work really make you feel that the society is dead, then they will probably be laid off soon.
At the end of the course, the teacher said to Chen Nian sincerely:
"Actually, you are a very good little comrade - you have a very calm temperament, you don't look like a young man."
"For people like this, confidentiality is the best thing to do."
"Because, most of the time, leaks are not due to the temptation of profit, but simple negligence and arrogance."
"Do you know how our worst leak in the last two years happened?"
"It was one of our senior researchers who took the initiative to tell the key data of a certain project because he couldn't stand the provocation of others, thus proving that we are better than some people."
"Do you think this is stupid? Do we need proof? Aren't results the best proof?"
"But by then, he had completely forgotten about it."
"So, you must hold steady."
"You have a special status. You will have more chances to encounter situations like this in the future. Don't be taken away by others, and don't fall into the trap set by others."
Chen Nian nodded solemnly. He was very confident about this.
I will never leak the secret just because I am eager to prove something.
Because I have seen the future.
In the future, time will tell.
...
While Chen Nian was undergoing confidentiality training, something related to "leakage" was happening quietly.
Guam, interior of a U.S. Air Force base.
In a heavily guarded office, two commanders with high military ranks sat opposite each other and smoked cigars.
"...So the order from Washington is clear? Requiring us to increase the frequency of investigations? Why?"
The major general with a thick beard on his chin asked.
His name is Leon, and he is a leader among the young generation of the navy. He is in the prime of life at this time, and his approach to things is extremely radical.
He has planned many "fringe operations" against China, one of which achieved considerable results - causing China to lose an aircraft.
Of course, our side was not without losses. At least most of the confidential documents on the detained reconnaissance plane were not destroyed in time.
However, compared with the symbolic "results", the importance of these secrets has been ignored.
But even such a person still had some doubts when facing the instruction he received.
Because the intention of that instruction was a little too radical.
It can even be said that it has exceeded a certain bottom line and reached an almost "provocative" level.
"The reason is very complicated. In short, it is related to China's new aircraft."
The young officer opposite replied.
"New aircraft? Did you say Firebird? I remember Washington predicted that it would be put into service next year, right?"
"At this point, no matter what we do, we can't change the outcome. Why should we waste our flying hours?"
Leon asked confused.
"No, things have changed."
"According to our reliable intelligence, China has suspended its purchase of AL-31FN, and they seem to be planning to develop their own engines."
"This engine is likely to be the WS-10 that has been approved for the project."
"There is a high probability that they will have some technological breakthrough, and the expected revenue from such a breakthrough is much higher than the revenue from the Firebird's mass production and service on time, so they would rather continue to wait."
"But the thing is, we don't want to make them wait."
"In this period, letting them own a third-generation aircraft of their own is necessary and is also the option to maximize profits."
"The average third-generation aircraft will help maintain the balance on the sea and maintain the tacit understanding between us in this area."
"If the balance is tipped, no matter which way the balance falls, it's not a good option for us."
Hearing this, Leon nodded slightly.
He already understood what the young officer from Washington meant.
"So, you just want to take advantage, but you don't want to fight or leave, right?"
"If our advantage is too big, they will burn the boat. If our advantage is too small, the situation will be reversed."
"And the key is the Firebird. It can't fly too late or too well, right?"
"That's it."
The young officer nodded without hesitation, and then continued:
"So, that's our strategy - we're going to put pressure on them in the air to get their procurement plans back on track."
"The AL-31FN must be installed on the Firebird, and the Firebird must fly into the air as soon as possible."
"We don't want their project to end...Of course, we don't want the Firebird to grow into a real Firebird. It's nice to be a turkey."
"Hahaha......"
Leon laughed, then he shook his head and said slightly contemptuously:
"You politicians always think too much... Firebird? That's just a name."
"With the current technology of the Chinese, how can it be possible to build a fighter jet that can rival us?"
"So what if we let them continue research and development? I think that maybe letting them fully recognize the facts is the way to solve the problem once and for all..."
"It's not that simple."
The young officer shook his head.
"China is not India. They have a saying: 'You can make a fortune silently'."
"This situation is the most dangerous."
"If we want to keep track of their movements, it's best to make them... well, noisy..."
