In the office, after hearing what the staff said, Kikwete fell silent again.
After a few seconds, he nodded and said to the staff member:
"Invite him to the reception room, and I'll go see him right away."
"Also, give him his book back!"
The staff member nodded, took two books and left the office. A moment later, Kikwete, who was sitting there, sighed, slightly raised the corners of his mouth to reveal an obscure smile, and then whispered:
"Unite all forces that can be united"
Then, he stood up, left his office, and walked to the reception room.
In the reception room, I saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man sitting there. He didn't look very old, he was in his early thirties at most, and his appearance was quite upright and handsome.
At this moment, he was sitting on a chair waiting, and he could see a bit of eagerness in his eyebrows and eyes.
"Squeak!"
With the sound of the door opening, he immediately looked in the direction of the door and saw a friendly-looking, medium-sized, middle-aged man who opened the door and walked in.
In an instant he stood up, stretched out his right hand, and said in French:
"I am Thomas Isidore Noel Sankara."
“Currently the Secretary of State for Information in the Government of Upper Volta, hello sir!”
Because Upper Volta was once a French colony, their country's official language is naturally French, while Tanzania's official language is English. Fortunately, Kikwete can speak French, and there is no problem in communication between the two.
"Hello, Jakari Kikwete, Deputy Minister of Defense of Tanzania."
"Nice to meet you, please have a seat sir."
Then Kikwete stretched out his right hand, shook hands and sat down. After sitting down, Kikwete said straight to the point:
"Mr. Sankara, I heard from the staff that you came to me because you wanted me to help you go to China?"
"To be honest, your request confuses me."
"If you want to go, you can go through normal channels in your country. Why do you need to find a way from us?"
After the staff left just now, Kikwete carefully recalled that Upper Volta should have established normal diplomatic relations with China long ago, so he could go through normal channels instead of through Kikwete.
Hearing this, Sankara, who was sitting there, smiled and said:
"You are right. If I just want to go to China, then I can go to China normally."
"But I don't just want to go to China."
Having said this, Sankara couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Over the past many years, I have studied in many countries, such as Madagascar, Morocco, and France, where I was exposed to that kind of thinking, which had a great impact on me."
"Later, when I looked around the world, there were two people that I particularly admired. The book of one of them, the one I showed you just now, benefited me a lot, and even in my heart, He is my most important teacher.”
"It's a pity that I was of low status at that time and couldn't go to China."
“Until this year, the changes in Tanzania reached our country through various channels. I was deeply touched after hearing about these changes. I deeply realized that the political situation in my country today is actually different from that of a year ago. Tanzania is similar. Agents are rampant and everyone has their own needs. What seems to be a stable situation is actually a stability on the verge of collapse. Even our decision-makers are far from your country."
Having said this, Sankara couldn't help but shook his head, smiled helplessly and said:
"I want to change something, but because I don't have enough ability, I can't do it in a complicated situation. The work I am doing also makes me feel my strong shortcomings. I hope I can learn and learn more deeply. study."
"So, I made up my mind to go to China, but it's not just about going to China. I hope to go to China to study."
"I heard that you have been studying in a special military school in China for more than a year. I am very much looking forward to it. I hope to get a letter of recommendation or introduction from you. This is the purpose of my visit."
Kikwete suddenly understood, but he was not too surprised by Sankara's request. After thinking for a few seconds, he said:
"Does it mean that with your current status, you cannot submit relevant applications from within your country?"
In response, Sankara smiled helplessly, then shook his head and said:
"No, the current situation on our side is very complicated."
"I had no chance of maneuvering, otherwise I wouldn't have traveled across Africa to come here to ask for your help."
Having said this, Sankara quickly added:
"Normally, if I make such a request, I should give you enough benefits, but I think you should look down on ordinary gold and gems, so I can only promise here that if you are willing to support me, After I return from study and take power, I will definitely promote the friendship between Upper Volta and Tanzania!"
"And this friendship is multifaceted, you know what I mean."
Hearing this, Kikwete smiled as if he didn't care, waved his hand and said:
"That's too far away, but for some reasons, I actually don't mind helping you, and it's free of charge."
"So, Mr. Sankara, how do you want me to help you?"
As soon as Kikwete finished speaking, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Sankara's face, and he said the words he had prepared long ago:
"I hope you can write a letter to your alma mater and ask the school to invite me to study there."
"Or I can ask the school to give me an admission letter."
Regarding Sankara's statement, Kikwete thought for a few seconds and then nodded and said:
"Yes, but I don't guarantee that the school will agree."
"After all, I'm just a graduate, you should understand."
Immediately, Sankara nodded quickly and said:
"I understand, of course I understand."
"I just hope you can briefly introduce me in your letter. This is my relevant resume. I hope I can gain favor from the school."
As Sankara spoke, he took out a folded document from his pocket and handed it to Kikwit respectfully. The two then talked for about ten minutes before Sankara politely left. .
After Sankara left, Kikwete's eyes flickered a few times.
After Tanzania's official forces began to counterattack, the entire war situation reversed, and the overall situation became much more stable. However, today's Tanzania is almost completely separated from the two giants, the United States and the Soviet Union. After all, it is almost destroyed. Aren't they the agents of these two giants?
But overall, although the relationship has been severed, it has not yet reached the point of complete enmity. After all, the proxy rebels have been eliminated, but the related industries of the United States and the Soviet Union in Tanzania are still normal, because whether it is the president, general, Both Kikwete and Kikwete knew that they must not completely offend the two giants at this time, otherwise the current war would not be so easy.
However, not moving now does not mean that it will not move in the future, nor does it mean that the president, general, and Kikwete are happy looking at those industries. After all, those industries are sucking the blood of Tanzania at a very low cost.
Under such circumstances, after a high-level meeting, the president and the general finally decided that Kikwete could make another trip to China before the end of the year to have face-to-face consultations on the previous package. Only when Tanzania is truly strong can we make more changes. Effective countermeasures can at least negotiate terms and have the qualifications to sit on the negotiating table, rather than being forced to obey orders just because others wave their hands.
"Perhaps we can take this guy to China?"
"As a 'gift' to them in exchange for a deeper friendship?"
"After all, such a person who is full of ambition and has a special admiration for China should be of great value, right?"
Finally, a smile appeared on Kikwete's face and he made this bold decision.
at the same time.
At 7:50 Chinese time, after Wang Ye returned, the first high-level meeting of the alliance was held.
The conference room was full of joy, everyone was smiling and chatting with each other, and the staff nearby were smiling when serving tea and water, and they moved quickly and deftly.
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet!"
"It's getting late, our meeting starts now."
With Wang Ye's voice, the huge conference room gradually became quiet. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Wang Ye said with a smile:
"First of all, I want to thank everyone for their hard work during my absence."
"Let our union prosper!"
"applaud!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a round of warm applause, and someone suddenly shouted:
"Thank you also to the factory director for personally placing orders for us!"
As soon as these words came out, the warm applause turned into thunderous applause. After the applause gradually died down, Wang Ye continued:
"Even when I came back, they didn't even let me sit down and have a cup of tea. They gave me three surprises."
"But I have to say it was a surprise! It allowed me to see everyone's abilities and ideas. To be honest, this is what makes me happiest. What we do in scientific research and manufacturing is people-oriented. Only when everyone has ideas can we have products. !”
“So, I am here to advocate and applaud our talents!”
Then, deafening applause rang out again, and it lasted for an extremely long time. Wang Ye waved his hands to signal for silence. Then after the conference room quieted down, Wang Ye coughed lightly and said with a smile:
"Since we talked about surprises, let's start today's meeting with these three surprises."
"First of all, I think the project of speeding up the 59 wheel type can be carried out, but we are currently only doing the scientific research part, and the production part needs to be postponed, at least until after spring. There are two biggest reasons. One is that we have no customers for the time being. After my business trip, the customer's purchasing power has been temporarily satisfied, and they need a certain amount of time to consume before they buy again."
Hearing Wang Ye's teasing, there was a burst of laughter. At the same time, Wang Ye continued:
"Secondly, we are short of manpower!"
"Although the matter of refurbishing tanks is not very complicated, it is a waste of manpower. At present, the overall profit of our projects is relatively high. If we deploy manpower to renovate tanks, it is not worth it. In addition, we will have 59-k firepower in the future. The support vehicle project requires a tank chassis. My original plan was to have the armored troops of the army dismantle the tank for us, send us the ready-made chassis, and then pay them part of the cost, but now the 59 wheeled speed project has been added. It’s inappropriate to do this anymore, so this is my current thinking.”
"We set up a dismantling factory and then cooperated with the army. They sent some soldiers in rotation to learn skills and work part-time to dismantle and wheel-modify tank chassis. In the future, these soldiers can be transferred directly to our factory after they retire. We dismantle the factory, and then we pay a certain fee to the troops based on the number of soldiers, which is essentially the same as before when the engineering troops came to work for us."
Hearing Wang Ye say this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. The biggest problem of the alliance at present is the lack of people, and this problem directly solves the problem of lack of low-end workers. Moreover, the soldiers are hard-working, young and have strong learning ability. , and can even be trained into high-level workers in the future. The key is to wait for them to change jobs and obtain a large number of manpower, not to mention supporting the construction of the army. It is simply killing two birds with one stone!
"Okay! I'm optimistic!"
The old factory director was the first to say this, and then there was a chorus of agreement in the conference room.
Then Wang Ye took a sip of tea before continuing:
"Next, there's the truck."
“I’ve seen the current modified product, but I always think it’s a bit exaggerated and not very safe, so I don’t agree to start mass production now. I think we must continue testing, at least until next spring, before it can be officially put into the market. , accept the test of actual transportation work.”
"However, this is just a wild approach and will not lead to a successful climate."
"So in the future, Commissioner Gao, you should still think of ways to get us some serious trucks. I will give you two directions here. One is focused on the civilian field. The goal you pursue is to run Dora fast, of course in safety. On the basis of it and being able to adapt to the complex road conditions in most areas of our country, the other one is focused on the military direction, such as it can be used to pull our rocket launchers. Our current 59-p project is shabby!"
"The chassis of the old 59 carries so many rocket launchers. It makes a squeaking sound when it runs and emits black smoke. The key is that it cannot run fast. This is definitely not possible. It must be gradually replaced in the future. Moreover, we have already taken care of the heart. The rest of the way Although there are difficulties, I don’t think there will be any problem if you take it one step at a time, so you must seize the truck project, civilian and military, and you must be strong with both hands!"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, Director Gao's face glowed red after receiving an important task, he nodded and said:
"Yes, director! We will definitely arrest him."
Wang Ye thought for a moment, and then added again:
"As for military trucks, I would like to give you a small suggestion, that is, when finalizing production from the beginning, a set of 'core' chassis structures must be determined. This structure must have sufficient scalability."
"Let me give you an example. Using this chassis, we can produce two-axle, four-axle, six-axle, and even eight-axle heavy-duty trucks."
"Wouldn't this save trouble in the future?"
