The next day. Early morning!
Zhou Yang got up early, but he did not go to the research institute. Instead, he loaded the rice, flour, grains, oils and various meats prepared in advance into the car, and then took Chen Beixuan to the family area at the back.
Today Liu Yunlong is sending Li Qian to study in the capital, so Zhou Yang plans to ask him to carry these things over and give them to his wife.
Even though Beijing is the capital, the supply of supplies is not very abundant.
Especially when it comes to grain and meat, you need to vote for everything, and you may not be able to buy it.
But now that the family has a large population, and his daughter-in-law is relatively economical, Zhou Yang is really worried that they will not be able to eat well.
Anyway, there is a lot of food in the village and it is convenient to eat meat, so after learning that Liu Yunlong was leaving for the capital today, Zhou Yang became busy.
In the family area, Liu Yunlong is having breakfast with Li Qian.
In addition to the couple, there was also a stern-looking lesbian in the room. The three of them were eating and chatting, planning today's itinerary.
At this moment, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside.
Looking out the window, they saw Zhou Yang and Chen Beixuan getting out of the car and striding into the yard.
Liu Yunlong immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks and came out to welcome him!
As soon as they met, Zhou Yang asked: "Yunlong, how are you two preparing? When will you leave?"
"Everything is packed and I plan to leave after dinner!" Liu Yunlong said with a smile.
"That's good. I've brought something for your sister-in-law and children. You can bring it over later!" Zhou Yang said.
"good!"
The three of them walked and talked, and soon returned to the house.
Seeing Zhou Yang come in, Li Qian, who was pregnant with her belly, hurriedly said hello: "Brother Zhou, have you and Xiao Chen eaten? If not..."
"Haha, I've already eaten. You're heavy, so stop working!"
Then Zhou Yang looked at the strange female comrade next to him, and then said: "Are you Comrade Li Haiyan?"
"Hello, chief, I am Li Haiyan!"
"Well, from now on, the safety of my family and the children will be left to you and Comrade Rufeng!" Zhou Yang said.
"Please rest assured, chief, we will protect the ladies and the others to the death, and we will never give enemy agents an opportunity to take advantage of them!" Li Haiyan said loudly.
"good!"
Then Zhou Yang looked at Li Qian again, and said: "Xiao Qian, Yunlong should have told you that after you give birth, you can move in with your sister-in-law and the others. You're welcome, just treat it as your own home!"
"Well, thank you, Brother Zhou!" Li Qian said gratefully.
Zhou Yang nodded, and then said again: "It's getting late. You should pack up and leave early. Yunlong, follow me outside and put your things in your car!"
"yes!"
Afterwards, several people walked out of Liu Yunlong's house and walked outside the gate.
However, when Liu Yunlong opened the door of the small jeep Zhou Yang was riding in and saw the back row full of supplies, he was stunned.
In addition to a few snakeskin pockets, there was actually a large basket filled with bacon.
There was even a large piece of pork that had not yet been frozen on the back seat. Judging from the color of the meat, it should be a pig that was just killed yesterday.
"There are so many, we may not be able to fit them in our car!" Liu Yunlong said helplessly.
“Prioritize loading this meat into the truck, and I’ll figure out a way for the rest!”
Yesterday, Zhou Yang and Lu Zhengjun talked on the phone and talked about Li Linzhang. He immediately said that he would send a car over today.
Therefore, Zhou Yang didn't expect Liu Yunlong to help carry all these things. After all, a small jeep really couldn't hold much.
Moreover, he also knew that Li Qian would give birth soon, and Liu Yunlong would definitely prepare a lot of things for her in advance. Plus the luggage and other things, it would definitely not be possible to carry it.
Soon, several people moved some supplies to Liu Yunlong's car.
At this time, Li Qian and Li Haiyan also packed up, locked the door, and then boarded the car and set off...
........
After seeing off Liu Yunlong and his wife, Zhou Yang was planning to go to the brigade headquarters.
However, as soon as the car started, Zhou Yang heard the roar of the car.
Immediately afterwards, a jeep appeared at the entrance of the alley and drove quickly towards their location!
Since the alley was not deep, the car drove over quickly and stopped directly in front of Zhou Yang and Chen Beixuan.
"squeak!"
After a harsh braking, Zhou Yang saw a figure jumping out of the car.
A closer look revealed that it was Fan Debiao who came down.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately got out of the car.
"Lao Fan, why are you here?"
"I finally found you. There is an emergency order from above. Lao Gu asked me to find you back as soon as possible!" Fan Derbiao said anxiously.
"Urgent order, do you know what it is?" Zhou Yang asked hurriedly.
"I'm not sure, but looking at Lao Gu, he must be very anxious!" Fan Debiao replied.
"Okay, then let's go back quickly!"
After saying that, Zhou Yang returned to the car again and ordered Chen Beixuan to rush to the research institute immediately.
Soon, the car returned to the institute.
Zhou Yang went straight to Gu Chenghua's office, then opened the door and walked in.
In the office, Gu Chenghua was frowning at a piece of telegram in his hand. When he saw Zhou Yang coming in, he immediately said, "My Director Zhou, you are finally back!"
"What's wrong? Lao Fan said there was an emergency order from above. What's going on?" Zhou Yang asked immediately.
Gu Chenghua did not answer Zhou Yang's question, but handed the document in his hand to him and said at the same time: "You should read it yourself!"
Zhou Yang was not polite and immediately took the document and read it.
The length of the document was limited, and Zhou Yang finished reading it quickly. The document contained only one content, which was that the Central Military Commission ordered all troops and units to immediately cease the fifth major disarmament, and required technical arms that would retire within two years to immediately Return to the army.
At the same time, for those soldiers who have retired and are scheduled to work, once they receive the order to return to the army, no one or any unit can stop them.
After reading the telegram, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel shocked.
The reason why the higher-ups issued this order is obviously because the situation in southern Xinjiang is out of control. It seems that the situation in southern Xinjiang is far worse than imagined, and it has actually affected our army's disarmament actions.
You must know that disarmament is part of the plan to strengthen the army formulated by Mr. Instructor, and it has started since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In response to changes in situations and tasks, we have undergone five large-scale organizational adjustments in recent years. The army has gradually transformed from quantity-based to quality-effective. The total strength of the army has dropped sharply from tens of millions before to less than six million. .
The fifth major disarmament began at the end of 1975. According to the plan, the total strength of the entire army will be reduced to about 4 million within three years, with the scale of disarmament reaching as high as 29%.
Originally, the disarmament work was going smoothly, and the expected disarmament goals were expected to be completed by the end of this year. However, due to the rapid deterioration of the situation in southern Xinjiang, in order to cope with the possibility of war at any time, the higher authorities had to urgently halt this major disarmament.
Putting the message in his hand back on the desk, Zhou Yang looked at Gu Chenghua and said, "Lao Gu, are there any other instructions above?"
"Yes, the Provincial Military Region has given us a list of veterans who have been assigned to our unit after being discharged in the past year or two. Now the Provincial Military Region requires them to return to the army immediately and enlist in the army for the second time!" Gu Chenghua said.
"how many people?"
"47 people. Some of these people are in the gun sight radar production factory, and some are in the printing factory!"
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "Since it is an order from above, we must resolutely implement it!"
"Well, I have already called Chen Shang and Lao Yang and asked them to send these veterans to the research institute as soon as possible!" Gu Chenghua said.
"It should!"
Then Zhou Yang changed his voice and said again: "Lao Gu, the superiors stopped disarmament and allowed retired soldiers to return to the army. This shows that the situation in southern Xinjiang has reached a very critical state, and a war is likely to break out!"
"In addition to fully cooperating with higher-level departments to do a good job in matters related to veterans' secondary enlistment, more importantly, we must seize the time to engage in production and ensure that artillery reconnaissance radars and airborne radars are delivered to the troops in time. I think we need to convene various factories The person in charge has had a meeting, what do you think?"
"Okay, I will immediately notify the heads of each department to come over!"
"good..."
