Chapter 271: Soviet Russia came to the steel mill to plan and report (please subscribe!)
After towing the car back to the steel mill, Li Kailang went to the staff hospital to visit Master Lin.

After asking the nurse for the location, I found Master Lin and Lu Wenjiang.

"What do you mean?" Li Kailang asked.

Lu Wenjiang said: "The doctor said it's nothing serious. Master Lin just had some bleeding and minor injuries. He will be able to recover after a few days of rest."

Li Kailang saw that Master Lin was asleep and breathing steadily, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

"By the way, have you told Master Lin's family?"

Lu Wenjiang said, "Yes, I asked Master Lin's apprentice to notify them. They should be here soon."

Li Kailang said: "Okay, then I will go back and help Master Lin repair the car first."

Lu Wenjiang nodded: "Thank you for your help."

The two chatted for a few minutes, and then Li Kailang went back to repair the car. Fortunately, the car was not damaged too seriously.

As soon as he left, Master Lin's family rushed over in a hurry.

Lu Wenjiang said something to the doctor and then left.

the next day.

Li Kailang went to work as usual. Master Lin's truck had been almost repaired, and all that was left was to put the glass back in place.

"Huh? Foreigners?" Li Kailang was about to drive out of the steel mill when he noticed several unfamiliar jeeps slowly driving into the factory.

A group of foreigners got off the car, and Li Kailang was somewhat surprised by their appearance.

During this special period, most of the foreign friends who could come to the city of Sijiu were from the north.

This caused ripples in Li Kailang's heart, and his thoughts drifted back to the depths of that period of history.

"Sue. Hungry?"

"1959?"

The collision of these two words instantly made Li Kailang's mind flash with the scene depicted in the history textbook.

In 1960, our relationship with the Soviet Union took a sharp turn for the worse. The Soviet Union tore up the agreement, and then they burned a lot of information and withdrew nuclear and missile experts.

In addition to bringing many of our defense industry projects to a standstill, the biggest impact has been on the development of our nuclear industry.

In addition, because they unilaterally tore up the agreement, we have to repay more than 6 billion rubles in the next 70 years.

This made the already difficult situation in Beijing even worse, and the deaths of many innocent people were closely related to this.

"Now that we have encountered this, we must help them and make preparations before they tear up the agreement, even if it is only a small change."

Of course, the premise is to protect yourself!!!

Li Kailang believes that it is impossible for most people to remain indifferent and stand idly by in the face of such things, and they will definitely do something even if it is impossible.

It's not just for the city of Beijing, but also for the innocent people.

Now is not the most embarrassing time. The most embarrassing time was during this National Day military parade when Khru suddenly said, "Regarding the production of atomic bombs, we have decided to withdraw the experts."

Comrade Chairman: "It is a need, but it is not a big deal. If you can help us technically, that would be great. If you cannot help, it is up to you to consider and decide."

Although the comrade's calm answer bluntly pushed back, the result was self-evident.

Fortunately, all this started happening in the second half of 1960.

Terminate the agreements signed by the two countries, abolish a number of scientific and technological cooperation projects, and return the 350 billion yuan debt owed for purchasing its weapons and equipment during the war.

Khru ordered the withdrawal of experts, obviously wanting us to compromise and sacrifice our interests in exchange for his "protection".

But what Heru didn't expect was that we did not succumb to him.

No matter how difficult it is, we will tighten our belts and fight for this, and strive to pay off the debt within five years.

"Let's complete the task first, and we'll consider this matter in the long run." Li Kailang watched the car carrying the experts slowly disappear from his sight.

"Boom boom——" Drive and go to do the mission.

After completing the mission, Li Kailang sat in the car and thought about a solution.

First of all, he naturally cannot get himself involved. Li Kailang has a strong desire to serve his country, but he also does not want to be caught and dissected and used as a guinea pig.

You cannot write a letter by yourself and expose your handwriting. Otherwise, if someone finds it through your handwriting, the result will be the same.

Then we can only use the simplest but tedious method - clipping newspapers.

Cut out the words and sentences you need from the newspaper and piece them together to form the message you want to convey.

This way he could avoid exposing his identity and handwriting, while also conveying his ideas and suggestions to his superiors.

Thinking of this solution, Li Kailang felt relieved.

On the other side, the workshop.

"Mr. Vasily, please take a closer look at what's wrong with this machine?" the translator asked nervously.

Vasily Ram, a senior engineer from Suzhou, was the key person invited to solve the rolling mill failure.

After Vasily Ram finished inspecting the steel mill, his eyes turned and he took out the disassembled parts and said to the translator:

"How did you use it? You guys broke this machine. Look at this part. There's a crack."

"In addition to this, the machine has at least five other damages of varying degrees."

Director Yang looked at the translator, who relayed Vasily Ram's story to Director Yang.

After hearing this, Director Yang felt a sinking feeling in his heart. The steel rolling mill had been broken for four or five days, which made all the leaders very worried.

The eighth-level workers and engineers in the factory checked it several times and only found part of the problem, so they didn't dare to repair it and just waited for Su E's people to come.

Despite the detailed instructions, they were worried that once the eighth-level worker repaired such a sophisticated machine, it might cause greater damage.

"Mr. Vasily Ram, can you please handle this? Of course, we will pay for the relevant expenses."

Director Yang looked at Vasily Ram, and the translator translated it for him in time.

Hearing this, Vasily Ram's eyes moved slightly. It was not difficult for him to repair it.

He was an eighth-level worker and was very familiar with the rolling mill. It was easy for him to make a few parts to replace the damaged ones.

But he couldn't repair it. He recalled what his superiors had said to him before Sijiucheng:

"Vassili Ram, when you go there, no matter how simple the matter is, you must make it sound big. It's best to ask them to buy one. We still have a lot of scrapped machines in our warehouse."

This put him in a dilemma.

On the one hand, he would love to solve the problem easily and earn a nice reward.

When you come to the steel mill on a business trip, the steel mill has to pay for various expenses such as food, accommodation, travel expenses, etc., which add up to a lot.

In just a dozen days, Vasily Lamu earned three or four months' salary in the Soviet Union.

On the other hand, he could not disobey the instructions of his superiors.

After weighing the pros and cons, Vasily Ram shook his head helplessly and said to Director Yang: "I'm sorry, I can't repair such a delicate part.

"It's not because of my personal ability, but because you don't have the right materials here."

"Even if I can make a replacement part, it is very likely that the rolling mill will be scrapped after running for a period of time."

In short, it is not right to blame all the problems on the steel mill.

After hearing this, Director Yang was very anxious: "What should we do? Mr. Vasily Ram, do you have any other ideas?"

This rolling mill is an important equipment in the steel rolling mill. Once it is scrapped, it will bring huge losses.

Translated by the translator.

Vasily Ram shook his head. "There is no other way. Either import parts from our country or replace the machine."

"Imported parts? Replace one?" When Director Yang heard this, it was as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing in his mind.

For imported parts, even if we only import a few parts, the shipping cost is more expensive than the parts themselves.

As for replacing one, it is even more impossible. There is not enough foreign exchange for steel rolling mills, and there is no support from above.

Director Yang was unwilling to give in: "Mr. Vasily Ram, is there really no other way?"

Vasili Ram shook his head firmly. "Please think about it carefully. I will wait for you for three days. Think about it carefully, okay?"

After saying that, Vasily Ram left, leaving Director Yang and a group of leaders, eighth-level workers, and engineers looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Bah! I think either he can't fix it, or he doesn't want to fix it for us and wants our money!" a leader cursed.

"What else can we do? We can't find the problem, and we can't fix it. What else can we do?"

"If it doesn't work, let's fix it ourselves. Not only is he asking for too much, he's also trying to shirk responsibility."

"No, if we repair it, they won't recognize our things and can't repair it."

The leaders were discussing the issue at once, but they couldn't come to a decision. Director Yang listened to the noisy voices and shouted, "That's enough!"

Director Yang looked at them and then at the rolling mill. "Stop the machine first. The people haven't left yet. Think about it carefully in the next few days."

After saying that, Director Yang turned and left. He still had a lot of things to do and couldn't waste time here.

"What a shame." Everyone couldn't help but sigh, looking at the rolling mill.

"Mr. Yi, what do you think we should do?" Mr. Zhao, another level eight fitter, couldn't help but ask.

Yi Zhonghai shrugged helplessly, "It depends on the leader. To be honest, I can make the parts, but what will happen if I make them?"

Su E's rolling mill is under warranty, and if there is any problem they will send someone to inspect it.

But only their parts can be used. Once the steel mill replaces them with its own parts, the warranty will be void.

Once there is a problem with the rolling mill, they will not care and will not send anyone to repair it. You can only buy a new rolling mill to replace it.

They are so domineering, but who makes us inferior to others? The machines are made by others.

Vasily Ram returned to the foreign guest hotel, told the front desk that breakfast was ready, and went back to his room to rest.

After breakfast was served, Vasily Lamu crossed his legs and sipped his coffee, sighing:

"Oh, it's a pity that I can't make a lot of money, but I can still make a lot of money by going out, just like traveling."

Time passed unknowingly and the bell for the end of get off work rang.

Director Yang still did not come to any conclusion, so the rolling mill had to be shut down temporarily.

Fortunately, there are sufficient reserves in the warehouse, and the loss of a rolling mill in a short period of time will not have a big impact on production and profits, but this will not work in the long run.

After work, Li Kailang rode his bicycle and went to buy a newspaper instead of returning to the courtyard.

Since he had decided to use clippings to convey information, he naturally had to buy newspapers. Li Kailang went to several newspaper offices and bought different versions of newspapers.

After returning home, Li Kailang sat at the table, with a prepared speech in his mind.

Just as I was about to pick up the pen to write, I suddenly stopped.

"It's better to be cautious. Let's write in another place." With this thought, Li Kailang came to the planting space.

"Nothing will be discovered this way, and even if it is discovered, they won't be able to find evidence."

In the planting space, Li Kailang began to seriously prepare his report and wrote down the contents to be submitted one by one.

The first thing is naturally the breakdown of relations between the two sides, the destruction of national defense information, the collection and protection work in advance, and the repayment of the 350 billion yuan in debt.

Secondly, there will be famine in the future. The amount of grain in various places should be reduced, and the grain should not be exported.

"Got it. With these two, even if we don't believe them completely, at least we can pay attention and avoid difficulties. We can be prepared."

Li Kailang looked at the draft with joy, but he was still a little worried that his superiors would not take it seriously and think it was exaggerated.

After all, the contents of the letter, from the perspective of later generations, were all destined.

But from the perspective of people today, it can only be said that there are signs, not absolutes.

Just like the weather forecast, it says it will rain today, but it may not rain.

"I feel like something is missing. No, I still have to add something more, but what should I add? I have written down everything that should be written." Li Kailang muttered to himself.

Staring at the words on the paper, I suddenly remembered something.

Li Kailang slapped his head and suddenly realized: "Oh, right, I can write Daqing Oilfield. It has been mined there, so it must be a place of great trust."

"With this, it should be able to convince the people above and increase the success rate by 20 percent."

Thinking of this, Li Kailang immediately wrote about Daqing Oilfield, which would definitely attract attention.

"Done, start clipping."

Li Kailang took out the newspaper and cut out the necessary words while looking at the manuscript.

Although the process is not difficult, it is quite tedious and requires looking at and cutting each one individually.

While Li Kailang was cutting, he didn't notice that some scraps of paper were falling out and floating in different places.

If you cut it outside and someone comes to investigate, it will be evidence and you will have no way to defend yourself.

"Click, click~" Li Kailang was busy until late at night and finally completed the task of cutting the words.

"Okay, okay, it's finally done." Li Kailang looked at the cut words in his hand and couldn't help but feel extremely happy.

But then he started to worry again: "However, this is just one. What if I lose it, or people don't believe it? I should prepare a few more copies, just in case.

So, Li Kailang plunged into a new round of busyness.

It was not until the early hours of the morning that he finally finished cutting out the three copies of the words, carefully stuffed them into envelopes, and wrote "To my dear comrade" on them.

After doing all this, he felt exhausted and lay down on the bed to sleep.

a new day.

After completing the task, Li Kailang began to think about what to do next.

Now that the words have been cut, the next step is to decide who to send them to.

The real challenge is how to attract the attention of the higher-ups.

Li Kailang thought to himself: "Why not find another enemy spy? This way it will be easier to give it to him and I won't get myself involved."

But where can we find the enemy spies?"

There are enemy spies. After all, they existed in later generations, so how could there not be any now? Besides, this year marks the tenth anniversary of its establishment.

But the difficulty lies in how to find the enemy spies.

"This is really worrying. Let's try it tonight and see if we can find it."

Finding enemy spies is one of the safe ways, but Li Kailang didn't dare to guarantee that he could find them, so he naturally had to find other ways.

Li Kailang thought about who around him were high-ranking officials who could attract the attention of those above him.

The first person that came to Li Kailang's mind was the big leader, but then he shook his head, because he didn't know where the big leader lived and he didn't dare to act rashly.

The key is the character of the big leader. Li Kailang has no clear understanding and can only exclude him temporarily.

The second one was my father’s comrade-in-arms, Zhu Zongguang, who came to visit during the Chinese New Year.

It was he who arranged for Li Kailang to work in the steel rolling mill, but Li Kailang did not know his position or address, so he did not dare to act recklessly.

"Who else is it?" Li Kailang lowered his head in thought.

The most convenient way is naturally to deliver it to Zhong Nanhai, where he will definitely be discovered, but that place is the most dangerous, and if you are not careful, Li Kailang will be implicated.

It can only be used as a last resort and not as the first step.

Li Kailang suddenly slapped his head and suddenly realized:

"Oh, right, there is another one, Mr. Hua's connection, Mr. Qiao. He lives in the military compound, so he must be able to get in touch with him."

"Even if he can't get in touch with the higher-ups, he can definitely get in touch with his superiors, and the report will be quick."

"The last thing is to take risks and deliver it."

Li Kailang can only think of these three solutions at the moment.

Among the three options: enemy spy, Zhong Nanshan, and Mr. Qiao, only Mr. Qiao is more reliable.

Relatively speaking, it is safer and not so easy to be discovered.

The higher-ups will definitely find him in the investigation, but they won’t directly identify him as the person.

"After handing the things over to Mr. Qiao, we will temporarily stop brewing and cut off contact just in case."

After all, everyone is scrambling for food now, so how could there be extra food for making wine? The suspension may last for a long time.

But compared to reporting, this little bit of wine is not important.

Thinking of this, Li Kailang made a decision.

"Today is Friday. Let's see if we can encounter enemy spies and check the level of protection provided by the military district. If we don't, we will go to the military district compound tomorrow and deliver the cut words."

After making the decision, Li Kailang felt much better.

It is relatively easy to cut the characters, but it is a problem not to arouse suspicion.

However, with the dark cloak and the planting space, Li Kailang was not worried about being discovered, but he was afraid of being searched.

Li Kailang has no intention of treating others as fools. No one is stupid. It is always right to think more deeply and act more carefully.

Now we just have to wait until tomorrow night to go to the military compound.
