Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 172 Li Weidong Returns

Li Weidong at the Tianjin Shipyard arranged the work at hand, said something to Zhou Xiaolin and other women, and immediately rushed to the city of Sijiu at lightning speed.

Li Xin thought for a long time on the way, but he couldn't imagine who was so brave as to invade the research institute. You know, the research institute has a brigade of troops stationed there, and there is no force in the country that can compete with it, unless it is also a force, but it is impossible. You know, this is a flower-growing country, and such a thing will never happen.

When I couldn’t figure it out, I simply stopped thinking about it. When I got to the research institute, I knew everything.

After more than three hours of long-distance driving, Li Weidong almost scrapped the car. He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom all the way and drove according to the car's limit. However, the roads now are different from those in his previous life, so driving like this will cause great damage to the car, but Li Weidong can't care so much.

When we arrived at Qinjia Village, we saw many soldiers stationed at the entrance of the institute, so we drove over.

Li Weidong's car attracted the attention of the soldiers, and they stopped Li Weidong's car the moment he approached.

Li Weidong got out of the car and handed his ID to the soldier.

"Hello, comrade, this is my ID. I'm the director of the 011 Institute. I need to go in and check the situation."

The soldier saluted, took the ID and examined it. Finding it was indeed a genuine ID, he saluted Li Weidong and said:
"Hello, Chief. I need to report to my superiors. Please wait a moment."

Li Weidong did not make things difficult for the soldier. He nodded and agreed.

The soldiers rushed inside to inform their superiors, while Li Weidong stood still, waiting quietly.

About ten minutes later, a group of people came out from the road leading to the research institute, led by Squad Leader Wang.

"Old Wang, here."

Li Weidong saw Squad Leader Wang coming out and hurriedly shouted to him.

"Weidong, you're back so soon?"

Squad leader Wang walked quickly to Li Weidong and said to him.

"Such a big thing happened at the institute. How could I not come back quickly? What exactly is going on? Who is so bold?"

Li Weidong was a little curious and asked Squad Leader Wang.

"Hey! Don't mention it, let's go inside and talk!"

Squad Leader Wang took Li Weidong and walked inside. This time the soldiers did not stop them. They all knew that Squad Leader Wang was the guard battalion commander responsible for guarding the 011 Institute.

On the way to the research institute, Li Weidong saw the first sentry post under repair. He opened his eyes wide and said to Squad Leader Wang:
"Did they attack us? Are there any casualties among our staff at the institute?"

"No, it was hit by a car. Those people said the car lost control. Are they kidding? The car lost control right after we refused them entry and ran straight into the car. I guess that was their way of thinking of getting in. I don't know who was so smart to come up with that idea." Squad Leader Wang replied.

"Old Wang, please tell me the details quickly. I've been thinking about it all the way on the road, but I still can't figure out who dares to break into our research institute. I'm very curious, what are these people doing?" Li Weidong asked Squad Leader Wang.

"They say they are from the GWH and Security Department of the Red Star Steel Mill, led by a man named Liu Haizhong. They came this time on the orders of Director Li to arrest Lou Xiao'e.

"They didn't have orders from the Ministry of Industry or the Military, and after being denied entry by the checkpoint, they lost control of the car and rushed in, only to be stopped at the second checkpoint. That's basically what happened. They're currently being interrogated at the garrison, and we should have a result soon," Squad Leader Wang answered Li Weidong truthfully.

Li Weidong...

Is this directed at Lou Xiao'e, or at me? Director Li of the steel mill must be Li Huaide, Deputy Director Li. Doesn't he know the importance of the 011 Institute? He shouldn't know. Even if he doesn't know, his father-in-law knows. How could he dare do this? Deputy Director Li is no simple character in the play. He wouldn't be so unwise. So who is behind this?
Li Xin thought about it carefully and finally decided on one person, Qin Huairu! Only this woman could trick Liu Haizhong into doing such a thing. After all, she knew clearly how obsessed Liu Haizhong was with becoming an official.

In addition, Qin Huairu and Li Huaide have a relationship, so they can speak well of Liu Haizhong and help him become a small leader.

Qin Huairu probably wanted to take revenge on him, while Liu Haizhong wanted to do something to let Li Huaide see his talents and give him a small official position. The two hit it off immediately. However, Li Xin couldn't guess how Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong bypassed Li Huaide and brought people from the security department and GWH here.

After thinking for a while, Li Xin felt that if this was true, then Li Huaide had been badly tricked by these two people.

Li Xin and Squad Leader Wang did not return to the 011 Institute, but went directly to the guard brigade stationed next to the institute.

After greeting the commander of the Guard Brigade and others, they waited in the conference room for the interrogation results of the military investigation team. There was nothing to do, so they started chatting.

"Director Li, what project are you busy with recently?" asked Chief Wang who came to support.

"It's not a new project. Recently, in Tianjin, they've built a new warship for our navy. They've mainly used the new technology we developed some time ago to design a new type of warship to enhance our navy's strength."

Li Weidong said casually that for Commander Wang's level, this did not need to be kept secret.

"Oh, could you please tell me more about it?" asked Commander Wang.

"It's a new type of battleship, equipped with electromagnetic railguns, small nuclear fusion reactors, new fire control radars, and other new technologies."

"If we also equip it with an electromagnetic railgun, this warship will be invincible. With a range of one thousand kilometers, the enemy will be sunk before they even see it.

Li, you can't be partial. If you give the navy such powerful warships, you have to make some arrangements for our army, otherwise we will be far behind, don't you think?"

Commander Wang said with a smile.

Li Weidong...

"Commander Wang, I really don't have much time right now. Once this battleship is completed, I will consider other projects. I will definitely give priority to arranging them for our army."

Li Weidong said with a helpless smile.

"Okay, then, Director Li, let's make it a deal."

Commander Wang continued to speak with a smile, then rolled his eyes and asked Li Weidong:

"Captain Li, do you think it's possible to install electromagnetic railguns on tanks? Our army really needs this powerful new type of cannon."
