Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 228: Big Mushrooms Grow in the Northwest (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
February 14, 1961, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, which was New Year's Eve.

In the Zhao family's living room on Zhongguancun South Street in Beijing, tonight's New Year's Eve dinner is served on two large tables combined together, otherwise there would not be enough space for so many people.

Because Xiao Shitou has his own baby seat, he takes up quite a bit of space.

There were eleven people in total, seven adults and four children. It wasn't too many, but it wasn't too few either.

To be precise, there should be twelve people, because Han Meimei has a baby in her belly.

"It's so rich! This is the first time I've seen so many dishes. Even state-owned restaurants don't have so many."

Han Meimei is the 'newcomer' in the family. She married into the Lin family during last year's National Day.

So she had never seen how rich the food and dishes were in Zhao Mancang's home.

On the table in front of me, there are taro braised pork, braised prawns, steamed sea bass, braised beef with soy sauce, boiled chicken, stuffed three treasures, braised pig's trotters with sand ginger, four-happiness meatballs, etc., which can be said to be a great fusion of the north and the south.

"This is the first time for me to eat so many dishes. Thank you, brother-in-law." Lin Shuxian said with a smile.

In mid-July last year, she took the high school entrance exam for the second time and was finally admitted to high school.

When Zhao Mancang heard the news, she felt very complicated. After all, if she failed the college entrance examination in three years, it would be fine. But if she passed, she would only be able to study in college for two more years.

This is his sister-in-law, and he doesn't know whether he should help her.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later.

Just go with the flow. There's no need to punish yourself now for things that haven't happened in the future.

"Come on, everyone, have a drink first. I wish all of us good health in the new year."

As the head of the family, Zhao Mancang stood up and held up his glass, and everyone followed suit, raised their glasses, and clinked them with each other.

Little Peach and Little Baozi both wanted to clink glasses, but their arms were too short. Even Little Stone babbled and wanted to join in the fun.

So only the adults can clink glasses with the three little ones.

Except for Zhao Mancang, Lin Guohua and Lin Kai who were drinking, Zhang Dongyue, Lin Wan, Lin Shuxian and Han Meimei were all drinking Beibingyang soda, while little kids like Zhao Huijun either drank milk tea or milk powder.

Cheers!

After clinking glasses, Little Peach took a sip happily and imitated the adults, making a "hmm" sound with enjoyment on her face.

That's what little kids do, they imitate adults.

"Eat, eat, Mom and Dad, eat more of this meat, it's really delicious. Wan'er, don't try to lose weight, eat your fill first."

Zhao Mancang arranged for everyone to have dinner. Since it was a festival, there had to be a festive atmosphere.

The family had a happy meal together. Tonight's New Year's Eve dinner lasted for two hours.

Unexpectedly, half of the dishes were eaten up.

Because Lin Kai and Han Meimei are really big eaters, and Zhao Mancang himself is the same, they ate a lot of dishes and rice.

However, the little brat Zhao Huijun's fighting ability is not very good, probably because he drank too much milk tea.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, it was completely dark outside, and it was time to set off fireworks. Well, there were of course fireworks in this era, but there weren’t as many varieties.

Otherwise, you can actually see the fireworks show near Tiananmen Square.

The happy time passed quickly. After setting off fireworks, we either listened to the old people telling stories or took a shower and went to bed.

This is how the Spring Festival is these days. There are not many entertainment activities, let alone any Spring Festival Gala.

It was no longer customary to keep watch at Zhao Mancang's house. After all, in the past two years, Zhao Mancang either did not come back or hid away.

The so-called night watch is meaningless, and now I don’t care about the situation anymore.

The next day came in a flash, the first day of the new year.

What Zhao Mancang never expected was that Zhao Zhensheng came to Zhongguancun South Street again.

Seeing the other party coming, Zhao Mancang's face immediately darkened, and Zhao Zhensheng wanted to get angry for a moment, but for some reason, he endured it.

After putting down the gift, Zhao Zhensheng left.

Zhao Mancang was not polite to such a shameless person. He immediately picked up the gifts, turned around and drove to the outside of Fuxingmen, put the gifts with the guard, and asked the guard to help give the gifts to Zhao Mandong.

The latter is his sister. Although their relationship is not very good, it is much better than Zhao Mantang, who is like water and fire to him.

In fact, if Zhao Zhensheng had come back earlier, the family would not have become like this today.

It is not a glorious thing for brothers to fight with each other and for fathers and sons to have tense relationships. What's more, Zhao Zhensheng has married another wife and started a new family, which makes the relationship even more complicated.

Zhao Mancang didn't care about these things, nor did he want to care about them.

He is already very busy, and even if he is not busy, he would not want to bother with these things.

The Spring Festival holiday lasted three days in total and passed quickly.

After the holiday, Zhao Mancang prepared to leave the capital immediately. As for the second batch of assessments, he would wait until he came back to discuss it.

"Mancang, you don't have to be so anxious, right? Aren't Yang Chunjiang and the others pretty good? Wouldn't it be better to bring them along?"

When Wei Huayong heard this, he immediately spoke hurriedly.

"No, they are still new recruits. If I take them with me, I will have to take care of them. This is definitely not possible." Zhao Mancang shook his head and refused.

Wei Huayong was speechless when he heard people like Fan Xuexin described them as rookies, but Zhao Mancang was qualified to do so.

For a moment, Wei Huayong didn't know how to persuade him.

Zhao Mancang would not listen to the other party's dissuasion, because he went out this time just as an excuse and was not really going to work.

Early in the morning on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Mancang arrived at Nanyuan Airport, flew directly to Baiyun City in the south, and then arrived in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

After arriving in Hong Kong and Kowloon, Zhao Mancang changed into the disguise of "Zhao Changshou" and personally distributed red envelopes to all employees this year.

There are quite a lot of them, especially the red envelopes for the management, each person gets a big red envelope of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.

After gaining a wave of experience points, Zhao Mancang only stayed in Hong Kong and Kowloon for four days, and then flew directly to Australia.

After all, the Nolinasun Mining Company in Australia was a new company that was acquired and established a few months ago, and the employees have not yet returned to their jobs, so as the boss, he must come and show his presence.

Otherwise, the employees below won’t know who the boss is.

From October last year to mid-to-late February now, about four months have passed, which is not a short time.

Ordinary miners like Song Yajun are already skilled workers. They work step by step every day. Having one day off a week is a very wonderful thing for them.

The key is the high salary. A monthly salary of HK$2,500 is enough for these miners to work hard here without regrets.

In fact, there is overtime, but there are limits. Overtime cannot exceed twenty hours per week, which means that the weekly working hours cannot exceed sixty-eight hours.

Even so, most miners, including the three brothers Song Yajun, work overtime to the maximum limit, with a weekly working time of 68 hours.

After learning about these situations, Zhao Mancang nodded with relief.

These Chinese came from the mainland, Hong Kong, Kowloon and other places, and they are considered his own people. Moreover, they are employees of his company, so he should take better care of them.

These people are also very grateful. In this case, Zhao Mancang will certainly not be stingy with his money.

"We need to ensure they have enough food to eat. They are all hard workers, and we must ensure they have enough energy and physical strength to work. This is a red line that cannot be crossed."

"And the most important thing is to ensure the safety of all of them. If anything unexpected happens, I don't care what method you use, you must ensure their safety."

After sternly admonishing the management of Nolinasun Company several times, Zhao Mancang inspected the company again to make sure that they were not hypocritical, and then nodded with relief.

After staying in Australia for a week, Zhao Mancang set off again and flew directly to North America.

There are also a lot of things happening in North America, including Aucma, Women's Wear Magazine, Mario Airlines, Wanjia Supermarket, etc. These are all companies that Zhao Mancang needs to pay attention to.

Especially Mario Aviation, the scientific research projects that this company is carrying out can be said to be another guarantee for Zhao Mancang.

In addition, you also need to meet Zhuang Xiaoting and gain some experience points.

If there are no major problems with the subsequent expansion of the Jiaolong Army, then Zhao Mancang will most likely meet less frequently with Zhuang Xiaoting in the future.

I can't delay the other person any longer, lest she really insists on marrying him.

After spending a week in North America, Zhao Mancang was ready to return to Beijing.

At the Tianjin Wharf, Li Qizhen, Wu Shengli, Jia Dingwen and others watched Zhao Mancang driving the fishing boat back again, their faces full of disbelief.

It’s amazing! The Lantern Festival has just passed and Zhao Mancang has returned from outside?
Wei Huayong, Gu Haidong and others who heard the news were also standing at the dock waiting. When they saw Zhao Mancang appear on the deck of the fishing boat, they were shocked.

"Mancang, did you really bring it back? How long has it been?"

Wei Huayong was extremely surprised, and his expression of disbelief was enough to show how shocked he was at the moment.

Zhao Mancang nodded at him, hummed, then looked at Gu Haidong and said:
"Director Gu, there are twelve precision instruments on the fishing boat. When you ask them to move them, they must be extremely careful. If they make a mistake, the researchers at the institute will definitely scold you."

"Oh, by the way, when I was out on this mission, I also took a look at their safe. I unexpectedly stole a lot of gold and US dollars, as well as a bunch of technical information. I'll have Luo Jiaying, Yuan Yumin, Zhang Kejian and the others check it out when the time comes."

Luo Jiaying and his colleagues are researchers at the Longxing Research Institute, and can be said to be the treasures of the current Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization.

Although the Jiaolong Army is the core of the entire comprehensive organization, in fact, the Longxing Research Institute is the real guarantee.

The entire comprehensive organization is composed of three pillars, none of which can be missing.

"it is good!"

Gu Haidong nodded seriously. Even though he had thousands of words in his heart, he couldn't say them at this moment.

Because any language seems pale and powerless at this moment, Zhao Mancang is indeed too strong.

"Mancang, how much gold and US dollar cash are there?" Wei Huayong asked curiously. He didn't think much about it at first. After all, it was a safe. How much could there be?

He was soon shocked.

"Not much. I didn't look closely. It seems to be over 1,500 gold bars and around 10 million US dollars in cash. I guess they want to use the money to buy something."

Zhao Mancang said this lightly. Wei Huayong, Gu Haidong and others opened their mouths, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a while, Wei Huayong and the others checked it out, and then everyone fell into a daze.

why?
Because these gold bars are very large, each bar is a very standard 400 kilograms, or ounces.

A total of 1,532 gold bars, or 612,800 ounces, are worth 23.28 million US dollars.

What did Zhao Mancang say just now? Not much?
Do you think more than 30 million US dollars is not a lot?

But on second thought, Zhao Mancang brought back 20 million ounces of gold last year, worth 760 million US dollars. It seems that 20 or 30 million US dollars is really not a lot.

The leading soldiers near the entire Tianjin wharf became nervous when they learned that there was gold and US dollar cash worth more than 30 million US dollars on the fishing boat.

If anything goes wrong, they will be the ones to take the blame.

After all, there are no big leaders coming here today, so we have to be careful.

Fortunately, there were no accidents in the process. Both the gold and US dollars and those very important machinery and equipment were loaded smoothly and then left the Tianjin Port.

In Lingjing Hutong, the news had already been passed back. After the leaders of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street and others heard the news, they couldn't help but be surprised.

This amount of gold and US dollars is indeed a lot. Zhao Mancang was able to bring back so many supplies single-handedly. Isn’t his personal ability too strong?

"Before the Spring Festival, we conducted a Jiaolong Army assessment. Comrade Xiao Zhao's performance far surpassed those of the other soldiers who took the assessment. His abilities in all aspects are indeed very strong, far exceeding those of the average vanguard."

When talking about Zhao Mancang's ability, a leader suddenly said with a smile.

The other leaders nodded when they heard this. This was beyond doubt, but everyone was a little interested in how Zhao Mancang brought back these materials and funds.

It’s not that the leaders had any doubts, but they were too curious.

It is unlikely that a normal person would achieve the same achievements as Zhao Mancang, nor would it be possible for him to have such luck, but he did it. Although it seems unbelievable, the facts are in front of us and we have to believe it.

Beijing, Guozi Lane.

Almost the entire alley is now the headquarters of the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization. Other units that were previously here have moved out one after another, and some are still in the process of moving.

Longxing Research Institute, Luo Jiaying and others looked at the parked car and couldn't help but feel excited.

"Handle them carefully. These machines are very valuable and it's hard to repair them if they break."

After Yuan Yumin, Zhang Kejian, Luo Jiaying and others were busy moving the equipment into the office, Zhao Mancang and others happened to come in from outside.

The research institute has its own independent courtyard, which is not the same as the Jiaolong Army’s courtyard.

Seeing leaders like Zhao Mancang coming in, the five people including Luo Jiaying were very happy, but Zhao Mancang was a little unhappy.

Because it’s after the Spring Festival, why are there only five researchers?

"Fellow researchers, I've brought back the equipment and technical information you need. Now I'm counting on you. You are the key to whether our Longxing Research Institute can successfully develop and produce bulletproof vests."

"So, with only five of you researchers, this definitely won't work."

Zhao Mancang directly raised this issue in front of everyone, which immediately made Gu Haidong and others embarrassed and ashamed.

The former does what he says and does it without any compromise, but Gu Haidong and others cannot guarantee that things will go smoothly.

Fortunately, Zhao Mancang did not continue to dwell on the matter. He encouraged everyone a few more words before leaving.

In the office on the other side, Zhao Mancang just sat down and couldn't wait to ask Gu Haidong about the researcher.

"Director Gu, you've already seen that the equipment and technical information have been brought back, but we only have five researchers. This is definitely not enough. I'll have to trouble you to coordinate with other units. We'll give you the money and equipment, but you must give us the researchers."

The Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization was established not long ago, so the start was indeed a bit difficult, but there is no shortage of materials, equipment and funds.

If Zhao Mancang continues to make money at this rate, not to mention the 50 million RMB in funding a year, I'm afraid other departments will be willing to send people to the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization.

Gu Haidong patted his chest and agreed to this matter, saying that he would bring the person back even if he had to lose face.

Zhao Mancang nodded when he heard this, then looked at Wei Huayong and said seriously:

"Old Wei, we'll start the second round of selections for the Jiaolong Army the day after tomorrow. The ten candidates who were previously selected must also participate. Will the mission be more difficult than last time, and will the competition items be disrupted again?"

The latter nodded solemnly from time to time, and did not raise any questions or express any dissatisfaction with the request made by Zhao Mancang.

After the establishment of the Jiaolong Army, it will definitely need to undergo a large-scale training. Then in the future, it will have to go to the battlefield, face complex and changing situations, and respond at any time. This is not an easy task.

Therefore, for all members of the Jiaolong Army, the requirements for personal physical fitness and other aspects are very, very high. So it is not surprising that the selection requirements are higher. Half an hour later, Zhao Mancang drove the jeep away from Guozi Lane.

It is now March 8th. The Waking of Insects has just passed and the Dragon Raising its Head has not yet arrived, but the breath of spring is approaching.

The capital city will definitely be different after all things revive.

However, Zhao Mancang was still very clear that this year would definitely be a disaster year and the drought would definitely continue.

On Zhongguancun South Street, at the gate of Zhaojiayuan, when Zhao Mancang's car stopped, the two guards standing at the gate immediately saluted.

"Thank you for your hard work, you two!"

After getting out of the car, Zhao Mancang smiled kindly at the two of them. He couldn't violate the regulations on his own initiative, nor could he let others violate the regulations on their own initiative. He could only express his gratitude in other ways.

The army has its own rules. This is not just Zhao Mancang’s problem, so just get used to it.

In the yard, the two sisters Xiao Taozi and Xiao Baozi were dressed plumply and playing in the corridor, but their little hands were a little dirty, obviously because they got their hands dirty from playing with mud and sand.

When he saw his own child, Zhao Mancang immediately smiled.

Zhang Dongyue and the others were very happy when he came back.

Although Zhao Mancang often went on business trips and his family didn't know what he was doing outside, the two guards standing at the door were very telling.

Besides, other people’s families can’t even get enough food, but Zhao Mancang’s family has two big dogs. The difference is obvious.

Zhao Mancang gave himself two days off and stayed at home to spend time with his children. He didn't go anywhere and didn't even gain any experience points.

So these two days, Zhao Huijun was very happy, because every day when she came home from school, there was delicious food, including a lot of fruits, and she ate until she was full every day.

Lin Wan was also very happy, but she would touch her belly from time to time, because her belly had been empty for a while and she had not gotten pregnant again.

It has been more than half a year since she gave birth to little Shitou on June 8 last year. She and Zhao Mancang have had sex during this period, but she just couldn't get pregnant.

Getting pregnant is a matter of luck. Sometimes it works the first time, and sometimes it doesn't happen for a year or two. It's hard to say.

Zhao Mancang didn't have any thoughts about this. If she got pregnant again, that would be a good thing. If she didn't, that would be his happy life.

Two days later, Zhao Mancang returned to Guozi Lane. As soon as he arrived at the office, Wei Huayong and Gu Haidong looked very strange.

After asking, I found out that the two of them were in such a complicated mood because of the words of the five people from Luo Jiaying.

"So, Mancang, did you blow up their research institute? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to bring back so many complete and advanced devices."

"Luo Jiaying even asked his teacher to come and check it out, because it's very likely that even his teacher has never seen such a device."

After hearing what Gu Haidong and the others said, Zhao Mancang just smiled and had no intention of explaining.

There is no need to ask whether the research institute was blown up. It absolutely did not happen. Isn't fair trade good?
After all, with Zhao Mancang's disguise at Sam's, Mario Airlines has a quite high status, so isn't it normal to purchase some technical equipment from other institutions?

If you want to develop the most advanced bulletproof vests, you must break through the limitations of materials. In other words, you must develop materials such as bulletproof nylon, aramid fiber, bulletproof ceramics, and metal-ceramic composites before you can make bulletproof vests.

According to the material rule of "combination of soft and hard" of modern bulletproof vests, different materials are combined and produced. After testing, bulletproof vests that can defend against bullets of different calibers can be obtained.

It sounds simple, but in fact, just making a material like aramid fiber is extremely difficult and not easy to obtain.

Seeing that Zhao Mancang had no intention of explaining, Gu Haidong and Wei Huayong looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

It seems that this matter is not that simple.

Just as Zhao Mancang and Wei Huayong were about to set off for the outskirts of Beijing together, a scream erupted in the compound next door. The noise was not loud, but it caught the attention of Zhao Mancang and the others.

When they arrived at the yard of Longxing Research Institute, they saw that there were many more white-haired old men here.

"Teacher, that's our Director Zhao." Luo Jiaying looked up and saw Zhao Mancang, and suddenly became very excited and introduced him to the old man next to him.

The old man, wearing glasses, asked Zhao Mancang curiously:

"Director Zhao, where did you bring these devices from? How could such advanced equipment be here? These devices are probably among the most advanced in the world today. Logically, they should only be available at Sam's place."

Among these devices, let’s take the heavy-duty slicer for example. How could this thing appear in Beijing?
There are also mold temperature controllers, precipitation and dispersion machines, etc. These devices are also very complicated for Wei Changyuan. It takes some time for him to read the instructions clearly, and then he can complete the research and development of related materials in a targeted manner.

"Old professor, what do you think of these devices?"

“Good, good, very good”

"In that case, I ask you to make good use of these devices and develop the bulletproof vests needed by our Jiaolong Army, because these bulletproof vests are vital to our soldiers."

"Director Zhao, even if you didn't tell us, we would definitely complete the mission, but these equipment..."

"Old professor, how did these devices come from and why are they here? I think this is not your concern. You just need to help us complete these scientific research tasks, and leave the battlefield matters to us."

Zhao Mancang can only use these methods to deal with these old professors.

Anyway, it is impossible to tell them how these devices were obtained, so even if it is a made-up lie, try not to tell them.

However, what Zhao Mancang did not expect was that Wei Changyuan actually took the initiative to make a request, that is, whether he could allocate a piece of equipment so that they could develop the equipment itself. They wanted to replicate and produce such equipment.

The reason is very simple. Heavy-duty slicers, mold temperature controllers, precipitation and dispersion machines, etc. can also play a significant role for other factories.

Want to pick peaches?
Zhao Mancang raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly unfriendly tone:

"Old Professor, this won't do. These are the property of our Jiaolong Comprehensive Institute. Even if we need to replicate these devices, it should be done by our Longxing Research Institute."

"No, no, no, Director Zhao, you misunderstood. I am..."

"Unless you, Professor, are willing to join our Longxing Research Institute, otherwise, let's not mention this matter anymore."

All the equipment was brought back by Zhao Mancang from abroad. It was impossible to pick peaches.

Who doesn't know that these devices can be disassembled and copied?
However, Zhao Mancang still has the production technology for these devices, and even has the production lines for these devices. However, it is much more difficult to transport back an entire production line because it involves more equipment, including large machine tools.

Machine tools are known as the "mother machines of industry". They are machines that make machines and are the foundation of the manufacturing industry. They play a very important role in the modern industrial economy.

Almost all core components of high-end manufacturing industries cannot be separated from the support of machine tools.

The pressure instantly fell on Wei Changyuan, but he laughed, "Director Zhao, as long as I join your Longxing Research Institute, can I dismantle this equipment?"

Wei Changyuan pointed to the heavy slicer next to him and asked with a smile.

Zhao Mancang nodded and said:

"That's right, old professor. If you're truly willing to join our Longxing Research Institute, Director Gu can help you with the archives and other matters. You can dismantle this equipment however you wish. How about that?"

"Okay, then it's a deal!"

If Wei Changyuan didn't understand how such advanced equipment works, he would definitely not be able to sleep.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Zhao Mancang was also very happy, and even did not forget to say to Wei Changyuan:

"Old professor, I see you're getting old, and I'm afraid dismantling this machine won't be easy. I suggest that if you have any students, you can call them over. As long as they join our Longxing Research Institute, you can dismantle this equipment no matter how you choose."

Wei Huayong and Gu Haidong were already numb. They had just used coughing to remind Zhao Mancang, but the latter remained unmoved.

This modern equipment that we just brought back is about to be destroyed. What should we do?

"Okay, since Director Zhao supports me so much, I will definitely do my best." Wei Changyuan smiled and nodded, and the matter was settled.

When Zhao Mancang and the other two left the compound, cheers were heard behind them.

But at this moment, Wei Huayong said unwillingly:
"Mancang, do you know how expensive those machines are? Researchers Luo and Zhang said that even if we spent a lot of money, we couldn't buy that cutting machine. It's not us who spent the money, but those foreigners who couldn't buy it."

"It's said that this type of equipment is the most advanced abroad. Even Professor Wei Changyuan has never seen it, and neither have the other professors."

"Such valuable equipment is being dismantled without any hesitation. Isn't this a joke?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Haidong also echoed and agreed, but Zhao Mancang just smiled and asked in return:
“Who are the people who dismantled those devices?”

Do you still need to ask?

It must be people like Wei Changyuan!
Zhao Mancang clapped his hands and said:

"Yes, since it's Professor Wei and his team who are dismantling the equipment, do you think they won't protect it properly? Will they dismantle it violently like us, the rudest people?"

You don’t need to ask to know that it definitely won’t happen.

But Wei Huayong and Gu Haidong still felt very sad. Why should such a good device be dismantled?
"They just want to copy that device. Only by dismantling it and examining the components inside can they replicate it in the future."

"Director Zhao, have you ever thought about what to do if, after they dismantle it, they not only fail to replicate the technology used to produce the equipment, but are also unable to reassemble it?"

Gu Haidong raised a hypothetical question, and Zhao Mancang smiled even more happily when he heard it:

"Then Director Gu, have you ever thought about this question? What if we can get the production equipment and production technology of this machine?"

After saying that, before Gu Haidong and the others could react, he had already gotten into his car, then urged Lao Wei to get in, and then stepped on the accelerator and left Guozi Lane.

hiss!
too crazy!

Looking at the backs of Zhao Mancang and the others as they left, Gu Haidong couldn't help but take a breath.

After a while, Gu Haidong finally realized: Who is the leader?
It seemed that from the very beginning, he had found his position. He was only a leader in name only, and in reality he was just a "mouthpiece" to cooperate with Zhao Mancang's work.

why?
Because what Zhao Mancang needed was Gu Haidong's help in coordinating the relationship between the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization and other units, such as transferring more researchers from other scientific research institutions, and the equipment produced by the Tenglong factory in the future must be sold.

At this point it depends on how awesome the equipment is, but from the current perspective, they are definitely awesome.

After all, whether it is bulletproof vests or heavy slicers, these things are very tempting to other units.

At the base in the suburbs of Beijing, the second round of assessment of the Jiaolong Army officially began.

Yang Chunjiang, Fan Xuexin, Lu Yaowei and other ten people who had passed the assessment participated in the assessment again, but they were just "training".

The other ten candidates will take the assessment again. Whether they can be selected depends on the results of this assessment.

In addition, thirty people from different units participated in this assessment.

Everyone knows that Zhao Mancang has very high requirements.

What they didn't know was that the Jiaolong Army would be treated very well and would be able to go abroad on missions.

Although going abroad to carry out missions is not a good thing, because it means no support, and in a foreign country, there may be language barriers.

But the situation of the Jiaolong Army will be very different. They will be equipped with more equipment in the future, and these equipment are definitely things that these soldiers will never see in other troops.

In the following mid-March, mid-to-late March and late March, a period of nearly twenty days, Zhao Mancang completed three rounds of assessments and finally filled the personnel needed by the Jiaolong Army.

After it was over, Zhao Mancang directly recruited fifty people at once, which meant there were more people.

Because Zhao Mancang had already made it clear that the 108 departments needed to be expanded into three teams, with twelve people in each team, and five to seven people of logistics support personnel were also needed.

Not mentioning the logistical support personnel, the total number of people in the three teams is only thirty-six.

Zhao Mancang recruited fifty people, and that’s not counting the twelve hundred and eight old men including Zuo Changsheng.

There are sixty-two people in total, which is too many.

Of course, it is not actually that many, because in the next period of time, there will be half a year of training and half a year of task screening.

In other words, Zhao Mancang will give these fifty people one year to completely follow the law of the jungle, where the fittest survive and the strong prey on the weak.

Moreover, Zhao Mancang did not mention the matter of logistics support personnel to these people.

In a blink of an eye, it was April 2nd, the second day after Yang Chunjiang and the other fifty new recruits joined the Jiaolong Army. It was also their first day of training with Zhao Mancang, Yuan Zuliang and others.

Yuan Zuliang, Qiu Shigui, Zuo Changsheng and others returned in mid-March. Their vacation ended on the 2nd and they returned to training.

For old people like Yuan Zuliang, there are also challenges.

Of course, unlike "new recruits" like Fan Xuexin, Yuan Zuliang and his team are experienced and will definitely have an advantage in the selection of actual combat tasks.

In other words, they are more likely to stay.

But all of this is still unknown, and everything will depend on the actual situation in the future.

"Today is the first day of our training camp. I hope everyone can stay focused and not play around like they did during the previous assessment."

Standing in front of the team, the first words Zhao Mancang said immediately made the "new recruits" like Lu Yaowei soar in anger.

Zuo Changsheng, Qiu Shigui and others were very puzzled. How could the assessment become a game of playing house?
"In half an hour we'll begin our first training task, a cross-country run with a 35kg weight. The passing time during the assessment was 40 minutes, but now it's 36 minutes. Everyone, be mentally prepared!"

hiss!
As soon as Zhao Mancang finished speaking, Fan Xuexin and the others took a deep breath, and even Qiu Shigui and the others' eyes widened instantly.

Wow, Lao Zhao is trying to establish his authority.

We will soon know whether it is to establish authority.

In the suburbs, as soon as they arrived at the destination, Zhao Mancang got off the car and gathered together. Wei Huayong and others drove the car, and Zhao Mancang trained together with Zuo Changsheng and others.

Well, seeing that Zhao Mancang did not give in at all and joined the training, Yang Chunjiang and the others had nothing to say.

Because Zhao Mancang is really cruel, cruel to others and even crueler to himself.

Unfortunately, "new recruits" like Fan Xuexin had no idea how abnormal Zhao Mancang's body was, and although he seemed to be training, he was actually just gaining experience points.

Why did he recruit fifty 'new recruits'?
Talk about screening, and saying that the Jiaolong soldiers are stupid and have a lot of money, those are just excuses given to these people. The real reason is naturally because Zhao Mancang needs experience points.

Most of the alternative 'new recruits' can only provide about 89 experience points each time, but even so, Zhao Mancang does not want to give up.

Candidates like Fan Xuexin who have already been selected have higher experience points. A small number can reach 199, but most can reach above 139.

Therefore, by this calculation, the experience points gained in one day are at least seven thousand.

Sometimes it can reach around 8000, and sometimes it can reach 6000. In this way, Zhao Mancang earns at least 7000 experience points every day.

It won’t take long, just half a month, for him to accumulate 100,000 experience points.

This is absolutely terrifying.

If Zhao Mancang accumulates enough experience points, he will be able to unlock many products in the system mall, and he won't have to worry about not having enough experience points to redeem them.

For example, there are many technologies that can be directly exchanged.

Just when Zhao Mancang was busy training, a big mushroom suddenly grew in the northwest.

PS: I will add one more chapter. This book [The Widower’s Fiery Years] needs the support of follow-up reading and monthly ticket data. I hope you can help me. Thank you!
