Chapter 3176 A True Dragon Cannot Be Raised in Shallow Water

Yang Xiaotao carefully closed the office door, then took a deep breath and patted his head, "Sigh, I won't be able to rest now."

"I've really found myself a good job."

Just before leaving, Mr. Peng said directly that both engines would be put into trial production immediately.

He learned from Yang Xiaotao that the newly developed twin-engine fighter jet, after using turbofan engines, might not be able to penetrate defenses at high altitude and high speed like the Baiju, but it could greatly extend its loiter time.

At the same time, the new fighter jets will form a three-in-one air defense system with the Baiju and J-8 fighters, covering high, medium and low altitudes.

High-altitude breakthrough to breach defenses, mid-altitude surprise attack to tear open gaps, low-altitude...

In charge of cleaning the floor!

Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's description, President Peng was so excited that he almost slapped his thigh and stood up.

Wasn't the logistics department's previous request for him to study new fighter jets precisely for this purpose?

He just didn't expect that Yang Xiaotao would start researching on his own without saying a word.

The key issue is that the research by the Logistics Department and the Third Ministry of Machine Building has not been completed.

If they knew about this, they'd probably bury their faces in the ground, too ashamed to show their faces to anyone.

After figuring it out, President Peng mentally labeled Yang Xiaotao as 'scheming'.

Then the timeframe was set: the department would be established and production organized before the end of this year.

Yang Xiaotao could only accept it reluctantly, but he would have to spend the year busy.

"Mr. Yang, you don't seem very happy."

Secretary Guo appeared beside Yang Xiaotao at some point.

"Hey, never mind, I brought this on myself."

"I was supposed to be reporting on my work, but after I finished, I had even more work to do!"

"How can you be happy?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't stand on ceremony, sighed helplessly, and then, as if remembering something, said, "Secretary Guo, what a coincidence, I have something to trouble you with."

"Mr. Yang, please feel free to ask if you need anything. We don't need to worry about anything here."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "I was just talking to Mr. Chen and President Peng about the situation in Tibet. Mr. Chen has no problem with it, and President Peng also agreed."

"But I still need to let my superiors know. It should happen in the next day or two. You have to let me know as soon as you have any news."

Secretary Guo was naturally aware of the situation regarding Tibet and understood Elder Chen's meaning.

We are happy to see the help from the Ninth Department.

Secretary Guo immediately nodded in agreement, "I thought it was something serious. Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

"That's troublesome."

"No trouble at all, Mr. Yang, but I have some news about Tibet."

Secretary Guo suddenly lowered his voice and said, "What news?" Yang Xiaotao immediately leaned closer and asked, "What news?"

"I've heard that the people of India value Tibet highly and acquire a lot of wealth from there every year. We should be careful of the Indians now that we're involved."

Yang Xiaotao thought it was something important, but it turned out to be just this.

Even if Secretary Guo hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have forgotten those guys.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent people from the Northwest to help.

"Don't worry, with their skills, they wouldn't even have enough hands to fight them!"

Yang Xiaotao said dismissively, "Some people just can't figure out their place."

Of course, this also applies to some countries.

Secretary Guo, having been reminded, didn't say much more, but instead changed the subject, saying, "I heard they're researching satellites and rockets."

"Unfortunately, the rocket launched in October crashed to the ground just ten meters after it left the ground."

"It's said that they lost billions."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao perked up.

"Tell me, what kind of rocket is that?"

The two walked out together, but inside the house, Old Chen and President Peng no longer had the happy expressions they had shown earlier.

Instead, the two remained silent for a moment.

In fact, when Yang Xiaotao arrived, the two had already met in the office, mainly to discuss the situation in Persia.

Later, Yang Xiaotao came over and started talking about things in Tibet, which interrupted him.

Now the two have returned to their previous topic.

"This wedding was more like a political marriage."

"If successful, Mosidov's position will be more secure, and the development of the domestic economy will be guaranteed!"

"In the long run, the heir, Alphat, is also a close friend, and we have no reason to refuse!"

Mr. Peng broke the silence by speaking first, and Mr. Chen nodded gently.

If it weren't for the continued restraint domestically and the unpredictable and turbulent international environment, they would have already raised their banners and openly supported it.

Even so, it still played an important role in the economic development of Persia.

"We definitely have to go, but who will go? Who will we take with us? We need to think these things through carefully; we can't be careless!"

Old Chen spoke after a moment's thought, his face very serious.

Peng was also in a state of confusion after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the situation in Persia is currently turbulent!"

"The ravens and swallows of the alliance have already appeared in Persia."

"There are also cowboys from the United States in the desert."

"We even received news that Britain had sent their ace."

"And in India, our people said they could smell curry from far away!"

"These are all elite troops!"

"With our neighbors and some people just joining in the fun, it's quite a mixed bag."

"With so many people gathered together, who knows if they have anything to hide?"

Boss Peng spoke with a smile, but his tone revealed a chilling murderous intent.

Upon hearing this, Old Chen picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them, then said with a worried expression, "This is exactly what I was worried about!"

He put down the teapot and said solemnly, "Opportunities and risks go hand in hand; it's all about choosing the right path!"

"However, what I'm most worried about is that guy going!"

At this point, Old Chen took a deep breath and said, "You've seen this kid yourself; he's very important to us."

"Let's not do anything like knowingly walking into danger, just play it safe!"

Mr. Peng listened in silence.

After a moment, he gave a wry smile, "I've thought about this problem before!"

"I know this kid is very important to us!" "We understand that what the country needs most right now is stability and vigorous economic development..."

At this point, General Peng's expression suddenly turned serious. "I know that some of our comrades think that we can develop on our own by closing the door, but can we really develop by closing the door right now?"

"Can we develop with peace of mind without a stable external environment?"

"Doesn't the situation in Persia prove this point?"

Seeing that Mr. Peng said this, Mr. Chen had no choice but to accept it.

Everyone knows this guy has an incredibly strong backbone!

Moreover, what China has in abundance right now is this kind of tough nut to crack!

"Old Chen!"

“I know you’re worried about this kid, and you’re also aware of his abilities.”

"But we can't stop him from growing up just because we're worried!"

"A fine sword is forged through tempering and honing!"

"Both of us have crawled out of the mud and struggled through countless trials; every part of us has been tempered and refined."

"Keeping him at home does protect him, but it also stifles his wildness. Sooner or later, he'll become a house sparrow!"

Have you thought about his future?

Is it a good thing for him to have smooth sailing all the time?

What if we encounter setbacks?

Mr. Peng's voice was like a grand bell, leaving Mr. Chen at a loss for words and plunging him into self-doubt.

"Old Chen, willpower isn't something you're born with, nor is it something you can just say you can do. It's something you forge through repeated trials and tribulations!"

“Back then, I wanted to bring him to the army to gain some experience, but you all disagreed, so we missed the best opportunity!”

"Old Chen, you can't raise a true dragon in shallow water!"

"Take my advice and let him explore more. That's the only way to be responsible for him!"

After Mr. Peng finished speaking, Mr. Chen leaned back in his chair and remained silent.

Taking a deep breath, a hint of worry flashed in Old Chen's eyes. "Old Peng, I understand what you're saying!"

"But this guy is too important to us; so many projects are in his hands."

"Without him, the loss is too great, too great!"

Mr. Peng fell silent after hearing this, but then he laughed again, "That's precisely why we need to help him grow up as quickly as possible."

If I remember correctly, you're seventy years old this year (by the traditional Chinese age reckoning)!

After listening, Old Chen stretched his backside and understood what Boss Peng meant.

As I get older, it's time to make room for others!

"I'm a few years older than you, but I'm starting to feel the strain. I can't sleep at night; every time I close my eyes, those familiar images flash before my eyes..."

"Forget it, I'm not going to say anything more!"

Mr. Peng waved his hand, saying that if he really wanted to talk about the past, he could go on for three days and three nights.

“I know that setting up that high-tech industry research lab is just paving the way for him.”

"I know, that old Zeng is deliberately trying to squeeze people in. Does he think everyone else is stupid? He's done that kind of stupid thing before, hasn't he?"

After complaining to Zeng Lao about internal affairs, Peng turned to Chen Lao and said, "I know it's not just you, Zeng Lao, but a few others too!"

"Everyone has high hopes for him and intends to train him, hoping he can take over as soon as possible!"

"but…"

"Old Chen, let me ask you something. Do you think he's really ready?"

Mr. Peng's words silenced Mr. Chen.

Yes, we've been preparing everything, but has the other side been prepared?

Ability, mindset, willpower...

A series of requirements, targets, and... flashed through Old Chen's mind.

President Peng spoke again, "This time, the team consists of elites from various countries; it's a game of strategy!"

"It is precisely in this kind of environment that people are most tempered!"

"My opinion is that if he doesn't want to go, then we won't force him!"

"But if he himself wants to go, I think we should let him have it!"

After listening to the story, Old Chen couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea, saying, "You know these are all elites, so why send them?"

"Isn't this sending lambs to the slaughter?"

Upon hearing this, President Peng picked up his teacup, finished the Longjing tea, and suddenly laughed, "Sheep?"

"You think this kid is a sheep?"

"Old Chen, you really don't understand this kid!"

As he spoke, Mr. Peng took out a piece of paper that had been folded several times from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"It was given to me by Old Zeng, the guy in charge of internal affairs. Take a look!"

"Our little lamb isn't some pushover; he's a ruthless character who's all talk and no action!"

Old Chen opened the paper with suspicion and began to read it.

The document prominently displays Yang Xiaotao's experiences over the years, accompanied by targeted comments from internal staff.

Of course, many of the comments were deduced from the conclusions after the fact, but even so, they still shocked Mr. Chen.

We workers have power!

I've heard this often, but seeing the assessment in the report, does Yang Xiaotao really have that much power?

really!

Also, what does "as if divinely aided" mean?

However, upon closer reflection, aside from the initial assassination attempt and the encounter with bandits in the Northwest two years earlier, it seems that I haven't encountered any other danger.

This…

Old Chen looked at President Peng, "Is this true?"

Mr. Peng nodded. "Once or twice could be attributed to luck, but so many times, do you think luck can explain it all?"

"Our young comrade is not a sheep, but a dragon."

"A dragon crossing the river!"

"As for those so-called elite troops?"

A murderous glint flashed in Peng's eyes, which he quickly concealed before finally saying, "Don't forget, those three troublemakers are all in Persia."

"Those three?"

"Yes, those are the three!"

For a moment, they both fell silent and then smiled.
