"Master Lei, have you heard? Gong Bai has been appointed as the deputy chief engineer of our factory!"

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on the dormitory building of Baiyun Factory, Master Lei, an old fitter who has a habit of getting up early, is holding a water cup, drinking water from the faucet, and brushing his teeth carefully with a newly replaced toothbrush.

Wang Dehua, the deputy director of the Drawing Office of the Technical Department, who was behind him, was holding a washing utensil in his hand. He had nothing to do and chatted about things in the factory with Master Lei in front of him. Master Lei was using his good right hand to brush the brush.

Ya, Ze couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and subconsciously asked: "Gong Bai? Are you talking about that Gong Bai?"

"Could it be that Mr. Bai? Bai Yi, have you forgotten? When he first entered the factory, you were still thinking about the one who introduced your niece to him!"

Wang Dehua looked full of gossip, but Master Lei was speechless. At that time, in order to develop a Type 50 fully automatic rifle, Bai Yi used scrapped machine tools to make a functional assembly machine tool. Master Lei made up his mind at that time to turn his own

introduced to Bai Yi by his niece.

Unexpectedly, Lin Bo, the director of the factory, was faster than him, an old fitter, and sent his daughter directly. This made Master Lei, who had been doing fine work all his life, feel sad every time he thought about it.

However, Master Lei soon discovered the problem in Wang Dehua's words. He quickly rinsed his mouth a few times, turned away the faucet, and then asked in confusion: "Why is he a deputy chief engineer? It is not a problem to be a chief engineer according to Xiaobai's ability.

, not to mention that he is the hero of two first-class honors, how could he be a deputy?"

Not to mention that Master Lei couldn't figure it out, any cadre and employee of Baiyun Factory would be extremely surprised if they heard this result. Putting aside Bai Yi's super technical ability, since the Korean War, Bai Yi relied on the 50-style

The fully automatic rifle and the effective and rapid supply to the East China Corps before the Second Battle won him two first-class honors.

With these two brilliant resumes, let alone being a chief engineer, he is qualified to be the director of Baiyun Factory. Because of this, when the cadres and workers of Baiyun Factory learned that Bai Yi had ended his mission in North Korea,

After he was about to return to China, everyone thought he would achieve success in one fell swoop.

The sudden promotion of factory director Lin Bo some time ago confirmed everyone's speculation. However, just when everyone was looking forward to Baiyun Factory being about to welcome the youngest director since its establishment, the result was only a hint.

The deputy chief engineer who has no sense of presence, how can this shock everyone who hears it?

Master Lei didn't know how other people felt. Anyway, he was shocked. With a pair of eyes that could detect the subtle differences in the workpiece, he stared at Wang Dehua closely and repeated incredulously: "How could this... be a deputy?"

"I don't understand either, but last night I heard Secretary Song say with my own ears that our factory became a key factory aided by the Soviet Union because of its outstanding contribution in the Korean War, so in order to better complete the transformation and technology

Upgrading, the chief engineer will be a Soviet, and Bai Gong volunteers to be downgraded to deputy chief engineer."

There was a bit of regret on Wang Dehua's face, but more of it was indescribable joy. It was a kind of joy for a better future. Master Lei was the same. After all, compared to Bai Yi's personal rise and fall, they valued more.

It is the overall development of the factory.

Being listed as a key factory aided by the Soviet Union means that Baiyun Factory has been officially involved in the transformation furnace of Soviet industrialization. By then, not only the existing old equipment will have to be replaced, but also several other idle workshops.

If it is reused, it may even be possible to add a new production department and become a truly comprehensive military factory with world-class technology.

This is tantamount to a great opportunity that changes the world for everyone in Baiyun Factory.

In the face of this general trend, personal honor and disgrace really don't matter. The real way is to follow the beat of the times, realize the leap-forward development of the factory, and complete the goal of national industrialization.

However, when Master Lei thought about Bai Yi who voluntarily demoted, he couldn't help but sigh with joy: "It's a pity that such a good person like Xiao Bai suffered so much!"

…

Master Lei was not the only one to sigh like this. After learning the news, almost every cadre and worker of Baiyun Factory felt a little inexplicable pity for Bai Yi while being happy.

Repin was walking on the tree-lined path in the factory area, listening to the regrets expressed by the Baiyun Factory employees who passed by him, which was obviously incompatible with the joy on their faces, and his fair face became more and more serious.

So I walked even faster. As soon as I entered the factory office building, I didn't go to my technical consultant's office. Instead, I went straight to the office of Kwashinin, the general technical consultant and chief engineer of Baiyun Factory.

After knocking on the door and receiving permission, he opened the door and entered.

Seeing the gray-haired Kvashnin chewing a piece of dry bread and looking at the relevant technical information of Baiyun Factory, Repin threw his handbag on the desk angrily and sat down on the chair opposite, angrily.

He said in a whisper: "What does that Bai Yi want to do? Is he going to establish a technological dictatorship or form a clique?"

Kvashnin did not expect that Repin, a capable subordinate, would be so angry. He put down the information in his hand, stuffed dry bread into his mouth in three mouthfuls, and asked in a straight voice: "My dear Comrade Repin, what are you doing?

What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Repin picked up the thermos bottle on the side and poured a glass of water for Kvashnin and handed it over: "Comrade Kvashnin, you didn't hear the discussions in the factory. They were all complaints and complaints about Bai Yi's appointment as deputy chief engineer.

Dissatisfied, actively asking for downgrade one moment, and having so much sympathy the next moment, this is clearly a competition for technical leadership. There is an old saying in China called duplicity, and I think Bai Yi is a typical duplicity..."

The more Repin talked, the angrier he became, so that his fair face turned red. Kvashnin thought it was something important, but he heard that it was Baiyun Factory officials and workers who were dissatisfied with Bai Yi's appointment as deputy chief engineer.

After talking about it, he put down the water glass in his hand and smiled gently: "Is that all? Comrade Repin, I think you shouldn't make a fuss. Comrade Bai Yi has a very good mass base in Baiyun Factory. Regarding him,

, it’s normal for some people to discuss it.”

"But the problem is that Bai Yi is a very strong person. You can see from yesterday's technical symposium that his persistence in his opinions has reached an unquestionable level. In addition, he is in Baiyun

The factory's roots are very deep, so I'm worried that if he... it will be difficult for us to start our work, after all, there are too many similar things in China."

"this……"

After listening to Repin's words, Kvashnin's thick yellow brows couldn't help but frown a few times, but in the end he shook his head: "Bo Yi is indeed very strong, but I think his strength is more about technology.

Stubbornness, not a matter of style, and more importantly..."

As he spoke, Kvashnin raised his head, looked directly at Repin across from him with his blue eyes, and asked word for word: "This matter has been finalized by Comrade Stalin, do you still want to go against Stalin's will?"
