The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 870 Everyone’s Ambition
Then Liu Tao asked Chen Weijiang again.

Chen Weijiang, 22 years old this year, is tall and strong. He is now a junior student at Southwest Associated University. Perhaps because of the influence of the synthetic battalion, Chen Weijiang chose the major of National Defense Student of Southwest Associated University, studying automated measurement and control and instruments, and computer science and technology.

"Uncle, I want to join the tank unit and drive a Type 80 main battle tank!" Chen Weijiang's eyes were filled with anticipation.

When Chen Weijiang saw a tank for the first time, he was attracted by its majestic figure and momentum. After Liu Tao developed the Type 80 main battle tank, Chen Weijiang wanted to drive a Type 80 main battle tank one day.

So he chose to study as a national defense student at Southwest Associated University. He initially chose automated measurement and control technology and instruments, and then he chose to study computer science and technology.

He never thought about starting a business like Liu Ziyu. What he yearned for was a military career and to be a soldier.

Liu Tao nodded and said, "We'll talk about it when you're assigned next year. But when you get to the army, you must work hard and always remember that you are a soldier. You must not bring discredit to the military."

Southwest Associated University, Tsinghua University and other universities all have national defense student majors. This is based on the needs of the military cadre team building. They recruit and train young students for the military from among the high school graduates of ordinary high schools who have participated in the national college entrance examination.

People like Chen Weijiang will join the army and then, when they reach a certain level, will go to military academies for further training.

The places suitable for Chen Weijiang to go are nothing more than the Malong Military Training Base, Zhurihe Military Training Base and Qilianshan Military Training Base.

Although you will suffer hardships in these places, they can also train you better and allow you to learn useful knowledge and skills.

Since you have chosen to be a soldier, it will be comfortable and nothing will matter.

Liu Tao looked at Chen Weihong.

Since Chen Weihong came to Beijing University of Technology, he would come to the courtyard every now and then.

Chen Weihong's major is information and communication engineering.

"Uncle, I want to study for my master's degree with you!" said Chen Weihong.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "It's not easy to be my student. You have to work hard. With me, you can't just study for a master's degree, but a master's and doctoral degree."

Liu Tao hasn't recruited any students for several years.

If his niece was really trainable, Liu Tao would naturally not refuse.

"My academic performance is very good, there will be no problem!" said Chen Weihong.

Chen Weihong already had an understanding of how powerful her uncle was.

Many of the textbooks they study were written or co-written by Liu Tao.

Liu Tao's name would be mentioned unexpectedly, and it would be mentioned every now and then. It was simply a hurdle that they could not avoid in their studies.

A sculpture erected by Capital Institute of Technology is of Liu Tao.

As for the sculpture of a man concentrating on casting a sword, the stone sculpture of a man concentrating on casting a sword is Liu Tao as described in the introduction.

Others may admire Liu Ziyu, but Chen Weihong admires Liu Tao the most.

"Weihua, what about you?" Liu Tao looked at Chen Weihua: "Next year is the college entrance examination, do you have any university you want to go to?"

Chen Weihua said: "Uncle, I want to go to military school and apply to the National Defense University."

"Kid, you can go to a military school like your brother, such as Southwest Associated University. Why do you have to go to the National Defense University?" Liu Honglei couldn't help but say.

She still hopes that her children can study nearby so that they don’t have to live in the school dormitory and can go home every day.

Liu Tao said: "Second sister, they are all grown up and have their own independent thoughts. We must learn to respect them. Since Wei Hua wants to study at the National Defense University, let him go."

The National Defense University, unlike Southwest Associated University, is the country's highest-level military academy.

Liu Honglei opened her mouth, sighed, and said nothing more.

Liu Tao knew that Chen Weijiang wanted to study at the National Defense University, but because of the influence of Liu Honglei, he finally chose to be a national defense student at Southwest Associated University, but later regretted it.

The two seem the same, but they are actually very different.

At this time, the Spring Festival Gala has already begun.

There are two hosts of the Spring Festival Gala, one is Ni Ping and the other is Cheng Qian.

Ni Ping is a familiar face. She has been the host of the Spring Festival Gala since 1990. This year is her fifth time as the host of the Spring Festival Gala. She is also the most popular host in the country. Everyone ate while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Everyone drank a little, but not much.

Liu Tao also watched with great interest.

By this time, many things had become blurred and he could not remember them clearly.

Some important events are also recorded in the original notebook, and I look at it every two or three years to keep the memory.

What I didn't remember at the time, I have forgotten now.

The next day, the first day of the new year.

Chen Fang, Liu Hongying, Liu Honglei, Zhu Lin and Liu Ziyu got up early and started working.

At about 10:, Liu Qi and others arrived at the courtyard.

There were hundreds of people, big and small.

There are brothers and sisters of Liu Zhenbang’s generation, as well as cousins.

In the past, everyone worked in their own place, transportation was inconvenient, and people rarely moved around.

In recent years, as transportation conditions have improved, more and more improvements have begun to appear.

Many of them were even transferred back to Beijing to work.

Some people who work in other places will come to Beijing during the Chinese New Year, and then come to Liu Tao's courtyard on the first day of the new year.

Even Chen Fang's brothers and sisters would gather together at this time.

None of these people are lazy at the moment, and each of them has a job.

Some people became cadres, but some people had limited abilities and only served as ordinary staff members.

One person achieves the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven!
It has been like this since ancient times!

As economic conditions improve, people will always attach more importance to education.

In particular, Liu Tao attaches great importance to academic qualifications. Those with higher academic qualifications can often obtain better jobs and receive better training.

You can even study abroad.

Liu Tao was actually a little helpless. There were all kinds of birds in the forest, and the same was true for his relatives.

Some people were punished, and they probably had resentment towards Liu Tao, but now everyone had a smile on their face.

If possible, Liu Tao would like to keep things simple, because he has no feelings for most of the people here.

But this world has always been full of human relationships and worldly affairs, and he is no exception.

At about 12 o'clock, the invited chef finally prepared the food and started serving it.

With so many people, there are more than a dozen tables in the courtyard.

Liu Tao just went through the motions and only had a sip of the wine.

Liu Tao never took the complaints from some relatives to heart and just laughed them off.

Some people are worth cultivating, but some people are not worth cultivating.

Liu Tao still admired people who could do their job honestly. He didn't care about people who were incompetent and ambitious.

Some elders brag about how good their children are, but Liu Tao doesn't believe that at all.

Of course, there are also many people who go into business to make a living. Some follow Liu Qi to do foreign trade business in the north, and some go to the south to make a living.

Some have achieved some success, while others have accomplished nothing.
