Chapter 172: First Meeting with the Successor

Cloud explosive bombs are powerful, easy-to-make, and low-cost weapons.

Its price is about the same as ordinary artillery shells, not even as good as some special artillery shells.

For example, the American BLU-82 is a big 6.8-ton weapon worth only US$27,000 each.

And this is the United States. If it were China, the price would be at least half less.

Of course, cloud bombs that are too large are not very good. They are too powerful and are not easy to use on the battlefield. Once a mushroom cloud is raised, it can easily be thought that a nuclear bomb has been used, which will cause a very bad response.

But when individual rocket launchers fire cloud explosive bombs, this problem doesn't arise.

Liu Tao felt that with the weapons and equipment he prepared for the combined battalion, whether it was Kuolin Mountain, Laoshan, or Zheyin Mountain, they could overcome difficulties and eliminate enemies.

"Yes, director!" Li Fuguo saluted with a military salute.

Afterwards, Liu Tao left.

The exploration of weapons and equipment required Li Fuguo to lead his soldiers to explore, train and use weapons in normal times, and only then can the advantages of weapons and equipment be used on the battlefield.

By now, it can be said that the firepower of the combined battalion far exceeds that of a regiment.

The tanks of the two tank companies are still not fully in place, and the guns of the artillery company are not yet in place.

Otherwise, the firepower is definitely strong enough.

If they were equipped with armed helicopters, they would probably be able to form a division of tough guys.

So far, as long as it is equipped with some vehicles and armored vehicles, the combined battalion can almost be said to be a mechanized force.

As for the information-based troops, they are still far away and do not have the conditions.

Maybe in the future, we will get more college students, and some mobile communication equipment and computers, so that the entire command can be unimpeded. Maybe it can be called an information-based army.

Returning to the factory quality inspection room, there are boxes of heavy machine guns, heavy sniper rifles, anti-aircraft machine guns, sniper rifles, rifle grenades, sniper grenade guns and various bullets.

As for the general-purpose machine gun, the pass rate had stabilized half a month ago, and Liu Tao canceled the last inspection procedure by himself.

It was the sniper rifle. What he needed to test now was actually the scope. There were always some problems in this area.

After testing one by one, Liu Tao gave instructions.

Next, he will return to Beijing for vacation. He will have to make arrangements for the eight days he will be there.

If you have to contact him in an emergency, you have to either call his home phone number or contact the Fifth Machinery Department.

Early the next morning, Liu Tao was taken directly to the airport by his driver and took a plane to the capital.

Liu Tao was very excited to see his wife again.

The couple lives in two places and can only spend these eight days together every month.

It just so happens that these few years have been the time for childbirth.

Not only Liu Tao's parents moved to the courtyard, but Zhu Lin's parents also moved to the courtyard, just in case.

Even for convenience, Liu Tao sent an extra jeep to the capital together with self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and tanks half a month ago.

Once there is a situation, you can be sent to the hospital to give birth to the baby as soon as possible.

At night, Zhu Lin seemed a little nervous.

When I was pregnant before, I talked every day about wanting to give birth as soon as possible, but now that I was about to give birth, I was nervous again.

"Do you think there will be anything wrong with our son when he is born?" Zhu Lin lay next to Liu Tao, holding Liu Tao's hand, and said worriedly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our child will definitely be healthy." Liu Tao comforted him with a smile, "Besides, how do you know he is a son? Maybe he is a daughter!"

Zhu Lin smiled and said: "But I like sons! Naturally, I like to have sons!"

"If a son is not good, a daughter is better. A daughter is her mother's little cotton-padded jacket and her father's lover in his previous life. If you are so beautiful, the daughter you gave birth to will definitely be very beautiful too." Liu Tao smiled and touched Zhu Lin's hair.

To be honest, in his heart he hopes to have a daughter. How nice and caring a daughter is!

Unlike his son, he has to be a strict father to his son, and he has to chase him behind his back with a bamboo stick since he was a child.

Hearing what Liu Tao said, Zhu Lin felt much more relaxed.

This is the case in this era. Although the country has always promoted equality between men and women, men and women occupy half the sky. Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shen Jilan's initiative of 'equal pay for men and women for equal work' was written into the first people's constitution in Chinese history, the Constitution of the People's Republic of China. .

But in fact, with thousands of years of cultural inheritance, how can the preference for boys over girls be changed in just thirty years?

Preferring boys over girls is still a common phenomenon, even in cities! In rural areas of this era, it is even more serious.

Girls often fail to study after several years of primary school, while boys' families often force them to study.

Zhu Lin was also worried that if she gave birth to a daughter, her husband and mother-in-law would not welcome her.

Soon, the two fell asleep.

The next day, Liu Tao originally planned to go to the Fifth Machinery Department, but at eight o'clock in the morning, just when he was about to go out, Zhu Lin's stomach began to hurt. He quickly got in the car, Chen Fang and Fang Zhen, Liu Zhenbang , Zhu Xiongxin took the bus, and Liu Tao drove a jeep to the hospital in person.

After arriving at the hospital, she was taken to the delivery room.

At this time, there was no way to accompany the childbirth, so everyone had to wait outside.

Everyone was sitting around outside the delivery room. Even Liu Tao was very nervous. He couldn't sit still at all. He was standing and walking around. He was extremely nervous.

Expectations and worries at the same time.

Liu Tao discovered for the first time how time passed so slowly! ?

I don’t know how long it took, but the door of the delivery room finally opened, and a nurse wearing a mask walked out and said with a smile: "Mother and child are safe, it’s a big fat boy, 7.6 jin."

Everyone was delighted.

The safety of mother and child is the most important.

Soon, the child was pushed out.

Liu Tao happily held the child. The newborn baby was soft and Liu Tao was very nervous. He felt that he couldn’t hold it steadily, as if this was not a 7.6 jin child, but a 76 jin weight.

Chen Fang and Fang Zhen were even more delighted. This big fat boy was chubby when he was born, which was the favorite of the elders.

Grandmothers and grandmothers like chubby children the most.

After a while, Zhu Lin was also pushed out. Seeing her sweaty appearance, Liu Tao felt distressed and stepped forward to hold her hand: "My wife, you have worked hard!"

"What do you want to name your son?" Zhu Lin's voice was a little weak, but there was a trace of maternal brilliance between her eyes.

It is still very obvious whether a woman has given birth or not.

"Liu Jingming!" Liu Tao pondered for a moment and chose a name he had prepared. According to what they had agreed on before, if it was a boy, he would name it, and if it was a girl, Zhu Lin would name it.

Liu Tao softly said, "When the spring is warm and the scenery is bright, the waves are calm, and the sky is blue and boundless."

Zhu Lin seemed to feel the warm spring breeze and the sunshine. She also heard Liu Tao's implication, hoping that the child would grow up in a peaceful era of a strong country and a rich people, and grow up safely, healthily and happily.

Choosing this name naturally means that the child hopes to grow up in a peaceful era, and grow up healthy and happy physically and mentally. And this era is exactly what Liu Tao created for his descendants, and he is willing to work harder for it.
