The next day, after Chen Nian completed the required professional courses in school according to the curriculum arrangement given by Chen Guo, he returned to his room and started his first "small lesson".

This small lesson is about confidentiality regulations, but in fact, Chen Nian already had a preliminary understanding of this in his previous life.

However, he had been doing relatively marginalized jobs before, and his awareness of "confidentiality" was indeed not that strong.

So this also led him to do many things that were at risk of leaking secrets - running to the library to draw pictures and exposing his own goals were typical mistakes.

There is no doubt that this mistake was brought out and whipped repeatedly by the teacher in charge of the confidentiality class. He mentioned it 10 times in a two-hour class, which made Chen Nianhou terrified.

Of course, this kind of teaching method did take root in his mind the illusory concept of "confidential awareness".

At the very least, he has developed the conditioned reflex of "before doing something, think about whether it violates the regulations or not."

In addition, the teacher also explained to him in detail the current confidentiality regulations.

For example, there are three levels of confidentiality: top secret, secret, and secret.

Project No. 22 is currently tentatively classified as a confidential project, which means that once leaked, it may cause serious damage to national security and interests.

For the management of such confidential projects, in addition to the ten confidentiality rules, what is more important are the complicated and cumbersome implementation measures.

Including communication equipment control, personnel review, confidential information and carrier management, process management, etc.

Chen Nian does not need to write down these specific measures completely, because someone will constantly remind him.

Therefore, his perception is not too strong for the time being.

For him now, the strongest feeling is that he has changed his mobile phone again.

From now on, the Motorola given to him by Chen Guo can only be used to deal with daily affairs, and it has also been monitored.

To say that I feel uncomfortable is definitely a little bit uncomfortable.

But if you say how awkward it really is, it's not that big of a deal.

If you are open and honest, no matter how much monitoring you do, what can you do?

Social death?

If the comrades responsible for confidentiality work really make you feel that the society is dead, then they will probably be laid off soon.

At the end of the course, the teacher said to Chen Nian sincerely:

"Actually, you are a very good little comrade - your temperament is very calm, you don't look like a young man."

"For people like this, confidentiality is the best thing to do."

"Because, most of the time, secrets are leaked not because of the temptation of profit, but because of simple negligence and arrogance."

"Do you know how our worst leak in the last two years happened?"

"It was one of our senior researchers who took the initiative to tell the key data of a certain project because he couldn't stand the provocation of others, thus proving that we are better than some people."

"Do you think this is stupid? Do we need proof? Aren't results the best proof?"

"But by then, he had completely forgotten about it."

"So, you must be steady."

"You have a special status. You will have more chances to encounter this kind of scene in the future. Don't be taken away by others, and don't fall into the trap set by others."

Chen Nian nodded solemnly, he was very confident about this.

I will never leak secrets just because I am eager to prove something.

Because I have seen the future before.

In the future, time will tell.

While Chen Nian was undergoing confidentiality training, something related to "leakage" was happening quietly.

Guam, interior of a U.S. Air Force base.

In a heavily guarded office, two commanders with high military ranks sat opposite each other and smoked cigars.

".So the order from Washington is clear? It requires us to increase the frequency of investigations? Why?"

The major general with a thick beard on his chin asked.

His name is Leon, and he is a leader among the young generation of the navy. He is in the prime of life at this time, and his approach to things is extremely radical.

But even such a person still had some doubts when faced with the instruction he received.

Because the intention of that instruction was a little too radical.

It even feels like a provocation.

"The reason is very complicated. In short, it is related to China's new aircraft."

The young officer opposite replied.

"New aircraft? Did you say Firebird? I remember Washington predicted that it would be put into service next year, right?"

"At this point, no matter what we do, we can't change the outcome. Why should we waste our flying hours?"

Leon asked puzzledly.

"No, things have changed."

"According to our reliable intelligence, China has suspended its purchase of AL-31FN. They seem to be planning to develop their own engines."

"This engine is probably the WS-10 that has been approved for the project."

"There is a high probability that they will have some technological breakthrough, and the expected revenue from such a breakthrough is much higher than the revenue from the Firebird being mass-produced and put into service on time, so they would rather continue to wait."

"But the thing is, we don't want to make them wait."

"In this period, it is necessary for them to own a third-generation aircraft of their own, and it is also the option to maximize profits."

"The satisfactory third-generation aircraft will help maintain the balance on the sea and maintain the tacit understanding between us in this area."

"If the balance is tipped, no matter which side the balance falls, it's not a good choice for us."

Hearing this, Leon nodded slightly.

He already understood what the young officer from Washington meant.

"So, you just want to take advantage, but you don't want to fight or leave, right?"

"If our advantage is too big, they will burn the boat. If our advantage is too small, the situation will be reversed."

"And the key is the Firebird. It can't fly too late, and it can't fly too well, right?"

"That's it."

The young officer nodded without hesitation, and then continued:

"So, that's our strategy - we're going to put pressure on them in the air to push back on their procurement plans."

"The AL-31FN must be installed on the Firebird, and the Firebird must fly into the air as soon as possible."

"We don't want their project to come to an end. Of course, we don't want the Firebird to grow into a real Firebird. It's nice to be a turkey."

"Hahaha"

Leon laughed, then he shook his head and said slightly contemptuously:

"You politicians always think too much about Firebird? That's just a name."

"With the current technology of the Chinese people, how can it be possible to build a fighter jet that can rival us?"

"So what if we let them continue research and development? I think that maybe letting them fully recognize the facts is the way to solve the problem once and for all."

"It's not that simple."

The young officer shook his head.

"China is not India. They have a saying: 'You can make a fortune silently'."

"This situation is the most dangerous."

"If we want to keep track of their movements, it's best to make them... well, noisy."
