Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

After more than ten seconds, another shell flew in and exploded behind the jeep body, and the shrapnel rattled the car shell.

In the woods, Du Hu and Zhang Laoshun were scolding the gunner together: "Where did your energy go when you hit two shots just now?"

……

In Luowan, the bow door of the Zhongrong warship was wide open, and the gangway had already been laid properly.The sprinting jeep only slowed down a little when approaching the Zhongrong ship, and then drove directly into the landing ship without stopping all the way.The Zhongrong ship quickly withdrew the springboard and closed the head door. As soon as the door closed, another 75mm grenade fired by a big buffalo flew over, touched the closed head door, and exploded. "咚—嗡—" with an echo.

At 11 o'clock in the morning on November 1, Hu Lian, commander of the 2th Corps, successfully transferred from Kinmen to Penghu.

Chapter 20, Heavy Industry Delegation

Tang Hua read the news of the liberation of Kinmen from the "People's Daily" on November 11.

This feels really bad...

Tang Hua began to miss the last month in Yan'an.At that time, you can enter the headquarters and the general staff headquarters, and you can read the battle reports and telegrams. No matter what the latest battle situation is on the front line, Tang Hua will know about the same time as the chairman and the commander-in-chief.It’s different now. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, various institutions were established one after another, and their functions were subdivided.

The military committee... is full of bigwigs in the military.The vice chairman of the Military Commission is almost the same as the later ten marshals plus the prime minister and vice chairman Liu.The members of the military committee are a few generals and a few senior generals who rebelled on the basis of the list of vice-chairmen. The 1954 edition of the National Defense Commission spoiled the top ten marshals awarded the following year in advance, and even spoiled the ranking order of the marshals (reminder: there is another name between the sixth marshal and No.7).

Tang Hua is now under the Government Affairs Council system.Director of the Electronic Industry Bureau of the Ministry of Heavy Industry, and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Heavy Industry.Tang Hua also participated in the preparatory meeting of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but Tang Hua only planned to show his face at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and finish.

The other deputy minister was Liu Nai, director of the General Administration of Ordnance Industry.

So Tang Hua is not the bureau chief now, but the deputy department. ...The democratic parties are in a bit of an easy mode in this regard.

After the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Government Affairs Council was established, which later became the State Council.There are four committees under the Government Administration Council, more than 20 ministries, councils, institutes, departments, and departments. The industry-related departments include the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Heavy Industry, the Ministry of Fuel Industry, the Ministry of Textile Industry, the Ministry of Food Industry, and the Ministry of Light Industry.

According to the spirit of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the ratio of party members to democratic parties in the ministerial-level units under the Government Administration Council is close to 1:1. There are 29 party members and 27 democratic parties/independents.Among the democratic parties, there is still a balance between the eight major parties. For example, the Minister of Communications. Tang Hua always thought that Mao Yisheng was the most suitable, but whoever became the Minister of Communications turned out to be so-and-so.There is no way out, Mao Yisheng has no family or faction, so whoever is the vice chairman of the Democratic League.Of course, having said that, as a beneficiary of the balance of the eight major parties, Tang Hua said that he is very satisfied now.

Under the Ministry of Heavy Industry are Iron and Steel Industry Bureau, Nonferrous Metals Industry Bureau, Machinery Industry Bureau, Shipbuilding Industry Bureau, Chemical Industry Bureau, Electronics Industry Bureau, and Ordnance Industry Bureau.Because of the appearance of Tang Hua, the Ministry of Machinery (Electronic Industry), which was originally established in 1963, was born ahead of schedule.

The first thing the Ministry of Heavy Industry established was to organize a heavy industry inspection team.

After the founding of New China, in order to allow party cadres to learn modern industrial knowledge and understand the current situation of domestic industry, the central government organized this investigation group. To serve as the leader of the industrial sector.The mission was very high-standard, and the chairman personally ordered the formation, and the chief accountant—now Vice Premier Chen—arranged and arranged the mission.There are not many members of the inspection team, a total of more than a dozen people, Liu Nai is the head of the team, and Tang Hua is the team leader.

The team leader and team members mean to investigate and learn.Team leader means... training the team members along the way.To Tang Hua's surprise, before the delegation visited the first city, the members began to study by themselves.

"Deputy Minister Tang, that, I borrowed someone else's copy of this note, and I don't understand this passage, I don't know if it was copied or my understanding was wrong, can you tell me..."

On October 10, on the train from Beijing to Shenyang, Liu Nai asked Tang Hua with a notebook.

Tang Hua took the notebook, each class was neatly written, and the handwriting was very serious. Isn't this the class notes he lectured at the Yan'an Academy of Natural Sciences?

"This paragraph is like this..." Tang Hua completed the part that the students didn't understand and was delayed when copying the notes, and said: "Vice Minister Liu, don't be so polite, you can call me Tang Hua, or Comrade Tang Hua In the future, if you have any questions, just ask them directly.... In the future, I will write a pamphlet, a reader on the modern industrial system, and print it out for comrades in the industrial system.”

"Well, I also have the handouts given by Vice Minister Tang, and they are still mimeographed." Cui Zhong from the North China base poked his head out, holding up a mimeographed material, "When the students from Yan'an come back, I will ask them to engrave The stencils came out and over 100 copies were mimeographed."

Then the members of the inspection team began to talk back and communicate with each other.Several cadres in the Northwest and North China have basically read the handouts, but the cadres in the Northeast Bureau, East China Bureau, and Southern Bureau have not read it.Then, the handouts brought by the cadres in North China and Northwest China were passed around among the cadres of the last three bureaus.

……

The first stop, Shenyang.

Northeast China was the most industrialized area in China at this time, and Shenyang was the main industrial city in Northeast China.In Tiexi District, the delegation visited the machine tool factory, heavy machinery factory, transformer factory and non-ferrous smelter.Near Shenyang, they successively visited Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Benxi Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and Fushun Open-pit Coal Mine.The cadres of the Northeast Bureau have seen the world, but the cadres in other regions saw the chimneys and factories one after another, and they were all excited and felt that their tasks were extremely difficult.

"This is a steel bar with a length of 70 centimeters and a diameter of 1 centimeters." In Fengtian Arsenal, Tang Hua held up a blank of a gun barrel. "How can we get such a steel bar? First, we dug out two kilograms of iron ore in Anshan and washed the ore. We mined three kilograms of coal in Fushun and smelted it into coke. Then we burned quicklime locally in Anshan and took a small amount for later use. Iron ore, coke, and quicklime are transported to Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to smelt pig iron. The molten iron is then poured into steelmaking furnaces to obtain rough steel billets. The rough steel billets are sent to Shenyang. Then, we have to dig a few taels of chromium ore in Kaishantun, Jilin, and Jinchuan, Gansu A small amount of nickel ore and a small amount of manganese ore were dug in Shanxi. These ores were smelted into metals and sent to Shenyang. They were smelted by the electric furnace of Fengtian Arsenal into special steel that can be used as gun barrels, and rolled into steel bars. If you are in the United States, you can do this Everything, to get a blank barrel, it only costs a dollar, which is about two or three oceans."

"Next, the arsenal uses a machine tool to drill a 70-centimeter-long hole in the middle of the steel bar, then pulls out 4 rifling lines in it, and finally grinds and corrects it so that the diameter is 7.7 millimeters, and the error is less than plus or minus 0.003 millimeters. This process is compared to a gun Tube blanks are cumbersome, but only cost $6."

"Old Liu, you made Type 81 horse rifles in the arsenal in the border area. I remember Li Qiang said that your arsenal mobilized more than a dozen workers at that time, right?"

"Yes, there are 15 people including me."

"15 workers made 20 gun barrels with rail steel in two months. Although the salary of the workers in the arsenal in the base area was millet, at that time the monthly salary of the skilled workers in the arsenal in the Northeast was 22 yuan, so the 20 One gun barrel... the wages of the workers alone are 660 oceans, which is equivalent to 33 oceans per gun barrel, which is more expensive than the United States."

While talking, Tang Hua held chalk with his right hand and wrote on the blackboard, drawing boxes and lines. At this moment, the cadres of the inspection team had turned their eyes away from the tall factory building and the dark machine tools, and were all looking at the blackboard.

"Modern machine big industry, its first feature is 'big', which is a huge complex industrial system formed by many factories, mines, workshops, laboratories and connected transportation facilities. The second is 'efficient' ', after more than 100 years of practice, improvement and innovation in the entire industrial system, the production efficiency has been improved time and time again, the manpower used to operate industrial machines has been reduced, and the output of industrial machines per unit time has been increased, which enables advanced industrial countries to use the lowest cost. Produce products of the highest quality."

"Everyone also noticed that the system I wrote on the blackboard is different from what we saw in Northeast China. What we saw was a broken system. There was no chromium, no nickel, no manganese. In fact, the current Fengtian The arsenal also did not have an electric furnace for smelting special steel. During the Japanese occupation period, the gun steel ingots of the Fengtian arsenal were supplied by the Japanese mainland. Now the steel ingots are supplied by Dalian Jianxin Company. In fact, Dalian Jianxin Company cannot complete the above steps, and It has received some external assistance. We will see it in the follow-up inspection trip."

……

Dalian, the last stop of the Northeast inspection.

Tang Hua finally saw the Dalian Jianxin Company mentioned many times in the telegrams.

After the Liaoshen Campaign, the factory area of ​​Jianxin Company has expanded beyond the Soviet-controlled area of ​​Luda. It has two induction furnaces, which can smelt gun steel under the condition that the Soviet Union provides nickel and chromium. As a result, Dalian Jianxin Company has developed faster than in history. The scale is larger and the technical force is stronger. In 1948, Jianxin Company manufactured the first 75mm mountain cannon. In 1949, the model of this level of artillery was changed from imitating Japanese mountain cannon to imitating American 75mm light howitzer.In addition, there is a 37mm anti-aircraft gun production line and a 89mm imitation Super Bazooka production line.

Liu Nai pounced on a row of six light howitzers placed in the workshop of the gun factory, stroking the cold barrels fondly.This old Jinchaji military engineer stayed in the most difficult place during the War of Liberation. When he saw the light howitzer made by his arsenal, he suddenly couldn't walk.

"During the War of Liberation, Jianxin Company provided a large amount of shells, guns and artillery for Northeast and East China. Unfortunately, the distance between North China and Northwest China was too far, and the land transportation was basically cut off. Therefore, our army in North China and Northwest China could not use the weapons and ammunition of Jianxin Company." Tang Hua said.

Liu Nai: "Even if there is transportation, China is so big and the people's army has millions of people. It is impossible to have only one arsenal. This is not enough."

"Taiyuan, Chongqing." Tang Hua and Liu Nai said the names of these two cities one after the other.

Chapter 21, Inventing the Computer Again

The heavy industry delegation completed the investigation in Northeast China and Tianjin and returned to Beijing temporarily.

When Tang Hua came back, the first news he got was that Zhou Xuan bought a small courtyard in Beijing.

If Zhou Xuan didn't come, Tang Hua was really too busy to buy a house.Now Beijing's real estate market can still be traded freely, in fact, it will also be in the next few years.It is only since 1950 that a public-private joint venture real estate company has been organized to arrange housing for Beijing's rapidly increasing population (mostly factory workers and government officials), that is, to control the original real estate tenants and not to drive up rental prices.

Moreover, since Beijing was established as the capital, not only the military and party and government agencies, but also democrats from the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and their entourages also came to live in Beijing one after another, and housing prices in Beijing will continue to rise considerably since 1950.Listen to women when buying a house, and listen to men when selling a house. This seems to be the truth since ancient times.

But when he saw the small courtyard that Zhou Xuan bought, Tang Hua couldn't help but burst into tears.What kind of broken house is this...

Dilapidated tile roofs, mottled walls, and old doors and windows are horrible.The yard is quite big, and there is a tree in the middle, and two table tennis tables can be supported under the tree, but there are no table tennis tables now, only four toilet buckets.Yes, there is no sewer or toilet in this house. At night, I have to go out and walk 200 meters to go to the toilet, or use a urinal in the yard to solve the problem.There is no running water, and the faucet has to walk 100 meters to buy water from a public faucet and pick it up to put the water tank.

"It's okay, just find workers to renovate and decorate." Zhou Xuan said.

"I miss Shanghai very much, I miss Sinan Mansion... Besides, didn't you agree to continue to develop in Shanghai?" Tang Hua said.I don't care if it's inside the second ring road or the first ring road, no matter how many billions this small courtyard will be worth in a few decades, even the dormitory of the Ministry of Heavy Industry is more livable than here.

"It's okay, I bought it first, it's not expensive anyway. If you are busy in Beijing for a long time and can't come back, I can still visit you."

……

After staying in Beijing for only two days, the heavy industry delegation started their investigation trip to East China.

Going south along Jinpu Road, the delegation saw farmland that had not changed for several hours outside the window. It was already November, and the crops in the field had already been harvested, and the field was bleak.

"We still have more than 80% of the population living in the countryside and making a living from farming. I don't know how many years it will take to turn our country into an industrial country." Gu Jingxin, a member of the inspection team, said.

"To turn 1% of the agricultural population into an industrial population, 20% of the urban population needs to work for one year to accumulate the means of production, such as factories, workshops, machines, etc. Wait." Tang Hua said, "This means that if China is to achieve industrialization naturally, the speed of development will be very slow, 1% a year...after urbanization reaches 1%, it will be 40% a year. If we still need that 2% of the industrial population to produce weaponry and ammunition that are both expensive and useless as means of production, then the rate of industrial self-reproduction will be even slower. At least in the early stages of development, we will hardly see signs of rapid progress .unless...we get external support."

Seeing that the members of the inspection team were lost in thought, Tang Hua said again: "Of course, there is another way, that is, we let the 20% of the urban population, or our existing small-scale industrial system, play an unprecedented role. Strength, in the past, only 1% of farmers could accumulate wealth to become industrial workers each year. Now, with the support of higher technology and higher management efficiency, we can produce more or more advanced products with the same number of workers. , higher-value products, and even the premium brought about by the difference in technology, to earn excess profits from abroad, so that the wealth accumulated each year can be used by 2% or even 3% of the population to complete industrialization. In the future, I think these two Both methods are worth a try, not only trying to seek external assistance, but also trying to seek overtake brought by technological power."
