“In order to ensure the maximum effect of studying abroad, the association also formulated a set of strict political review systems in the early and late stages.
At that time, it was mainly to arrange for domestic college students to study abroad at Big Brother, and the school and the local personnel department would conduct a preliminary review.
This review mainly focuses on personal experience, family background and personal ideological and political consciousness, and is submitted to the top local leaders for signature and approval.
After signing, it will be submitted to the education department for review and signed by the minister.
Only students who pass the review are eligible to take the exam.
After passing the political examination, it will be transferred to the examination of professional knowledge and ability.
At that time, in order to ensure that students studying abroad in Big Brother could keep up with the learning progress of their schools, a "high-level entry into low-level" approach was adopted.
Lao Cai and I entered their institute to study.
At that time, we had been working at the university for a year and were lecturers at Jiaotong University.
At first, everyone didn’t know it. They didn’t learn Russian very much, and they didn’t get used to it after going there for a long time.
The next few periods were just fine. The Beijing Russian College set up a department called the Preparatory Department for Studying in the Soviet Union, which mainly provided high-intensity Russian language training to students who had passed the early political examination.
At that time, the review of studying abroad was really strict. Everyone said that it was enough to join the party, but not necessarily to stay in the Soviet Union. "
After Mrs. Cai finished speaking, she was still full of sighs.
It's just that these things were only felt by the couple, and others just regarded them as stories.
At noon on the third day, the train arrived in Xijing and it was time for everyone to say goodbye.
In the past two days, several people have been discussing the project. Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie made a large notebook of notes.
Before parting, I left contact information with several people.
The three of them got out of the car.
Someone was waiting for someone on the station platform holding a sign.
Yan Jiecheng looked around and saw two soldiers holding a sign with his name written on it.
Then he smiled at Tian Fujun and said: "Brother Tian, it seems that we are going to say goodbye here. I will settle down and write you a letter. I will go to Huangyuan to see you when I have the opportunity."
"Haha, then you must come, I still owe you biangbiang noodles."
"Haha, definitely."
After the three of them separated, Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie walked towards the two soldiers.
"Hello, comrade, we are Yan Jiecheng and Xie Genshi."
Yan Jiecheng said and handed the two people letters of introduction.
After reading the letter of introduction, the two men immediately saluted: "Hello, chief, Zhao Wei of the Jincheng Military Region has been ordered to come to greet you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Yan Jiecheng said quickly.
After taking action, the soldier introduced him: "This is the driver Xiao Liu."
Several people introduced each other and helped carry their luggage to the parking spot.
Arriving in front of a jeep, Staff Officer Zhao smiled and said, "The two leaders are here."
Yan Jie thought it was an American Willys, so he smiled and said, "Did Captain Chiang or Sam the Japanese give this car?"
Staff Zhao smiled and said: "I don't know that, but I think I would rather not give it away."
The Xiguan Oilfield Battle Headquarters of the Jincheng Military Region is located in Changqingqiao Village, Ning County, Qingyang Prefecture, Gansu Province.
It was more than two hundred kilometers away from Xijing. The little jeep had a bumpy journey and finally arrived at seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
Yan Jiecheng felt as if his internal organs were about to be knocked out.
Lao Xie was not much better, his face was pale.
After the two got out of the car, someone from the headquarters came to greet them.
Staff Officer Zhao quickly stepped forward and saluted and said: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the two comrades from the capital have been received."
The commander-in-chief, who was in his fifties, returned a military salute and said, "Well, okay, not bad."
After saying that, he went to Yan Jiecheng and the two of them, stretched out his hand towards Lao Xie and said, "I think this is our expert Yan. I, Zhang Wangjing of the Jincheng Military Region, are now in charge of our battle headquarters."
Lao Xie shook hands with him and said awkwardly: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief, this is Director Yan Jiecheng, and I am Xie Genshi."
Commander Zhang was not embarrassed and said to Yan Jiecheng with a smile: "It's true that people should not be judged by their appearance. Expert Yan is young and promising."
"Hello, Commander-in-Chief, don't dare call me an expert. You can call me Xiao Yan or Yan Gong."
"Hahaha, okay, then I, Lao Zhang, won't be polite.
Let's go to the cave to talk. We've prepared some dinner for you. "
After saying that, he ordered people to move Yan Jiecheng's luggage.
"You bunch of little bastards, please be gentle. Scholars' things are all precious. If they break, I won't even be able to compensate you by selling them to you."
Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie looked at each other, and they had a preliminary understanding of the commander-in-chief's character.
Yan Jiecheng looked around and said it was a headquarters, more like a refugee camp.
There are more than twenty cave dwellings set up on a cliff, and there are some large and small tents in front of the cave dwellings.
Several people entered the cave, and after being polite, the commander-in-chief Zhang Wangjing asked someone to bring them steaming hot noodles. Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie were not polite either, and each of them finished two large bowls.
After eating, the two of them got to know the cadres of the headquarters, large and small, and went through some necessary procedures.
The battle headquarters also gave him the title of director of the survey and design department.
Of course Lao Xie is the deputy minister who does his job.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, the two came to the cave dwelling assigned to them.
The space is not big, less than twenty square meters.
There is a kang on one side, and fortunately, the bedding is ready-made.
On one side is an open space with two sets of tables and chairs and a large bookshelf.
There are two thermos bottles placed near the door.
There was a kerosene lamp by the window.
This was his and Lao Xie's temporary dormitory and office.
Their luggage had been moved over a long time ago and was now neatly placed on the ground.
Yan Jiecheng and the others did not pack their luggage, but went directly to the kang and fell asleep with their heads covered.
After riding the train for several days, I was really tired.
A night of silence.
The two of them woke up early the next day, because the soldiers outside had already begun to do morning exercises and chanted slogans so loudly that they couldn't sleep anymore.
Get up and wash up.
Neither of them packed their luggage.
After washing up, Yan Jiecheng said: "Lao Xie, we are afraid we have to set off again."
The two of them spent the whole morning recuperating.
After a while, Staff Zhao came in with a stack of materials.
"Minister Yan, this is the information from our preliminary survey. I will send it to you. You can see if it is useful."
Yan Jiecheng hurriedly brought in Staff Officer Zhao and thanked him: "Thank you so much. Without your materials, I would be completely blind. I don't know where to start."
"As long as it's useful, we're afraid we won't be able to use it. Then I'll go first while you're busy." After that, Staff Zhao was about to leave.
Yan Jiecheng said quickly: "Consultant Zhao, we are going to go out for on-site inspection tomorrow. Is there anything the headquarters needs to prepare?"
Yan Jiecheng and the others discussed three plans on the train.
These three options are actually three lines.
In short, it is the northern line, the southern line and the middle line advocated by Yan Jiecheng.
Said to be the center line, in fact, it is often arranged in a serpentine shape to connect the counties and cities on both sides as much as possible.
Therefore, in the end, both the northern and southern lines are shorter than the central line.
But Yan Jiecheng knew that the centerline was the real economic artery.
What Yan Jiecheng needs to do now is to conduct on-site surveys of the three planned routes.
Submit the most accurate survey report and design plan to the superior department.
And try your best to convince the leader to choose the middle line.
After the superior department decides on the construction plan, he will organize the construction.
Therefore, Yan Jiecheng felt that he would not be able to go back for a year and a half.
After listening to Yan Jiecheng's words, Counselor Zhao understood that this was the proper meaning and was not surprised.
He said directly: "No problem, the survey team is always on standby. I will contact security and logistics right away."
No matter which route you take, surveyors will need to survey and map the entire route.
Yan Jiecheng then designed the route based on these surveying and mapping data.
Although this task has been completed in the early stage, some terrains and landforms still need to be visited on site. Just looking at the data is not enough.
Therefore, they were destined to have no chance to stay at the headquarters.
After Staff Zhao left for a while, a clerk informed Yan Jiecheng to go to the headquarters for a meeting.
Yan Jiecheng and the two arrived at the headquarters and found that everyone was there.
Seeing Yan Jiecheng's arrival, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Wangjing said: "Everyone knows that our Director Yan and the others need to be at the front of the construction site all the time because of their work.
Therefore, we still need you to provide good support for logistics. We cannot ask people to work hard on the front line while you drag your legs in the rear. If you let me know the military law. "
Yan Jiecheng also told everyone about his plan.
“Dear leaders, my suggestion is that we set up nine semi-permanent camps along the way, one for every 30 kilometers.
It is just fifteen kilometers from the construction site to both ends, and the radiation range is just right. "
Director Liu of the Logistics Department asked: "Director Yan, why do you want to set up a semi-permanent camp? You know that you can only stay for a few days during the survey, only half a month at most. Isn't this too extravagant?
Let me tell you, it's not too cold yet and you can live in a tent.
When the weather gets cold later, you can contact local cadres to stay at people’s homes.
After all, our funds are very tight. "
Yan Jiecheng also saw that Minister Liu was purely discussing the matter without targeting him, so he explained: "Have you ever thought about a question? Where will our workers live during the later construction?
In the future, maintenance staff and care staff will be established.
Our construction can be carried out in sections. Just divide it into nine sections and build the final joint together. Isn't this equivalent to nine times the number of people working on it? "
When everyone thinks about it, this is the truth. As long as it is not wasted, they actually don't have any objections.
Seeing that everyone no longer objected, Yan Jiecheng continued: "Dear leaders, in fact, these nine camps can be built now.
I calculated that our survey will be completed by January next year at the latest.
The design drawings will probably be ready for review in February.
Construction is expected to start in less than March, leaving us little time. "
Commander-in-chief Zhang Wangjing directly adopted Yan Jiecheng's suggestion at the meeting.
When Yan Jiecheng and others went to investigate, he told them to pay attention to two things.
The first is to prevent wolves. There are wild wolves in the northwest region from time to time, so you must pay attention to safety.
The second thing is to be careful of bandits.
This is no joke. There is a Wang Youbang in Wushan, Qingyang. This man is a heinous and murderous big devil and bandit.
When the folks heard this name, they were all frightened.
Fortunately, they were eliminated by General Wang, but a few small Luoluo were missing and were running around Wushan.
However, Yan Jiecheng and the others could not avoid Wu Shan during their investigation, so they gave special instructions.
Of course, no one paid much attention to this matter. After all, there was a squad of soldiers following Yan Jiecheng and his survey team. They were all elite soldiers who had experienced many battles. The bandits had to hide deep enough, otherwise they would have suddenly burst out.
After another night, Yan Jiecheng and the others set off.
Two trucks and one jeep took all the people and supplies of the survey team on the road.
They arrived at Yangzhuang, Ning County at noon, and this was their first stop.
The villagers of Yangzhuang have built cave dwellings on the rolling hillside, which is very spectacular.
The terrain here is undulating, with mountains, hills, and wide valleys coexisting, and is surrounded by mountain systems.
Yan Jiecheng had a headache when he saw it.
Due to soil erosion here, the ground is criss-crossed with ravines.
Moreover, loess is soil with fine particles, loose texture, and is silt loam.
Very unfriendly for the upcoming project.
Difficulties such as a large amount of earthwork and unstable roadbed are waiting for Yan Jiecheng.
The soldiers and the survey team were all setting up tents. The survey team were all engineers, so setting up tents was a piece of cake.
Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie climbed to the ridge and observed the surrounding landforms with telescopes.
"Director, this project is not easy to do. You see, the terrain here is too different, the amount of soil work is huge, and we lack mechanical equipment. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people will be mobilized to carry it on their backs."
Yan Jiecheng nodded after seeing it, and then cheered: "Don't be afraid, we still have a unicycle, a frame truck and the spirit of never giving up. This mountain can't stop us.
What Yu Gong couldn't do, we can certainly do. "
While the two were talking, several people in the distance climbed to the ridge and walked towards Yan Jiecheng and the others.
Yan Jiecheng looked at them like local villagers and didn't care.
Several people came close to me and asked cautiously: "Where did you meet up from? What are you doing in Ermen Yangzhuang?"
Yan Jiecheng signaled to Lao Xie, and Lao Xie quickly said: "Fellow, we are railway builders, and we have come to your place for inspection."
As he said this, Lao Xie pointed to the place where the tents were set up and said, "We will be staying here for a while, what a disturbance."
"Oh, you are with the soldiers at the foot of the mountain. Let's just say there are no faces in this place like Cao all year round."
Then the leader stretched out his hands somewhat awkwardly and said: "Hello, two leaders, this is Yang Mancang, secretary of the ground brigade. Welcome leaders to visit Ermen Village."
Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie shook hands with the village party secretary and got to know each other.
After all, Yan Jiecheng will still need local people to lead the way for his subsequent investigation, so it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with this book.
When the party secretary saw that the conversation was almost over, he asked: "Do the two leaders mean to build a railway in Russia?"
Yan Jiecheng smiled and said: "I don't know yet. Let's see where to fix it first. The details will have to wait for the leadership to decide."
Party Secretary Yang quickly said: "Don't dare do this. The two leaders will tell you that this place is great. Look at the small river over there. There are sand, stones and water in the river. How convenient it is."
Besides, there is nothing else in our brigade, and the labor force is sufficient. When the time comes to build the railway, everyone will help.
Besides, if the railway construction passes through someone's ancestral grave, the village committee will mobilize them to move the grave, without bothering the leaders at all.
The railway must pass through Russia. "
Yan Jiecheng glanced at the village party secretary in surprise. This man was very knowledgeable.
Know how important the railroad is to them.
In some places, railways are being built, and the villagers just want to take a piece of the skin off the project.
After going back and forth, the railway was eventually detoured, and the village eventually lost its long-term development convenience.
Yan Jiecheng was a little curious when he saw this and said with a smile: "Uncle Yang, you are worthy of being the party secretary. You can see the benefits of connecting the railway at a glance. You are so insightful."
Another villager on the side, Yang Manquan, who is also the deputy party secretary of his village, said: "Leader, please don't be deceived by him, he has a lot of knowledge.
I didn’t hear it from the eldest son of his family, but his baby is a promising person. This year he was admitted to the 49th City Railway Technical College and studied railway engineering.
I heard their teacher say that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Once the railway is connected, your family will be happy. "
Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie looked at each other and smiled.
What a coincidence!
