"Comrade Chief, I am Lu Yuan, the person in charge of the General Affairs Section of the Military Industry Bureau, responsible for handling you. This is the document the director asked me to forward to you." The sun was blazing, and the Buick drove smoothly on the slightly bumpy cinder road. He sat in the back Lu Yuan, who was sitting in the row, raised his hand to salute Li Qiang and said respectfully.
After saying that, he handed over a top-secret document.
According to the order of the superior department, Li Qiang, as the successor of the Military Industry Bureau, has obtained the highest authorization to understand the internal information of the Military Industry Bureau.
Military Industry Bureau?
Li Qiang was slightly startled when he heard this. He took the top-secret document and asked curiously: "Comrade Lu, who is your director?"
Li Qiang, who had just returned to China, knew nothing about a series of developments in the Military Industry Bureau and the base area. When he received the order to return to China, the content of the order only asked him to return to China quickly, and no other content was disclosed.
Through the information given by Lu Yuan, Li Qiang realized that the situation in the base area seemed to be different from what he expected. It seemed that the base area had restored a certain degree of military production capacity.
However, it is unclear to what extent the specific production scale and technical level have reached. If it can reach 70% of the Guantian Arsenal period, it will lay a solid foundation for subsequent military production.
As a cutting-edge genius, Li Qiang can guess the thoughts of his superiors through just a few words. If nothing else happens, he will be responsible for leading the Military Industry Bureau to produce weapons and equipment for the troops.
"Chen Kang, the director said you are good friends." Lu Yuan responded with a smile.
"It turns out to be this guy Chen Kang. Isn't he the front-line commander of the army? How come he was transferred to engage in military production." Li Qiang was a little surprised. He felt very kind to Chen Kang's name. He smiled and said to Lu Yuan: "Lu Comrade, please briefly introduce the basic situation of the Military Industry Bureau, its main responsibilities, organizational framework and military production."
"The main responsibility of the Military Industry Bureau is to coordinate and manage weapons and equipment production and industrial construction. The first goal is to complete the wartime production plan, the second goal is to produce high-quality weapons and ammunition to supply the troops, and the third goal is to complete various industrial construction projects."
"In terms of the organizational framework, it consists of five administrative departments and the highest science and technology group, including the General Affairs Section, Ordnance Industry Section, Engineering Affairs Section, Gunpowder Section, and Mineral Resources Section. Each department is further subdivided according to its functions. The top science and technology group is mainly Each factory unit provides technical support and leads all scientific research projects.”
"In terms of military production, we have basically achieved the goal of 'light weapons system' planned by the highest technology group, and are moving towards the goal of 'heavy weapons system'. We can produce the following weapons and equipment: 792 rifle ammunition, imitation M24 offensive grenades, conventional Loose-fire mines, 82-type mortar shells, 60-type mortar shells, medium-sized formal rifles, and 37-type 60-type mortars.”
“In addition to military production, with the support of the highest science and technology group, we have made significant achievements in industrial construction. We have built our own sulfuric acid plant, explosives plant, cement plant, iron plant, machinery manufacturing plant and steel plant. The new Yanma Highway and Yushen Highway are under construction, and the highway projects are on cement land base."
"Comrade Chief, this is the current basic situation of the Military Industry Bureau."
Lu Yuan spoke concisely and quickly, introducing the situation to the future chief steward of the Military Industry Bureau next to him like a treasure trove. There was a hint of excitement in his tone that could not be suppressed whenever he mentioned it.
For comrades who are used to poverty, the current achievements of the Military Industry Bureau are really beyond words. Even though it has been so long, I still feel excited every time I mention it.
Because this is their achievement.
"You mean, we can now produce our own mortars, rifles, and bullets?" Li Qiang was confused: "In addition, there are also some heavy industries and steel industries?"
Incredible!
Li Qiang, who had been able to maintain the demeanor of a senior scholar before, fell into a daze after listening to Lu Yuan's introduction. He couldn't believe what he heard.
Produce your own mortars, rifles, and bullets involving multiple disciplines, and establish some heavy industries and steel industries!
It's not that he has poor psychological quality, but that Li Qiang, who has stayed in the Soviet Union for six years, deeply understands the meaning of what Lu Yuan described.
According to common sense, whether it is military production or industrial construction, it is impossible to reach this level based on the basic conditions of the base area.
Yes, impossible.
It's not that Li Qiang is belittling himself and belittling the base area, but this is the reality.
Theoretical technology, cutting-edge talents, skilled workers, and core key machinery and equipment are all weaknesses or even blanks in the base area.
"Yes, the chief informed me that the relevant data on industrial construction and military production are all in this document. I am not lying." Lu Yuan responded affirmatively.
"call……"
When Li Qiang heard this, he took a deep breath, his face was solemn, and his eyes were solemn. He opened the document with top secret printed on the surface, and a string of words came into view.
This is a statistical document that includes all information within the Military Industry Bureau, involving a series of comprehensive data such as personnel establishment, industrial construction, and military production.
Li Qiang browsed carefully, and the more he read, the more shocked he became. A wave of panic arose in his heart involuntarily. If Lu Yuan's dictation only made him feel incredible, then these scientific statistics shocked him. He fully understood the military industry bureau's The true situation.
Speaking of military production data alone, as of August 14, the monthly output data of Liushugou Arsenal increased to 160,000 rounds of 792 rifle ammunition, 95,000 imitation M24 wooden handle grenades, and 12 conventional loose-fire cast iron mines. Ten thousand pieces, including 25,000 60mm mortar shells of the 1937 type, 1,600 82mm mortar shells of the 1937 type, 900 60 mortars of the 1937 type, and 300 official rifles...
Note: Monthly production statistics are based on thirty days.
Groups of data entered his pupils, and Li Qiang's eyes widened, becoming more rapid and heavy.
In terms of the current military industry bureau's real military industry level, it has reached more than 70% of the level of the Guantian Arsenal period. The ten Guantian Arsenals put together are not even qualified to carry shoes to the Liushugou Arsenal.
The imaginary military industry bureau: reaching 70% of the level of the Guantian Arsenal period. Its level is repairing rifles and firearms, and producing simple landmines and black powder grenades.
The real military industry bureau: realizes the production and manufacturing of light weapons, the monthly output of weapons and ammunition is orders of magnitude ahead of the Guantian Arsenal, and the monthly output of mortars achieves a record of 900:0.
Look at how terrifying these arms production data are. Not to mention weapons such as grenades and landmines, which are easier to produce with lower working hours, the output of high-tech weapons such as 60 mortars alone is as high as 900 per month.
unimaginable.
It's really unimaginable.
In the Soviet Union, the monthly output of nine hundred 60 mortars was insignificant, but for China, which has a weak industry, this is an astronomical figure that is out of reach.
But now, the base has done it.
Li Qiangzai carefully read the military production data and moved his eyes to the field of industrial construction. The output of military weapons and equipment was determined by industry. He wanted to know what the real industrial level of the Military Industry Bureau was.
As groups of production data about various types of factories came into view, Li Qiang was once again shocked and shocked. A sulfuric acid plant with an annual output of 8,000 tons, a cement plant with an annual output of 50,000 tons, a 1,000-ton safety Cypriot Explosives Factory...
Wait, what did you see? !
A steel plant with a designed annual output of 35,000 tons? !
Li Qiang's pupils suddenly shrank, and deep inside, he was filled with horror.
