"Brother, last time I said goodbye to Chahar, we haven't seen each other for almost two years. How are you?" At this time, Chief Su was entertaining his sworn brother at home, Zhang Zizhong, a famous anti-Japanese general in later generations.
"Haha, what's wrong with my brother? You eat well and sleep soundly. But Jianming, you are so great now. You have become a general. It seems that I will salute you next time we meet." Zhang Zizhong is still as usual.
Being so cheerful will not change due to changes in his status as a sworn brother.
After the press conference, Su Tong hurriedly invited Zhang Zizhong, who had just arrived, to his home as a guest. He smiled and said that he would ask his younger siblings to cook some side dishes to entertain his sworn brother.
In ancient times, Su Tong's approach meant that the relationship between the two parties could be passed down from generation to generation. Although it is not so strict in modern times, it also conveyed a meaning to the leaders of all parties present at the meeting.
This is my big brother, you guys can figure it out on your own
No matter what age he is, if his status reaches Su Tong's level, his every move will be studied under a magnifying glass, so Chief Su's actions give everyone a space for imagination.
At the wine table, Su Tong introduced the nurse, Xia Yuxin and Yu Liya to Zhang Zizhong. Zhang Zizhong was amazed when he saw it and praised: "These younger brothers and sisters are all good girls. Jianming, you have to treat them well."
"
"No problem, I will treat them well." Someone slapped his chest loudly.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Su Tong said to Zhang Zizhong with a bit of a tongue: "Brother, why don't you and my little brother go to Siberia to fight against the old man together? What's the point of staying in China all the time? As long as you nod, I will help you right away.
You change the equipment of your troops again. They are all world-class equipment. What do you think?"
Zhang Zizhong was a little moved when he heard this, but he thought for a while and shook his head: "No, Jianming, I am a soldier. Without the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, I cannot leave my post without authorization. Besides, if I am three
The Eighteenth Division is gone, who will keep the Tianjin people safe?"
Su Tong had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and sigh secretly, but this was the Zhang Zizhong he knew, the tough guy with strong bones.
"Okay, I won't force you, but if the elder brother has any difficulties, you must send a telegram to the younger brother. No matter whether you want supplies or troops, as long as the younger brother has it, the younger brother will accept it." Zhang Zizhong knew that Su Tong had been saying it to this day.
It was not easy for someone with his identity and status to make such a promise to himself. Zhang Zizhong was very grateful, but he just patted Su Tong on the shoulder and smiled without saying anything.
On the morning of the next day, Su Tong arranged for the chairman of the committee, the big shots, and some celebrities to visit the industrial zone in Pahar.
When they arrived at the industrial area, it was time for work. The chairman and the bosses who got off the car saw a scene they would never forget. There were busy people rushing on the wide streets.
Most of them were wearing uniform factory uniforms and walking quickly towards their respective factories. Along the way, there were one or several security guards standing at the entrance of each factory. The workers were lining up at the city gate holding a hard card in a
You have to swipe your card at a place called a punch card machine before you can enter the factory.
"Jianming, where are they at this time?" Zhang Zizhong, who was walking next to Su Tong, asked curiously. Among the crowds of people who were full of lieutenant generals and generals, he was the only one with a gold star on his shoulder.
It is the lowest, but there is no trace of color on its face.
"Haha, brother, this is called a card reader. It is a record of workers' working hours, and it is also a certificate for the factory to pay wages at the beginning of the month. If workers have objections to their wages, they can also use this record card to go to the labor union or negotiate with
My boss needs an explanation." Su Tong explained with a smile.
"Oh." Wang Qiang next to him asked curiously: "General Su, what are the wages and benefits of the workers?"
"The wages in factories here have mostly reached 30 to 40 yuan, which is higher than that in major cities such as Shanghai, Tianjin, and Wuhan."
"Is it serious that they work overtime?"
"Overtime work, sorry, there is almost no overtime work here." Su Tong said.
"How is it possible that capitalists like them are so kind and don't let workers work overtime?" A young man who looked like a secretary asked in surprise.
Seeing the people next to him staring at him fiercely, the young man realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly retracted his head.
"Actually, there is a reason for this. Our workers here all implement a three-shift system, which means that 24 hours a day is divided into three shifts, each shift lasts eight hours, and three workers take turns to work in each position. Young man
If you work here, don't even think about working overtime, otherwise the worker who comes to work from behind may beat you up because you have taken away his job." Su Tong gave the rash young man a faint look.
The reckless young man just now almost lowered his head to his crotch.
Everyone entered a factory, a garment factory at this time, and most of the workers working here were female workers. They were all nervously cutting clothes with sewing machines, but each of them only cut a few fixed pieces of cloth.
Put them all into a small bucket made of iron sheets and send them to the people behind, who will continue the next process.
"Huh?" At this time, a celebrity in the industry asked curiously: "General Su, please forgive my ignorance, why do the female workers here only do one process?"
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Zhao." Su Tong nodded at this person and said: "This is assembly line production. The assembly line originated from the Ford Motor Company in the United States in 1913. Its biggest advantage is that it can process every process.
They are all subdivided. For example, a piece of clothing generally has more than ten or twenty processes. We can maximize production efficiency by subdividing these processes into each person. For example, this group has twenty
Workers, if each of them sews a piece of clothing individually, each person can make at most one piece of clothing a day, but if it is broken down into processes, twenty of them can make hundreds or even thousands of pieces of clothing a day.
, labor efficiency has been greatly improved."
"Why is it so high?" At that time, assembly line operations had not been introduced to China, so everyone was surprised when they heard that there was such a high production efficiency. The working efficiency of Chahar's factory was so high that it could even beat the factory's working efficiency.
It has been improved by dozens or hundreds of times. If this efficiency is promoted on a large scale, how much contribution can it make to our country's industry.
The group visited several more factories, such as a canned food processing factory and two steel mills. Six months ago in Mongolia, members of the Chahar Government Geological Team found a large iron ore mine following the guidance of their magical Mr. Chairman.
, has now entered the formal mining stage, providing a steady stream of iron ore for Chahar's steelmaking plant.
After everyone had lunch at noon, everyone came to the military industrial area with great interest. However, the inspection and security here were much stricter than those in the industrial area in the morning. Everyone's weapons must be handed in uniformly. For safety reasons, cameras
You can't bring it inside either.
Everyone entered a small arms factory, which is a place specializing in the production of small arms. We saw workers here using various machines to process various parts, and then the people behind pushed the parts to the backstage. There were people behind the scenes.
They are assembled into rifles or machine guns, and the assembled rifles are sent to quality inspectors for careful inspection.
Li Zongren walked over and picked up an assembled rifle, pulled the bolt hard, and the rifle made a crisp sound.
"What a good gun." Li Zongren praised sincerely: "Jianming, this is your Thirty-seventh Army's standard Garand rifle, right?"
"Yes, Mr. De." Su Tong said with a smile: "The advantages of this rifle are its high shooting accuracy, fast rate of fire, strong firepower, and reliable performance. On the Siberian front, we relied on it to beat the Soviets.
I can’t find the north one.”
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"However, it also has a disadvantage, that is, it consumes too many bullets, which is several times that of a Mauser or a Type 38 rifle." Su Tong pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of the Garand rifle at the side.
"Jianming, what kind of machine gun is this?" Long Yun from Yunnan asked eagerly as he picked up a machine gun.
"Oh, Chairman Long likes this gun, it doesn't matter. When you leave, I will ask someone to send you a dozen of them."
"Oh, are you serious?" Long Yun asked happily. Who wouldn't be happy if he got a dozen machine guns for nothing?
Su Tong smiled and said, "Of course it's true, but there's something I want to tell you first. This gun is called the mg34 general-purpose machine gun. It's very easy to use. Its firepower is the most powerful among similar machine guns, but he
The ammunition consumption is also considerable, so you must be mentally prepared."
Long Yun felt a little unhappy when he heard this and asked: "Oh, everyone knows that machine guns consume bullets. Is this machine gun special?"
"It's very special. Please come with me." Su Tong took everyone to a shooting range at the back indifferently. Su Tong called a tester, picked up a bullet belt and said, "Everyone, take a look, this is a shooting range."
A belt of two hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition."
After speaking, Su Tong handed the bullet chain to the tester to load the machine gun and asked him to shoot out the bullets.
The tester loaded the ammunition chain on the machine gun, pulled the bolt, and pulled the trigger fiercely. "Kill, kill, kill!" a sound like tearing an oilcloth came out. In less than a few dozen seconds, a 250-round bullet was fired.
The chain is gone.
Everyone couldn't close their mouths when they saw it. This, this was too fast.
"How much ammunition does Jianming's gun consume per minute?" Long Yun felt a bit bitter in his mouth after looking at the firing speed of the machine gun.
"The theoretical rate of fire of this gun is 800 to 900 rounds per minute, and the actual rate of fire is about 500 rounds. In other words, each machine gun can fire 30,000 rounds of machine gun bullets per hour." Su Tong explained calmly.
"Thirty thousand rounds per hour for every round." Everyone behind the soldiers broke into a cold sweat when they heard this.
"My dear, just now Jianming you said you would give me a dozen machine guns. If a war breaks out, I won't have hundreds of thousands of bullets in one hour," Long Yun said speechlessly.
Su Tong spread his hands helplessly, "This is the price of pursuing firepower."
"Let's go, don't worry about this anymore." Long Yun waved his hands angrily. This feeling of being able to afford something but not being able to use it was too uncomfortable.
"Hehehehe" everyone laughed, but no one knew what the bosses were thinking.
After a while, everyone came to a large workshop, where people were coming and going. The first thing that caught people's eyes was the machine that was about ten meters high. When the big hammer in the middle was pressed down, the discus placed underneath looked like a piece of dough.
It seems to be squeezed into various shapes.
Everyone was amazed. Su Tong introduced: "This is our 5,000-ton free forging hydraulic press. It uses upper and lower forging anvils and simple tools for free forging. It is mainly used for single piece and small batch production. It can be used for free forging.
A small rapid forging hydraulic press was developed to carry out forging pressure equivalent to a 3050 kN forging hammer, which can forge more than 100 times per minute. Free forging hydraulic presses generally adopt a vertical upper transmission structure and have 3 working cylinders. After inputting high-pressure liquid,
Obtained work power ranging from level 3. The barrels of our artillery, the shells of artillery shells and other military equipment are all processed with him."
"Okay, okay." Everyone came to the side of the hydraulic press. Looking at this huge thing, they couldn't help but marvel.
Su Tong smiled when he saw everyone's excitement and said: "This is not the biggest, we have bigger ones here."
“What could be bigger?”
"What does it look like if my darling is bigger?"
"Please come with me, everyone." Su Tong led everyone to another workshop.
"Oh my God. This is so spectacular." As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Jiang exclaimed. What caught his eyes was a steel behemoth that was ten stories high.
The constant and slow movement squeezed the giant steel ingots into various shapes.
"Everyone, this is the pride of our Chahar, the 10,000-ton hydraulic press." Su Tong pointed at this steel giant and said proudly.
"This kind of hydraulic press is indispensable equipment for our national defense, shipbuilding, and heavy machinery manufacturing. Not even many Western countries have this kind of 10,000-ton hydraulic press." When they heard this, everyone's faces changed.
Everyone looked proud.
"Jianming, what is this hydraulic press forging now?" Zhang Zizhong asked curiously.
Su Tong smiled: "Now they are casting tank turrets."
"Why can you already build your own tanks?"
Su Tong's words set off huge waves in everyone's hearts. When the Central Company was importing artillery shells with a caliber of 75 and above, Chahar was actually manufacturing tanks by himself. What kind of concept was this? Doesn't this mean that Chahar is better than
Is the central government more powerful?
In fact, appropriately throwing out part of your strength to deter other forces is also a way to dissuade some people who have ill intentions towards you.
