It was said that they were drinking, but it turned out to be the most tearful "pre-war mobilization".
The entire office was in a state of mental madness. Even Grishenko and others in charge of the escort were trembling with excitement when they heard the general's bold words.
Popov was so moved that he almost cried. He did not applaud or shout "Ula", but tried hard to suppress his trembling body and moved closer to the general. He put his head to Yang Mingzhi's ear and asked cautiously: "General, are you
Do you have a perfect plan?"
"Of course." Yang Mingzhi replied simply, and then turned to the crowd and turned up the volume: "Comrades, be silent! Just now Comrade Popov asked me if I had approved a new research and development plan. Some people may think that my words are too slogan-like.
It's even a bit empty. This is wrong! I have already formulated a new R&D plan. Since it is getting late, the promulgation of the new plan will be postponed to tomorrow. However, I can tell you a little bit. The so-called new plan is to create new models.
Light weapons. I am sure that in future wars, this new type of light weapons will become standard equipment for every soldier. If our research and development is strong enough, the new weapons will probably begin to be equipped with the army next year. We will become a pioneer in this area.
In this respect, we will surpass the United States and become number one in the world."
Yang Mingzhi deliberately kept some secrets to give everyone enough time to guess what the new light weapons that can bring changes to warfare are.
The big words and ambitions should be stopped in moderation. Now, the most important thing is for everyone in the design bureau to raise a toast to celebrate.
After drinking some more wine, Yang Mingzhi became more energetic.
Vodka and Coca-Cola are mixed together, adding a touch of mellow sweetness to the hot taste. Some people even think that dry red wine is like this, which caused a burst of laughter.
Everyone drank a glass of wine, which was a "prologue".
"Comrades, you have all drank. Wait a moment and I will give you a new gift."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone responded with strong expectations. The director led his guards out again. While everyone discussed for a while, two wooden boxes were moved into the house.
"Comrades, although it is cold in Siberia, daily skin cleaning is still important. I don't know how many hygiene products the Academy of Sciences has provided us, at least I brought a lot from Moscow. These two boxes are filled with soap and precious
Toothpaste. I hope each of you has a toothbrush in your hand."
Isn't this a wonderful gift? Popov's eyes widened in surprise, and he motioned for everyone to pry open the wooden box. The moment the wooden box was opened, the inherent stench of earthen soap filled the air, but for
Generally speaking, this special odor is at least more acceptable than body odor and sweat odor.
The gifts were distributed quickly. Each person in the design bureau had a piece of earthen soap, and toothpaste was shared.
Yang Mingzhi felt that he had met everyone today. It was a long and fulfilling day, and it was time to take a rest.
But he couldn't rest yet. When Liguschkov hurried over to kill him and the two of them chatted for a while, the rest time, which was more precious than gold, would come.
"Comrades, it's already very late. It's already half past nine. It's still a long time before dawn. Don't be too busy and go to bed early."
Yang Mingzhi had good intentions, but unexpectedly, many people burst into laughter.
"What? What are you laughing at?!"
Popov hurried over and said, "Comrade Director, it's actually almost dawn."
"What? It's almost dawn?"
"Because of the time difference! Novosibirsk is a full three hours ahead of Moscow, but the entire alliance is using Moscow time. What you see now is half past nine in Moscow, and it is already half past twelve in Novosibirsk geographically."
Popov's statement really surprised Yang Mingzhi, who had not even thought about the time difference.
He suddenly realized: "Ah! No wonder I felt that it was already evening as soon as I got off the train."
"Yes! We were very confused when we first arrived here." Popov continued to explain, "We will completely adapt to it after two or three days. According to Moscow time, Novosibirsk may dawn at half past two tomorrow morning and wait until three o'clock sharp
Maybe the sun will rise."
"Three hours..." Yang Mingzhi looked at them again and suddenly came to a surprising conclusion, "So, it is actually equivalent to midnight now?! You are really crazy. Do you have to work all night today?"
The director's words seemed to be encouragement. Popov glanced at him, and everyone raised their chests and faced the director with absolute pride.
Popov expressed even more proudly: "We have a lot of data to integrate, and those data are very important to the country. If we work hard at the rear, we can complete new scientific research faster. It's okay for us to be tired, everything is for the country."
, we will do whatever it takes!”
"You... you all think so? Comrade Popov, you should say this to Comrade Stalin personally, he will definitely be very happy. But there are more than 10,000 scientific workers like you in the entire alliance!
No! There are more than thousands of people in this Academy of Sciences alone. Of course you work hard for the country and the people, but if you collapse from exhaustion, it will be a great loss to the country and the people.
Now I am the director. In the future, I will lead you to collect these materials. In order to prevent everyone from having a nervous breakdown, I order you all to sleep. I am the director! Execute my orders!"
Yang Mingzhi felt that his words were not serious enough, so he deliberately increased his voice: "Everyone stand at attention, heads held high and chests held high!"
"Very good, now I order all the designers of the Pripyat Arms Design Bureau to rest peacefully before 11 noon on September 13th, Moscow time. Tomorrow afternoon, I will systematically explain the work.
From now on, you must follow the schedule I set."
Therefore, ten o'clock in the morning is already equivalent to one o'clock in the afternoon geographically. Although it is very awkward, the so-called national game of chess, people here cannot do anything special, and only in this way can Moscow's decrees be firmly issued.
This avoids the awkward situation where the Kremlin issues a decree in the evening and a group of Novosibirsk officials have already gone home from get off work and gone to bed.
The director issued a new order. Continuing to work would be a mistake. After receiving this order, the disbanded designers packed up their tools one after another, and continued to throw aside the file boxes waiting to be opened.
Everything was the same as in the swamp. The backbones of the design bureau quickly cleaned their workbench without the supervision of the director. After tidying up their own workbench, they also brought brooms from the corner to clean the interior of the large office.
What they do is so comforting!
"Popov, it seems everyone has adapted to the new workplace!"
"Of course! Everyone is in a good mood. Now that we have a better working place, we naturally need to take better care of it."
"Very good. Housekeeping must be done well. I would like to emphasize one more point. Comrades who are addicted to smoking must go outdoors to smoke. Just like the swamp, smoking is prohibited indoors! Remember, smoking is not allowed in dormitories."
"This... dormitory is not good either."
"No. It is true that living conditions are much better now, and there may be more tobacco supplies. In order to avoid fires, all comrades smoke outdoors. Well, it seems that I have to revise the regulations that I made before."
For Yang Mingzhi, the weapons design bureau he had worked so hard to manage had a new office location, and there must be new regulations under the new atmosphere.
In his inherent concern, the reason why an excellent company is excellent must pay attention to organizational discipline in personnel management. However, overly strict disciplinary regulations often become a shackles for individuals.
Discipline must be enforced, and discipline must be humane. We must tap everyone's potential and ensure that no one is lazy and taking advantage of the situation.
Yang Mingzhi moved a wooden bench and supervised their cleaning. He was thinking about the new discipline while waiting for Liguschkov.
After a while, the person who was supposed to come finally arrived.
There was a siren of a car, and Liguschkov got out of the car. Suddenly, he saw many guards standing at the door of the design bureau's large office.
Who else has such a pomp? It must be the general.
He hurried to the office and shouted loudly: "Comrade General, I'm here!"
Yang Mingzhi had not seen this old guy for two weeks. When he saw him again, he saw that this guy had changed a lot.
He wears a forward hat on his head, wears a black woolen coat, and leather boots on his feet.
Yang Mingzhi focused on observing this man's face, and after studying it for more than ten seconds, he came to an important conclusion.
"Hey! Comrade Liguschkov, you can't do this! You must have eaten countless pieces of blood sausage and pieces of bread. If you continue like this, you will become a fat pig."
"Oh yeah? But the food here is so good, I even have cheese every day."
After saying that, Liguschkov stretched out his arms, and the two old friends hugged each other happily.
Then, the two sat face to face. The excited Liguschkov did not hesitate to put his hand into his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes: "Come on, Comrade General, look, these are the imported cigarettes I got."
.”
"Not bad, it seems to be an American product."
"You are really well-informed. Come on, smoke one, and let's have a good chat."
"You don't have to smoke cigarettes." Yang Mingzhi shrugged awkwardly, "I just gave the comrades in the design bureau a new rule. Smoking is prohibited indoors."
"Is it really so strict? Fortunately, I remember you gave the same order in the swamp. But my arsenal does not have such strict rules."
"Then make a new rule! I'm afraid that one of your men will be negligent and detonate the weapons being assembled due to smoking. In the end, I will lose you as an old friend in pain."
"Probably...probably not."
Yang Mingzhi looked into Liguschkov's eyes and realized that this person might be a little worried: "The possibility of danger must be reduced to zero. I really don't have the authority to give you orders. I am trying to persuade you as a friend now. You
You should quit smoking, and so should your subordinates. Not only to ensure that there are no fires in the workplace, but also because smoking is harmful to health."
Liguschkov smiled awkwardly. For him, he couldn't quit drinking, and he couldn't stop smoking.
How can I quit smoking? I have smoked low-quality tobacco for most of my life, and now I can finally smoke cigarettes without any scruples. The taste is like heaven. After smoking and working, I feel full of strength.
"Alas." Yang Mingzhi sighed slightly, "It seems that you need a woman to take care of your life."
"Woman? Ah, you don't have to worry about this. Next step they will bring my wife, so my life will be more comfortable."
"That's right! I heard that many men may find new loves after they become rich. I hate such people."
"You... you are worried about me." Liguschkov glanced at a field of star fruits sitting quietly, carried a stool and came directly in front of Yang Mingzhi, even closer to his ear, "General, your
My wife is here, will you say these words..."
"She? You know, I am a very principled person."
"Principle? Well, you have indeed experienced the test of women. You are indeed an excellent man who is very popular with women. If I were a woman, I'm afraid I would still fall in love with you."
"Are you kidding me?" Yang Mingzhi sat upright suddenly, thinking of some anecdotes that had happened before, he was really embarrassed.
"So you don't have to worry about me. There are indeed many young and beautiful girls in my factory. I can only take a look. I have a bigger pursuit now, which is to make weapons and gain honor! When my family comes, everything will
Everything will be better."
"I hope so! Everything will be fine."
What Liguschkov said is really thought-provoking. Yang Mingzhi never felt that he was destined for a woman, especially in that plane where he was about to become a "magician".
Is it because in today's turbulent war years, women have an instinct to survive and give priority to strong men as their husbands? This should be the reason. The more successful generals are in battle, the more favored they are.
The two of them didn't smoke, so they still had to drink some wine.
Liguschkov drank a glass of strong wine and twisted his neck fiercely: "What a good drink!"
"Of course, that is the wine specially provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"Really? Do you still have it?"
"Haha, you are really a stranger. I can give you a few bottles. We are comrades-in-arms after all. Everything is still the same as before. I am responsible for providing the drawings and your arsenal will manufacture it. This is the best."
"It's really good!" Liguschkov drank two more glasses of wine, and he drank half of a bottle of vodka alone. "Everything is really different. I can actually drink vodka from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Comrade General
,The situation in the arsenal is a little different now."
"Different? What's the difference?"
"Now that I've seen you, I'll tell you straight away if you don't mind that it's too late."
"You... stop dawdling and speak quickly!" Yang Mingzhi looked eager.
"There are many arsenals throughout Novosibirsk, each with its own mission. Perhaps you have heard of my factory. I am responsible for the production of rocket launchers. From Catfish rocket launchers to Feiyu rocket launchers, and even the Katyusha rocket launcher with the highest output in our country. But my factory
I am worried that I will not produce even one RPG, and I will not produce even one grenade. In the swamp, the arsenal produces a variety of ordnance, and I have to coordinate and supervise the production of black powder and sulfur. Now, steel plates, explosives
, propellant, etc., they are sent to my factory. I have only one task, which is to assemble these raw materials into rockets. That’s it.
Ah, my workload has actually been reduced. I can use all my experience to supervise and direct the production of rocket launchers! I received the order yesterday that my factory must allocate most of its production capacity to produce Feiyu rocket launchers. They also gave me
