While he was assembling, he calculated the time for himself. Obviously, each factory provided more small parts, especially the large number of rivets. They considered the damage rate during assembly.
The number of large stamping parts is not too much or too little, just enough to install ten guns, which is enough.
After calculation, it only takes about ten minutes to assemble the parts. Loading the spring on the trigger is a step that must be done carefully, so it takes a lot of time. But overall, it takes ten minutes to complete the assembly of a gun.
, the efficiency is already very high!
The crucial riveting does not take much time.
"An excellent worker can assemble at the highest efficiency and can assemble seven to eight pieces in one hour. If we adopt assembly line operations, the efficiency can be further improved. Anyway, this thing uses almost no wood. In the end, my future 834 and 835 factories will be able to
Let’s produce it on a large scale! Hey, a large number of stamped parts can save resources.”
Since the work at hand was finished, Yang Mingzhi watched Andlovna finish riveting the last gun. Her capable and heroic appearance was really beautiful. She must have completed the riveting of nine guns in a row. She was already very skilled at this job.
.
"Ah, Comrade General, the last rivet has been riveted. Are we...our work finished for now?"
After that, the woman stood up, holding the rifle body without the gas system and magazine in her arms.
There was a slight smile on the woman's face, and Yang Mingzhi could see that after some cooperation, she was much less afraid of him.
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Yes, the assembly work can come to an end. Our work is not over yet. Only when all the parts are in place can we complete the task."
The woman looked at the thing in her hand again. The top of it was indeed incomplete, but the shape of the rifle was already very obvious.
She put the firearm on the table, and the large square table now had the guns neatly stacked.
Then, she said softly: "General, I think my work has been completed. Should I return to work? The factory gave me the task for today, and I still have to complete it."
There was another hint of eagerness on the woman's face. Was she really impatient to finish her work, or did she want to get out of this room as soon as possible?
"You don't have to be so anxious. Besides, you don't have to be anxious today because you won't have to produce submachine guns in the future."
"What?" The woman was at a loss.
Yang Mingzhi knocked on the table: "Don't be nervous, just sit down. Take a look at the results of our labor this afternoon. Dear Comrade Andlovna, as my temporary assistant, you have completed the task very well. Your work
The ability surprises me, so let’s talk about something else.”
"Ah? We..." Andlovna's mind didn't understand what the general meant for a moment. Since he was a general, a wise man would do well to obey his orders.
Yang Mingzhi consciously felt that it was very necessary to learn other things through this woman, not to mention that the factory director Nikolaevsky was not here, so this woman would definitely answer the questions seriously and honestly.
In fact, the problem is nothing special, it is nothing more than the workers' remuneration and food situation.
After all, Yang Mingzhi is about to manage two factories at the same time. He can appoint two factory directors to lead the team. He has the obligation to know the specific conditions of the factory.
If arsenal workers are fighting on the production front, their food and drink expenses are a logistical issue. If the workers' lives are bad, it is unrealistic to expect the factory to operate stably.
"Comrade, please tell me now, how much is your salary for one month's work? How much food do you eat every day? What are your accommodation conditions like?"
"Yes!" Andlovna didn't expect the general to ask this. They are very pointed questions!
She first agreed to answer, then hesitated briefly. After making sure that the wooden door was closed tightly, she stuck her head and said: "I have two hundred rubles a month. I live in the unified dormitory. It is always warm there, which is what we get for a day."
The food situation is a bit bad.”
“Should dormitories be centrally heated?”
"Yes."
"Is the food problem serious? You don't have to worry about anything. I just want to know the real situation."
Andlovna could feel that the general's questions were very loyal, not to mention the serious problem of eating, which had long made her full of complaints.
"Report to Comrade General! I...I eat two kilograms of potatoes every day."
"What? How many potatoes are you talking about?"
"Report, it's two kilograms."
Yang Mingzhi was sure that she heard correctly. It was indeed the case. Her food situation was also terrible. Not only that, her salary standard was also very low.
It is true that the peacetime economic situation in Siberia is far worse than that in Moscow, and it is normal for workers here to have low incomes. Her monthly salary of two hundred rubles has obviously increased, but compared to the price of food, it is terrible! One kilogram of rye, Moscow
It sells for one hundred and fifty rubles, and the situation in Novosibirsk is probably the same.
In this regard, Yang Mingzhi had to look at this woman with concern. She must be still hungry.
Of course, women who love beauty deliberately starve themselves in order to achieve plasticity, but that is active starvation, completely unlike today, where workers are passively starving.
"Is it enough to eat? Your workload is obviously very heavy!" Yang Mingzhi asked.
"Oh, how can I eat it?" Andlovna smiled helplessly, "I'm pretty good. Some elderly people in the city can no longer work because they are too old. They can only receive one kilogram of potatoes a day, or
It's three hundred grams of bread. The whole country is starving now, and this year's autumn grain harvest is about to be harvested. I hope things will get better. I'm not asking too much. I think I can improve my work efficiency by eating three kilograms of potatoes a day.
improve."
Is this all she pursues? Yang Mingzhi was filled with sighs.
"Hey, you are obviously a technical expert, why won't the factory director increase your food ration?"
"The ration has been increased. It turns out that I only have less than two kilograms of food a day."
"Oh, I simply misjudged the lower limit. No wonder you are so thin. I admit that you are a technical expert, but in Factory 830, you have been working in a semi-starved state. This is wrong."
"What can I do? The grain rations given to our factory by our superiors are constant, and the money I have in hand is used to buy high-priced grains only once a month. I really miss the days before the war broke out. At that time, I never
I’ve never been hungry.”
Looking at this young woman, she is only nineteen years old this year, but one year older than her wife. If you look carefully, her face is sallow, and her skin has become rougher due to malnutrition. If chronic hunger is allowed to continue,
Suffering from pellagra, no, her skin is already a little bad now.
She was already in a sub-healthy state, and the only root cause was chronic hunger.
Chronic hunger will not kill a person immediately, but it will slowly destroy the person's body. If things go on like this, it will be difficult for a person to live to the age of forty, or he will become very old at the age of thirty.
Even if she is a technical expert, the situation of others in the factory is probably even worse.
"Well, I really sympathize with your situation. You should have the most basic understanding of me. I led the development of a huge army and a large guerrilla zone in the southern swamps of Belarus. Our superiors gave us almost no assistance, but we
Surrounded by the enemy, an armed force of up to 60,000 people was formed. I established an arsenal in the swamp, so I have always had sufficient experience in arsenal management."
Andlovna widened her big blue eyes. She was very happy for the general to tell his story, and these were details that "Pravda" did not have space to describe.
"If workers are hungry, the rate of defective weapons produced will increase significantly. So I set a standard of five kilograms of potatoes per person per day for workers. This is the ration for both male and female workers. For those with outstanding technical ability, the ration is
It will be further improved, and there will even be canned meat as a reward.
Although our conditions are very bad, the workers can still eat bread once a week. In addition, everyone has mushroom soup, fish soup, and even grilled fish every day.”
Yang Mingzhi's remarks actually made the woman burst into laughter inadvertently, and her surprise was written in her eyes.
It was obvious that she was envious.
Yang Mingzhi continued to pursue the victory: "This is all as it should be. The heavier the physical labor, the more food is needed. I think I have made some achievements in organizing production, so my guerrilla zone has a very abundant food supply. Even if we are surrounded by the enemy, we
We are also persisting in farming. Just last month, I organized everyone to carry out a large-scale fishing operation. We also actively carried out land exploration and successfully discovered salt mines. Because of these actions, I received a major award from Comrade Stalin.
award."
It seemed to Androvna that the general had so many legendary experiences.
When she came into contact with the general, she could not tell that he was a person who liked to put on airs, but instead felt that he was approachable and comfortable.
When building a factory in a guerrilla zone, the situation there must be very bad. But the workers there can actually eat five kilograms of potatoes a day. Is it possible to go hungry? Absolutely impossible!
Andlovna made a rare joke: "You have paid so much for the alliance, so Comrade Leader transferred you to remote Novosibirsk."
"Ah? Hey...hehe. Do you feel like I've been exiled?" Yang Mingzhi smiled, "I'm very happy that you can actually joke. Look at the firearms on the table. This is what I went to Novosibirsk.
Reason. I was ordered to develop new weapons in this safe place. I will develop many types of weapons. I will achieve new successes and get the third Gold Star Medal, as well as more types of medals. Even build a medal with medals.
A bulletproof armor."
Yang Mingzhi's words amused Andlovna. After a few words, her inner grudge almost disappeared. At least at this moment, it was very pleasant to cooperate with the legendary general, and it seemed that she was not hungry anymore.
"When the troops withdrew to the swamp, I was the highest-ranking soldier among the remaining soldiers, and thus became everyone's leader. We insisted on fighting guerrillas in the swamp, and from the beginning I paid great attention to the food issue. A year later, the guerrilla zone in the swamp
Already producing potatoes, dried fish and salt. Even if I am no longer in charge, my comrades will continue to develop according to my established strategy.
When I arrived in Novosibirsk, I wanted to carry out another undertaking, for which I needed a large number of new comrades-in-arms.
Comrade Andlovna, I solemnly invite you to work in my factory. What do you think?"
"Ah?" Just now, they were still talking about themselves. Andlovna didn't listen much because she was shy. She seemed to be vaguely talking about her going to a new workplace.
"How about it? I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that you won't be hungry again. No matter what, I will at least ensure that the food rations for my workers are enough to fill their stomachs."
This was like a fragrant olive branch. The woman was at a loss for a while, but Yang Mingzhi took it for granted that she was hesitating.
Yang Mingzhi continued: "Go to my factory and I will improve your salary. I need a lot of technical experts and I recognize your ability. You must understand that you are facing a major personal life opportunity!
Let me tell you another thing. I have at least a thousand female workers in my arsenal in the swamp, and another 6,000 female guerrillas. Many of them have won the Patriotic War Medal. So I do not never discriminate against women, and I even think that in
In the current war period, women's rights must be greatly improved. I also believe that you can do better. I can promote you as a manager or engage in your own job of assembling firearms.
How about it? This is a great opportunity in your life. Once you grasp it, your future will be brilliant."
In fact, Andlovna was already tempted, but she still had some concerns.
"But, as for the factory director."
"Nikolaevsky? He has already agreed. You don't have to worry about this at all. You just need to answer me whether you are willing to work in my factory."
"I do!" Andlovna said solemnly, no longer having any doubts.
"Smart choice. Now I appoint you as the director of the assembly workshop of the 835 factory. Take a look at the new firearms in front of you. From now on, you will lead a group of workers to assemble them full-time."
At this point, tears were already filling the corners of young Andlovna's eyes, and her pleased smile was even more comforting.
One of Yang Mingzhi's goals was achieved. In any case, this woman already has experience in assembling assault rifles. Even if such a person has limited experience, she is an excellent skilled worker. It is natural for such a person to be a department leader.
"Okay, you will be my subordinate from now on. But now my 835 factory is still under construction. You will continue to work in this factory for a while in the future. As for your food problem, I will send someone to bring you some bread every day.
piece."
"Ah! Thank you so much! Comrade General, I! I will always follow you."
Her words of "I will always follow you" were so loud that Grishenko, who was standing guard at the door, suddenly opened the door, intending to protect the general.
"Hey! Grishenko, what are you doing here? Keep on guard!" Yang Mingzhi scolded.
"General, I'm worried about you..."
"My safety? Or are you worried that I will be hurt by this woman? What an idiot. Look at your performance, you have already scared our Comrade Andlovna."
But Grishenko was already here, and Yang Mingzhi changed the subject: "Forget it, Grishenko, come to me."
"As commanded."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mingzhi suddenly picked up the semi-finished gun on the table, then grabbed the banana-shaped magazine and stuffed it into the gun chamber. Then, the folded butt of the gun was unfolded and pressed against his shoulder. Yang Mingzhi arched his back and held it with his left hand.
Holding the front wooden butt of the gun, pull the charging handle with your right hand and quickly hold the gun handle.
The black hole of the gun was aimed directly at Grishenko. From the general's eyes, Grishenko could feel the terrible murderous intent. He instinctively felt that if there were bullets in the magazine, the general was pulling the trigger, even
There is no time to escape or fight back, and his life is over.
Then, Yang Mingzhi suddenly raised the muzzle of the gun and gently pulled the trigger. With a snap, the farce ended.
"Oh General, you scared me."
Grishenko, who seemed to have saved his life, breathed a sigh of relief. The general's action of holding a gun just now was still fresh in his memory. Sure enough, this is the style that a general who grew up from an ordinary soldier should have.
But I always feel like something is wrong.
Grischenko couldn't help but ask: "General, it seems that you are very familiar with it, as if you have used this gun before."
"Oh? Really?" Yang Mingzhi was not stupid. After all, his guards were sent by Lubyanka. He said casually: "After all, it is a rifle. I have rich experience in using firearms. I have even used anti-tank guns.
, Haha, you’d better not know that feeling of your shoulders being shattered.”
