In just three weeks, the Pripyat Arms Design Bureau has completely changed.
When Yang Mingzhi faced all the designers, both men and women, he couldn't help but sigh. He had more than 40 direct subordinates. With so many people, would a huge office seem crowded?
Considering that the office was relatively empty before, the situation might not be that bad.
Standing outdoors, Yang Mingzhi inspected all the designers who were lined up. Men gathered together, women gathered together, and their clothes were very uniform. Even women now wear men's clothes.
Yang Mingzhi looked at them. All of them were wearing the army's standard cotton-padded clothes. It was cold outside after all, and everyone was also wearing the standard ear-protecting cotton hats. If it weren't for the fact that those women generally had their braids hanging down behind their backs, Yang Mingzhi would have been really bad at just a glance.
Identify gender.
Yang Mingzhi nodded deeply, then his eyes were blazing.
He inspected his subordinates completely like a general and said with satisfaction: "Your number has increased! New comrades, I believe you are all the best. I am Director Belekov and I am also a soldier. The new
Comrades who are here, many of you know me from the newspapers, and now you have met me.
I care deeply about your talents, and I don't care about your gender at all.
Comrades, now that I am back, old comrades may know what this means!
Yes, in Moscow and on the journey back, I came up with some wonderful ideas, and I also got orders from Comrade Stalin himself! I got a special mission, which is to try my best to design more cutting-edge weapons. I already have
Some plans.
Today I saw that you are still maintaining high morale in the dusk and cold, and I am very pleased. Now let’s go back to the office and we will officially have a meeting!”
Those young female designers graduated in the summer, and after receiving some training, they were assigned to the Pripyat Arms Design Bureau.
For them, jobs are assigned by the state and they have no right to choose independently.
Although they are not free in this regard, they are not angry about anything.
When Yang Mingzhi was talking casually, he naturally noticed the Lenin Communist Youth League badges on the cotton-padded clothes of the young girls. Being able to join that organization fully demonstrated their loyalty to the Soviet Union and their willingness to accept the organizational arrangements.
In fact, they are very satisfied with the arrangements made by their superiors.
Times have changed. Once upon a time, Russian craftsmen were all men, but now many women are interested in joining this line of work.
They are college graduates, each with a bachelor's degree in a major such as mechanics.
Even before the war, the Soviet Union needed a large number of skilled workers. Many young people entered the state-owned factories to work in the seventh grade. They learned manufacturing knowledge in the factories, received wages that were enough to support themselves and their parents, and were quite good.
living conditions. Many people are willing to give up qualifications for further education in order to make money as quickly as possible in the factory.
I'm afraid that's the so-called limitation of vision. If some people continue to study hard and complete the tenth grade, and then enter the factory to work in this capacity, the salary will be higher.
However, a large number of Russian families who have been poor all their lives strongly support the Bolsheviks who are willing to stand up for their poor people, and they also eagerly hope that their children can earn money as soon as possible. In fact, in this time and space, although the Soviet Union strictly prohibited and cracked down on all types of child labor, the social
Public opinion is still quite tolerant of the old concept of "children should go to work and earn money as soon as possible".
After all, people are profit-seeking. If there is an opportunity to enter a state-owned factory and earn a stable salary, even a child of twelve or thirteen years old will be willing to fight for it.
Of course, families in the Soviet Union who were relatively well-off would work hard for their children to further their education.
They will not stop supporting their children in continuing their studies just because they are girls.
On the contrary, the Soviet authorities have always encouraged women to study scientific knowledge as fast as men, and the best among them can even become the front page of newspapers.
These female technicians obtained by the design bureau knew that they would be assigned to a certain weapons design bureau when they were studying, and later they also interned in the arsenal.
In the era of the war, they could not go to the front line of the war to shed their lives and blood for the great motherland like men. Instead, they stayed behind and developed better weapons for the warriors of the motherland. This was their simple contribution to the Soviet motherland.
The times will give them the opportunity to realize their self-worth, so how many of them really have lofty ambitions?
Yang Mingzhi felt that he needed to discover the best among the newcomers as soon as possible, set them as role models and entrust them with important responsibilities.
Yang Mingzhi, who returned, was always wearing a military uniform and a full set of medals. Not only to resist the cold wind in Siberia, he also wore a thick coat to temporarily cover up his glory.
He asked everyone to enter the huge office, and he was the last one to go in.
In the car on the way back, Yang Mingzhi heard Popov's introduction, saying that the number of people had increased, and the rules set before were still being implemented very well.
"They did abide by it well? Those newcomers, they also abide by it?"
It wasn't until Yang Mingzhi stood in the big office, looking at the neatly arranged desks, that he immediately confirmed Popov's honesty.
There are still so many rooms, but since the number of people has doubled, the additional tables and chairs have made the whole room look crowded.
The current crowding is acceptable, or the room layout has become compact.
Even so, a small space was left in the room, which is a small flat ground where the designers are standing.
All the designers were still lining up, and Yang Mingzhi took off his coat in front of them, unreservedly showing off his military uniform and the medal on his chest.
Wearing a general's military uniform and medals, Yang Mingzhi planned to use this aggressive military power to give his old and new subordinates a strong start.
He knew very well that when he used this move during training, all his subordinates would be in awe.
Not only that, who among the grassroots of the army has the most say? Apart from the grassroots officers, they are the soldiers who have won medals.
Medals represent military exploits and seniority. In traditional Russian society, the thousand-year-old feudal hierarchy cannot be completely eliminated just twenty years after the establishment of the Soviet Union, as if it had never appeared. It exists, and has been eliminated due to the great changes of the times.
The weakening is extremely weak, but it is integrated into people's living habits.
It is very common for soldiers to be in awe of even their squad leaders. Soldiers at the grassroots level who have not made meritorious deeds basically have no say. They follow the orders of their officers and accept the advice of their elders.
If a junior officer is killed in action, the one with the highest rank will take over as commander. If there are only a few soldiers of the same rank left, whoever has more medals will be awarded.
Yang Mingzhi's move convinced everyone. In the swamp, many officers who were much older than him admired him very much.
Little did they know that what he did today gave the new young female designers a huge shock.
How would you describe the current situation?
It is said that if Yang Mingzhi is an authentic Russian, then his current image is the idol of young girls.
After all, they are Russians, and their worship of heroes is simply engraved in their genes.
Young girls especially worship heroes and are full of yearning for love.
They had already known through many channels that their director was a senior military officer who had made great achievements, and the meeting today was indeed extraordinary.
Director Belekov, or General Belekov.
He has yellow skin and black hair and looks like a Tatar. For these Russian girls, who are generally from Siberia and the Far East, they often interact with the local Mongols, Yakuts or Yenisei in their lives.
, they didn’t feel any discomfort.
He looks really young, and everyone knows that the director is married.
They all came to Novosibirsk a week ago. In just a few days, they had to understand their future jobs. When they learned a special set of rules and regulations of the "Pripyat Weapons Design Bureau", they felt
It's special.
The system is set by the director himself. It seems that the director has particularly strict requirements for the hygiene and tidiness of the working environment. It seems that it is most appropriate to sprinkle some disinfectant water.
Many girls asked their male colleagues about anecdotes about the director, and the boys naturally introduced them with excitement, some of which were deliberately exaggerated.
None of them are married, and they know very well why the director must introduce a group of female designers. The director's hidden meaning made everyone extremely excited. Now that beautiful and talented girls have arrived as promised, the opportunity is right in front of them. Do they want to let them go?
Opportunity gone?!
As a result, Yang Mingzhi didn't know that he had some extra glory. It was just because his subordinates deliberately helped him brag in order to show off in front of girls.
Yang Mingzhi had just finished a long journey and was a little tired from the long journey. However, when he saw all his subordinates with bright eyes and enthusiastic faces, he felt particularly happy and his energy was recovering quickly.
An unexpected impromptu meeting must be convened unexpectedly.
All of them were already in their places, even Dobrov pulled the new Kalashnikov back to the team, Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands and immediately began to lecture.
Some loud slogans came out of his mouth. To be honest, these words were really just slogans. If you listen to these "political mobilizations" every day, your ears will be calloused.
Yang Mingzhi guessed that they needed such slogans as a "boost in arms." Little did he know that once upon a time Yang Mingzhi himself was disgusted with such pure slogans. Now that he is in such a key position, he has become what he once hated.
However, work requires some slogans to boost morale, as well as pan-politicized slogans with Soviet characteristics.
"Well, old comrades and new comrades, you all know that our work is for the victory of the Great Patriotic War for the great Soviet motherland. The alliance needs a large number of doers, and you are all doers. Our design
We are on another front in the Great Patriotic War, and we will be comrades in the trenches from now on!"
Suddenly, Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands and said, "Before that, young lesbians, I need to get to know you. I see that you are as full of fighting spirit as other gay men. I think you are all real talents. I must emphasize now , I want to give you a warning. Our Pripyat Arms Design Bureau specializes in producing new weapons. The design bureau needs talents, and absolutely does not want mediocrity.
Public opinion has some doubts about women's contribution to the Patriotic War. I am not a saint, and I am a little worried about these public opinions. Am I wrong? So you must fully demonstrate yourselves in future work to prove me. Worrying is a mistake.
You should try to be the first! For outstanding talents among you, whether male or female, I will entrust you with important responsibilities, and I will also recommend you to the Academy of Sciences.
Please work hard, I will not treat any talented person badly."
Perhaps among the things Yang Mingzhi said, only the last paragraph was the most important.
Because they are women, they are questioned by some people. Young female designers ask themselves that they have put in more effort when entering college and during their life and study in college. The results of their efforts are also very obvious. Their own comprehensive The quality is also better than that of boys of the same period.
Why fight like this? Just to prove to the doubters how stupid their doubts are.
Yang Mingzhi's words had the effect of motivating the generals, and they did not feel any displeasure, just because the young director, with his row of medals, especially the two "big gold stars", still established an unattainable image. .
Yang Mingzhi still wears glasses all the time! Therefore, he gives these female designers a more elegant image.
He tried his best to scan his female generals with his eyes open. Even though it was the first time he met them, their beautiful images could give Yang Mingzhi an excellent impression.
After entering the house, they took off their cotton hats one after another, revealing their colorful braids.
Suddenly, a special girl caught Yang Mingzhi's attention.
She is really special!
What is special about her is definitely not her pretty face or graceful figure, or the physical beauty that women are proud of. She is not outstanding in these aspects.
The only thing that stands out about her is her red hair.
"There is actually a red-haired girl? How unique!"
Among the Nordic ethnic groups, some groups acquired the "red-haired" gene due to genetic mutations. More than a thousand years ago, some Nordic Vikings merged with the Slavs, and the red-haired gene also spread to the Slavic ethnic group. Subsequently, With the expansion of the Principality of Muscovy, some red-haired Russians also migrated to the Far East, and even to the more distant Kamchatka.
In the Soviet Union, "red hair" was rare, and people with "bright blond" hair were also rare. However, there were quite a few people with "orange-red" hair, and even more people had brown-yellow to black hair.
The technology of hair dyeing appeared as early as the 19th century, and the technology of dyeing hair pure white has also been realized.
Dyeing your hair is currently unthinkable in the Soviet Union. It was even classified as a "little bourgeois enjoyment" along with perming for a while. Therefore, Yang Mingzhi was able to determine that the red-haired girl's "rose red" braids were The most natural color.
She is so special, like a rose in the girls' team.
"Could it be that her name is Luskaya?"
Yang Mingzhi originally wanted to name a few people and listen to their reports in public, but now the candidates have been decided.
Yang Mingzhi looked at the red-haired girl and suddenly ordered: "Comrade with red hair, come out immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole team was in a commotion. The girl stepped out of the team gracefully, then stood up at attention.
