At night, in the office of the director of Factory 834.
"Ah! Everything is like a loaded bullet, just waiting for the shooter to pull the trigger." Yang Mingzhi did not hide his excitement in front of several important officials.
Among those present, Andreev and Antonov were the two persons in charge of future firearms production, and they shouldered huge responsibilities.
"Yes, our production will get off to a wonderful start tomorrow." Andreev held up the goblet, his right hand trembling slightly with excitement, and the red wine in the glass also trembled with spray.
"Ah, my comrade, it seems that you are very nervous. Don't worry about anything. I have been inspecting for a whole day and I have great confidence in you."
"Then it's my honor." Andreev bowed slightly.
At this time, Antonov also echoed: "In this case, we can start work now. As you know, the workers are very motivated to produce."
"Yes! I have seen it all. If we start production earlier, we can indeed produce more firearms. But what I pursue is not just efficiency. The efficiency must be high. For this purpose, I will even be as barbaric as a capitalist. , to squeeze the value of the workers. What I need is efficient time to ensure the quality of the goods."
"Now, the motherland needs every one of her children to fulfill their duties. Even if the time except for eating and sleeping is due to childbirth, I think it is worth it." Andreev said with a smile, "Comrade Stakhanov He never said that his worth was exploited by his superiors. He loves his motherland and longs for a strong country and the happiness of its people. Regarding your conflict between the quality and efficiency of firearms, Comrade Antonov and I will focus on this. "
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Very good! Then for our career, cheers!"
This was a very simple dinner party. The main people were Yang Mingzhi and the two factory directors.
Yang Mingzhi's security guards and first-level factory managers were not present.
Since the mass production will start tomorrow, Yang Mingzhi has no intention of getting drunk on the eve of it, and everything is just done.
The three of them shared a bottle of red wine, but these two middle-aged men, who were accustomed to drinking vodka, did not know how to pretend to taste this bottle of red wine produced before the war and from the Caucasus region that was now divided by the war.
They drank it up quickly and happily. Under the influence of alcohol, Yang Mingzhi became more talkative.
He banged on the table and started shouting loudly: "A worker works twelve hours a day, divided into two shifts. This kind of intensity of processing is unbearable for the workers."
"No... you... you can't underestimate our workers. Although most of them are women, you would never imagine that many women can carry ten meters of wood for several kilometers! I have worked in a wood factory for a long time, and I am very Get to know them." Antonov explained drunkenly.
"That's fine, they'd better be like this." Yang Mingzhi sighed softly, "I admire such workers very much. These women are our heroes behind the scenes. We need to give them as many rewards as possible in difficult times! I think we They should also be encouraged to work overtime, as more work will lead to more rewards."
"Reward? Bonus?" Andreev asked.
"Some ruble banknotes? I don't like that. We want to give them more food rations. You don't have to worry about this. I will go to the governor Umov personally and ask him personally."
More food rations?!
The two factory directors were like rabbits, raising their heads suddenly when they noticed something unusual.
The two of them were a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a moment, they realized that this Berekov was unusual.
This person comes from Moscow and is a strange person who is paid close attention to by the leader. It is not easy for him to get some privileges. However, both of them attach great importance to personal integrity. They have their own bottom line of principles and will not do it for the so-called glory. If you are rich, you will do what you want and you will not fawn over a strong man, especially a man who is more than ten years younger than you.
Andreev was a little worried: "Would it be inappropriate for you to apply for greater cooperation? As you know, the state planning committee has already made plans for the various material quotas given to the factory and will not change them easily. "
"Bah!" Yang Mingzhi banged the table enthusiastically just because he was drunk. "Why do I care so much! My old subordinates are going to the battlefield, and I need a lot of new weapons. I want both output and quality. If the workers are Producing in hunger, nothing can be achieved. I just want more quotas, and I even want my workers to not become thin after several months of high-intensity work, but to become stronger. Alas, this thing You don’t have to worry about it, I must apply for more. I want the workers to have beef to eat.”
"This..." Andreev was very surprised, "If... if you can implement these, God knows how much productivity they can explode. In short, you will be satisfied. Maybe you don't know, they are easily satisfied. "
"Hmm? Just having enough food to satisfy you?!"
"Of course, because many people, they... they have not been hungry in recent years. But due to the hateful war, people in many places can only eat one potato a day, and everything has returned to the Tsarist era."
"I can't control that much. People can only work well when they are well fed. The news about those Pravda newspapers praising that they would rather go hungry than produce submachine guns is so ridiculous. I try not to let this happen to me. In the factory. There are two of you. The workers get more food rations, and so do you two. Think about the days of eating fried steak. Haha, at least I have applied for enough for the one hundred people in my design bureau. Beef rationing, believe me, it is no problem to apply for some beef for a thousand people.
Although they don’t necessarily all have fried beef, the soup the workers drink must contain beef cubes.”
It's already nine o'clock at night, and the outdoor climate is so cold that a cup of hot water can quickly turn into a pile of ice.
If you hold a basin of cold water and deliberately splash it outdoors, what will splash down will be pieces of broken ice.
Yang Mingzhi was not in the mood to play such "Northern Kingdom tricks".
He was very happy that his subordinates had arranged tomorrow's work in an orderly manner. During the day, he also met with the most critical workshop leaders.
Especially Androvna, the technical expert he poached.
Yang Mingzhi could not forget the excitement of that 19-year-old woman because a heavy burden was placed on her shoulders.
Dozens of people in the assembly workshop were all taking orders from Andlovna. She was under great pressure but also thought there were huge opportunities. She admired Yang Mingzhi, a young heroic general, and was even more eager to get greater life opportunities from the young general.
Other lower-level managers have the same attitude. They have even started to pre-process a large number of parts themselves, and eventually assemble them into new weapons.
This is a completely different feeling from producing traditional firearms such as Mosin Nagant and submachine guns, as if your achievements will allow soldiers to easily annihilate invaders.
They, the workers, are promoting the early arrival of victory.
In fact, if Yang Mingzhi informed all workers that various new weapons from Novosibirsk would be quickly put on the battlefield in more than a month, it would very likely lead to an unprecedented victory.
Their labor enthusiasm is very likely to reach unprecedented heights.
Because those young female workers, their husbands have been recruited. Those older female workers, their husbands and sons are on the front line!
But Yang Mingzhi was not so stupid as to tell the workers that the Soviet army would use Smolensk as the focus of its attack and fight a large-scale battle.
The mobilization of millions of troops may have been detected by German spies, and the German troops in the Vyazma Salient will be more vigilant. However, is a place like Novosibirsk really completely safe? In order to maintain absolute confidentiality, Yang Mingzhi chose to keep silent
.
Ke Ren always lets slip something, like when he was excited while drinking and revealed to two factory directors that the new weapon Jiang was about to put into large-scale operations.
He felt something was wrong. No, before he left the factory and went back to his home to sleep, he emphasized: "You should remember everything I said while drinking. If some words are said to outsiders, the result will be shooting."
Is it that serious?
Because of this warning, the two factory directors who bid farewell to Yang Mingzhi in a special car did not have any smiles on their faces, only their old faces that seemed to have been blown away by the sharp north wind like a knife.
In fact, in their minds, they only think about efficient production, high-quality products, and an absolutely safe and smooth process.
