The victory on the first day was just the beginning.
At the end of the first night, the factory's production capacity was finally summarized. The production of the most critical assault rifle here successfully exceeded 300 units, with as many as 320 units.
The victory on the first day set a gratifying benchmark. Yang Mingzhi himself was very happy. Apart from thanking the workers for their efforts, he did not make any more demands.
The workers are working hard. It would be a shame if the future output per person is lower than the first day's data.
Because the directors of factories in both countries do use the production capacity on the first day as a measurement indicator.
Yang Mingzhi's own rule is that the proportion of overfulfilled targets is used as the standard for awarding prizes.
Workers desire more honors, and everyone also desires more food, even beef, which is valuable in peacetime.
Yang Mingzhi promised his workers that if they did well enough, they would indeed get beef.
He hopes that the production capacity of firearms will become larger and larger. The problem now is that the superiors have already brought a large amount of materials to the unloading point of the factory. It seems that the only factor related to production capacity is whether the workers are diligent or not. In this way, things will become simpler.
.
Everyone is naturally endowed with super endurance, and this endurance is often determined by personal willpower, which is why there is a phenomenon of death from overwork.
Yang Mingzhi heard some rumors that some workers imitated the heroic Stalkhanov and died of exhaustion at their jobs. After their death, they were rewarded by their units.
After all, Yang Mingzhi is not a devil. He needs his subordinates to live well and produce weapons for a long time.
It was already the evening of October 25th. Although it was evening, it was only half past one in the afternoon. Because it was the evening of Novosibirsk, the entire Soviet Union adopted Moscow time, which had changed the lives of people in various regions of this huge union.
It's quite weird.
However, the benefit of unified time is particularly important during wartime. Stalin in Moscow sends orders to various places, and there will be no delays at the local level due to time issues. It can be said that important local personnel must maintain a high degree of consistency in their work and rest habits with those in Moscow.
.
But time is moving forward towards the winter solstice, and eventually the days in Siberia will become particularly short.
It is inevitable that all workers work at night and in workshops that are brightly illuminated by artificial light sources.
It's not only cold outside but also covered with snow.
Under Yang Mingzhi's order, both factories used machinery and manpower to clear away the snow inside, and even the bottom layer of shaved ice was chiseled away, exposing the cement pavement.
The road between the factory and the continuation of the road is also clear, because Yang Mingzhi does not want the slippery road surface to cause accidents to transport vehicles.
He is now looking at the report card that the statistics department suddenly took out. Although he is happy in his heart, what he is most worried about is whether all the output can be transported safely.
The statistical list records the production results of six day shifts and five night shifts.
All the energy and capital consumption of Factories 834 and 835 come entirely from superiors. Naturally, some of the assets in the factory are completely owned by the state. Even the washbasins and cups for brushing teeth of the workers are also assets of the state.
In a peaceful era, such a situation may lead to the rigidity of the organization, but in the current era of brutal war, it is indeed very useful.
Therefore, Yang Mingzhi does not need to pay attention to how much materials the factory consumes. He and the workers only need to pay attention to production capacity.
It has to be said that in fact, the production cost of each gun of the assault rifle and its family of guns is actually lower than that of the Mosin Nagant.
Looking at the list, the most critical item is undoubtedly this one: a standard AB42 assault rifle with a wooden stock.
This will be a light weapon issued to grassroots infantry, and its status is exactly the same as the Mosin Nagant bolt-action rifle.
Day one: 320 sticks.
The next day: 360 pieces.
Day 3: 410 sticks.
Day 4: 430 sticks.
Day 5: 505 sticks.
Before lunch on the sixth day of the day shift: 130 sticks.
That is, nearly five and a half days have passed in a week, and the production capacity of the most basic assault rifles has reached more than 2,100 units, and there is a trend of further improvement.
In principle, Soviet factories should follow a six-day work week. Now it seems that this set of peacetime regulations must be changed.
Until now, German arsenal workers can still enjoy weekends, while their Soviet counterparts must take advantage of the enemy's leisure opportunities to produce weapons in order to win the war and survive.
Therefore, workers not only work two shifts, but also must work seven days a week.
Forced by the war to desperately squeeze the production capacity of the labor force, setting up the production capacity on the fifth day is a generally achievable result, so the production capacity can reach 3,500 units per week.
The erection workers worked harder, or the factory brought in more workers on this basis, and adjusted the ratio of primary processing and final assembly personnel to achieve the most efficient result. It is estimated that the weekly production capacity of 4,000 pieces will not be a problem.
An old subordinate serves as the division commander, and that is three 1942-standard reorganized divisions! In this way, at least 25,000 assault rifles must be collected before the war begins! At present, it is best to have as many firearms as possible.
Sitting in the station office of Factory 834, Yang Mingzhi was tapping Erlang's leg. His frown quickly changed.
Seeing the officer beaming with joy, the factory director Andreev stood close to him, licking his face eager for praise.
"Comrade Director, you have seen that our factory is still increasing production rapidly. Our production capacity of standard assault rifles on Friday has reached 500 units. I think this will continue to be the case in the future."
"Okay! Not only it, but other firearms production capacity is also expanding." Yang Mingzhi temporarily put the documents on the coffee table aside and breathed a sigh of relief, "I really admire the people of the Soviet Union, especially those women.
, they are all heroes."
"Yes, this way our factory can equip a battalion with a day's production capacity."
"Yes, a fully-equipped infantry battalion should have 600 people, but when implemented at the grassroots level, it often cannot be fully staffed. A battalion with 500 people is very good. Comrade Andreyev, there are still some who are still in the workshop
Comrade Antonov, I am very satisfied with your workers."
"Oh, thank you very much."
Seeing this middle-aged man nodding and bowing to his younger self, Yang Mingzhi believed that this man still hoped to get the honor within his reach.
Yang Mingzhi stood up and said bluntly: "Don't thank me, thank the workers. I only played a certain supervisory role here. The results of your work are indeed very good, but I have some worries."
"Worried?" Andreev's face showed a hint of suspicion: "Please tell me."
"According to my speculation, the two factories have the current production capacity because of the large number of workers. Judging from the statistical data and warehouse conditions, our production capacity data is indeed completely correct, and the statistics department did not conceal it.
The technical level of workers is indeed improving, but there is an upper limit to the amount of production capacity.
All the parts are gathered in the final assembly workshop. The director of the workshop is a talent I recruited from the submachine gun factory. She is a young female warrior full of fighting spirit. She is also equipped with the first assault rifle.
The number of workers in the assembly workshop is limited, and their technical capabilities should be the bottleneck at present.
If they produce 500 pieces in a single day, they shouldn't be able to significantly increase their production capacity. The way to increase their production capacity is probably to have more workers, and that's my business.
Comrade Andreyev!”
"arrive!"
Yang Mingzhi paused and said, "I learned that you issued a production target to the workers, and now the target has been raised to 400 pieces per day. Is this true?"
"Yes...there is such a thing."
"You are the setter of the target, and this is your power, but you have indeed raised the target. I don't know your attitude. Maybe you will further increase the target to 500 units per day. This is terrible, I'm afraid it will dampen the enthusiasm of workers, who will face huge mental pressure, make many mistakes in order to work quickly, and consume more energy."
"No!" Andreev puffed up his arrogant chest and said confidently: "I have great confidence in them! Their husbands or brothers are fighting on the front line. They are citizens with a high degree of consciousness and know that they are in the rear. Working hard is helping our compatriots on the front line."
Yang Mingzhi listened and shook his head with a sullen mouth: "They are indeed full of fighting spirit, but they cannot hide the fact that working hard will damage their bodies. What I want are workers who can work for a long time, not workers who get tired after working for a month or two. A tool man born with a disease. Moreover, do you think the prizes I set up for workers for exceeding the quota are just simple prizes, and they really only have the sole purpose of motivating them to work hard?"
"Huh? Is there any other purpose?"
"Of course!" Yang Mingzhi suddenly increased his voice: "Workers are working very hard! If a worker is tired and faints at work, I will not feel relieved at all. I will worry that the loss of a labor force will cause damage to production capacity, and it will also cause other problems. Workers' concerns.
The prizes for those who overachieve are all food, especially those who overachieve a huge proportion will definitely get beef. Because these prizes are nutritional supplements for the workers. Especially the workers in the assembly workshop, the girls have the heaviest work In my opinion, if they assemble more than 500 pieces every day, they should be given beef."
As he spoke, Yang Mingzhi slapped his forehead: "You don't have to worry about the beef, and don't think about saving me some prize food. Whether it's day shift or night shift, the task standard for production capacity is set at 200, and the standard for machine guns in the shift It’s down to thirty, and we’ll stick to this standard for the time being.”
"Okay, since you insist."
Yang Mingzhi nodded, looked at his watch, and said: "I have plenty of time now. I want to go to the city and personally solve the workers' beef and potato problems. Don't worry about anything, you can do it right away." Find Antonov and convey my message. Then you two announce the factory's temporary production capacity task standards to the workers, and you tell everyone that I will try to get everyone to start eating beef tomorrow."
After that, Yang Mingzhi put the statistics sheet into his pocket, and then made another call to the assembly workshop of the 834 factory, ordering the guard Grischenko who was helping to move the parts to run to the factory director's office immediately.
After a while, Grishenko, still wearing a work cloth apron, ran on the runway.
"Sir, please call me."
"Ah! I called you. Now change out of your work clothes, put on your uniform, and drive me to the governor's office."
"Okay! I'll go to the garage right now."
Yang Mingzhi nodded, then looked sideways at the phone and muttered: "How about I call Umov first."
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi was full of confidence. He brought a piece of good news as a meeting gift and went to talk to Umov about potatoes and beef. He would definitely not be rejected!
He determined that even though the Soviet Union was currently short of food and supplies, Moscow had given Factory 834 and Factory 835, and even Novosibirsk, a special order to desperately produce new weapons, and also set a death order. If it could not be completed, the result would naturally be
arrest.
The production capacity requirement is to produce 30,000 units before December. Those who are below will be punished, and those who are above will be rewarded.
Yang Mingzhi didn't know how much pressure Umov was under, but he visited with the good news that the two factories could produce up to 4,000 pieces per week. Even if Umov was under pressure, it should disappear!
