Chapter 802 The construction of the fertilizer plant is imminent
Yang Mingzhi fully believed that the top brass of the Soviet army was already planning the second Battle of Kharkov.
This will be a major strategic counterattack with nearly one million troops and two front armies executing it simultaneously. This matter is still on paper, and due to military confidentiality, only the top brass of the Soviet army know about it.
The time for the counterattack is in mid-May. Today is April 13th, and there is still a full month before the counterattack.
This battle will be doomed to failure. The German army will push the front all the way to the Don River Basin, making Novgomel hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest Soviet army!
If I told everyone that there would be a war in a month, and the Soviet army would suffer catastrophic consequences again. Based on my so-called strategizing sand table deduction, I successfully predicted several failures of the Soviet army, maybe it would make everyone panic.
Furthermore, even if Salinchkin has airborne, speaking to him is a real act of seeking death! Stalin simply refuses to shed tears without seeing the coffin. Only Timoshenko has the ability to question him, even though he is a small character.
It's better to keep your tail between your legs and shut up.
The threat of war was hidden behind the peace. Everyone present at the meeting was very optimistic about the prospects of the fertilizer plant. In this regard, Yang Mingzhi was very eager. Compared to Ivanov's expectations, he directly knocked on the table and said: "These equipments
It will be shipped to its destination tomorrow! I hope the construction workers will start working tomorrow!”
Ivanov was shocked: "Sir! We have made a decision today and will start construction tomorrow. Is this too anxious?"
"Time waits for no one! The enemy will not rest!" Yang Mingzhi assumed the posture of a commander and said meaningfully: "Just now, our weapons design bureau has completed the main body of research and development of individual rockets.
The caliber is 107mm, so you can think of how much fuel this will consume!”
No one knows this issue better than Ivanov and his people. The planned range of that weapon is eight kilometers. It seems that the commander has completed the most critical part of the research and development.
If a rocket can fly so far, it cannot be loaded with only black powder. It must be mixed with ammonium nitrate, which is chemical fertilizer.
Ivanov understood what the officer meant, gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, there is no problem in starting the transportation tomorrow. On behalf of the laboratory, I fully support you."
"With your words, I feel relieved!" Yang Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "The next thing is that I go directly to the division headquarters, and I also have to go to the municipal committee to explain the matter to those people.
I don’t think anyone will think that I am acting too hastily, these equipment must be moved away tomorrow!”
Nowadays, Novgomel has some large-scale equipment. Small cranes manufactured by the arsenal can easily lift these equipment and install them on trucks. After all the parts are packed, they are also moved to the truck. Finally, the crane is dismantled.
Shipped to destination.
As for the assembly of the fertilizer plant equipment, just follow the drawings!
Everything seems so simple, are there any other difficulties?
At the end of the meeting, Yang Mingzhi called Liguschkov and gave him and Ivanov the final order: "You two, lead the comrades, start packing the equipment. Get the crane ready and do the work."
Prepare to be loaded and shipped tomorrow!”
…
Perhaps the leader's words may cause the people below him to run away and break their legs. The action is very sudden. For the future, Yang Mingzhi can only ask the people below him to work hard.
It was impossible for him to just leave the arsenal and go home to rest. After leaving the gate, the roar of the arsenal's machines became fainter, and he himself came to the division headquarters.
At this moment, Yevlov was reading a novel, and Yang Mingzhi squinted his eyes and read it.
"Hehe! In "War and Peace", the division commander is still very elegant."
Yang Mingzhi's sudden visit interrupted Yevlov's thoughts. He quickly pressed the bookmark, raised his head and asked: "What's going on? As the deputy division commander, you should also knock on the door. This is called the basic etiquette of an officer.
"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Yang Mingzhi smiled and moved a stool to sit down. He didn't have time to chat with the old man and directly talked about today's two results.
Yevlov was greatly surprised: "It's incredible! It's only taken two days. You are indeed a genius. The research and development of the rocket launcher has been basically completed? There is also the matter of the fertilizer plant. You tell me that it will be implemented tomorrow?"
"Of course! The rocket launcher is basically completed, and I'm afraid it will only take a few days to get off the production line. As for the fertilizer plant, it's getting late, so I think we still have to hold an emergency report meeting. I hope that the equipment will be transported away tomorrow, and construction will start tomorrow afternoon.
Fertilizer factory!”
"Isn't it a little too fast?" Yevlov asked without thinking.
"Hey! I knew you would ask this. I think Yelentina, Salinchkin and others would ask this, so I need to hold a report meeting!"
Yevlov felt deeply that the matter was important, so he quickly stood up, took the old man's arm and set off.
…
In this way, three senior officers from the 284th Division went straight to the Novgomel Municipal Committee, as if some major military situation had occurred, which made Salinchkin unreasonably worried, and the atmosphere in the municipal committee office suddenly became tense.
It wasn't until Yang Mingzhi personally explained his purpose that he was allowed to relax a little.
Then I thought about it, the fertilizer plant incident itself was a big deal!
Following the old Maozi's habit, Yang Mingzhi stopped being polite and directly found a stool and sat down, and the meeting was held simply.
He gave a brief report on the chemical fertilizers, but the final question came down to when to start the construction plan.
"Your plan is to take action tomorrow!? Isn't it a bit too hasty? The final acceptance of the equipment was only completed today!" Although there is no proverb about being too impatient to eat hot tofu, he said a Soviet one: "Cut it according to your own situation.
Tree."
Yang Mingzhi smiled: "Comrade Commissioner, maybe you really think that our strength is still limited, so the construction speed of the fertilizer plant is also very slow?"
Salinchkin did not say anything clearly, but his statement also confirmed this question.
Of course, at this time, we couldn't pretend to be cool and brazenly say that the fertilizer plant could be completed in a few days. Yang Mingzhi came prepared this time, and he also had the map drawn by Ivanov in his notebook.
The facts are before our eyes. This is a "construction road map". Salinchkin knows that because he is already a member of the municipal party committee, he must decide this matter by himself! They have already started studying the fertilizer plant, and the planner
It was this Berekov who was absolutely sure that he could do this well.
The location of the fertilizer plant is close to a prisoner-of-war camp, which may be a safety hazard. Salinchkin really has no more questions, only this makes him a little worried.
"Yes, it would be bad if the prisoners of war rioted and destroyed our fertilizer factory! But I don't think they will take risks. Now they have enough food to survive, and they will be treated if they get sick!" Yang Mingzhi explained, and then
It's Jelentina's main attack again.
Speaking of the prisoners of war, the woman looked unconcerned: "If there is a riot in the prisoner of war camp, it can only mean that there are problems with our management. They have committed violent incidents, so the current supervision is very strict."
This woman had ordered the massacre of prisoners, which was a stain on her. But Salinchkin believed that this was an extraordinary measure in extraordinary times. Now the German army in Novgomel treats prisoners of war with both kindness and power. Those guys work hard to dig sulfur mines.
The amount of digging is related to the grain obtained. These are strong German young people. At the moment when labor is scarce, we will not use them as slaves to drain them into skeletons.
No one knows Novgomel better than these people. What attitude should one adopt? Of course, support!
Not only did everyone present at the meeting have no objections to this matter, but they even complained that if it hadn’t rained, the fertilizer plant would have been put into operation. Faced with such public opinion, Salinchkin made the final decision: "It will be tomorrow! We will do it tomorrow.
action!"
With this person's complete consent, the fertilizer plant is really going to start construction. Yang Mingzhi's joy was written on his face, and he continued: "The next step is the details. We have to plan how many people will be arranged as construction workers, equipment
