The hug just given to Yang Mingzhi is really unforgettable. Commissioner Stalin and the more senior personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are usually described as rigid people who are infinitely loyal to the Soviet Communist Party and Stalin and even disown Stalin.
Putting the propaganda aside, they are still flesh and blood people! Yang Mingzhi deeply feels that this Salinchkin can be regarded as a good friend. No matter whether this person has other hidden meanings, he is resolutely trustworthy.
people.
Therefore, when facing this person, Yang Mingzhi no longer behaved seriously at all times. He was more natural. He was so excited about this fertilizer that he couldn't help but cross his legs and smoked cigarettes together with Stalin Commissioner.
Lunch was eaten in Sarinchkin's office. Because of the fertilizer issue, Mayor Lyudbarov also came to congratulate him after hearing about it.
After chatting for a while, there were only two people left in the office.
Salinchkin dusted off the cigarette ashes and said with a smile: "I ordered the city's propaganda machine to be turned on. The loudspeakers in each village are publicizing what happened in the sulfur mining area. Soon, all collective farms and military reclamation areas will use them.
Ammonia, this is an exciting event!"
Yang Mingzhi has always been in a good mood, but he was deeply hurt by this sentence. "Just a few tons of ammonia are promoted as long-term mass production of ammonia. Sometimes we have to stay humble, especially in this big industry related to food production."
question!"
"Am I making false propaganda?" Salinchkin asked rhetorically: "At least we can continue to produce ammonia. As long as workers are still digging peat, ammonia can be produced stably. You built the fertilizer plant yourself, is it true?
But you have lost confidence?"
"Of course not!" Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "But we can't be so absolute. Since there are 40,000 soldiers and civilians in Novgomel in front of the broadcast, everyone is looking forward to fertilizers, but there are also variables!"
"For example?"
The topic became serious, and Yang Mingzhi knocked on the table and said: "It's an air raid!"
"Yes! The only thing that can force the fertilizer plant to stop production is air strikes!" There was a smile on Salinchkin's lips. His performance made Yang Mingzhi completely commanded. This guy actually knew everything.
"So, our current air defense capability is close to zero. If enemy bombers fly over and drop a few bombs, our long-term efforts will be instantly reduced to zero."
Salinchkin spread his hands and said: "If this happens, there is nothing we can do. After all, we are still building factories in the occupied areas, and we have to face such risks. Therefore, the vast number of people living here are also
We know that everyone is at risk of being bombed all the time.
But these risks are no reason. In short, the people need something exciting, and fertilizer is just that. Furthermore, if the fertilizer plant is destroyed by enemy bombing, it will also arouse stronger hatred among the people!"
"So? No matter what, you have the ability to turn this into morale?" Yang Mingzhi asked with a wry smile.
"That's right, publicity work itself is one of my functions, even what I'm best at." After saying that, Salinchkin smiled slightly.
His smile made Yang Mingzhi a little unhappy. It was better not to cause trouble at the fertilizer plant, but the billowing smoke was always a big trouble. Once a German reconnaissance plane passed by, it would be known that the source of the smoke was an important target.
Sarinchkin no longer discussed the issue of air defense.
"Okay, Comrade Berekov, let's talk about what happened in the past few days! You must know that it actually took you two days to complete the construction of the fertilizer plant. No matter how you think about it, this is incredible efficiency."
Such a question made Yang Mingzhi's mind become more active again. He patted his chest and spoke as if he was bragging: "You mean efficiency? Nothing! We did complete the equipment construction within twenty-four hours!"
"What? Just one day?"
"Yes, it's just one day!" Yang Mingzhi confirmed again.
Salinchkin frowned and shook his head. "The speed is really too fast. You, a person who is accustomed to being humble, are not modest at this time. It only shows that what you said is the truth."
"Of course it's a fact!" Yang Mingzhi simply stood up, gesticulating with his hands, and described: "This is like assembling a firearm. A rifle is divided into multiple parts, and skilled soldiers can assemble the parts within tens of seconds.
As a whole, you can fill it with bullets and fire it! And what I mean is that we build fertilizer plants in the same way."
"Is it that simple? Of course I know that the team took away the equipment parts that had been prepared and just assembled them before putting them into production?"
"Yes!" Yang Mingzhi said very succinctly, his eyes widened without a trace of confusion, and he had no intention of lying at all.
Salinchkin couldn't help hugging his Mediterranean mind and exclaimed: "Even this is unbelievable. In your dictionary, by Berekov, was Rome really built in a day?"
"Isn't it? Me, Liguschkov, Ivanov and others, carefully calculated all the building materials for the construction of the factory. It was precisely because of the huge delay that the materials were prepared early.
The factory was completed and put into operation in just one day! But..." Yang Mingzhi paused, "At present, the factory is still very crude, and the concealment work has just begun. In the future, it will be able to hide black smoke like an arsenal."
"Well, you can't use ordinary logic to think about it. You have created too many military miracles. Now it is very reasonable to create a production miracle."
Seeing that this person wanted to ask other questions, Yang Mingzhi decisively emphasized: "The fertilizer plant incident is not my fault alone. Liguschkov and Ivanov are indispensable. Furthermore, everyone involved
Workers, they are all heroes and they all deserve to be rewarded."
Salin, who was taking notes, stopped and paused for a moment. He heard what the Chinese meant: "You are right, they are all heroes! So what? What should we reward them?"
"A medal! For example, the Order of the Red Banner!"
"The Order of the Red Flag? How is that possible!" Salinchkin said seriously: "Those people can get the medal, but it should not be the Order of the Red Flag! Only soldiers who have made meritorious service or participated in important battles and survived can get it. As for those labor heroes,
There is no doubt that they will receive the Order of the Red Banner of Labor."
"The two medals are just the perception of a word, and their nature is indeed completely different! Can we still strictly distinguish between military and civilians now?" Yang Mingzhi muttered in a low voice with his head raised.
Salinchkin heard his muttering clearly and continued: "Of course the military and civilians must be divided. In fact, only soldiers organized into regular troops are eligible to receive the Order of the Red Banner. This is a rule, unless those people leave the arsenal or chemical industry
Laboratory, but this is absolutely impossible!"
It is almost not a failure to claim credit for them. According to this commissioner, it is most appropriate for the workers to receive the Labor Medal.
…
In this way, Salinchkin continued to inquire about the details of the fertilizer plant. Over the past few days, Yang Mingzhi systematically reported to Salinchkin, and the secretarial staff also made first-hand records. These information will also be quickly sorted out.
Eventually, they will be sent to Moscow via telegraph. As for the rewards for the main people who completed the feat of establishing the fertilizer plant in difficult circumstances, it depends on the wishes of those figures at the top of the Soviet Communist Party, especially Stalin.
The questioning continued until three o'clock in the afternoon, and Salinchkin was still tireless. The questioning was not limited to the fertilizer plant, because there were sulfur mines, prisoner-of-war camps, and even comfortable hot springs in that area.
As for such miscellaneous things, Salinchkin pays more attention to the prisoner of war camps. The reason is very simple. The camp of more than 200 Germans is very close to the fertilizer factory. Their German nature will always be a threat. Since landing, he has not yet
He personally went to the prisoner-of-war camp. He never expected that the deputy division commander's personal inspection would reveal that prisoners of war could almost die from poisonous gas in the mines. Suddenly, his long-term worries disappeared!
Salinchkin has no other problems, and Yang Mingzhi's report is over, so he can just pat his ass and leave?
No! Salinchkin finally said: "You came back very timely. If you haven't come back yet, I will have to force you to come back for a meeting! All materials have been prepared, and a meeting on Novgomel's future road map will be held the day after tomorrow.
Expand the meeting. You Berekov, as one of the most important people in the construction and planning of Novgomel, the meeting cannot be held without you."
"Haha! It's really about to start?!" Yang Mingzhi's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Yes! I can see that you have been waiting for a long time!" Salinchkin's trembling eyes were not just looking at Yang Mingzhi, but more like looking at the future: "Comrade Berekov, I know that you have great expectations for Novgome
We all have our own opinions on the war behind enemy lines in the Soviet Union and the entire Soviet Union. Meetings are your opportunity to express yourself. I know that you are very good at unscripted speeches. I hope you will prepare the language and materials today and tomorrow and give a good speech at the meeting.
!”
"Yes!" Yang Mingzhi finally stood at attention, saluted the military salute, and left the office with excitement.
