Yang Mingzhi's words hit the point and made the battlefield meeting no longer look like a report meeting.
Regarding the current weaknesses of the guerrilla republic and Novgomel, one is that weapons production may not be able to meet larger-scale operations, and the other is that the people's food rations are highly dependent on potato harvests.
The experience Yang Mingzhi learned when he was a soldier in that plane is logically put here, that is, self-criticism and finding shortcomings.
The shortcomings of the guerrilla republic can only be found by those in power, and the cost of some omissions can be fatal.
Without thinking much, Liguschkov raised his hands and stood up.
"I think our fertilizer plant is still not concealed enough. Once the Germans send out bombers, it only takes one aerial bomb to destroy all our efforts. Rebuilding the fertilizer plant will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. And the most serious loss is
Once the fertilizer plant ceases production, the ammonia supply for agriculture will be gone, and the total amount of explosive raw materials supplied to the arsenal will also plummet!"
"Well! This is our important weakness!" Yang Mingzhi nodded deeply and ordered the clerks sitting on the right side of the conference room: "Please keep these key records."
Liguschkov quickly stirred up the atmosphere, giving people who had some opinions and were too embarrassed to stand up alone to raise them a reason to stand up.
Raslyutin from the Novgomel People's Hospital stood up and raised the issue of medicines and sanitary supplies. That is, a heavy rain caused a large number of diseases, but there was a real shortage of medicines.
"Comrades, disease is as much a threat to us as it is to the German army. After a heavy rain, the number of sick people in the hospital exceeded 500, and the number of patients with simple diseases was as high as 400! I believe there are still many people who are struggling to carry it.
Come report to the hospital!
According to instructions from superiors, drugs must be given priority to the army, especially antibiotic drugs, but these drugs are the best drugs for treating colds!
We must ensure that medicines are given priority to the sick and injured soldiers. As for people with colds and fevers, we can only use local methods. Fortunately, our military doctor Besica found a way to catch colds through food materials. After one night of experiments,
Almost all patients' conditions improved.
Comrade Besica's method is also very simple, that is, eating a lot of radishes. I never thought that radishes are also a medicinal material for treating colds. Since this is very effective, I suggest that the three collective farm village chiefs sitting here, I beg you, can
Increase the radish planting area!”
The eyes of everyone present, including Yang Mingzhi, brightened. Staying in Blacksmith Village with Yang Tao was not a simple cure.
Using radishes to treat colds seems normal to the Chinese, but it seems that Lao Maozi has not studied it carefully. Think about it, there is nothing wrong with it. As for eating vegetables, they prefer cabbage, carrots, etc.
I love cucumbers even more. White radish is on their menu, but they don’t eat much.
Yang Mingzhi immediately turned his head: "Secretary, take note of the dean's words!"
Compared with Liguschkov, Raslyutin raised questions and gave partial solutions, but the next person who spoke could only ask questions.
Peronisky, who was in charge of railway construction, listened to reports from his people and complained that the soil here was not easy to build railways. After a rain, some sections of the tracks collapsed.
Bobosky, the mayor of Catfish Village, who is in charge of the construction of the new settlement, believes that the construction on the right bank of the Pripet River lacks a permanent bridge.
The person in charge of the Homnage depot hopes that the army can send more manpower to sift metal from the soil of the ruins.
The supervisory representative of the sulfur mine became increasingly dissatisfied with the work efficiency of the prisoner of war laborers.
Police Chief Kabiski actually proposed to strengthen the food rationing for the villagers. He believed that it was the low rationing that made some hungry people dig immature potato tubers.
…
Problems in Catfish Village came one after another. Salinchkin and Lyudbalev listened carefully. They really had to be serious. Most of the questions were about municipal construction. As the mayor of Novgomel, Lyud
Balev, well aware of his own importance, raised a variety of issues with the delegates, some of which he recorded on record, but could not be properly resolved due to various practical obstacles.
Yang Mingzhi felt very uncomfortable when he listened to their opinions. For a while, he had been focusing entirely on how to produce weapons and how to maximize the results of the battle. He left all aspects of people's livelihood to the professional Lyudbalev. Ideological and political
I left it to Salinchkin, but there are still a lot of problems!
Hearing Kabiski's remarks about potatoes, Yang Mingzhi had to think seriously. He interrupted and suddenly asked: "Kabiski, how do you usually deal with potato thieves when you catch them?"
"Under wartime laws, such elements should be shot."
"What? Really kill him?" Yang Mingzhi's eyes widened. He knew that the Soviets really dared to do this.
At this time, Lyudbalev raised his hands and stood up to deny this: "We did not kill anyone! They stole food to survive, and we are very sympathetic to this. But a crime is a crime. If such elements are caught, they will be sentenced to reform through labor.
They were all sent to pioneer the land!"
This situation was unexpected by him. After hearing this, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but pat his chest.
Yang Mingzhi has never experienced the famine years, and traveled to the Soviet Union during the war. He really felt the hard days.
As officers of the "ruling class", Yang Mingzhi and his wife have always had a high standard of living. While ordinary people can only eat a few preserved potatoes a day, he can eat canned beef and even share a whole roasted lamb with his colleagues.
Although you can enjoy these according to regulations and laws, ask yourself, when you are chewing the leg of lamb, have you thought about the villagers who are chewing potatoes?
Yang Mingzhi thought of the two female workers who worked hard in the textile workshop. They used themselves as textile machines just to get double ration rewards. The reason was for no other reason. They had to feed themselves and their children.
"Alas! Food is always the foundation that supports the long-term stability of a country!"
Representatives at the meeting raised more than 20 questions one after another, including big questions and some trivial ones.
For example, Warmansky, the head of the Black Earth Village, as a veteran cavalryman, simply pointed out that the lack of lances in his cavalry unit made the troops lack majesty and seriously weakened the cavalry's combat effectiveness.
Yang Mingzhi originally wanted to refute, "The cavalry will withdraw from history soon. Why do you want to use a lance?" However, Salinchkin stood up like a conditioned reflex and said loudly: "The cavalry must have a lance. Every lance."
There is also a little red flag hanging on it, and I fully support it!”
Since the secretary agreed, Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to hold back what he was saying.
In the end, a lot of problems were raised, but only a few were solved in time. The meeting lasted until the sun completely set, and it was not until all the participating representatives were hungry and hypoglycemic that the meeting was suspended and will continue tomorrow.
