"Chief! You are too impatient. I have only been the director of the arsenal for more than ten days, so what progress can I make?" Wang Ping replied helplessly.
Commander Nie shook his head and replied: "It's not that I am anxious, but that the head of the headquarters is anxious. You don't know that the arsenal you are building now is not only the first regular arsenal in our military region, but also the largest arsenal behind enemy lines for our Eighth Route Army.
The army is all looking at us, do you think I can be calmer?"
"If there is no progress, then tell me what you think. It will also give me, the commander, confidence!"
"Besides, I believe that since you decided to attack the Bald Ridge Coal Mine, you must have a purpose, otherwise you wouldn't have sent all the captured materials and equipment directly to the military region!"
Wang Ping suddenly remembered that the later Huangyadong Arsenal would not be established until a year later.
Although the Eighth Route Army now has an arsenal, it is too small in scale and has little equipment. It is more of a repair shop than an arsenal.
Compared with the constantly relocating headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, which already has a solid base, is clearly in a better position to create an arsenal.
Therefore, I, the head of the headquarters, focused my expectations for building an arsenal on Commander Nie in front of me and put a lot of pressure on him.
After taking a deep breath, he answered directly without hesitation.
"I am hoarding the explosives in the coal mine for the little devils. The explosives used by the devils are not the black powder we made ourselves. They are powerful yellow explosives that can be directly used to make bullets and artillery shells!"
"Now we don't have the conditions to produce these raw materials, so we can only find ways to steal them from the Japanese."
"I just didn't expect that there would be so many unexpected gains after taking down the Little Devil Bald Ridge Coal Mine!"
"Unexpected gain!" Commander Nie asked with a frown.
"Did they completely wipe out the Japanese and puppet reinforcements and gain more than 2,000 workers who can be replenished at any time to our Eighth Route Army?"
"More than that!" Wang Ping answered directly.
"The two biggest unexpected gains are equipment and people. A large amount of equipment was found in the Jaap Mine, and I had it all shipped back. On the surface, it has nothing to do with making guns, but I believe it will definitely be useful. I plan to find someone to modify it.
, let’s see if we can modify it into a cutting machine tool and a stamping machine tool!”
"As for people, we actually found a university professor of mechanics in the mine, as well as a dozen students studying mechanics. They are all staying in the arsenal now. If we can bring them into the arsenal that is about to be established, the arsenal will definitely be even more powerful!"
Building an arsenal is not a war, and not everyone can do it.
The arsenal requires a large amount of technology and talent reserves, and Commander Nie knows this very well.
Therefore, as soon as Wang Ping finished speaking, Commander Nie ordered: "Wang Ping, they must stay, this is an order!"
"We, the Eighth Route Army, are poor and we certainly cannot afford them as good a treatment as they received in Japan. However, we are sincere and can also give them political treatment."
"Isn't their leader a professor? As long as he is willing to stay, we can let him enjoy the treatment of a company commander, no, a battalion commander. Although the battalion commander's usual allowance is very small, this can show our sincerity."
"You know, for ordinary people to join the Eighth Route Army, it takes at least several years, sufficient military exploits, and a lot of life and death before they can be promoted to battalion commander!"
After listening to these words, Wang Ping suddenly thought about why Nie Shuai would be in charge of military industry after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In addition to being appointed by his superiors, a very important reason was that Nie Shuai did have talent in this area. He thought about it for almost a whole night with just a few words.
The plan was explained.
In order to retain Professor Li, Wang Ping racked his brains for half a night last night before coming up with this plan.
It is definitely unrealistic to pay them under the current conditions of the Eighth Route Army. And talents like Professor Li don't care about these things.
Combined with the way later generations treat these talents, Wang Ping finally thought of a way to assign them levels according to their abilities. Different levels will enjoy different political treatment. You must know that in this troubled world, political treatment is definitely more important than money.
Make their hearts flutter.
"The commander is wise, I also have the same idea, because there are too many things involved, and I am preparing to report to the commander, asking him to make a decision!" While admiring him, Wang Ping quickly reported to Commander Nie.
"You tell me, I'll listen!" Commander Nie's face turned serious.
Wang Ping answered directly without any nonsense: "Our Eighth Route Army soldiers, after they have achieved military exploits and abilities on the battlefield, can be promoted step by step to squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, or even regiment commander, or division commander."
"I think the technicians and engineers in the arsenal should do the same thing! If everyone in the arsenal is treated the same regardless of their abilities, then the enthusiasm of capable technicians and engineers will definitely be greatly affected, and even affect the development of the arsenal!"
"In order to ensure the enthusiasm of all technicians and engineers in the arsenal, mobilize their innovation capabilities, and improve their level, I think we should also classify them into levels. My idea is to divide them into fourteen levels, corresponding to the new recruits and veterans in the army.
, deputy squad leader, squad leader...and then all the way to deputy division commander, division commander. As long as they have the ability and have made enough contributions to the arsenal, there is no problem in giving them political treatment at the level of regiment commander and division commander!"
Seeing Commander Nie looking thoughtful and silent, Wang Ping continued his analysis.
"For example, for Professor Li who is currently staying in the arsenal, we can temporarily assign her to Level 10. If he wants to continue to advance, he must make enough contributions."
"Another example is his students. We can assign them to Level 6 and enjoy the political treatment of a platoon leader. If their ability reaches the level of his professor and they have made enough contributions to the arsenal, we can upgrade them to Level 10.
Even better!"
"As for the lowest level, it represents recruits in the army and apprentices in the arsenal."
"After passing the apprenticeship period, you will be promoted to an ordinary worker, with a level of level two. The next higher level will be workers with certain skills, then junior technicians, ordinary technicians, intermediate technicians, and senior technicians. After passing the technician, you will be an engineer, and they will be divided into junior engineers
, ordinary engineers, mid-level engineers, senior engineers, and above that there are professor-level talents like Professor Li, I will not subdivide them!"
"Very good, very good!" Commander Nie didn't say anything, but he praised Wang Ping without hesitation.
"Now I am even more convinced that the decision to make you the director of the arsenal is the right one. With your emphasis on talents, the arsenal will definitely flourish in your hands!"
"I've been thinking about this idea for a long time! I won't care about the other things. Now I'll give you two hours to write out all your thoughts and ideas. We will discuss it again, then formulate a written document and submit it to the headquarters and Yan'an. This kind of talent-oriented approach
Methods and methods must be implemented not only by our military region, but also by the entire Eighth Route Army!"
Wang Ping did not expect that Commander Nie would pay so much attention to an idea he suddenly came up with.
Wang Ping did not shirk the blame. Anyway, this matter would be very beneficial to the Eighth Route Army as a whole. He directly picked up the paper and pen handed over by Commander Nie and began to write out what was in his mind!
