Standing at the door of the office, Secretary Jane settled down and knocked twice on the door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not that he's rude, it's that the owner of the room is old and his hearing has deteriorated. If you don't knock hard, the other party may not be able to hear and delay the matter.

"Come in!" Through the door panel, I heard a Sichuan dialect coming from inside.

Secretary Jane softly pushed open the door and entered the room.

The office is about 30 square meters in size, with a yellowish wooden floor and a door that opens in the right corner.

On the left side of the door, there is a wide, large old-fashioned desk with a pale yellow paint and a lamp against the wall. A hardwood chair was placed behind the desk, and a cloth cushion was tied to the back of the back in order to relieve the burden on the waist of the elderly when they sat in the office.

However, the old man generally does not work at this desk, only the lamp is on, and there is a stack of papers and a few teacups neatly placed on the table.

On the left side of the door, against the wall, is a glass and wooden frame more than one person high, in which are placed some small ornaments sent by the chief's family.

Leaning against a wooden frame, two old-fashioned sofas are placed, and between the sofas is a low wooden table.

At this time, the No. 1 chief was sitting on the sofa in the back, wearing reading glasses, and looking at the documents in the light of a floor lamp behind him. Between his right fingers, there was also a lit panda cigarette, the cigarette curled up, and the ash had grown old.

Secretary Jian looked at the cigarette, frowned slightly, went over to help him open the window, opened the curtains, let the smoke gathered in the room dissipate some of it, and comforted him: "Chief, why are you smoking again?" Doctors advise you to smoke less, which is not good for your health. ”

"Long-winded, I'm just this hobby, you still have to stop it!" Chief No. 1 didn't raise his head, still looking at the document, unmoved by his advice, he flicked the ash into the ashtray, put it to his mouth and sucked it hard, before he snuffed out the little cigarette holder in the ashtray, and raised his head, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Secretary Jian opened the folder and took out a few pages of letterhead: "The expert group that went to the People's Party military sub-district to inspect has sent back a petition letter applying for the large-scale promotion of vacuum electroslag remelting furnaces in the country. According to their investigation, the vacuum electroslag remelting furnace improved by the military sub-district has an impact resistance and toughness 67 percent higher than that of similar steel grades in China, and its service life is more than four times that of similar domestic products, and it is of indispensable importance to the improvement of national defense science and technology, aerospace, metallurgy, mechanical processing, and chemical pressure vessel manufacturing in China, they ......said.

As a secretary, the responsibility is not only to serve tea and water, but also to hand over the documents to the superiors. The most important task is to extract the subject content of the document, use the most concise words and sentences, and report it to the chief, so as to avoid the superiors wasting too much time in unnecessary simplification.

Only the most important documents are presented to the chief, who carefully read them word by word, and slowly straighten out their thoughts and give instructions in the course of reading.

The old man waved his hand, motioning for him not to continue for the time being.

"Hehehehe, needless to say, it's nothing more than how important this project is, and what a loss it is if not. To put it bluntly, it's just reaching out for money! Chief No. 1 put down the document in his hand, took off his reading glasses, and pinched the bridge of his nose wearily.

After all, he is an old man in his seventies, and his age is unforgiving. I have just returned from a visit to the United States, and my body has not yet been fully rested. After working for a while, I felt a little lacking in energy.

"Money money money, now the country is just beginning to recover its economy, and people are reaching out for money in all directions. But there is only so much money, it costs money for food, clothing, production and construction, and now it is at war with Vietnam, and it is even more expensive to spend money, where is there any money! The old man sighed tiredly in a thick Sichuan accent, "The experts are unanimous, I don't know how to pay attention to it, but I really don't have any money!" ”

He turned his head, his eyes fell on the branches of the courtyard, and looked at the branches that had just bloomed a little bit in the early spring, and he was a little dazed.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are

There were cries from all sides to ask the central government for money, and one by one they seemed to be unable to do anything without money, crying and shouting that they wanted money. Last year, a large number of educated youths spontaneously returned to the city, but the local governments did not dare to stop them, and they did not buy tickets when they got on the bus, and the attendants had to give them a warm reception.

Millions of educated youths have returned to the cities, and the counties and cities have turned gray in order to solve their employment problems. If the local government can't solve it, it will reach out to the province; If the province can't solve it, it will reach out to the central government. But to whom can he reach out? Only by asking the localities to find their own way to solve the problem did the result that all localities knew that they would lose money, but still set up many street enterprises such as match factories and glass factories that did not make money at all, and tried by all means to resettle unemployed youths -- the term unemployed youth was also invented, referring to these young people who have no jobs and are waiting at home for the government to help them find employment.

Of course, this method of obviously fooling people will not work.

Most unemployed young people don't buy it at all, and resolutely don't go to the street to set up factories, thinking that it is a shame.

They have nothing to do all day long, relying on themselves to sacrifice their youth for the country, either drinking and making trouble, or ganging up in groups to do things in the streets, and social order has seriously deteriorated. Vicious cases such as extortion, molestion and rape have risen sharply, and even the benchmark for major and vicious cases is constantly rising.

The central authorities have all this in their eyes, but in order to restore social order, it is necessary to return to a reasonable job placement in the end. If we do not fundamentally solve the work arrangement, relying on the public security organs alone will not help at all.

But the crux of the problem is that the central government can't solve it!

The state is still trying to restore the chaos caused by the decade, the paralysis of factories, and the shortage of supplies.

Yes, there is always money to squeeze. It really doesn't work, and it's not a problem to print a little or even a few points, and it is not a problem to ask for hundreds of millions, billions, or tens of billions.

But this deviates from the essence of money as an exchange equivalent!

The supply of means of production is more important than money!

If the original mess is not straightened out and the factory is not opened, there will be no adequate supply of materials. Without raw materials, no matter how much the factory is built, it cannot be guaranteed to be put into operation, and it can only start for a period of time and rest for a period of operation, which is difficult to maintain. In the end, it's not like just sitting like this, waiting for the equipment to fall into dust.

Aside from economic construction, the army now needs money to fight wars. The just-concluded battle in southern Xinjiang cost the country more than 100 million in just one month!

Of course, this battle should be fought and must be fought.

Not fighting is not enough to deter the surrounding areas and win a peaceful environment for development; Not fighting is not enough to test the combat effectiveness of the troops, and they can rest assured that they will invest in economic construction; Not fighting is not enough to prove China's international status, so as to gain more bargaining chips in foreign exchanges.

Facts have also proved that the PLA can still fight.

Although the regular troops of both sides are 200,000 to 100,000, the level of troops sent by both sides is not on the same level: most of the domestic elites are deployed on the Sino-Soviet border, vigilant against the Soviet invasion at any time, and the self-defense counterattack only mobilizes the border troops; However, the Vietnamese side clamored for the strategic thinking of "winning on the front line" and "winning on the border" and "not allowing the abandonment of a township, county, province, or city," and transferred three of the four full-fledged Soviet armament divisions, which had the strongest combat effectiveness and were known as the trump card divisions. In addition, the other side also mobilized 150,000 militiamen, shouting the slogan of "giving full play to comprehensive superiority and waging a war for the whole people," demanding that the front-line troops "win the first battle" and "crush the enemy's first echelon of attack."

In addition, the border is located in a mountainous area, the road traffic is inconvenient, the terrain environment is very complex, and the transportation of materials is difficult. The Vietnamese side has built a large number of permanent fortifications with reinforced concrete on various dangerous hills, intending to defend them to the death. The opponent was condescending, but our army was feinting from a low place and could not charge quickly.

If this kind of terrain is handed over to the People's Liberation Army to defend, even if it fights more with less, it is confident that it will hold its position and not lose it, or at least the front will not collapse.

But in fact, the PLA was just an impact, and the whole line was broken. In just 10 days, it advanced 20 to 50 kilometers and completely penetrated the mountainous defense line of the Vietnamese side, overlooking the plain. If it weren't for the fact that the Soviet Union was so angry that it threatened to use nuclear weapons, it would have been possible to destroy its country!

And the other side boasted before the war that one of the three ace divisions that played ten, one was completely annihilated, two were severely damaged, and almost all were wiped out.

Of course, this battle also exposed many problems within the PLA.

For example, because the large-scale contest was criticized, the combat effectiveness of officers and soldiers declined, and in particular, the commanders were stiff in command. In many places where there was clearly a better solution, the commander ordered the spirit of "not fearing death and not fearing hardship" to lead the troops to attack strongly, causing heavy casualties to the troops.

Another example is that some fighters, in order to be relaxed, and because they underestimate the enemy's will to fight, they tie themselves to the handrails of tanks and armored vehicles during the march. As a result, when the enemy attacked and could not be deployed quickly, many fighters were killed while still on the tank.

Another example is that due to poor maintenance of some weapons and ammunition and a weak sense of responsibility in military factories, there have been explosions and dumb fires, which has caused many soldiers to sacrifice needlessly.

The biggest loss is the confusion and poor communication between the various departments. In particular, when the troops were finally withdrawn and returned to China, the higher authorities announced the withdrawal of the troops without finding out where the various units were and arranging the sequence of sequential cover. As a result, all units ran backwards in one go, causing some units to be seriously disjointed, losing flank cover and being surrounded by the enemy. After one of the regiments was surrounded, the regiment commander and political commissar panicked, and instead of ordering the troops to defend on the spot, they ordered to disperse and break through, as a result, the command was paralyzed, resulting in the capture of most of the whole regiment!

However, despite all the disappointments, on the whole, the battle still achieved the expected goal.

Our army suffered 20,000 casualties, the enemy suffered 60,000 casualties, and the militia suffered 50,000 casualties (rough estimates).

If there is a problem, we are not afraid, and if we win, we will have enough time and buffer to find out and solve the problem.

What I am afraid of is that if we are defeated, then the enemy will gain an inch, and we will have to passively parry, which is the most terrible.

The problem of disorderly command only needs to reorganize the communication links and strictly enforce responsibility and discipline. The problem of stiff command can be solved by putting the troops back in the barracks and training hard; It is a big problem to equip the troops with a large number of inferior weapons, and it is necessary to carry out a major rectification of the military industrial enterprises, and the military standard system submitted by the General Assembly should also be issued - I heard that the establishment of this military standard has also partially adopted the standards of the People's Army; As for details such as being tied to tanks, it is up to the units to summarize on their own in order to avoid the recurrence of such incidents......

Generally speaking, there are more advantages than disadvantages and more advantages than disadvantages in this battle, and after this test, it is believed that the top level of the country has more confidence in the PLA's protection of national security, and it is believed that China will have a peaceful internal and external environment for a long period of time. It will also be more able to persuade them to shift the country's focus to economic construction at the congress held at the end of the year.

Chief One rubbed his swollen forehead and let out a long sigh.

When the country is big, it becomes very difficult to make a major change, and the resistance from all sides is amazing. Every decision must be carefully considered and tried to convince other comrades, and when implemented, the results may not be as good as they expected.

From '76 to the present, it has been three whole years, but even the work of straightening out the production relations in the whole country has not yet been completed. The matter of the country's focus shifting to economic construction has been shouted from 76 years to the present, but even the party has not yet reached a comprehensive consensus: the People's Party military subdivision next door has developed by leaps and bounds under the leadership of a doll general, and everyone has agreed to list economic construction as the center of gravity, but they are afraid of the threat of the Soviet Union.

After the fight of self-defense and counterattack this time, everyone should be relieved, and it will be of great help to convince other comrades......

Secretary Jian held her breath as if she didn't exist, and quietly stood aside, not daring to interrupt his thoughts.

After I don't know how long, the No. 1 leader finally withdrew his eyes from the courtyard, so that the secretary could not see his tiredness and helplessness, and said lightly: "What kind of vacuum furnace is this, it was also done by the little guy named Guan Fei from the People's Party, right?" Did he make any conditions? ”

"Nope!" Secretary Jian seemed to be on standby at any time, and as soon as the chief's question was over, he immediately replied, "Before the expert group could speak, he provided all the design parameters. In the letter, the experts praised the formulas, saying that they were extremely important to us, that they were important information that money could not buy, and that they were more precious than gold. With these formulas, it is of great significance to scientifically design vacuum electroslag remelting furnaces of various scales according to our needs! ”

"Oh? We, like Chow Chows, like children who like to move everything home, are so generous this time? Chief No. 1 casually put his hand on the armrest of the sofa and laughed.

Secretary Jian didn't dare to play on his own, but just repeated the content of the letter: "The letter said that the other party gave a full set of data first. But hopefully we can help solve the transportation problem and build a railway to the base area. In addition, they would like to ask us to produce an arc production line with an annual output of 4 million tons of stainless steel according to their drawings, including a continuous casting production line to accompany it......"

"Hehehehehe! Hahahaha! That's him! I have long known that this Sichuan fellow who claims to be from Chengdu is more refined than a mouse, so it's strange that he will give us information without anything! ”

A low laugh erupted in Chief One's throat, patting his thigh with one hand and pointing at Secretary Jane with the other, leaning back and laughing.

"And how do we reply?" Secretary Jane's eyes also showed a slight smile.

"How many of those vacuum furnaces are they going to build? How much does it cost? The No. 1 leader smiled and groaned for a while, then asked slowly.

"I want to build 17 vacuum furnaces, including 10 of 40 tons, 5 of 20 tons, 1 of 70 tons, 100 tons, and by the way, build a 200-ton super large electric furnace." Secretary Jane didn't even look at it, so he reported the correct number.

The No. 1 leader waved his hand and said in a resolute tone: "Only give them seven, and there is no more!" The 200-ton, 100-ton, and 70-ton ones are all one, and the others will follow the People's Party's side, don't do so many test models! That's all there is to it, every penny has to be spent on the knife edge! ”

"What about the BJP?" Secretary Jane asked for further instructions.

"The railroad should be repaired! Will their things come out, and ours go in? With the railway, it is also convenient for us to control the border, and it is also good for guarding against the restless country to the south. The production line, depending on the domestic production progress, can be included in the plan, in the case of production materials, raw materials surplus, can help them produce. The No. 1 leader said with an indifferent expression.

"Got it." Secretary Jian relied on her brain to quickly memorize the chief's instructions word for word, and was ready to write them down when she went out later.

"Are you alright?"

"No, I'll go down and arrange work." Secretary Jane walked briskly, left the office, and took the door with him.

Seeing the office door closed, Chief One did not immediately go to work, but maintained his posture, his eyes were a little scattered, obviously thinking about something.

"Bulletproof materials, bulletproof inserts, vacuum furnaces, and now another special steel production line with an annual output of four million tons ......, what does he want to do? If you want to fight with the headquarters, you won't be able to use such a good thing to deal with those remnants of the defeated army. Could it be that he is still really preparing with the ambition of liberating Quanding? He muttered softly, frowned slightly, and looked a little solemn.

After a while, he accidentally saw the document he was looking at at at the moment, and unconsciously sighed softly.

"Forget it, we still have too much to take care of our own affairs, we have to hold a meeting in less than ten months, and we don't have enough time to persuade the comrades in the party to reach a consensus, so how can we have the leisure to think about other people's affairs. He can do whatever he likes. It is determined that relations with the West and the Soviet Union are not good, and no one will interfere in doing something. If he really does it, it will be good for us, and if he messes up, it will be nothing more than a hard time to get people back, and he can't afford to turn over the big wind and waves, just wait and see what happens. ”

He decided not to think about it anymore, put on his glasses, lowered his head, and looked at the document seriously.
