As for the idea that the Admiralty was fighting for its own funds, Liu Yijiu did not hear any rumors.

If I knew, I would definitely avoid them.

At least you have to bring ten or eight security personnel with you, lest those poor and crazy Admiralty bigwigs who have always had a naval gun temper do something crazy.

Of course, at least for now, he didn't have to worry about these things and went to base 541.

Factory 541, which was built in early 1970, was a major weapons manufacturing project deployed in Jinxi in the 70s in order to retain manufacturing capacity after the outbreak of Zhenbaodao in view of its relationship with the Soviet Union and in order to retain manufacturing capacity after the Soviet nuclear strike. The whole project has 1 tank assembly plant, 1 hull turret foundry, 3 tank mechanical parts processing plant, 2 tank gun factory, 3 580 horsepower tank engine factory, 3 shell factory, 3 optical instrument factory, 1 rubber factory (not under construction), power plant, large staff hospital, railway special line transportation headquarters, etc.

The only thing that makes people hurt is that this base is distributed in the mountainous area of Zhongtiao Mountain, which spans four counties, and most of the factories are backed by mountains, facing barren beaches, complex terrain, and inconvenient transportation. This kind of decentralized layout not only increases investment, but also brings many difficulties to production and workers' lives in the future.

There are more than 10,000 cadres and workers in the whole base, however, there are basically no military projects at hand, even before being acquired by private enterprises, what Liu Yijiu was left with was only the Type 84 (WZ-621) tank bridge erection vehicle and the double 37 semi-automatic self-propelled anti-aircraft gun chassis designed and finalized by the scientific research institute of the unit.

When Liu Yijiu heard this, he couldn't do it.

When the third line was built. It doesn't take into account the cooperation between the whole system at all, it's just for safety.

Four counties. A factory, sometimes when a certain part is produced. The machining process will run for tens or hundreds of kilometers.

It's a very large mess.

Even Liu Yijiu had a headache.

"Director Liu, let's not drop the chain, in this case, to control the cost, we have to speed up the production and improve the production efficiency, which is not something we can accomplish at all! After all, the area of this arrangement spans too long, not to mention anything else. Take the production of tank gun barrels as an example, just the machining process has to be transferred more than four times, and the transportation roads add up to more than 100 kilometers......" Chen Shuhao looked at the very strong young man in front of him in a cold sweat.

He explained with a wry smile.

Liu Yijiu is younger than his son, but he looks old, and he can see that these people in the system are weak-hearted.

"It shouldn't be more than just that, right? The production of civilian units is very prosperous, the slogans in the workshop make people's blood boil, and the overtime workers even eat by the master of the canteen on a tricycle...... "Liu Yijiu said coldly.

He was very aware of these situations.

Wang Shunyi and Liu Suxue are also a little helpless about the situation here. Leave this mess to Liu Yijiu to be responsible for solving it.

The production of the entire 541 tank base is mainly oriented to the direction of heavy industry, which is most urgently needed by the military industry, so it is now the time when the military is converted to civilian use. Some are difficult to get started with.

And the entire 541 base, because for many years, there have been no research and development tasks, and there are not too many production tasks. So now most of the non-core workshops are starting to engage in independent contracting, of course. This is not a contract to an individual, but to the entire workshop.

In the above, the policy has not been fully eaten. All the enterprises in the whole country are waiting and seeing, carefully taking steps to explore on the road of reform, and when groping, a big hat comes down, and there is no stool under the buttocks, and it is more likely that the head will fall to the ground.

"Isn't this a civilian production unit to help some brother units......" Chen Shuhao didn't dare to look at Liu Yijiu's cold eyes.

If it were a different person, let alone such a young man, even if it was someone about the same age as him, he would not be weak-hearted.

The young man in front of him, he didn't dare.

It is simple to feed a factory, but it is not easy to feed a system and contribute to the country's military industry. Liu Yijiu is now a popular person in the eyes of many bigwigs above, and before, whether it was Minister Liu Qingshan, who was in charge of logistics, or Long Yaohua, who was in charge of the General Staff, they all told him to ask him to assist Liu Yijiu well.

Once Liu Yijiu doesn't want him and tells him to pack up his things and get out, the entire military industrial system will have no place for him.

Why so, he did not know.

He has also seen some of the things that have been researched in the base of the Ninth Academy, and he has also explained Liu Yijiu's strength.

"No matter what it is, let's leave it aside for the time being, I don't know about the situation here, so let's go to the production workshop now, there is no right to speak without investigation!" Liu Yijiu did not want to investigate the problems of ineffective rectification and difficulty in implementing technological transformation.

The entire 541 base is too huge.

Now it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to complete a comprehensive rectification and technological upgrade in a short period of time.

Chen Shuhao knew that Liu Yijiu was a young man who did what he said, and he even envied this young man a little, why was he so good at talking in a huge base like the Ninth Academy, and the resistance he encountered was so small.

I don't dare to say that there have been many problems in the factory since he was reset, and the factory director responsibility system is simply empty talk.

The secretary still holds on to the power and does not let go, while he wants the right to the situation but is hollowed out.

A small factory is a microcosm of a complex society, not to mention that there are more than 10 sub-fingers and hundreds of workshops in the 541 tank base.

In every way, it's intricate.

The mountains in western Shanxi are not as high and densely forested as the Daba Mountains in the southwest, and the terrain in the ravines is much smoother and wider than the ravines in the entire southwest region. A lot of the hills behind the factories aren't even very high.

The degree of secrecy is far inferior to that of the Ninth Academy, the Seventh Academy under the Aerospace Academy, and even other units in the nuclear industry.

Here, the only thing is remote.

In the headquarters of the 541 General Factory, the main thing is the school. hospitals, the General Headquarters and the Institute of Technical Research. On the contrary, there are very few production units.

Of course, not far from the main plant. That is, in a continuous ravine more than ten kilometers away, many workshops are extended along the ravine, and Liu Yijiu is sore when he sees it.

When it was first built, it was not planned as neatly as the base of the Ninth Academy, and it was considered holistically.

The first thing to visit is the tank assembly plant, which is the largest factory in the entire 541 tank base, and the factory is in the same Soviet style, although when this unit was built, it has been against the Soviets for more than ten years. 617 was built with the aid of the Soviets, and everything in the 541 base was a copy of the 617 factory.

The assembly workshop is very tall, and the countless glass windows around it make the interior of the heavy brick and wood structure of the factory appear very bright, but in winter, the weather is already gloomy, and the assembly plant is constantly moving because of the huge driving force, and it still has to rely on the rows of incandescent lights overhead.

"At the moment we are still producing a part of the 69 tanks, and there are very few orders...... "saw that many people in the workshop were idle. There were even a lot of workers in the general assembly, old and young, men and women, sitting around playing cards, and when they saw these cadres wearing four pockets and hard hats on their heads come in, few of them took things seriously.

Some of the old skilled workers, many of them, sit on top of some toolbox or even heavy parts of a tank, read newspapers, chat or smoke and brag.

There is not the slightest rigor.

No one can see that this is a key unit for the production of the king of the land. Instead, it gives people the feeling of a workshop. The only difference is that this workshop is really bigger.

The faces of Chen Shuhao and the group of people who followed him changed.

Liu Yijiu said at the beginning that he wanted to visit, but they thought that he was just going to the Institute of Technology and Research, after all, it was what Liu Yijiu valued. Who knew that on the way, he directly proposed to visit the tank assembly plant ten kilometers away from the headquarters.

When I got here, I didn't look for a finger. That is, the factory department numbered 5409 factory, and when I came, I saw such a scene directly.

Liu Yijiu did not speak. Instead, looking at the surrounding environment, the assembly plant can lift 50 tons of cranes above the head of the workshop. As well as some electric hoists that can be moved, there is basically not much equipment. Some welding machines were randomly placed in the workshop, more than a dozen of them were neatly arranged, and there were no turrets around the tanks, and there were no people working around them.

Liu Yijiu didn't bother the workers and cadres who were making a fuss and playing cards, but just asked Chen Shuhao and others not to follow him, and went up alone to watch the workers play cards with his arms in his arms, and then chatted with the young workers around him.

It wasn't until he got off work that he couldn't finish looking outside.

"it, the factory director asked us to do it, the secretary disagreed, and the leaders also had different opinions, and we didn't know who to listen to. What else is produced? I heard that we want to rectify, and each branch has set up a rectification office, and the relatives of the leading cadres have gone in, and they have held meetings all day long, and they have not seen anyone come to our workshop to investigate and understand the situation......"

"We're not a machining workshop here, we're all engaged in tank assembly, what can we do? Last time, the factory said that it was going to produce tractors, and asked us to prepare to assemble tractors, but later it was said that we were transferred from the Fifth Machinery Department to the newly established Ninth Academy of the Ministry of National Defense, and the leaders of the Ninth Academy came here for a walk, and then patted their butts and left......

The situation became very clear and clear in Liu Yijiu's small talk.

Liu Yijiu didn't expect that this unit, which he had placed his hopes on, would have such a situation that he didn't want to see.

He left the assembly plant with a gloomy face, but not far from the assembly plant, the 5429 factory, which was originally a machining branch for the production of tank parts, and the 5449 factory for the production of stamping parts, was in full swing.

Slogans such as "Big Dry Red May" and "Fighting for a Hundred Days" are hung on the walls at both ends of the workshop, although the workshop is chaotic, although the processed parts are not strictly classified, and the processed parts are not quickly transferred to the next process after processing, and even iron filings, waste processing knives and cutter bodies are everywhere, but also give people a state of enthusiasm.

Liu Yijiu didn't ask what parts they were producing now, nor did he ask anything else, but just walked and watched.

"Hongfeng Machinery Factory is currently developing light trucks, guided by the strategic thinking of protecting the army and converting civilians put forward by the state......" Chen Shuhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Yijiu's face was not as black as the 5409 factory that he had pointed to yesterday.

There is no way around it.

What the country needs at present is a huge processing capacity, and foundries and machinery factories can easily find work, especially the goods that can be easily machined, but not in the assembly workshop.

"Hongfeng Factory?" Liu Yijiu immediately frowned.

"Director Liu, that's the case, the sub-reference is the name of our insiders, and the external number is a number, and there is a name that starts with a red letter as the factory name...... "It didn't appear yesterday, and Secretary Yan Pingyuan, who accompanied Liu Yijiu out early this morning, replied with a smile.

He didn't feel much shame about the situation inside the final assembly plant.

Most of the enterprises in the country that have no work are like this, and besides, a young man can be dismissed in a few clicks.

Otherwise, he would not have already written a red-headed document on it, clearly allocating 541, a unit with huge machining capacity, to the Ninth Academy, which is still a young person in charge of work, and he still maintains an absolute advantage over Chen Shuhao, so that the factory director responsibility system proposed by the central government has become a dead letter here.

"And that kind of talk?" Liu Yijiu was very surprised.

It seems that all the numbers in the Ninth Courtyard are numbered, and there is no name for the outside world, after all, the former Ninth Academy, this is a top-secret level strategic military unit.

"Yes, although our factory has been established for a short time, and the construction has not been completed, our strength is definitely very good. When the 541 base was built that year, the soldiers from 617, the technical cadres of the capital and Shanghai, and the senior engineers who returned from the Soviet Union ...... Yan Pingyuan began to introduce the glory of their unit to Liu Yijiu with a smile on his face.

was interrupted by Liu Yijiu.

"Secretary Yan, we have learned about these situations. If it weren't for the existence of these elites, the Ninth Academy wouldn't have asked for the 541 base! Liu Yijiu's voice was cold.

Yan Pingyuan turned out to be the secretary, and he had been in office for many years, but he didn't step down after that, which made Liu Yijiu a little surprised.

He really wanted to ask Yan Pingyuan, why there were so many elite soldiers and strong generals in the entire base, and after so many years of construction, they had not come up with a new type of tank.

Not to mention the new one, even if it is a transformation of the 69 style.

Many of the important technicians in the factory were so hard that they didn't dare to speak, and the hard-hearted Chen Yang and Shi Chuanxiang and others had already been thrown into the farm under the construction corps in Inner Mongolia for labor reform! (To be continued......)
