Yang Mingzhi's words hit the nail on the head, and it also made the battlefield meeting no longer look like a report meeting.

As far as the current weakness of the partisan republics and Novgomel is concerned, the production of weapons may not be able to meet the needs of a larger-scale operation, and the rations of the whole population are highly dependent on the abundant potato harvest.

The experience that Yang Mingzhi learned from himself as a soldier in that plane is naturally placed here, that is, self-criticism and finding his own shortcomings.

The deficiencies of the guerrilla republics are difficult to find by those in power alone, and the cost of some omissions is fatal.

Without thinking much about it, Rygushkov stood up with his hands raised in the air.

"I think that our fertilizer plant is still not hidden enough, and once the Germans send out bombers, all it takes is an aerial bomb to destroy all our efforts, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild the fertilizer plant. And the most serious loss is that once the fertilizer plant stops production, the ammonia for agriculture will be gone, and the total amount of explosives raw materials for the arsenal will also plummet! ”

"Hmmm! This is our important weakness! Yang Mingzhi nodded deeply, and ordered the several clerks sitting on the right side of the conference room: "Please ask the clerk to make this crucial record." ”

Ryguskov quickly brought about the atmosphere, so that those who already had some opinions and were embarrassed to stand up alone had a reason to stand up generously.

Raslyutin of the Novgomel People's Hospital stood up, and he raised the issue of medicines and sanitary products. That is, a heavy rain caused a large number of diseases, but there was a shortage of medicines.

"Comrades, disease is no less of a threat to us than the Germans. After a heavy rain, the hospital counted more than 500 patients, while the number of patients with simple diseases was as high as 400! I believe that there are still many people who did not come to the hospital to report!

According to the instructions of the superiors, the supply of medicines must be given priority to the army, especially antibiotic drugs, but such drugs are the best medicine for colds!

We must ensure that medicine is given priority to the wounded and sick soldiers, and as for the masses with colds and fevers, we can only use local methods. Thankfully, our military doctor, Besika, found a way to catch a cold through food materials, and after a night of experimentation, almost all of the patients got better.

Comrade Besika's means is also very simple, that is, eating turnips in large quantities. I never thought that turnips were also a medicine for colds, and since this is very effective, I suggest that, the three heads of the collective farms here, I beg you, increase the area of radishes! ”

The eyes of everyone present, including Yang Mingzhi, lit up, and staying in the blacksmith village with star fruit was not a simple cure.

The matter of using radish to treat a cold is normal in the eyes of Chinese, but Lao Maozi seems to have not studied it carefully. There is nothing wrong with thinking about it, as far as eating vegetables is concerned, they prefer cabbage and carrots, and they like cucumbers even more, and white radishes are not much in their recipes.

Yang Mingzhi immediately turned his head: "Clerk, remember the dean's words as well!" ”

In contrast to Rigushkov, Rslyutin raised the problem and gave partial solutions, but the next speaker was only to ask questions.

Peroniski, who was in charge of the railway, heeded his report and complained that the soil was too difficult to build and that part of the track collapsed after a rain.

Pobosky, the head of the village of Catfish, who was responsible for the construction of the new settlement, believes that the construction of the right bank of the Pripet River lacks a permanent bridge.

The head of the Homnich station wanted the troops to send more men to sift through the soil of the ruins.

The representatives of the sulphur mine overseers were increasingly dissatisfied with the efficiency of the POW laborers.

Kabisky, the police chief, went so far as to offer to strengthen the villagers' food rations, believing that it was the low rations that made some people hungry to dig up the unripe potato tubers.

……

The problems of the catfish village followed, and Salinchkin and Lyudbalev listened attentively. They really have to be serious, and most of the questions are about municipal construction. Lyudbalyov, who was the mayor of Novgomel, was well aware of his importance, and the deputies raised a variety of questions, some of which he recorded but could not properly resolve due to various obstacles in reality.

Yang Mingzhi listened to their opinions, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. For a period of time, my mind has been all about how to produce weapons, how to maximize the results of the battle, and the people's livelihood has been handed over to the professional Lyudbalev, and the ideological and political aspect has been handed over to Salinchikin, and there are still a lot of problems!

Hearing Kabisky's remarks about potatoes, Yang Mingzhi had to think seriously, he interrupted and suddenly asked: "Kabisky, how do you deal with the thieves who steal potatoes?" ”

"If, according to the wartime decree, such elements are to be executed by shooting."

"What? Really killed? Yang Mingzhi's eyes widened, he knew that the Soviets really dared to do this.

At this time, Lyudbalev raised his hand and stood up to deny this: "We did not kill anyone!" They steal food to survive, and we have great sympathy for that. But a crime is a crime, and such elements are caught, sentenced to labor reform, and they are all sent to pioneering! ”

This situation was something he didn't expect, and when he heard this, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help patting his chest.

Yang Mingzhi did not experience the years of famine and traveled to the Soviet Union in the war, and he really felt this kind of hard life.

As an officer of the "ruling class", Yang Mingzhi and his wife have always had a very high standard of living, when ordinary people can only eat a few preserved potatoes and fruits a day, they can eat canned beef, and even share a whole roast sheep with colleagues.

Although it is possible to enjoy these according to the regulations and laws, ask yourself, do you want to gnaw potatoes when you nibble on a leg of mutton?

Yang Mingzhi remembered the two female workers who worked hard in the textile workshop, thinking of themselves as looms in order to get double the ration reward. For no other reason, they have to feed themselves, they have to feed their children.

"Alas! Food is always the foundation that supports the long-term peace and stability of a country! ”

The participants raised more than 20 questions one after another, some of which were big and some of which were trivial.

For example, as an old cavalryman, the head of the village of Heitu, Vomamansky, simply pointed out that the lack of cavalry guns in his cavalry units made the troops lack majesty and seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

Yang Mingzhi wanted to refute "The cavalry will soon withdraw from history, what are you going to do with the spear", but Salinchkin stood up as if reflexively and said loudly: "The cavalry must have a cavalry spear, and a small red flag must be hung on each cavalry lance, I fully support it!" ”

Now that the secretary agreed, Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to hold back the words that came to his lips.

In the end, a large number of problems were raised, and only a few were solved in a timely manner. The meeting was held in one breath until the sun completely set, and it was not until the delegates were hungry for low blood sugar that it was suspended and resumed tomorrow.
