Chapter 116 Oil Pipeline
"Before I start the meeting, I would like to give you a brief introduction. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Igor, who was sitting next to Kaganovich, stood up, politely pointed at his boss next to him with his palm closed with five fingers, and said: "This is Comrade Kaganovich, People's Commissar of the Oil Industry, I am his assistant, just call me Igor." ”
Igor first introduced the identities of the members of the Ministry of Petroleum and the Ministry of Construction one by one, as well as the assistants/secretaries of the representatives of the two places, and finally it was the turn of the leaders sent by the two places.
"This is Comrade Veronica Ustnova, Second Secretary of the Party Committee of the City of Tyumen, who is attending the meeting on behalf of the city of Tyumen and the Omsk Region." Igor's palm was upward, and he politely reached out in Veronica's direction.
Veronica nodded confidently, expressing her affirmation of the two national departments, as well as herself.
At this time, Igor stretched out his palm to Manturov and introduced: "This is the first secretary of the Party Committee of the Novosibirsk region, Comrade Vladimir Manturov. He was the first and only comrade in our country to be awarded the title of "Hero of Socialist Labor" and the Order of Lenin, and was also awarded the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" for his exploits in the Battle of the Halaha River and leading the great Soviet Red Army to victory over the Japanese invaders. ”
After Igor's touting presentation, there was a round of applause in the conference room. Even outside the building, the sound of cars on the road, the noise, was muffled by this applause.
After Igor sat down, Kaganovich, People's Commissar of the Oil Industry, spoke first: "The oil industry is a very important industry for our country, which can not only bring great economic benefits, but also play a vital role in the development of the country and the improvement of the country's overall strength.
Today, both the Novosibirsk region and the Omsk region sent high-level leaders to attend the meeting, which shows the importance that local governments and party organizations attach to the oil industry. I hope that we can cooperate smoothly in the future and develop this oil industry, which is very important to the country and the people. ”
Kaganovich, who looked serious, quickly infected the others, and put everyone in the meeting into a serious, serious meeting. Manturov, who had been smiling politely just now, has now become as calm and serious as a Siberian tiger hunting, with a kind of majesty that a Hero of the Soviet Union and a political commissar of the II Army Group should have.
With one hand on his cheek and a frown, he listened attentively and intently to the speech of the Minister of Oil; With a pen in his other hand, he scribbled around in his notebook, jotting down the key points that people had said and the ideas he had come up with on the spot.
On the other side, Veronica Ustnova, the second secretary of the Tyumen city party committee, was different, although she was also listening to the words of others, but she did not take any notes. The expression on her face also made her look absent-minded, because she felt that she was very smart, that she didn't have to listen to the "dull" and "repetitive" "nonsense" that the old cadres said, and that it was not the point.
It is true that the content of those words is not the point, but from the tone of the speaker's speech, as well as their choice of words, and the number of times certain words/sentences are repeated, we can judge the speaker's focus and his basic psychology. This is where Manturov takes notes and researches, and adapts his words to the focus and state of mind of others.
Looking at Manturov's notes, Anna's mind was foggy. What is written on it is not Russian that they can understand, nor is it a man who can be recognized by the font, but a non-English language made up of Latin letters. What language? Not the Latin version of the Russian language, nor any Slavic language, but German.
After a round of "nonsense", the People's Commissar of the Oil Industry Kaganovich officially entered the topic of greatest interest to Manturov and Veronica: "Comrades, after many discussions, we, the People's Commissariat of the Oil Industry and the People's Commissariat of Construction, finally came up with two plans for the route of the oil pipeline.
The first option is to build an oil pipeline along the banks of the Ob River to connect the oil-producing areas in the middle reaches of the Ob River to the October refinery in Novosibirsk.
The second option is to build an oil pipeline from the Megion oil field to the city of Tyumen in the Omsk region via Surgut, Salem and Berezovka.
There are pros and cons to both options, and we know that both governments have made adequate preparations and are actively seeking to build pipelines in their jurisdictions to drive their own economic benefits.
However, the People's Commissariat of the Petroleum Industry and the People's Commissariat of Construction do not have a very in-depth understanding of the implementation of the preparatory work, as well as the economic and social situation in the two places, so we would like to know the specific situation from the two (Manturov and Ustnova). ”
"Comrade Manturov, please tell us about the state of readiness of the Novosibirsk region, and the basis for the struggle." Construction People's Commissar Ginsburg intended to give Manturov a chance to strike "first".
Manturov looked at the notes and asked Anna to take out their documents, saying: "In terms of preparation, the basic construction of our refinery facility in the Novosibirsk region has been completed, and a number of professional engineers have been invited, and even experts from the Novosibirsk State Technical University are involved in the maintenance and expansion of the refinery facility. So, in terms of the industrial base and human resources, our Novosibirsk region has a large advantage.
In terms of construction difficulty, the construction of oil pipelines along the banks of the Ob River can use ships to transport construction materials, so that the cost of transportation is relatively low, and the efficiency of transportation is relatively high.
At the same time, it is also possible to use the method of pre-construction, to make several sections of pipelines 10 to 30 meters long in the factory on the banks of the Ob River in Novosibirsk, and then send them to the construction site on the banks of the river by cargo ships for assembly, which can also speed up the construction more effectively and reduce the consumption of manpower......"
After listening to Manturov's views, all the participants present in the room, on the Moscow side, nodded affirmatively and expressed their praise for the Hero of the Soviet Union, the Hero of Socialist Labor.
"Comrades, in my opinion, the preparations of the Novosibirsk region are not at all sufficient. Moreover, judging by the current conditions of the Novosibirsk region and the city of Novosibirsk, they simply cannot and do not have the conditions to develop an oil refining industry of sufficient scale. Veronica Ustnova's astonishing words not only frightened Manturov and Anna, but also surprised Kaganovich and Igor of the Ministry of Oil, as well as Professor Ginsburg, the Minister of Construction.
