In June, Novosibirsk has stepped into a beautiful spring. www.biquge.info The ice on the Ob River has completely melted, there is no snow on the road, the plants have grown leaves, and everywhere is full of life.

The greenery of Novosibirsk is well done, and as soon as spring comes, the whole city is plunged into a sea of greenery. This is not Manturov's personal achievement, in fact, the greening of the city has been done well before he took office.

And after he took office, in the cities of Novosibirsk, Tomsk and Kemerovo, the scale of greenery began to expand, and it was not difficult to see young, newly planted plants in the cities.

Of course, Manturov's political achievements are not as simple as greening a little, otherwise would he be worthy of his protagonist's halo? In just four months, both steel mills were already using the units he had designed, producing high-quality steel at the highest efficiency at the time.

In addition, several new factories are also under construction and ready to be put into operation. With the significant investment of the regional government, the expansion of three existing industrial facilities, including the largest in the Soviet Union, the Сибкомбайн Agricultural Machinery Plant, the Novosibirsk Metallurgical Plant and a food processing plant, has already begun. This was Manturov's early preparations for the Soviet-German war.

Among them, the Сибкомбайн Agricultural Machinery Plant is expanding a new large-scale workshop for the production of tractors. At the time of the expansion, the plant was already the largest agricultural machinery plant in the Soviet Union, with a market share of 70%.

They are capable of producing 30,000 tractors, 35,000 seeders and 25,000 harvesters per year. The annual gross production volume amounted to 110 million rubles, which at that time was already quite a huge amount.

But why expand such a huge factory? Is it necessary to monopolize the market of the whole Soviet Union to be satisfied? No, this is because the Soviet-German war broke out 3 years away, and at the time of the war, the tractor production line could be quickly transformed into a tank production line to supply tanks to the front.

According to Manturov's plan, in the event of the outbreak of war, the huge Сибкомбайн plant would be able to produce 40 armored vehicles per day for the supply of the front line. Of course, this goal is a bit exaggerated, and even Manturov himself feels that it is unlikely to be achieved.

The expansion of the food processing plant was to increase the production of canned food and supply the logistics of the army in the war.

In addition, the production line of the Zaporozhye Metallurgical Plant has been replaced with the "Future Unit" introduced by Manturov, and work has been carried out to expand it into a large metallurgical complex that will provide a large amount of metal raw materials for the production of weapons, especially tanks.

After the expansion, the Zaporozhye Metallurgical Plant was named in advance as the "Novosibirsk Metallurgical Plant (Новосибирский_металургический_завод)" as it is today. Thanks to the technological reforms of Manturov and the investment of the state government, it has become a super metallurgical facility with world-leading production capacity.

As a traverser, Manturov spared no effort in the development of industry in order to increase the strength of the Soviet Union in the Soviet-German war, reverse the situation of the previous rout, reduce casualties, and improve the logistics and supply of weapons to the Soviet army.

In addition to industrial development, he also put a lot of effort into agriculture. In various parts of the Novosibirsk region, a number of new collective farms were set up, taking full advantage of the fertile land of Novosibirsk and the susceptibility of natural disasters to increase food production.

One morning, Anna happily walked into Secretary Man's office with an important document in hand.

As soon as Manturov saw Anna's sunny face, he said, "Anna, why are you so happy today?" Yakov is proposing to you? ”

Anna's face began to turn red, and she said shyly, "No, the relationship between me and him has not developed to that point, and I still need some time to get to know him." I really don't understand why Katia married you so soon. ”

Manturov smiled mysteriously and said: "The relationship between me and her is not so short. Before we got married, a lot had happened between me and her, and a deep relationship had already been cultivated. ”

"Really? Why haven't I seen you with her before? ”

"These things are things that only the two of us know." True, these things are known only to Manturov and Katya. Even if he explained it truthfully, Anna might not believe it. He tried to change the subject and asked, "By the way, why are you so happy?" Can you share this joy with me? ”

Anna put the document on the table and said: "Comrade Secretary, this is the state mineral resources exploration report, and the data in it are all beyond my expectations, it turns out that our Novosibirsk region has so many strategic resources. ”

"Really?"

"Yes. There are two billion tons of oil alone, and there are quite a lot of metals such as gold, aluminum, and titanium. ”

This result, for Manturov, was expected. Before the crossing, as a fanatical Su fan, he had long known about the existence of a super oil field in Siberia, and this oil field is what we call the Tyumen oil field. At that time, the territory of the Novosibirsk region was three times larger than it is today, and its territory extended to the southeastern part of the present-day Tyumen oil fields.

The Tyumen oil field is actually a huge oil field and one of the few super oil fields in the world, the second largest in the world after the Middle East. At present, the recoverable oil reserves have reached 7 billion tons, and the prospective reserves have reached 40 billion tons, which is a considerable figure.

Originally, this super-oil field was discovered only in the 1960s, when it was named Tyumen oil field because the first oil field was located in several autonomous regions (Округ) of the Tyumen region. But under Manturov's guidance, explorers discovered a series of oil fields in the north of Novosibirsk in 1938, hence the name Novosibirsk oil field.

Manturov put on his glasses and carefully looked at the contents of the report. "The recoverable reserves are 2 billion tons, and the prospective reserves are 20 billion tons, which is really impressive. With this oil field, the economy of our Novosibirsk region has a new fulcrum.

Inform the Ministry of Heavy Industry of this momentous discovery, send this report to the People's Commissar of Heavy Industry, Comrade Lazar Kaganovich, and ask them to send someone to come and carry out the drilling. ”

"Yes!"

"Also, in Lake Samotrol, north of Nizhnevartovsk, there should be more oil reserves, according to my estimates, about 3 billion tons. Notify the explorers to explore there. ”

The Samotrol oil field is the largest oil field in the Soviet Union, with reserves of more than three billion tons, and it has a certain reputation today.

"Comrade Secretary, are you sure? How did you come up with this estimate? ”

Manturov smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't have to worry about that. ”

He pulled out a document and handed it to Anna. "Comrade Romanova, this document is very important, please help me check the wording and see if there are any problems. If not, then send it to Comrade Kaganovich. ”

Anna looked at the cover of the document, which reads "Proposal for the project of the Novosibirsk military-industrial complex".

"Military-industrial complex? Should this document be handed over to the Ministry of Defense Industry? Why give Comrade Kaganovich that? Isn't he the People's Commissar of Heavy Industry? ”

"In the Council of Supreme Ministers, there are two Comrade Kaganovich, one named Lazar, People's Commissar of Heavy Industry. The other, Mikhail, is in charge of the defense industry. I'm not wrong. ”

"Really? Are they two brothers? ”

"Yes, how did you find out now? Didn't you transfer from the Moscow Komsomol? Why don't you even know about these high-level cadres? ”

Anna smiled bitterly: "Secretary, you have said that I was transferred from the Communist Youth League, how can I know the personnel arrangements of the high-level government?" Besides, although I am your secretary and have been in contact with many cadres, I have never been exposed to anything related to the defense industry before, and these things are rarely mentioned in the newspapers. ”

Manturov crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Understood." From now on, you have to keep this in mind. The Novosibirsk region is located in the center of the entire Soviet Union and is far from countries that pose a threat to our country. In the event of a war, we will become a strategic rear here, providing strategic resources to the front.

Now, although there is no war in our country, Germany and Japan are already actively expanding, creating a certain threat to us. Before the outbreak of war, we need to increase the supply of strategic materials as much as possible to ensure that front-line soldiers have access to sufficient weapons and military supplies. ”

Soon, Anna spotted a problem. "However, we have now used up almost all of our resources to build new factories, apartment buildings, and all kinds of infrastructure. I'm afraid we don't have spare manpower and material resources for projects of the military-industrial complex. ”

"Then transfer all the free laborers who built residential buildings to participate in the construction of the military-industrial complex. In addition, the project of the National Center for the Performing Arts should be shelved first, because this project is not helpful to China's military development or people's livelihood, but it will cost us a lot of manpower and material resources. ”

Anna nodded, but the worried expression on her face did not change in the slightest. "Comrade Secretary, I also think that the project of the Grand Theater is unnecessary and should be shelved. But right now, the housing supply in our state is still very tight. A significant number of people still live in communal apartments, with an average of two to three families per apartment.

Moreover, tens of thousands of people still live in wooden huts and tabernacles outside the city. They live in poor conditions and have not yet been allocated decent shelter. If you repatriate all the workers who build residential buildings, how can you increase the supply of housing? ”

Manturov waved his hand lightly and said, "Mind it." Compared to Moscow, our situation here is already good. ”

Anna was disappointed by the young, promising, handsome and dashing state party secretary in front of her. She said excitedly: "Comrade Manturov, is the military industry really more important than the people's livelihood? Yes, the housing problem on our side is not so serious compared to Moscow, but do you think it is acceptable for two or three families to live in the same unit? ”

In fact, Manturov just wanted to tease Anna, and he never had the idea of giving up on the building plan. "Comrade, how can I ignore the development of people's livelihood? I will not give up on the housing project, on the contrary, I will expand the number and scale of housing construction. ”

"If all the laborers are transferred, how can we build houses? Call God for help? ”

"Actually, in addition to free labor, there are other labor forces at the disposal of the Novosibirsk region. Now, there are 180,000 Gula Camp prisoners in our state. Many of them have worked in construction before, and hundreds of them are professional engineers. We can use those people, with this huge labor force, to build new homes. ”

Anna paused for a moment, thinking that Secretary Man was joking. "Gula Camp prisoners? Are you serious? They are all criminals, do you really feel free to hand over the work of people's livelihood construction to them? ”

"Really. They are indeed criminals, but many of them are innocent, and most of them are fine. Instead of confined and suffering in the Gula camp, let them help participate in housing construction and contribute to society.

In fact, during the construction of the Moscow Metro and the White Sea Canal, many prisoners of the Gula camp were also requisitioned. In the end, the project was completed as planned, and there were no problems in the process. ”
