Chapter 25 New Apartments
With two pieces of paper in hand, Anna excitedly walked into Manturov's office. www.biquge.info"Comrade Secretary, this is a telegram from Moscow. Please take a look. ”
"Which department sent it?"
"One is from the Ministry of Defense Industry, and the other is from the Ministry of Heavy Industry."
"Needless to say, this point was sent by two comrades Kaganovich, probably about the military-industrial complex and the development of oil fields."
Anna put the message on the table and said, "You've guessed half right." These two telegrams were indeed sent by the Kaganovich brothers, but you did not quite guess the content of the cables. ”
"The one sent by my brother Mikhail should be about the military-industrial complex. The younger brother Lazar's share should be about oil field development, or steel-making, aluminum-making, machinery production, or something. Is it? ”
"Yes, the two of them are going to come here, and the younger brother, Comrade Lazar Kaganovich, is going to visit the metallurgical and machine-building factories and see the new technology you have invented. The elder brother, Comrade Mikhail Kaganovich, will visit the 153 aircraft factory, as well as the plot for the development of the military-industrial complex, as well as the 179 plant, which will be expanded to set up production lines for tanks and ammunition. ”
Manturov crossed his legs, rested his left hand on his cheek, and read the message carefully with his right hand.
In the past, whether it was a letter, a document or a message, Manturov could read everything in a very short time, and although it was not even ten lines at a glance, it could still meet the standard of five lines at a glance.
This time, however, the two messages he wanted to read were sent by the Kaganovich brothers. These two had a high position in the CPSU.
The younger brother Lazar was not only the minister of heavy industry, but also concurrently served as the secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, a member of the Politburo, a member of the Organization Bureau and other important positions, and was the second person in the CPSU at that time.
And the elder brother Mikhail, who is in charge of the defense industry sector. Although his power will continue to shrink, and he will later be demoted to Kazan as the director of an aircraft factory, this will be a few years later.
At least at the time, both brothers were inoffensible figures.
It took Manturov a few minutes to read the two pages of the message, and he had to think through every word, every punctuation mark, for fear of misunderstanding the meaning of the two great men, especially his younger brother Lazar Kaganovich.
"Anna Mikhalovna, help me arrange their itinerary and arrange their accommodation. Give them the best hotel, the best food.
Also, inform the comrades of the 153 plant, the 179 plant and the Novosibirsk metallurgical plant to get ready, tell them to arrange the route of the visit to the plant, and at the same time do all the safety measures to ensure that nothing goes wrong and there will be no accidents, understand? ”
"Understood. By the way, I have one more thing to say. ”
Manturov put down the message and looked into Anna's eyes. "Say it."
"The first batch of new apartments has been completed and is ready to be allocated to those who need it."
Manturov turned his gaze to the map of the city of Novosibirsk and asked: "Is it in the October district?" ”
"Yes, I went over and saw it yesterday after work, and from the outside, it was really good. It looks a bit like the characteristic buildings of Leningrad. But I don't know what the environment is like inside, because I haven't seen it inside. ”
"Very well, let's go over and see it in an hour."
……
An hour later, Novosibirsk, October District.
"Viladimo Fedorovich! Otaku gay! As soon as Manturov got out of the car, he heard his name being called, as well as the nickname he had been given by his classmates when he was a university student in Moscow.
Manturov pushed his glasses to take a closer look at the man's appearance. The man wore a crisp white shirt on the top and a pair of neat trousers on the bottom, plus a pair of black-rimmed glasses that scholars always have, which made him look dignified. Sven is dressed properly and has a hard hat, and he knows at a glance that he is a professional construction engineer.
Manturov recognized the man, he raised his right hand, pointed with his index finger at the man who called him his nickname, and said: "You are Kirill?" You are also a graduate of Bauman State Technical University? ”
The man nodded, walked over to Manturov, and gave him a friendly hug.
"Villadimore, it's been five years, and you're still this upright Sven, and your whole body still exudes that special temperament that is both revolutionary and noble."
"Friend, you complimented. Revolution is a good word for me. Pointing at Anna, Manturov continued: "But noble words...... It would be more appropriate to describe this lady. ”
Kirill looked at Anna, the noble and beautiful secretary, and at first glance he felt extraordinary. "Lesbian otaku, your girlfriend is beautiful!"
"Her name is Anna, and she's my secretary, not my girlfriend. There is no ambiguous relationship between the two of us. ”
"Friend, don't pretend. I think the relationship between the two of you is extraordinary. ”
Manturov smiled bitterly and said, "Kirill, this is really not my girlfriend, I have already married a wife." Anna also has a boyfriend, a major in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is also one of my best friends in recent years. ”
"I see. By the way, I heard that you became the secretary of the state party committee, is it true? ”
Manturov nodded and replied, "Really, as soon as I took office, I launched a huge housing program to solve the housing supply problem in this state.
Therefore, this prefabricated apartment was designed to be both practical and durable. By the way, you're an architecture major, what do you think of the apartment I designed? I would like to hear your professional opinion. ”
"It's called a Manturov apartment, isn't it? As soon as I heard the name, I thought of you.
Let's start with appearances. You added some of the exterior features of European architecture to the reinforced concrete building, including some simple but beautiful wheel corridors, and added bright colors to the exterior walls. It looks a bit like those gorgeous European-style apartments in Leningrad, and it feels quite attractive.
In terms of technology, the method of prefabricated building is also unprecedented, which greatly improves the efficiency of construction, saves labor and improves the quality of construction.
The construction method of pre-installing the structure in the factory and then transporting it to the construction site for assembly is less constrained by the climatic conditions, and the construction of the building module can be carried out without too much delay even in the cold winter and snowy days.
The prefabricated apartment you designed is not only convenient to build, but also beautiful, which is very in line with the needs of our country now. ”
Listening to the positive opinions of the architectural experts, Manturov was full of relief. "Thank you, friend, for your appreciation. In the past few years, because of my work, I haven't found time to get together with you. Today, we rarely see each other, so why don't we have dinner together and then come to my house and sit down. ”
"Okay. By the way, you're here to inspect the progress of the building, not to talk to me. Why don't I take you in for a spin now, and we'll talk about the rest of the topics in the evening. ”
