Manturov later learned from Kaganovich the ins and outs of the entire personnel transfer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is not only involved in Ginsburg and Manturov himself, but also Kaganovich and the People's Commissar of the Building Materials Industry Sosnin.

In January 1939, after the break-up of heavy industry, Kaganovich held the posts of People's Commissar of Transport and People's Commissar of the Fuel Industry, and after the People's Commissariat of the Fuel Industry was split into the Ministry of Oil Industry and the Ministry of Coal Industry, Kaganovich took over the Ministry of Oil Industry and has been in charge of both departments.

But with the development of the oil industry and the transport network, Kaganovich's workload became more and more large, and his health became worse and worse, and he could no longer serve as the People's Commissar of two departments at the same time. As a result, he had to resign from the post of People's Commissar of the Oil Industry.

Kaganovich's resignation left a vacancy in the position of People's Commissar of the Oil Industry, which was replaced by Leonid Antonovich Sosnin, People's Commissar of Building Materials.

Leonid Sosnin, who graduated from the Moscow Institute of Technology in 1934, later held a number of jobs related to industrial management, and in 1938 became deputy People's Commissar of Heavy Industry. It is undoubtedly an appropriate arrangement for him to take over as Minister of Petroleum Industry.

The former People's Commissar for Construction, Semyon Sakharovich Ginsburg, himself a graduate of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of Moscow State Technical University, later became a professor of reinforced concrete at the Institute. Compared with Sosnin, he has a deeper knowledge of building materials and also has experience in industrial management. Therefore, it is also a suitable arrangement for Ginsburg, who has both professional knowledge and relevant experience, to serve as the People's Commissar of the building materials industry.

Ginsburg left, and the original post of People's Commissar of Construction was naturally taken over by Manturov, the first deputy People's Commissar of Construction.

Although Manturov did not spend much time in the Ministry of Construction, during his tenure as first secretary of the Novosibirsk Regional Party Committee, he carried out many successful construction projects, accumulated a lot of experience, and won the title of Hero of Socialist Labor.

These credits are not the most important, but the important thing is that he has a special personal relationship with Kaganovic. As a result, at the meeting of the Politburo, he was nominated by Kaganovich, and Stalin also had a good impression of him, Molotov and Voroshilov, who were also members of the Politburo, were optimistic about this young man, and as a result, the proposal was adopted, and Manturov became the youngest People's Commissar.

"Comrade Manturov, is this really Novosibirsk?" Milan, Manturov's assistant, was amazed by the view from the plane window.

They were in a Li-2 (Soviet version of DC-3) airliner, circling over Novosibirsk.

For Manturov, the sight in front of him felt both familiar and unfamiliar. In just two months, the face of Novosibirsk has changed a little, there are several more large chimneys on the side of the industrial zone, and the factory buildings on the side of the military-industrial complex have taken shape.

In the city, a new phase of the apartment project has also been completed, with a Stalinist design on the outside, but a second-generation Manturovian apartment with a prefabricated construction method has risen in the Soviet district in the south of the city.

These changes proved that everything he had done before was worth it, and his successor, Chernenko, did not disappoint him.

And for Milan, who has never been to Siberia before, the scenery in front of him has broken his previous impression of the Siberian region.

He had the impression that Siberia was a barren and low-developed region. But in front of him, it is a highly developed metropolis. Although he was well aware that Novosibirsk had been developing rapidly in recent years, it was only when he saw it with his own eyes that he really felt the power of Soviet construction.

"yes, we're finally here. What a convenient plane, it takes only 10 hours to fly from Moscow to Novosibirsk. Manturov recalled the days when his position was too low to be eligible to fly: "In the past, when I was the secretary of the state party committee, I had to take a 48-hour train to Moscow every time. ”

"This is my first time flying and my first time in Siberia. Seeing the view of the city of Novosibirsk outside the window, I thought I had come to Stalingrad. Milan said excitedly.

"Really? How could it be so cold in Stalingrad? Manturov put on a black coat and kindly reminded: "Get dressed." The temperature here is 10 degrees cooler than in Moscow and Stalingrad. ”

A few minutes later, the plane landed at the Novosibirsk 153 aircraft factory.

At that time, there was no civilian airport in Novosibirsk, and only the runway of Plant 153 was available for aircraft to take off and land. It's not that the two regional party secretaries, Manturov and Chernenko, don't want to build airports, but because air traffic was not widespread at that time, and even if there were civil airports, there would be no flights to and from them.

On the same plane were Alexander Shekivich Yakovlev, in addition to Manturov, Milan and the crew, Deputy People's Commissar of the Soviet Aviation Industry and chief aircraft designer of the Yakovlev Design Bureau. If you have studied Soviet fighters, you may have heard his name, yes, he is the designer of the Yak series of fighters.

In fact, he was commissioned by the People's Commissar of the Aviation Industry Mikhail Moiseevich Kaganovich (the elder brother of Lazar Moiseevich Kaganovich) to set up a production line for the Yak-1 fighter at Plant 153 in Novosibirsk.

When the plane stopped, Yakovlev couldn't wait to get out of the cabin and was greeted with warm applause from the factory workers and management.

The director and party secretary of Plant 153 personally greeted Yakovlev, deputy minister of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and led him in the direction of the guest house, on the way to introduce him to the general situation of the plant.

The factory managers present all followed in the footsteps of the factory director and Yakovlev, formed a group of people, and slowly walked towards the guest house.

The workers who greeted them also quickly returned to their posts. The tarmac is back to being deserted before landing.

It was at this time that Manturov picked up the suitcase and, unhurriedly, accompanied by his assistant Milan, walked out of the cabin.

"Where's the guy who picked us up?" Milan looked at the empty tarmac, and his young face showed a look of nervousness and embarrassment.

"Let's go." With a calm demeanor, Manturov led Milan through one factory after another, through the baroque office building of Factory 153.

"Volodya, get in the car." As soon as he walked out of the office building and came to the square in front of Factory 153, Manturov heard a familiar voice. Looking ahead, Yakov was sitting in a brand-new ZIS-101B sedan, looking at Manturov, an old friend he hadn't seen for many days, with friendly eyes.
