Chapter 205 Preparation for the Establishment of Kang Da
Combined with the information of later generations, Zhang Cheng found the famous dolomite iron ore area in the later generations 150 kilometers north of Baotou, as far as he knew, it was also the "rare earth capital" of later generations, and it was one of the most important industrial bases in China.

Zhang Cheng marked the location and brought in technical experts to plan the construction of the Baotou Iron and Steel Plant near the Baiyun mining area in the future.
After busy with the site selection of the steel plant, Zhang Cheng began to select the site of Baotou Airport. In order to receive aid from the Soviet Union, the central authorities specially ordered Zhangcheng to build a new airfield in Baotou so that planes from the Soviet Union could take off and land in Baotou.
After a careful investigation, Zhangcheng set the airport in an open space outside the south of Baotou City, near the Donghe ferry. Subsequently, he organized the prisoners and the people nearby, plus the officers and soldiers of the small column, and quickly threw themselves into the work of establishing the Baotou airport.
It's just that the foundations of the steel mill and Baotou Airport have not yet been laid, and Zhang Cheng received an order from the central government, asking him to return to Yan'an immediately and preside over the preparation for the establishment of Kang Da.
Zhang Cheng then remembered that he still had the identity of the vice president of Kang University. Zhang Cheng still attaches great importance to the honor of the vice president of Kang University, think about those famous founding generals, either teaching at Kang University or being students, you know how heavy the honor of the vice president of Kang University is.
On the afternoon of July 25, Zhang Cheng led the guard battalion back to Yan'an, and as soon as he entered the city, he was stopped by the commander's guards, saying that the commander wanted to meet him immediately, so Zhang Cheng followed the guards to the commander's residence.
Sister Jiao Yang led Zhang Cheng into the commander's study, and as soon as she entered the door, she found that the commander, deputy commander Zhou, Comrade Luo Fu, Lin Shuai and other leaders were impressively listed.
After Zhang Cheng came, the commander called him to sit next to him and told him: "We are talking about Kang Da now, Zhang Cheng, you are responsible for preparing for Kang Da, do you have any regulations for Kang Da?" ”
Suddenly asked about Zhang Cheng's resistance to the university, he didn't know where to start for a while, but fortunately he had an idea, remembering the inscription of the commander in history in the resistance to the university, so he told the commander: "Commander, I suddenly remembered that you once said: 'firm and correct political direction, hard and simple work style, flexible strategy and tactics', I think it is also excellent to use these words as the school spirit of Kang University." ”
The commander couldn't remember whether he had said these words for a while, but he thought of these words with a sense of familiarity, maybe the words he had said and forgotten were firmly remembered by Zhang Cheng.
At this time, Deputy Commander Zhou patted his thigh and exclaimed: "These three sentences are summed up so well, and they are used as the school spirit of Kang Da compared to the school spirit inscription of the Huangpu Gate: 'Please go another way to get promoted and get rich, and don't enter this gate if you are greedy for life and fear of death', Zhang Cheng, you really have ideas!" ”
Zhang Cheng hurriedly said modestly: "It's all the commander's words that are good and thorough, I just use them." Commander, I would also like to ask you to write an inscription for this school spirit and leave a calligraphy. ”
The commander is a calligrapher, of course, this requirement is not a problem, soon splashed ink, a write-up, after the commander felt as if there were some omissions, and wrote out the "unity, tension, seriousness, lively" eight-character school motto.
Zhang Cheng took the two inscriptions, looking like a treasure, which caused everyone to laugh.
Then Deputy Commander Zhou asked: "Zhang Cheng, the school spirit and motto of Kang University are there, so where are you going to establish it?" And how much money was used to build this school? You must know that although we still have some surplus in our financial funds, saving has always been a fine tradition of our Workers' and Peasants' Party, and I do not advise you to build Kang Da too luxuriously. ”
Zhang Cheng thought about it, and then thought that Kang Da was built in Wayao Fort in history, and he didn't bother to find another place, so he said: "The school site has been selected in the stable Wayao Fort, where there is a Miliang Mountain, we can organize teachers to dig a cave on the mountain as a school building, and there is also a landlord's compound that has been confiscated by our army, which can just be used as a school field, which does not cost a few dollars." ”
Zhang Cheng did not mean to do a special thing in a big way, and the more Kang Da was established in a poor and backward place, it could show the simple style of the Workers' and Peasants' Party. Moreover, after the victory of the revolution in the future, Kang Da can also become a revolutionary historical site and generate income for the local government as a tourism resource.
Deputy Commander Zhou nodded and smiled: "Then you don't need to save too much, the money that should be spent still has to be spent, the trainees are either middle and senior cadres from the army, or progressive young people from home and abroad, we can't be too bad." ”
Zhang Cheng laughed and said: "Deputy Commander Zhou, don't worry, I will also live in Kang Da myself, no matter how hard I am, I won't suffer myself, haha." ”
Deputy Commander Zhou asked Zhang Cheng again, does Kang Da still need any talents to become teachers? Zhang Cheng said that it was all up to the central government's arrangement. Deputy Commander Zhou nodded when he heard this, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Zhang Cheng.
After eating at the commander's house, Zhang Cheng returned to his temporary residence in Yan'an with the ardent expectations of the leaders and the two ink treasures of the commander.
Fortunately, Zhang Cheng was not fighting alone, and after Zhang Cheng rested for one night, he and Luo Ruiqing, the director of education, Yang Shangkun, the director of the Political Department, and other teaching cadres went into the busy preparatory work.
During the day, Zhang Cheng and the instructors and students went to exercise together, in the afternoon, he dug caves and built teaching buildings with the instructors and students, and in the evening, he wrote teaching materials.
After a month of hard work, the school building and teaching building of Kang University gradually have a look, although it is not luxurious, but it looks neat, simple, atmospheric and beautiful, and the commanders and leaders who came to inspect are very satisfied.
On August 30, two days before the opening ceremony of Kang Da, Deputy Commander Zhou, Mr. Peng, Comrade Luo Fu and Lin Shuai made their last inspection on behalf of the Central Committee and the Military Commission before the establishment of Kang Da.
Walking along the perimeter of the school, the leaders found that the neat walls of the school were written in large red characters, and the fonts were all written by the commander in ink last month, and they were engraved on the walls by Zhang Cheng by a carver.
On the wall is written the school spirit: "Adhere to a firm and correct political direction, maintain a hard and simple work style, and adopt flexible strategies and tactics", and when you come to the school gate, it is the school motto written by the commander-in-chief: "unity, tension, seriousness, and liveliness".
After entering the school gate, there is the school's playground, which covers an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, and there is a football field and two basketball courts next to it.
After visiting the playground, everyone came to the two-storey teaching building, randomly selected a classroom to look in, and found that the walls around the teacher were painted with lime, which looked very white, and the windows were inlaid with transparent glass windows, and the sunlight shone in through the glass windows, making the whole classroom shine and bright.
Eight big red pen characters were written on the blackboard in front of the classroom, which were the eight big characters that Zhang Cheng "hated" when he was a child in his previous life: "Study hard and make progress every day."
At this time, Zhang Cheng looked at these eight words again, and there was no longer the original sense of boredom, but a kind of cordiality that arose spontaneously. Thinking of the days when he used to go to school, his heart was full of nostalgia and melancholy, and he couldn't help but sigh that time had passed and never looked back.
The desks and chairs in the teacher were all built by Zhang Cheng according to the appearance of the desks when he was in school in his previous life, and Deputy Commander Zhou looked at these brand-new desks, shook his head and said, "This desk and chair are so good." ”
Zhang Cheng didn't dare to agree, where is this good, compared with later generations, the desks of any rural primary school are ten times better than here.
Finally, I went to the school dormitory to check, the dormitories are all large bungalows, no different from the barracks of the military camp in later generations, a dormitory can accommodate 20 people, the beds are all wooden bunks, a chair per person, a table shared by two people, quilts, pillows, basins and other daily necessities have been prepared, and they are extremely complete.
As for the washrooms and toilets, they are shared by the collective, everyone is a soldier, so the requirements are not too high, and as for the sanitary situation, there is no need to worry about Zhang Cheng at all, and comrades who are lagging behind in their studies will "contract" the sanitation work.
After the inspection, Deputy Commander Zhou felt that it was okay, but he felt that it was too luxurious, and it did not conform to the arduous and simple style of our party; if the revolution was victorious, future generations would come to visit and find that we were in such good conditions, and they would still think that we were no different from the Kuomintang.
Zhang Cheng said in his heart: "You are completely worried, the school building in later generations is much more luxurious and luxurious than today's Kang Da." ”
