Lin Jun's plan to go to Chelyabinsk for dinner had to be postponed, because just after eating Chinese food, the train was blocked by snow halfway, but fortunately, the amount of snow on the blocked section was not very large, and it was estimated that it would not be blocked for a few days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Without the mobilization of the commander, all the passengers of the car consciously got off the bus and joined the snow clearing army. When the train was just blocked, the conductor went to the box where Lin Jun was, and Comrade Commander informed the "most important" passengers in the train about the situation.

"Do you have a spare shovel?" -- This is the answer that Comrade Commander received.

After spending a long time on the train, it is also good to be able to work and move your body under the train, especially since there are dense forests and enthusiastic labor armies on both sides of the railway.

"Less than 50 kilometers to our right is the Yamantau Mountain, the highest in the South Urals, and in front of us is the Asia-Europe dividing line, which should be a few hundred meters away." Professor Bai Tuke next to Lin Jun said.

"Then there should be a boundary marker, right?" Lin Jun asked as he did it.

"Yes, I've seen it when I've passed by before. There are boundary markers on the side of every railway and road that crosses the Ural Mountains. ”

Lin Jun put the shovel in his hand on his shoulder, "Let's go, it's hard to get this, go and see." ”

"Then you wait, I'll go get the camera."

"You've got your camera, that's great." It's definitely memorable to be able to take a photo here.

After the two took the camera, they didn't take a few steps before they ran into the comrade train conductor, and it turned out to be a "three-person team".

I didn't walk a few hundred meters before I saw the 2-meter-high stone Eurasian boundary monument, and I crossed the boundary monument to Asia.

"Comrade Andrey, the boundary monument on the side of the Kazan-Sverdlovsk railway is even higher and bigger than this one, more than 3 meters. I've been working on the railroad for more than 10 years, and it's the first time I've stopped here at the boundary pillar. The commander said.

"Hehe, it's better to come early than to be called, let's take a few photos, and we have to go back early."

The 10 negatives in Professor Bai Tuke's camera disappeared in a few clicks, and the three of them took a few group photos, but unfortunately there was no tripod, so there was no way to take a group photo of the three of them together. After the photo was washed out, Comrade Professor would send it to Lin Jun and Comrade Commander, which made the commander happy for a long time, "There are not many opportunities to take pictures with the Heroes of the Soviet Union, and I must hang it on the wall of the living room in the future." Comrade Commander thought.

Two hours later, the wrecker truck, which had received news from Chelyabinsk and rushed to the snow site, had arrived at the snow point, and the railway department there had sent more than 500 people and a large number of tools to support it.

The railway wreckers not only cleared the snow on the road, but also fixed the I-beams on the ramps on both sides of the railway to prevent the snow on the mountain from sliding down to the railway, and the labor horn on the "construction site" sounded.

The labor army worked until midnight to clear the barricades, which was much later than Lin Jun expected.

"Hehe, it looks like it's still time to get to Chelyabinsk for breakfast." Exhausted, Lin Jun and Bai Tuke joked.

This time, Lin Jun was greeted at the railway station no longer by comrades from a certain factory, but by Berbav, chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Chelyabinsk Region, and other officials of the region.

"Comrade Andrei, welcome to Chelyabinsk for inspection."

Because it was Stalin who arranged the office to make a phone call to the Chelyabinsk side, Lin Jun's "inspection" attracted great attention from the local administration.

Lin Jun did not go to work as soon as he arrived in the first two places, but "obeyed" Belbav's arrangement and went to the Chelyabinsk Hotel to rest first. He was so tired.

In the afternoon, Lin Juncai, accompanied by local officials, inspected the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant. In the USSR, all large tractor factories had the potential to become tank factories, because at the moment of their creation there was such preparation. Although the current product of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant is agricultural tractors, it can be converted to tanks within a month as soon as it is needed.

The Chelyabinsk region has a strong industrial base, second only to the Sverdlovsk region in the Urals. Its ferrous and non-ferrous metal metallurgy, machine building, metal processing industry, chemical industry, mining industry, light industry, food industry, building materials production and power industry have a good foundation, and the production of machine tools, tractors, automobiles, trolleybus cars, railway equipment and agricultural machinery has long had a certain scale.

Lin Jun's "inspection" of this is just to "see", at his level, it is impossible to have any "constructive suggestions" for the development of the huge industry here, and a bad one may "add to the snake" and add chaos to the production here, which Lin Jun himself knows very well.

Because he was very clear about why he came and what he was doing here, Lin Jun just "asked more and talked less", which left a good image for local officials.

"What we need to do is to prepare for the conversion of important factories to the production of military products when necessary, and I have no opinion on the rest, hehe, the work of the comrades in Chelyabinsk is excellent, and I will report in detail to Comrade Stalin and the comrades of the Central Executive Committee."

Lin Jun has become accustomed to saying what these local officials want to hear and like to hear the most. Lin Jun also said another problem: we need to do a good job in the training of technical backbones, especially those researchers and skilled workers, and we must retain talents, and the same is true for managers. In this way, the Soviets could be prepared for rapid production when they needed it. If the excellent management personnel and production personnel are gone, then there is no way to talk about production.

The reason why Lin Jun said this is that he hopes to retain some talents for the Soviets, otherwise everyone will be "purged", and who will produce tanks and artillery at that time? But whether these leading comrades in Chelyabinsk will listen to it or not, only God knows.

In order to prevent this "God knows" from appearing, Lin Jun exercised his second right to inspect the day after he arrived, "inspected" the work of the prefecture "anti-rebellion" committee, and also spent two days consulting a large number of lists and materials of "anti-rebellion" personnel.

Lin Jun's arrival was like "a tornado" for the Chelyabinsk Regional Committee for the "Suppression of Rebellion", because in his opinion, more than half of the technicians and skilled workers suspected of sabotage could be released. Lin Jun's operation was clearly ordered by Stalin, but he would not have "acted recklessly" as he had done in Kharkov, but only gave some information to his comrades in Chelyabinsk about his experience in Khalkiv. Of course, it will take some time for the comrades here to digest the "advanced and correct" experience before they can apply it to practical work, but at least there is a "new guiding ideology."

When inspecting those special prisons, Lin Jun still said the same thing: it is wrong to think that the real crime of the enemy can be caught by torture, and this wrong and barbaric method can only be used by a fool!

Are the comrades in Chelyabinsk "stupid"? Of course they weren't, and the "special" inmates in the prison should have had a better time.

On the afternoon of February 16, 1937, Berbav and the officials below put Lin Jun on a train bound for Sverdelovsk. Because the original passenger train needed to be transferred, Lin Jun took the train to transport mechanical parts to Sverdelovsk, but an additional passenger car was added to the important inspector.

The train will first go all the way east to Kurgan, 300 kilometers away, and Sverdlovsk is more than 300 kilometers northwest of Kurgan, and it is estimated that it will arrive by the morning of the 17th.
