Chapter 23: Five-Year Plan
Bursts of words, bursts of soul fluctuations kept coming, Wang Lin's words not only made these people say up and down, but even began to feel that this Wang Lin was a little unfathomable, we have been living under his plan for four years, but few of us can feel this kind of planning, all we feel is that life seems to be better than before, and there seem to be more smiles on everyone's faces than before, that's all.
"Don't be surprised, there's no fuss about this, in fact, I'm just turning what I imagine in my head into reality through these four years, which is called planning, not any calculations or anything like that." Wang Lin knows what everyone thinks in their hearts, and although these people have been trained by their own schools, a person's thinking is not so easy to change, and it will take a long time to be edified in the future.
"Headmaster, just tell us what we're going to do next." Tang Fenghu is a soldier who stays in the army and military academy all the year round, and Wang Lin, who has been the commander of the First Army for a period of time, often goes to the barracks.
"Well, today I will give you a thorough explanation, before the second five-year plan begins, I think it is necessary for you to know where we are now. First of all, let's talk about the army, we currently have an army of only 10,000 people, and the arsenal is not one, and the weapons in our hands are all obtained by imports, which is not a long-term solution, but fortunately, we have already planned for this in the first five-year plan.
In a month or two, a medium-sized steel plant will be completed, and after the completion of this steel plant, we will go all out to develop the military industry, and with steel, our military industry will have the opportunity to develop. In addition, I have secretly set up a shipping company, which currently has five long-distance freighters of more than 5,000 tons, ten ships of more than 3,000 tons, and 20 ships of more than 1,000 tons, which will purchase all strategic materials for us. Wang Lin sighed deeply and said.
"Boss, do we really want to vigorously develop the military industry? I think we should be able to do something practical for the people under the current conditions, not to mention that we already have 10,000 troops in our hands, so self-protection should not be a problem, right? "Li Ping, who is in charge of the development of the industrial zone, is a young man, and after studying with the older generation for a few years, he has now officially taken over this position, but the only drawback is that this guy pays too much attention to people's livelihood and does not care about politics at all.
"Yes, our current strength is to do something for the people, and I want to do it too, but do others give us this opportunity? Do you think we're going to be here for long? If we do not take advantage of this opportunity to vigorously develop our own strength, then what awaits us in the future will be destruction, an army of 10,000 people, this is not the army in my heart at all, the establishment of the army in my heart should be an army of 56,000 people, the number of combatants should be about 54,000, and an army should also set up an artillery division, under the jurisdiction of a heavy artillery brigade and a mountain artillery brigade, as well as a howitzer brigade. There is also a baggage brigade. Wang Lin lightly said the army establishment that he had already set in his heart.
It is undeniable that the most excited among these people are Tang San, Tang Fenghu and Tang Zhiyun, because all three of them belong to the military, and this time the teacher mentioned the construction of the army in the future, it is exciting to think about it, an army is 60,000 people, but now it is five or six times, and what are the artillery divisions and baggage brigades, these two add up to 20,000 people, right? Add one piece, that's 80,000 people smaller.
"Boss, if you follow your ideas, then I think our current industrial zone will be closed, because the production capacity here simply can't support so many troops, as far as the current 10,000 troops are concerned, we feel a little nervous, if we increase the number of troops, I think we will enter the overload stage." Li Ping shook his head, he knew too well how difficult it was to feed an army.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, after all, this is all in the future, not to mention that I won't expand the army again until our territory is expanded, I know what the consequences will be if there are too many troops. But for the time being, all military spending will not be spent on the income of the industrial zone, and all military spending in the next five years will be spent by me personally. Wang Lin nodded and continued:
"Tang Yun, after the meeting, you will take your people, all over the world to find scientists for me, we who are willing to come will raise our hands to welcome, and those who are not willing to come have talents, even if you are tied up, you have to be tied to me, no matter what kind of scientist you are."
"Understand the teacher, the student will definitely complete the task." Tang Yun stood up and replied respectfully.
The next meeting was very simple, Wang Lin talked about his ideas in detail, and explained some of the details one by one, among which Li Ping asked the most active, whether it is the development of military industry or private enterprises, then human resources are needed, and he will naturally not give up if he can find a good job for the people.
In this way, in the following meeting, everyone decided that the following things will be completed vigorously in the next five years.
First, the establishment of a large steel plant, with an annual output of at least 200 tons or more, everyone who sat down again felt that there was difficulty, but in Wang Lin's view, this is simply a very low task, with Huang Wei and the steelmaking equipment they manufactured, now all they lack is ore.
2. Establish a large-scale arsenal, to put it bluntly, an ordnance industrial park, which includes a medium-sized rifle production plant, which is in charge of the production of rifles, a medium-sized bullet production plant, a medium-sized grenade production plant, a medium-sized artillery production plant, and a relatively new thing, a medium-sized automobile construction plant. Of course, the units that produce military uniforms and leather boots are not included in the ordnance industrial park, but continue to be produced and supplied by the original units in the same place.
3. The year before the construction of the arsenal, the army was overloaded by 20,000 troops, and there were 30,000 soldiers on the original basis.
Fourth, one year before the completion of the Second Five-Year Plan, the conquest of the entire Hainan Island was carried out and the complete domination of Hainan Island was carried out.
Fifth, two naval bases will be established to berth at least 10,000-ton warships. And focus on the development of the navy.
6. Establish at least three air bases on the entire island of Hainan.
7. Carry out the collection of offshore oil.
These seven articles have become the main development tasks of Wang Lin's second five-year plan after he was stationed in Hainan, and there are still some livelihood industries, but those have not been specifically written, after all, the second five-year plan is mainly for the development of military industry.
Of course, there is another important one, that is, the construction of roads, cement plants and sand and gravel factories have been completed in the first five-year plan, although the output is not too high, but it can start from Tangcun, slowly radiate to the surrounding areas, and the thoughtful plan is barely enough.
Not long after the meeting, everyone entered the stage of hard work, and after Tang San and the three returned to the army, they increased the training of the army, and also paid more attention to actual combat training. In order to complete the plan to expand the army by 20,000 in the next few years, Wang Lin deliberately agreed to the new military service system, which was also the first military service system on Hainan Island.
After three years of service, a soldier can retire and return to his home and work in a factory, and must not leave his sphere of influence for the next five years. In this way, the overload caused by the expansion of the army by 20,000 at once was solved.
Of the 10,000 soldiers, there are several thousand retired soldiers every year, and in three or four years, there are only more than 10,000 retired soldiers, and when the time comes, they will recruit thousands of soldiers to complete the task of expanding the army, that is to say, in a few years, they have successfully completed the tasks assigned by Wang Lin, and have not brought a heavy burden to the localities, and everything is under control. After the expansion of the army, only a few thousand soldiers are recruits, after half a year of intensive training, retired veterans can enter the best state, although the recruits are not necessarily able to fight, but after more than half a year of training, it is not good, and then it is not enough to transport supplies, right?
