The first target plane, early July 1944, Liaoning Province, Yanhuang Continent.
On the outskirts of Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning Province, a living area of the Japanese Redemption Group is centrally controlled, and it is known as "No. 301 Dormitory" to the outside world. There were about 30,000 Japanese prisoners and workers living here, and the ratio of men to women was roughly 1:1:1. Because it is close to the Tiexi District of Shenyang (Dongfang Ruhr Industrial Zone), most of the members of the atonement group here are Japanese workers who came to Yanhuang from the Japanese Invaders. At the beginning, in order to gradually digest and annex the northeast of Yanhuang and take into account the enthusiasm of its own workers, the Japanese government specially sent hundreds of thousands of industrial workers with their families in batches.
Although the little devils did not find oil in the Yanhuang Continent at the beginning, it does not mean that they have given up on developing the oil refining industry in Yanhuang. In view of the small size of the Japanese country and the high pollution of the petrochemical industry, according to the idea of the Hideki Tojo cabinet and others, the Japanese plan is to build a super-large petrochemical base near the sea in the Yanhuang and Bohai Seas, which is protected by both the Korean Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula. As a result, after its completion, it can rely on the oil resources of Southeast Asia to process and refine the crude oil shipped to the petrochemical base to produce the needs of the Japanese army stationed in Yanhuang and the combined fleet naval vessels, and at the same time save the need for large quantities of oil tankers required by secondary transportation (if processed in the Japanese mainland). In addition, Tojo and others did not really believe in the international assertion that the vast territory of the Republic of Yan and Huang was an "oil-poor country", and they firmly believed that oil reservoirs definitely existed, but they had not yet found them. Only because of the war, there is not enough time to send a large amount of manpower and material resources to Yanhuang to explore all parts of Yanhuang.
However, when it comes to the petrochemical industry, most of the Yanhuang people in the later generations know a little, such as: oil is the blood of modern industry, oil futures are risky and profitable, and every time the Yanhuang Development and Reform Commission raises and lowers the price of refined oil products, it affects the hearts of car owners. However, I am afraid that many people do not understand the more specific, detailed and detailed division of the petroleum industry.
In the later generations of the main plane, only one branch of the petroleum machinery industry is a huge category, it has more than 100,000 products, each of which involves at least one production process and equipment technical requirements. In later generations, many small business owners in Yanhuang relied on the hundreds of thousands of commodity petroleum machinery markets to support their families and make a fortune (of course, no matter how 'fat' they are, they are only at the level of drinking 'soup', and their bones and meat are taken up by "three barrels of oil"):
Some private enterprises do the hardest and most tiring casting work, they use electric furnaces, try their best to ensure that more than 1000 degrees of steelmaking furnaces do not have safety accidents (but in actual production, due to backward management methods, safety equipment, measures and processes exist in name only, Yanhuang domestic small factories often have large-scale scalds and even the whole living people fall into the steelmaking furnace of evil pieces); Some enterprises are engaged in intermediate link processing, they buy more than a dozen machine tools, and then purchase blanks for machine tool finishing and then selling; There are also those who are bold and fat, dare to think and dare to do, and they poach people from state-owned enterprises with high salaries, focusing on drilling rigs, which are the most technical and profitable part of petroleum equipment.
Through hard work, eating, drinking, and bribery, small business owners have all developed a good ability to survive in society: they will have a good relationship with the electricity bureau and make some fuss about the factory's ultra-high monthly electricity bills; They will balance quality and cost to ensure that the size error of the factory product will not be too large, but they will never strive for excellence; They can ensure that the alloy composition must be there, and the heat treatment index must be normal, but they will recover the cost in the product life because of the low selling price. In short, after more than ten years of development, the private bosses and the three barrel oil giants have already formed a tacit understanding, the giants do not do small parts, small factories do not do large parts, and the Chu River Han Jieqiu has no mistake (small pieces are tool products, which are labor-intensive products, and the giants have no advantage in cost; Large items refer to pipes and large equipment, which require a lot of capital, technology and patents, and small factories can't do it).
In the first target plane, due to the early production of Daqing Oilfield more than ten years in advance, the demand for petroleum machinery products is almost unlimited. Although Wang Fan relies on the huge production capacity of later generations to ensure the supply of 100% machinery and equipment and parts, no matter what the considerations, it is very necessary to establish a mature and complete petrochemical machinery industry chain in the first place. Therefore, the daily production tasks of the "301 dormitory" are very "arduous".
Ota Cang, a 41-year-old Japanese worker in the "301 dormitory", responded to the call of the "East Asian Holy War" and the orders of his superiors two years ago, and brought his wife and children to the Yanhuang Continent to contribute his strength to the Japanese Empire. Earlier, the Japanese invaders in the Yanhuang offensive in the years when the bamboo, the days of the Ota Cang family in Shenyang can be described as comfortable and leisurely, because Ota Cang is a high-level Japanese petroleum machinery technician, so its accommodation conditions and salary level are among the top in the peers, he and his wife and children live in a single-family building in Shenyang, and employ 2 Yan Huang long-term workers, responsible for the cleaning, weeding, cleaning and other work of the small villa.
After the Yanhuang Communist Party recovered from Northeast China, Ota Cang was assigned to "Dormitory No. 301" with his family because of some skills, and the three of them lived in a small unit of 8 square meters, using public toilets, public baths (bathing twice a week in summer) and public canteens. Every day, Ota Kura gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning, starts work at 7 o'clock, gets off at 7 o'clock in the evening, and turns off the lights in the dormitory at 9:30 o'clock in the evening, and life is very regular and boring. Although the huge gap in living standards in a short period of time made it difficult for the Otakura family to adapt, the instinct to survive and the obedience and patience unique to the people of Wako Island made the Otakura family quickly take the initiative to adapt to this great change. However, adaptation does not mean that you are happy and have no ideas, especially after enjoying your own superior living environment. After all, according to the Red Party's policy towards the "atonement group," they had to serve 20 years of compulsory service before they could atone for the crime of aggression against Yanhuang.
At 10 p.m., the cottage where the Otakura family lives.
"Ota-kun, are you asleep?" Afraid of disturbing her son, Michiko, Otakura's wife, asked in a low voice.
"Not yet, what's wrong, Michiko?" A tired Ota replied.
"Today, the factory organized us to visit the residence of ordinary people in Yanhuang, according to their docent, the area is more than 120 square meters, which is equivalent to 15 times the size of our hut." Michiko organized a language sermon, "The commentator also said that every Yanhuang citizen can now get such a house for free, and only need to pay a small amount of public housing rent every month to live forever. ”
"Well~ I've also heard about the visit, and it seems to be our turn to visit the factory next week."
"The people of Yanhuang are so happy, I feel that their government is considerate of them, housing, transportation, education, medical care, everything has been considered. And we have to work here for 20 years without any pay to be free again. Ota-kun: You say, in the future, when we are really free and return to China, will our government still accept us? Michiko, who also received a modern education and has her own ideas, asked.
"This~~" Ota Cang hesitated a little when he heard this, because he had a relatively complete education, Ota Cang knew very well what kind of huge disadvantage his country was in. According to his thoughts, it remains to be said whether the country will continue to exist in the future. Besides, even if they exist, what kind of eyes will they, the Japanese expatriates who have served in Yanhuang for 20 years and have been deeply branded with the mark of Yanhuang, encounter with their compatriots? How is it treated? It's really hard to say. Especially at that time, I was already 61 years old, and I had no use value at all (in general, the more educated people are, the more likely they are to think more about themselves).
"Ota-kun, I'm so afraid, I'm afraid that we will become 'unwanted people' and 'superfluous people' in the whole world in the future."
"It's okay, Michiko, with me, it won't be like that, don't worry, it's not early, go to sleep." Otakura, who had nothing to do, had to speak as comforting as he could.
That night, Ota Cang stayed awake all night.
A few days later, Otakura accompanied other workers to visit the residence of the Yanhuang people. Looking at the bright living room, the beautiful dining room, and the comfortable living room, Ota Cang's heart overflowed with the same envy and jealousy. In the words of the fluent Japanese tour guide sent by the Yanhuang government, the sharp-minded Ota Cang suddenly heard a few words that made his heart throb: teaching, making up for the merits, contributing points, and early release.
According to the narrator's introduction, if the members of the "Atonement Group" have the skills and talents that are more urgently needed in Yanhuang (such as engine assembly experience, various exclusive skills in welding, etc.), and teach this ability to a sufficient number of Yanhuang workers through teaching, then according to the difficulty and importance of the skills, roughly according to the difficulty and importance of the skills, such as 500 people in the "real" church (referring to high proficiency mastery), the service period can be reduced by 1 year, then 5000 people in the church is a reduction of 10 years of service. Members of the "Atonement Regiment" can voluntarily sign up according to their own skills, and after passing the inspection skills, they can start teaching. Of course, it needs to be made clear that if his family also wants to be released early, then he needs to teach more people, such as the Ota Cang family of three, and he needs to teach 12,500 people (half of the children) to reduce the service period of the three at the same time by 10 years. Another thing that excites Otakura is that after the period of atonement, they can earn wages if they continue to work, and they are allowed to rent houses at relatively high prices in the residential buildings they have just visited.
Because of many years of work experience, Ota Cang naturally has several of his own unique skills and unique skills, coupled with the introduction of tens of thousands of petroleum machinery and equipment brochures issued by the Yanhuang government, Ota Cang believes that he can find the overlapping aspects of his best knowledge, so as to achieve "make up for the mistakes and release them in advance". Thinking of Otakura here, after returning home, he immediately discussed carefully with Michiko, and the next day, despite the strange eyes of most of the other Japanese compatriots, he and a dozen technicians who also had real kung fu walked briskly to the east of the "No. 301 dormitory", which had just set up an open reception and interview room.
Gradually, the Japanese people, who had always been known for their unity, began to split internally.
