Chapter 259: Resolute Attitude
Even if you add your own requirements to complete and expand the construction of Tanggu Port, and build Tanggu Port into a foreign port in North China, it will not take too many people. At least four or five years later, there is a limit to how much you need. And these two years were the peak period of the first few batches of students studying in the Soviet Union. There is still no problem in meeting this need.
What Yang Zhen means is that the most important thing for the North China Bureau now is to come up with a plan in accordance with the idea of taking into account national defense and people's livelihood. We should not build heavy industry with the aim of giving priority to military affairs, as the Soviets did, and we should pay attention to adopting the ideas and methods of using the people to support the army and to use the army for the people.
Although it is still necessary to focus on the planned economy for the time being, it is still necessary to pay attention to adopting the method of integrating military and civilian use. In wartime, it is necessary to focus on the military industry, but these factories cannot only produce military products. Relying solely on military orders, it is difficult to meet the needs of the development of the factory in peacetime. Yang Zhen means that the planned economy should be adopted for the time being, but in the long run, it should still be market-oriented.
To carry out industrial construction, we cannot use a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and we can make up our minds with a pat on the head. In the construction of light industry, when necessary, we can adopt the method of export-oriented economy with quick results and export as the main goal. When formulating industrial development plans, it is necessary to have a systematic, scientific, and most importantly, long-term plan.
When engaging in industrial construction, we must not lead outsiders to lead insiders, still less can we engage in leadership intentions greater than one thing. First, we must seek truth from facts and respect the laws of science. In carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction, it is necessary to carry out a strict financial auditing system and improve a modern financial system.
At present, after the seizure of Pingjin and eastern Hebei, the entire industrial base of the North China base area is far better than that of North Manchuria. And North Manchuria, which has now laid the foundation, can also support the industrial construction of North China on a certain extent. At least the steel used in construction and some machinery and equipment, Northeast China can support North China.
However, since it is still in a period of war, industrial construction should still be dominated by the military industry. First of all, it is necessary to at least partially satisfy the light weapons and ammunition used by the various units in the customs and some of the heavy weapons and ammunition. In particular, the use of large quantities of 7.92-mm rifle machine gun cartridges, as well as 9-mm submachine gun cartridges, as well as the creation of qualified grenades.
Judging from the current industrial base of the entire North China, in addition to raw materials such as propellant and shell copper, the production of ammunition is still guaranteed. Tianjin Dagu Naval Repair Institute, originally a shipbuilding factory, has long been completely turned into an arsenal of the army.
Before the war, the light weapons and ammunition used by the 29th Army stationed in Pingjin were all produced by this naval arsenal, except for imported ones. In addition, the North China Front of the Japanese Army in Beiping belonged to several so-called repair factories with the ability to manufacture some light weapons.
Judging from the current foundation of these factories, if they can add some more equipment and raise the production level, they can partially meet the needs of the troops in North China, and there is still a considerable guarantee. Yang Zhenjian concentrated these factories and moved the parts that were used for the production of weapons and ammunition to Taiyuan, which has a good military industrial base.
However, Yang Zhen did not build a base area in North China, and now immediately produced light weapons on his own. In Yang Zhen's view, with the change of the shape of war, the manual rifle used now is destined to be eliminated. In the case of the exchange of Soviet trophies, as well as the captured Japanese light weapons, and completely sufficient to meet the needs and have a certain inventory. The continued production of these manual rifles is somewhat wasteful.
The most important thing for the North China base area at present is to train technical personnel and improve the technical level of the workers in preparation for the production of new weapons after the war. Just like the automatic rifles, squad machine guns and general-purpose machine guns currently used by the Anti-United Nations. In order to lay a good foundation for a large-scale refitting of the whole army.
At present, the North China base areas can first refurbish second-hand weapons shipped from the Soviet Union as a starting point for their own production and manufacture of weapons. Adopt a light-hearted approach and use the refurbishment and maintenance of light weapons as the starting point for a real start. We will do our best to improve our production technology and capabilities, and lay a good foundation for building a real military factory in the future.
At the same time, Yang Zhen also established that the central government should become a unified department, responsible for managing the industrial production of the major regions. Change the situation in the past in which the major regions are fighting in silos, so as to mobilize and coordinate resources in a unified manner. First, in particular, there is a great shortage of engineering and technical personnel and military raw materials, that is to say, we should concentrate our efforts on doing great things as much as possible.
However, Yang Zhen also said that he hoped to choose a place in Hebei and establish an aircraft factory, even if it was better to establish an aircraft maintenance plant first. At present, the shape of the entire North China battlefield is very different from the past. The combat planes transferred into the Guannei by the Anti-United Nations Air Force require a great deal of repair and maintenance.
Moreover, in the future North China battlefield, the investment of the air force will also be large. When all aircraft cannot be repaired by ground staff, they will be transferred to the Northeast for emergency repair. This will not only increase the pressure on the Northeast, but also affect the attendance of combat aircraft.
North China can consider starting with the maintenance of aircraft and eventually building an aircraft factory. There are other heavy weapons, and the same should be true in this regard. Start with maintenance and increase efforts to train skilled workers. Then to the gradual transition to in-house production.
At this North China Industrial Conference, Yang Zhen's idea was supported by the vice chairman and several CEOs. And the party economist who is currently the chairman of the Northeast People's Government also agrees with Yang Zhen's idea of relying on the existing industrial base in North China to first solve the problem of the use of light weapons and ammunition by the troops in the Guannai.
The party economic expert in charge of the economy of the Northeast knows very well that the current production capacity of the Northeast industry has been used to the extreme. The huge consumption of ammunition required for the continuous war has somewhat overwhelmed the various arsenals in the Northeast. One qiē work revolves around war, and there is nothing wrong with this time and age.
But now the entire industrial base of North Manchuria is far from reaching the condition of sufficient strength. The huge demand for ammunition in the whole army is really a little overwhelming. Although food and other supplies were exchanged from the Soviets for their booty on the battlefield, the light weapons and equipment of the Kannai detachment were temporarily not supplied to the Northeast.
The amount of ammunition that can be exchanged is not enough to meet the needs. After the North China troops were reequipped, this firepower was not the same as in the past, but the consumption of ammunition was also far greater than in the past. It all depends on the supply from the Northeast, plus it is necessary to ensure the ammunition needed for the anti-United Nations operation. The current North Manchurian arsenals are really overwhelmed.
In this battle, more than 800,000 rounds of mortar shells were consumed alone. Mountain artillery shells and howitzer shells of various calibers, plus recoilless artillery shells and rockets, the consumption of artillery shells inside and outside the customs has reached more than one million rounds, and this is not counting the consumption of tens of millions of rounds of light weapons and ammunition.
In the second half of the entire fourth or third year, the ammunition produced by various arsenals in North Manchuria was fully produced, and nearly eighty percent of the ammunition was consumed in this battle. If the base areas in North China are concerned, they can solve part of their ammunition needs on their own. Even if it is only rifle and submachine gun bullets and grenades, this will greatly reduce the burden on North Manchuria.
Moreover, North China is at least partially solving the problem of self-solving weapons and ammunition, and it is not without that condition. First of all, the largest arsenal in the whole of China, the Taiyuan Arsenal, after the fall of Taiyuan, the future and the evacuated workers and equipment, are now in their own hands.
In addition, the Dagu Naval Repair Institute, which was actually already an arsenal in Tianjin, the North China Dispatch Army's repair station in Beiping, and the relatively complete chemical industry base in Tianjin and Tangshan. Although some raw materials still need to be dependent on the outside world, there is no problem in the manufacture of light weapons and ammunition.
The chairman of the Northeast People's Government directly proposed that if Yang Zhen's construction yì got Tong Guò. The People's Government of Northeast China may, in the shortest possible time, allocate a batch of machinery and equipment to North China in order to strengthen North China's military production capacity. If technical personnel are needed, Tohoku can also fully cooperate. At the same time, the Northeast can add 1,000 trucks to the North China base area to meet the needs of North China for short-distance transportation capacity.
Taking into account the problem of funds, the northeastern side can first squeeze out 10,000 taels of gold from the four-year budget to support the industrial construction of the base areas in North China. That is to say, according to the meaning of the chairman of the Northeast People's Government, North China wants to build industry, and the Northeast side wants funds for funds, manpower for manpower, and equipment for equipment.
At the insistence of two people, although it caused a lot of controversy. But in the end, with the support of the chairman and vice-chairman, the work plan for the next two years in North China was agreed. Moreover, the central government has also given support to North China as much as possible in terms of personnel.
In fact, at the North China Work Conference, the biggest controversy was not in industrial construction, how to go next, or other things. It is the treatment of the higher education run by the enemy in Pingjin and Tianjin, as well as the handling of the entire occupied area of North China, because of its special identity.
Yang Zhen's idea was to establish a comprehensive university on the basis of the pseudo-Peking University on the basis of Professor Liuping when the universities in Beiping moved south, so as to cultivate talents for the entire industrial construction of North China. Except for a few professors who teach at the puppet Peking University, the crime of traitor will not be prosecuted first.
The students of the puppet Peking University will be screened and dealt with by the students who will work for the Japanese puppet regime and act as spies to spy on the students' intelligence. The rest of the students remain in their place and can continue their studies. For students who have already graduated, after the professional qualification examination, they will be recognized for their student status after changing their graduation certificates.
On the controversy over whether this pseudo-Peking University should continue to be retained or revoked, Yang Zhen's attitude is very resolute. The university can change its name, and it can also be prosecuted for certain crimes of treachery by certain professors. However, we cannot kill them all with a stick, and schools cannot be revoked, not only cannot be revoked, but must be expanded.
As for Fu Jen University, Yang Zhen meant to reduce the size of the seminary. The faculties of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences were changed from the Holy See to direct government funding. The high-ranking intellectuals of the more than 2,000 foreigners who had been rescued from Weixian, a concentration camp specially used by the Japanese to hold foreign nationals in the occupied areas, were recruited into the university on a hiring basis.
However, this appointment and salary cannot be issued by the Holy See, and all of them are issued by the North China People's Government. Yang Zhen meant that under the current special circumstances, the status quo of the university should be maintained for the time being. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, depending on the changes and development of the international situation, the university will be dealt with.
The retention of the puppet Peking University and the fact that most of the professors who teach at the puppet Peking University, except for those who are indeed guilty of traitors, will not be prosecuted for their traitorous crimes, and will remain in their posts to continue to serve as professors, has caused a great deal of controversy at the North China Work Conference.
Yang Zhen's resolute attitude on this matter made many senior cadres attending the meeting very incomprehensible. But Yang Zhen did not give an inch in this matter, and even slapped the table with the Minister of Social Affairs of the Jinchaji Branch and quarreled for a long time because of this matter.
