Chapter 133: Base Area Construction (I)
However, there were quite a few Kuomintang spies who came to the Soviet area, but with Mao Zemin, who used to work on the secret front, and Zeng Xisheng, a former intelligence chief, in charge, it was difficult for the enemy agents to exploit many loopholes. However, in the process of opposing special affairs, there were many cases where the wrong person was arrested due to excessive nervousness, but fortunately, Hu Weidong had already had instructions to "attach importance to evidence" and "try not to kill," so it did not make a big mistake, and most of them were let go after the trial. The rest of the people were also dealt with quickly after Hu Weidong's return, even if the suspicion was very large, as long as there was no conclusive evidence, they were all released immediately (after the return of the Red 15th Army, the Soviet area was safe, and the pressure of anti-special forces was relatively reduced. In the process, Hu Weidong was surprised to find that Wu Chien-shiung's father, Mr. Wu Zhongyi, was actually among them
Aside from the outstanding daughter who was later called the "Queen of Physics", Wu Zhongyi himself can be called a strange person, he graduated from a famous school in China in his early years, and later participated in the Xinhai Revolution, and returned to his hometown after the revolution to found the "Mingde Vocational Tutorial School for Girls" and achieved great success, and then participated in the development of the Hutai Highway, prepared for the establishment of the Hutai long-distance bus company, served as the chief of the car, the manager, and also commanded the armed merchant group to suppress the bandits, and made an important contribution to the economic and social security of the hometown. 28 "Songhu Anti-Japanese War, all the vehicles of the Hutai long-distance company were put into the transport of reinforcements, rushed to the front line of resistance against Japan in time, and was commended by the 19th Route Army, which shows its heart of serving the country with fists, and it can be easily used in many industries such as military strategy, economy, education, etc., and is definitely a rare talent in the poor and backward Republic of China.
Wu Zhongyi was a very enlightened person (historical fact), and after seeing that his daughter was safe and sound, his dissatisfaction with the Red Army disappeared, of course, thanks to the bloody battles of the Red 15th Army commanders and fighters in North China. It was precisely because they proved with practical actions that the Red Party was truly anti-Japanese that Wu Zhongyi, a staunch patriot, would support his daughter to give up fame and fortune to stay in the Soviet area and continue to engage in what Hu Weidong said was a secret study that was crucial to the future rise of China.
Except for Wu Chien-shiung, a daughter who has always been proud. Wu Zhongyi's eldest son, Wu Jianying, and second son, Wu Jianhao, were also very outstanding talents, and Hu Weidong, who was eager for talent, naturally would not let them go, and after obtaining Wu Zhongyi's consent, he immediately invited them to work in the Soviet area and appointed them according to their personalities, hobbies, and expertise. After a long talk, Wu Zhongyi, who loved the motherland incomparably, finally agreed to accept the appointment of the Soviet district government as the general manager of Xin'an Coal Mine
Although Wu Zhongyi has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, he can take charge of a company with reserves of hundreds of millions of tons (the total reserves of coal mines in Xin'an County exceed 3 billion tons, but at this time all of them have not been fully explored. He was still very happy. But he has only just taken office. had a dispute with Hu Weidong
It turned out that Hu Weidong asked Wu Zhongyi to send a mine protection team to shut down all the small coal kilns in Xin'an County, but Wu Zhongyi thought that this was to compete with the people, so Hu Weidong had to patiently explain to him the harm of small coal kilns to the environment and economy, and it took a lot of time to finally make him accept the concept that the mining industry should not be exploited indiscriminately. Although there was an objection at one time, after being persuaded by Hu Weidong. Wu Zhongyi was no longer soft-hearted, and resolutely suppressed some coal mine bosses who violently resisted the law, thus clearing the way for the healthy development of Xin'an Coal Mine. As a matter of fact, Hu Weidong also took a fancy to his understanding of military affairs and his experience in managing enterprises, so he specially invited him to take up this position
In the past few months since Hu Weidong left, the base has not only welcomed many talents, but also made great achievements in its own construction, but for Hu Weidong, who has always been a scientific and technological worker in his bones. Of course, what we are most concerned about is the achievements of science and technology and industrial construction. Among them, Hu Weidong was most pleased that the radio group led by Shu Xingbei had finally trial-produced the first radar in China; although for the time being it was too cumbersome, consumed too much power, and the accuracy was not satisfactory, but with this foundation, I believe that in the near future, the Red Army will certainly be able to have a new type of radar that is more in line with the needs of actual combat. This was of great significance to the squadron that did not have air supremacy during the Anti-Japanese War. In addition, Zeng Xisheng's automatic decoder project has also achieved preliminary results, the first prototype successfully and quickly deciphered the intercepted Kuomintang coded telegram, although considering the password is full of loopholes, this matter is not exciting, but at least it is a haode beginning, I believe that one day, they can develop a decoder that can decipher the devil's code. …,
As for other scientific research projects, although there have been no major breakthroughs for the time being, they are all steadily advancing, for example, the production efficiency of penicillin has increased by 50 percent during this period of time, and with the addition of new production capacity, even if the base area has more than doubled, it is enough to be self-sufficient, and in the past, it could only ensure the supply of troops, but now it can partially take into account the needs of civilians, which also laid a solid foundation for the gradual implementation of the universal cooperative medical system in the central base areas in the following year
Compared with scientific research work, Hu Weidong actually cares more about industrial construction, because during the Republic of China, there were still some scientific and technological talents, and the gap between the Shijie powers, including Japan, was a weak industrial base, and compared with the machinery and equipment that still had the means to be introduced, it was particularly lacking skilled jishu workers. In the past few months, while continuing to train more and more "lite" Jishu workers through the method of rapid mechanics, the Central Plains Base Area has also begun to establish regular vocational Jishu schools to provide them with further training, and has set up a large number of night schools to help them improve their cultural level and enhance their learning ability. After all, the war will always end, and then the economy will become very important, and if the large number of "lite" Jishu workers who have been trained by surprise training are still the same, they may be unemployed at that time because of incomplete work skills and low education level
In addition to desperately expanding the ranks of workers, the base industrial construction itself has also made great achievements, most of the machinery and equipment transported back from Shanxi have been put into use, only the steelmaking equipment is more troublesome, especially Hu Weidong has also changed some of the original design, and it will not be officially put into operation until the beginning of next year at the earliest, and considering the problem of raw material supply, the priority development of the base area is the mining industry.
