Chapter 241: Comrades-in-arms reminisce
The city of Mbeya was the first to act, and because of its early development, the industrial system of Mbeya is the most complete in the whole of East Africa.
"The director of the Cavendi factory, this is the German technical expert Kremers and his team, and they are responsible for the new bearing design this time, you see, this is a sample."
A small bearing part is placed on the table, which is the bearing used on the bicycle, and it is finished by hand.
"Isn't this easy to process?" Cavendy said as he took the bicycle bearing and played with it in his hand.
"Hehe, the axle on the frame car is produced by your factory, and this one is a little smaller, so your factory can definitely produce it."
"Alas, Director Ledern, don't talk nonsense, don't you know the situation in our factory? At the beginning, it was taught by the experts, the factory was withdrawn as soon as it was built, and it took us half a year to get on the right track, and now those boys are really on the right track, but they, the cultural level is limited, and they are not suitable for new technologies at all. ”
Speaking of Dar es Salaam Bearing Factory No. 1, Cavendy suddenly had an idea: "Alas, isn't that right? You can go directly to Dar es Salaam Bearing Factory No. 1, why come to us, we have to go to Dar es Salaam Bearing Factory No. 1 every year to study? ”
"I know that you kid has to shirk, I know you have no culture, I am afraid that I can't take responsibility, but after so many years, the third bearing factory in Mbeiya City has the best development in your hands, that is, the first factory and the second factory can not be compared, I absolutely believe in you in terms of ability, besides, you are the factory director, is engaged in management, and is not to let you be a technician, what are you afraid of."
"You also know that I am an administrator, a little knowledge under the hand on the baby, but I am useless in the baby, the highest education in the factory are primary school students, no middle school, can only do some rough work, last year we arrived in Es Salaam a factory, they held a technology exhibition, said that our technology is a full ten years behind Germany, ten years ago our factory machines are the most advanced."
Don't look at the fact that compulsory education is basically universalized in East Africa, but it is impossible for East Africa to complete compulsory education at one time, and it will take decades for such a large investment in the Hope Project, and there is a fixed number of schools to be built in East Africa every year.
Moreover, the quality of education in many secondary schools is quite poor, especially in rural middle schools, many teachers may only read from the textbook, teach students according to the textbooks, and do not know some topics themselves.
As an important industrial city, the quality of education in Mbeya City is not bad, but the third bearing factory can not grab middle school students, and it is basically surrounded by a factory.
However, in recent years, the results of the first and second factories are not as good as the third factory under Kevendi, so the municipal government will definitely give more support to the third factory next time.
So Director Rydne said: "I know the difficulties of your factory, the first and second factories have changed several directors over the years, and there is also policy support, but the city is already very dissatisfied with them, and next year the middle school students will definitely give you priority." ”
Sure enough, hearing this, Cavendy instantly smiled: "It's good to say no earlier, my subordinates are short of capable people." ”
"I know that your kid is the master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, why didn't you go when the city transferred you to a factory as a factory director last year? The conditions of the first factory are much better than those of the third factory. ”
"Alas, squad leader, don't you know me, I'm a man! It's just nostalgic for the old, when I retired before, I couldn't bear our old comrades-in-arms! ”
Cavendy and Ledon both served in the East African Army, so the two were once comrades-in-arms, and had a friendship of life and death, although the main opponents in East Africa at that time were still the tribes on the grassland, and there was not much danger on the battlefield, but the conditions in East Africa at that time were also the most difficult, not even a decent road, and the East African Army often slept in the open air, and these large and small diseases were also suffered, sharing hardships and hardships in the same boat, supporting each other, and naturally feeling much better.
"Hehe, now the army is different from ours then, not to mention the beautiful construction of the barracks, the various facilities are also first-class, not worse than the city government, and the accommodation is comfortable, but the training intensity has been strengthened a lot, so it can't be said whether it is good or bad, now the training of the recruits, I feel unbearable, but now the food of the East African troops should be the best, the most oil and water, and the physical strength can keep up."
Although the East African Army had the Heshingen Military Academy and German veterans as the skeleton, it could not change the characteristics of the old East African Army at that time.
After all, the conditions in East Africa were really poor at that time, so Ernst could not follow the rules and suddenly turned the East African army into a disciplined "iron army".
Now that the conditions are good, especially for the East African Army, Ernst can be sure that the treatment in the national army is the highest in the country, and this is of course without regard to salaries.
With excellent conditions, the troops naturally could not accommodate as before, and the East African army was greatly renovated, especially the training and discipline were greatly improved, and the troops' faith was also strengthened, and they were loyal to the monarch and patriotic, obeying orders and obeying commands.
"You can't get in touch with the troops, and the current situation in the army is really hard to describe, especially a big boss like us, it's absolutely unbearable."
"What's the situation?"
"Now the health problem of the army is too strict."
"Hmmm! What's so strange about this, didn't we pay attention to hygiene in the first place? ”
When he immigrated to East Africa, he realized the importance of hygiene in East Africa, so he went ashore, that is, he got a haircut, took a bath, and changed into new clothes, and was later assigned to the army, and health was paid more attention, because there was always someone in the army to supervise, and he was called up early in the morning to brush his teeth, wash his face and fold quilts, and at night he had to go to the sink to wash clothes.
"Hahaha, we were at that time and now compared to the small, now the quilt in the army requires that it must be folded neatly, saying that it must be a tofu block, not a little wrinkled, I went to the barracks to visit, where the instructor took the ruler to measure, and if it didn't meet the requirements, the quilt would be thrown into the toilet."
"Isn't it hygienic? The toilet is so dirty. ”
"Now the toilet has changed, the ground is made of cement, it is smooth, and it is cleaned every day, you don't know, the ground must be wiped with a rag to make it bright, and it can be used as a mirror, and there is no smell at all."
"There are also requirements for the placement of items, which cannot be misplaced at all, checked every day, towels must be folded into boxy blocks, and then placed on the edge of the basin, and now the army is also equipped with toothpaste, specially used to clean the mouth, toothbrushes and cups, must be placed in a fixed position in the basin can not make a mistake at all, and the lockers are also matched, that is, the clothes must be neat and tidy......"
Cavendy listened with relish to the old comrades-in-arms describing the new changes in the army, of course, the industrial development of Mbeya City can provide such superior conditions for the local garrison, and some backward areas are still having a hard time.
The most difficult thing to do is the troops in the west, especially in the tropical rainforest climate area, where the environment is poor, the facilities are not perfect, and the distance from the developed areas of East Africa is also far away, and the transportation is not convenient.
