For Zhao Gang, the cadres of the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Military Region are relatively familiar. The cadre system of the military region is generally composed of four parts.
The first is naturally the team of the Tainan Military Region. Most of these people hold actual positions in the combat troops and are concentrated in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan columns, so Zhao Gang is familiar with the work of serving as political commissar. The second is to follow Tan Lin all the way from Yanzhou to work.
These people are either in the local government or in the political department of the military region.
Thirdly, the personnel brought from the headquarters by the Deputy Chief of General Staff basically serve in the military region headquarters, including the cadres of the agencies that were merged from the original Luxi Military Region.
These people occupy most of the positions at the middle level. On the other hand, local people have no representatives in the party, government, and military systems, and they do not form a hilltop. Even the proportion of the basic cadre group is not large, and they can only be united in the two big hilltop groups.
This abnormal cadre system is caused by the history of our party. Whoever leads the revolution will naturally form the leadership force.
Since the Deputy Chief of General Staff was not in Heze, Zhao Gang did not take office immediately. Instead, he first followed Zhou Weihan to familiarize himself with the situation. No matter what era you are in, if you want to do something, you must first understand the composition of the personnel.
Two days later, the deputy chief of staff rushed back to Heze and was very happy to see Zhao Gang: "Comrade Zhao Gang, welcome to work in Hebei, Shandong and Henan. How about these two days? You should be familiar with the situation!"
Zhao Gang understood that his transfer to Hebei, Shandong and Yu could not do without the strong support of the deputy chief of staff, so he was very grateful to the chief of staff and immediately expressed his intention to participate in the work immediately.
The deputy chief of staff smiled and said: "Okay, the base area is currently short of people and lacks people to coordinate the overall situation in every aspect. You came at the right time!"
"Now that the base area is undergoing major construction, Comrade Tan Lin's energy should be focused on local affairs. I think that in addition to serving as the political commissar of the column, you should also be given the title of deputy director of the political department of the military region and temporarily preside over the daily work of the political department!
"
"By the way, what do Comrade Zhang Yuanlan think about work?"
Zhao Gang originally wanted to say that he would follow the organization's arrangements, but Zhou Weihan knew his temper very well, so he directly said for him: "Comrade Zhang Yuanlan has been engaged in propaganda work. I think he can be assigned to the propaganda department of the military region and continue to do his job!"
The Deputy Chief of General Staff heard this and nodded: "Okay, you have thought it through quite carefully. What about your own wife's arrangements? If I remember correctly, Comrade Wen Qiang is a top student who graduated with an economics major. He cannot keep working in a nursery.
Bar?"
Zhou Weihan did not expect that the Deputy Chief of General Staff would ask such a question, so he could only explain: "Wen Qiang needs to take care of two children on weekdays. It is suitable to work in a nursery. Wait for another two years, when the children are a little older, then I will
Ask her what she thinks again!"
In fact, Zhou Weihan had selfish motives for Wen Qiang's work, and the two had a harmonious relationship. Wen Qiang had always tried her best to support Zhou Weihan's work. On the one hand, as Zhou Weihan said, it was because of the drag of his children, and on the other hand, he was a little worried.
Historically, the propaganda department and the economic department have been two departments with powers. The propaganda department is particularly important in serving ideology, and the economic department controls the country's economic lifeline. These two departments are the most prone to problems, especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Zhang Yuanlan's situation is not bad. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she can follow Zhao Gang in the military system to engage in propaganda work. However, once Wen Qiang engages in economic work, there is currently no clear separation between the army and local governments in the economic field, and Zhou Weihan can still take care of it.
However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, if Wen Qiang continues to engage in economic work, it is very likely that she will be transferred to the local system, and then some things will not be the final say of Zhou Weihan.
Out of this consideration, Zhou Weihan could only let his wife take care of the children at home.
As the top leader in the Hebei, Shandong and Yu base areas, the Deputy Chief of General Staff not only needs to coordinate the overall situation, but also needs to be responsible for some specific affairs.
Compared with other base areas, the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area has a shortcoming, that is, because it was established only a short time ago, it does not have a continuous hematopoietic arsenal.
A strong army must be supported by a strong logistical supply system. In the past, small battles could be made up for through seizures, but as the number of troops increases, it is obviously impossible to supply only through seizures without its own arsenal.
, the confidence is not strong after all.
The Jiluyu base area is vast and rich in resources, and all kinds of mineral raw materials are basically complete. Two months ago, the survey team discovered a copper mine in the base area. It has now entered the mining stage. The blockade of the Eighth Route Army by the Japanese army and the National Army has been broken. The Eighth Route Army will not have to
Then secretly try to smoothen the relationship and get raw materials.
At this point, the preparations for the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Arsenal were put on the agenda. The Huangyadong Arsenal was originally established by the deputy chief of staff, so this time he personally took charge of the preparations for the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Arsenal.
The arsenal's factory is built in Zhencheng, north of Heze. This location is at the center of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area, has a small mountainous area, and is close to Heze, making it the best location for the arsenal.
With the support of Huangyadong Arsenal and Jinan Arsenal and a large number of mechanical equipment and technical personnel, the Hebei, Shandong and Yu Arsenal started production in only one and a half months.
"The current results of the arsenal are gratifying. One production line for 79-caliber bullets and 65-caliber bullets has begun production. In just half a month, the total output is 800,000 rounds. The monthly output is 16,000 grenades and 50,60 mortar shells.
With a monthly output of 8,000, it is not easy for the Caotai team to finally make a big show!" The deputy chief of staff still had a little regret on his face: "It is a pity that heavy machine gun bullets and larger-caliber artillery shells cannot be mass-produced in a short time!"
Theoretically, based on the mechanical equipment obtained in Tianjin, the Eighth Route Army can produce mountain artillery and even heavy artillery without restrictions on raw materials and technology. Of course, this is only a theoretical state.
The bullet production line copied from the Huangyadong Arsenal and the self-developed Type 81 rifle are based on this. However, most of the energy has to be focused on production. The two production lines at the Hebei, Shandong, and Yu Arsenal were squeezed out, and everything is still there.
needs time.
"This is enough to solve some of the gaps. As long as the arsenal can get on the right track and slowly expand production in the future, we will achieve self-sufficiency sooner or later!" Zhou Weihan said.
"Well, yes, this is crucial to our army!"
"Zhao Gang, when Tan Lin arrives, let him take you to familiarize yourself with the situation of the Political Department. At present, the military region has established a number of key groups, most of which are supplemented by local armed forces and national army officers and soldiers!"
"The focus of your future work is to communicate more with the political cadres below, do a good job in the ideological work of these new comrades, and adapt to the new environment as soon as possible. No matter how perfect the training plan is, no matter how hard the training is, but the thinking cannot keep up, and they are on the battlefield.
