Thinking of this, Yang Zhen smiled slightly. He understood that Jiangbei might be preparing for war. The main grain producing areas in Jiangbei are all in Europe. Especially the most important granary, Ukraine, is close to the German-occupied area. And once
When the war breaks out, Ukraine, which is adjacent to the German-occupied areas and is already under the frontline of the German army, will be the first Soviet area to bear the flames of war.
And once something happens to Ukraine, which is the granary of Jiangbei, the food supply of the entire Jiangbei will probably be in a very dangerous situation. It seems that there are still sensible people among the senior officials of Jiangbei. They are not so arrogant as to expect that the war will happen all of a sudden.
to repel the German attack.
As for refusing to accept coal, should we wait until Ukraine, which is also a major producer of steel and coal, is lost in half a year to see if they can be more arrogant? Losing Ukraine is not just as simple as losing the Jiangbei granary. There is also the largest Jiangbei granary.
Donets Coalfield. After losing this largest coalfield in Europe, it would be strange for Jiangbei not to cry.
However, the reason why Kovalev insisted on seeing him was very clear to Guo Bingxun even if he did not tell Yang Zhen. If it was just for such a thing, he would not insist on seeing him. The food issue is not his responsibility. The commander-in-chief and Li
The directors, the two people responsible for the entire Northeast region, are the real owners.
After thinking for a while, Yang Zhen said to Guo Bingxun: "Old Guo, I think the luncheon meat production technology can be handed over to them, which is nothing. But regarding the issue of food, what do the Commander-in-Chief and Director Li think about it?
What do you think of the situation? Or do you have any ideas?"
When Guo Bingxun heard this, he shook his head and said: "The commander-in-chief means that livestock products can be provided according to Jiangbei's requirements, and food issues can be considered, but not so much. The amount of wheat provided in a year must not exceed ten
Ten thousand tons. As for the supply of potatoes and onions, it can be increased."
"Especially potatoes, which have a short growth period and a large output. The annual potato output in our base area can more than double their needs. Therefore, the commander-in-chief suggested that the conditions in Jiangbei are acceptable, but the quantity must be modified.
If Jiangbei insists on this figure, it can try its best to offset it with coarse grains such as corn."
"It really doesn't work. The quantity of livestock products can be increased. But the quantity of wheat must not be provided as required by Jiangbei. We cannot tighten the belts of our soldiers to fill other people's bellies. As for the transfer of lunch meat production technology,
What the Commander-in-Chief and Director Li mean is that since this kind of can is currently under the management and production of the Military Region Logistics Department, whether to transfer it still needs to be decided after you come back for discussion."
Regarding the commander-in-chief's ideas for solving the problem, Yang Zhen nodded and said: "Jiang is still old and spicy, and the commander-in-chief's considerations are still very comprehensive. In this way, when it comes to food issues, we will follow the ideas of the commander-in-chief and Director Li."
.However, it is not appropriate for the military region to intervene in this matter. It would be more appropriate to ask the commander-in-chief, Director Li, to talk to them."
"But please take the time to talk to the commander-in-chief and the others. Although Jiangbei has now refused us to trade coal this year, it does not mean that we will not need it in the future. Moreover, our industrial construction is about to be fully rolled out, and the demand for coal is huge.
.Coal production cannot be reduced because of Jiangbei’s rejection. On the contrary, we must do everything we can to increase production.”
"I want to see if they can tell them this reason in the second half of the year. When they take the initiative to speak, we will be more proactive in talking to them. High-quality industrial coal and thermal coal are actually sold.
It’s cheaper than Chinese cabbage, and I’ve done enough of this kind of loss-making business. I don’t want future generations to call me a prodigal, and I don’t feel bad for selling my land.”
"However, you are right. The reason why this guy has been transferred to Harbin and still insists on seeing me is definitely not that simple. He should have other things. This guy is from the intelligence background, and many of our things are...
I can't hide it from his evil eyes."
"In addition, there are their technical consultants and experts in the military factory. Although the development of new weapons has been hidden from them, I don't think they have hidden much. I guess what does this guy want from us now?
It’s something. And it’s probably related to military equipment, otherwise he wouldn’t insist on seeing me.”
Guo Bingxun still agrees with Yang Zhen's views on this matter. Although Jiangbei has been hiding several new weapons secretly developed by the military region, there are many problems that cannot be solved during the development process, and Jiangbei still needs help.
technical advisors and experts.
Although only some of the things are under their control, what do those people do? They are engaged in the design and production of weapons. If you can't smell the peculiar smell, it is abnormal. After dealing with Jiangbei for such a long time, Guo Bingxun clearly knows
These people have very sensitive noses.
It's just that Guo Bingxun doesn't know what new weapons in his arsenal have entered the eyes of these people. But one thing Guo Bingxun is very clear about, that is, as long as something is targeted by them, if they don't get it, they will
I will never give up.
To be honest, Guo Bingxun is disgusted with Jiangbei's approach of being very direct, always looking at everything that is useful to him in the base area, and only thinking about his own small calculations regardless of the life and death of others. But after all, he has studied in France.
You know, this is reality. No one will help you for free, and no one will consider you. Everything is an exchange of real interests.
The engine problem of tanks and aircraft has not been solved for a long time. What is the use of building factories? What is an engine? It is the core equipment of all equipment. Without an engine, aircraft and tanks are just a pile of scrap metal that is not even as good as a rifle. This
Planting something to be controlled by others is equivalent to giving your lifeblood to others.
When Jiangbei regrets it and stops providing spot goods, the aviation force and armored force will be paralyzed. Moreover, they all rely on imports, and the Anti-Japanese Alliance does not have that much financial resources. The engine problem must be solved. This is before Yang Zhen comes back.
The Standing Committee has already drawn up a plan.
Guo Bingxun hated Jiangbei's behavior of being inconsistent, taking a signed contract and not taking it seriously. He regretted a signed contract right away and suddenly came to visit him because he was thinking about other things.
But the problems that should be solved still need to be solved.
Looking at Guo Bingxun, whose face was a bit uncertain, Yang Zhen seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. But Yang Zhen didn't say anything. It would be abnormal not to be angry about this matter. What's more, it was not just Guo Bingxun who was angry, but himself
Wasn't he also very angry because of Jiang Bei's sudden change of attitude?
Jiangbei's attitude was changeable. They were able to delay the start of the war, but the Anti-Japanese Alliance could not afford it. Fortunately, Jiangbei suddenly relented this time. Although on the surface it was just for some food, the private reason was not that simple. No matter what
Say, if you relax, there is still hope.
However, Yang Zhen didn't want to talk too much about this matter before he figured out Jiangbei's true intentions. After thinking about it, Yang Zhen changed the subject and said: "Lao Guo, how is the military region's rank evaluation work going? Everyone.
Do senior cadres have any ideas? Lao Gao must be under a lot of pressure now."
Hearing Yang Zhen mention the matter of military rank evaluation, Guo Bingxun could only smile bitterly and said: "What else can be done? Gao Yumin, who is in charge of this matter, is about to make a fuss. The military rank is set too low, not to mention that he can't hold him up in front of his old comrades.
After all, even if I go home to my wife, I will look down on her. With this kind of thinking, it would be strange not to make a fuss."
"However, those who are having a lot of fun are mainly concentrated at the regiment level and technical cadres. As for those at the column level and division level, they can still calm down. Of course, their military ranks have actually been
It’s decided. The rank at the column and military district level is Major General. As for the division and military division level, the preliminary rank is Senior Colonel, and the deputy division level is Colonel. You are a lieutenant general, and they can’t make trouble even if they want to."
"As for the military rank, Political Commissar Li, I and Director Gao have discussed it. Since our army is still in the stage of development, we should not have too many ranks. Therefore, we did not consider the brigadier general rank commonly used in the West, but changed it to
For the award at the division level you propose a major.”
"However, taking into account the sentiments of taking care of the troops and the qualifications of the cadres, we are not planning to adopt the Soviet Army's captain rank. Captains and above are directly awarded the rank of major. This senior colonel rank, which is equivalent to a brigadier general, is not available in other countries, not even Jiangbei. It can be regarded as
Let’s create something original.”
Having said this, Guo Bingxun paused and said: "No. 1, in fact, those cadres from our old army who are making trouble are not too many. The key is that the cadres transferred from the pass are a little difficult to think. After these cadres are transferred,
Due to work assignments and time transfers, many people have very senior qualifications but cannot move up the ranks."
"Some of them even joined the Red Army in 30 years and now only serve as cadres at the regiment level. According to our current awarding standards, many of them can only be awarded colonels. And some of them, such as Yi Liangpin and Ouyang Shanji, are already at the column level.
, awarded the rank of major general in accordance with regulations."
"But most people are still holding positions at the division level or even the brigade level. According to regulations, a considerable number of people can only be awarded the rank of colonel or even lieutenant colonel. The difference between the two is too big.
It’s normal for some people to feel unbalanced.”
"There are also technicians at all levels in the Ministry of Military Industry, doctors and nurses in hospitals, and cultural and art troupes. There is no final review on whether to grant military ranks. In addition to some cadres in the customs, it is these technical personnel who are vying for military ranks. After all, military ranks are not
This kind of thing represents not only the grade and level of a soldier, but also the honor of a soldier."
"Although you have made a request that non-combat personnel should not be awarded the title, the political commissar has been hesitant considering the stability of these people. Especially the technical personnel in the military industry department and the doctors in various field hospitals, their contributions to the army are very important.
The political commissar cannot but consider their emotions."
"So the political commissar and Director Gao are still studying the matter of awarding non-combatants with titles. However, the political commissar still prefers to grant military ranks to this type of personnel according to their job standards. We can consider adding professional titles in front of the military ranks as Jiangbei did.
