After Major General Grigorenko and his party left the conference room to rest according to Yang Zhen's request, Yang Zhen endured the uncomfortable feeling in his heart and turned to the commander-in-chief and Li Yanlu: "Commander-in-Chief, Director Li
, what do you think of the Soviet Union’s suggestions?”
The commander-in-chief and Li Yanlu looked at each other, but shook their heads and said: "Didn't you already reach an agreement with the Americans to allow them to mine Heli's graphite mines? Why are you still thinking of agreeing to the Soviet Union? But whether it is the Soviet Union
I suggest you consider whether it is appropriate to hand over our mining management rights to foreigners. We must consider not only our own interests, but also the interests of the common people.
Receptivity.”
Hearing the Commander-in-Chief's doubts, Yang Zhen and Li Yanping looked at each other and couldn't help but smile: "Commander-in-Chief, will the Americans consider our graphite mine? They themselves have the largest graphite mine in the world. Who will look at it?
With our little wealth? Besides, our current export channel is only Jiangbei. With the prudence of Americans, who will invest a lot in us?"
"People are worried that Jiangbei has blocked the external transportation channel, and the products produced cannot be shipped out. Our current external channel only has one road in Jiangbei, and there are no other roads. Americans are very sophisticated and will not see that this is a trap.
Jump in. It has nothing to do with Americans at all. I'm just using it as a lure to deceive these Soviet big brothers. What else should I do? Really give up or pay tens of millions of dollars in cash? I can't bear to do it."
"I just used them as an introduction. They came here this time with a lot of experts in geology and coal. I think the reason why they have been refusing to provide loans and insisting on spot currency is to use our minds based on the mineral resources in the area. Especially in their country.
There is a lack of brains for minerals that are used in large quantities by industry."
"Graphite is used in large amounts in the metallurgical and chemical industries, and it is also very critical. However, the Soviet Union lacks large-scale mineable minerals. In addition, before the September 18th Incident, they penetrated deeply into Northern Manchuria. For this region
We know the situation very well. It’s not surprising that they turned their heads to us. But I didn’t expect that their appetite would be so big. In addition to the coal mines in Heli, they also set their sights on the coal mines in Qitaihe. Our big brother
What you do is really dark. Adding insult to injury is a good trick."
Hearing this, the commander-in-chief pointed at Yang Zhen, shook his head and smiled: "You, in order to achieve your goal, you really do everything you can, and you can use any means. Aren't you afraid that they will expose you when they meet with the Americans?
But what are your thoughts on this matter?"
In response to the Commander-in-Chief's rhetorical question, Yang Zhen was silent for a moment and then said: "Commander-in-Chief, what do you think we should do? What else can we do? Are we really going to watch us being forced to take away tens of millions of dollars?
?Don’t say that we haven’t got the money yet, even if we get it, we can’t give it to them for free?”
"We worked hard to get more than 100 million U.S. dollars this time, but at least in a short time, we won't have such a good thing again. So of course we can't save any money that we should spend, and we shouldn't spend a penny.
We can't spend it. In order to relieve our financial pressure when Jiangbei refuses to provide loans, we can consider transferring the operating rights and mining rights of Heli's graphite mine to them for ten years. But the contract must be clearly written.
Chu."
"It used to be that the Heli graphite mine was in the hands of the Japanese. Not to mention the scale, all the technical staff were Japanese. Now the Japanese technical staff are dying and running away. Now the entire graphite mine has been paralyzed, and
It is simply impossible to resume production with our current technical capabilities."
"And the most critical problem is that even if we reluctantly resume work, we cannot digest it ourselves and have basically no channels for export. Even if we produce products, we will not be able to get the economic benefits we deserve. Rather than being used by the Soviet Union like coal,
If the price is reduced to cabbage, it is better to simply take out part of the operating rights for a certain period of time in exchange for the equipment we urgently need."
"Our only customer is the Soviet Union. Since we can only sell goods to one party, it is impossible for them not to lower the price. We have previously negotiated with them to export coal and grain to repay their loans. How is the grain harvest this year? Is there any
We don’t know yet about Yuli’s exports, but you have also seen the price of coal.”
"A ton of high-quality industrial coking coal is only discounted to 40 rubles for us. Other coal is only discounted to 30 rubles, or even less than 30 rubles. Although I don't know the international price of coal, I definitely don't.
It’s such a low price. What kind of price is it? It’s almost robbery. What’s the difference between it and an open robbery?”
"This is why I deliberately slowed down the delivery speed to Heli coal even after its production had resumed last year. In addition to our own military production and supply of heating to various towns, it was because the price they offered was too high.
It’s low.”
"We can't just sell the gold as hut. Instead of letting it lower the price and plunder it in vain, we might as well let it buy out the operating rights for a certain number of years at once. I want to set the price of this graphite mine according to the market price. 10
Years of operating rights, plus the 500 tanks, a full set of production technology and two production lines we purchased should be more than enough. At least it is much better than what it is now, where coal is sold at a bargain price."
"Political Commissar Li and I have discussed that given our own inability and lack of funds, we can consider selling the operating rights of this graphite mine for a period of time in exchange for the equipment we urgently need. At the same time, we will provide employment for some people in the base area to
Solve their livelihood problems."
"As for the coal mines in the Qitaihe area, we can also consider agreeing to their joint venture requirements. But there is one thing, that is, the Qitaihe mining area can only adopt a joint venture. They can hold shares, but they can never hold a controlling stake. We need to offset half of the products.
The loan will be repaid over time, and the other half will be used as the cost for us to purchase equipment from them.”
"With the progress of negotiations with the Americans, our military industry may have a major explosion in the second half of this year. Although we now have a certain aviation force, the number of aircraft is still too few. Especially since we cannot produce it ourselves.
, for us, if one of these planes is shot down, there will be one less aircraft.”
"In order to protect our military production base, we must not only form our own aviation force, but also form ground anti-aircraft artillery. Upstream industries such as metallurgy and chemical industry are not arsenals that we can continue to produce by using caves. Especially the metallurgical industry
, their iconic blast furnace can be seen from a distance. Once these industries are completed, we will no longer be able to hide our military industry."
"Originally, I was still thinking about how to get some anti-aircraft guns from the Soviet Union, especially the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns responsible for air defense in key areas. Although the anti-aircraft machine guns we make ourselves have advanced performance, their range and power are still too small.
. We are in urgent need of these things right now, and since they have taken the initiative to deliver them to our door, it would be a pity if we didn’t take them."
"I want to exchange part of the operating rights of the Qitaihe Coal Mine with them for part of the air defense equipment. Based on the annual output of the Qitaihe Coal Mine when the Japanese controlled it, which was nearly 1.5 million tons, I think even if it is based on their 400,000 tons
The ruble price is enough to reach six million rubles."
"If the Soviets take over, in order to meet the needs of the Far East, they will inevitably increase production capacity. Calculated based on an output of two million tons a year, the value of the coal produced every year should be about 10 million rubles. In Canada
We control Heli and the large coal fields running through Shuangyashan, Boli, Baoqing and Mishan. If we work hard to expand production capacity, the coal produced should be at least 10 million tons.
"Based on the ratio of our own use of three and export of seven, the output value of the coal we control should be about 100 million rubles a year. In other words, if we are willing, we can pay off all the current Jiangbei coal within two years.
They gave us a loan. However, since they didn’t press for it, it would be unkind for us to be too hasty to pay it back.”
"So I think we can, in accordance with the Soviet Union's requirements, sell part of the operating rights of the coal mines in the Qitaihe area in exchange for some of the equipment we urgently need. The performance of the Soviets' M39-type 37-type anti-aircraft guns and 85-type anti-aircraft guns is still good.
, I think it shouldn’t be a problem to exchange 45% of the coalfield management rights in the Qitaihe area for a few hundred doors.”
"If this agreement can be reached, we have indeed paid a certain price, but it is still appropriate compared with the benefits we can get. It is the lesser of two evils. For us, this is no solution. The country is so weak, we
So what can we do? Instead of ruining the country with empty talk, we should take advantage of this opportunity and try our best to develop ourselves. I think the people will understand us one day."
Yang Zhen's thorough analysis made the commander-in-chief and Li Yanlu fall into deep thought. Yang Zhen was right. After occupying the Heli area, the Northeast Bureau also organized personnel to restore the production of graphite mines there so that
It was used to repay the loan for exporting to Suzhou, but was eventually abandoned due to lack of technology.
Among the original miners, those who could neither join the army nor know how to farm due to age and health problems also fell into trouble due to the closure of the mines. Although the Northeast Bureau has tried its best to relocate to coal mines and gold mines, but
It is difficult for a good woman to make a meal without rice. With limited resettlement means, this group of people has also caused a certain burden on the work of the Northeast Bureau.
Under the current situation that we are unable to repair ourselves, instead of letting these mineral resources that can be exchanged for funds lie there in vain and unable to function. It is better to use them to make some transactions with Jiangbei in order to solve some of our own needs. This is also
It's something that kills two birds with one stone.
It’s just that in the past, the mining industry in Northeast China was basically controlled by the Japanese. When I publicized it to the outside world, I summarized it as the Japanese’s brutal and bloody plunder of China’s precious resources. Now I regard the management and management of these mineral resources as
The development rights were sold to the Soviet Union, even though it was only temporary. But how would it be seen in the eyes of ordinary people?
Will the people in northern Manchuria regard the Northeast Bureau and the puppet Manchukuo regime as the same people? And will the Japanese and puppet forces make a big fuss about this matter and slander the Anti-Japanese Alliance? This needs to be carefully considered. And it will be crane
The mining rights in the independent area were handed over to the Soviet Union, and the coal mines in the Qitaihe area were jointly operated with the Soviet Union. How should the Central Committee explain this? Will the Central Committee agree or accept the Northeast Bureau's approach?
