However, compared with mid-level and high-level talents, relatively ordinary skilled workers are a more difficult problem to solve. According to Hu Weidong's estimation, if the huge increase in industrial production capacity from this introduction can be fully digested, China's industrial strength will likely reach the level of 1957 in history.
The level of New China that completed the first Five-Year Plan in 1939, and the industrial labor productivity in 1939 can certainly not be compared with the post-war level, so more workers will be needed.
law” has increasingly exposed its limitations.
Although the technical crash program can quickly enable a student with no work experience to achieve the work ability equivalent to a qualified technical worker through division of labor and collaboration within 3 months to 1 year, it is not something that everyone can be trained on. Among them
The key lies in educational level. Generally speaking, 70% to 80% of high school graduates are in
Only 60 to 70% of junior high school graduates can pass the training within half a year. As for primary school graduates, they have to be very smart, and the training time is generally much longer. And if primary school graduates
If you haven't graduated yet, unless you are a genius like Wu Yunduo, it is better to go to a higher school and continue studying.
Compared with the post-liberation New China in history, the major border areas under the Red Party now have a total population of more than 100 million, and most of them are originally relatively backward areas. Even if many patriotic young people and even experts and scholars exclude
Against all odds, people from enemy-occupied areas and Kuomintang-controlled areas came here to invest, but at most it is equivalent to a quarter of New China's level during liberation in history. In addition, each border area was established not long ago, and most of the land is still
The work of popularizing education has just begun in the newly recovered areas. How can there be so many educated young people? Weidong is still working hard to implement six-year compulsory education in the Central Plains border area, which requires a large number of teachers.
At the same time, in order to win the Anti-Japanese War as soon as possible, the Fifth Army and other various groups under the Red Party required a large number of educated young people. If the three parties work together to rob people, it will be even worse to make trouble. There will be an even greater shortage of educated young people?br
/
In order to solve this problem, Hu Weidong has adopted a three-pronged approach. The first is to promote advanced management methods and improve the work efficiency of each worker. The number of workers needed will naturally be relatively reduced; the second is to call on young people to study hard and encourage
The phenomenon of self-taught and skipping grades in order to shorten the education years as much as possible. Although Hu Weidong knew that there would be considerable disadvantages in doing so, he currently had no better choice; these three, however, captured hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners of war.
idea
Since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government has always attached great importance to education. Over the past few decades, it has achieved good results. Therefore, Japanese officers and soldiers generally have a high level of education, although Japan's industrialization level is lower than that of other powers. The Japanese military
The cultural quality of officers and soldiers is still far behind that of soldiers from advanced countries such as Germany and the United States, but compared with Chinese soldiers and their peers,
The Soviet Union, which was still a backward industrial country, has become much stronger. Even the most ordinary soldiers in the Japanese army must have an education level above elementary school graduation, and a large part of them are junior high school graduates with a higher education level.
As for officers, even the lowest sergeant (a "corps leader" similar to a Chinese squad leader is not an officer) usually has a high school degree or above.
With a higher level of education as a foundation, it is naturally much easier to train Japanese prisoners of war into skilled workers. However, Japan is an enemy country after all, so Hu Weidong did not have this idea at first, but for those Japanese prisoners of war who were originally skilled workers
The guys made good use of it. Later, due to the relationship between Su Yuan and the demand for senior technicians, Hu Weidong began to consider recruiting the families with higher education levels (at least high school graduates).
It was not until this large-scale introduction that ordinary technicians were in short supply that Hu Weidong decided to start comprehensive training for Japanese prisoners of war to temporarily fill the gap. Besides, letting them go to factories for labor reform was economically better than working as workers.
Coolie work is much more affordable. Although the conditions in the factory are much better than those at the construction site, working more than 12 hours a day and ensuring product quality is not much easier.
The language barrier is a problem, but some of the Japanese prisoners of war are proficient in Chinese. If they serve as managers or teach technology, the problem will be solved. Moreover, the Japanese can learn Chinese much faster than those Westerners. And the Japanese
Unique and extremely obedient
This made Hu Weidong feel a lot more relaxed. Although the Japanese were still very rebellious when they were captured, as long as their arrogance was suppressed at that time, they would all be obedient and work hard and seriously even for their own motherland.
After seeing this, all the Chinese workers felt ashamed
Japanese prisoners of war were just the beginning. After that, more foreigners came to China to work (see below for details). On the one hand, this helped China respond to emergencies. On the other hand, it inadvertently caused a hidden worry that Hu Weidong had been worried about before.
The problem has been solved in advance. This problem must start with industrialization itself.
As a time traveler and military industry expert, it can be said that there is no other person in the world like Hu Weidong who understands how difficult it is for an agricultural country to achieve industrialization. The first problem to be solved is that there are not enough machines and equipment in sufficient quantity and category.
Complete machinery and equipment (not necessary for small countries), industrialization
There is no way to talk about it. For agricultural countries, if they want to quickly realize industrialization without being pulled further and further away by advanced countries, they cannot just develop on their own, but must introduce a large amount of technology and equipment from abroad. If they are lucky, there will be foreign aid.
, then it will naturally be relatively simple to solve this problem. In fact
Historically, almost all backward countries that achieved industrialization received more or less foreign aid or disguised aid. For example, Japan received aid from the United Kingdom after the Meiji Restoration and South Korea received aid from the United States after the war. The Soviet Union took advantage of the 1929 economic crisis.
, and also entered into cooperation with Germany, which was demilitarized after World War I.
secret cooperation. As for New China in history, although the equipment aided by the Soviet Union had to be purchased with its own money, and the price was relatively high, the complete range alone should be recognized as "aid" rather than ordinary foreign procurement.
.In contrast, China in this time and space has undoubtedly solved this problem more satisfactorily.
However, industrialization cannot be completed just by having machinery and equipment, because the machines also need qualified workers to operate them. Those jobs with little technical content are fine, but for the manufacturing industry, after all, there are still many positions that need to be mastered.
Workers with sufficient professional skills (To be continued.)
