The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Hotel.

It was nearly nine o'clock when Liu Tao woke up.

I drank a lot last night. After I came back, I took a shower and then lay on the bed to sleep.

This time he would sleep until he woke up naturally, and no one would disturb his sleep.

"This Moutai is indeed the national wine and a good wine. Your head won't hurt when you wake up." Liu Tao thought to himself and started to wash it off.

After stretching his body for a while and feeling refreshed, Liu Tao began to think about the meeting with the leader tomorrow.

It was a rare opportunity for the leader to meet with him. He didn't know how long it would take for him to have such an opportunity next time.

Liu Tao started to think.

"By the way, how could I forget such an important thing?" Liu Tao patted his head in annoyance, then took a pen and wrote in his notebook: hydropower station.

Yes, Liu Tao has discovered that the three new small reservoirs built by Panshan Machinery Factory, plus the original two small reservoirs, can provide domestic and industrial water without any problem, but the power generation may not be able to meet the needs of Panshan Machinery Factory.

Therefore, either a new large and medium-sized reservoir should be built within the scope of Panshan Machinery Factory, or a medium-sized reservoir in a nearby town should be included within the jurisdiction of Panshan Machinery Factory.

The most indispensable things in a factory are water, electricity, raw materials, machinery and equipment, and production workers.

Previously, Liu Tao thought that building three small reservoirs was enough. After all, each reservoir has a storage capacity of up to 9 million m. However, after thinking about it carefully, he found that it might not be enough.

If there is not enough power in the future, it will definitely be a very troublesome thing.

Without electricity, many machines in the factory cannot operate.

Liu Tao can still find someone to handle the small reservoir.

But for large and medium-sized reservoirs, there is no other way. The province will have to mobilize water conservancy experts to carry out special construction.

Otherwise, for example, if we randomly find a dam site to build, the reservoir capacity may not be reached, and it will be useless.

It just so happened that I could bring this matter up when I met with the provincial leaders this time.

At that time, whether it is to allocate a large and medium-sized reservoir to Panshan Machinery Factory, or support Panshan Machinery Factory to build a new large and medium-sized reservoir, Liu Tao can accept it.

In addition to this matter, you can also talk to the leader about the previous application to expand the scope of the three factories.

The earlier this matter is settled, the better. The more variables there are later, the more complicated and difficult the procedures will be.

There are many mountainous areas in Yunnan Province, of which only 10% are relatively gentle mountainous areas.

However, from a security perspective, this kind of terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. You only need to defend key positions, and the entire area is safe and isolated from the world. It is very suitable for the military from both a security perspective and a confidentiality perspective. factory's.

In the area where the three military factories are located, as long as inspection posts are established before and after, it is impossible for the enemy to easily reach the factory location.

"By the way, there is also a railway to be built to facilitate transportation!" Liu Tao remembered again that Panshan Machinery Factory still lacked a railway.

Although the current highways are constantly being widened, they are mountain roads after all. The mountain roads have eighteen bends. The road conditions are not good, and the transportation efficiency is far inferior to that of the railways.

In terms of cost, rail transportation is also much smaller than road transportation.

To build a Panshan Machinery Factory to connect the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, only about 20 kilometers of railway will be needed.

Once this railway is completed, the transportation efficiency will be greatly improved. In the future, many materials can be transported by railway. The weapons and ammunition produced by Panshan Machinery Factory can be transported directly in batches by railway.

When Liu Tao was planning, he thought about building a railway and even planned the route.

It's just that the construction of railways required the Ministry of Railways. At this time, the Ministry of Railways was a powerful department, with 18 railway bureaus, 15 railway divisions, and a total strength of an astonishing 430,000 troops.

It's just Panshan Machinery Factory, and everyone is jealous of you.

Even the Yunnan Provincial Management Office and the Kunming Railway Bureau may not favor it.

There are so many things. The more I think about it, the more I realize that industrialization is not easy.

If you want to develop, you cannot do without infrastructure. If the infrastructure is not complete, development will be restricted.

Water, electricity, transportation, etc. must be matched accordingly to give development wings to take off.

Feeling that his consideration might be incomplete, Liu Tao left the guest house and went to Wang Tiezhu's office.

Wang Tiezhu is an old revolutionary who works long hours and stands at a high altitude, so he should be able to help him check.

office.

Wang Tiezhu listened to Liu Tao's words and pondered for a moment: "The land application for the three factories is not a big problem. I reported it to the leaders last time. The three factories involved only 10,000 people. It is just a matter of relocation. . The railway only needs to be repaired for 20 kilometers, and the amount of work is not large. If the leaders come forward to coordinate, it should be possible. "

"It would be very difficult for the province to build this medium-to-large reservoir. A few years ago, a large reservoir was built at a cost of 60 million. It may be difficult for the province to come up with this money." Wang Tiezhu said: "As for allocating a small and medium-sized reservoir, The reservoir, which involves interests, is not within the jurisdiction of Panshan Machinery Factory.”

Having said this, Wang Tiezhu shook his head.

The area managed by Panshan Machinery Factory reaches 100 square kilometers, which is already the size of a town.

At that time, half of the area of ​​Panshan Town was included in the Panshan Machinery Factory.

If it hasn't been built yet, it's easy to talk about it. If it's already built, there will be beneficiaries. It's not that easy to take meat from others.

"As long as the leaders support our construction, there will be no problem. The money can be provided by Panshan Machinery Factory." Liu Tao said.

The Fifth Machinery Department settled 37 million yuan to Panshan Machinery Factory, and the available money in Panshan Machinery Factory's account was at least more than 45 million yuan.

As long as this order is completed, the money available in Panshan Machinery Factory's account will reach at least 100 million yuan.

Don’t forget, in addition to this large order, Panshan Machinery Factory also purchases troops!

There is more than enough money to build a large reservoir.

And this is still money that Panshan Machinery Factory can use without affecting the construction of the factory.

As a third-tier factory, Panshan Machinery Factory has no way of turning over profits.

Now Panshan Machinery Factory is responsible for its own profits and losses!

"If the funds are provided by Panshan Machinery Factory, then there should be no problem!" Wang Tiezhu nodded, "Now there is a question you have to consider. Panshan Machinery Factory is such a big building. What if it is bombed by bombers or missiles?"

The most important issue in a military factory is safety, and any safety issue is no small matter.

In the past, Panshan Machinery Factory was small and hidden in the mountains, making it difficult to be discovered. Even if it was discovered, it would probably not be recognized as a military factory.

But it is different now. The Panshan Machinery Factory, which is currently under large-scale construction, will suddenly become the largest military factory in Yun Province. In this way, it will be difficult to avoid aircraft reconnaissance.

If there is any conflict, such a large military factory is likely to be the first to be attacked.

If it is bombed, the losses will be huge, and it will also affect military production.

A very important consideration in why we built so many third-tier factories instead of concentrating on building large factories was to spread them out so that they would not be taken over all at once.
