Chapter 697: There are no big ships in the strait
This evaluation carries extraordinary weight.
Most of the things that have been able to do this in history are still hung on the wall, written in books, or standing in scenic spots.
Not to mention the chief, several other ministries and commissions who participated in the report were all very surprised, envious, jealous, and not hateful about this incident.
This kind of thing is really rare.
"We are going to give Comrade Gao Zhendong a big trophy that weighs one ton." The leader said "one ton" sincerely, which is different from when he was teasing Lao Maozi.
The leader of the 17th Machinery Department grinned and said nothing. There were a lot of such things in his place. You might as well write him those eight words you just said.
But he could only think about this in his mind.
Everyone laughed.
“From this point of view, our steel production starting next year can be more optimistic. So besides the original plan, should we build something extra?”
One of the chiefs said with a smile. This sentence immediately aroused everyone's interest.
Everyone knows about the "X Five Plan", but the five-year span is relatively long. The general direction may not change much within five years, but the details need to be constantly adjusted.
Especially for unplanned good news like this, it is necessary to make some targeted adjustments. If there is no additional increase in steel production, it is that plan. If there is an additional increase in steel production, it is still that plan. Then isn’t the work of the 17th Machinery Department in vain?
Concerning our current situation, let alone increasing production by just a small amount, even if it is directly doubled, it will only be digested as much as you can. However, this matter cannot be rushed without a plan. Just because there is not much steel, It has to be used on the edge of the knife.
“The third line has already begun, and the demand for steel is very strong. They will absorb as much as they increase production.”
Although international relations and geopolitical conditions have changed, the general direction remains unchanged, and slight differences in details and operations have not affected the emergence of the original third-tier construction policy.
“The Third Line is planned, not only the issues of steel and building materials, but also construction progress, personnel transfer, talent training, equipment transfer, re-commissioning and other issues, which affect the whole body. I think , this side of the third line should be quiet rather than moving, and cannot be adjusted hastily. "
"Well, I agree with this suggestion. The third-line construction is too expensive. Just solving the steel problem cannot solve all the problems."
The original third-line construction, incomplete statistics, totaled It cost more than 200 billion, and it was 200 billion from the 1960s to the 1980s.
This construction has greatly improved the technology, economy, education, and transportation levels of the central and western regions. Its significance is not just as simple as building a few arsenals in caves.
It can be said that if there are problems with the first and second lines at that time, relying on the third line to increase production capacity, there will be a chance to push back. Strategic depth is not a joke. The kid next door, Nan Bangzi, will cry. .
As for the Gaul Chicken Hans Cat, who was tricked to death by Lao Maozi many times, he has a profound understanding of this issue.
The leader thought for a while and said with a smile: "You guys, if you don't get steel, you'll be worried. If you get steel, you'll still be worried! You won't have a rich life. Let me see, either, agriculture, water, Machines, or let’s build ships.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up at this. Needless to say, agriculture, water, and machines, and even steel are not too important, or not directly related, to Shuikou. What they want is construction machinery.
First solve the problem of eating, sunshine, water and fertilizer. If sunshine cannot be controlled, then at least water and fertilizer can be controlled to a certain extent, and water must rely on water conservancy projects. , without water conservancy projects, no matter how prosperous the place is, it will basically depend on the weather, let alone those areas where the conditions and endowments are not that good.
For example, one thing that is very counter-intuitive is that the southwest mountainous forest province, which is famous for its "sunny days without sunshine", used to be short of agricultural water. It was not that there was no water, but that there was no water when it was needed and there was no water when there was plenty All flowed away. By definition, this is called "structural water shortage" and "engineering water shortage."
Concrete gravity dams and concrete arch dams are not affordable these days. There is not enough cement, so construction machinery is still needed. It would be okay to build more earth-rock gravity dams and mortar stone arch dams.
As for machinery, needless to say, industry, agriculture, mining and construction are all inseparable from this thing.
As for shipbuilding, that’s interesting.
“Chief, do you mean the south?”
"My opponent! That's what I mean. It doesn't have to be a warship. It's okay to build something to transport people. At least it must be big enough, contain enough, and run far enough."
The thing in the south , has always been on everyone's mind. If it is not resolved, it will be difficult to feel at ease.
“This matter, the Maritime Equipment Bureau may jump with joy.”
“Well, the chief is right. If you can’t make guns with steel, how can you keep compensation? ?”
“How to do it, we still have to add it up.”
"It's a pity that the comrades from the National Defense Working Committee are not here today, otherwise we could have a good discussion now." "It's useless to be there. No results will be produced in a short time."
"But the general direction is set. It’s no problem. Let me see, part of the additional steel production quota will be reserved and allocated to the National Defense Work Committee, and they will decide what to build.”
< br>It is naturally impossible to melt and re-roll the wire rods, steel plates, and various profiles that have been produced for shipbuilding. However, the extra indicators in this part can replace some of the steel types to be produced next year, which means that next year’s The production plan for specific steel product types can be adjusted, which is equivalent to using current products to replace future production capacity, and part of the future production capacity will be adjusted to shipbuilding materials.
The word "indicator" will generally be used as data and standards a few decades later, but these days, it refers to another thing, which is money, or materials, or resources.
"I got some of the XX targets..." These days, if you can say this to your leaders and colleagues, they can hire you. This XX may be money, or it may be steel, wood, cement... or even personnel.
"I think this matter has been settled like this. For specific matters, you divide the indicators into points. The comrades in agriculture, water and machinery will do their own things, and the army will leave them to the defense workers. Just let the Committee and the Maritime Equipment Bureau implement it. Our eyes should not only look at the island, but also at the sea.”
This good news was quickly spread back to the Defense Works Committee. .
The leaders of the National Defense Working Committee never imagined that while people were sitting at home, bread would come from heaven.
Looking at the slightly huge number, the leaders of the National Defense Working Committee were a little confused.
I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!
Although this additional increase in production does not seem to be large, it is an increase in production for the entire country, and the absolute amount is not small. At least for the National Defense Work Committee and the Maritime Equipment Bureau, they should now have a headache. are engines, shipyards, skilled workers, and ship operators.
In fact, no one knows that the original total steel production in 1961 was more than 4 million tons less than that in 1960, only more than 8 million tons, and it will be even less in 1962. Now that they see this number of over 10 million, it is a miracle.
Whether they know it or not, in terms of the order of 10 million tons, even an additional 1% increase in production will be 100,000 tons. To be honest, these figures are not enough for the current Navy's "air-submarine speed" , it’s really a bit huge.
We can build a lot of small boats of dozens or hundreds of tons, but we don’t have enough experience in building large ships, and we don’t know how to build them.
Of course, each company gets one point, and considering the actual situation of the shipbuilding industry, the allocated steel quota is not 100,000 tons, but the number is still not small.
What's the point? The National Defense Working Committee, which was troubled by happiness, had no choice but to use the magic weapon again. Let's hold a meeting to discuss it.
On the surface, this matter had nothing to do with Gao Zhendong. The National Defense Working Committee did not want to involve Gao Zhendong in everything. This was not a good thing for Gao Zhendong, so Gao Zhendong was not notified.
But before the meeting, the leader of the Defense Working Committee still called Gao Zhendong. He always felt that even if Gao Zhendong did not attend the meeting, he must have his own ideas on this matter, and his opinions should be very important. Instructive, even actionable.
After all, it seems that Gao Zhendong and Gao Zhendong are not compatible at first, but in fact, it is too common to be led by him in the end.
"Shipbuilding?" Gao Zhendong was confused when he received this confidential call.
"Yes, shipbuilding, I want to hear your opinion privately."
After hearing the leader of the Defense Working Committee briefly explain the ins and outs of the matter, Gao Zhendong became more energetic.
Good news! Great news!
Gao Zhendong didn’t expect that his little butterfly wings would flap like this.
If you want to talk about taking a boat, I might not be interested in it because I will get seasick!
When it comes to shipbuilding, I don’t know how, I haven’t learned anything!
But when it comes to what kind of ship to build, his ideas come to mind.
Of course, aircraft carriers are unrealistic and the steps are too big. It is not a question of whether they can be built, but that at this stage, they cannot even design them.
“Leader, I think we need to build some big ships and some small boats, but there are some things that we must build more of.”
The big ships here refer to large main battle ships of more than 1,000 tons, not to mention small boats.
"Build a few big ships? Not many?"
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "Leader, our eyes are mainly on Angelica Island, right?"
The leader chuckled: "What do you think?"
Gao Zhendong said: "Well, let me assume that our target is in the direction of Angelica. Based on this assumption, we don't need too many big ships, and we don't even necessarily need big ships. I say build some big ships, Mainly for further considerations.”
Gao Zhendong was stunned by Gao Zhendong's unconventional statement: "Zhendong, are you sure your judgment is accurate? Without big ships, small boats will pile up and die?"
Gao Zhendong did not give in: "Leader, you Think about it, with the current weapons and equipment technology and future development, what is the survival probability of a large ship in a 200-kilometer-wide strait? "
There are no large ships in the strait!
