Chapter 1730 Great Dream (first update, please subscribe)
"Kosykin..."
Late at night, staring out the window and looking at the night sky brightened by neon lights, Li Yian's brows were locked into a ball, and his expression seemed a little complicated.
Three days ago, Kosykin visited SEA. Li Yian was very important to his visit, and the reason was simple.
As one of the "three horses" of the Soviet Union, after Khrushchev stepped down, Kosigin, who was known as an "economic expert" and a "pragmatic faction", was elected as the chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers. When he took office, he made turning the economic situation a top priority. On the one hand, he actively started to carry out the new economic system and adjusted the economy.
Although his implementation of the new economic system led to a good development momentum for the Soviet economy, the new economic system was quickly swallowed up by the old system of the steel model and disappeared without a trace.
To some extent, Kosykin's reform was the only "smart medicine" that could save the Soviet Union, for no other reason. After the failure of its reform, the old model that had been going on for decades finally dragged down the entire Soviet Union.
But can his reform succeed?
If his reforms were successful, could he prosper the Soviet Union?
Li Yian was really curious inside. Or to a certain extent, there are some expectations, because he is very clear that no matter how you evaluate the Soviet country, its existence has indeed promoted human progress.
Especially for the Western world, they have to engage in an arms race with the Soviet Union, and at the same time they have to surpass the Soviet Union in various aspects such as social welfare.
Correspondingly, the Soviet Union was also using the same competition to prove to the Western world, or to the whole world that the Soviet Union represents the real future.
The one who benefits the most in this competition is the ordinary people, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union and when the biggest enemy of the Western world disappears in this world, ordinary people... are just ordinary people.
There is no united front value. Although they will use welfare to buy the people, in their opinion, the people are just a group of guys that can be fooled.
Just like in order to please the so-called white left, they used a large amount of funds to aid, and even introduced the so-called friendly and friendly refugees to their own country.
If they really care about the interests of their own people, how could they sacrifice their own people to do these things?
The fact is that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Western world will no longer care about the feelings of ordinary people. What they care about is only the votes of those who shout the loudest, such as the white left and the so-called minority groups.
How could you care about those people? Because although they don’t have many people, they are very expressive and are very good at expressing themselves in public and performing some kind of performance to show their influence. This is why the entire society even believes that they are very influential.
Just like a pride parade, if they are really proud, do they need to prove it with a marche?
But because they express themselves in this way, they seem proud. If you don't agree, then you are conservative and you are lagging behind.
You see, they are so good at speaking.
The etiquette of the silent majority is ignored, ignored, and sacrificed in this process.
Most people are silent majority, and when they realize that their voices are ignored and ignored, it will be too late to regret it.
But under the pressure of the Soviet Union, during the Cold War, those politicians did not dare to be so unscrupulous, because they knew very well that if they were so unscrupulous, what awaited them was destruction.
The Soviet Union was like the sword of Damocles above the heads of countries around the world. It reminds the whole world that you can’t make mistakes, and once you make mistakes, you will have nothing. Will be replaced!
And this is exactly the meaning of the existence of the Soviet Union.
And Kosigin was the only hope to prosper the Soviet Union.
Another reason why he hopes to prosper his life is that as long as the Soviet Union is present, the United States will not take sEA as its enemy.
Even if sEA has surpassed the United States economically, the United States will choose to endure because the Soviet Union is really deadly.
And sEA is just about money.
The fisherman will benefit from the fight between snipes and clams. If he wants to be this fisherman, the snipes and clams must continue to fight. Only if they continue to fight can there be room for sEA development.
"Kosykin."
Speaking of this name, Li Yian walked to his desk and looked at the documents on the desk. These were documents sent by Hydra, which were all centered on the reforms of Kosykin in recent years.
"...The reality of the Soviet Union was that distribution according to profits occurred..."
In a seemingly simple sentence, it is actually the core content of Kosigin's reform.
A few years ago, Professor Yevsie Lieberman of Kharkov University proposed: To evaluate the quality of a business, we should not only look at the total output, but should use the profits to balance the supply and demand relationship. The growth of labor productivity depends on material incentives, rather than the role model role of advanced elements as traditionally believed.
This seemingly superficial truth is already very deviant in the Soviet Union.
But in any case, Lieberman's suggestion became the core of Kosykin's reform, and with Kosykin's support, the Soviet Union began the "Kosykin's Lieberman's reform".
Although many people accused that this reform was non-Soviet and was a transformation of capitalism, it injected a shot in the Soviet economy.
But how long can this cardiac injection last?
In fact, deep down, Li Yian hopes that they can all succeed in reforming.
"I hope they can continue the reform!"
Looking through the report on the table, Li Yian frowned and loose. Overall, Kosykin's reform effect was still very good. Although some problems were exposed, it was still progressing in an orderly manner overall.
Suddenly, a page of content attracted his attention:
"...Academician of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences Viktor Glushkov expressed the idea of using a national automation system to implement comprehensive informatization of the economic process over the past six years. The basis of this system is to establish a unified network of computer centers throughout the Soviet Union... Put all the data into a supercomputer, and it can calculate everything for us... After a powerful supercomputer calculates everything, it will tell everyone - starting from the specific job - what to do and how much to produce...
...The plan has been approved and piloted, connecting 340 enterprises to 70 data nodes for digital management. As of last year, the number of enterprises has increased to 580. The results of the pilot were extremely significant. The results showed that in just last year, these companies saved more than 70 million rubles of spending on raw materials, and the optimization of import and export trade caused these companies to increase their income by more than 20 million rubles. ”
Looking at the Soviet version of the "Internet" application, it should be said that it is an application that integrates the Internet with its economy. This is very distinctive. Li Yian was slightly stunned and then said to himself:
"It's true that it has Soviet characteristics!"
Looking at the report, the Soviet version of the Internet - Glushkov proposed that OGAS is a three-level network structure: a network center located in Moscow, about 200 intermediate centers located in other major cities, and about 20,000 terminals located in important economic departments. These computers use existing telephone facilities for real-time communication, and the terminals can also communicate with each other.
In another world, Glushkov's "national automation system" was rejected by the military because the military was unwilling to share information with civilian economic planners. But now, things have changed. In the past decade, with the launch of the SEA Internet, from the initial "academic network" to the current Internet, coupled with the follow-up of the United States and European countries.
The Soviet Union also joined this track, the National Automation System, referred to as OGAS for short; this is a national network project of the Soviet Union, not only national, but also involves other Eastern European countries.
The emergence of optical fibers and electronic computers fundamentally changed everything and made the original idea a reality.
"With supercomputers, what direction will their economic system develop?"
Li Yian couldn't help but look forward to it. Not only was he looking forward to the continued implementation of Kosykin's reforms, he even looked forward to the emergence of supercomputers that could fundamentally change the Soviet Union.
Even changing the whole world!
What does the future world look like?
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
While Li Yian was looking at the Soviet Union with curious eyes and looking forward to his future, on the other side, Kosykin and his group still failed to make whether to introduce SEA's automobile production equipment.
"...It is certain that SEA does have the best automobile manufacturing factory in the world. Among their factories, industrial robots have been widely used, and machine tools are also the most advanced CNC machine tools in the world. Even cutting steel plates uses automated laser cutting machine tools. Workers only need to input data to complete the cutting of steel plates, but..."
In the conference room, the accompanying expert of the inspection team said:
"We must note that many of their machinery and equipment are subject to the Batumi embargo. In this case, will they transfer these equipment to us? If these equipment are not transferred, then is it necessary for us to introduce their technology?"
The problems pointed out by experts are indeed very realistic. Even if they take out US dollars, gold must take into account the existence of the Batumi Agreement to purchase machinery and equipment from Western countries.
Since the United States established the Patriotic Agreement, it has been difficult for the Soviet Union to obtain corresponding technologies and equipment from Western countries, and even if it obtains them, they are still relatively backward technologies.
"So I think we should introduce automobile manufacturers from Italy, not just because Italy is closer to us, but also because their machines are relatively backward and more suitable for us to imitate."
If you say this, it will definitely shock everyone, because the reason why you refuse to introduce it is because the other party’s technology is too advanced.
This is precisely the most pragmatic side of the Soviet engineers. They did not blindly pursue advancedness, but instead made corresponding suggestions based on their own industrial foundation.
After listening to the suggestions of the engineers, Kosigin, as the chairman of the Council of Ministers, just nodded silently and said:
"I know what everyone's concerns are? When I visited their car manufacturing plant, I was really shocked when I saw the industrial robots they used, and I was worried that he would take away the jobs of ordinary workers. But--"
The speech paused for a moment, and then Kosykin continued.
"We must see that industrial robots will definitely become indispensable machinery and equipment in industrial production, and we are also conducting research on this aspect. If we have the opportunity, it will definitely help our research.
So I think we should negotiate with them to introduce their equipment. What do you think? ”
asked the Minister of Automotive Industry Kosigin, who had set his sights on the side.
"I also think so, especially their industrial robot technology is very developed. If we can introduce corresponding machinery and equipment and copy it in the Soviet Union, this will not only make up for our backwardness in industrial robots, but also these equipment can be used in the defense industry."
It is a typical Soviet-style idea. When they introduce every type of machine and equipment, they will consider whether this equipment can be used in the military industry in the future.
"Since that's the case, then negotiate with them."
After thinking for a while, Kosykin said again.
"When negotiating with them, we must adhere to a principle. In addition to automobile technology, we must also let them transfer the production and manufacturing of some mechanical equipment, especially those that are indispensable in automobile production but cannot be manufactured."
Although the heavy industry in the Soviet Union seemed to be very developed, in fact they were unable to produce all machinery and equipment. Just like after the last time they introduced the automobile manufacturer, they used targeted references to the production processes and processes of the new automobile manufacturer to improve the original automobile manufacturer. However, during the expansion and improvement process, they found that there were many new machine tools that they could not manufacture and produce.
Although those factories have been expanded to a certain extent during the renovation and expansion process, the production capacity of those factories is relatively limited due to the shortcomings in equipment.
It is precisely because of this that they decided to introduce a new automobile manufacturing plant.
"So which company should we negotiate with? Is it BMW, Wuling or Volkswagen?"
"The focus of the negotiations is on Wuling and Volkswagen. After all, what we need is a car for ordinary people, not a luxury car."
Kosigin thought for a while and said:
"This is exactly what we strive for - to make the lives of ordinary people better."
When he said this, Kosigin was heartfelt because he was indeed carrying this ideal, or in other words, with this desire, just like the reforms he carried out, both to rejuvenate the rigid Soviet economy.
It is also to make the lives of ordinary people better.
And making the life of ordinary people a better person is precisely the dream he pursues.
