Chapter 750 Battle Summary, Personnel Changes

"No, no, it's the kind that's in the air and can throw dozens of terminal-guided bombs at a time."

Professor Luo was also fooled by this nickname, which made Gao Zhendong very proud. But Professor Luo himself was more interested in the news he released.

Can you throw dozens of them at a time? This is a big business, and you have to do it.

Professor Luo now wishes that all weapons of the navy, army and air force could be equipped with terminal-sensitive bombs.

"Cluster bombs? Okay, I'll contact you right away. Remember to give the Defense Work Committee a heads up."

After bidding farewell to Professor Luo, Gao Zhendong walked towards the classroom where he had his class, feeling very proud. The mortar had a range of 5 kilometers and the dispenser had a range of 60 kilometers. Even if it could not be used on the barreled artillery, as long as the 25mm range of 40 to 130 kilometers could be achieved, the use of terminal-sensitive ammunition would basically form a layer, the range would be connected in place, and the means of attack would be initially diversified, so the conditions for its widespread use would be met.

Run? Let’s see where you can run this time! —
In the office of the leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building, he was on the phone and the person on the other end was an old acquaintance.

"I'm lending you the person, so please be more careful."

The voice on the other end of the phone came faintly: "There is no trickery here, everything is aboveboard, it's all work-related."

"You old man, stop talking nonsense. Why did you call today? ... You mean this matter? Well... I think so too... Yes, yes, yes, for a joint project like this, it's a bit absurd for either side to give commendations. ... What? We didn't contribute? Bullshit! We contributed people! ... Well, that's more like it."

As if he was satisfied with his scolding, he changed hands and said, "... But I also think the thing you just mentioned is necessary. ... Right, right... How about this, we can unite and raise this matter with the higher-ups... Well, I really can't commend him for a single item... Well, this year it's like a wholesale deal for me... I think it's okay. Do you think he cares about this kind of thing?... Well, well, it's settled. Even if it doesn't work this year, we should consider it next year."

After the call, the leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building put down the receiver, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hey, I used to think that it is difficult to get rewarded for one's achievements, but it was just an expression. I didn't expect that I would really encounter such a problem now. It seems that the saying that art comes from life and is higher than life is indeed true."

While talking to himself, he flipped through the documents on the table again: "I have to continue looking at it. I can't just leave the others alone except for him. I still have to deal with it."

On January 1962, 1, the 22 campaign summary meeting of the 6011th Ministry of Machine Building was finally held.

In general, the achievements are remarkable. In the 6011 campaign, the completion rate of the project was as high as 86%, among which the completion rates of the Third Rolling Mill and Beijing Steel Plant were 100%.

Although most of the comrades had heard that the two factories had achieved impressive results in the 6011 battle, they were all still shocked when they heard the result.

If it was like other factories, where they only took on one or two orders, then a 100% completion rate wouldn't be too surprising.

However, their two factories, or strictly speaking, the branches of these two factories, together undertook research tasks for nearly 20 types of materials. In addition, the two main factories undertook several more, bringing the total to just over 20 types.

"100%? Damn it! Even if I put 20 new products into production according to the process documents, I still can't finish them in a year!"

"That's right. I heard that their speed is almost the same as normal production, and even faster than the trial production!"

“I heard that Jinggang not only invested in the AOD branch, but also put in personnel and production capacity from some other workshops.”

"It's the same with the Third Rolling Mill. Their chief engineer doesn't do anything else but stays at the Third Rolling Mill every day doing this. On the contrary, his genius disciple Gao Zhendong runs around here and there all day long and spends less time in the factory than Gao Zhendong."

"Hey, Chief Engineer Ren Gao still needs to stay in the factory? Just one blast furnace operation line is enough for you to digest for half a month. I heard that he directly issued documents for each type, and after issuing the documents, several factories directly followed the production route, which was very fast."

"Look at this person's brain, what on earth is it made of..."

"It should be promoted again this time, right?"

"He has been promoted. Now, whether in administration or technology, his level is almost the same as his master's. It's a pity that his achievements are too concentrated and wasted. It would be great if I could share some of them."

"What the hell are you thinking? I'm focusing on work and don't care about personal gains and losses."

"Is it not possible to even think about it?"

"..."

Amid a flurry of discussion below, the leader of the 6011th Ministry of Machine Building announced that the campaign, which lasted more than a year, had ended in victory. The campaign fully achieved its intended purpose and exceeded its targets. It solved the urgent material needs of the agricultural department, the th Ministry of Machine Building, and some other ministries and commissions, and strongly supported a series of agricultural production and other social production activities that began with last year's spring plowing season.

Those who have made contributions should be rewarded, but practical rewards will naturally not be mentioned at this summary meeting. Otherwise, the whole venue will be filled with words like "promotion by one level" or "eight more yuan in salary" or even "one pound of meat coupons", which is really unpleasant to hear.

At this meeting, the people being honored are the same - pioneers in the battle!
Anyway, everyone has the same title, no matter if there are ten, twenty, or just one or two, as long as their deeds are outstanding enough and meet a certain standard, they are all pioneers.

This is where the leaders of the 17th Ministry of Machinery find it difficult. Gao Zhendong is really...

Hearing "Gao Zhendong"'s name being read out last, everyone knew that Gao Zhendong, who was "half of the country", won the title of "pioneer in the battle" because he was the only pioneer. Gao Zhendong himself didn't care. Contributions were not divided into large and small, they were all contributions.

But the comrades at the Third Rolling Mill and Beijing Steel Plant were delighted.

More than half of the people on this commendation list are comrades from these two factories. They are like a revolving lantern in terms of projects, one after another. There are very few who participate in many projects as core members, and very few who do not participate in any project.

This can be considered as a benefit that Gao Zhendong gives to his comrades in the two factories in accordance with the rules.

When Gao Zhendong received the award, the leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building said with a smile: "It's okay."

Gao Zhendong also smiled: "It's OK if there is one."

They both laughed.

On the second day after the summary meeting, the Third Rolling Mill and the Beijing Steel Mill were decorated with lights and banners, saying that they were in preparation for celebrating the Spring Festival. In fact, all the banners had nothing to do with the Spring Festival.

"Congratulations to our factory for successfully completing the task in the 6011 battle"

"Congratulations to 11 comrades in our factory for winning the title of 'Battle Pioneer' in the 6011 battle"

"..."

At this time, Gao Zhendong was in the Third Factory, staring at the person in front of him in a daze.

"You were transferred here?"

The person in front of him was Zheng Liangshu.

"Yes, hahahaha, you didn't expect that you and I would be here together. Not only me, but also some comrades from the AOD branch of Beijing Steel Plant are here. It seems that the higher-ups want the third branch to have its own production capacity."

If Zheng Liangshu's coming here was an ordinary transfer of administrative cadres, then the comrades from the AOD branch also came here to increase the legitimate production capacity of the third branch factory from the root.

"Welcome, welcome. Your arrival will give the Third Branch Factory a boost." Gao Zhendong quickly understood that it seemed that the higher-ups were planning to build the Third Branch Factory into a comprehensive special factory.

The large-scale production of steel materials has always been the shortcoming of the Third Factory. A considerable portion of bulk new materials have been transferred to other sister units, but some of this involves confidentiality issues, which has brought about a lot of extra confidentiality work.

I think the superiors also felt that this situation needed improvement, so they transferred Zheng Liangshu, who had experience in steel production management, to replace Director Yan, who had more experience in the steel rolling mill.

"Thank you for the compliment. Anyway, I'm here. We'll do the same thing in the future as you and Director Yan cooperated and worked together in the past. It's just like following the old rules. To be honest, I'm taking advantage of you." Zheng Liangshu's position and mentality are very good. As a comrade trained by the leader, he has a good grasp of things.

"Thanks to me? Got promoted?" The level of the Third Factory has not changed. It is not common for two leaders to be promoted at once. Putting aside the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, Gao Zhendong was promoted half a level in the 17th Ministry of Machine Building. In theory, it was not because of the Third Factory, but because he served as the deputy chief engineer of the Third Rolling Mill.

"Not yet, haha." Zheng Liangshu smiled mysteriously.

The personnel changes involved far more than just Zheng Liangshu. When the news came together, Gao Zhendong realized that things had changed dramatically.

Gao Zhendong was not clear about the promotion status of his comrades at Beijing Steel Plant. He only knew that there were promotions. However, there were a lot of actions at the Third Rolling Mill.

Director Yang was transferred to the ministry. Although it was a lateral transfer, his administrative level was raised one level within the bureau level. At this level, every step forward was very difficult. In his previous life, he worked until 65 and was still in this position.

His vacant position was taken over by Lao Chen. On this point, Lao Chen also made a wrong estimate. He thought that for the department, if the Third Rolling Mill was drained too thoroughly, it would easily affect the work of the Third Rolling Mill. Therefore, such senior leaders in the factory could not leave too often.

Deputy Director Li is still the deputy director, but he has taken a half step forward. Like Director Yang, he has not made any major changes, but his administrative level has been raised by one level. At the same time, his ranking in the factory organization meeting has also moved up a small step, moving up one place.

Director Yan of the Third Factory was transferred to a slightly smaller factory within the system but of the same level as the deputy director. This was considered to be what he had wished for and he was being valued, which made him very happy. He was very attentive when handing over the job, which also allowed Zheng Liangshu to get into the state faster.

As for personnel and salary changes below the middle level in the factory, it is not the department's business; it is the factory's own business.

In short, under the general favorable environment of the Third Rolling Mill this year, the self-worth of quite a number of comrades has been further realized.

Of course, there are also those who remain stagnant or even become increasingly miserable. There are two such people in the courtyard.
