The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 318: University expansion?

"Leader, I suggest that all universities conduct military training, and some universities even conduct centralized training in the army." Liu Tao said: "This is conducive to the construction of military-civilian integration, and can allow college students to have a better understanding of the military and attract some college students to join the army."

"If the army wants to build and develop, it needs more talents to enter, and it is imperative to improve the educational level of the army!" Liu Tao said: "Now the construction of our combined brigade has exposed a big problem. The soldiers can only perform simple operations, which cannot fully utilize the advantages of the equipment."

"Nowadays, weapons and equipment are becoming more and more advanced, and the requirements for soldiers operating them are also getting higher and higher. Only by truly mastering all the technologies can we truly bring into play the advantages of weapons and equipment." Liu Tao did not hide the problems that existed in the combined brigade.

It doesn't mean that if the driver can drive the tank, the gunner can fire the gun, and the commander can give commands, then they are qualified.

That was just the most basic requirement, and it didn't even meet Liu Tao's idea of ​​qualification.

In his mind, even the heavy combined brigade that was previously close to full strength was actually just a form in itself.

Because there is no way to take advantage of our weapons and equipment.

Even though Zhao Guoping organized cultural classes to improve the cultural level of the soldiers, the effect was not that great.

Those who study hard and are able to learn are always a minority!
Now the three combined brigades are fully staffed, and what they lack is large-scale equipment. However, this does not mean that these people will not be moved in the future. Some people will still be eliminated every year, and then a group of people will be recruited from universities and colleges every year to continuously improve the academic level of the three combined brigades.

At the same time, some younger soldiers are also recruited.

However, these soldiers were not recruited by the combined brigades themselves, but were recruited and trained by the troops and then assigned to the three combined brigades.

An iron camp and flowing soldiers!

It is cruel. Many soldiers like life in the barracks and are reluctant to leave the army. However, this is necessary because the barracks must maintain fresh blood circulation for healthy development.

There are also soldiers who are injured during training and, after treatment, are still not suitable to continue staying in the army, so they will also be arranged to leave the army.

"I'll have someone study your suggestion." The old man nodded.

Liu Tao said, "Leader, there is one more thing. I suggest that universities expand their enrollment! The demand for talent is too great now!"

In 1979, 468 million people took the college entrance examination nationwide, 28 were admitted, and the admission rate was 6.1%.

In 1980, after the pre-selection system, some students were unable to take the college entrance examination. The number of college entrance examination candidates nationwide was 333 million, and the number of admitted candidates was 28, with an admission rate of 8%.

In 1981, 259 million people took the college entrance examination nationwide, 28 were admitted, and the admission rate was 11%.

By last year, 1982, 187 million people took the college entrance examination nationwide, 32 were admitted, and the college entrance examination admission rate was 17.1%.

In other words, after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the number of admissions was 28 for several consecutive years, and it was only last year that the number of admissions increased by 4.

This admission rate includes both junior college and undergraduate admission rates.
In this era, many people do not have the opportunity to go to high school, let alone go to college. Those who can get into technical secondary schools are the elites, while those who go to high school are relatively ordinary. After all, technical secondary schools and technical schools have allocations.

Therefore, many outstanding students, due to family difficulties and other reasons, have chosen to take the technical secondary school entrance examination. By taking the technical secondary school entrance examination, they can be assigned a job after graduation and have a stable job as soon as they graduate, or they can continue their studies and enter a normal college.

But overall, the number of college entrance examination admissions is still relatively small.

As for the increase in the admission rate, it is because the number of people taking the college entrance examination is small, not because they are unwilling to take the college entrance examination, but because there is a pre-selection examination system before the college entrance examination. Although this system is a bit cruel, it has invisibly improved the quality of college entrance examination candidates. The reason is that the pre-selection examination before the college entrance examination will eliminate many students. In the end, only five or six times the number of college entrance examination candidates are left to take the final college entrance examination.

The old man said helplessly: "The country is undergoing reforms now, and can't provide too much funding for education. College students need living subsidies and job assignments, so expanding enrollment will cause many problems."

"Don't be anxious, take it slow, and take one step at a time. Everything will be fine," said the old man.

Expanding enrollment involves all aspects.

The university does not have enough classrooms, dormitories, and teaching staff.
It can be said that there are no conditions for large-scale expansion of enrollment at present.

Liu Tao nodded slightly, and he also realized that he was too impatient. You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient.

To be honest, decades later, facing the employment pressure of millions of college graduates every year is actually a happy trouble.

In this era, technical secondary school students are in great demand.

The completion ceremony of the tank production and manufacturing base also means that the tank production and manufacturing base has been completely completed, and the next step is to increase production capacity.

It will take three to five years to train a team of skilled workers and form a mechanism so that the tank production and manufacturing base can produce 2500 tanks and armored vehicles of various types annually under normal circumstances, that is, eight hours of production a day.

After the leaders left the tank production and manufacturing base, Liu Tao also prepared to go to Beijing.

It is spring in the capital city, and everything is full of vitality.

The sky is clear and the air is full of freshness.

Beijing, Siheyuan.

Liu Tao and Zhu Lin were walking in the garden, each holding a child, while their son and daughter were playing in the garden.

After returning to Beijing for vacation, Liu Tao was completely relaxed and enjoying the warmth of his family.

After this period of rest and recovery, Zhu Lin has recovered well and his figure can be said to have been fully restored.

"The two little guys are now quarreling every day over toys. My head is buzzing," said Zhu Lin.

Liu Tao said: "Thank you for your hard work. It will be fine once the children go to school."

Now there are two children fighting over toys, next year there will be four children, and the scene will be even more lively.

In order to take care of the child, in addition to Liu Hongying, Liu Tao also hired a relative to help take care of the child.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to take care of them.

"It will take several more years!" said Zhu Lin.

"When the child is older, maybe next summer you can open a flower shop." Liu Tao smiled, "You'll have something to do then."

Zhu Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

This was something she had wanted to do last year, but plans did not move as fast as changes, and she had to give up because of her pregnancy.

If I could open a flower shop, it would be more leisurely, I could look at flowers and plants every day, sell flowers and take care of children at the same time.

The most important thing is to have something to do.

A woman must have something to do so that she won't have any random thoughts.

If she were asked to stay at home to take care of the children all the time, Zhu Lin would feel like she was going stupid and crazy.

As for the original job, it is definitely impossible to do it again.

After all, the job was not easy and she couldn't bear to be away from her children.

This is what it is like to be a mother. When the child is around, she will feel annoyed, but when the child is not around, she will be thinking about and worried about the child.
