The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 47 Wang Tiezhu's Shock
It would be fine if you didn't check, but when you do, you'll be shocked.

The leader, who was originally smiling, froze on his face after finding out the truth.

"What! It's an account specially approved by the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building."

"Foreign exchange cannot be used easily. It must be approved by the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building!"

"Damn it, what the Fifth Machine Department is doing!"

The leader was furious, as if a cooked duck had flown away.

The leader was so angry that he wanted to go to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building to have a good talk with them. Wasn't this just a joke to him?

If this US dollar is sold to Hua Xia Bank, then he can be said to have made a great contribution, as this foreign exchange can be used to do a lot of things.

However, he also knew that if he wanted to argue, his rank was not high enough and he had to be the president of the bank to go.

"And there is this Panshan Machinery Factory, which is just a small and medium-sized state-owned factory, but it has generated such a huge amount of foreign exchange. What exactly does it do and what does it export to Iraq?" The leader was puzzled.

Panshan Machinery Factory is a third-line factory and a confidential unit.

Unless they are from the same system and have some knowledge of it, systems outside will not be able to uncover the truth.

All third-line factories and military factories are confidential units. Each factory has its own code name and its own factory name to the outside world, but often the factory name is not known to others as a military factory.

Many military factories, even if you superficially know about them, would simply be thought of as toy factories or furniture factories.

For example, the Panshan Machinery Factory that this leader found produces cutting tools.

But the leaders knew that since the account was specially approved by the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, how could it be used to produce ordinary knives? Maybe it was used to produce bayonets to be installed on guns.

In the evening, a meeting was being held in the conference room of the Provincial Defense Management Office of Yunnan Province.

"Old Wang, you can't do this. I know you came from Panshan Machinery Factory. It's normal for you to be a little biased, but you can't be so biased." An old man in his sixties was very angry and slammed the table: "Our Red Star Machinery Factory is the same as Panshan Machinery Factory. It was built in the same year, with the same scale and the same administrative level. Why should we transfer people from our Red Star Machinery Factory to Panshan Machinery Factory!"

The Red Star Machinery Factory, also a product of the Third Front Construction, is located in Qujing area.

"That's right. We are all brother units. Why should we transfer our people to Panshan Machinery Factory? Is Panshan Machinery Factory their biological child and we are the stepmother's children?"

"Old Wang, you have to be fair. We don't expect you to treat everyone equally, but at least don't be too partial. We are all human beings."

"We also have an important mission to produce weapons for frontline fighters."

"."

These people are the directors of various small and medium-sized military factories. The lowest administrative level is a section chief, and the highest is even a director-level cadre!

Everyone was very resistant to the idea of ​​deploying more workers to support Panshan Machinery Factory.

"You still have the nerve to say that if you work harder, you still need me to solve your problems?" Wang Tiezhu slammed the table in anger.

"All you do all day is apply for funding, but look at what your own factory produces, the quality is poor. When I asked you to send people to Panshan Machinery Factory to learn, you were negative." Wang Tiezhu also became angry.

There are various problems with these units.

The third line construction in Yunnan Province has built 164 enterprises and institutions, with an investment of more than 150 billion yuan, and is divided into two phases.

In the first phase, Yunnan Province focused on the construction of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, the Guiyang-Kunming Railway and supporting the Panzhihua steel industrial base.

In the second stage, Yunnan Province 'took preparation for war as the guideline' and stressed "military industry first, third-line first, supporting facilities first, and quality first".

The problems exposed in the military industry by the "Red Dragon's Roar" operation were shocking, and many military factory managers were punished.

"Director, your superior called and asked you to answer the phone immediately." Just then, the secretary came into the meeting room and said.

When Wang Tiezhu heard this, he hurried to answer the phone.

As soon as he answered the phone, the expression on Wang Tiezhu's face changed from astonishment to surprise!

"A huge order of 2467 million US dollars! Has the deposit of 1250 million US dollars been received?" "Okay, okay! I got it!"

"Yes, I will definitely assist Comrade Liu Tao in completing the task!"

"Understood! I understand! I must complete the mission!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect that he could actually do it. He's awesome! I can't help but admire him!" Wang Tiezhu was deeply moved.

The huge order of 2467 million US dollars is unprecedented and makes history.

After all, before, military aid to other countries was free of charge.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Tiezhu walked lightly, his face flushed and he grinned, without any trace of the anger he had in the meeting room.

When Wang Tiezhu walked into the conference room, all the participants were stunned.

How come he was so furious just now, but now he's smiling all the time after answering a phone call?

Could it be that Wang Tiezhu got promoted again? !

Wang Tiezhu said in a clear voice: "Just now, the superiors issued an order to go all out to support the Panshan Machinery Factory."

"This is not a negotiation. I'm not bargaining with you. This is an order from my superiors!" Wang Tiezhu said without question.

"Yes!"

Although the heads of the various military factories were extremely reluctant, since Wang Tiezhu had already said it was an order, they had to obey it.

You know, all military factories are still implementing the first level of combat readiness, and their previous leaders were just dismissed not long ago.

If they dare to disobey, they can be removed from office with just one order.

Wang Tiezhu did not tell anyone what Liu Tao had done, because it was still confidential and not suitable for too many people to know.

After the meeting, Wang Tiezhu thought about it and picked up the phone to call his leader. After all, the Provincial National Defense Management Office was also under the leadership of the province and the military region.

If he didn't report this to his superior, then when the superior held him accountable, the responsibility would be on him.

After the report, Wang Tiezhu pondered for a moment, thinking about what to do next.

In addition to allocating personnel to support Panshan Machinery Factory, another point is to ensure the supply of means of production.

Otherwise, if there are only people but no sufficient means of production, Panshan Machinery Factory will not be able to produce.

Here, it is necessary to temporarily adjust the planned production indicators.

Wang Tiezhu picked up the pen and began to write.

From being promoted from the director of Panshan Machinery Factory to the director of Yunnan Provincial National Defense Management Office, the resources that Wang Tiezhu was able to mobilize grew explosively.

In theory, all military-related state-owned factories in the province are under his jurisdiction.

He can also indirectly supervise those large state-owned factories directly under the ministries.

"We can take this opportunity to merge several factories into Panshan Machinery Factory, which will save us a lot of money every year." Wang Tiezhu also had his own plans in mind.

If you don't become a householder, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.

During this period, Wang Tiezhu also felt the pressure.

Every now and then, factory managers would complain that without funding, the factory would go bankrupt.

But there is not much funds available. After all, there is only a limited amount of funding each year, but there are so many factories. Every factory needs funding, so even if one dollar is used as two dollars, it will not be enough.
