Revolution 1938

() Pumpkin Lane, located in the south of the old train, covers an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters. This is the famous Xiazhijiao in Puhai, and it is also the gathering place for skilled workers closest to the concession in Puhai. Except for those who eat at the station In addition to hardworking workers, there are also a large number of skilled workers who were discarded in Puhai by the government of the Republic of China as garbage as key industrial bases such as the Puhai Steel Plant moved south. Among them are the steel workers of the original Puhai Steel Plant. mostly.

These strong men with no hope of livelihood could hardly find a living after the Japanese occupied Puhai. The original factories moved south one after another. Except for the technicians in key positions, the Kuomintang military masters had no interest in them assholes. .

And the Japanese who later occupied Puhai were not good people either. They had no interest in building industries in Puhai, nor did they care about their lives. They often arrested and shot poor people like them for no reason. They were sent to the captain and the barracks to build bunkers and military facilities, and they were given almost nothing to eat. They were thrown into the Huangpu River when they died of starvation and exhaustion.Rarely have they come back.

It has been almost a year without work, and Sun Shitou, who went to the train station early in the morning to wait for the anti-package, finally failed to find the owner of the cargo to invite him, and returned home with nothing.

"Old coffin, I haven't found a job yet. The family can't get rid of the pot. What do you think I should do? Why am I so unlucky to find a man like you? I don't have money, I don't have skills, how can I be so unlucky!"

Seeing his mother-in-law making jokes, Sun Shitou couldn't get up at all. Who made him incompetent? Even going to the station to sell his strength is often not wanted by anyone. I think when I married this woman, I I became a first-class worker in the steel rolling workshop in the steel factory, and I received 20 oceans a month. How glorious it is.

Unexpectedly, since Ri himself, the steel mill has moved to the mainland, and a large number of brothers in the steel mill and himself have never found a decent job. The savings from previous years have been used up. Sun Shitou's heart ached as he watched the ravioli on the side of the road drooling.

Forget it, pawn that.Thinking of this, Sun Shitou climbed onto the bed next to the wall, lifted the wall tiles next to his pillow, took out a small cloth bag, and was about to go out.

"Boss, this is your food guy. If you go back to the factory after it's gone, how will you work?"

The woman who was still crying just now saw that Sun Shitou took out his lifeblood and was about to go out to pawn, so she rushed over crying.He accidentally knocked the package wrapped in oiled paper on the ground, and a pair of thick gloves, a pair of well-made dark goggles and a thin book fell out of it.

"Hey, the factory has moved to the mainland long ago. Ri himself is so poor in the future, how could he go back to the steel factory. Don't worry about these things, give the children something to eat." While speaking, Sun Shitou put the food on the ground He picked up his things, and carefully wiped off what was on the goggles with the inner layer of his coat. "Forget it, survival is the most important thing." The reluctance between the words flashed on his face.

Just as old man Sun pushed away his mother-in-law's hand and walked out of the door, a slender figure with glasses came in from the door, "Master Sun, what are you going to do?" said the smiling man While shaking the oil paper bag in his hand, "I haven't eaten lunch yet. I brought pork head meat and the best daughter's red, as well as some vegetables and rice. Let my sister-in-law cook something delicious for us to drink for two." cup?"

While talking, the two children, who had clearly smelled the smell of meat, ran over from behind the man, yelling, "There's meat to eat, there's meat to eat", extremely joyful.

At that moment, Sun Shitou's mother-in-law burst into tears involuntarily. After wiping them away secretly, she quickly took the rice bag on her slender shoulders and said, "Okay, I'll go to the neighbor's house to borrow some oil and salt. I'll make a good meal for you." While speaking, he led the two children out the door and let the two brothers talk.

"Zhao Jiji, your family is not well-off, how can you spend so much money?"

"It's okay, I'm the one who can feed the whole family by myself, what are you worrying about! Why, Master Sun, you want to treat this as a treasure, how can this be done." While speaking, he snatched the goggles and put them on his face I looked around.

"I always want you to help me, so I'll give you these things, and it's useless for me to hold them, especially this notebook, it's better for you to hold it, I don't know much Chinese characters, so I'd better show it to you educated people. "

"Okay, Brother Sun, what's the matter with eating and drinking? Who is who between us? If you hadn't spoken nicely in front of Engineer William, how could he have accepted me to study beside him? Besides, no one in the whole factory knows Shi Big brother, your German was enough to have a direct conversation with William back then, and if you can’t read, didn’t you blame me, you still keep your treasure, a gentleman doesn’t take away the beauty of others.”

"Oh, what's the use? The factory is gone, and I have no place to use my skills. This world! How can we live, Brother Zhao, when the factory moved to the mainland, you really should leave and stay in Pudong. Why should Hai accompany us old brothers."

"Brother Sun, you are wrong to say that. It's not like you don't know how much I hate that fake foreign devil. He obviously doesn't know how to command all day long, because he has fewer accidents? I won't follow him. In the mainland, you old brothers are gone, and with his blind instructions, I don’t know how many people will die.”

Speaking of this brought back memories of Sun Shitou, and he couldn't help but sighed deeply.

"However, Master Sun, I am not here today to reminisce with you. Let the bad things of that year pass. I am here today to discuss something with you."

"It turns out that you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace if you have nothing to do. If you have something to say, will your grandson help you?"

"No, that's right. Brother Sun is also one of the best figures in the factory. Do you know that Ri himself was beaten away two days ago?"

"I know. I thought that if Ri himself was beaten away, the factory might move back. However, I received a letter from Xiao Ma two days ago, saying that the newly moved factory has started to produce molten iron. It seems that it is impossible to toss any more Moved back again."

"Hehe, I know this. Xiao Ma also wrote to me, asking me to go and re-enter the factory, but I wrote back and refused him."

"Ah, such a good opportunity, why do you refuse it!"

"This is not true. The new government that beat the Japanese away issued a notice to re-establish a steel factory on the ground of the old factory. Now it is recruiting workers. I thought about it and went to try the job. It is not because they accepted it."

"New factory? Is it still a steel factory?"

"Of course it's still a steel factory, and I don't know anything else."

"Have you checked the furnace? How much molten iron can be produced at one time?"

"I haven't seen this yet. The factory is still preparing the ground, and the furnace hasn't been seen yet. I went in to work as a field technician. I need to train for 3 months. I took the first class yesterday."

"New factory, wait until the furnace is in place, it won't be next year, alas..." Hearing that the possible factory is still early, Sun Shitou naturally sighed again.

"Master Sun, don't sigh. I came here today because I want you to call everyone for a trial work. The old expert who trained us yesterday heard that I worked in the factory, so let me ask everyone if they would like to come over. work.

Although the factory has not been built yet, there are still many things to do, such as tidying up the workshop, laying track roads and so on. Moreover, the new factory will be much larger than the old factory, and the land around the old factory has been circled. It is said To dismantle and build a new workshop. "

"Oh, really? They want all the old brothers?"

"The old expert said that all the brothers in the old factory can go to work, start with the cleaning of the factory, start training when the equipment is coming soon, and then assign jobs. The other party said that the worst salary is 25 yuan a month. , absolutely guarantee that the whole family can have a full meal.”

"25 yuan, that's a good idea. When the other party can let us see a job, my old brothers and I will tell each other."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I will talk to the old experts when I go to the training class at night."

"That's good, you can accompany me to meet some old brothers after dinner." While speaking, Sun Shitou's mother-in-law came back with two children, holding in her hand the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar borrowed from the neighbors. The child's face was full of happiness, full of longing and joy for the pork that he could eat.

……

On the other side, Zhou Xiangyu was visiting the future industrial base accompanied by Xia Haian and Tang Xing.

"Prime Minister, this will be the location of the first steel factory built by our fleet in the future. This is the original site of the Puhai Steel Plant. Since the old factory moved to the mainland last year, it has been used by Japan as a cargo warehouse. After we occupied it, we found 4000 tons of marine steel, more than 9000 rails, and more than 60000 tons of steel ingots. In addition, there were more than 5000 bales of raw silk, 3000 pieces of cotton cloth, and countless other miscellaneous goods.”

"This is all obtained by the Japanese themselves from plundering our common people."

"Yes, I guess the various steel products in it were the products of Puhai Steel Plant, and they were left in the warehouse during the relocation, and were picked up by Ri himself."

"That's right, we are taking advantage of it now, isn't it? If these materials can be transported to Yan'an, how many guns and ammunition can be produced, and how many military uniforms can be produced. Jiang Kaishen is used to being the captain of the transportation team, so he doesn't feel bad at all!"

"Hehe, yes, his name as a captain is better than his name as the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy. Who in the future will not know his generosity?"

While talking, several large transport vehicles drove in and stopped, and the unloading personnel waiting at the side of the warehouse rushed up and cooperated with the forklift to start unloading the goods.

"This truck is really big. There are several turtle cars with a small Japanese roof. When can we build it ourselves?"

"It's coming soon, just wait until our steelmaking plant and machinery factory are built, and then we can build several cars in a day."

"Yes, everything needs steel. Our country is really lacking in industry. As far as the output of steel is, I don't know how much less than other people's small ri."

"Hehe, Prime Minister, don't worry, have you seen these boxes? They are all the latest equipment of that era. Our fleet brought a lot of steel materials and iron ore when it came, and the steelmaking equipment we are purchasing has not yet arrived. Before Puhai, we would first design and build a set of small refining and processing equipment, which would be used as a matrix for industrial proliferation.

At that time, foreign low-end equipment and our own high-end refining equipment will form a complete combination of high and low, and we will be able to produce the steel we want soon. At that time, the Prime Minister must come to see how the steel is made. forged"

"That's for sure." Zhou Xiangyu said while watching the lively scene not far away, filled with emotions!
