Chapter 173 The old fox’s plan

The birth of a child brings a lot of laughter to the whole family.

Because it was a natural delivery, I was discharged from the hospital quickly.

Liu Tao felt the joy of becoming a father for the first time and learned how to hold a child.

Having more children brings more laughter to the family.

After being discharged from the hospital, Zhu Lin officially started confinement.

Confinement period is a big deal for any woman. If the confinement period is not done properly, a woman will be left with a lot of problems.

Liu Tao also started to deal with business.

In the Fifth Machinery Department, Liu Tao was in a meeting, and the leader specifically asked his name to attend the meeting.

This meeting is about the reform and development of third-tier factories.

"According to the current investigation, the third-tier factories mainly have the following problems." Wang Baoguo reported on the investigation.

The international situation has undergone turning changes. Although the danger of war still exists, the forces for peace have developed greatly, and the world is gradually moving from confrontation to dialogue.

Some third-tier enterprises that were originally established in preparation for the sudden outbreak of war and mainly produced military products were faced with many difficulties such as sharp reduction in military product tasks, idle production lines, declining economic benefits, serious corporate losses, and unstable workforce.

Coupled with the remaining problems caused by improper layout and site selection during construction, some companies have reached the point where they cannot sustain themselves.

After reform and opening up and focusing on economic construction were adopted as national policies, corresponding instructions were also issued to third-tier factories. The instructions included the eight-character policy of "adjustment, reform, rectification, and improvement."

The Fifth Machinery Department and other departments assembled a joint investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation into the situation at the third-tier factory.

After Liu Tao heard this, he was secretly shocked.

Many third-tier factories are in arrears with wages for one or two months.

At most, wages were owed for more than a year.

It can be said that it is very shocking!

The time has come for the third-line military factories to undergo reform.

Although third-tier military factories are now under the jurisdiction of the provincial defense management offices, rather than directly under the Ministry of Machinery.

However, as the person in charge of the country's conventional weapons work, the Fifth Machinery Department still has unshirkable responsibilities.

Liu Tao's heart also sank. He did not expect that the third-line military factory would be so serious.

You should know that there are several third-tier factories that have been merged into Panshan Machinery Factory, and six other factories have developed well because of their relationship with Panshan Machinery Factory as supporting factories of Panshan Machinery Factory.

In other words, only two third-tier military factories outside Yun Province can continue to operate without relying on funds allocated by superiors.

In this situation, we are only investigating the third-tier munitions factories under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Machinery Department. In addition, there are also third-line munitions factories under the jurisdiction of the Third Machinery Department, the Sixth Machinery Department, etc.

Now it is the Fifth Machinery Department that has the money, and the Fifth Machinery Department is the most active in approaching issues.

"Yun Province is currently in the best condition. There are basically no problems. The Yun Province National Defense Management Office will mainly assist in dealing with other third-tier military factories." Wang Baoguo said.

The so-called other third-tier factories refer to other third-tier military factories such as those that manufacture mines.

This category does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Ministry of Machinery.

Wang Baoguo reported on the situation of the third-tier factories in the arms industry system of each province one by one on a provincial basis.

Wang Baoguo’s report will also introduce the situation of other third-tier factories in these areas, so that everyone can have a more accurate understanding.

For example, your province is a key area for third-tier construction. Three major national defense and military industrial bases are located in your province, namely the 061 aerospace base, the 011 aviation base, and the 083 electronic industry base. It can be said that your province is one of the provinces with the most third-tier factories.

Guizhou Aviation Industry Production 011 Industrial Base is the highest scientific research and production base for my country's aerospace industry construction in the third-tier stage. The entire industrial base has nearly 50 companies with 70,000 employees. The affiliated companies are centered on Bijie and are located in the surrounding area. in several counties and cities.

There are also 061 Aerospace Industrial Base, 083 Electronics Industrial Base, etc., which are all large-scale.

Those falling under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Machinery Department are mainly factories that produce conventional weapons, but there are also many.

Before the third-line construction in your province, the industry was almost completely blank, with only a few small and medium-sized factories and some small workshops for craftsmen. In the "third line construction" stage, the state decided to create a number of leading enterprises in Guangxi Province and at the same time moved a number of factories from other provinces to Guangxi Province.

In the arms industry, a total of 18 factories have been built, such as Guangxi Jianhua Machinery Factory, Dahua Chemical Factory, People's Machinery Factory, Longjiang Machinery Factory, Nanning Mold Center, Junling Machinery Factory, Second Chemical Factory, Xinghuo Machinery shop and so on.

As for Sichuan Province, it can be said to be the center of third-tier construction!

During the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan Province was the rear area, and the third-line construction was naturally carried out. Sichuan Province was also the rear area, and it was the center of the third-line construction.

In the third-tier construction, one-third of the funds provided by the state to all third-tier provinces will be used for the construction of Sichuan Province. The third-line construction has also changed the economic structure of Sichuan Province. Heavy industry occupies the dominant position in the industrial structure of Sichuan Province. Based on heavy metal processing, power materials, and transportation, and with high-end technology industries as the forerunner, a new industrial structure has been established. The output value of heavy industry Accounting for more than half of the total industrial output value.

The entire third-line construction in Sichuan Province focuses on the Panzhihua Iron and Steel Base, the military industry supporting facilities centered on Shancheng, and the three main railway lines of Chengdu-Kunming, Sichuan-Guizhou, and Hunan-Chongqing. There are a total of 73 factories under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Machinery Department!

It can be said that Sichuan Province has the largest number of arms factories in the weapons industry system.

This number ranks first among the four southwestern provinces.

"Comrade Liu Tao, how about the arms industry parts of the four southwest provinces be incorporated into Panshan Machinery Factory?" The leader looked at Liu Tao.

Liu Tao's scalp was numb. There were so many weapons industry factories, more than a hundred in number, with more than 200,000 employees, plus more than a million family members.

He finally understood why the leader wanted him to attend the meeting, and it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

They are all a group of old foxes plotting against him.

Liu Tao smiled bitterly and said: "Dear leaders, our Panshan Machinery Factory is still digesting it. It won't be completed within this year. How can we take on this heavy burden again?"

Liu Tao shook his head repeatedly.

"If it doesn't work this year, there will be next year," the leader said. "Young people must be brave enough to take on responsibilities. The ministry's focus right now is to save large military factories. The first machine factory, the second machine factory, etc. all have to be managed."

The First Machinery Factory, one of the 156 major projects aided by the Soviet Union, is the country's largest tank manufacturer and its status is of no small importance.

The Second Machinery Factory, also located in Inner Mongolia, produces tanks and large special vehicles like the First Machinery Factory, but the specialty of the Second Machinery Factory is the production of large-caliber suppressive artillery.

These are all super-large military factories, surpassing Panshan Machinery Factory in terms of status and influence.

Panshan Machinery Factory used to be a third-tier factory, a small and medium-sized military factory, and it has only really emerged in the past two years.

However, super large military factories such as the First Machinery Factory and the Second Machinery Factory are different. These play a decisive role in the national defense construction of the Republic. There are countless leaders from these factories. Those factory leaders can be directly promoted to the leadership of the Fifth Machinery Department.

In principle, the conversion of third-tier military factories to civilians is the established goal, but the survey results show that the provincial defense management offices and local industrial bureaus have no way to properly relocate these third-tier military factories.

Not to mention other systems, the Fifth Machinery Department now has money, so naturally it will not just leave the military factories to which its system belongs to the local industrial bureau and the Yun Provincial Defense Management Office.

As for Panshan Machinery Factory, it had a lot of money and ability, so it was targeted by the leaders.
