Chapter 173 The Old Fox's Plan

The birth of the child brought more laughter to the whole family.

Because it was a normal birth, he was discharged from the hospital soon.

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

With another child, there was more laughter in the family.

After being discharged from the hospital, Zhu Lin officially began to take care of the confinement period.

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

Liu Tao also began to deal with business.

In the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, Liu Tao happened to be in a meeting, and the leader specifically called him to attend the meeting.

This meeting was about the reform and development of the third-line factories.

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

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

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

In addition, due to the legacy problems caused by improper layout and site selection during construction, some enterprises have reached the point where they can no longer be maintained.

Since the reform and opening up and economic construction as the center were made as national policies, corresponding instructions have been given to the third-line factories, with the eight-character policy of "adjustment, reform, rectification, and improvement".

The Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and other departments formed a joint investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation of the situation of the third-line factories.

After listening to this, Liu Tao was secretly shocked.

Many third-line factories have owed wages for one or two months.

The most owed wages for more than a year.

It can be said that it is very shocking!

The third-line military factories have reached the point where they have to reform.

Although the third-line military factories are now under the jurisdiction of the provincial defense management offices, rather than the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

However, as the person in charge of the country's conventional weapons work, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building is still responsible.

Liu Tao's heart sank as well. He didn't expect that the third-line military factories were so serious.

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

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

This situation is only investigating the third-line military factories under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Machine Ministry. In addition, there are third-line military factories under the jurisdiction of the Third Machine Ministry, the Sixth Machine Ministry, etc.

Now the Fifth Machine Ministry has money, and the Fifth Machine Ministry is the most active in approaching the problem.

"Yunnan Province is currently in the best situation. There is basically no problem. The Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office will mainly assist in dealing with other third-line military factories." Wang Baoguo said.

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

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

Wang Baoguo reported the situation of the third-line factories in the weapons industry system of each province one by one, taking the province as a unit.

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

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

The 011 industrial base of the aviation industry in Guizhou Province is the highest scientific research and production base for the basic construction of my country's aerospace industry during the Third Line stage. The entire industrial base has nearly 50 enterprises and 70,000 employees. The affiliated enterprises are centered in Bijie and spread across several surrounding counties and cities.

There are also 061 aerospace industrial bases, 083 electronic industrial bases, etc., all of which are large in scale.

And those under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building are mainly conventional weapons factories, and there are also many of them.

Before the construction of the Third Line, the industry in Guizhou Province was almost blank, with only a few small and medium-sized factories and some small workshops of handicraftsmen. During 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 field of weapons industry, 18 factories were built, such as Jianhua Machinery Factory, Dahua Chemical Factory, People's Machinery Factory, Longjiang Machinery Factory, Nanning Mold Center, Junling Machinery Factory, Second Chemical Factory, Xinghuo Machinery Factory, etc.

As for Sichuan Province, it can be said to be the center of the Third Line Construction!

During the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan Province was the rear area, and naturally the Third Line Construction, Sichuan Province was also the rear area, and even the center of the Third Line Construction.

During the Third Line Construction, one-third of the funds provided by the state to all Third Line provinces were used for the construction of Sichuan Province. The Third Line Construction also changed the economic structure of Sichuan Province. Heavy industry occupies a dominant position in the industrial structure of Sichuan Province. Based on heavy metal processing, power materials, and transportation, and guided by high-end science and technology industries, a new industrial structure has been established, and the output value of heavy industry accounts for more than half of the total industrial output value.

The entire Third Line Construction in Sichuan Province focuses on the Panzhihua Steel Base, the military industry supporting facilities centered on the mountain city, and the three railway trunk lines of Chengkun, Sichuan-Guizhou, and Hunan-Chongqing. There are 73 factories under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Ministry of Machinery!

It can be said that Sichuan Province has the most military factories in the weapons industry system.

This number ranks first among the four southwestern provinces.

"Comrade Liu Tao, how about the weapons industry of the four southwestern provinces be transferred to 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, more than 200,000 employees, and more than a million with their families.

He finally understood why the leader wanted him to attend the meeting. It turned out that they were waiting for him here.

They were all a group of old foxes, calculating him.

Liu Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Dear leaders, our Panshan Machinery Factory is still digesting it. It can't be digested this year, so how can we take on this heavy burden again."

Liu Tao shook his head repeatedly.

"It's not possible this year, isn't there next year?" The leader said, "Young people should be brave to take responsibility. Now the focus of the ministry is to save large military factories. The First Machine Factory, the Second Machine Factory, etc. have to be taken care of."

The First Machine Factory, one of the 156 major projects assisted by the Soviet Union, is the country's largest tank manufacturing plant and has a very important status.

The Second Machine Factory, also located in Inner Mongolia, produces tanks and large special vehicles like the First Machine Factory, but the Second Machine Factory's specialty is manufacturing large-caliber suppression artillery.

These are all super-large military factories, and their status and influence have surpassed Panshan Machinery Factory.

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

However, super-large military factories such as the First and Second Machine Factories are different. They have a pivotal position in the national defense construction of the Republic. There are countless leaders who have come out of these factories, and those factory leaders can be directly promoted to the Fifth Ministry of Machinery as leaders.

In principle, the military-to-civilian conversion of third-line factories is a set goal, but the survey results show that the provincial defense management offices and local industrial bureaus have no way to properly place these third-line military factories.

Not to mention other systems, the Fifth Ministry of Machinery now has money, so naturally it will not watch the military factories belonging to its system being handed over to the local industrial bureaus and the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office.

And Panshan Machinery Factory, with a large sum of money and ability, was targeted by the leaders.
