Compared with the severe international situation, the domestic situation in the Republic gave Wang Yuanqing comfort.

On the evening of the 24th, Ye Zhisheng, who was temporarily in charge of the State Council, submitted a "Preliminary Summary Report on National War Mobilization" to Wang Yuanqing during dinner.

Because the casualties in the war are not large, or have not yet been revealed, war mobilization is mainly concentrated in the economic field dominated by military industry and the transportation field dominated by railways.

After receiving the country's war mobilization order, the three major domestic military-industrial groups immediately began to increase production.

In addition to extending the normal working hours of workers from 8 hours to 12 hours, the three major military-industrial groups have also tried every means to increase production capacity by re-hiring retired employees, improving production processes, improving production line efficiency, and improving raw material distribution systems. Aircraft manufacturing companies such as Chenfei, Chengfei, Xifei, and Shangfei have completed production adjustments in 2, and can reach the maximum design production capacity of the assembly line as soon as the end of the month; other military-industrial manufacturers are also taking active actions and can complete production adjustments at the latest in early December.

The most problem with increasing production capacity is not raw materials and supporting industries, but technical workers.

Taking the fighter production line as an example, during the period, the production capacity of any fighter production line is about one-tenth of the maximum wartime production capacity, and the production capacity of some high-value advanced fighter production lines is even only one-twentieth. For example, the annual output of a j14 series fighter production line is less than 1c0 per day, and the maximum wartime production capacity must exceed 2000. Military production must have sufficient redundancy to quickly increase production capacity during wartime. This system itself has no problem, but often problems occur during the specific implementation.

In peacetime, when purchasing weapons and equipment, the purchase price will definitely be lowered to the maximum extent.

In order to obtain military orders, major military factories must reduce production costs. Even some weapons and equipment that are mainly export-oriented must be controlled. They can first obtain orders from our team before they can enter the international market and obtain orders from other countries. At the beginning, although Chengfei's Fc1 fighter jets were not poor in performance and were extremely cheap, their export volume was pitifully small. They sold less than 300 in several poor countries such as Pakistan through cooperative production. The reason is that the Republic Air Force did not purchase Fc11 in large quantities, which made many countries not very confident in this cheap fighter jet. For example, when Argentina purchased arms in the Republic, Cheng Fei once recommended Fc11 to be more expensive after comprehensively weighing various factors, but the J10 series fighter jets equipped by the Republic's Air Force only symbolically purchased a batch of Fc11.

These situations determine the way the military industry operates, and in order to reduce costs, personnel must be laid off.

During peacetime, most military-industrial enterprises will only retain technical workers in the place where the production line operates. Although the Republic issued relevant laws after the Peninsula War, it clearly required that major military-industrial enterprises must retain certain redundant technical workers in peacetime in order to quickly improve production capacity during wartime. However, under the collective opposition of military-industrial enterprises, this law ultimately only requires military-industrial enterprises to retain 15% of the personnel redundant.

The additional 15% of the technicians in the war were not very meaningful to increasing production capacity.

Without skilled technical workers, even the advanced production lines cannot operate normally. Especially in some advanced equipment manufacturing fields, the importance of technical workers far exceeds that of advanced manufacturing equipment. Taking the j14 series fighter jets as an example, although Shen Fei has improved the production lines and adopted a large number of industrial robots and automatic production technologies. However, dozens of important processes including spraying stealth coatings, installing electronic circuits, debugging electronic equipment, etc., are still only technical workers can complete, or require technical workers to conduct inspection and verification.

Cultivating a skilled worker from scratch, even if you directly recruit college students from engineering, it will take at least half a year.

Half a year later, I am afraid that the war has ended. Or the most intense stage of the war has passed.

"Major manufacturers are trying to find ways to train technical workers mainly by 'leading old to lead the new'." Ye Zhisheng followed Wang Yuanqing to work 1. The ability to handle administrative affairs is no worse than Zong Yingren. "Simply put, it means that retired workers from the place of re-hiring will lead college students from the place of graduation. They will teach them production experience and shorten the training time from six months to three months. However, major manufacturers still have great concerns."

"What are the concerns?" Wang Yuanqing knew the seriousness of the problem and attached great importance to it.

"In the afternoon, I spoke to the heads of the three major groups and more than a dozen manufacturers." Ye Zhisheng picked up the cigarettes placed on the table and said, "All the heads asked the same question, namely how long the war will last."

"What does it mean?" Wang Yuanqing frowned.

"The major manufacturers are fully recruiting technical workers. The war will end soon. ~.l6k ~ How to arrange it after the war?" Ye Zhisheng glanced at Wang Yuanqing and said, "After the war, the country will definitely adjust its economic structure, reduce military production capacity, vigorously promote people's livelihood economy, improve people's living standards, and eliminate the negative impact of the war on the people's life and production. If the production capacity is reduced, so many workers will be useless. Should the enterprise be fired or reduce the workforce?

Treatment? If the state issues laws to restrict state-owned military-industrial enterprises, then the more people they recruit, the more difficult it will be for the post-war development. Although the country has been supporting military-industrial enterprises, a domestic competition mechanism has been formed. Chen Fei's boss is complaining that we have purchased much more j15 than j14 and distributed the cake to Cheng Fei. Chen Fei did not get any benefits. If Chen Fei now expands production capacity desperately, he will definitely be destroyed in the future!”

Wang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, indicating that he understood Ye Zhisheng's meaning.

"The solution is not without it, but the price is not small." Ye Zhisheng took a look, observed Wang Yuanqing's expression change, and said, "No matter how doubtful, all major groups want to take this opportunity to expand their share and obtain more arms orders, and do not want to suffer losses due to blind expansion. Although most military-industrial enterprises are state-owned, there is always a difference in a bowl of water. I think the best solution is to speed up the recombination and merger of military-industrial enterprises and increase competitiveness, thereby arousing the enthusiasm of major arms groups."

“Is it that simple?”

Ye Zhisheng smiled bitterly and did not speak.

"I have considered this issue long ago. Our military industrial system must be reformed." Wang Yuanqing exhaled his breath, picked up a cigarette and said, "A few months ago, I asked Li Cunxun to collect relevant information from the United States and the European arms group to learn more about the military industrial systems of Western countries. Twenty years ago, our biggest problem was to solve the historical legacy problem, namely, properly resettle workers in the planned economy era and ensure that most workers can get job opportunities. For this reason, we missed many reform opportunities. When Mr. Ji was in power, he thought about adjusting the military industry to adapt to future needs. In the end, because he could not properly resettle a large number of workers, he had to postpone the reform. Now it seems that this problem no longer exists. As our country enters aging, labor has become the main factor restricting our country's development. Most workers in the planned economy era have retired, and the problem of workers' resettlement is no longer a problem."

"Yuan means..."

"Why can Western countries surpass us and become the rule of the world in a few hundred years?" Wang Yuanqing took two puffs of cigarettes and said, "It is not how advanced Western technology is, nor how profound Western culture is. You must know that before the Renaissance, the Western world was much behind us. The key is that Western countries have always regarded reform as the key driving force for social progress. Reform is a long-term plan. No matter when, we need reform, and we must unswervingly pursue reform policies. Even if we are already very strong, even if we become the world's number one power, reform is still an eternal and unchanging theme. Promoting reform is not only the responsibility of the predecessors, but also the accusation of our generation of leaders, but the responsibility of every leader of the Republic."

Ye Zhisheng smiled faintly. He had long known Wang Yuanqing's "reform view".

"Our top priority is to defeat the outside enemies. After defeating the outside enemies, we still have to implement reforms." Wang Yuanqing destroyed the cigarette butts and said, "Since the situation requires it, we will start with the military industrial system and reform military-industrial enterprises during the war, to meet the needs of the war and lay the foundation for future development."

"We can also take the opportunity to eliminate resistance to reform."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "If you have time, please talk to + Mu Hua. When I finish my work, you will come to see me with her."

“Publicize privatization?”

"It's not privatization, but the market economy."

Ye Zhisheng nodded and said nothing.

At this time, Jiaobashan came to the restaurant. Ye Zhisheng immediately stood up and said goodbye.

After Jiao Shan packed up the dishes, Wang Yuanqing took him to the study.

"Have you met with a college student representative?"

"I met the representatives of Peking University and Tsinghua University in the afternoon, and I plan to meet representatives of other universities in a few days."

"What is the attitude of college students?"

"Everyone is very active, and many representatives have taken the initiative to join the army and serve."

"Join the army?" Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "This is the matter of the Ministry of National Defense. College students are willing to serve the country. We should not only actively support it, but also give appropriate encouragement.

”

"Do you need to talk to Minister Ye?"

"Let's talk about it in a few days. Now Ye Zhisheng has to deal with not only the matter of war mobilization, but also the matter of military industry reform."

Jiao Wushan nodded and said, "When I meet the college student representatives, I will arrange time for you to meet them."

"This matter is easy to talk about. I will arrange it after I finish my important work. Remember to let the central and Beijing civil affairs departments do a good job in resettlement of college students in Beijing and not cause any trouble. Also, communicate with the Ministry of State Security and the Ministry of Public Security. If someone wants to cause trouble for us, millions of college students are the best goal."

"I have greeted the security department and the garrison headquarters has also received the news."

Wang Yuanqing frowned and said nothing more.
