Chapter 513 Muha Railway opened to traffic!
Mulan Railway Station,
Beside the railway tracks, colorful flags fluttered and flowers bloomed, as if offering the most sincere blessings for this great moment. On the platform, the crowds were bustling and looking forward to it. Their faces were filled with excitement and expectation, and their eyes were closely following the slowly approaching train.
Today, the military and political officials of Mulan City,
Representatives of various construction units of the Muha Railway,
People from all walks of life gathered together,
The Muha Railway was finally opened to traffic ahead of schedule on September 9!
Standing in front of the microphone was Director Chen, who was in charge of the economy of the Northeast Bureau. As his long speech came to an end, he gave the order.
"I declare that the Muha Railway has been successfully opened to traffic!"
The huge locomotive spewed out white steam, like a giant dragon waking up from its slumber. The whistle sounded loud and distant, cutting through the sky and conveying joy and hope to all around.
The children cheered and the adults hugged and talked to each other excitedly, and the scene was filled with a warm atmosphere.
The train body shone with metallic luster in the sun, and the red wheels rubbed against the rails, making a rhythmic clanging sound, like an exciting movement. As the train accelerated, the wind whistled in my ears, and the scenery outside the window quickly receded, forming a flowing picture.
The train, with billowing smoke and powerful power, drove forward towards Harbin, starting a new journey and connecting countless dreams and futures.
Entering September,
Good news keeps coming.
On September 9, the Mulan Military Sub-district Headquarters was completed and delivered.
On September 9, the first phase of Mulan New Town was completed and delivered.
On September 9, the second phase of the Mulan Arsenal project was completed and delivered.
On September 9, all refinery equipment has been completed!
On September 9, the second phase of Bin County Iron and Steel Plant was completed and delivered!
On September 9, that is, today, the Muha Railway was successfully opened to traffic!
On the platform, Director Chen looked at the train loaded with military uniforms, quilts, shoes, canned food, live pigs and other supplies, and said to Yin Xinjun excitedly,
"This railway was opened at the right time. The headquarters has just established the 8th, 9th and 10th columns, and the Liaoji column has been reorganized into the 7th column. We are in urgent need of a large amount of supplies!"
Yin Xinjun also said happily,
"Director Chen, there is one more thing. Starting tomorrow, the equipment for the refinery can be transported to Anda County via this railway!"
"By the way, the refinery equipment has been completed. Has military production resumed now?"
"We have gradually resumed production since last month and have now reached our highest level. We can produce 200 guns and 500 shells of various types every day!"
After Siping was liberated, the arsenal added more than 1000 workers, and with the completion of the refinery equipment, the Mulan Arsenal entered a period of accelerated production starting on September 9. However, a large number of workers were still engaged in the manufacture of tanks and aircraft!
"It's a timely relief! We will soon start the autumn offensive. The enemy has sent reinforcements from the interior, so we can just train our troops!" Director Chen's face was filled with joy and excitement!
"By the way, leader, have we discussed our PPSh-43 submachine guns with the Russians?"
In the Siping Battle, the battlefield analysis report submitted by the Eastern Alliance troops believed that the infantry units should be equipped with a batch of submachine guns, which would be beneficial to enhancing firepower in street fighting.
It is unrealistic to equip all members with STG44 automatic rifles. The production speed of this rifle is too slow, far inferior to the PPSh-43 which uses a large number of stamping parts! Moreover, even if Dingshan's 1st battle group is fully equipped with automatic rifles, due to the complex structure and difficult maintenance, the failure rate is still common!
For this purpose, Yin Xinjun chose the PPSh-43, a gun with a simple production process and easy maintenance. However, considering the current relationship with the Soviets, it is still necessary to obtain production authorization!
"It's already been negotiated. The Soviets are very straightforward this time and have even provided a full set of blueprints!"
Yin Xinjun smiled indifferently. He also had the blueprints! And the arsenal had already produced hundreds of submachine guns! No matter whether he authorized it or not, I'll just do it first!
In this life, there are not many places where you can ask the Soviets for help!
"Director Chen, is the 10th Independent Division going to be transferred?"
"I don't know much about the army. What's wrong?"
"It's still early before the end of the year. Didn't the Harbin-Jiamusi Railway project headquarters approve it? I plan to start construction of the Harbin-Jiamusi Railway, from Harbin to Binxian, Fangzheng, and all the way to Jiamusi!"
Infrastructure is the main means to drive economic growth and ensure social employment. With the completion of several major projects, many workers have become free!
As the pace of infrastructure construction this year was too fast, projects were completed one after another before the weather got cold, so Yin Xinjun considered launching a batch of new projects in a timely manner to give these infrastructure workers something to do.
In addition to the Harbin-Jiamusi railway project, Yin Xinjun will also start construction of the Mulan-Tonghe railway, and later plans to extend it to Yilan County. There are also a large number of resettlement housing projects in various counties, new urban areas in Fangzheng, Bin County, and Tonghe County, with a total construction area of 220 million square meters, and road network reconstruction and expansion projects in various counties, with a total length of 1200 kilometers! All of them are scheduled to start construction in September this year!
In addition to infrastructure projects, a large number of factories are also planned, such as Bin County Agricultural Machinery Factory, Bin County Steel Plant Phase II, Mulan County Generator Factory, Mulan County Glass Factory, Mulan County Electric Light Factory, Tonghe County Construction Engineering Machinery Factory, Tonghe County Tire Factory, and Fangzheng County Machine Tool Factory. Regardless of whether there are workers to work or not, Yin Xinjun has the machine tools and drawings, so he can build the factory first.
Now the total population of the four counties in Mulan Special District has reached 90! Half of them are people who migrated here later. With the continuous production of factories, the floating population is still increasing every month! The demand for infrastructure and housing is huge!
After listening to this, Director Chen asked,
"This railway will cost a lot of money to build. Does the Mulan Special District have that much money now?"
Yin Xinjun smiled. In fact, the cost of his project was very low. The most expensive thing was the labor cost. The raw materials and other resources were all produced in his own state-owned factories. Many of them were even directly taken out from the space. Normally, he only needed 20% of the funds to complete a project!
“Director Chen, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. We can spend a little money to boost economic development in most areas. This is very cost-effective!
For example, once the Mulan-Harbin Railway is open to traffic, a large number of industrial products can be transported to Harbin, Qiqihar, and Mudanjiang via the railway line, and all kinds of ores and coal there can also be transported to Mulan. Later, when we liberate Shenyang, Changchun, and Jinzhou, the economic development of the Northeast will begin to take off!"
Director Chen also said,
"After hearing what you said, our headquarters has to adjust its thinking. The next step is how to integrate resources, technology, and labor to rapidly develop the economy of Northeast China!
By the way, I want to inform you that this military commendation meeting will be held in the auditorium of your Mulan Military Sub-district!"
This commendation meeting is to commend individuals and groups who have made outstanding contributions to the summer offensive. It is also the first commendation after the implementation of the military-industrial system. Because the headquarters has been very busy, it has been delayed until now. Considering that the autumn offensive will be launched soon, this meeting was specially held to boost military morale!
