The appearance of the new materials undoubtedly solved a large part of the problems that the Eighth Route Army was currently facing.
The chiefs made a decision on the spot. They wanted to set up the clothing factory and pharmaceutical factory as soon as possible. They wanted people and money, and all the supplies would be given priority to the Phoenix Mountain military base.
Regarding this, Chen Qi was naturally very happy. With the words of the few chiefs, their military base could release their restrictions and work hard.
"Comrade Chen Qi, do you have any other difficulties? If you do, you can take this opportunity to say it. If the headquarters can help you solve it, they will definitely help you solve it.”
The officers asked kindly.
Chen Qi thought about it and did not hide anything. He said directly,"Chiefs, our military base does have some difficulties that need the headquarters to think of a way to solve.”
"Oh, what difficulties? Tell me!”
"Yes, at present, our military base has three main difficulties that we need the headquarters to help solve. The first is the labor problem. Our military base has few workers to begin with. Now that we have to open a clothing factory, pharmaceutical factory, metal factory, and so on, we need more workers. I hope the headquarters can help solve this problem.”
Chen Qi said helplessly. This was also a problem that the military base urgently needed to solve.
After all, the factories in this era were different from those in the modern era. They could not achieve automaton, so the demand for workers was even greater.
Currently, there were eight to nine thousand workers in the Military Industry Department. It seemed like a lot, but once these workers were assigned to the various factories, they would be a little stretched.
Especially the garment factory, which had a greater demand for workers, especially female workers.
This would require the headquarters to think of a solution.
When the Bureau Chief heard this question, he did not hesitate at all and replied directly,"That's easy to handle. I'll get the comrades from the publicity department to publicize it to the villagers later and mobilize the masses. The power of the masses is great, so this problem isn't difficult to solve.”
"The second is the financial difficulties. Of course, we also know the difficulties of the headquarters, so we were thinking if we could ask the comrades in the logistics department and the comrades behind the enemy lines to help us take out the excess items in exchange for some operating funds.”
Chen Qi spoke slowly, voicing his thoughts.
When the Bureau Chiefs heard this question, they could not help but frown. They were in a difficult position.
This question seemed simple, but in fact, it violated the principles of the Eighth Route Army.
This was because, according to principle, the spoils of war seized from the front lines and the harvest from labor in the rear had to be handed over to the Yanzhou headquarters, which would then distribute them according to urgent needs.
To put it bluntly, it was a big pot of rice.
However, Chen Qi's request was clearly showing signs of special treatment.
Everyone knows the situation of the 8th Route Army. Even the headquarters are poor, but your Military Industry Department wants to keep a portion of the funds from selling their own materials. Have you considered the situation of the headquarters and the soldiers on the front line?
Therefore, this matter seemed very small, but it was actually very serious.
Chen Qi saw the few Bureau Chiefs frowning and knew that they had misunderstood. He immediately explained,"Chiefs, you've misunderstood.”
"What I mean is that our Military Industry Department can't just rely on the headquarters 'funds to survive. We have to find our own way out and learn how to make money.”
"My idea is to cooperate with the logistics department. The military department will develop and produce the items, and then sell them through the logistics department. The funds from the sales will definitely go to the headquarters, but a portion of this money must be used as the research and production funds of the military department.”
Chen Qi quickly voiced out his thoughts.
Doing scientific research was definitely a bottomless pit, and the Eighth Route Army was poor now. They definitely could not come up with scientific research funds, so Chen Qi could only think of a way himself.
At this point, Chen Qi also said with a serious expression,"Bureau Chief, I can guarantee you that every cent of the research funds given by the headquarters will be used wisely.”
" Furthermore, the issue of research funding is unavoidable. This is because technology will be the number one productive force in the future. For example, chemical fabrics and Aspirin are all products of technology. Without repeated experiments and research, it is impossible to create them.”
"Although the research process will consume a lot of funds, once the results are developed, it will be immeasurable for the development of our army and country. It can also create a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times the benefits.”
It was still the same sentence. Doing scientific research was definitely not something that could be done overnight, and it was not something that could be done by one person.
The amount of manpower, resources, and money spent in the process is definitely beyond your imagination.
The reason why the Eighth Route Army could achieve so much in such a short period of time and spend so little money was that they had been able to achieve so much.
It was entirely because Chen Qi had cheated and directly brought out the technology to manufacture the finished product.
For now, the situation at the Phoenix Mountain military base could not be called scientific research and development at all. It could only be considered factory manufacturing.
This was obviously not something Chen Qi wanted to see.
What he needed was a mature research team, not a bunch of technical workers.
Therefore, he also consciously began to train researchers belonging to the Eighth Route Army and the Dragon Country.
They were the key to the rise of the Dragon Country in the future and surpassing the western powers.
When the officers heard this, their expressions changed.
They didn't avoid Chen Qi and whispered to each other on the spot. In the end, the highest-ranking official made the decision.
"Comrade Chen Qi, the headquarters has agreed to your proposal. In the future, all the items of your military department will be negotiated and purchased by the logistics department. From the sales of the items, your military department can keep 30% as research and development funds for independent distribution, and the rest will be handed over to the headquarters.”
Chen Qi could not help but be overjoyed when he heard that. He immediately replied loudly,"No problem, Chief Hui!"
