Su Wen had made a great contribution to the military industry of the Eighth Route Army. Liu Ming would definitely not treat Su Wen unfairly.
This time, Liu Ming personally met Su Wen. Other than wanting to see this military genius, he also wanted to represent the organization to reward Su Wen.
For a talent like Su Wen, the Eighth Route Army naturally would not treat him badly.
Liu Ming took out the organization's commendation order and handed it to Su Wen."Comrade Su Wen, this is the commendation order given to you by the Eighth Route Army headquarters in recognition of your contribution to our military!”
A commendation from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters was a rare honor for an individual.
Su Wen received the commendation token with both hands and said,"Thank you for the commendation from the headquarters, but this is what I should do as a military worker.”
He was neither arrogant nor impatient.
Liu Ming admired Su Wen more and more.
"Not bad!" Liu Ming looked at Su Wen and said,"Comrade Su Wen, in view of your outstanding contribution, the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the Military Industry Department have decided to let you be the deputy director of the Eighth Route Army's Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory."”
The Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory was a very important factory under the Eighth Route Army's Military Industry Department.
The largest arsenal of the Military Industry Department was the Huangya Cave Munitions Factory.
The Huangya Cave Arsenal was located in Shuijiao Mountain, 45 kilometers northwest of Licheng County, Shanxi Province. Its secret code name was "Eighth Route Army Headquarters Mobile Work Group" and later called "Engineering Battalion". Its predecessor was the Eighth Route Army Headquarters Hanzhuang Mechanical Repair Institute. Construction started in July 1939 and production began in December.
The entire plant area was about 2 square kilometers, and the workshop area was about 8000 square meters. There were more than 40 machines and equipment, including a Netherlandish precision machine tool, a three-section boiler for power equipment, a 10-kilogram direct current generator, and two 25-horsepower steam engines. Its main products were nearly 10 weapons such as Type 79 rifles, Type 81 rifles, 50 grenade launchers, and 50 grenade launchers.
This was the earliest factory under the Ministry of Military Industry, with the largest factory area, the strongest production capacity, the best quality, and the largest variety and quantity of production. It was also the largest military production base in the entire North China rear. It could produce weapons and ammunition for 16 regiments per year. It was called the "Pearl of the Palm" by Mr. Zhu and the "Little Tianjin on Taihang Mountain" by the masses.
Although the Taihang Munitions Factory had not been established for a long time, it had developed rapidly.
At this rate of development, the Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory would definitely become the most important arsenal of the Eighth Route Army.
Su Wen was stunned as he looked at Liu Ming." Minister, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate. I've just arrived at the Munitions Factory not long ago. If I become the deputy director of the Munitions Factory, I'm afraid this appointment is not very suitable."”
Liu Ming: " What's not suitable? If anyone in your arsenal is not convinced, let them make a Soviet-style AK47 rifle!”
"As long as he has the ability, I can give him the position of the Military Industry Minister.”
"Su Wen, don't worry and do it boldly. I support you!”
At this point, Su Wen did not refuse. Instead, he said,"Carl, don't worry. I won't let you down!”
Su Wen became the deputy director of the Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory. He could be considered the youngest director of the Eighth Route Army's military department.
There was no other.
This was also the greatest recognition of Su Wen's ability.
Su Wen also wanted to continue climbing up the ranks. Only by climbing to a high position could he mobilize more resources and conditions to research and develop the military industry.
The reason was very simple. Now that Su Wen was a researcher, if he wanted to obtain resources and conditions, he had to report to Chen Zheng or Zhao Tianming. It would be very troublesome for them to change the allocation of resources or to allocate resources to the higher-ups. Moreover, it would be very passive.
However, if Su Wen became the chief, the situation would be completely different.
Liu Ming nodded his head in satisfaction."Good, that's more like it!"
"Moreover, Comrade Su Wen, in order to ensure your safety, the headquarters has specially arranged a guard company for you. The primary mission of this guard company is to ensure your safety, and the second is for you to deploy!”
Guard Company?
Did it have to be so exaggerated?
Su Wen was stunned…
