Tang Hua: "Now we are on vacation in Beidaihe. It would be great if we could go back to the State Planning Commission to read their reports in the database."

Xue Muqiao: "There is no need to look for the database. Liugang only has paper reports, and I have already brought them to Beidaihe. Their factory has not yet been linked to the southern data sub-center."

The Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, which runs through the north and south of China, has a branch in Hunan, which is the Hunan-Guangxi Railway.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, after the Ministry of Railways completed the unfinished Hunan-Guizhou Line, this currently the only railway in Guangxi departs from Hengyang, Hunan, connecting Guilin, Liuzhou, and Nanning in a string, with Liuzhou in the middle.In addition to the railway, Liuzhou also has the Liujiang-Xijiang inland river route, connecting Liuzhou with Wuzhou and Guangzhou.

Now the source of iron ore for this small iron and steel plant in Liuzhou is the Tunqiu Iron Mine in Luzhai, which is very close to Liuzhou. A small 42-kilometer branch line, the Tunqiu Railway, has just been built, and the iron ore goes directly to the Liuzhou Iron and Steel Plant.

The total reserves of Tunqiu Iron Mine are 5000 million tons, with a grade of 40%, which is not low in China, but the phosphorus content is relatively high.The coal mines rely on several small coal mines near Liuzhou—there are no large coal mines in Guangxi, but there is no demand for coal for heating in winter in the south.As for the later period... Liuzhou Iron and Steel in the 21st century uses iron ore from Australia and coal from Vietnam.

Therefore, to develop industries in Liuzhou, the basic conditions and transportation infrastructure are quite good.

There are many river valleys and small plains near Liuzhou, and the area of ​​cultivated land is relatively large in Guangxi; there are hydropower resources, and the city does not lack water, but sometimes there is waterlogging; if there are not too many snail noodle shops in cities with poor air quality, it is fine to be the capital of Guangxi .

……

"After seeing the situation in Liuzhou and Guangxi as a whole, I feel that what Liuzhou needs is not a second small blast furnace, but a regular large steel mill," Tang Hua said. In addition to smooth steel bars and hot-rolled ribbed steel bars, iron blast furnaces may also produce rolled plates.”

Xue Muqiao: "Then it poses a big problem for the steel system, upgrading from a small blast furnace to a large steel plant."

Wang Heshou: "Last year we have been upgraded to a small steel factory. Near Jiujiang, the water and land transportation conditions are relatively good. ... But then again, Liuzhou also has good water and land transportation conditions."

Although the construction progress of the first small blast furnace of Liuzhou Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. was slow, the planning was good, especially when a branch railway line was built from the factory area to Tunqiu Iron Mine.At that time, Tunqiu Iron Mine was positioned as one of the iron ore centralized supply sites for small steel mills in Guangxi. If the second phase of the project was completed, it could supply 30 tons of washed iron ore per year, enough for 10 small blast furnaces. factory, or...enough for a 15-ton ironmaking blast furnace.

It seems that there must be three phases of the project to increase the annual supply of iron ore to 50 tons.

Xue Muqiao: "Tunqiu Iron Mine has built a railway, which has solved a large part of the problem. But then we have to consider that the supply of coal and coke will increase by 10 times, the coking plant will definitely expand, and we have to consider whether the coal mine should expand production. .”

Wang Heshou: "I think the most important thing is to prepare talents. Engineers and technicians will be transferred from all over the country to Liuzhou. According to the model of Jiujiang Iron and Steel Works, 500 to [-] people are needed. In fact, we have also supported several manganese mines in Guangxi. Three or four hundred backbones have passed."

Xue Muqiao: "In addition to recruiting talents from all over the country, local cadres in Liuzhou must also be drawn out to train several classes."

Tang Hua: "Do both. While preparing to mobilize key talents to go there, at the same time organize several special classes for cadre training. I seem to have met a class with mostly Guangxi cadres the year before last, but they spoke vernacular. Pay attention Yes, not only the iron and steel industry cadres in Liuzhou are trained, but also those from heavy industry, machinery, light industry, textiles, electric power, municipal administration, banking, etc. will be selected to take classes."

Xue Muqiao: "Not all of them. One of the classes I attended spoke Guiliu dialect. . . . Let's make it like this first. Engineers, technicians and management cadres will transfer 400 people to join Guiliu after one year; the ones who will be transferred soon are The backbone team for the construction project is 50 people, the sooner the better. The origin of the cadres who go to Liuzhou should also be selected as much as possible, and they must be able to eat sour bamboo shoots and adapt to life in the south.”

……

"You are planning to start the industry in Guangxi."

Tang Hua and Xue Muqiao showed Li Fuchun the draft of Liugang's plan to grow from small steel to large steel, and he said something.

"The provinces of Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Sichuan have large populations. Except for Sichuan, the economic development of the other three provinces is very backward," Tang Hua said. population potential. Moreover, if the industrial construction of these provinces stagnates, it will also hinder the development of the whole country.”

Xue Muqiao: "The three provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou, and Guangxi have relatively good basic conditions for industrial development. Let's start with the easier province."

Li Fuchun: "From the perspective of transportation, agriculture and mining, Guangxi may have better conditions, but there will still be many new problems in the construction. These problems may not exist in the Yangtze River Delta or Northeast. You have to solve these problems well. preparation."

Deng Fa: "The problems mentioned by Vice Premier Li are firstly that there are many ethnic minority areas in Guangxi, low cultural level of ethnic minorities, and extreme poverty; Third, the governance capacity of local cadres in Guangxi is, frankly speaking, still relatively poor.”

Tang Hua: "Secretary Deng, these difficulties must be overcome one by one in the future, but now in the first stage of work, we can first settle the above three problems in Liuzhou, and in the second stage, settle the cities of Guilin, Liuzhou, and Nanning, and clear out the An easy-to-use central axis, and then use the central axis as the basic plan to gradually solve the entire Guangxi."

Deng Fa: "The central axis... This layout is fine. After the Hunan-Guangxi Railway is completed, will it extend south from Nanning to Qin County-Fangcheng, and become a railway line that ends at the port?"

At this point in the discussion, Marshal Deng, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help it: "What about Baise, it seems that Baise has been abandoned?"

Li Fuchun: ...

Xue Muqiao: ...

Deng Fa: ...

Seeing that no one answered, Deng Shuai sighed: "Hey, after all, it is the westernmost place in Guangxi, so the priority is lower."

Tang Hua stood up and drew a line on the map, starting from Kunming, entering Guangxi, passing through Baise, Nanning, and Yulin, and then entering Guangdong directly to Guangzhou.

"This railway...we can just draw here," Tang Hua said, "If Minister Teng of the Ministry of Railways sees it, he might go crazy. There are many mountains and rivers, limestone karst terrain, and complex geology. Xiu. There will definitely be such a railway in the future, and it will drive not only Baise, but also Yunnan.”

Building a modern industrial system in an industrial desert is much harder. For a 15-ton blast furnace, the entire State Planning Commission and the industrial department must be linked, and the adjustment of cadres will definitely be reported to the Organization Department of the Central Committee.In contrast, the new Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant, which started construction at the end of July, did not even need to organize a meeting of people at the level of the deputy prime minister to discuss it.

The Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Works left over from the Republic of China was restored and put into operation in 1953, and a small expansion was carried out in 1954, increasing the annual output to 25 tons.But it is not easy to improve further.As for the urban agglomeration from Nanjing to Shanghai, the steel demand for industrial production and urban construction is not a small number, and neither the current Shanghai Iron and Steel Plant nor the Maanshan Iron and Steel Plant can meet it.

Therefore, in 1955, the State Planning Commission decided to build a new Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant.

Although the country can basically produce equipment for modern steel plants, the most suitable, best-quality and most reliable equipment package is a blast furnace with an annual output of 15 to 30 tons and the matching steelmaking furnace and steel rolling equipment.

Calculating the foreign exchange surplus of import and export trade at hand, it seems that there is still some money to spend, so Maanshan Iron and Steel's new plant, like Wuhan Iron and Steel and Baotou Steel, imported Soviet equipment.

The first phase of the project consists of two sets of Soviet iron-making blast furnaces of 1360 cubic meters per year with an annual output of 75 tons, combined with domestic oxygen top-blown converters, and the second phase of the project is two sets of 1360 cubic meters of iron-making blast furnaces. The first phase of the project was completed in 1959, and the second phase of the project was completed in 1962. Maanshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. directly entered the club with an annual output of 300 million tons.Because the two old blast furnaces and two open hearth furnaces have not reached their end of life, they will continue to produce. At that time, the total output of Maanshan Iron and Steel's old plant and new plant will reach 325 million tons per year.

In June 1956, the section of the Yangtze River near Ma’anshan was densely packed with inland cargo ships, and the newly expanded Yangtze River Wharf was fully occupied. Looking down from the nearby Maozi Mountain, it seemed that a section of the Yangtze River had turned into land. .The engineering equipment transported from Shanghai and Nanjing came ashore one after another, and drove to the construction site through the gravel road that was completed only two months ago.The engineering brigade first used prefabricated panels to build a large dormitory for construction workers that could not be seen at a glance, and then construction machinery moved in.

Now one-third of the engineering personnel are in place. Excavators and heavy trucks have become the main force of earthworks, and manual excavation is limited to some small building foundations.

When the foundation of the new factory is completed and the construction is in full swing, more engineering equipment will be transported from the Yangtze River.

During the construction of WISCO, the Wuhan Municipal Government mobilized 10 citizens and farmers to participate in the construction at its peak. The foundations of many factories were dug out with shovels and picks.The total manpower mobilized for the construction of Masteel's new plant was only 26000, including 5000 construction machinery construction personnel and 21000 mobilized migrant workers.

From Wuhan Iron and Steel in 1952, Baotou Steel in 1954 to Maanshan Iron and Steel's new plant in 1956, "large-scale modern iron and steel enterprises" are no longer difficult projects that China would faint upon hearing.

8 month 8 day.

"The All-Polish Committee of the Polish National Front issued a letter to the people, calling for support for the important program put forward by the Seventh Plenum of the Polish United Workers' Party."

"All circles of society in Poland support the important program proposed by the Seventh Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the United Workers' Party to improve the living standards of all citizens and further democratize social life. In the parliamentary elections to be held in December this year, the National Front should make every effort to People who are trusted by voters, connected with the masses, and understand the needs and wishes of the masses are elected as members of parliament."

Hmm, Gomulka is really here...

The attitude of the Soviet Union was also vacillating towards the interior of Poland and the top management of Poland.After Beirut was frightened to death, the successor Ohab was not as popular as Beirut in the upper echelons of the Soviet Union, so he was persuaded to quit after the strike.

After Gomulka took office, he had to do what he should do. He published articles and speeches on newspapers and broadcasts, expressing that the alliance between the Soviet Union and Poland is firm.When a new strike occurs, it still has to be dealt with with a big stick. After the deal is over, the comrades in the Soviet Union must be asked to speak for support.

但是唐华在8月7、8、9、10日的报纸上都没看到匈牙利有什么变化的报道。

Obviously, Mikoyan did not dare to mention the "total death plan" in the matter of Hungary. Maybe Mikoyan expressed his dislike for the leaders of several Hungarian factions during the meeting of the presidium, but it is not so good to let the presidium of the CPSU vote on the decision. easy.

Nor is the "upcoming" Hungarian event in the international news right now, but Egypt.

Egypt announced the nationalization of the Suez Canal, which became international news at the explosive level.Britain and France jumped up immediately, talking harshly as to the negotiation of opening a canal in London.

The United States declared neutrality, and said that the harsh words of Britain and France were wrong, you can't invade other countries.Of course, Britain and France now regard Eisenhower's words as polite diplomatic grammar.

The Soviet Union and China expressed support for Egypt's move.China said that imperialism used to occupy a lot of illegal rights and interests in China, such as customs, railways, concessions, inland waterway navigation rights, etc., we confiscated them all as soon as we bared our teeth. Brothers in Egypt did so beautifully, so it should be like this Against England and France!
