Zhongnanhai.Tang Hua VS Prime Minister.
As soon as you come up, you will be singled out with the Prime Minister...
Of course, Tang Hua made a detailed draft, wrote it on the computer for several days, printed it out and revised it.
After all, this is the first time to raise a bar against someone...
In the past few years, I was always laughing and joking in front of the chairman, the prime minister, and the commander-in-chief. Anyway, it is normal for the younger generation to be lively, and it is not right to look sophisticated and profound.
There are no twists and turns in doing all kinds of things, that is, at the end of the 50s and during the period of the Second Battle on the Eastern Front, the telegrams from the 50 Center were relatively frequent, but military democracy is the traditional style of our party and our army. , it is all normal.
But now, some things cannot be bypassed.
In 1954, the General Administration of Ordnance Industry was independent from the Ministry of Heavy Industry and established the Ministry of Machinery Industry, with Liu Nai as the head of the Ministry of Machinery Industry.
By September, according to Lao Liu himself, the State Council intended to split the Ministry of Machinery Industry into the First Ministry of Machinery Industry (Ministry of Ordnance Industry) and the Second Ministry of Machinery Industry (Ministry of Tactical Missile Industry).
This dismantling can be endless, the first Ministry of Machinery, the second Ministry of Machinery, the third Ministry of Machinery, the fourth Ministry of Machinery, ... until 1965, the Ministry of Machinery Industry under the State Council has been ranked up to the Eighth Ministry of Machinery.
……
Tang Hua blabla said a lot, the Prime Minister has been listening with wide eyes, looking thoughtful.
"We are discussing this idea. We originally wanted to hold a meeting to discuss it in a week or two," the Prime Minister said. "It was actually Liu Nai who first raised the issue. Minister Liu said that he is an old veteran military engineer, and the guns and cannons are his. What he is good at, missiles are not his specialty. Since 50 years, you have put tactical missiles under the management of the General Administration of Ordnance Industry, which makes him feel a lot of pressure."
"But at that time, the General Administration of Ordnance Industry was under the Ministry of Heavy Industry, and you were still above the General Administration of Ordnance Industry. When it became independent and became the Ministry of Machinery Industry, Minister Liu was worried that he would not be able to lead the work of tactical missiles, so he offered to dismantle the Ministry of Machinery Industry. It is divided into the first machine department and the second machine department, the first machine department is in charge of guns, the second machine department is in charge of tactical missiles, and he continues to be the head of the first machine department.”
"In the future, there will be aircraft, warships, tanks, and some new high-tech weapons that he may not even be able to name. Minister Liu feels that he is even more unable to lead this type of defense industry."
……
According to domestic conventions, the weapon industry actually refers to the industry of the development and production of guns and other ordnance. In English, it corresponds to "Ordnance" rather than "Weapon".
In 1949, when Liu Nai was the director of the General Administration of Ordnance Industry, this was the plan.Later, Tang Hua also stuffed the Hongqi-1/2 and Eagle Strike missiles under the General Administration of Ordnance Industry, which was regarded as a quick and simple temporary work assignment to cope with the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Now that a long period of peaceful construction has entered, it seems that the State Council wants to establish a Ministry of Machinery Industry for each of the major defense industries.
Perhaps this was also influenced by the Soviet Union.The big brother of the Soviet Union has set up nine defense industry ministries, so let's set up eight machinery industry ministries.
Is this okay?This is not good.
Director Makarov said, "The Soviet Union, the Party Central Committee, the State Planning Commission, the Military Industry Commission, and nine defense industry departments, 600 related majors, and 8000 supporting manufacturers, in short, a great country is needed to complete it." It makes people's blood boil.However, China not only completed the "Varyag", but also produced aircraft carriers from two factories, built a navy of a medium-power European country a year, and the annual tonnage of civilian ships accounted for 30% of the world.
To accomplish all this, only the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology + SASAC is needed.
Taking a step back, the Soviet Union established nine defense industry ministries because the Soviet Union had a military industrial system with the size of a superpower on par with the United States. 5. There were only a few factories in China in the 60s, and only 8 machinery industry departments?
Later, when the state wrote about the historical changes of the State Council, it concluded in this way: "Due to the first five-year plan and socialist transformation, 1956 new institutions directly under the State Council were newly established in 11 alone, and the number of economic management departments reached as many as 50. The state The administrative organization is bloated, the efficiency is low, the problems of overlapping agencies, overlapping functions, and multiple government departments are prominent, and it takes up a lot of financial expenditure and the number of public officials. ... The State Council has fallen into a streamlining-expansion-re-simplification- cycle of re-expansion."
Until 12 years later, everyone couldn't bear it and smashed all these.
That being the case, why bother to set up such a bloated stall in the first place.
……
After listening to the Prime Minister's explanation, Tang Hua said: "Comrade Liu is an old revolutionary, with strong party spirit, meticulous management, democratization of work, and setting an example. These are all excellent qualities. I don't know if it is because of me. You may A kind of misunderstanding has been formed, that is, a department must be led by the most powerful person, which is not necessarily the case. In the future, the Ministry of Machinery Industry can provide technical advice through an expert committee. The joint meeting of directors jointly decides on the technological development of the military industry."
"I will continue to say according to my idea...the bureau chiefs under the Ministry of Machinery Industry, or the bureau chiefs are the deputy ministers. This is a group. Communication between leaders within a ministerial unit is much easier than inter-departmental communication and cooperation Yes. The directors’ meeting can largely resolve the integration trend of the development and production of weapons and equipment that I just mentioned.”
"Then there is the issue of the expert committee and the direction of technological development. The expert committee should not only include local experts, but each machinery industry bureau should also include at least one representative of the army's equipment. The army's equipment representatives are not here to supervise production. Should be an expert, requester in the field and feedback on equipment usage."
"In this way, when the joint meeting of the bureau chief and the expert committee is held, an expert from a machinery industry bureau can achieve his own goals across bureaus at this semi-routine conference table, either by sending demands, or obtaining his own required technology."
……
The Prime Minister thought for a long time.
"If the Ministry of Machinery Industry remains unchanged, then the factories and research institutes that this Ministry will lead in the future will be unprecedentedly large."
Tang Hua: "Our country's military industry and civilian equipment manufacturing industry will develop greatly in the future. It is possible to double the industrial scale several times, but the larger industrial scale does not mean that the scale of the management organization must be increased simultaneously. Even due to computers and new With the adoption of advanced communication methods, we can lead more factories with fewer people in the future, and the management is more detailed and accurate than before, and the guidance for the development direction of the industry is clearer."
"Prime Minister, another reason why I made this suggestion is that we really don't have enough talents. Almost every industrial sector has encountered this problem. There is a shortage of specialized talents in the local area. These highly educated science and engineering talents are placed in the central office, that is, they have not exerted their maximum value."
"And now there is even a tendency to transfer talents from various places to Beijing in order to form new ministerial units instead of sending enough talents to the localities."
……
second round.
Tang Hua VS Deng Zifei, Prime Minister and Acting Chairman of the State Planning Commission.
The next day the Prime Minister brought Chairman Deng over, which is a good sign.It shows that the Prime Minister intends to reconsider.
"If this is set up, the future production plans and management orders of the State Planning Commission may be simpler. For example, many orders are generally handed over to the Ministry of Heavy Industry and the Ministry of Machinery Industry, and then the two ministries will refine them and issue them to the subordinates of the ministries. Deng Zifei said, "However, the scope of industries covered by the Ministry of Machinery Industry is indeed very large, which is too much a test of the overall quality of the leaders. Even if Tang Hua said to use the expert committee and the joint meeting of directors, as the Minister of Machinery Industry You still need to have a good understanding of professional technology.”
Tang Hua: "Chairman Deng, there are now more than a dozen members of the State Planning Commission, and the members of the State Planning Commission have formed several committees. These committees should play a greater role in the future. For example, the work coordination of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, which itself is The State Planning Commission can do it."
"Moreover, some of the institutions of the State Planning Commission have actually been dismantled meaninglessly, and should be glued together again."
Deng Zifei: ...
The prime minister and the chairman of the State Planning Commission each quarreled, okay, this is a balance.
The Prime Minister would not think that Tang Hua was sent by Deng Zifei to attack him.
——It wasn’t originally.
From 1954 to 1966, the government affairs council was not the only one that expanded rapidly. The size of the State Planning Commission also inflated like a balloon.
While the Ministry of Machinery Industry is constantly appearing, the State Planning Commission also established a corresponding institution: the Machinery Planning Bureau, to formulate development plans for each Ministry of Machinery Industry.The First Mechanical Planning Bureau, the Second Mechanical Planning Bureau, ...there is no third Mechanical Planning Bureau. It may be that the building of the State Planning Commission has lost its office.
……
Round N.
I didn't piss off more people, but I kept talking with the Prime Minister and Deng Zifei, from the beginning of the shooting to the final details.
The most discussed is the human issue.
The rapid expansion of the central organization after the founding of the People's Republic of China was not because there were too many people who wanted to be officials, but because of the problem of control ability, just like Liu Nai was afraid of leading the Ministry of Machinery Industry other than the Ministry of Gun Industry.
Another illustration of the human problem is the Ministry of Heavy Industry.Historically, the Ministry of Heavy Industry was completely dismantled, becoming the Ministry of Iron and Steel Industry, the Ministry of Metallurgy, the Ministry of Chemical Industry, ... a lot, and the Ministry of Heavy Industry disappeared.But now that Tang Hua is here at the Ministry of Heavy Industry, there is no need for the State Council to separate the bureaus into separate departments.
On the side of the Ministry of Mechanical Engineering, the split into eight mechanical industry departments did not solve this problem.Not long after, the army expressed dissatisfaction. The eight machinery industry departments of yours are actually just eight factory management bureaus. They don’t do research at all, and they can’t find out the direction of equipment development, let alone propose forward-looking equipment plans.
Then, the army established its own research institutes, from the first research institute of the Ministry of National Defense, the second research institute... to the seventh research institute of the Ministry of National Defense.
There are 8 machinery industry bureaus and 7 research institutes of the Ministry of National Defense. The layers of institutions in the military are too eye-catching, and in the end they can only be merged with the institutes.
