Chapter 514 Commendation Conference (1)
Mulan Railway Station,
As night falls, the train station looks like a dazzling castle, brightly lit. The outline of the station building is particularly clear, and the three-story waiting building stands in the darkness, like a giant guarding the city.
With the sound of the whistle,
The train from Harbin slowly pulled into the station. Under the huge locomotive, the steel crankshaft and connecting rods swung rhythmically, driving the red wheels to move forward slowly. Large clouds of steam continued to emit, and the entire platform was shrouded in white mist.
This is the first passenger vehicle to arrive at the station today, and it is currently in the trial operation stage!
The door of carriage No. 6 opened, and the conductor wearing a gold hoop armband and a blue uniform jumped down first, holding a small flag.
Yuan Canhai, Hou Zhuangzhuang and 3 others from the 22rd Column jumped out of the carriage along with the column commander!
As soon as he looked up, Hou Zhuangzhuang's eyes were immediately stunned.
The entire platform was brightly lit.
Under the steel structure rain shelter,
There was also a huge banner,
"The people of Mulan Special District pay tribute to the officers and soldiers who have made outstanding contributions!"
The group of people looked at the banner. For some reason, their eyes became red!
There were more than a dozen soldiers standing on the platform, each holding a sign that read,
"Welcome to the heroes attending the commendation ceremony!"
Yuan Canhai and others followed a soldier who was leading them and quickly left the station through a special channel!
The square in front of the station was filled with shadows. Snack vendors lit oil lamps, and the smoke emitted an alluring aroma. Rickshaw drivers waited anxiously for customers, occasionally shouting, and their voices could be heard far away in the silent night.
More than a dozen brand new heavy-duty ten-wheel trucks were parked on the road on the south side of the platform, and each truck had a green cloak!
These trucks are products that just rolled off the production line at Mulan Arsenal this month, replicas of the American CCKW ten-wheel heavy trucks!
Yuan Canhai and his companions got on two large trucks and followed the newly built ring road to Mulan New City. Everyone on the trucks stared at the neat concrete road and the bustling crowds and shops on both sides!
The car came to a large courtyard, which was the newly completed Mulan Military Sub-district Headquarters compound!
The soldiers got off the car and, led by a soldier, came to a hall.
Although it was night, the room was as bright as day with more than a dozen 200-watt incandescent bulbs hanging from the ceiling!
There are more than thirty round tables in the hall, which can accommodate more than three hundred people for dining at the same time!
On one side were more than a dozen windows, filled with soldiers from the kitchen team busy at work.
The tables, benches, and even the chopsticks are all brand new, and the walls are painted white!
At this time, the place was already bustling with people. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and there were still more than a hundred people eating!
For dinner, each person has a plate and they go to the window to get it. Tonight there are pork ribs and kelp, vegetable and tofu soup, scrambled eggs with peppers, and braised beef. On a large table next to it there are buckets of rice, milk, boiled water, various side dishes, chili sauce, and so on!
Yuan Canhai looked around and immediately saw an acquaintance. He immediately went over and greeted him.
"Yaohui, you are here too?"
Wang Yaohui said proudly,
"Haha, our regiment is the top force of the 1st Column, how can we be left out of this commendation ceremony!"
This time, there are a total of 5 people in their regiment, which is the largest regiment in the 1st Column!
Of course, Yuan Canhai was not willing to be outdone.
"Our regiment was also highly praised in the 3rd column this time. A total of six people came!"
One thing all men have in common is that they are unwilling to lag behind and like to be the first, and the merit system fits this point!
When the two were having a great time playing the flute, a group of people suddenly walked in from the door.
The officers and soldiers who were eating at the tables near the gate stood up and saluted, their eyes full of reverence.
Yuan Canhai had sharp eyes and saw Yin Xinjun introducing things non-stop.
He was just about to say hello.
Wang Yaohui held him back.
"The head of the headquarters is here, don't move!"
Yin Xinjun led the leaders into a large private room and told the soldiers in the kitchen to serve the food quickly. He smiled and said,
"Commendations, would you like to have a drink?"
The leader waved his hand and said,
"No need, drinking will only delay things. I have too many things to do lately!"
Yin Xinjun secretly thought he was lucky, because the headquarters’ kitchen staff had prepared a lot of liquor, but he ordered them to take it away!
"By the way, Commander Yin, how is the grain harvest in Mulan Special Zone this year?" a leader asked with concern!
"This year, 70% of our spring wheat has been harvested, and rice has not yet begun to be harvested. At present, the average yield per mu has increased by 15%, which is not a high growth rate. This is mainly because the use of seeds has reached saturation, and the increase in agricultural machinery investment this year is not much. Fertilizers are currently provided by only one private factory, with low yields and poor quality, so the impact is not significant!
But next year, our crop yields are expected to experience a spurt in growth, because next year our synthetic ammonia will be available in large quantities! And synthetic ammonia is the main raw material for processing nitrogen fertilizers! "
Several leaders immediately showed interest on their faces. Food production occupies a very important position in their minds!
Yin Xinjun continued,
"It is expected that the popularization of nitrogen fertilizer will double the grain output next year. Our chemical plant and fertilizer plant will be completed this month. The equipment is ready. After installation and commissioning, large-scale production will begin in March next year. By then, nitrogen fertilizer will be supplied to the land in the entire liberated area. Next year, not only the Mulan Special Zone, but the entire liberated area will usher in explosive growth in grain production!"
This is the role of technology. Among the three major factors that affect grain production, the most important one is fertilizer! Not only that, with the popularization of vehicles, agricultural machinery will enter thousands of households in large quantities next year, which will also play a role in increasing grain production!
Director Chen also added,
"The most notable achievement of the Mulan Special District this year is animal husbandry. The daily output of live pigs has reached 2500, of which 1000 have been given to various troops, which has significantly improved the soldiers' food!"
Yin Xinjun said modestly,
"This is not the government's credit. Since the bumper harvest of corn and soybeans last year, three major private feed factories have been put into operation in the Special Zone this year, resulting in explosive growth in animal husbandry. The number of collective breeding farms has increased more than 10 times, and the number of chickens, ducks, pigs, and cattle raised has increased 5-10 times this year! At the same time, it also provides a large amount of raw materials for the cannery!"
One leader also said,
"At the beginning of the summer offensive, the Mulan Special District provided 17 boxes of various canned foods to the troops every day! By the end of the battle, this number had grown to 25 boxes!"
"That's amazing! The reason why we won this summer's offensive was that the logistical support of the Mulan Special Zone played a great role!"
