That night, Salinchkin was not easy, and in response to the questions raised at the meeting, the Novgomel City Committee immediately began to study and discuss them.

Holding the document in his hand, it was difficult not to complain: "The soldiers need more food, and we have to sacrifice the interests of the people as a last resort!" They deserve to be of high consciousness and support our work! ”

He didn't say that at the meeting. On the issue of food distribution, Salinchkin believes that the orders issued by the leader are understandable, after all, it is a war year, and everyone understands the truth, but why are there still people who demand more food rations?

Salinchkin asked Lyudbalev for advice, hoping that the long-time mayor of Gomel would come up with a perfect solution.

It's just that he gets an answer that displeases him.

"I think it's necessary to increase food rationing, because our people are never simply fed compared to soldiers. All the ammunition, all the munitions, all the munitions are produced by them, and even the children participate in voluntary labor in addition to studying. Their food rations have long been minimal, and we must increase them! ”

"Don't you worry that we don't have enough food to eat? Even if the potatoes can be harvested now, we still have to consider the current population! We're more than 50,000 people! ”

Lyudbalev puffed up his chest and pointed out meaningfully: "Could it be that our first secretary lacks confidence in our potatoes? In February, the farmland reclaimed by the army and the already ripe fields can be harvested. Judging from the previous harvest experience, this harvest is bound to be a great harvest. Because we use fertilizers in a timely manner, the harvest will be much better than ever! ”

On the issue of grain distribution, Salinchkin knew that Berekov was afraid that he not only wanted to increase the amount of distribution, but also supported the bourgeois behavior of allowing the villagers to cultivate their own farmland for private use. In short, how efficient that man is, and today, Lyudbalev also supports the increase in rationing, which really makes him isolated.

Salinch Kim said stupidly: "Let's wait and see! At the meeting we will announce the start of the potato harvesting operation, how many potatoes we have harvested, after counting and calculating, if the surplus is huge, then increase the ration of the people! ”

……

On May 8, this morning was another heavy training for the soldiers. For Yang Mingzhi, no matter how loud his military horn and roar shook the sky, they couldn't disturb Lao Tzu's sleep.

Without his wife's soft body, Yang Mingzhi did feel a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the heavy work made his body too tired, and he slept on the bed and dreamed of spring and autumn.

In my sleep, a powerful rocket was launched from Minsk, dragging a huge white smoke up to 90,000 miles, reaching the stratosphere, and then plunging headlong into Berlin. Eventually, a huge mushroom grew on the ground, and the surrounding clouds were swept away by the shock wave......

This violent dream will eventually come to an end, and the picture will be a warm scene again. The wife slept economically, and there was a small bed next to the bed, and a baby fell asleep quietly. The soft sunlight shines through the glass windows, and what a peaceful sight it is.

When he woke up from the dream, Yang Mingzhi touched left and right, and he was the only one who made the bed that exuded the smell of thatch.

"Hey, hey! What a damn one! This war will have to be fought for another three whole years! ”

In the history of that plane, Germany officially signed the instrument of surrender on May 8, and the 9th was Victory Day, and the war in Europe ended. But in 1942, there was no sign that Nazi Germany would be completely defeated three years later!

After regaining consciousness, Yang Mingzhi looked at his watch, it was almost noon! The wife is taking care of patients in Catfish Village Hospital, and there is a lack of a woman around to take care of daily life, and a sense of loss arises spontaneously. Looking at the tray of papers on the table, a strong sense of responsibility drove the body to get up immediately and plunge into today's meeting.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting resumed.

Originally, Salinchkin was going to put the problem of potato harvesting on the table at the first moment of the meeting, but he never thought that during the seemingly inconsequential chit-chat before the meeting began, Berekov actually claimed that the creation of new rockets had already begun!

Is it true that weapons development is so fast? When he wanted to continue to ask for details, he immediately hit a wall, so the first person to speak became Yang Mingzhi.

So when all the delegates arrived and Salinchkin announced the start of the meeting, Yang Mingzhi went to the podium with his empty hands.

"Comrades! Before today's meeting, we mainly announce things related to the production and life of the people, and before that, there is good news, and I must inform you.

Just yesterday's meeting, I announced the development of a new type of rocket with a range of at least thirty kilometers! Now I will tell you unequivocally that after a night of research by the Pripyat Weapons Design Bureau, the design drawings of the rocket artillery have finally been completed, the drawings have been delivered to the arsenal, and now the production of rocket artillery has begun!

We named the rocket launcher Exocet because it resembles a Excheret. Everyone must doubt that this Exocet rocket launcher can fly 30 kilometers? Before the experiment, I didn't know! But according to the manufacturing capacity of our arsenal, Exocet rocket launchers will be ready for production tomorrow! ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

What did Berekov say on the stage? A new type of rocket, which was researched in just one day? People were not only aimed at Yang Mingzhi, but also at Ryguskov, who was sitting in the audience.

These complicated eyes, as well as all kinds of questioning words, forced Rygushkov to stand up directly: "Comrades, these are true! The commander of our army group worked until dawn, and all the staff of the design bureau, as well as me and the chemist Ivanov, we completed the research and development work in a surprise attack.

At present, a total of four Exocet rockets are being produced, and in terms of rocket artillery manufacturing, the arsenal is very experienced, and according to the current progress, it will be completed tomorrow evening. By May 10th, we will be able to conduct our first trial! ”

In fact, before the meeting, Yang Mingzhi had not had a good talk with Rygushkov. He always felt that this guy had just arranged his work, but he didn't expect him to make a bold statement that he would be able to experiment the day after tomorrow?

Since he was so sure in such a public place, Yang Mingzhi did not doubt it and continued: "Comrades, this is the big thing I want to announce. Let's wait and see for the May 10 experiment. ”

After the words were finished, Yang Mingzhi stepped down in a mess. Yevlov and Fomin, who were sitting next to him, were very curious and wanted to ask why, but he rejected impatiently.

"What's going on? You call rocket artillery Exocet, this thing can really fly thirty kilometers, and we can bomb Kyiv without loss! Yevlov asked: "Why are you so angry now?" ”

"Me? Suddenly! It's so sudden! Yang Mingzhi shook his head with a tight mouth, made a wink, and motioned to Yevlov to wash his ears and listen to what Salinchkin, who was already standing on the stage, had to say.
