Let them say!
In recent days, I have been a regular visitor to the site www.kremlin.ru . The notes presented by the reader are some mix of the texts published on this site from March 27 to April 1, 2006, as well as a number of fragments borrowed from Alexander Bek’s novel “New appointment” and Intel Developer Forum. Author's additions make up no more than 2% of the presented text and are used exclusively for a bunch of sentences. From the comments I will refrain this time.
... Once again, walking to the wall and back, he stopped in front of Aleshin, began to ask. Questions belonged to the state and prospects of the electronic industry. Now the president’s face was no longer frozen. The pupils, dull for a minute ago, suddenly came to life.
Aleshin answered. He did not need to resort to a notebook in order to characterize the situation at a factory, even in the workshop, to give the test results in laboratories and at landfills, to call numbers. He revealed the president of difficulty, reported on work on the solutions that had not yet been found, not given to designers and technologists. And he also and more methodically interrogated, drilled and drilled precisely these sore spots.
- Our Pentium XX will do 0.010 microns using technology. So far, the most modern processors are manufactured using 0.13 μm technology, that is, the transistors in them is exactly 13 times larger.
How they and Aleshin and they were tormented, how tormented with them in the factories! They were exhausted, but still did not achieve the desired efficiency! The president pulled out this ... He climbed into the most secret secret production. Aleshin clearly reported without burning himself.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Defense appeared from the side door, here is some kind of quiet, inconspicuous. Following the Council of Security Council also entered. Some kept free, pushed back with a noise of chairs.
Sedeniki Gryzlov leaned against the ledge of a white tiled furnace - obviously, warm - and warmed up, putting his palm behind his back. Everyone silently listened to the inquiry that the president did not stop.
Why, why were they going here? .. The president exposed, or rather, forced Aleshin to expose the weaknesses and unprofiting Russian electronic industry.
- Presumably, silicon substrate in diameter will be the basis for the production of our new processors.
- What are the corresponding indicators at the plants of Germany and America?
- To date, Intel work with Subures of 300 mm in size. We still have all this in the project, there is no silicone yet, because everything can change.
- Why are the results unsatisfactory?
Undoubtedly, someone thoroughly informed the president. Who? In all likelihood, one of the mysterious departments of the department given to the former Petersburg, which, as if an all -encompassing eye, penetrated everywhere. Well, Aleshin should admit: the certificate was practical. And the president carefully, very carefully studied her ...
In his thoughts, Aleshin was anxiously looking for an answer: “Why? Why hurt the past? " He himself launched such a picture of technical flaws here that this is more than enough to accuse of wrecking.
- And how are you, Comrade Aleshin, the situation with the raw material base? Are there any constraints in her?
- Silicon, Comrade President, is still in sufficient volumes. So far ..., - Aleshin hesitated.
“The question, I think, is clear,” the president interrupted him. - Well, comrades, we will decide? There is the following proposal ...
Aleshin’s chest muscles were petrified, breathing caused pain.
I was painfully drawn to cast a glance at Patrushev, but the endurance won - Aleshin did not look at him, did not squint. And the president, after which he was hesitated, repeated:
- There is the following proposal. Firstly, we will create a commission under the President of the Russian Federation on the improvement of public administration of electronic industry, led by a friend, ”the president paused,“ Medvedev. Secondly, we will solve the problem of the raw material base as a matter of national security. No objections? Then we move on to the problem of ensuring spring field work. The number one of the list of these issues is fuel and lubricants. There is a proposal to listen to Comrade Khristenko.
The Khristenko report was not enough, the achievements of the ministry did not need lengthy comments. “In January, we approved the monthly balance in the context of all regions according to the needs for the fuel and lubricants of agricultural producers, and by March for the period of spring field work, we managed to deploy this balance not only in regions, but for all the main oil companies.”
Khristenko believed that the question was more or less clarified and that the conversation would end there. However, the president, without waiting for someone's words, continued:
-In addition to agriculture and supplying fuel and lubricants, do you have other topics?
- This week we are completely completing all the work on the Baltic pipeline system. Let me remind you that in 2000 this project was started, in 2001 we reached the first stage of implementation - 12 million tons by power. In 2003, the throughput capacity reached 30 million tons, in February 2004 - 42, in August 2004 - 50 million tons, and the final stage, which ends this week, we reach the design capacity - 65 million tons per year ...
- Pereging in Novorossiysk - how much now?
- The transshipment in Novorossiysk is 47 million tons, and plus Ozerevka - 24 million tons from the Caspian pipeline consortium.
- Here we reached 65 million in five years?
- Here we left zero by 65 million.
- By the way, comrade Fursenko, you are the main scientist with us, tell me how much will be 47 plus 24? That's it ... And you, Comrade Khristenko, continue, continue. Now in the context of port terminals.
- By the terminals?
- Yes. And then along the mooring walls.
“But the fact is that ... I don't know that.” I have no this information.
- Do not know? What are you doing here? Why are you sitting here? Why are you given a salary?
The minister, just satisfied with himself, was mercilessly carved.
The president continued to go slowly. Nothing at that moment has changed in his motionless, as if a sleepy person, known for many paintings and photographs.
- And what, Comrade Ivanov, with our nuclear shield?
- Over the past years, we have done a lot of work in the direction of the development of the nuclear weapons complex, the development of appropriate technologies, forces and means of nuclear deterrence. - Nervous tension affected the minister's vocal cords: he spoke hoarsely. However, the same attraction became a composure, worsened the mind. - A number of conceptual documents have been developed and adopted that determine our policy in this area. Preservation of the minimum sufficient amount ...
“Comrade Fursenko,” the president interrupted the minister. - How do we write down in the protocol: “minimum necessary” or “maximum sufficient” number? You first work out, then report ... Continue, Comrade Ivanov!
- So, the preservation of nuclear ammunition that ensures the solution of the problems of nuclear deterrence remains one of the most important priorities. The Ministry of Defense, together with other ministries and departments, launched a very large, important work on the balanced development of the arms system as a whole in 2007-2015.
“And that's right, Comrade Ivanov.” - The president, to the joy of the minister, did not touch the questions that had concerning what all the last weeks were written and said in the press. - Just keep in mind: we have not yet left the agreement on the comprehensive prohibition of the 1996 nuclear trials. In addition, it is necessary to calculate all options taking into account the real capabilities of the state to financing them! And what, Comrade Ivanov, with the export of military equipment?
- Nuclear?
- No, comrade Ivanov, so far conventional. Regarding the export of nuclear weapons, we will talk separately!
- We went out, Comrade President for the level of six billion dollars a year. The geography of supplies has expanded and now includes 61 countries of the world. We fully provide the needs of the Allies: CSTO countries, CIS, Southeast Asia, Middle and Middle East. Our main partners remain China and India.
- I want to congratulate everyone who took part in this work, and tell all the comrades, please. Keep in mind that one of the most priority areas is a clear and timely fulfillment of the obligations adopted, as well as improving the quality of after -sales service of our equipment!
And keep in mind, we are obliged to lobby, including at the political level, the interests of high -tech exporters, such as Rosoboronexport, MiG corporation, mechanical engineering, NPO of engineering and design bureau. But no one will be allowed to lobby for the interests of exporters of our strategic raw materials! When, finally, the conditions under which the processing of silicon and wood will be carried out in the territory of the Russian Federation will be formulated, and we will stop driving our circle and our sand abroad?
For some time the silence was not violated.
“The government has been adopted,” Gref remarked timidly ...
-Does this decision have any deadlines? I understand what this is connected with, and you understand. This is due to lobbying for sand exporters and logs. They think about their economic interests, and you must think about the interests of the Russian people.
Gref forever remembered this moment. Self -control did not change him. Only the cheeks were colder. He probably turned slightly pale.
The president again, not expecting someone’s words, continued:
- Third ... to impose into the obligation to comrades Fradkov, Gref and Khristenko, so that there are prerequisites that would stimulate processing here in Russia. They must be energetic. So, how they made a decision on the automotive industry when they handed this case to the Rosoboronexport! So they should. What, our VTS specialists with sand and round will not cope? Or will we eat snot here for years? How much do we talk about this topic, since the 99th year? Not a damn thing. Only one conversation. Sand with a circle of tuda-sedes, without ceasing, in huge quantities. And nothing has been done to stimulate their processing in the territory of the Russian Federation. In order for us to export not the sand, but these same, the president looked into the Patrushev note, - Pentium XX on Silicon Simple, and even - he looked into the same note - products of deep processing of wood. I drew the government’s attention to this issue several times. And all just conversations ...
The president continued to formulate:
- The fourth ... this is for you personally, comrade Ivanov. - The president took a sheet of paper with the coat of arms from the table: “To carry out from April 1 to June 30, 2006 a call for military service of citizens of the Russian Federation aged 18 to 27 years ... in the amount of 124550 people.”
