. 'Sem' ' took the stage for a brief presentation on the performance of our Industry.
In the last 1.000 days we have completed a large scale expansion of our Military Industry in the Ural region, we increased the amount of Industrial complexes by 55 from 160 on the 5th of January 1937 to 215 today, or a 34% increase.
Legislative changes and technological advances mean that the effective output of our industry has increased quite a bit more, using the average Industrial Complex of 1936 as a standard, effective capacity has increased by 123 IC (standard 1936 Industrial Capacity), from 161 on the 5th of January 1937 to 284 today, or a 76% increase. The amount of this capacity allocated to production has varied between 68.03 IC and 141.43 IC.
Considering the resources needed to fuel our Industry, it has been calculated that the Soviet Union can sustain 290 effective IC indefinitely without any raw material imports, or improved extraction technology. The limiting factor is Metal, as our Rare Material production can sustain 324 effective IC, and our Energy production 381. This means that with a little trade 310-320 effective IC could easily be sustained while more than breaking even on trade.
Some more estimates have been made about the total output during this 1.000 day period:
The total industrial output was ca. 232,51 kIC.days, meaning the average daily output was 232,51 IC.
The total output for new production (excluding consumer goods, upgrades, reinforcements, and supplies) was 114.09 kIC.days, so the daily average was 114.09 IC.
(These figures were calculated and written down every time a production order was delivered, and assumed unchanged in between deliveries, so while not 100% accurate they provide a very good approximation, which might be just a tad optimistic)
To get an idea of the skill of our industry I have included figures about the practical knowledge of our industry in different fields. The numbers read as follows:
Production knowledge gained through experience (reduction in cost and time for future and current production compared to an arbitrary standard established in 1936)
To simplify: green good, yellow and orange meh, and red and pink bad.
Army Units
- Infantry: 8,8 (27,2)
- Militia: 3,5 (3,3)
- Mobile: 7,5 (25,7)
- Artillery: 11,3 (30,4)
- Armour: 16,3 (34,4)
It seems building lots of Tank Destroyers helps here, as well as having our specialised Automotive Industry in Stalingrad
Ships
- Destroyer: 2,7 (-4,6)
- Cruiser: 0,8 (-23,6)
- Carrier: 1,3 (-18,5)
- Transport: 1,3 (-18,5)
- Submarines: 2,6 (-5,9)
Aircraft
- LIght: 16,6 (34,6)
- Medium: 1,7 (-14,6)
- Heavy: 1,7 (-14,6)
Industrial
- Construction: 25,4 (41,1)
- Electronic Engineering: 0,8 (-23,6)
When you build tons of factories, railroads, forts and Air Bases, you get good at building them... really good...
These numbers are a good indication of production priorities during these last 1.000 days, except for Carriers, where we started from nothing.
Our Industrial expansion has been slowed down to a crawl, as our army needs more and more capacity to prepare for the fog of war on the horizon... We will now be building only 3 Industrial Complexes at a time.
That's it for the industrial summary, 'Devyat' ' will now speak about infrastructure improvements, fortifications, and Air Bases for the defence of the Motherland. Thank you.
