After reviewing the financial and logistical calculations she provides, Sakulin realizes that the premature commissioning of one section of the plant will severely delay the completion of the entire complex, leading to significant losses for the state.
Sakulin escalates the matter to higher authorities, ensuring that the problems at the construction site gain attention at the national level.
The national leadership determines that delaying the launch of the first section would disrupt industrial plans across the country, causing even greater losses.
As a result, the original plan is upheld, though additional resources are allocated from other projects to mitigate the gap between the commissioning of the first section and the full completion of the complex.
Sakulin’s efforts highlight the challenges of confronting the inertia of the state machinery, as his battle to prioritize long-term outcomes over short-term gains proves futile.
