Chapter 142 Transshipment Strategy

Originally, the Military and Police Department had some controversy over whether the militiamen needed to distribute a large number of knives, but in the end, the "Saber Faction" defeated the "Baton Faction" on the grounds that these overseas refugees had not experienced a period of time like the local naturalized people.

For them, the deterrence of batons may not be enough, and sabers are the best weapon option for militiamen when on duty.

Not only that, this time the militia mainly selected the more aggressive youths of the Li and Miao ethnic groups. The Military and Police Department believes that if a situation arises that requires the militia to take action, these Li and Miao youths will be more effective than the relatively peaceful Han youths.

Some.

Now it seems that this plan has indeed achieved good results. The people who were eager to get on the boat did not make physical contact with these militiamen after they approached, but moved back for fear of offending these people with black machetes in their hands.

There are not many brave and ruthless refugees among the refugees. Most of those characters have joined the army to fight. Most of the people who choose to flee are just timid and cowardly ordinary people. Faced with irresistible violence,

They immediately became as docile as sheep.

Someone brought a bucket of lime from the boat and used lime to draw two three-foot-wide, zigzag-shaped passages on the shore. Zhou Hengxing then announced that anyone who wanted to sign up to follow the fleet could only stand on the line drawn with lime.

Queuing up in the aisle.

The reason why refugees become refugees and rioters is because there is no powerful being to establish behavioral rules for them, and the emergence of the colonial fleet just fills this gap. With the lessons of the unlucky guy who was shot earlier, no one can

Dare to openly defy the rules set by these strangers. Although it was still a bit crowded, the refugees quickly followed each other's request and formed a long queue in the two aisles, waiting for their fate to be chosen.

The criteria for selecting laborers for the colonization team are actually very simple. The main factors are whether they are healthy and whether they can adapt to long-term manual labor. As for gender, age, whether they have family property, etc., they are secondary. For example, those who are physically disabled or have no family to support them are widows and orphans.

The old people and the colonization team can only ruthlessly eliminate these people. The Crossing Group's new port development plan is not a charitable act. What is currently needed is a large number of labor forces. Supporting the non-labor force population is obviously not a situation that the executive committee is happy to see.

Of course, if it is a child, it is a different matter. The Executive Committee is currently very relaxed about the immigration conditions for children under the age of 16. As long as they have no obvious physical defects or illnesses, they can be brought under the control of the Crossing Group. This rule

The same applies to non-Chinese children. The Executive Committee believes that children's three views have not yet been formed. Under the educational atmosphere of the Time Travel Group, it only takes a few years for these ignorant children to become loyal fans and guardians of the Time Travel Group.

, whose loyalty must be much greater than that of ordinary adult naturalized citizens.

When the relevant personnel set up their posture on the shore and began to select labor immigrants, several other ships docked at the north bank of the Qinghua River, allowing the people on the ship who had been bumpy at sea for two days to disembark and rest. If nothing else, they

We will stay on the Qinghua River for a whole day and will not sail north again until tomorrow morning.

Gu Kai and Zhou Hengxing are responsible for the check-in of an immigration channel respectively. They are also paired with two doctors, Johnson and Morgan. They usually only briefly ask about personal conditions, and then the doctor will check the fundus, oral cavity and limbs. If there are no major problems, it will be fine.

Pass the customs. A relatively detailed personnel file will not be established until you arrive at the destination. Those who pass the customs can immediately board the "Sea Training 01" ship through the springboard, getting rid of the shadow of war that has been chasing them for many days.

The displacement of the "Hai Xun 01" ship is less than 100 tons, and the loading capacity is relatively limited. In addition, the ship originally contained some cargo and supplies. Now, after stuffing 60 people into the cabin, it was already full. So I watched.

Qian Tiandun ordered the work to be suspended, and the several unqualified candidates who had just been eliminated were also rushed to the deck and sailed to the north shore. The "Hai Xun 02" ship quickly approached, and the selection work continued.

The refugees felt more relieved when they saw that the fleet had fulfilled its promise, and even those who had been excluded boarded the ship and went to the north shore. The relatively good order allowed the labor selection in the morning to go smoothly, and by lunch

By that time, more than 300 qualified immigrants had been selected to board the ship.

In the afternoon, the number of people waiting in line by the river not only did not decrease, but also increased. It seems that the refugees who were blocked by the river in the upper reaches of the Thanh Hoa River got the news and came here to apply for recruitment. However, the loading capacity of the fleet is limited.

, it is destined to be impossible to take away all these applicants. By nightfall, more than 700 qualified immigrants boarded the ship, and at least a thousand people gathered on the shore, many of whom were crying, kneeling and kowtowing.

They hope that the fleet can take them away from here.

Zhou Hengxing had to set up a loudspeaker again to explain to these refugees that the fleet would be back here to ship immigrants within ten days at most. If you are willing to follow the fleet to settle in the north, please wait here.

After several days, Zhou Hengxing repeated this many times before the emotionally excited refugees on the shore gradually dispersed.

"These people are really pitiful." At the team meeting in the evening, Gu Kai first expressed his opinion: "In fact, we should consider setting up a resettlement site near Thanh Hoa to let these local people who are willing to follow us

We can have a relatively stable place to stay temporarily, and then we can transfer them by big ship."

"You said that the Ministry of Shipping has thought about this method for a long time, but it is very difficult to implement." Xie Chun, a representative of the Ministry of Shipping, said: "If the resettlement site is set up on the seaside, it will be difficult for us to build the resettlement site in a short time.

To build an effective defense system, we have a limited number of militiamen. If we put too few at the settlement site, it will be of no use. If we put too many, there will definitely be problems at Xingang. There are very few offshore islands nearby, and the closest place to us is

There is a small island eight miles north, but the last time we checked, there was no fresh water on the island. The islands with fresh water can only be found more than 20 nautical miles away. It takes most of the day for a sailboat to come and go.

It’s not cost-effective in terms of time.”

"In the final analysis, our current transportation capacity is not enough." Zhou Hengxing took over: "The two sea training ships will return to Victory Port after this trip, and we only have six ships responsible for the transportation of supplies between the two places in the future.

Task. The Executive Committee requires that at least 500 tons of coal be sent back every month. The remaining six ships may not be enough to make one trip. Two trips can exceed the target. In this case, it is difficult to find another ship to go.

Other routes. If we want to rush to transport people, we can only take advantage of the development of the new port."

"You have about thirty days to use." Liu Shanxia from the Ministry of Construction said: "From the construction of docks and settlements to road construction and mining, the construction period given by the executive committee is one month, by the end of August at the latest.

The first cargo of coal must be transported back to Port Victory!"

"Thirty days is enough! From here to Xingang, you can go back and forth in about five days, which is enough to make six trips a month." Wang Tom quickly calculated: "According to the capacity of those six large ships, seven to eight hundred can be loaded at one time.

The problem of people is not big. We can even ask the Executive Committee to consider sending a ship from Victory Port, loading the people and taking it directly back to Victory Port, or transporting some people back when transporting coal. Anyway, the labor force there is

The gap has always been high. We need to spend extra money to bring in immigrants from Yazhou and other places, but the immigrants here only need freight."

"This is possible." Gu Kai agreed very much with Wang Tom's proposal: "In my opinion, it can be like this. The ship coming from Victory Port will go to the coast of Qinghua to load people, and the ship returning will take the route of Fu Shuizhou Island. We

Keep more young laborers here who can do heavy work, and transfer as many women and children as possible to the base camp. This is the best solution for both us and these refugees."

Early in the morning of the fourth day, it was just dawn, and the immigrants who had rested for a day on the east bank of the Thanh Hoa River boarded the ship again under the organization of the colonization team. The fleet sailed out of the Thanh Hoa River, traveled north along the coast, and arrived at Haiphong that night.

Tushan Peninsula in the south. In view of the complicated sea conditions on the route from here to the north to Xingang, the fleet no longer travels overnight. Instead, it docks in the natural bay of Tushan Peninsula and organizes immigrants to spend the night on the shore.

, which also greatly alleviates the fatigue of the crew and immigrants on the road.

Early on the morning of the fifth day, the "Speed" set off ahead of the fleet and went directly to the small fishing village where we hired people last time near Haiphong. The two guides that the expedition team brought to Thanh Hoa last time had already returned to the fishing village, their old place.

When they met again, both sides felt a familiar sense of intimacy. After exchanging a few words, Wang Tom asked if anyone here was willing to go to the north with them to open up a new home. Perhaps it was the friendly actions of the last expedition team that gained the trust of the local fishermen.

, nearly half of the population of this small fishing village is willing to follow them to settle in that legendary port. These fishermen have grown up by the sea and have good water skills. With a little training, they can become qualified sailors, which makes taking a "fast"

Gu Kai and Xie Chun, who came together with "No.", both felt very satisfied.

However, they still encountered a little trouble before setting off. These fishermen were unwilling to abandon their poor possessions, especially those small wooden boats that were no longer than six or seven meters long. In the end, it was Tom Wang who came up with the idea to put these

The boats were all strung together with cables and towed behind the "Speed", and were towed by the "Speed" for the rest of the voyage. The fishermen were also very satisfied with this arrangement, and most of them did not choose to board the "Speed"

"No." Instead, he stayed on his boat guarding the pots and jars of household items they brought out.
