Chapter 326 Development and Demolition (1)

No matter whether there are still uncontrollable risks in the plan to develop Dawanshan Island, the system is the system. Now that the plan has been discussed and approved by the executive committee, it will naturally enter the implementation stage.

Although the Military Commission and the Ministry of Commerce proposed the plan, to implement this plan, it is not enough to rely on these two departments alone. Civil affairs, shipping, construction and other departments must also participate. Infrastructure construction on the island

How the project should be carried out, how many materials and personnel need to be transported, and how to arrange ship capacity, all require coordination among various departments. Therefore, under Tao Donglai's initiative, a special "Dawanshan Island Project" was established

Development Office" to operate this project.

The "Qiong Lianfa" who was chosen as a shield was naturally not forgotten. A telegram was sent from the base camp to Guangzhou, and there were clerks there who spent money to register the "Wanshan Island Warehouse" at the Yamen. As long as money can solve the problem,

It is a trivial matter for both the China Liaison Office in Guangdong and the "Qiong Lianfa". As for whether the "Qiong Lianfa" built on the island is a warehouse or a fort, the gentlemen of the Guangzhou government have no interest in taking a boat out to sea specifically for this purpose.

Go check it out. Of course, the efforts of "Qiong Lianfa" to take the blame are not in vain. After the construction of facilities on Dawanshan Island is completed in the future, "Qiong Lianfa" will have two free-to-use warehouses in the local area as a return on the initial "investment"

.

In fact, if it were not for the concern that Dawanshan Island is under the nose of the Ming Navy and needs a legal reputation, the military would not want to involve a private organization like "Qiong Lianfa". After all, Dawanshan Island

It is not a purely commercial development project. After commercial factors are forced to be added, it is conceivable that the military's future defense tasks will become much more complicated due to the incoming and outgoing merchant ships.

Although the construction progress proposed by the military in the plan was three months, which was very ample time, two days after the executive committee passed the proposal, the military sent the "Lightning" northward, and a project team led by Wang Tom

The team went to Dawanshan Island for an on-the-spot investigation.

The leader of the engineering team is Liu Shanxia, ​​the second-in-command of the Ministry of Construction, who is currently one of the busiest people in the Cross-Travel Group. The reason why this busy man can be invited out is not only the military's face, but also Tao Donglai's personal connections.

Liu Shanxia had worked with Tao Donglai for many years before time travel. If Tao Donglai hadn't personally come forward to invite him this time, it would be difficult for him to put down a lot of things at hand and follow the military to go to sea to inspect the deserted island.

When the Black Tu Port was first developed, Liu Shanxia went to the local area to serve as the commander-in-chief of the infrastructure project, and this achievement also greatly consolidated his position in the Ministry of Construction. Later, the development of Tieliang Port, and even the ongoing Sanya Inland River New Port

Liu Shanxia is in charge of the development. It can be said that Liu Shanxia's experience in building new settlements is unparalleled in the Chuanchuan Group.

"The last time I went to sea was in October last year. I haven't been on a ship since the development of Tieliang Port." Although the rough sea conditions made Liu Shanxia's face look a little pale, he could not hide the excitement in his voice.

: “It’s been a long time since I’ve had this opportunity to come out and get some fresh air!”

"Then just think of this mission as a vacation!" Wang Tom joked as he took the wheel: "If you are interested, you can go to Guangzhou for a few days after you finish your work."

"Forget it, if Mr. Tao knows that I have this free time, he will have to throw a lot of tasks at me when I get back." Liu Shanxia shook his head and said: "Guangzhou and so on, let's save it for later when I have time. I am just a busy person.

I was destined to be a hardworking contractor before I crossed over, but after I crossed over, I still did the same job as before! Sometimes I also wonder what I planned to do when I crossed over. If I really want to be a contractor for the rest of my life, it would be worse than before.

Don’t follow me!”

"Don't be pessimistic. When we establish a country in the future, you will be a... and a... by the way, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry! I heard Ning Qi say that he is a high-ranking official of the second rank!" Wang Tom responded with a smile.

.

"It doesn't matter what the minister is, my current official position is not low. I am the deputy minister of the Ministry of Construction. If I count the official rank of the Ming Dynasty, it is probably the third grade of the minister of the Ministry of Industry! It's just that the treatment is not quite enough. I have to bear such a huge responsibility.

I have a title and am doing the work of moving bricks around. I don’t know when I will be able to enjoy the blessings!” Liu Shanxia shook his head and changed the subject: “But you are more practical and it is more comfortable to sail on the sea! If I hadn’t been a little seasick, I would have thought

Just change your career to become a sailor."

The "Lightning" encountered bad weather when it was sailing near the Qizhou Islands in the northeastern waters of Hainan Island. The only few islands here are all rocky coasts, and there are no conditions for docking or sheltering from wind and waves. Wang Tom wanted to

For safety reasons, the original sailing route had to be changed and turned northwest to avoid rough seas.

The "Lightning" traveled north along the Wailuo Waterway on the east side of the Leizhou Peninsula, and then turned east after arriving at Naozhou Island. The pirate gang Gao Qiaonan was originally from came from Naozhou Island off the coast of Zhanjiang.

Considering that there might still be pirates on Naozhou Island, the "Lightning" did not stop here. It drove all the way to the waters of Yangjiang County, Zhaoqing Prefecture, and then found a relatively secluded sea area to rest for the night.

Due to a temporary change in the sailing route, it took the expedition a day and a half longer than the original schedule to reach the Pearl River Estuary. This was not the first time that Wang Tom came to this sea area, so he found it almost with ease.

Got the location of Wanshan Islands.

"Ahead is Dawanshan Island." Wang Tom said as he handed the binoculars to Liu Shanxia.

Liu Shanxia took the telescope and looked over there. The mountain peaks on the island with an altitude of more than 400 meters were just an inconspicuous tip rising out of the sea level in the telescope. If it weren't for Wang Tom's prompt, he might have easily ignored it.

its existence.

After traveling forward for another half an hour, the outlines of Dawanshan Island and the adjacent Xiaowanshan Island finally became clear. The "Lightning" traveled from west to east, facing the natural area to the west of Dawanshan Island.

Haven. This harbor is actually very small, with a depth of less than 500 meters and a width of less than 400 meters. It is basically rectangular with the same width inside and outside, because the area is too small and there is no narrow harbor entrance like Victory Port or Inland Port to shield the waves and shelter from the wind.

The effect of preventing waves is not necessarily very good. According to the information Liu Shanxia has, in later generations, this small harbor was specially built with one north, two and three breakwaters to enhance the wind shelter effect. However, this kind of construction needs to be done in this era.

For the breakwater that extends into the sea, the amount of work is really too large.

After the "Lightning" sailed into the harbor, it lowered its sails and slowed down, and routinely collected data on the channel and water depth, so that the shipping department could use it to calculate the design docking capacity of the port terminal. Although the Guangdong Office in Guangdong and Guangdong had collected data in the six months before this

Although some relevant information in this area has been obtained, Wang Tom believes that the influence of seasonal and tidal changes must be taken into account, and the more actual measured data, the better.

After landing, the main work was completed by the engineering team led by Liu Shanxia. Wang Tom led a few militiamen into the mountain, intending to visit Dawanding, the commanding heights of the island. A military stronghold will be built here in the future.

After that, an observation post will inevitably be set up at the commanding heights, and Wang Tom can be regarded as a front station.

Since there are no human traces on this desert island, and there are no predators, the environment is relatively safe. After the two teams agreed on a radio contact time, they started working separately.

Judging from the military's plan, on the coast of this small harbor, infrastructure such as passenger and cargo terminals, warehouses, commercial stores, garrison barracks, port fortifications, and residential areas need to be built, and drinking water needs to be considered.

The requirements for water, sewage, transportation, etc. are all-inclusive. It took the engineering team half a day to complete the preliminary surveying and mapping of the dock area.

After receiving the news, the Office in Guangdong also sent Xiao Liang and Yu Yao to arrive at the harbor by boat in the evening of the same day. Because these two people had been to Dawanshan Island many times and knew the situation here relatively well,

Therefore, the military also specially transferred them to assist in the inspection.

The inspection of Dawanshan Island lasted three full days before it came to an end. Liu Shanxia already had a rough idea of ​​the development plan in his mind. After returning to Victory Port, he would slowly sort it out and start to collect related materials.

The preparations have been completed. Because Dawanshan Island is very close to the mainland, a considerable number of materials and even construction personnel do not need to be shipped from the base camp. They can be prepared directly in Guangzhou, which can save a lot.

Trouble during transportation.

However, there is one thing that the all-powerful Garrison Office in Guangdong cannot do for you, and that is the garrison of Dawanshan Island. According to the military plan, at least one company of army troops will be stationed on Dawanshan Island. As for whether to station naval troops

, it depends on the speed of the navy's formation - judging from the current progress, it will be possible to send a fully-organized naval fleet to the Pearl River Estuary stronghold, at least in the second half of the year.

The current militia troops are no longer as resistant to being stationed overseas as they were at the beginning. First of all, the military has implemented the rotation system promised at the time. Troops stationed overseas can take up to six months at most and three months at least.

Returning to the homeland. One of the military tasks that the newly trained militia troops from the base camp will inevitably have after forming an army is to station in overseas strongholds for a period of time. This has formed a certain default practice.

Secondly, all militia officers who are stationed overseas can enjoy special allowances issued by the military, which can be up to more than twice their local service income. Those who have served overseas multiple times also enjoy priority in job promotions.

These measures also greatly increased the enthusiasm of militiamen to serve abroad. Therefore, when the military announced internally that it would dispatch a certain company to garrison at the Pearl River Estuary, it did not cause much controversy. Which company was selected?

The militiamen seemed very excited, because even if they are stationed for only three months, the special allowance they will receive can be used as military pay for at least one month. If there are other combat missions during this period, there will be additional benefits.

.

Since the end of the Battle of Annan, everyone in the Haihan Militia has realized the benefits of fighting. Although some people died on the battlefield during this process, compared with the results achieved, the casualty rate of the Haihan Militia in this era was

It is simply astonishingly low, almost negligible. The various forms of war dividends obtained after the war are the focus of everyone's attention. After the military announced this transfer order, there are already some people in the military.

I started to wonder if there would be another battle to fight next.

Compared with the prosperous Victory Port area, the Lianghe River Basin, dozens of miles north of Victory Port, seems increasingly deserted. There were not many residents in this place, not even large-scale villages, only a few

Individual households who came here on their own to open up wasteland live here. Since the Haihan people opened a port in Shengli Port a year ago, some people have heard that the Haihan people have given laborers excellent treatment, and have moved to Shengli Port one after another, and finally became naturalized citizens.

.In this area of ​​more than ten miles, only about 20 sparse families are left to live. Of course, for these people who stayed, the reduction of local residents is not necessarily a bad thing, so that they can occupy more land——

Although these lands have not been registered with the Yacheng government, they are not considered legal private property from a legal perspective.

Starting in March, the few local residents slowly felt that their good days seemed to be coming to an end. The Haihan people in Shengli Port sent several working groups to advise them to move away. If they are willing to go to Shengli

Hong Kong workers will be given priority in hiring, and some "appropriate" compensation will be provided for the expropriated farmland. Of course, the attitude of the Haihan people is not so kind to those who are unwilling to cooperate, and they directly give a time limit for relocation and claim

Those who fail to move within the expiry date will be responsible for the consequences.

These scattered people simply did not have the ability to fight against the Haihan militia who were armed to the teeth, and there was no force behind them to support them in going against the Haihan people. Therefore, most people chose to submit and moved to Victory Port to join the Haihan people.

In the social system controlled by the Han people, there are also a very few die-hard elements who do not intend to leave here and still ignore the warnings of the working group. They obviously do not realize that the militia organized by the Han people is not just used to scare people.

In the early morning of April 28, a militia force set out from a temporary camp near the Sanya Inland Port and marched toward the upper reaches of the two rivers. The main force of this militia force was the Shengli Port Independent Battalion that will be stationed at the Pearl River Estuary in the near future.

The fourth company, the company commander is named Chen Yixin, who is only a few months shy of turning 20 years old. He is considered a relatively young member of the time-traveling group. At the same time, he is also the youngest member of the current Military Commission.

Chen Yixin was not a professional soldier before time travel, and he had no real experience in joining the army. He was just a young worker assigned internally after attending a factory-run technical school in a certain arsenal. However, due to the special nature of his unit, Chen Yixin naturally became a local soldier.

He is a reserve militiaman and has also received decent militia training for nearly a year in his spare time. After learning about the Crossing Group by chance, he actively participated in it and completed it as soon as the interview was over.

After completing the resignation procedures, he went to Guangzhou to join the company with a meager savings of several thousand yuan. At that time, several executive committee members thought that this little guy might have read too many time-travel novels and was a little obsessed, but since the time-travel actions were all voluntary,

Regarding the principle of joining, Chen Yixin showed an extremely positive attitude, and the organizing committee had no reason to refuse his joining, so he finally got what he wanted and stayed to participate in the action.

In terms of professional skills, it is more suitable for Chen Yixin to go to the machining department than to enter the military and police system. After all, he has learned professional skills for several years. As for his amateur militia qualifications, compared with his colleagues in the military and police departments

It's just like a blank piece of paper. Being in the army is a little transparent. If you go to a production unit, you have a great chance of becoming a technical backbone.

But when Chen Yixin was assigned work internally, he insisted on taking a job in the Military and Police Department, even as an ordinary soldier. In the end, the executive committee fulfilled his wish and let him enter the Military and Police Department. The first batch of trainees of the Military and Police Department graduated.

At that time, Chen Yixin didn't even get a real job as an officer, only an empty military rank. When the second batch of trainees graduated, Chen Yixin was lucky enough to become a platoon leader - with the word "internship" hanging in front of it, too.

This shows that the top military officials lack sufficient trust in his personal abilities.

However, Chen Yixin himself was very calm and did not show any depression or anxiety. This calmness that did not match his age finally gave him an opportunity to perform. During the expedition to Annan, Chen Yixin served as the platoon leader.

He participated in several battles on the front line of the battlefield and completed the combat tasks of the headquarters relatively well. Although he was not awarded any personal military honors, his performance was noticed by the military superiors, who promoted him internally before the anniversary.

Company commander.

Of course, this improvement was somewhat forced, because at that time the military and police departments were already a foregone conclusion. After the separation, the number of military personnel was reduced by nearly half. Excluding Wu Zhuo, Xiang Chinan and others who were attached to the military

There are not many technical personnel with this title who can serve as mid-to-high-level commanders in the army. Although Chen Yixin is a little less qualified, his performance after time travel is remarkable, and there is basically nothing to fault, so

In this way, he was promoted to company commander by the Military Commission.

Less than a month after his promotion, Chen Yixin was assigned the task again. He will lead his company to garrison at the Pearl River Estuary in the near future. Although this task has certain risks, in Chen Yixin's view, it is another unique opportunity.

The best opportunity to make a contribution. But before that, he must first complete the tasks assigned by the executive committee and clear the undeveloped areas in the upper reaches of the two rivers in Sanya.
