Chapter 412 Persuading Wu Sen

With thousands of warships and tens of thousands of naval troops, Ruan Chinggui cannot imagine the scale of such a surface force. In its heyday, South Vietnam's navy only had a hundred or so warships. After years of civil war,

Most of them were destroyed in the attack, and the rest were wiped out by the Hai Han militia. The Hai Han navy that wiped out the South Vietnamese Navy actually only had about twenty warships. Although the individual combat effectiveness was good, the number was

Too little. If we were to fight in Fujian waters, let alone defeating our opponents, we would be more likely to be surrounded and suppressed by pirates.

Ruan Jinggui knew that a person with such high authority as Yan Chujie would not easily joke in front of his subordinates. Since these words came from his mouth, they should be inseparable. But for this reason, Ruan Jinggui finally

I understand why the Haihan people provided military assistance to the Ming army in a roundabout way, instead of carrying the sword themselves.

Yan Chujie himself said he couldn't beat him, and Ruan Jinggui didn't dare to come up with any more random ideas at the moment. He would make more mistakes and just quietly be a bag boy. In his heart, he secretly regretted his unobtrusive words just now, and was worried that he would be punished because of it.

The two senior Haihan officials left a bad impression.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you to help me with." Schneider did not forget Ruan Jinggui's entrustment, but still found an opportunity to bring it up: "Mr. Ruan has a close friend among the prisoners of war transported back by your military.

It is said that he has some real abilities, I hope your military can give him a chance."

Yan Chujie glanced at Ruan Jinggui and asked calmly: "Is it Wu Sen?"

"Yes, yes, it's Wu Sen." Ruan Jinggui responded hurriedly. Ruan Jinggui would not be surprised that the other party knew about this. If senior officials of the Haihan military did not know that there were enemy soldiers among the prisoners transported to Sanya

General, that's really weird.

"I have also read this person's information. Whether he has any skills is secondary, but he is said to be a die-hard!" Yan Chujie's tone was not very good when talking about Wu Sen.

In fact, this person had already been noticed by the frontline headquarters when he was captured in Hue. In order to supplement the navy, which was short of personnel, the military had a plan to recruit surrenders from prisoners, and as one of the few South Vietnamese sailors among the prisoners,

As a division officer, Wu Sen was naturally targeted by the military for recruitment and surrender. However, Wu Sen himself did not change his mind and rejected the military invitation at once. Although a diehard like Wu Sen would not be dragged out and shot,

But there is definitely no good fruit to eat, and being sent to a hard labor camp is an inevitable treatment. If he is willing to admit defeat, there is no chance of being used, but if he continues to carry it out, he will probably have to do it in the next few years.

After spending time in a hard labor camp, it is hard to say whether he will survive until the day he is released from prison.

"Mr. Yan, please ask me to persuade you!" Ruan Jinggui quickly said, "If it doesn't work, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

"Are you sure you can convince him?" Yan Chujie asked.

"I'm not sure, but I will try my best in this humble position!" Ruan Jinggui didn't dare to say anything like guarantee. He rescued Wu Sen out of friendship, but there was no need to drag himself into the water. If he said it too much, he would be

I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to Yan Chujie at this time.

Yan Chujie was silent for a while and then said: "Let's do this. I'll write you a note. You can take it to the Ministry of Justice and ask them to send someone to take you to visit Wu Sen."

Schneider wondered: "Isn't the whereabouts of prisoners of war under the control of your Military Commission?"

"It is under the control of our Military Commission, but it is on the battlefield." Yan Chujie had to explain to Schneider: "But after being escorted back to Sanya, except for those who were willing to accept naturalization and were asked to leave by various units, the rest

All the die-hards were imprisoned in the hard labor camp. Who was in charge of this hard labor camp before? You can't forget it, right?"

"Ren Liang!" Schneider finally came back to his senses.

Ren Liang was favored and promoted by the Executive Committee because of his effective work in the hard labor camp. He won the election of the Executive Committee on the first anniversary of Time Travel and entered the highest authority of the Time Travel Group. Ren Liang is now

He is the Deputy Minister of Justice and Director of the Police Department. This hard labor camp is the foundation of his fortune, and naturally it is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice. Although the Military Commission also has the power to deal with these prisoners, the actual jurisdiction is in the hands of the Police Department.

There is indeed some overlap in authority between the two parties.

The previous authority relationship between these agencies was like a sacred book to Ruan Jinggui, who had just entered the system for two days. Fortunately, with Schneider's promise, he could save the time of going through the layers of procedures.

There are people in the DPRK who are easy to work with, and this principle works no matter what time it is. After getting the note personally approved by Yan Chujie, Ruan Jinggui got the green light all the way to the Ministry of Justice without any hindrance, and obtained the visitation rights smoothly.

Since Wu Sen had been escorted to the Tiandu Iron Mine inland for hard labor, and Ruan Chinggui's new immigrant status prevented him from entering that area at will, Ren Liang specially sent someone to take him there.

Ruan Jinggui noticed that this policeman looked very young, but the logo on his collar badge was different from the patrol police on the street. Ruan Jinggui had learned when he was in the isolation camp that the patrol police in Sanya were divided into two levels, Level 2

Patrol officers are ordinary police officers, first-class patrol officers serve as squad leaders, and then there are superintendents, police inspectors and superintendents. What distinguishes the ranks of these police officers is their collar badges. This one looks like he is less than twenty years old.

The young man wearing a collar badge is actually a second-level police superintendent, which is considered a minor official in this system.

Looking at his appearance, Ruan Jinggui couldn't tell whether he was a Haihan or a naturalized citizen for a while, because this man had shaved off his short hair, which is very common among Haihan people, but his complexion was dark and tight, which was obviously better than the common Haihan people.

The Han people were in a dark circle.

Ruan Jinggui followed the police officer out of the office and took the initiative to greet him: "Ruan Jinggui, haven't you asked me how to call me?"

The young police officer glanced at him and responded in a deep voice: "My last name is Fu, just call me Officer Fu."

This young police officer was one of the first batch of naturalized Li people to work in the Haihan system. Fu Li was the former young master of Fushandong. Fu Li had left Lidong two years ago and mixed with the Haihan people.

After his former friend Yu Xiaobao went to Guangzhou, Fu Li originally wanted to join the army, but because his identity was relatively sensitive, the military did not accept him in the end and instead gave him to Ren Liang.

Ren Liang did not enshrine the young master as a Buddha statue, but took him with him and slowly taught him some police-related knowledge. At the same time, he enrolled him in a night school literacy class. After entering the police force,

Fu Li gradually transformed from a young boy in the mountains to a backbone of the police force.

Fu Li didn't make any great contributions during his time in the police force. He was able to be promoted to superintendent at the age of seventeen because he "joined the revolution" at an early age, plus his special status.

Most of the time, he works beside Ren Liang. After Ren Liang was promoted to a member of the executive committee and took charge of the police department, Fu Li was promoted along with the rising tide. Of course, Fu Li has not yet fully realized the benefits of this, and he may be able to live a life of one or two more.

Years later, when Haihan's power grows stronger, he will gradually realize how much of an advantage he has won at the starting line.

"I'm going to trouble Officer Fu a lot today, and I can't repay you for it. Don't be dissatisfied with a little care, Officer Fu!" Ruan Jinggui said as he took out a few circulation coupons and handed them over. In the past, when he was in South Vietnam, there were also some in the family.

People who work in the public sector, Ruan Jinggui knows the rules of this industry to some extent. If he doesn't manage the people who work well, he won't be able to handle the matter smoothly, and he might even get cheated.

However, before Ruan Jinggui could pass it over, he was blocked by Fu Li: "That's not necessary. The rules of our police yamen are a little different from those where you have been before. We don't like this."

Ruan Jinggui was unsure of Fu Li's attitude, but seeing that his tone was a little firm, he had to take it back angrily.

It was almost twenty miles from Fort Victory to Tiandu, and the fastest way of transportation was still by train. So the two of them went to Fort Victory Station and waited for the next train bound for the inland.

A group of workers who were noisy on the platform immediately became quiet after seeing Fu Li in black cloth uniforms. Although the number of police in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Executive Committee is not large, their authority is very large, and they can use any number of workers.

In Liang's words, "the top is in charge of the sky, the bottom is in charge of the ground, and the middle is in charge of the air." It covers the functions of public security, fire protection, urban management, safety supervision and other departments in another time and space, and is superior to the official "Yulin Inspection Department"

In terms of institutions, it can be said that apart from the Haihan Militia, the police are the most prestigious institution among the local people.

Fu Li's status as a police officer often brings many conveniences when he goes out. For example, after the train arrived at the station, the workers on the train took the initiative to reserve a seat for Fu Li, and even Ruan Jinggui, who was following him, also benefited from it.

.

Although this was not his first time riding a train, Ruan Jinggui was still a little excited. This was not only because he would see his old friend soon, but also partly because he could finally enter the hinterland of the Haihan controlled area and have the opportunity.

Take a look at how the mysterious workshops there produce all kinds of exquisite utensils.

For new immigrants who have not yet obtained naturalized citizenship, most places in the interior of Tiandu are off-limits. Without Fu Li's company, Ruan Jinggui would probably be accused of being a spy when he got off the train.

They were arrested. And Ruan Jinggui was lucky enough to go deep into Tiandu this time, in fact, it was more or less thanks to Wu Sen. If this guy hadn't been detained to work in the Tiandu iron mine, Ruan Jinggui would have no corresponding reason to apply this time.

Visited.

As the train moved forward, Ruan Jinggui also noticed that there was an official road with a width of more than one foot between the train road and Tiandu River. From time to time, he saw ox carts carrying goods on it, and he secretly admired the Haihan people.

Skills in engineering construction.

When he got off the train at Tiandu Railway Station, Ruan Jinggui, who only had an immigration identification tag hanging around his neck, was indeed investigated. Fortunately, Fu Li, who was traveling with him, showed his ID and the route given by the police department to his colleagues in time.

, and then passed the customs smoothly. Even so, Ruan Jinggui has also realized that this Tiandu is not a place that can be visited casually. The inspection at this station is so strict, not to mention the workshops that produce various utensils.

After the two of them exited the station, Fu Li led the way and followed a narrow rail passage up a gentle slope. After walking for more than a mile, Fu Li raised his hand and pointed forward and said: "Ahead is the Tiandu Iron Mine.

Got it!"

Ruan Jinggui glanced over and saw that there didn't seem to be many people working in that area, and he was still a little confused. When he got closer, he realized that the mining scale of this mine was far greater than what he thought.

The Tiandu Iron Mine adopts an open-pit mining method. A large pit with a diameter of more than 300 meters has been dug in the vein, and the excavation surface spirals downward, reaching a depth of tens of meters. Ruan Jinggui stood at the top edge of the pit

, you can see that in the mine below there are at least four to five hundred hard laborers naked, with only a cloth wrapped around their crotches, bent over and digging desperately.

The excavated ore was put into bamboo baskets. Once filled, special laborers would carry it on their backs and transport it to several concentration points. The ore in the bamboo baskets would then be poured into mine carts the size of the tabletop of the Eight Immortals Table.

If you move a little slower, you will be scolded by the nearby supervisor. If you don't obey the greeting, you will soon be whipped.

Ruan Jinggui noticed that there were two thin rails under these mine cars that led directly to the top of the mine pit. There were ropes under the mine cars that also led all the way up the rails, and the other end of the ropes was fixed on a strange device.

Ruan Jinggui had already seen how a steam locomotive operated. When he saw workers adding coal to the device, coupled with the steam flowing around it, Ruan Jinggui roughly guessed the purpose of the device.

Sure enough, after a while the roller in front of the device came into action, rolling up the rope connected to the mine car below, pulling the heavy mine car up from the pit wall. After two years of use, this steam-powered lifting equipment

After using it, a relatively mature production, installation and debugging process has been established. Now not only the Tiandu Iron Mine is using this device, but also the Damao Manganese Phosphate Mine located further inland, and the Heitugang Coal Mine in northern Annan.

The same facilities are used to improve production efficiency.

In addition to this kind of lifting device, there are also mineral concentrators and stone crushers that use steam power. These tall and powerful machines made Ruan Jinggui's eyes wide open when he first arrived. I had heard all kinds of stories about the Haihan people's ability to use fire.

There were rumors about using water to generate force. At that time, it was only said that the Haihan people knew magic. But after seeing these demonstrations with his own eyes, Ruan Jinggui felt that he couldn't tell whether it was magic or some other secret technique.

Fu Li did not take the time to take Ruan Jinggui slowly to see the production conditions of the iron mine. He directly went to the colleague in charge of the local guard duty and showed him the prisoner arraignment document signed by Ren Liang.

After waiting for two sticks of incense by the mine, Ruan Jinggui finally saw Wu Sen appearing naked in front of him. Although it had not been a few days since the last meeting, Ruan Jinggui felt that Wu Sen's body seemed to have already

I have lost a lot of weight and my mental state is far worse than before. Big beads of sweat drip down my chin, as if I had just been fished out of the water.

"Officer Fu, can you find a quieter place so I can talk to him?" Ruan Jinggui did not rush forward to acknowledge Wu Sen this time, but made another request.

Fu Li had received instructions from Ren Liang before setting off, and he knew the purpose of bringing Ruan Jinggui here, so he did not refuse the request and asked the police on duty at the mine to take Wu Sen to a nearby police camp tent.

"Brother Wu, you have suffered!" Ruan Jinggui still couldn't help but sigh when he saw his old friend again. He thought that they were both young talents in South Vietnam with good development prospects, but now he has changed his family and joined the Haihan people.

, will soon become a naturalized civilian cadre, while his stubborn friend is serving hard labor as a prisoner under the supervision of the Haihan people. While Ruan Jinggui lamented that fate has tricked people, he could not help but make up his mind to take Wu Sen away from this place.
