In the eighth year of Huali's reign, there were still three years left for Wan Lei's second term. He began to plan for his life after "retirement." In February of that year, the construction funds for the two ships Dadong and Xiaodong were in place.
Construction of Fuzhou Shipyard and Dalian Military Port has begun, with an estimated construction period of three years.
In addition to building a big ship, Wan Lei is also starting to look for people. After all, if he wants to colonize Dadongzhou, he cannot just cross the ocean with his family, but also needs to find at least several thousand people to go with him. The Dadong is a large cruise ship that can carry
It can carry more than 2,000 passengers, plus the crew, it can carry 4,000 people. Plus the Xiaodong, it can carry more than 6,000 people.
It is not an easy task to find all six thousand people. After all, the Republic of China is strong and the people are safe, and the people's lives are prosperous. There are really not many people who are willing to give up their original comfortable life and go to the remote wilderness with Wan Lei.
to start a new business.
In fact, Wan Lei also knows that although Dadongzhou is rich in resources and vast fertile land, it is an undeveloped area. In addition to requiring a large number of colonists to open up wasteland, some auxiliary equipment must be brought from the Republic of China, such as
Let’s talk about steel-making equipment, such as drilling machines. Although he is the president, he can’t just get it in vain. Instead of buying these valuable equipment with money, he has to buy parts and assemble them himself.
Finding people to build ships and equip them with equipment were the three major things Wan Lei wanted to do. In early March, he and Fu Wei went to the Yifu Orphanage in the north of Beiping City to visit the more than 2,000 orphans living here. This orphanage
It was established by Fu Wei in the name of the First Lady. The fund was mainly financed from Wan Lei's presidential salary. The orphanage brought together almost all orphans from all over the country to support it.
Fu Wei was also considered an orphan. She often visited these orphans when she had time. She also sent the best caregivers to take care of their lives and the best teachers to provide them with the best education. These children suffered a lot.
Most of the people in this world are sensible and grateful people. Whoever treats them well will be repaid twice as much.
Wan Lei took a fancy to these orphans' ability to repay their kindness. Naturally, he came to the orphanage this time to recruit people. Of course, he did not want to establish a boy scout army or a mercenary army, but to find people who would develop Dadongzhou.
Like-minded people, so before recruiting people, you must first give a passionate speech, comprehensively explain the necessity and feasibility of developing Dadongzhou, and call on everyone to cross the sea and open borders to perform arts without selling themselves for the prosperity of the nation. Read the full text.
"To maintain the long-term prosperity of the nation, we need the spirit of courage to pioneer, and even more pioneers who are brave in dedication. As the president now, I will be an ordinary person after retirement. I don't want to die in the loess. I will move my family to the other side of the ocean.
, try our best to open up a new sky for the nation. None of you here have family worries. If you want to be one of the pioneers and leave your name in history, you can join us and work with us to smooth the waves and open up a better future.
A bright future.”
After Wan Lei finished his speech, the teenagers below were all excited. Indeed, they had no family to worry about and no property they could not part with. They were the best candidates to immigrate to Dadongzhou. And Wan Lei is now starting to recruit people.
People will spend three years training them so that they have at least one skill and can become independent colonial experts.
"Yes, our whole family is preparing to immigrate to Dadongzhou. It is still a wild land with many unknown dangers. If anyone does not want to take risks, no one will blame him." Fu Wei also stood at the front desk and reminded calmly.
.
However, it was okay that she didn't say anything. As soon as she mentioned that there was danger, the children below all shouted that they were not afraid, and said that they would follow Mrs. Wan wherever she went.
"Indeed, the environment in Dadongzhou is difficult and there are many dangers, so immigrants need to have strong survival ability. However, everyone who signs up for immigration must go through three years of arduous survival training. We, Wanjia, are no exception. Everyone
If you don't want to endure hardship, then don't force it." Wan Lei added that he was preparing to conduct militarized training for the immigrants.
"We can endure hardships and are not afraid of any difficulties."
"Yes, we want to be pioneers, and no difficulty will be able to trouble us."
The following people responded, with firmness written all over their young faces.
"Everyone, I will give you three days to think about it. Registration will start on the seventh day of March and be completed on the ninth day. Starting from March 11th, all applicants will go to the training camp of the Peking Army to participate in military training. The training there is not only difficult, but also
You need to learn various survival skills, and I hope you will think carefully before making a decision." Wan Lei does not want a passionate follower, he wants a "soldier" who can truly endure hardships, have skills, responsibility, and a sense of honor.
After the recruitment speech, Wan Lei walked around the orphanage, visited the staff at all levels, and inquired about the food and accommodation conditions of the orphanage. Fu Wei was the honorary director of the orphanage, and he really put orphans first.
Ben, not only provides meticulous care for each orphan materially, but more importantly spiritually.
Almost every orphan who grew up in the orphanage has a sound personality and is more self-reliant and self-reliant than other children of the same age. This is the quality that Wan Lei values most. After all, Wan Lei not only wants to colonize Dadongzhou, but also wants to colonize Dadongzhou.
A beautiful new world must be built there, not a penal colony for sin, so people with sound personalities must be used to lay a solid foundation for the establishment of the new world.
In fact, Wan Lei didn't just recruit orphans, he also extended an olive branch to those elite guards who were loyal to him, and even informed the wealthy and military families, hoping that they would contribute some of their children who dared to take risks. After all,
Dadongzhou is a big fat piece of meat. The sooner you get involved in it, the more profitable it will be in the future.
In addition, after Wan Lei explained to these wealthy families that all eggs cannot be put in one basket, they suddenly understood that immigrating some clan members to Dadongzhou would be a good way to avoid the risk of losing everyone in the family.
.
Therefore, major wealthy families have also sent candidates to military camps for training since March. Some wealthy families who have had long-term cooperation with Wan Lei have even begun to provide financial support for Wan Lei's immigration plan as a long-term investment.
To strive for greater profits in the future.
While the major wealthy families were preparing for their "fallback", Wan Lei also sent his two sons, who were only in their teens, to a special training camp so that they could participate in training together with those who had signed up.
This move may seem cold-blooded, but Wan Yuan and Wan Sheng both know that their father has good intentions in doing this. He eats, lives and trains with the recruiters so that they can accumulate contacts and prepare for their future efforts in Dadongzhou.
team, because in Dadongzhou, they will have the biggest stage of life built by their father for them. They can fully display their talents, pursue their own dreams of greatness, and strive for their own unparalleled glory.
