At the end of May, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng boarded the Thunderbolt and returned to Beihai Town. At this time, a large 40-cubic tank of diesel oil in the oil workshop had been filled. It seemed like a lot, but this small amount of oil was not to mention 60,000 tons.
The Thunder God is so powerful, even the Thor can only run for one day.
On the way back to Beihai Town by boat, Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng, and Deng Fei discussed the current dilemma in detail. Beihai Town is currently stuck in a chicken or egg problem.
The first is Kuye Island, one is oil and the other is coal. Coal is basically to support oil production.
Next is the Ezo land. In addition to supporting coal in Beihai Town, there is also the vast land in Pingyuan Town that can accommodate a large number of people and carry out large-scale agricultural production.
The third is trade with Sendai Domain and trade with Jiangnan. Especially the former is directly related to Zhao Xin's overall plan for the island country.
When Zhao Xin finished saying this, Deng Fei added another fire.
"The temporary camp in southern Jeju Island is now too large, with more than 20,000 people. We must solve this problem as soon as possible. First, the food there can only guarantee 60% of the supply. Second, North Korean officials have sent troops to try to drive away
, but was scared off by the number of refugees. I felt that this matter was definitely not over yet."
Zhao Xin scratched his head for a long time, smoked half a pack of cigarettes, and finally made a decision to solve the human problem first. He first said to Deng Fei: "You should work harder these days. After returning to Beihai Town, take a battalion away. First
Bring back all the refugees in Jeju Island. On the civil affairs side, Lao Chen and I will discuss it and see how to make adjustments. The division of labor should be as detailed as possible. We can no longer just grab everything."
Next, he said to Liu Sheng: "The army needs to make major adjustments. The first thing is to expand the scale. I am considering expanding it to at least 10,000 people. When you go back, discuss it with Wang Yuanfang and the others first to see how to maximize the number of new soldiers after they arrive."
We will quickly form combat effectiveness. In addition, as the size of the army expands, the original battalion, company and platoon commanders are supposed to be promoted to a higher level, but we can't do this. We have to go back to training again. You guys can come up with a way. As mentioned above, three days, no,
Come out with a written document in five days, and you military chiefs must sign and review it."
Liu Sheng and Deng Fei looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"After the Thor has completed the cleaning of the bottom of the ship and launched it into the water, it will be temporarily responsible for the work on the Manchu side. Both of you are sailors, let's see who among our existing people can be promoted. Deng Fei always runs alone, sooner or later
You have to lie down when you are tired."
Deng Fei suddenly said: "I think it's better to let Ding Guofeng do this. He has mentioned it to me in private several times."
"Can he do it?" Zhao Xin was a little doubtful.
"If you remove the word '?', he can do it!" Deng Fei smiled. "From the modification of the Thor to the modification of the Thunder, do you think Guofeng is just a cook? He has learned a lot from me.
, at least he has no problem at all with the correct use and routine maintenance of the driving equipment and steering gear.”
Liu Sheng smiled at Zhao Xin and said, "Actually, you don't know that this guy has taken the time to learn a lot of turbine knowledge on his own over the past year."
Zhao Xin said in surprise: "Does he still have such thoughts? Okay, let him go to sea with Deng Fei this time. It can be regarded as internship training. When the Thor is launched, Lao Liu, you can take him for a while."
One day later, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng returned to Beihai Town and immediately started running around.
That night, Zhao Xin went to Chen Qingsong's dormitory, and the two chatted all night. The next morning, Zhao Xin, who had slept for three hours, stared at panda eyes and talked to Zhao Liang, Fang Hua, and Hong Tao respectively. The couple, Liu Zheng, Shen Jingdan, Zhao Pingtai (Pingtai) and others talked. After he talked with these people, he discussed with Chen Qingsong for a day, and finally decided to adjust the entire civil affairs system. The adjustment plan was drafted by Chen Qingsong.
Thanks to the ginseng tea and nourishing desserts carefully prepared by Miss Qinghe, otherwise Comrade Chen would have to lie down from exhaustion. Two days later, Chen Qingsong, with panda eyes, handed over a civil affairs adjustment plan.
The entire Ministry of Civil Affairs has changed from the original one-stop control to one in charge of each. Chen Qingsong is still in charge, but the division of labor below has begun to be refined. Under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there will be seven branches: agriculture, transportation, industry, trade, medical care, publicity and education, and ethnic groups. departments.
The agricultural department is divided into planting and animal husbandry, both of which are under the responsibility of Chen Qingsong. Since Liu Zheng is going to be the head of the Guangzhou Trade Office, he will leave the animal husbandry department to Yalha.
The transportation department is currently mainly responsible for building roads, mainly including the roads from Beihai Town to Fuldan City, from Fuldan City to the Mongolian Military Station via Jurgen City, and from the Oha Camp on Kuye Island to various coal mines in the west. These Part of it was left to Wan Zao and Zhao Maosuke (Mosuke) respectively.
The industrial sector is more complicated. It is divided into six sub-sectors including chemical industry, petroleum, coal, steel, cigarettes, and military manufacturing. Among them, military manufacturing is closely related to the military. Zhao Liang is in charge of the entire industry department, and he is also responsible for it. There are two sub-departments of steel and military manufacturing; Teacher Fang Huafang is not interested in managing the entire Ministry of Industry, so he only takes charge of one chemical industry. In addition to manufacturing various gunpowder and explosives, he will also be responsible for the entire small synthetic ammonia project; oil must be Zhang Bo, but Coal is now closely linked to oil production, and he also serves as the head of the coal department; the cigarettes are light industrial products, and Rikichi's wife Shino is in charge.
The trade department is divided into two parts. One is the trade between the island countries and Ezo, which is left to Zhao Pingtai (Pingtai). As for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, after Chen Qingsong proposed, Zhao Xin finally nodded in agreement. Boss Shen Jingtanshen Finally, he stood out and entered the Beihai Town government system that he had always dreamed of. This bold and careful boss Shen, Zhao Xin's future father-in-law, will be responsible for trade with the Qing Dynasty and building a trade network.
The medical department is still in charge of the Hong Tao couple, which has jurisdiction over the Beihai Town Central Hospital, Fuldan City Medical Center (currently a clinic), Oha Hospital, and Pingyuan Town Medical Clinic. At the same time, Dr. Hong himself will also be responsible for the preparation of the Beihai Town Pharmaceutical Factory. work; drugs planned to be launched in the next two years include aspirin, vitamin C, oxytetracycline and some Chinese patent pills and decoctions jointly developed by the Wu brothers.
In the propaganda and education department, the eight people from the education department are still responsible for the basic education of the next generation in Beihai Town. Since these people are already very old, Zhao Xin does not intend to let them take care of anything else. As for the propaganda aspect, Chen Qingsong is mainly responsible for it. I heard that the radio station in the prisoner camp in Fuldan City was doing well, so I decided to promote it in Beihai Town and Fuldan City. The method was to use loudspeakers and village radio stations; as for the announcers, they were recruited from among the refugees. Select training.
The matter of ethnic groups is complicated. From the outside, it is necessary to unite not only the border residents in the outer northeast, but also the islanders, Ainu, and even the Manchus in the outer northeast; from the inside, it is necessary to promote the return of the Han people and the island countries. The integration of Huamin, as well as the integration of the existing residents of Beihai Town and a small number of future border residents. Since everyone has always believed that Zhao Xin knows the most about the history of Northeast China and is the most slippery, this position must be his.
After Zhao Xin reviewed the draft of the adjustment plan, it was distributed to the heads and quasi-heads of each department for discussion. A week later, the civil affairs department held a meeting. At the meeting, Zhao Xin protested that he was forced to take charge of ethnic affairs, and everyone decided to oppose it. Invalid and ignored. The final draft was passed unanimously.
Among the newly promoted people, nineteen-year-old Zhinai, as one of the first two people to follow Zhao Xin, took office as the director of the cigarette factory amidst the envy and jealousy of countless people.
As for Manzo and Shigesuke, they spent most of the past two years either learning to drive tractors in the agricultural machinery unit or leading workers to build roads and carry out projects, so their promotions were taken for granted by everyone.
Boss Shen Jingdan was so proud that he even sang a ditty at the dinner table when he returned home. His first plan after taking office was to return to Yangzhou and move all the Shen family members to Beihai Town to ensure a happy family. To ensure the safety of the family. At the same time, he will also promote capable talents among the Shen family's children and assist him in establishing trade channels throughout the Jiangnan region and even the northern region.
The affairs of the civil affairs department have come to an end. At this time, Liu Sheng has also completed the draft of the army expansion plan. In his plan, the Beihai Town army system will be expanded from 5,000 to 14,000 people. Public security The police system will be expanded from 300 to 1,500 people.
In the military system, the existing five battalions will be upgraded to five regiments to establish the framework of a division-level force. In addition to the 200-person division headquarters, it has five infantry regiments, one artillery battalion, and one marine corps (battalion-level organization). ), as well as engineer battalions, signal companies, reconnaissance companies and other support elements.
Each infantry regiment has an authorized strength of 2,200 men, with a total of three battalions, plus regiment guard companies, engineer companies, and communications companies. Each battalion and company is organized according to the three-three system.
The artillery battalion consists of 1,000 people, with three artillery companies and 18 D30 howitzers; the Marine Corps has 1,000 men, with two battalions, two artillery companies, an engineer company, and a communications company; the reconnaissance company is in the Serdan team Based on the expansion, it has been expanded from two squads to one company; the support team has a temporary number of 2,000 people, mainly engaged in daily warehouse management, logistics, transportation, medical care, equipment repair and maintenance, and also corresponds to the navy and army.
When it comes to recruitment specifically, the recruitment work will be carried out by dispatching personnel from the division headquarters, cooperating with the security police, and through group propaganda in each residential area. Training will be carried out by selecting elite soldiers from each battalion to form a recruit training brigade for training. In addition, all platoons will The above-mentioned officers will be trained in batches. Those who have not completed the first training plan will not be promoted.
Liu Sheng is still the deputy of the military system, taking charge of the military system for Zhao Xin. Zhao Liang now spends most of his time in charge of industrial projects, and his interest is not in fighting, so he decided not to hold military positions. Wang Yuanfang, Ding Guofeng, Wu Siyu and Deng Fei have become the four kings of the military system. Deng Fei and Ding Guofeng are in charge of maritime operations and leading the Marine Corps to cooperate; Wang Yuanfang and Wu Siyu will be in charge of military training.
The police system is divided into three parts: public security police, internal security and intelligence systems. The security police have been expanded to 800 people and are responsible for household registration and public security management in Beihai Town, Fuldan City, Pingyuan Town, and Oha Camp; the internal security system is responsible for
The security work of the heads of each department; the intelligence system includes the existing monitoring stations and two major intelligence systems, which are respectively responsible for the existing monitoring systems of Manchuria, the island country, and Beihai Town.
The security police department is still in charge of Katabei (Katabei Kanbei), and the hateful police officer Katayama was promoted to Chief Katayama.
The intelligence system is under the responsibility of Zhao Xin. In addition to a small number of the original personnel, some personnel from the civil affairs trade port will also serve as intelligence personnel. Pingtai, as the person in charge of trade with the island countries, and as the deputy of the intelligence department, is in charge of the affairs with the island countries.
Intelligence strategy: Xu Dayong and Wang Changsheng will be responsible for the intelligence work against the Manchus. The Huaihe River is temporarily used as the dividing line, one south and one north. Lu Shoushan will be transferred back and enter the military system.
As soon as the army's adjustment plan came out, especially when the news spread to the army that officers above the company level would be sent back for training in batches, officers at all levels howled! It doesn't matter if we are asked to use guns to fight, many people can handle it in a literacy class.
.But picking up a pen and paper to learn mathematics, geometry and politics is simply life-threatening!
"You want your life? You want my life! This Liu Dasha, let me do the task of compiling political textbooks. I am already busy enough, and you still want to find trouble for me!" Zhao Xin complained while scribbling on the desk.
Continuously.
Throughout June, Deng Fei and Ding Guofeng drove the Thunderbolt to and from southern Jeju Island and Beihai Town, bringing more than 30,000 domestic refugees to Beihai Town. This time, the source of refugees was not just Henan.
In addition to Shandong, there are also refugees from southern Zhili, northern Hubei and northern Jiangsu. Based on an average of 3 to 4 people per household, there are nearly 10,000 families in total.
In order to open the road from Beihai Town to Fuldan City as soon as possible, these refugees basically just got off the ship a few days ago. As soon as the security police completed the population registration, they were immediately sent to the road construction army. This was different from the treatment of previous refugees.
Likewise, these people basically eat cornmeal for three meals a day, white flour once a week, and their monthly salary is five yuan of silver coins.
Different from those who came in batches before, a large number of people were thrown into the construction site without enough time for brainwashing and education, which put huge pressure on the public health system of Beihai Town. The security police and construction site managers deal with these people every day
It's hard to guard against the guys who "fertilize" the mountains and rivers everywhere.
Facing these people with sunken eyes and skinny bones, Chen Qingsong finally gritted his teeth and made a rule. Anyone who dared not go to the designated place to "fertilize" would have their rations stopped for two days.
The rumbling sounds of rock-breaking and rock-blasting continued to sound in the valley. With the extensive use of ammonium nitrate explosives, the originally peaceful and peaceful east bank of the Fuljiaha River has completely changed. More than a dozen hills were gradually flattened, leaving patches of
The original forest was cut down, and a large amount of gravel obtained from the mountain bombing was processed and turned into road paving materials.
As the population grows, the progress of road construction on the north and south roads is steadily increasing. Chen Qingsong expects that it will be fully completed in mid-July; by mid-August, it will be possible for two cars to run side by side on the entire road.
By the end of June, more than two thousand new soldiers had begun intense training. In order to ensure the nutrition of the recruits, the recruits from Henan and Shandong were drilled to death by the training team every day, but they were fed
Mouth full of oil.
The days passed like this. At the beginning of July, Beihai Town entered the rainy season. Chen Qingsong led people to inspect the farmland every day, making preparations for the autumn harvest.
Zhao Xin was also preparing to go south again at this time to complete the meeting with Liu Quan on Flower and Bird Island. At this moment, several unexpected visitors suddenly arrived, which delayed the departure of the Thor for two days.
The visitors were several Korean businessmen, and they came by boat.
