Section 11 Commercial Station

 Section 11 Business Station

The difficulty is not in terms of reliability - according to the report of the Li and Miao Affairs Office, at least all Li Dong and Miao villages in Lingao "wholeheartedly support" the new regime. The work of the past three years was not in vain.

There are a large number of malaria patients among the Miao population. There is a statement in the local chronicles of Hainan Island that "Li people are prone to diseases." Although according to the observations of the health team sent by the Ministry of Health to go deep into Li District, most of the malaria patients in Li Miao are benign malaria.

But intermittent attacks make it difficult for them to be fully utilized either as a general workforce or as soldiers.

"I don't think the problem is big. Don't the people still riot often? If they have the strength to riot, they don't have the strength to serve as soldiers?" Skade said, "Besides, some of them must be able to resist violence. Otherwise, how can the people stay in the mountainous area for a long time?"

How about surviving?”

"So the people of Li people rioted frequently, but their fighting capacity was limited. The Ming Dynasty could suppress the situation by relying on a group of beggar-like guard soldiers guarding a few villages." Dongmen Chuiyu said, "The army has to exercise, train, and be on duty every day. Soldiers

But I don’t know when one day something will happen and this army will not be able to be used.”

"It would be a waste to not use such human resources." Skade was obsessed with the Li people, "Can't we treat them?"

"Let's think about specific methods." Dongmen Chuiyu was unwilling to disclose the military's specific plans for this, and was vague. Since the Executive Committee is now reluctant to expand the military by reducing the number of workers under the rule,

personnel establishment, and the demand for military strength from all parties continues unabated. A large number of highly dispersed public security and internal defense tasks have affected the normal education and training of the army. Recruiting a group of mercenaries to perform public security tasks has enabled the army to shift from public security and internal defense tasks to

The idea of ​​​​escape from the operation was abnormally brought to the internal meeting of the General Military Affairs Tribunal. Li Miao soldiers were just one of the options.

As soon as the Hong Kong development plan was announced, it immediately aroused the enthusiasm for new officials to seek official positions. Although the second plenary session established the basic principle of "voluntary registration, organized review" for the selection of officials, there are still many people who are not only internally

In addition to registering on the website of the Internet Organization Office, they also visited various people in private who they thought could exert influence. Mingming had to stay away from the courtyard of the general office for several days to avoid being forced to "have a meal."

Let’s chat for a while.”

After some intense activities on and off the stage, a list of bureaucratic configurations in Hong Kong was finally announced: Luo Chen, a technician from Tiandihui, was appointed as the captain of the Hong Kong Farm Reclamation Team; Shi Zhiqi was appointed as the Hong Kong Security Commander, and Le Lin was appointed as the Hong Kong Security Commander.

Commander of the Naval Detachment, Hung Hung Yin, serves as the Hong Kong Commercial Representative.

In addition, a group of technical cadres were also assigned to go to Hong Kong, including Shi Jiantao, who strongly advocated the construction of a shipyard in Hong Kong. This person originally worked at the Planning Institute and was very interested in the shipbuilding industry, so he took the initiative to serve as the director of the Hong Kong shipyard.

.

The appointment of Shi Zhiqi as the Hong Kong Garrison Commander was originally unsuccessful. The Army believed that it was unreasonable for all senior military positions in Hong Kong to be occupied by the naval system. However, in the end everyone finally reached a consensus: the Hong Kong Garrison Commander should choose someone with experience in amphibious operations.

If someone comes to take the job, Shi Zhiqi is obviously the most qualified candidate.

In response to the increasing number of expatriate elders, the Senate officially implemented the "senator committee" and "collective decision-making on major affairs" systems among all expatriate elder collectives with more than two persons. If more than three elders are stationed in one place, a local committee must be established.

All major local policy decisions of the Elders Committee must be informed and even voted on at the Elders Committee meeting. The committee must meet regularly and records must be kept of meetings.

The "Qionghai Coal", escorted by two patrol boats, slowly docked at the Central Pier 1 on the "Saint Maiden Bay" - the Central Government Administration Council has officially issued a place naming document, officially changing the name of Xiangshan O to "

"Hong Kong Island", base 852 was renamed "Central"; Victoria Bay was named "Sir's Bay", replacing the non-existent name of Queen Victoria.

On the deck of "Qionghai Coal" stood several people wearing gray and green uniforms, pointing at the Central Base under construction. Their tall, strong bodies and better clothes indicated that they were so-called "seniors".

The soldiers who were busy working as loaders on the dock were whispering to each other. Does the arrival of another group of veterans mean that there is a new operation to be carried out? After the military operation against the Pearl River Basin ended, many veterans left Hong Kong one after another. Now the elders on the island

There are only two or three people left.

Under the tow of the big boat, the Great Whale slowly landed on the trestle and set up a springboard. When the port staff came on board for inspection, several elders had already disembarked, including a twenty-five-six-year-old elder.

The man who looked like that was originally in a small shed next to the dock, but he quickly came over to greet him.

"Member! You're here." The young man greeted a thirty-year-old veteran who came off the boat. It was Mei Lin from the General Construction Company.

"Xiao Shi, you're doing a good job here." Merlin looked around, "It's been four months and it's starting to take shape."

The sharp whistle sounded - the port authorities had noticed that the red warning flag symbolizing the highest danger sign was hanging on the Qionghai coal, and the workers and soldiers who were working near Pier 1 quickly evacuated.

"What? Dangerous goods have been transported." Xiao Shi changed his color a little.

"Explosives." Merlin said briefly, "Didn't you apply for explosives to be used for mining?"

"Yes, yes, let's go first."

A few people ignored each other and exchanged greetings. Led by a man named "Xiao Shi", Wei Kuan walked to the commercial station at the Central Base. The commercial station was more than 1 kilometer away from the seaside pier, and the construction team built a familiar road here.

The standard rail of railway tracks is used to transport goods and people between two places.

Since the Pearl River Estuary detachment landed in Hong Kong in September 1630, the development of the 852 base has been in progress. The planned Central base has formed a rough scale. The business station is the core building of the entire base. It is the dominant building.

Fortress and foundation. This building was built according to the 19th century armed trading station model and after comprehensive design with reference to modern government public construction design experience. The area is not large, but the supporting facilities are complete.

The entire main castle is a rectangular multi-story hollow building. The structure is roughly a large open space surrounded by multi-story buildings. At the four corners are four convex corner castles, each 5 stories high and 17 meters high. The top is an open-air fort. Below it

Each floor is the guard's residence, ammunition depot, gym... The bottom floor is the toilet, which is flushed with sea water.

Except for the Corner Fort, all floors are 4 stories high and 14 meters high. There are no windows on the first and second floors in the outward direction. There are windows only on the third floor and above. There are iron protective window panels that can be closed in case of attack.

But for the inner courtyard, there are windows on each floor to facilitate ventilation and lighting. The top terraces of the floors are equipped with fortifications.

The building facing the south is the external office area, and the ground floor is the lobby and gate. All institutions that need external office are located here. In the middle of the south building, there is a five-story bell tower. The east floor is the dormitory area, where the security team

Soldiers, naturalized civilian staff, and cadres live here. Each floor is equipped with a large bathroom. Part of the ground floor is the canteen and kitchen, and part is the weapons depot. The west side is also four floors, and the first and second floors are warehouses.

There are clinics and inpatient departments on the third floor, and dormitories on the fourth floor. To the north are auxiliary rooms, including boiler rooms, pump rooms and wind power plants. There are also temporary detention centers and various warehouses - including on the ground floor.

's garage.

The commercial station has not yet been completely completed, but the four corner towers, the main entrance building on the south and the bell tower have been completed. Although the bell tower is found in many buildings designed for high heights, so far, no big clock has been built.

——It’s not that it can’t be manufactured, but the Planning Institute feels that there is no urgent need for this thing, so we might as well wait until the supply of raw materials becomes more abundant.

At the foot of the main city, roads have been laid according to the model used to build Dongmen City. Now the commercial hall and customs are being built. There are piles of yellow sand, buckets of cement and stones of different sizes everywhere. There is a constant stream of workers.

Everyone was busy. Work chants and the whirring sound of steam rollers mingled together.

The labor force used were personnel from the purification camps established locally. Guangdong civilians, officers and soldiers who were captured and voluntarily followed in the Pearl River Estuary Crusade were quarantined here and also served as infrastructure project personnel. Lingao Construction Corporation sent a man named Shi

The elders of Dafu are responsible for all construction projects in the local area. Shi Dafu has a major in industrial and civil construction and has worked in a construction company. He can be regarded as a practical man with theory, theory and experience.

Shi Dafu led a group of people into the main city and invited them to sit down in the conference room. The conference room was located on the bell tower to the south of the commercial station. Then they introduced each other. Among the newly arrived elders, Merlin was here to preside over the construction.

Several reservoir projects on Hong Kong Island are to be rolled out in Hong Kong. According to calculations by the Planning Institute, it is planned to complete the water storage capacity of 2 million cubic meters in 1631-1632. By 1633, the total storage capacity will be 7.7 million cubic meters.

.This can effectively supply the needs of industrial and agricultural production on Hong Kong Island.

"Most of Hong Kong's reservoirs are built using existing terrain in the mountains, and the amount of earthwork is limited." Mei Lin brought a complete set of Hong Kong hydrological data from the old time and space provided by the Grand Library, "However, the cost is still very high."

Under the premise that the whole of Guangzhou will be occupied after the end of the Second Five-Year Plan, the Planning Institute believes that the excessive capital investment in Hong Kong is not worthwhile. Therefore, the entire industrial and agricultural scale of Hong Kong is restricted to a small size. The future plans for Hong Kong Island and outlying islands are being prepared.

The total population of Hong Kong: the population living there for more than 30 days, including the garrison, workers, settlement personnel and people awaiting decontamination, does not exceed 30,000.
