Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 244 Major Adjustment

At the end of May, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng boarded the Jinglei and returned to Beihai Town.At this time, the diesel in the oil workshop had already filled a large tank of forty cubic meters.It seems to be a lot, but this little fuel is not to mention the [-]-ton Jinglei, even the Thor is only enough to run for a day.

On the way back to Beihai Town by boat, Zhao Xin discussed the current predicament carefully with Liu Sheng and Deng Fei.Beihai Town is currently caught in a chicken-and-egg problem.

The first is Bitter Leaf Island, one is oil and the other is coal.And coal is simply to support oil production.

The second is Ezo Land. In addition to supporting coal in Beihai Town, there is also the vast land of Pingyuan Town that can house a large number of people and carry out large-scale agricultural production.

The third is the trade with Sendai Fan and the trade with Jiangnan.Especially the former is directly related to Zhao Xin's overall plan for the island nation.

When Zhao Xin finished speaking, Deng Fei added another fire.

"The temporary camp in the south of Jeju Island is now too large, with more than 2 people. We must solve this problem as soon as possible. First, the food there can only guarantee [-]% of the supply. Second, North Korean officials have sent troops to try to drive them away. , but was intimidated by the number of refugees. I think this matter is definitely not over."

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 have to work hard these days. When you return to Beihai Town, take a battalion away and bring back all the refugees from Jeju Island. On the civil affairs side, I will discuss with Lao Chen and see how to do it." Adjustment, the division of labor should be as detailed as possible, and we can no longer grasp everything at once.”

Next, he said to Liu Sheng: "The army needs to make major adjustments, and the first thing is to expand the scale. I think it should be expanded to at least 1 people. You go back and discuss with Wang Yuanfang and the others first, and see how you can make the most of the recruits after they arrive. Quickly form combat effectiveness. In addition, the scale of the army has expanded, and 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 the furnace for retraining, you guys come up with a way. As mentioned above, three days, no, After five days, come up with a written document, and all of you military chiefs will have to sign and review it."

Liu Sheng and Deng Fei looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"After Thor has finished cleaning the bottom of the ship and launched it, I will be temporarily responsible for the work of Manqing. Both of you are sailors. Let's see who can be promoted among our existing people. Deng Fei will always run alone. Sooner or later Get tired and get down."

Deng Fei suddenly said: "I think it's better to let Ding Guofeng do it, he has mentioned it to me several times in private."

"Is he okay?" Zhao Xin was a little skeptical.

"You removed the word 'do', he can do it!" Deng Fei smiled. "From the modification of the Thor to the modification of the Jinglei, do you think that Guofeng is cooking as a cook? He has learned a lot from me. At least he has no problems with the correct use and daily maintenance of the driving equipment and steering instruments. "

Liu Sheng smiled at Zhao Xin: "Actually, you don't know, this kid has spent more than a year learning a lot of knowledge about engines by himself."

Zhao Xin said in surprise: "He still has such thoughts? That's fine, let him go to sea with Deng Fei this time, it can be regarded as an internship training. After the Thunder God is launched, Lao Liu, you can take him for a while."

A day later, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng returned to Beihai Town, and immediately started to spin around respectively.

That night, Zhao Xin went to Chen Qingsong's dormitory, and the two of them chatted all night.The next morning, Zhao Xin, who had slept for three hours, stared at panda eyes, and talked with Zhao Liang, Fang Hua, Hong Tao and his wife, Liu Zheng, Shen Jingdan, Zhao Pingtai (Pingtai) and others.After he talked with these people, he discussed with Chen Qingsong for another 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 get down on the ground.Two days later, the panda-eyed Chen Qingsong handed over a civil affairs adjustment plan.

The entire Ministry of Civil Affairs has changed from a one-handed management to a separate management. Chen Qingsong is still in charge, but the division of labor below has begun to be refined.Under Civil Affairs, seven departments will be established, including agriculture, transportation, industry, trade, medical care, publicity and education, and ethnic groups.

The agricultural sector is divided into planting and animal husbandry, all of which are in charge of Chen Qingsong.Since Liu Zheng is going to be the head of the Guangzhou Trade Office, he will hand over the animal husbandry to Yalha.

The transportation department is currently mainly responsible for road construction, mainly including roads from Beihai Town to Fuldan City, from Fuldan City to the Mongolian Military Station through Jurgen City, and from the Oha Camp to the coal mines in the west on Bitter Leaf Island.This part is assigned to Wan Zao and Zhao Maozhu (Maosuke) respectively.

The industrial sector is more complicated. It is divided into six sub-sectors: chemical industry, petroleum, coal, steel, cigarettes, and military manufacturing. Among them, military manufacturing is closely related to the army.Zhao Liang is in charge of the entire industrial department, and he is also in charge of the two sub-sectors of steel and military manufacturing; Mr. Fang Huafang is not interested in managing the entire industrial department, so he only manages a chemical industry.In addition to making all kinds of gunpowder and explosives, he will also be in charge of the entire small-scale synthetic ammonia project; oil must be Zhang Bo, but now coal is closely related to oil production, and he is also the head of the coal department; cigarettes are light industrial products. Li Ji's wife Shino is in charge.

The trade department is divided into two parts, one is the trade between the island countries and the Ezo land, and Zhao Pingtai (Pingtai) is in charge of this part; as for the Qing Dynasty, after Chen Qingsong suggested, Zhao Xin finally nodded in agreement.Shen Jingdan Boss Shen finally stood out and entered the government affairs system of Beihai Town that he had been dreaming of.This bold and careful Boss Shen, Zhao Xin's future father-in-law, will be responsible for the trade work with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and build a trade network.

Hong Tao and his wife are still in charge of the medical department, which governs Beihai Town Central Hospital, Fuldan City Medical Center (currently a clinic), Oha Hospital, and Pingyuan Town Medical Center. At the same time, Dr. Hong himself will be in charge of 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 medicine pills and decoctions jointly developed by the Wu brothers.

In the publicity and education department, the eight members of the education department are still responsible for the basic education of the next generation in Beihai Town.Given that these people are not young, Zhao Xin does not intend to let them take care of other things.As for the promotion, Chen Qingsong decided to promote it in Beihai Town and Fuldan City because he heard that the radio station in the captive camp in Fuldan City was doing well.The method is still the form of high-pitched loudspeakers and village radio stations; as for the announcers, they are selected from among the refugees for training.

The matter of nationality is complicated.From the outside, it is not only necessary to unite the border residents in the outer northeast, but also the islanders, Ainu, and even the Manchus in the outer northeast; Integration of current residents and future minority frontier residents.Since everyone has always believed that Zhao Xin knows the history of Northeast China best and is the most slick, this position must belong to him.

After the draft adjustment plan was reviewed by Zhao Xin, it was distributed to the heads and quasi-heads of each department for discussion.A week later, the civil affairs department held a general meeting.At the meeting, Zhao Xin protested that he was forced to be in charge of ethnic affairs, but everyone decided that the objection was invalid and ignored.The final draft was passed unanimously.

Among the newly promoted people, 19-year-old Zhi Nai was one of the first two people to follow Zhao Xin. He took office under the envious eyes of countless people and became the director of the cigarette factory.

As for Wanzao and Mosuke, because they spent most of the past two years either learning how to drive a tractor in the agricultural machinery, or leading workers to build roads and do projects, their promotions were taken for granted by everyone.

Shen Jingdan Boss Shen was so full of ambition at this moment that he even hummed a little tune at the dinner table when he got home.His first plan when he took office was to return to Yangzhou and move the entire Shen family to Beihai Town to ensure the safety of the whole family.At the same time, he will also promote capable talents among the Shen family's children, and assist him in establishing trade channels in the entire 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 army system of Beihai Town will be expanded from 5000 to 4000, and the public security police system will be expanded from 300 to 500.

In the army system, the existing five battalions are upgraded to five regiments, and the framework of division-level troops is established.In addition to the 200-person division, it has five infantry regiments, one artillery battalion, one marine corps (battalion-level organization), and an engineering battalion, communication company, reconnaissance company and other support units.

The approved number of each infantry regiment is 200, [-] people, with a total of three battalions, plus regiment guard company, engineer company, and communication company.Each battalion company is organized according to the three-three system.

The artillery battalion has 1000 people, and there are three artillery companies under it, and the artillery is 30 D18 howitzers; the marine corps has 1000 people, and it has two battalions, two artillery companies, engineering companies, and communication companies; the reconnaissance company is based on the Seldan team. Expansion, expanded from two squads to one company; the support team has a temporary number of 2000 people, mainly for daily warehouse management, logistics, transportation, medical treatment, equipment repair and maintenance, and corresponds to the navy and army.

When it comes to conscription, the conscription work will be carried out by sending people from the division headquarters and cooperating with the security police, and will be carried out in the form of group propaganda in each residential area.During the training, elite soldiers will be drawn from each battalion to form a recruit teaching brigade for training.In addition, all officers above the platoon will return to the furnace for training in batches, and 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.Because Zhao Liang is now in charge of industrial projects most of the time, and he is not interested in fighting, he decided not to serve in the army.Wang Yuanfang, Ding Guofeng, Wu Siyu, and Deng Fei became the four King Kongs of the military system. Among them, Deng Fei and Ding Guofeng were in charge of maritime operations and led the Marine Corps to cooperate; Wang Yuanfang and Wu Siyu would be in charge of the training of the whole army.

The police system is divided into three parts: security police, internal guards and intelligence system.The size of the public security police has been expanded to 800 people, responsible for household registration and public security management in Beihai Town, Fuldan City, Pingyuan Town, and Aoha Camp; the internal security system is responsible for the security of the heads of various departments; the intelligence system includes the existing The monitoring station and the two major intelligence systems are responsible for the existing monitoring systems of the Qing Dynasty, the island country, and Beihai Town.

The part of the public security police is still in charge of Katayama Kanbingwei (Katayama Kanbingwei), and the jealous Katayama police officer was promoted to Katayama Director.

Zhao Xin is in charge of the intelligence system.In addition to a small number of original personnel in this area, some personnel from the civil affairs and trade department will also serve as intelligence personnel.Pingtai, as the person in charge of the trade with the island country, is also the deputy of the intelligence department, in charge of the intelligence strategy for the island country; Xu Dayong and Wang Changsheng will be in charge of the intelligence work for the Qing Dynasty, with the Huaihe River as the dividing line for the time being, one south and one north .Lu Shoushan will be transferred back to the military system.

As soon as the army's adjustment plan came out, especially when the news that even the officers above the ranks would be retrained in batches reached the army, officers at all levels wailed!Let's fight with guns. Many people in the last literacy class can carry it.But if you have to pick up a pen and paper to learn mathematics, geometry, and politics, it's going to kill you!

"Damn it? It's right to kill me! This stupid Liu, let me do the task of compiling political textbooks. I'm busy enough, so I'll find something for me!" Zhao Xin complained while scribbling on the table. constantly.

Throughout June, Deng Fei took Ding Guofeng and drove the Jinglei to and fro between the southern part of Jeju Island and Beihai Town, bringing more than 3 domestic refugees to Beihai Town.This time the refugees came from not only Henan and Shandong, but also refugees from southern Zhili, northern Hubei, and northern Jiangsu.Based on an average of 3 to 4 people per household, there are nearly [-] families in total.

In order to open up the road from Beihai Town to Fuldan City as soon as possible, these refugees were basically sent to the road construction army as soon as the population registration was completed by the public security police a few days after disembarking.The treatment was the same as that of the previous refugees. These people basically ate cornmeal for three meals a day, and white noodles once a week. Their monthly wages were five silver coins.

Different from those who came in batches before, a large number of people were thrown into the construction site without brainwashing education, which put enormous pressure on Beihai Town's public health system.The security police and the person in charge of the construction site will deal with those guys who "fertilize" the green mountains and rivers everywhere every day, and it is hard to guard against.

Faced with these sunken-eyed, skinny people, Chen Qingsong finally gritted his teeth and made a rule that anyone who dares not go to the designated place to "fertilize" will stop the distribution of rations for two days.

The sound of rumbling mountains and rock blasting continued to resound in the valley. With the extensive use of ammonium nitrate explosives, the originally peaceful and peaceful east bank of the Fuljaha River has completely changed its appearance.More than a dozen hills were gradually flattened, stretches of primeval forests were cut down, and a large amount of gravel obtained from the blasting was processed and used as road paving materials.

With the increasing population, the road construction progress of the north and south roads has been steadily increasing. Chen Qingsong expects to be fully connected by mid-July; by mid-August, it will be no problem for two cars to run side by side on the entire road.

By the end of June, more than 2000 new recruits had begun intensive training.In order to ensure the nutrition of the recruits, although a group of recruits from Henan and Shandong are drilled to death by the teaching team every day, what they can eat is full of oil.

The days passed like this.At the beginning of July, Beihai Town entered the rainy season, and Chen Qingsong took the manpower to inspect the farmland every day, making preparations for the autumn harvest.

Zhao Xin is 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 visited, which delayed the departure time of Thor for two days.

The people who came were several North Korean businessmen, and they came by boat.
