Standing at the gate of the agricultural machinery station was a dark-skinned strong man, wearing a rattan safety helmet, a towel hanging around his neck, and work clothes that had been washed and turned white with grease. He had a military belt around his waist, except for a pistol. In addition, there are many scattered tools. 【Read the latest chapter】
This person is none other than "Director of Armored Forces" Bai Yu. The title of Director Bai is not a self-appointed title, but an official position within the General Staff. However, he has not done anything related to armored troops since D-Day. He spent most of his time serving the Committee of Agriculture and the Construction Corporation, specializing in training tractor operators and performing construction machinery tasks. Therefore, at the same time, he is also the captain of the "First Marine Mobile Reclamation Wing", the station director of the "Lingao County Agricultural Machinery Station" and the captain of the "Agricultural Machinery Corps directly under the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Committee".
"Old Chang, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Bai Yu was very enthusiastic about Chang Shide. He felt that Lao Chang was a "true-hearted" man. Although the two sides had no overlapping interests, he still met Chang Shide and him at the annual meeting. After exchanging pleasantries and talking about women, the mission to Qiongshan was brought up.
According to the order, the Maritime Mobile Wing will be transferred to Qiongshan to cooperate with the restoration of agricultural production in Qiongshan and then develop the planned intensive farm.
Although the name of the First Marine Reclamation Mobile Regiment is so grand, its essence is that in the Central Plains of old time and space, it is common to stick a sickle in the waist during the summer harvest, and sleep on the train to harvest wheat for others. In standardized language, it is "seasonal agricultural migrant part-time workers."
"You have a lot of big guys in your hands." Although Chang Shide was used to seeing all kinds of large agricultural machinery at agricultural machinery stations when he was at the Tiandi Club, he was still quite shocked when he saw so many big guys gathering together. .
"One was scrapped just last week, three were overhauled, and twelve were repaired and maintained daily." Bai Yu treasures his family's assets - not only here, but also all the equipment of the Agricultural Committee's direct-administered corps that use old space-time equipment. He is also very clear about the situation.
"Another one was scrapped, and the boiler exploded?" Chang Shide had personally seen the boiler of a steam tractor explode, and the driver was blown dozens of meters away on the spot.
Bai Yu nodded: "Two boilers exploded. One was so damaged that it had to be scrapped. Someone from the Machinery General Factory came to see the other one and said it could be repaired by replacing the boiler."
Chang Shide said: "It's scary to hear. You are just risking your life here."
"Why not? The boiler is much better now than before. Zhou Billy's skills are getting better and better, and his disciples have also mastered it." Bai Yu said, "But the safety of the steam tractor itself is not high."
"Is there any problem with transporting it to Qiongshan?"
"No problem, shipping is very safe. It's just that loading and unloading is troublesome. But this kind of steam engine-powered thing is not as convenient to use." It took Bai Yu a long time to adapt to the "slowness" of steam engine power. The manipulator had to wait a few days before departure. Start the fire at an hour so that the equipment can be started on time.
There are very few ships that can transport such heavy equipment, and the use of the fleet also requires a large amount of parts, power coal and supporting equipment. The boiler requires special water, so special boiler water treatment equipment must be transported. Therefore, the entire regiment has to be transported in several batches.
In the agricultural machinery station, workers of the Committee of Agriculture wearing army uniforms but with "Agriculture" badges on their armbands were busy. Some were disassembling parts, some were packaging and bundling vulnerable parts, and some were emptying boilers. water to clean the ashes from the furnace. There are also Army-issue backpacks and military blankets that are transporting the workers' luggage.
The 1st Maritime Mobile Wing is well-equipped. In addition to professional equipment, it also has mobile field cooking trucks and water purification equipment equipped only by the military. The workers are not only skilled in movements, but also appear to be well-trained. The whole scene is busy and not chaotic, very military. spirit.
"You're not an agricultural machinery station, you're basically an armored division." Chang Shide complimented.
Bai Yu smiled well deservedly: "The day we develop tanks, they will be the seeds of the armored division."
Although the manufacturing of tanks and armored vehicles was not included in the planning institute's plan, Bai Yu still worked hard to cultivate the "seeds of armored forces." Not only do agricultural machinery operators receive corresponding training, but they also engage in infantry-tank coordination with infantry from time to time. Dongmen Chuiyu and Wu Nanhai were also quite supportive: in their vision, the agricultural reclamation was originally a team of armed farmers, and would be the vanguard of armed colonization in the future. Adding more militaristic colors will play a certain role in developing combat effectiveness.
"I have already discussed the shipping plan with the Joint Logistics Headquarters," Bai Yu asked him to go to his office. "The date has also been arranged. The advance team will leave early the day after tomorrow. What do you think, do you go with the ship or go with the large group of people? Let’s go together?” Bai Yu asked.
"Of course I will go with the large group of people." Chang Shide shook his fan, "I have to wait for the veterans in agricultural technology to go together."
After some discussion in the Agricultural Committee, Wan Lihui finally led a "post-disaster harvesting and planting working group" and Chang Shide to Qiongshan. Wan Lihui's mission was to help local farmers harvest and plant and restore production.
Wan Lihui stood on the dock and monitored the loading of "disaster relief materials" from the Committee of Agriculture. The so-called disaster relief materials were not food, clothes, blankets, or tents, but grain seeds, special fertilizers, and pesticides. The grain seeds brought were mainly fast-growing and high-yielding sweet potato seedlings, as well as many corn, buckwheat and leguminous seeds, which were quickly replanted using the gaps after the water receded. No matter how many disagreements there are about land and agricultural policies, real food is the most important thing.
Wan Lihuang stood beside him, paying attention to the various agricultural supplies being loaded onto the ship. This time, Ye Yuming originally wanted to send him there because after all, Wan Lihui's position was inseparable from people. But in the end, Wan Lihui felt that his brother was still a little too young and had not done many overseas assignments in Lingao. I was afraid that it would be unsafe to go to the new area rashly, so I proposed to take action myself.
"After I leave, you have to pay more attention to the breeding farm and the experimental field. Everything will be left to you, so don't cause any trouble." Wan Lihui paid him serious attention. To be honest, he was equally worried about his brother taking charge of all this alone. Earthworms and maggots are currently the main sources of protein feed in the feed mill of the Committee of Agriculture, and the farm also provides a large amount of cooked fertilizer. If something goes wrong in the lottery, it will be a major liability accident.
"Don't worry, brother. I can handle this matter." Wan Lihuang said dissatisfied, "Besides, the group of naturalized people under his command also did a good job..." When he said this, he remembered something again, "Brother , when can we go to Japan for target shooting..."
Wan Lihui is very reluctant to answer this question, because it seems that the possibility of casual target shooting in Japan is getting smaller and smaller. Especially recently, the Senate organized a business delegation to Japan, and actually chose a senator who claimed to be from the "Taira" family to be the leader. Of course, Wan Lihui has nothing to say except complaining. First, he doesn’t understand Japanese. Second, he knows very little about Japan’s social and economic history. Third, his “grand ambition” of shooting targets in Japan is obviously not going to work. Supported by the Senate.
"Why do you ask so many questions? You will always go there in the future anyway. Do the job in front of you first!" Wan Lihui was not happy at first, and some recent events made him not in a high mood. This would directly affect his younger brother. The words were stopped and turned back.
"Tell me, what have you seen?"
This sentence kept appearing in the homes of various wealthy gentry families in Qiongshan County.
It was already two or three days after they returned to Qiongshan that the legitimate sons of various wealthy gentry families finally finished writing their thoughts and experiences and returned home. Each family somewhat understood what Director Liu meant, and then they became more "open". . In addition to having to go to Hai Shuzu to complain about poverty, he was no longer anxious to jump out and oppose anything. Regardless of whether they plan to have "in-depth cooperation" with the Australians, they are eager to learn more about the Australians from the children's mouths.
"Back to my father, I have already inquired about it. Officials in the Australian and Song dynasties do not take the imperial examination. If you want to be an official, you have to learn their new dialect, write vulgar calligraphy, be able to do arithmetic, get those A, B, and C diplomas, and then go to some training, and finally you can Entering an official position. No matter who you are, you must start from a small official position, and practice the system of integrating officials and local staff... However, the Australian officials seem to be biased against me... well, they are biased against the scholars of the Ming Dynasty. , except for Zhang Xingjiao, who was the first to learn from the dragon, I have never seen any other scholar who can become an official."
"So, do you really want to send your younger brothers and sisters to study Australian culture?" This is the dialogue of a family that is unwilling to be lonely. "I think your third wife's child is getting older, so it is useless to stay at home." I spent a lot of money on eating or even sending him to school."
"Dad, that's really awesome! When I went to see that Liu Youren's house, there was land reclamation there, and I saw a big iron bull that was eating coal and making fire, roaring, and a big iron plow that weighed several kilograms. The ground was scratched open, and the soil lumps were turned up and broken into ridges. It is a hundred times more useful than our old plow pulled by oxen!"
"Have you ever asked how much money it costs to rent this big iron ox?" This is the dialogue of a family that focuses on farming.
"The bitches over there really abide by the rules. They are lining up in the pavilion on the roadside with signs...I heard that there is a Ziming Pavilion that is the most advanced villa, but there is no arrangement to visit it. To say that it is the most coquettish Yes, it’s the Australian maids, all of them are slim and fair, and the clothes they wear even cut off their big boobs!”
"You unscrupulous son! You only know these slanderous things! Forget it, there is no need to apologize. Tell me, father, how shameless Australians are? Do you have anything new?" This is Coffee table and cupboard type family dialogue. ! .
