At the end of May, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng boarded the Thunder and returned to Beihai Town. At this time, a large 40-cubic tank was filled with diesel in the oil workshop. It seems like a lot, but this amount of oil is only enough to run for one day, let alone the 60,000-ton Thunder.
On the way back to Beihai Town by boat, Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng, and Deng Fei discussed the current predicament 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 used 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 the 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 feel that this matter is 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 human problems first. He first said to Deng Fei: "You should work harder these days. After returning to Beihai Town, take a battalion and bring back all the refugees on Jeju Island first. On the civil affairs side, I will discuss with Lao Chen and see what we can do." Adjustments should be made and 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. 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." 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 one 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 all of 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’re 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."
"Is he okay?" 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 daily 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 with panda eyes and talked to 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 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, who had panda eyes, handed over a civil affairs adjustment plan.
The entire Ministry of Civil Affairs has changed from being in charge of one person to one in charge of each department. Chen Qingsong is still in charge, but the division of labor below has begun to be refined. Seven departments including agriculture, transportation, industry, trade, medical care, publicity and education, and ethnic groups will be established under the civil affairs department.
The agricultural department is divided into two parts: 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 livestock aspect 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 to various coal mines in the west on Kuye Island. This part was left to Wan Zao and Zhao Maosuke (Maosuke) respectively.
The industrial sector is more complicated. It is divided into six sub-sectors including chemical industry, petroleum, coal, steel, cigarettes, and military manufacturing. Military manufacturing is also closely related to the military. Zhao Liang was in charge of the entire Ministry of Industry, and he was also responsible for the two sub-departments of steel and military manufacturing. Teacher Fang Huafang was not interested in managing the entire Ministry of Industry, so he only took charge of the chemical industry. In addition to manufacturing various gunpowder and explosives, he will also be responsible for 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, 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 Jingdan Shen finally stood out and entered the Beihai Town government affairs 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 publicity and education department, eight people from the education department are still responsible for the basic education of the next generation in Beihai Town. Since these people are quite old, Zhao Xin does not intend to let them take care of anything else. As for publicity, it was mainly because Chen Qingsong heard that the radio station in Fuldan City Prisoner Camp was doing well, so he decided to promote it within Beihai Town and Fuldan City. The method is to use loudspeakers and village radio stations; as for the announcers, they are selected from the refugees for training.
Ethnicity is a complicated matter. 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 integration of Han people and naturalized people from the island countries, and the Beihai Town Integration of existing residents and future minority border residents. Since everyone has always believed that Zhao Xin knows the most about the history of Northeast China and is the most slippery, he must be the one to hold this position.
After Zhao Xin reviewed the draft 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 against being forced to take charge of ethnic affairs, but everyone decided that the objection was invalid and ignored. The final draft was adopted unanimously.
Among the newly promoted people, 19-year-old Zhinai was one of the first two people to follow Zhao Xin. He took office as the director of the cigarette factory amidst the envy and jealousy of countless people.
Wan Zao and Shiosuke 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 Jing Dan Shen 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 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 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 also completed the draft of the army's expansion plan. In his plan, the Beihai Town military system will be expanded from 5,000 to 14,000 people, and the public security 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 build the framework of a division-level force. In addition to the 200-person division headquarters, it has five infantry regiments, one artillery battalion, one Marine Corps (battalion-level organization), as well as engineering battalions, communications companies, reconnaissance companies and other support units.
Each infantry regiment has an authorized strength of 1,200 people, with a total of three battalions, plus regiment guard company, engineer company, and communications company. Each battalion and company is organized according to the three-three system.
The artillery battalion consists of one thousand people, with three artillery companies and 18 D30 howitzers; the Marine Corps has one thousand men, with two battalions, two artillery companies, engineer companies, and communications companies; the reconnaissance company is in the Serdan team Based on the basic expansion, it has been expanded from two squads to one company; the support team has a temporary number of 3,000 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. The training will draw elite soldiers from each battalion to form a recruit training brigade for training. In addition, all officers above the platoon 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. Because Zhao Liang now spends most of his time in charge of industrial projects and his interest is not in fighting, he decided not to hold a military position. Wang Yuanfang, Ding Guofeng, Wu Siyu and Deng Fei have become the four kings of the military system. Among them, Deng Fei and Ding Guofeng are responsible for maritime operations and lead the Marine Corps to cooperate; Wang Yuanfang and Wu Siyu will be in charge of the training of the entire army.
The police system is divided into three parts: public security police, internal security and intelligence system. The size of the security police has been expanded to 800, 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 safety and security of heads of various departments; the intelligence system includes current There are monitoring stations and two major intelligence systems, respectively responsible for the existing monitoring systems in Manchuria, island countries, and Beihai Town.
The security police department is still in charge of Katabei (Katama Kanbei), and the jealous police officer Katayama was promoted to Chief Katayama.
Zhao Xin is in charge of the intelligence system. In addition to a small number of the original personnel, some personnel from the Civil Affairs and Trade Port will also serve as intelligence personnel. Pingtai, as the person in charge of trade with the island country, and as the deputy of the intelligence department, is in charge of the intelligence strategy for the island country; Xu Dayong and Wang Changsheng will be responsible for the intelligence work against the Manchu Qing Dynasty. 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 wailed! Even if we are asked to use guns to fight, many people in the literacy class can handle it. 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 continuously between southern Jeju Island and Beihai Town, bringing more than 30,000 domestic refugees to Beihai Town. This time the refugees come from not only Henan and Shandong, but also from southern Zhili, northern Hubei and northern Jiangsu. Based on an average of 3 to 4 people per household, there are nearly 10,000 households 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. The treatment for these people is the same as that of the previous refugees. These people basically eat cornmeal three times a day and white flour once a week. Their monthly salary is five yuan of silver coins.
Unlike 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 great pressure on the public health system of Beihai Town. The security police and the person in charge of the construction site deal with those people who "fertilize" the green mountains and waters every day, and it is difficult to prevent them.
Facing these sunken-eyed and skinny people, 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 Furjaha River has completely changed. More than a dozen hills were gradually flattened by bombing, and a large amount of virgin forest was cut down. A large amount of gravel obtained from the mountain bombing was processed and turned into paving materials.
As the population grows, the road construction progress of 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 2,000 new soldiers had begun intense training. In order to ensure the nutrition of the recruits, although the recruits from Henan and Shandong were drilled to death by the training team every day, their mouths were 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 to prepare for the autumn harvest.
Zhao Xin was also preparing to go south again at this time to complete his meeting with Liu Quan on Flower and Bird Island. At this moment, several unexpected visitors suddenly arrived, which delayed the Thor's departure by two days.
The visitors were several Korean businessmen, and they came by boat.
