Qingdao is a very important military port, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the Juye Incident occurred, Germany found an excuse to invade China, took the opportunity to send warships into Jiaozhou Bay, and then deterred the Qing government by force, and finally brought Qingdao under the control of the German military.

The Germans operated in Qingdao for many years until the outbreak of World War I, then the Germans lost in World War I, and finally passed into the hands of the Japanese. In order to invade China, the Japanese naturally operated the port in Qingdao more carefully.

So in addition to the original Port Arthur, the military port of Qingdao in northern China is the most prosperous port, but this port has not been controlled by the Chinese, and now the little devil has been beaten away, although the port of Qingdao is somewhat deserted, but still has a very important military value.

Since the Japanese troops along the coast were eliminated or driven away, the local forces have mothballed all port facilities and factories of military value. Of course, such a huge place, without dedicated personnel to manage it in a month, looks like a dilapidated factory, without the slightest popularity.

"Brother Fan, the mayor of Qingdao City and other administrative officials are waiting for you, do you want to meet them first?"

The speed of the train was very slow, and it took them almost three days to get there from Luoyang to Qingdao. Liao Fan has not rested yet, but Du Yuming has already informed the local departments when Liao Fan will arrive at the local train station.

"Since you're here, let's see them first, Huai Yuanliang doesn't have to ban the train station after getting off the train, and don't drive the people, inform them to let them remove all the people welcomed by the organization, otherwise I will investigate them for disturbing people's livelihood!"

Liao Fan casually guessed that the local government personnel would definitely organize the people to welcome Liao Fan to Qingdao under a small flag, and the things he didn't like the most were these formal things, not to mention that they were of no use to the people and to him Liao Fan, and they also delayed the people's time.

Moreover, the purpose of Liao Fan's visit this time was not to inspect the people's situation and local economic development, but to see what the military port they were going to deploy in Qingdao would look like in the future.

"Understood, Brother Fan, I'll send them a telegram to inform them now!"

Liao Fan was always accompanied by telegraph communication personnel, the purpose was to be able to contact Liao Fan in time for important matters, and of course, they could also communicate with the local government departments through this telegraph.

Huai Yuanliang, as Liao Fan's guard captain, naturally has to follow Liao Fan's side at any time, although Liao Fan's approach is a bit risky, but Huai Yuanliang can still handle this matter, in such a complex environment as the railway station, the soldiers of their guard team will not put Liao Fan in a dangerous situation.

The train slowly drove into the train station, and the trains of this era did not have a strict security system, and anyone could enter and exit the train station, but there were not many people who took the train. Although there is no strict security system, there are no buildings around the train station due to the times, so the environment does not look complicated.

Huai Yuanliang, as Liao Fan's guard captain, took the soldiers off the train first, and he had to arrange Liao Fan's protection work, use their experience to identify the surrounding environment, and then arrange his own manpower for the threatening places.

Half an hour later, Huai Yuanliang boarded the train again and told Du Yuming that the area around the railway station was safe.

"Brother Fan, Lao Huai has been arranged, and the mayor of Qingdao City is already waiting on the platform, should we get off the train?" Du Yuming asked Liao Fan.

"Did Lao Huai arrange for someone to book the hotel we stayed in these days?"

"The mayor of Qingdao has arranged for us to live next to the city government!" Du Yuming said.

"No, we are military personnel, although we are all serving the country, but the system is different, we arrange the hotel ourselves, and tell them that we will not see anyone during the military business!"

Liao Fan is not disrespecting the arrangements of the local government departments, but because each department has the functions and responsibilities of each department, if Liao Fan comes once and they arrange it, if Liao Fan wants to live in Qingdao in the future, will they still have to go around Liao Fan every day?

Now the country needs them to be busy, but they are busy with the local people's livelihood and local development, not busy serving and receiving Liao Fan.

"I'll go and let Lao Huai arrange it!"

Du Yuming also had to accompany Liao Fan to meet the local administrative officials in Qingdao, and after getting off the train, the mayor of Qingdao City quickly greeted him and shook hands with Liao Fan.

Liao Fan also shook hands with him with a smile: "This time I came to Qingdao, but it will trouble you!" ”

"No trouble, no trouble, that's what we should do."

"The purpose of my visit to Qingdao this time is to see the port and prepare for the future development of our country's navy.

The construction of the military port is certainly inseparable from the support of various local departments.

"Naturally, in addition to serving the people, we must also serve the army, and the strength of the army is the strength of a country."

"That's a good thing, but I'll tell you the truth, once the military port starts to expand, it's not just about money...... When the time comes, as soon as the matter is settled, a document will be sent to you. ”

Liao Fan naturally had a lot of things to explain to the local mayor, such as the construction of a military port, in order to ensure the secrecy of the army, the military port and the surrounding area must not have any residential buildings, and even set up an air defense zone, the purpose is to ensure the safety of the military port and important secrets will not be stolen by spies.

With the development of science and technology in the future, there will inevitably be more advanced warships in military ports, and hostile countries, including those unfriendly countries, will try by all means to steal secrets inside military ports with advanced technological means, and in order to prevent the leakage of military secrets, in addition to the military must meet the standards of secrecy, it is also necessary for the local government and the people to cooperate.

"I don't interfere in your local politics, and the local economic development also depends on you, every four years, someone will judge the local development, if it doesn't meet our requirements, you know we won't use such people!"

Under Liao Fan's suggestion, China's official system is very cruel, and having the ability does not mean that you can climb up, but if you are not capable, Liao Fan will definitely not continue to keep you in the officialdom.

Competition, all Liao Fan can think of is competition, this is the case in the army, and it is also the same in the officialdom, only a good competition system can make people realize that they are not living in an iron rice bowl now, you can be prosperous for a while, but if your ability does not match the position, Liao Fan can also make you cry for a lifetime.

The new country has just been built, the system is not perfect, and even the local official selection system is not necessarily reasonable, and there is still a backward official system in some remote areas of the country, but step by step, there is always a time when things will be resolved.

"Brother Fan, Chairman Meow and Chairman Jiang have already issued us documents, and we already know this!"

When Liao Fan was busy with military affairs, Chairman Meow and Chairman Jiang were not idle, and their duty was to improve the various systems of the country as soon as possible, from legislation to administration, two people were organizing personnel improvement.

"Then I won't be nosy, and I hope you will cooperate more with our military department in the future!" Liao Fan suddenly felt a little nosy.

"Brother Fan, what you said can be seen outside, the country is the peace brought about by your bloody battle, and we are just people who sit back and enjoy it."

Liao Fan shook his head: "Do it well, Qingdao's status in the country is very important, and it will definitely be the focus of attention here." ”

If Qingdao is really decided to be the first important military port in the north, it is inevitable that they will first vigorously develop Qingdao's economy, because only in this way will they have the ability to engage in the construction of a military port, and they will already have to set up a department in Qingdao for the research and development of warships in the future.

At the invitation of the mayor of Qingdao, Liao Fan took Du Yuming and them to visit the offices of various local departments, obviously their office space is not as gorgeous as imagined, the country is too poor, and Liao Fan also asked the local government to engage in education first, so the natural government does not have much money.

However, the place where they are located is still clean, the country is in ruins, and they also know their duties, Liao Fan's only worry is that life will be better in the future, and it will be easier for people to become comfortable, and at that time, corruption will become endless, and it will be impossible to prevent.

"Brother Fan, Lao Huai has already arranged the hotel!" At the right time, Du Yuming reminded Liao Fan.

"yes, I see!"

The mayor of Qingdao didn't expect that Liao Fan would not live in the room they had booked, but he was very wise not to interfere, he knew that the affairs of the army were not something that he could interfere with as a local official, and what they had to do was to cooperate.

"Tomorrow we will arrange ten trucks, and then a guide, and finally a strict-mouthed guide, where we have been, he can't tell anyone!"

As long as it involves the military, no matter how big or small the matter is, Liao Fan must keep it secret. Everything about the military involves national security, and Liao Fan has done enough dangerous things, and he doesn't want to take any more risks in these small things.

In Qingdao, Liao Fan does not need the accompaniment of these administrative officials, the things they do involve the military, and what the local administrative officials can provide is some logistical matters, even if they can help with other things, but they are not from the army, and Liao Fan will not let them interfere.

Back at the hotel, the entire hotel has been under martial law, Huai Yuanliang has already taken the soldiers to check the guests who have settled here, and they have not found anything abnormal, and they have contracted the entire floor, in addition to Liao Fan to live, the staff who follow Liao Fan and the guards who protect Liao Fan also need to rest.

So contracting a whole floor is not a waste for them, and indeed they need so much, of course, this is also conducive to protecting Liao Fan's safety, after all, the entourage lives together, no one can know which room Liao Fan lives in, and Liao Fan's food, clothing, housing and transportation do not need the participation of hotel personnel, all of which are completed by the guards who follow Liao Fan.
