The long winter in Vladivostok is finally over, but spring in the Outer Northeast is far less poetic than one might think. The snow, which had been hoarded for a whole winter, gradually melted, and the ground became muddy. Every night, there is still a biting cold wind, which makes people shiver.

Loaded with supplies, the offshore steam deck barges sailed upriver from the estuary to the south of the Yipin River, all the way through Shuangchengzi, and then northwest to Suping Jiangwei, which later became the Suifen River.

It has now become a huge construction site, and the south bank of the shirt river is full of busy people, all kinds of construction machinery and vehicles roaring. Dozens of deck barges lined up in a long line, one after another docked at the pier on the south bank of the shirt river. Laborers in khaki overalls unload the ship's supplies ashore, and then push two-wheeled carts to transport the supplies to the nearby farm carts, which roar abruptly and carry the supplies to various construction sites in the town along the river.

Last winter, the Central Military Commission submitted the Pingliao military plan to the board committee for deliberation. After some fierce debate among the members of the Standing Committee, although the Tongguò was finally obtained, some changes were made to the Pingliao military plan.

Many members of the Standing Committee questioned the CMC's decision to locate Ningguta as the location of the Eastern Theater Command, and everyone tended to set up the Eastern Theater Command in the north, Puerhewei, which was later known as the Mudanjiang River, where the geographical location was relatively better.

Everyone is very supportive of opening up the waterways of the Huerha River, the Songhua River and the Gray Pao River. There were many members of the committee to develop the Jianluwei area where the Huerha River and the Songhua River meet, which was later known as Harbin. In the west is the vast and rich Songnen Plain, as well as the Daqing Oilfield in later generations.

If this waterway is opened, how to transport supplies to Puerhewei along the Huerha River. This is especially important. This waterway is not only of military significance, but also an important passage for the company to go to the Northeast Plain in the future.

After the study and decision of the board of directors, the waterway of the Yipin River was first opened, and the Guò waterway was directly connected to Suping Jiangwei. There is a lot of development and construction there. Then use this pen to www.biquge.info and build a road directly to Puerhewei.

The company decided to change the name of Suping Jiangwei to Yanhe Town, Puerhewei to Mudanjiang Town, the company also established the Yanhe Town Government and Mudanjiang Town Government, and set up the Western Development Zone Management Committee to develop and construct the area where the two new towns are located.

Strive for it at the end of 1632. Completed the development and construction of two new towns. A shipyard was built in Mudanjiang Town, and a road was built from the town along the river to the town of Mudanjiang. The railway team also came up with a narrow-gauge railway plan from Shuangchengzi Town to Mudanjiang Town, which is expected to be about 220 kilometers in length, in order to save costs and speed up construction. The railway track adopts a narrow-gauge railway, with a gauge of 1000 mm "meter gauge".

The reason why the company's railway department adopts the narrow gauge railway is because of the company's current situation, there are still certain difficulties in the development of standard gauge, and the narrow gauge railway can fully meet the capacity of this era.

Narrow-gauge railways have low laying costs, small radius of curvature, light weight of carriages, and locomotive power does not need to be too large. It can be used for advantages such as large route slopes. Moreover, the Power Research Office of the Science and Technology Commission began to develop light steam locomotives from the arrival in Vladivostok, and now the first light steam locomotive has been successfully developed, and the supporting rails, carriages, and turnouts have also been successfully developed. The Bac Ninh Iron and Steel Complex has finally received its first orders. It's the rails of the railway.

Last year, the Railway Department has laid a section of track in Bac Ninh Town for implementation, and all the light steam locomotives have met the design requirements. Originally, the railway between Bac Ninh Town and Shuangcheng Town would be built this year, but due to the company's waterway plan to open up the Huerha River, Songhua River and Gray Pai River, the Railway Department also changed the plan and decided to build a railway from Shuangcheng Town to Mudanjiang Town.

In order to ensure that the Pingliao military plan will be carried out as scheduled next year, the Railway Department decided to lay the section between Yanhe Town and Mudanjiang Town first. Strive to complete the project before the winter, and make every effort to ensure the transportation of materials between the two places.

Fortunately, the company counts jù curry. The information of railways in various places in modern society is very detailed, including the railway information between Suifenhe and Mudanjiang. The railway department only needs to follow the route of the railway in modern society. A field trip is all you need.

Hu Wei jumped off a deck barge, took the heavy backpack from the laborers on board, nodded and smiled at them, and then picked up the backpack and walked to the construction site in the distant town along the river.

Originally a village, Riverside has become a huge construction site. In less than a month, there was already the outline of a small town. Stepping on the muddy road, he came to a assembly room in the center of the town, which is the company's newly established town government along the river, and he was already exhausted and out of breath with dozens of pounds of backpacks on his back.

Hu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and walked in.

After more than a year of construction, Bac Ninh town has begun to take shape, Bac Ninh Port, Bac Ninh highway network and other infrastructure have been basically completed, and the remaining work is the large-scale construction of Bac Ninh coal mine and Bac Ninh iron and steel complex, as well as thermal power plants and other supporting projects. The workaholic, who had been busy there for more than a year, was also idle. So Hu Wei asked Ying again and took the initiative to come to the Management Committee of the Western Development Zone and serve as the director of the Management Committee.

As soon as Hu Wei walked into the town hall of Yanhe Town, he saw a person walking out head-on. He saw Hu Wei with a face full of surprise, "Director Hu, you ...... Why didn't you send a telegram before you came, so I could arrange for someone to pick you up. ”

He took the initiative to take Hu Wei's backpack and led Hu Wei into the town government. This person's name is Liu Chuanxiang, and he is the mayor of Yanhe Town, and he has been here for almost two months.

When the two entered the town government, Liu Chuanxiang summoned all the staff of the town government to welcome Hu Wei, the new director of the management committee of the Western Development Zone. The town government of Yanhe Town now has only a dozen employees of the company, and there are more than 100 engineering and technical personnel from various departments of the company.

Hu Wei just briefly talked to everyone and asked everyone to go back to work. He and Liu Chuanxiang came to the mayor's office, took the tea handed over by the other party, and said with a smile: "I just looked here and the work is progressing very quickly. I still have some work to hand over in Bac Ninh Town, so I came here a little late, and it's been a hard time for everyone. ”

Liu Chuanxiang said with a smile: "Actually, the work here has just begun, you came at the right time, the company in order to ensure the infrastructure of the development zone, transported a large number of construction machinery and materials, our main work along the river town, is responsible for the storage and transportation of these materials and the logistics of site personnel, as well as the coordination of the work arrangements of each construction site." More than 100,000 Japanese, North Korean and Luzon laborers have been transported to the site of the road and railway between Yanhe Town and Mudanjiang Town.

It is said that 100,000 laborers will soon be shipped from Japan and Luzon, all of whom will be engaged in the construction of the railway site. The laborers worked 12 hours a day and had to complete a required amount of work each day. Hehe...... The foreman in charge of them was the first Japanese laborer of the company, and these little devils were ruthless, so the project progressed quite quickly.

In addition, there are more than 50,000 regular workers in various departments of the company in Yanhe Town and Mudanjiang Town, engaged in the construction of various infrastructures. However, because the road has not yet been built, the progress in Mudanjiang Town is relatively slow. The company sent an engineer battalion from the Military Commission to open an improvised road with military engineering vehicles, and every day it had to rely on convoys of trucks and agricultural vehicles to deliver supplies there. ”

Hu Wei listened to Liu Chuanxiang's introduction, frowned and said, "Where is the office of the management committee?" The other directors have arrived, right? ”

Liu Chuanxiang nodded and said: "Although the Management Committee of the Western Development Zone is located in Yanhe Town, the reason why I didn't take you there is because there is never anyone in the office, and several deputy directors can't see anyone at all. Li Da, director of the railway department, eats and lives at the construction site every day. Ren Chaoxin, deputy director of the Construction Committee, is even more nowhere to be found, the Construction Committee has the most construction sites in the two towns, and we don't know where to look for him every day. Gao Qiang of the Military Commission is now staying in the garrison area of Mudanjiang Town.

Now our Yanhe town government is like the management committee of the development zone, and there is a big and small matter on the construction site to deal with us. It's good that you're here, we also have the backbone, or we can't decide on a lot of general directions. ”

Hu Wei smiled and said: "Okay, you still have to take care of the work of the management committee for a few days, I don't know the situation here, I have to go down for a few days first." I'll go to Mudanjiang Town first to have a look, there is a truck to go there, I'll take a ride there now, you get there, let Gao Qiang arrange a communication soldier to follow me, and report to me at any time if there is anything in the management committee. ”

Liu Chuanxiang immediately said: "There is a convoy here every day to Mudanjiang Town, and there will be a convoy to go over after a while, but they are all agricultural vehicles, and this road is not comfortable." ”

Hu Weiyi waved his hand and said, "I still have less to sit in Beining Town, hurry up and arrange it." ”

Liu Chuanxiang nodded, turned around and led Hu Wei out of the house. They came to a leveled clearing next to the town, where dozens of farm vehicles had gathered, each loaded with various supplies. There is also a garrison platoon, which is responsible for the security of the convoy.

"Director, you just go with this convoy, there are some dry food and water in this bag, this road is not very easy to walk, you take it to eat on the road." By the way, Director, do you need me to arrange someone to follow you? “

Hu Wei laughed and said: "No, each of you is now called by several people, you still don't send people, I can do it by myself, and I am not a big bureaucrat, haha...... You go get busy. ”

Hu Wei got into the co-pilot position of a farm truck, and with a sudden roar, dozens of farm vehicles left Yanhe Town in turn and drove towards the Mudanjiang River in the west. (To be continued)
