The members of the Democracy Committee are also under a lot of pressure for these apprentices. The responsible persons of various departments stood guard at the door of their units every day, and even went to their homes at night, constantly harassing them, so that the members of the Nationalities Affairs Committee never tired of it.

In the end, the Ethnic Affairs Committee simply called the heads of various departments together, and everyone fought for several days before the apprentices were allocated.

The chemical department became the biggest winner in this apprenticeship assignment, because the chemical department and the Sakhalin petrochemical base play a pivotal role in the future development of the company, and no one can compete with them. So they were divided into more than three thousand people, and most of these people were going to leave Vladivostok for Sakhalin.

The second winner is the steel mill, although the work of the steel plant is still in preparation, but it is too late to start training apprentices, and there are more or less apprentices in other departments. So they have also been assigned nearly 3,000 apprentices, who will participate in the construction of the steel plant while studying, and they will also become the first generation of steel workers in Vladivostok.

The soon-to-be-developed Dongfanggang iron ore mine and Artem coalfield will also require a large number of laborers. Conditions in these two areas will be very difficult, so the board committee of the company decided that the two mines will "employ" a large number of indigenous Luzon people.

In addition, the company plans to implement the Luzon development plan next year, and several gold, silver and copper mines with relatively large reserves are included in this plan. This is only part of the company's development of Luzon, and various mineral resources in Luzon and its surrounding islands will be developed in the future. The absenteeism in these mining areas will be dominated by the indigenous people of the Philippine Islands.

Vladivostok, which had experienced several crises, finally ushered in a peaceful year in 1630, and all work also entered a stage of rapid development. The development plan formulated by the company at the beginning of the year will not change again and again, and it has always maintained a smooth operation.

The training base on Jeju Island, where the pirates have been training for more than three months. Although these tall and stout Ming soldiers from Liaodong trained thousands of skinny southeast pirates almost harshly, these short, black and thin pirates gritted their teeth and survived.

This tenacity makes the soldiers and ruffians of the overseas brigade have to admire. Zhao Si basically wouldn't scold any pirate in his class now, because there was no need for it.

It turned out that he didn't look down on these southern barbarians who were half a head shorter than him. However, after three months, the results of these pirates in various assessments were much better than those of the overseas regiments that had been trained for more than half a year. He really couldn't guess how these short and thin looking Nanban people got so much energy, could it be that they had long meat in their bones.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch as if he were forced to see that it was almost time for the training to end. So he shouted to the pirates, who had been standing in a military posture all morning, "Rest off...... Attention...... Rest ...... place"

A group of pirates finally ended this difficult morning, and sat on the ground one by one.

After shouting the password, Zhao Si continued to look at his watch for a while, and then slowly put down his hand. Last year, the Central Military Commission issued a mechanical watch to all officers and men who participated in the Gaizhou Wei Campaign, and specially engraved a line commemorating the Gaizhou Battle on the back of the watch.

This kind of watch is specially customized by the company in the modern society to find a factory, and now the officers and soldiers of the Military Commission can have at least one piece in their hands, even if it is a cadre above the squad leader of the militia company.

Zhao Si took it out in front of these pirates to show off in front of them, to show that he was different from them. And this watch did arouse the envy of these pirates, and everyone hoped that there would be one in the future, and it would be so powerful if it was taken out from a crowded place.

"Lao He, didn't you fight a battle in Manila? How can I mix a watch in the future? ”

The man who spoke was Liu Shouyou, who had been taken prisoner of the city of San Salvador in Serao Island last year, along with other Zheng pirate captives, and sent to Jeju Island. Li Ming deliberately explained to Wang Yaowu, and all the pirates were disrupted and regrouped.

He Wu and Liu Shouyou are now brothers and sisters in the same class, although they couldn't pee in a pot at first, but in such an environment, even enemies may make both sides forget each other's hatred for a while, not to mention that they have no grievances.

So over the past few months, the two have become friends who can talk about each other because of their similar temperaments. At first, they didn't know each other's identities, but after a long time, they both saw the difference between each other.

The Zheng pirates were very respectful when they saw Liu Shouyou, and the pirates in Manila simply saluted when they saw He Wu. Only then did they know each other's weight, so the communication between the two became more harmonious.

He Wu listened to Liu Shouyou's words and said with a wry smile: "Brother, although I have always been from the Far East, in the Far East Company, people who have not been beaten here are not real Far Easterners. ”

Liu Shouyou was confused when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Then what are we?" I'm messing with you Nanyangs. ”

He Wu patted Liu Shouyou's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother, my brother is envious of you, listen to my advice, do a good job in the Far East Company, don't think about your big guy anymore, Lao Zheng is now a member of the Far East Company, hehe......"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and followed the others towards the dining hall. Liu Shouyou sat in place in a daze, thinking about He Wu's words in his heart. Although he has been arrested here for so long and does not know the situation outside, he still believes He Wu's words.

Liu Shouyou is also an old pirate who has been drifting at sea for many years, and the nightmarish experience in San Salvador still has lingering palpitations when he thinks about it. Not to mention that Zheng Da is in charge, it is the Francos and Hongyi people who are tied together, and they are not the opponents of the Far East Company.

Although the pirates float on the sea every day, it is like pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and they never take their lives seriously, but it does not mean that the pirates do not have thoughts.

Don't talk about loyalty, it's just a bargaining chip for betrayal, the ability of the foolish and loyal people is often not very strong, but the capable people can always grasp the opportunity to succeed. The world is very fair, they are all the same desperate, but some people are born to be sailors, while some people can become heroes from all over the world.

Not many days after Liu Shouyou came to Jeju Island, he already knew that the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty would definitely be in the Far East in the future. Even the entire South Seas is the Far East's own bathtub.

What kind of Francois and Hongyi people will have to live by drinking the foot-washing water of the Far Eastern Company in the future.

As soon as Liu Shouyou and the others arrived on Jeju Island, they were taken aback by the scene here, attacking the big iron ships like San Salvador City, there are several here, and there are many big plywood boats like Yiren, which are densely docked next to the dock, which makes him dazzled.

They thought they would be sent here to do hard labor, but they were thrown into this camp, tortured to the death of a gang of northern Yankees, and after three months, each of them was able to shed several layers of skin.

Not to mention anything else, in the past three months, the thousands of them have lost all the money they spent on eating. Not to mention the three meals of white rice every day, and the fish and meat at noon, this day may not be nothing to him, but for those ordinary pirates of the Zheng family, it is a fairy day.

Although the daily training is so tiring that people die, but after getting off the training ground, the pirates have an emergency or something, or the training is ruthless and hurts the body, the Far Eastern Company will send Lang Zhong for treatment as soon as possible, and will arrange a sick meal or something, after three months of training, thousands of pirates have made such a big sin, and none of them have fallen.

Not only that, but every night there was a group of people called instructors, who gathered the pirates together and told them stories. Liu Shouyou didn't know until today that this world was so big, what Europa, what the New World of America, made him, an old bandit at sea, can't help but shake his heart.

If you look at the Yi people from the west, they are pirates, thousands of miles away from home, crossing the ocean to expand their territory. Francois was able to lay down a territory that was bigger than Daming. Every day, they feel that guarding the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty is a great ability, and compared with others, they are simply a group of turtles.

Especially the movie that the Far Eastern Company let them watch every few days, and the naval battle scene there made these pirates enthusiastic. How can the men who can drift on the sea be afraid of death, but they row that kind of small broken boat, compared with those big splint boats of others, that is, sampans.

The Far Eastern Company gave the pirates the pirates the Caribbean, the angry sea battle, and the Throat Cutting Island, which was really too much of an appetite for these pirates, and the effect was simply better than * movies.

When Zheng Da's family encountered several boats, they were all besieged with more than 100 small fireboats, that is, they let the brothers take their lives to fill it, but there was no way, it really couldn't be defeated. But if people really come over with 100 big plywood boats, then how can they fight?

After three months, Liu Shouyou found that he had changed and become ambitious. I no longer want to nest on the coast of Daming, driving a small boat with hundreds of materials to dominate. He also wanted to go out and see how big the world was, to see the distant Europa, to see the new continent of America that was bigger than the Ming Dynasty.

Even if you are a pirate, you have to be a pirate like the Franc Man, take an entire continent, and take it there. Grab a few small wooden boats like they used to do, and it really can't satisfy their ambitions.

If you want to do this, you can only do it by following the Far Eastern Company. Others can't do this, and neither can Zheng Da. Thinking of this, his heart instantly flooded with a long-lost ambition and pride, and he wanted to look up to the sky and shout. R1152
