Chapter 510: Return
It is the spring of another year, and the spring plowing and production tasks in all parts of eastern Liaoning have been completed. Since the company implemented the policy of package production to households in Liaodong, the production enthusiasm of the people of Liaoning has been unprecedentedly high, and the output of last autumn's harvest cannot be compared with the intensive cultivation of Vladivostok in that year, but it is also reasonable.
Now Liaodong is still under intense construction, there is no way, Vladivostok has been busy for so long in the big places back then, not to mention such a large area in Liaodong. Just the infrastructure construction in various places, without a few years of hard work, may not even be able to see the shadow.
The construction of the main artery of the Northeast Railway from Shenyang to Vladivostok has begun, but the progress is not satisfactory, and it seems that it cannot be counted on in the past few years.
Fortunately, the railway from Shenyang to Fangzhou City has been built, and all kinds of materials from Vladivostok this year can be directly reached in Fangzhou along the waterway, and then loaded in Fangzhou and connected to the Guò railway directly along the Hunhe River. It greatly alleviates the burden of material transportation capacity from Vladivostok to Liaodong, after all, the distance by sea is too far, the transportation cycle is long, and the cost of resources is wasted.
Nowadays, a new port has been built at the mouth of the Liaohe River, which follows the name of modern society, and is called Yingkou Town. In the future, it will be the shipping logistics center of the Far East Company, and the company's shipping materials will be loaded and unloaded from here and transported to all parts of Liaodong by water.
Today, Yingkou Port was crowded, and many Liaomin employees were taken aback by the formation of the port wharf. More than half of the legendary Far Eastern "Nine" came today, and the main figures of both the military and the government also came here.
Soon after, a shrill whistle was heard in the distance.
Gao Jianguo said with a smile: "The fleet should have arrived, I haven't seen this kid Song Tao for almost two years." Ha ha...... Don't tell me, I miss him a lot. ”
Wang He also smiled and said, "Yes, it has been almost two years since the Ocean Exploration Fleet left. The cadres and fighters of the fleet are said to have experienced many difficulties along the way. Dozens of officers and soldiers were also killed. ”
His words silenced everyone who attended the welcome.
At this time, on the sea level in the distance, a sail shadow had already appeared, led by three landing ships. The people on the dock cheered. Li Ming and Song Tao stood on the bridge of the No. 1 landing ship, watching the lively scene on the dock in the distance. They were all a little dumbfounded.
"Dude, it's a bit big......"
Li Ming glanced at Song Tao and said with a smile: "This has nothing to do with us, everyone welcomes you to explore the ocean fleet, you have been gone for two years, and the company has been worried." ”
This time, Li Ming and Song Tao returned by boat with the officers and men of the field division, and they had also left Liaodong for nearly a year, and the soldiers saw the familiar town of Yingkou. Everyone cheered excitedly.
As soon as all the officers and men of the ocean-going exploration fleet and the combined fleet led by Li Ming and Song Tao stepped on the dock, the welcoming crowd saw dozens of soldiers holding an urn in their hands, and all of them stood solemnly, and the scene was very solemn.
Song Tao led all the officers and soldiers of the ocean exploration fleet, finished the purging, and then walked in front of Gao Jianguo with dozens of soldiers holding ashes. Lizheng saluted and shouted: "Comrade commander, all the officers and men of the ocean exploration fleet. To successfully complete the ocean-going exploration mission, the number of officers and men of the fleet should have reached 1,425, but the actual number has reached 1,383, of which 42 have been sacrificed. ”
Gao Jianguo shouted with a heavy face: "Take a break......
After he finished speaking, he came to everyone and looked at everyone with a solemn face. But instead of speaking, he walked up to a warrior, silently took the ashes from his hand, and yelled.
"Brother, let's go home......"
Officers and men of the ocean-going exploration fleet at this time. They all burst into tears and shouted, "Brother, let's go home......"
Wang He also stepped forward, took an ash and walked silently towards Yingkou Town with Gao Jianguo, followed by Li Ming, Han Shuanglin, Li Yukun and other members of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors, each holding the ashes of a soldier and leaving the dock.
The inland river wharf in Yingkou Town is mooring the barges on the river deck, and they are holding urns and getting on the boat, slowly heading towards Shenyang. A martyr's cemetery in the south of Shenyang has been built, and the martyrs of the Far East will be buried there in the future.
A few days later, the company held a grand commendation meeting in Shenyang, this time the Battle of Manila, the Battle of the South Seas, and all the officers and men of the ocean-going exploration fleet and their personnel. Dozens of officers and men who were wounded in this operation will be awarded medals, and the families of the 42 martyrs who died in the ocean-going exploration fleet will also be invited to the commendation meeting, and the standing committee members and members of the board of directors of the Far Eastern Company will personally present them with medals.
After the commendation meeting, the board of directors of the Far Eastern Company held a meeting, which was attended by more than 200 people, including all the standing committee members and members of the committee, all the members of the Luzon Management Committee, the three giants of the intelligence department, and some representatives of the board of directors of the company.
The main topic of the meeting was to reflect on and sum up the war. After the Battle of Nanyang, the board of directors of the company instructed Zhou Billy to set up a joint investigation team. The composition of the joint investigation team includes the three giants of the Ministry of Intelligence, some members of the preparatory group for the founding of the country, some members of the board of directors of the company, and some directors temporarily selected from the board of directors of the company, totaling more than 50 people.
The meeting began with a presentation by Zhou Billy, head of the joint investigation team and minister of intelligence, who reported on their work during this period.
After several months of work, the joint investigation team found a number of problems in Manila. First of all, there is a hidden danger that the company's internal security work is heavy, and the Western colonizers have deployed a large number of spies in Manila and obtained a lot of valuable information.
Manila city government staff, as well as a significant number of police, urban management and customs personnel, have been bribed or inadvertently used. And thousands of weapons such as arquebuses and ammunition have flowed into the city of Manila in less than three years.
Although the company invests a lot of money in the Manila Homeland Security Agency every year, and the Manila Homeland Security Department does a lot of work, they are not aware of all of the above. As a result, Manila's internal guard work is like a sieve, full of loopholes.
The joint investigation team also uncovered a large amount of corruption in Manila, involving Chinese staff in the Manila City Government and Chinese employees in various departments in Manila. Fortunately, these phenomena did not involve the standing committee members and members of the Luzon Management Committee, and all the problems did not touch the laws and regulations formulated by the Luzon Management Committee, and most of them were institutional loopholes.
But these problems are also shocking, leaving all the Standing Committee members and members of the Board Committee dumbfounded. Everyone is reflecting on whether this situation will occur in Liaodong, Vladivostok and other places in the future. (To be continued......) R1292
