Chapter 708: The Great Drought in Chongzhen (9)
Several members of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission have already spoken, and some members of the Central Military Commission have also expressed their support for this plan. Moreover, although many members of the Nationalities Committee have not expressed their views for the time being, they are obviously very interested in this plan.
This time they were in Daming, and their hearts were greatly impacted, and the tragic situation of Daming immigrants also subverted everyone's cognition. Therefore, when discussing the issue of the Ming Dynasty, it is no longer as realistic as before, and there is a little pity in my heart.
Gao Jianguo saw the situation at the venue, and his heart that had been slipping away was finally put down. At least for now, there is a good chance that this plan will be passed, at least the members of the Military Commission will support this plan one-sidedly.
Wang He glanced at Gao Jianguo, the other party nodded at him, Wang He smiled and said, "Is there anyone else you want to add?" ”
"If no one adds to it, then we will now vote on the plan submitted by Gao Jianguo and Li Ming, and please raise your hand if you agree with this plan!"
Most of the Standing Committee members and members in the conference room raised their hands, and some members hesitated for a while and raised their hands one after another. So far, Gao Jianguo and Li Ming's plan has won the support of the vast majority of members at the meeting of the company's board of directors.
Wang He nodded and said, "I announce that the plan of the Military Commission has been approved by a majority. Boss Gao, the Central Military Commission will be responsible for the implementation of the next step of this plan, and we, the Nationalities Committee, will fully cooperate. ”
Gao Jianguo listened to Wang He's words and said in a deep voice to the Standing Committee members and members attending the meeting: "Please rest assured that our Military Commission will definitely go all out to resolutely complete its tasks. ”
Next, the meeting discussed how the company should deal with the sudden outbreak of displaced people in Daming. This time, there is a relatively small disagreement on the issue of disaster relief, but how to save it and to what extent. Everyone's opinions are still not unanimous. However, this can all be studied and discussed, and in the end it can always be coordinated, at least the members present at the meeting are in the same direction.
The meeting lasted until late at night, and finally a feasible plan was worked out that was acceptable to all the members, and the plan was adopted in the subsequent vote on the resolution.
So far. Far Eastern Company's disaster relief plan for the victims in northern Daming also kicked off.
All departments of the company convened a meeting of the heads of various units overnight to deploy the tasks of each department during the disaster relief. All departments of the company put down almost all their work and devoted themselves to preparing for the disaster.
Before dawn the next morning, the Golden Horn pier in Vladivostok was already busy. Two 19,800-ton international CCS bulk carriers, a 12,000-ton container ship, a 50,000-ton bulk general carrier of cement raw meal, a 13,900-ton product oil tanker that has been converted into a cargo ship, a 4,000-ton icebreaker converted into a cargo ship, and a 16,282-ton multipurpose bulk carrier snatched from Japan have all been ready to leave the port.
These ships have been moored in the Golden Horn in Vladivostok, mainly because the industrial center of the Far Eastern Company is still in Vladivostok, and only the Golden Horn terminal in the Far East has all the facilities of a modern deep-water wharf, and at present, only the Vladivostok Vladivostok shipyard has the company's ability to maintain modern ships. Therefore, these big guys of the company have always used the Golden Horn as a base.
The scale of the Sakhalin petrochemical base is getting bigger and bigger, the company's oil supply has been basically solved, and a complete oil preparation base has been established, so the big guys who have passed through the wormhole with the company have finally come into use.
Several 10,000-ton ships travel to and from Manila several times a year to transport rice from Siam, agricultural products and ores from the South Seas, and other supplies. The Vladivostok shipyard has been meticulously maintained. So that these big guys are in good condition.
In the early hours of yesterday morning, the Vladivostok Port Authority suddenly received a telegram from the company's headquarters. Let the Vladivostok Port Authority prepare as quickly as possible, and all the ships in the port are ready to set sail for the western waters of Luzon.
The Vladivostok Port Authority immediately carried out emergency mobilization, and several 10,000-ton ships were ready to set sail this morning. With the sound of a whistle, several 10,000-ton giant ships slowly sailed away from the dock under the guidance of several tugboats.
In addition, all the sailing ships and sailing ships in the ports of Vladivostok and Sakhalin have also ended their respective missions. Set sail for the Daming coast. The Vladivostok shipyard has also undergone a large-scale mobilization, and the twelve slipways, which originally produced large sail carriers, will be increased to more than twenty in a year, and workers will work in four shifts to build large sail carriers.
Four large transport aircraft sailing ships undergoing sea trials. They also ended the sea trials ahead of schedule and went to the coast of Daming. The Vladivostok shipyard's newest design of a large sail carrier of 3,000 tons of the first class, the first experimental vessel, will also be produced by the end of this year.
The major enterprises in Vladivostok have also stepped up their production tasks and made every effort to assist the Vladivostok shipyard in striving to launch 30 large sail carriers next year to strengthen the shipping forces of the Far East.
A large number of sailing ships, improved sailing ships, and improved sailing ships from the South Seas and Ceylon from the Far East set sail one after another, heading for the coastal direction of Daming, and each ship was ordered to fill its ships with grain before setting sail.
In Port Arthur in Liaodong, a fleet consisting of three landing ships and hundreds of sailing ships also set sail one after another, which is a combined transport fleet composed of the navy, and the commander of the fleet, Zhou Cheng. The fleet will go to the waters near Luzon. At the same time, Liu Xiang of Guangdong and Zheng Zhilong of Fujian also mobilized almost all the ships and converged on Manila.
The Military Council gave them the same order, that is, every ship must be filled with food. Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong had to mobilize grain and grass everywhere, but it was indeed difficult to achieve so many ships to fill with grain in such a short period of time.
All of a sudden, thousands of ships from the Far East-controlled zone left port one after another and converged on the two regions. One is the coastal area of Daming, where the ships that go there are all loaded with grain without exception. The ships that converged in the western waters of Luzon formed a large transport fleet there, and went to Siam, Chenla, and other places in the Indochina Peninsula to buy grain.
This huge fleet of grain purchasers is extremely large, consisting of six giant ships of 10,000 tons, four modern ships of more than 3,000 tons, and several hundred sailboats, improved sailboats, and improved sailboats. The fleet can bring back more than 200,000 tons of grain at one time.
The Military Commission gave Zhou Cheng a death order, no matter what means were used, all the ships must be filled with grain and then transported back to Liaodong. (To be continued......)
