Chapter 459: The Spring of 1634
In the spring of 1634, the temperature in Liaodong was still very low, and after a winter, the frozen land slowly melted, and the ground became extremely muddy at noon.
After several months of intensive winter training, hundreds of thousands of Liao people of the Far Eastern Group have undergone earth-shaking changes. The company conducts large-scale winter training once a year, although it consumes a lot of resources, but the effect is really good.
In addition to basic queue and physical training, the entire winter training also includes a series of work such as literacy eradication and political and ideological education. The Military Commission found good winter training activists from the Liaomin and formed more than 100 grassroots militia companies to train as grassroots management cadres of the future company.
The company's Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Communications, Department of Agriculture and Forestry, and Construction Commission, as well as Sakhalin Petrochemical Base, Iron and Steel Complex and other departments and enterprises can also select some qualified apprentices to train as the company's future industrial workers.
In the conference room of the office area of the Liaodong Management Committee, which was built before the winter, several members of the standing committee of the company's board of directors are gathering together to study the work of this year. Although the company's various departments have submitted their own plans last winter, the company's financial budget has basically been formulated. But the Far Eastern Company gets a special fund every year to cope with all kinds of sudden changes.
We studied the company's industrial, agricultural, educational, military and other work this year, and also focused on discussing the upcoming implementation of the work of package production to households, and the meeting was held for one day. It was already completely dark, but everyone still felt that there was a lot of work to be studied, and it was the employees of the company's office who came to remind them that dinner had been prepared in the cafeteria, and they took their minds back.
Wang He laughed and said, "Okay, the rest of the work will be talked about tomorrow, the sky is big, and the food is the biggest." Let's go...... Let's eat. ”
Everyone laughed when they heard his words, put all kinds of materials in front of them into their briefcases, and then came to the canteen of the management committee together. Because the company's work this year is about to begin, several managing directors of the board of directors have been together almost every day this month. Every day, the Logistics Department of the General Office prepares dinner for several managing directors in the cafeteria.
They were hungry after a busy day, so they began to eat when they came to the table. After a full meal and wine, everyone unconsciously began to study and work.
Gao Jianguo said with a smile: "Yesterday the Ministry of Intelligence in Henan Office sent a telegram, they have done a lot of work since last year, it is expected that this year's immigration work will be very smooth, it is estimated that the number of Shanxi displaced people transported from the Yellow River waterway can reach more than 100,000, and after a while, they will board ships one after another to enter the Yellow River into the sea." In addition, Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang on the southeast coast, and Song Shiping from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, can reach at least 150,000 immigrants to Liaodong this year. ”
Wang He listened to Gao Jianguo's words, and asked Qiao Haipeng next to him with a smile: "Does the Admiralty have any plans, in the face of so many displaced people entering the sea from the Yellow River waterway, your work is not easy." ”
Qiao Haipeng nodded and said, "I have received the news, the Admiralty has held a meeting to study the plan for the immigrants to cross the sea, and we will immediately respond to the immigrants after they enter the sea from the Yellow River." Although the number of immigrants this time is not the largest, it is the most intensive, and we have to transport about 100,000 immigrants to Liaodong in less than a month.
Therefore, all the warships of the Admiralty will be mobilized, as well as most of the warships of the coastal garrisons in Jeju, Tanegashim, and Luzon, and the pirates of Zheng Zhilong, Liu Xiang, and Song Shiping will also join in the rush to transport migrants. The company's two 10,000-ton giant ships are being refitted and will participate in this operation at that time. ”
Gao Jianguo frowned and said, "Can the coastal defense patrols in various places cope with it?" It's already spring, and it's estimated that merchant ships from all over the world are starting to come to Manila, and the waters around Luzon will definitely be busy at that time. ”
Qiao Haipeng smiled and said: "I specially consulted Xiao Hanguang, according to him, the peak period for merchant ships from various countries to come to Manila is after June, after all, before merchant ships arrive in Manila, they will also pull goods along the way to sell in ports in other regions, and only after earning silver can they go to Manila to purchase." For the time being, patrolling the waters of Luzon is under the responsibility of two guerrilla fleets, and there should be no problem.
At present, the strength of our Admiralty is mainly composed of eight new sailing ships, more than a dozen improved sailboats, and dozens of improved sailboats, and dozens of sloop sloops as the main force, as the coastal patrol and defense of various overseas territories.
At present, the main force of maritime patrols is several guerrilla fleets from the company in Luzon, as well as more than 3,000 junk pirate ships of Chinese pirates. If the company controls the South China Sea in the future, our maritime defense force will be somewhat weak. At that time, we will not only hold the waters of the Strait of Malacca and the Maluku Archipelago and Nusa Tenggara Archipelago, but also radiate our maritime power into the Indian Ocean.
Recently, pirates have been extremely active in the waters near the Java Sea, the Strait of Malacca, the Andaman Sea, and the Nicobar Islands. ”
Wang He thought for a while and said, "What does Old Qiao mean, the Admiralty is going to expand the army next." ”
Qiao Haipeng took a few puffs of his cigarette, then shook his head and said, "Expanding the army is necessary, but it can't be too rushed." At present, the Admiralty is already facing the problem of talent disconnection, and many positions are being dealt with, and the Navy and the Army are different in that they need to accumulate for a long time, and ten or eight years is nothing. And the soldiers lack the baptism of the battlefield, so the road to the Admiralty is still long.
The reason why Britain, who was born as a pirate, dominated the world and became an empire on which the sun never sets, was fought out. It is true that the soldiers who surrender without a fight are true, but they also need prerequisites, relying on something, not a large number of advanced weapons, but victory after war. Don't go through bloody battles, talk about what soldiers surrender without a fight. ”
Gao Jianguo nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, if it wasn't for the battle that our army fought in North Korea back then, would the country have been quiet for so many years?" Many people also laugh at us for relying on crowd tactics, and the person who says this kind of thing is a layman himself. They don't have to think about whether they can win a battle just by having a lot of people. If the most primitive weapons we used against the most elite troops of the United States, land, and sea and those who had experienced the baptism of World War II had not had superb command art, brave sacrifice, and good discipline in execution, the United States would have let the United States let the sheep go.
You let other countries try it. It can be said that we won this battle with flesh and blood, and we used hundreds of thousands of lives to fight the national fortune for decades. Until we came, the Americans did not dare to deal with us blatantly, because we had beaten them in North Korea. If we don't fight this battle, we will talk about 30 years of reform and opening up. To this day, there are still people who dream of a peaceful rise, and they don't have a knife in their hands that have ever cut people, can you keep the gold and silver treasures at home? ”R1152
