"Nonsense! How can you talk nonsense?! Just let you observe the situation of the Europeans. Where did you find this mess! ”

Zheng Quan, the chairman of the committee, slapped the table violently, and almost the entire oak house trembled.

Under the light, the forty-year-old former captain of the customs anti-smuggling ship blushed, and for the first time, people could see his angry side. Even after experiencing so many unhappiness so far, no one has ever seen Zheng Quan lose his temper even once.

The honest uncle obviously couldn't accept what had been rumored to be a joke in the Manhattan neighborhood this time.

There are more than a dozen members of the self-help committee who have been expanded twice, the oldest is 68 years old, and the youngest is only 22 years old. Zheng Quan's typical leadership team of three generations, the old, middle-aged and young, seems to be going through a strict challenge.

"Hehe, just kidding."

Yan Xiaosong stood up apologetically, and his smiling eyes were imprinted with the faces of committee members, old and young.

After looking around for a week, Yan Xiaosong took out a piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the table: "This is the report of today's material sorting department, and I will submit it to the committee for review and keep it for the record." I take full responsibility for my personal imprudent and excessive words and deeds, and I would like to resign as a member of the Committee for Chairman Zheng's approval. ”

After speaking, Yan Xiaosong walked out of the wooden house after nodding politely to everyone.

It seems that everyone is mentally prepared, even Zhou Kemin, who usually talks the most, bows his head cautiously.

"Uh...... Lao Zheng, don't be angry. After so many days, everyone knows what our committee has done and how it has been done. Our compatriots trust each and every one of us very much, and we ourselves have no reason not to trust Yan Xiaosong. ”

Qi Jianjun, vice chairman of the committee, quickly stood up at this time, and swept over the younger members present with a gaze of hatred for iron and steel, and among them, Su Zining stayed for more time.

Except for Su Zining, who had been staring at the table, who still looked contemplative, the other young committee members almost agreed with the time and showed nonchalant expressions.

"I was a little impulsive, I apologize." Zheng Quan also stood up at this time, took off his big-brimmed hat from the customs, and took a deep breath, "I mention the position of chairman of the committee, which will be held by Comrade Liu Mingjun and Liu Lao, and I will personally go back below to lead the fleet." ”

If Yan Xiaosong's voluntary resignation was a small internal tremor before, then Zheng Quan's voluntary resignation this time was like a scoop of water poured into oil.

The first one to jump out to stop was Zhou Kemin, a young man born in the 90s who was vigorously promoted by Zheng Quan and Qi Jianjun because of his professionalism and tireless work style in various work.

The second person to object is the current acting captain of No. 516, Wang Tiehammer. The former naval officer usually doesn't talk much, but he absolutely supports any decision made by Zheng Quan.

And the third one who objected was the old man Liu Mingjun himself. The 68-year-old retired police officer is typical of the older generation of revolutionary workers, modest, low-key, and extremely hard-tempered. Together with his daughter, the female bailiff Liu Lanxi, Liu Lao has now dealt with the law and order situation in the community to a satisfactory level.

"Young people, it's good to have dreams. Dare to do and dare to think is one of the important factors for our hundreds of people to be able to unite and survive at present. We should not be afraid to make mistakes, but we should know how to correct them. Liu Lao waved his hand, smiling without being solemn, as if he had returned to the time when he was educating the first batch of police disciples.

In the next ten minutes, Liu Lao said that he did not leak, neither naming Yan Xiaosong's excesses, nor emphasizing whether Zheng Quan was making a big fuss, in short, expressing his neutral position and his unwillingness to accept the chairman's position.

"Hey, Old Liu, I need an old comrade like you to watch, stare at, and protect now. Lao Zheng is straightforward and fast-talking, he can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, and he is more strict with young people, which is not a bad thing. After speaking, Qi Jianjun called Su Zining, "Xiao Su, you and Yan Xiaosong are usually the closest, you have to communicate more, you must check each other on key issues, you can't be suspicious of each other's ability, but you can't blindly follow." Our big boat can only move steadily if everyone understands each other. ”

Yes, you ordered me anyway...... Su Zining forced his face bitterly, so he could only nod.

In the end, Zheng Quan remained on the committee, responsible for all military security affairs, and Liu Lao became the new chairman of the self-help committee by everyone's vote.

The whole meeting was full of steady and classical Chinese conference style, neither left nor right, and all of them continued to maintain their original speed and position like gears on engine oil.

……

……

At night, the wide residential area is lit up like fireflies still holding their posts in the winter night. Siemens energy-saving lamps imported from Germany play a role in traveling through time and space on this night, as if people are back in a small village along the coast.

"Hehe, don't, don't look at me with this expression, I really don't care!"

Still on the watchtower, in the cold night breeze, under the lights, Yan Xiaosong still has that optimistic and chic smile. And Su Zining, who was opposite him, had an indescribable expression.

"Well, you don't care, but you see now, hundreds of people have one more thing in their hearts, and this matter will be more important than what they can eat tomorrow!" Su Zining quickly swept back and forth from the other party's face, not realizing the changes he expected, and could only sigh slightly, "The United States of America, the United States...... I know what you mean. ”

"I thought you were going to sing a play with me, but you were shrunk to the side like a cat with a burned tail." Yan Xiaosong patted the other party's shoulder, and his tone gradually became lower, "We can't turn a blind eye to the things we are bound to face." Brew some in advance, everyone should have a psychological preparation, an idea, and a room for thinking, otherwise when facing a sudden overwhelmed situation, worry and anxiety will trigger excessive behavior. ”

"You're influenced by that self-styled social psychologist?" Su Zining glanced at Yan Xiaosong meaningfully, "Yes, now at least hundreds of ** silk and Wenqing among the residents are already shouting the slogan of establishing the Chinese American Republic." ”

"You're just using this joke, in front of everyone, to draw a line of attitude that we have to face, towards other peoples, other countries, and even other groups of thought?" Seeing that Yan Xiaosong did not refute him, Su Zining paused, and finally said his opinion.

"Hmm...... What was that phrase you said when we first met? There must always be someone who stays out of the way when others are busy and thinks about worrying about the country and the people? Yan Xiaosong smiled again, "I have the opportunity to express my position, and this position has actually been stored and thought about in your heart, so why don't you want to say it?" ”

"Well, maybe I'm too troubled by gains and losses......" Su Zining had to nod and admit.

"The Mayflower is ours, and I'm actually planning to go to Europe." At this time, Yan Xiaosong also said the last truth.

"Well, I guessed it, you want to step back and do something alone, too." Su Zining nodded and regained a calm smile.

The two fell silent again, and the rest of the topic remained in their hearts.

……

……

The "prisoners of war" held by the "U.S. government" for military invasion now formally became legal laborers in the Manhattan community. Beginning in mid-November, these men replaced all the Indian hired men as coal diggers at the Staten Mine.

The woman who had just given birth and her baby was allowed to live in a Manhattan community welfare home, where she assisted early childhood teacher Li Lin in caring for all the children.

The rest of the European settlers were split into two parts, with Captain Adelaide and his crew of 16 being quarantined in a woodyard west of Brooklyn's industrial area. The remaining immigrants, both men and women, settled on Staten Island in coal mining, with the elderly and women cultivating their own land and the Manhattan community providing the necessary tools.

In order to prevent accidents, all winter supplies in the Staten Coal Yard are strictly controlled, and every three days, the fishing boats that come to pull the coal will send supplies at the same time.

The poor English Puritans stayed for a while, not knowing how long the American Republic of China, which had fallen from the sky, would imprison them, or what would happen to them.

On November 23rd, one of the most important meetings in the history of the crossing was finally held at the Manhattan Community Council. After that night's personnel changes, within a few days, the Self-Help Committee changed its name again. From the makeshift self-help group, to the self-help committee, to the Manhattan Community Council, most people can understand the changes and implications.

Now, we are no longer a bunch of fleeing victims, but a group with greater and more survival purposes and road choices.

The Commission's Ministry of Industry had been working on the Mayflower a week earlier, and in the process, the Mayflower's crew and several craftsmen from the emigrants were politely invited to the site.

The young people in the Ministry of Industry have an unusual admiration for the Age of Sails, especially one of them, a young man named Shi Yige.

The 25-year-old former general mapping technician at the Dalian shipyard participated in the Varyag surveying and mapping, and he is also a fan of ship models, one of the few laptop owners. The lad was very serious in the face of this historically real sailing ship, and spent almost his broken English communicating with several English craftsmen all day long.

"I participated in yesterday's sea trials and have confirmed that the Mayflower has been repaired. That Adelaide captain accepted our offer. Zhou Kemin, the person in charge of supervising the English, smiled and held the manuscript, full of energy, "A pack of cigarettes, a glass and a small makeup mirror, the British uncle was very excited." ”

New content is added every day. The latest batch was to get a full 2,000 sets of glass wine utensils imported from Italy from the warehouse of the Fengcheng 16 bulk carrier, as well as thousands of sets of brand-name cosmetics imported from France.

What does it mean that the whole committee is ecstatic about these gains? A set of Italian high-end glass barware is synonymous with gold in this era! According to the calculations of the history of a certain two-knife line, such a beautiful set of glassware can probably cost at least 4,000 guilders in the pocket of a profiteer in Antwerp, and the price may double if it reaches a city like Paris.

A whole 2,000 sets, all worth at least £800,000! Of course, the premise is not to appear so much in the market at once.

Going to Europe?! The people from the Ministry of Industry began to get excited, and the person in charge, Jiang Zhaolong, almost slapped the table and yelled.

Although there are a bunch of second-knife professionals below, and there are plenty of repairable equipment at hand, but due to the natural resources of this unfortunate Manhattan area, there is a shortage of raw materials to achieve the mass production of many light and heavy industrial products within a few years, so Jiang Zhaolong, who is not yet 35 years old, has his hair turning gray during this time.

In addition, the Ministry of Chemical Industry is also making trouble, and even the Ministry of Agriculture, which will really have something to do after the beginning of spring, is also making trouble.

"Okay, guys, I understand the predicament of each department right now." Liu Lao pressed his hands and finally calmed everyone's enthusiasm, "I have communicated with Xiao Zheng and Xiao Qi, the most important thing at present is to get more ships, the increase in transportation capacity, we can get more sources of raw materials, and trade with Europe is imminent." ”

"Well, so the next step is to determine who to send to Europe to take care of this first trade." Although Zheng Quan is no longer the chairman, he still has a strong say in the committee, and the early integration of customs and police personnel has led to the most influential group of people in the entire Manhattan community at present.

Almost everyone was silent.

If in a few hundred years, it is estimated that all the people on the scene will raise their hands. But what about Europe in the 17th century...... Even Chairman Liu Lao has heard of it.

"I think so, everyone has their own search plan first, and then go down separately to communicate with the relevant personnel, and it is better to volunteer."

Qi Jianjun was familiar with the plan that was the most difficult to guide the meeting to end without a hitch, and the committee members nodded one after another. But it is difficult to say how many people will eventually put this resolution into practice.

"I know who can go."

Su Zining stood up at this time, took out a list from his pocket, first glanced at Zheng Quan, and then handed the list to Chairman Liu Lao.

"Voluntary application?" Liu Lao put on his reading glasses and read out the title, and everyone, including Zheng Quan, was stunned for a moment. Then Liu Lao continued to read: "Yan Xiaosong, Yuan Xinyi, Zhu Xiaoli." ”

"Huh?" Chen Liwen, the former deputy captain of the Y City Economic Investigation Brigade here, couldn't help but mutter.

Of the three, the first two made a very strong impression on the Committee. One seems to have caused a "great disaster", and the other has successfully translated a passage that uncovers the problem of those present traveling through time and era. But the last one made everyone except Chen Liwen feel relatively unfamiliar with the name.

"Oh, let me explain. Zhu Xiaoli used to be the leader of the economic investigation team under me, a retired scout, with good skills, and he is very smart, and he has made several achievements. Chen Liwen quickly stood up and explained the situation.

Zheng Quan's brows furrowed slightly, but he did not explicitly object.

Some people have long been working together in private, although in the end the community committee has to be communicated, but in the end, Yan Xiaosong has unveiled a precedent in the management team that is different from the previous work style.

Organizational distribution is still the mode of doing things for the entire Manhattan community. In Zheng Quan's view, only a highly unified unity and division of labor can ensure that everyone is of one mind. The idea of what you want to do is very inappropriate for the present. Because this may give rise to feelings that you don't want to do at all.

At this time, Qi Jianjun also showed the same expression as Zheng Quan, thinking deeply.

"Okay, I'll send three more armed police officers from the security department." Zheng Quan thought for a while, made an addition, and after speaking, looked at the young man who provoked this matter.

Su Zining, who stabbed another hornet's nest, did not express any opinion very sensibly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's just a preliminary decision, and the entire Manhattan community will have to make more preparations for their first trip to Europe, and the actual departure time will not be until January next year at the earliest.

Through the window of the wooden house, Su Zining's gaze fell on the dock in the distance, and the repainted Mayflower was crawling with people full of interest......
