It really took more than ten minutes to confirm the identity of Gu Kun and his party.

In '94, the walkie-talkie line had not yet been laid to every reef. Yesterday, they landed on Ganquan Island, because the number of people stationed was too small and the facilities were incomplete, so they could only pass the news to the main island through the assault boat with regular traffic.

The popularization of military walkie-talkie lines began to be gradually solved after about 96 years.

It all costs money.

The command on Yonglin Island is a battalion, but in fact it only has two companies. One of them was stationed on the main island, and the other was divided into teams and scattered on the small islands outside.

Long Wu and Chen Li carried the stretcher and sent Gu Kun ashore. A person in charge on the shore instructed: "Are you overseas Chinese from Lanfang? and the wounded who have just undergone surgery, then arrange to go to the clinic first." The chief will receive you in a moment. ”

There is only one female hygienist on duty in the clinic, surnamed Hu, about 25 years old, and she looks quite strong. Hearing that Gu Kun was an overseas Chinese, she patiently helped to change the dressing and clean up, and also took a simple blood test.

Of course, the content of the blood test is to measure white blood cells, that is, to determine the degree of infection, and other complex indicators cannot be tested on the island.

While cleaning up the blood test, Dr. Hu inevitably chatted with Gu Kun.

After all, if you are on an island for a few months, you can't see new faces, and it's easy to get depressed, so the people here are very welcoming to visitors.

When confirming that Gu Kun really cut his appendix by himself, Dr. Hu was also so shocked that he was speechless for a long time:

"I thought it was you, and you had to be operated on by your fellow shipmates at worst? Comrade Xiao Gu, you are too powerful. If you had lasted another five hours yesterday, wouldn't it have been nice to come to us?

But fortunately, the degree of infection is under control, and you have to take large doses of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs these days, which may have side effects, but there is no way. ”

Gu Kun lay on the clean linen sheet and grinned, "IMHO...... You're not a surgeon either. The disinfection conditions here may not be much better than those on Ganquan Island. ”

Dr. Hu was a little embarrassed: "Indeed, Sister Liu and I can only be regarded as hygienists, and the first aid for trauma is okay, but there is no way to operate." As for disinfection, it's all the same spraying of potion into the house, and nothing else. ”

There are less than 200 people on the island, all of whom are young people, so there are not so many patients in normal times, and two hygienists are enough to take a shift.

When there were no patients, the hygienists had to grow vegetables and work with the soldiers, and the conditions were very difficult. Fresh water is precious, so growing vegetables is also drip irrigated.

Gu Kun: "Isn't that over, if I stayed up for another 5 hours yesterday, it would have been pierced." When the time comes, I will definitely not be able to do it myself, and I will only increase the risk. ”

Dr. Hu thought about it carefully and had to admit that what Gu Kun said was the truth, and that it was the safest choice at that time: "But I still can't believe it." ”

Gu Kun: "I also think it's incredible, I admit that there was an element of gambling at that time - I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive, so I asked my sister to record a video for me and cut my appendix by myself." In that case, if you die, it can be regarded as a memorial to your loved ones. If there is a machine on your island that plays videotapes, you can take a look at it and prove that I am not lying. ”

Gu Kun said this, not to pretend or show off how "brave" he was.

The main thing is to let the people on Yonglin Island also believe in his situation as soon as possible and completely.

Dr. Hu's first reaction was to be taken aback, but after being in the health center for a long time, he had some immunity, and after thinking about it, he still ran out to ask the leader.

There is no television signal on the island, but there are still machines to play video tapes, otherwise the more than 100 people have no entertainment at all, and their morale is easy to collapse.

Dr. Hu asked for instructions, and he also felt that it was safer to confirm it, so he asked Gu Pan for yesterday's video to watch.

After all, this matter is too unbelievable, so it is safer to confirm what is happening on Ganquan Island.

Then, in less than half an hour, Gu Kun's deeds of cutting his appendix spread all over the island and became a legend.

Soon, a chief came to inspect and condole.

"The battalion commander is good, Section Chief Liu is good. Dr. Hu hurriedly saluted and then withdrew.

Gu Kun greeted the other party for a while, then expressed his gratitude, and also said that he wanted to do the transportation of supplies.

The specific process is not easy to say.

In short, as soon as the two sides met, Gu Kun first asked his sister to take out a pennant to express his gratitude.

Of course, the ship can't make a proper pennant, so it's actually a rectangular piece of red cloth.

As for embroidery, it was also impossible, there were not even brushes on board. However, there are brushes to repair the ship's paint, so the words on this pennant are actually painted with yellow ship's paint.

The brush is the four words "Happy Shou Tianya", and the font is square, just like the font of the ship's name on the side of the ship.

The form is not important, but the gratitude of the patriotic overseas Chinese in Nanyang is the most important.

So when Section Chief Liu received the pennant with the smell of lacquer, he was quite moved.

After receiving the pennant, Gu Kun instructed Long Wu to donate the remaining more than 200 catties of various supplies on the ship to the relevant departments. Of course, Section Chief Liu would not accept it, and still paid according to the parity price purchased in Guangdong.

After laying these grounds, Gu Kun explained that he accidentally fished into the ocean-style sonar. It is said that it was accidentally caught near the Natuna Islands, and at that time it was only half cut and floated in the sea.

He also said that it was the policy interpretation he received from Gao Jianxiong yesterday that he knew that the state had a policy of rewarding the handing over of unidentified objects that he had caught, so he came to hand it in.

This can be regarded as being able to pull Gao Jianxiong a handful, and it will benefit without cost.

Hearing that something good had been caught, the relevant personnel were really excited, and immediately sent someone to tinker with it to verify it, and then their attitude towards Gu Kun became more friendly.

"Comrade Xiao Gu, you are really a friend of the Chinese people. Section Chief Liu held his hand and shook it twice, characterizing him.

Gu Kun greeted modestly for a while, and then talked about his hope to get a fishing license, so that in the future, when he passed through the Weisha Islands, he could sell some supplies at a reasonable price.

After taking an in-depth look at the situation, Section Chief Liu issued some documents to Gu Kun:

"You take this receipt and confirmation letter first, and after you arrive in Guangdong, you can find the relevant fishery department to receive the reward, I can give you a rough idea, the cash reward is about 5 to 100,000 yuan. Taking into account the consistent friendship between our country and the Lantian side, as well as your sincerity and specific circumstances. We can first give you a temporary fishing license for a period of three months, which is exclusive to foreign friends......"

Section Chief Liu paused a little when he said this.

His so-called "consistent friendship" mainly refers to the fact that the Lantian side does not have any situation on the border with China, isn't it friendly -- don't look at the closest island of the Lantian side is only 30 nautical miles away from China's territorial waters, but the two are separated by a small island in the Natuna Islands.

Therefore, Lan is not a neighbor of China, it is only a neighbor of Indonesia. And China is only neighboring countries with India and Malaysia. Even if it is separated by a few nautical miles from the Indonesians, it is not a neighboring country, and the characterization of this major right and wrong cannot be wrong.

Providing this level of convenience to the patriotic overseas Chinese who came to help was originally a matter of discretion. Moreover, what Gu Kun handed over was enough to prove his sincerity.

Gu Kun nodded, indicating that he accepted this condition, and asked, "What about after the expiration of the three-month temporary permit?"

Section Chief Liu: "Within three months, you will go to the fishery administration department in Guangdong to register and renew the license and register the ship type, and they will give you a long-term license - but at that time, you will have to have one license per boat and accept spot checks." You must not use one certificate for multiple purposes, it will be revoked. You should just sign up for this boat, right?"

"Can't you change boats? This boat is rented by me temporarily, and my own boat is not this. Gu Kun asked nervously.

Section Chief Liu: "Anyway, when you go to register the ship, even if it is which." However, I am a medium-sized ship. According to our fishery management measures, the boat you go to change the official certificate cannot become a large ship-

That is, the length of the ship should be less than 60 meters, the power of the main engine should be less than 440 kilowatts, and the standard displacement should be less than 500 tons. None of the three indicators can be exceeded. ”

Gu Kun couldn't help but feel a little pressured.

This means that he has to earn enough money to buy his big fishing boat within three months.

Since the upper limit of the license is not low, he must want to get a better ship than the current charter.

And Liu Min's boat cost more than 400,000 yuan, equivalent to about 1 million yuan.

If it is bigger, and with cold storage, isn't it equivalent to earning 2 million yuan in three months?

It's a lot of pressure.

However, you don't have to pay for a fishing boat in full. Basically, you can have a 60% down payment, and the rest of the bank will be willing to give you a mortgage.

That is at least equivalent to earning more than 1 million in three months.

Gu Kun was there to settle his own accounts, and Section Chief Liu's next sentence quickly pulled him back from his contemplation:

"This license is conditional. In the future, you will have to transport at least 200,000 yuan worth of supplies every year and sell them to us at a reasonable price. If it is not met, the license will be revoked every other year. ”

Gu Kun felt that this was very reasonable, and the purpose of his request for a permit was originally to do some business that would benefit the country and the people, and transport some cheap supplies for Weisha.

If it is 200,000 a year, it will be 18,000 per month.

Taking diesel as an example, now domestic diesel is 1 yuan 2 liters, and a barrel of 150 liters is 180 yuan. This amount is the capacity to help bring 100 barrels of diesel fuel every month. When the time comes, he will have a ship of several hundred tons, and he will not be able to squeeze out this capacity.

And with the permit, he will be able to fish openly in the waters further north from here, because he is a certified patriotic overseas Chinese and an old friend of the Chinese people.

This profit alone is enough to recoup the loss of supplies that helped bring supplies.

In this way, the two sides held cordial and friendly talks in a harmonious atmosphere and reached a consensus of mutual benefit.

Gu Kun spent an afternoon in the island's health room, avoiding the hottest hours of the day, and Dr. Hu put the only electric fan in the clinic into his hospital room to ventilate.

Then, in the evening, after finishing the formalities, he insisted on setting sail to say goodbye to his new friends.

On this day, it was already the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, February 18, 1994 in the Gregorian calendar.

After leaving Yonglin Island, the ship continued to drive at sea for three and a half days, and finally in the early morning of February 22, the mainland was seen on the horizon.

If the chart is correct, this should be the mouth of the Pearl River.
