Section 240 Military dogs

Lingao's water resources are scarce in the long run, and it is not suitable as a major agricultural base in the future, Changhua has less arable land, but fresh water, forestry and industrial and mining resources are much more abundant than Lingao. Only the runoff of the Changhua River is there, and the whole county of Lingao is only. 40,000 kilowatts of hydropower resources can be developed, 30 times more than Lingao, not to mention the local iron ore and copper mines. The cement rock resources alone have great industrial potential.

"What? Want to build water conservancy? Fang Jinghan said hello to Yan Qizhi.

"It's you," Yan Quezhi seemed very busy, "Now wherever you have the ability to develop resources in Changhua, you have to transfer them to Taiwan." To engage in industry, you still need to have a population. Resources and jishu alone are simply not enough to see.

"What did the Planning Institute do when you were transferred here in a hurry?" Fang Jinghan said strangely.

"The first is to train students," Yan Quezhi pointed to a few young students around him who were manipulating high-yield equipment and instruments, "and secondly, to see if it is possible to use the water transportation capacity of the Changhua River. Then we have to think about the future of ore transportation. ”

Although the shipping value of the Changhua River is very low, the amount of water and water energy is much larger than that of the Wenlan River in Lingao. According to the data of the 20th century, the annual runoff of the Changhua River alone is cubic meters, while the runoff of Lingao County is only 700 million. It can develop 40,000 kilowatts of hydropower resources, which is 30 times more than that of Lingao, which is very advantageous from the perspective of developing hydropower. It's a pity that there is no development capacity in the short term.

"That said, water is also important to us. Changhua is rich in mineral resources, and it can be turned into an industrial and mining base in the future, which requires a large amount of water resources. ”

The task of the team was to find out how much water and water energy could be used in Changhua in the 17th century, and what kind of help the Changhua River could provide for Hainan's industrialization.

Changhua's agricultural potential is not large, the county's arable land is only 340,000 mu, and the soil fertility is worse, in addition to having certain advantages in water and heat resources, are not as good as Lingao and other places in Qiongbei County.

"Can you send someone to take us to Shiroku in a few days?" Yan Quezhi asked suddenly.

"I can take you there." Fang Jinghan said, "But what are you going to Shilu for?" The last geological survey should have been done thoroughly. ”

"Or to explore the terrain."

Another task of the Swallow Bird is to take the students to Shilu to explore the terrain between Shilu and Changhua Fort, and see if it is possible to build an improvised road or railway.

The purpose was not to mine the local iron ore, and with their current industrial capacity and steel production level, it was impossible to support such a large-scale project, and the reason why the Planning Institute was eager to understand the transportation conditions and try to build a road was because they took a fancy to the dolomite mine in Shiroku.

Dolomite plays the role of a flux in modern pig iron smelting, which can improve the quality of pig iron and reduce coal consumption. In the modern steel production process, tens of kilograms of dolomite are consumed for every ton of pig iron produced, and after the Mayuan Iron and Steel Complex is put into operation, about several hundred tons of dolomite are needed every year.

There is a dolomite mine with a reserve of 12 tons and a grade of 192Ul 1 km south of Shilu Town in the old time and space, and it is impossible to fully develop it, but a small amount of mining and supply of Mayuan steel body for production can still be done. According to the assessment of the Planning Institute and the Ministry of Industry, according to the data, the dolomite mine in Shiroku is not deeply buried, and can be mined by hand and simple machinery, and if the demand is not large, it can be mined intermittently.

After the mining of dolomite ore will involve the problem of foreign transportation, Wu De considered building a simple road in the local area, even if it is not considered for the future development of Shiroku iron ore, there is a demand for mining a small amount of copper, gold and other metal ores associated with Shiroku. The construction of roads also helped to extend the tentacles of domination deep into the interior of Changhua. Develop and radiate the surrounding area.

The Planning Institute also asked Kong Lingyang to try to establish a permanent outpost in Shilu: "The Rising Star Flag must fly over Yayuling every day!" "Ensuring the presence of the local regime.

According to the information provided by the Li people, almost every year, some foreign Han Chinese hired Li Min as guides and porters to venture into the Li area, deep into Shilu, trying to mine the local copper ore or, more fortunately, to mine gold. Although few of them succeeded, few were able to find the veins correctly. However, indiscriminate mining and digging everywhere, and smelting in small clay kilns, seriously damaged the local resources, especially disrupted the exploration team's exploration. The Planning Institute will not tolerate this. Since Li Haiping's time, people who have gone to Yayuling to steal copper mines have been caught: every year, there is an endless stream. Therefore, cracking down on illegal mining is also one of Kong Lingyang's tasks.

With roads, posts were stationed, patrols were on the roads, control over the areas along the route was established.

"You don't have to go in person, send a few Li people to lead the way, but didn't you recruit a lot of Li soldiers?" Yan Que Zhi said, "Go back for a few days, you all have jobs, it's not good to delay."

"If it weren't for the fact that they had just enlisted in the army, it would have been nice to send them directly to Shiroku, Hongxiang native. Climbing mountains and mountains and drilling forests are all good hands. No one can hide from it. Mu Min said.

"Even if he has been serving for ten years now, he won't be able to do it," Fang Jinghan shook his head, "Locals don't serve as soldiers locally, this is the basic principle of forming an army." ”

For a local security force like the National Army, the Senate is still reluctant to be formed by all locals, let alone the combat troops in which Jin Huan participates.

The recruitment of Jin Huan into the army was met with a backlash from Wei Aiwen in the afternoon: it was not that he thought the quality of these recruits was not good, but in his opinion, this was a serious violation of him, the director of the General Political Department, who often forgot that his department was the authority of the Political Department of the General Staff.

Mu Min retorted that as a member of the recruitment team, she also had the right to decide who to recruit and who not to recruit, and the mission book did not clearly indicate which department or a certain veteran was in charge. From Mu Min didn't need to ask Wei Aiwen for instructions to decide certain things.

The argument between the two continued until Kong Lingyang reappeared, and he invited several elders to the kennel to have a look and "guide the dog breeding work".

Mu Min had little interest in dogs, but Wei Aiwen was very interested, and the Haitian reconnaissance team was ambushed by the natives in Taiwan, and dogs played an important role. More and more internal guard tasks now require dogs to replace some of the sentinels.

In the past, Kong Lingyang cooperated with the army when he was in college, and knew that the warning range of a well-trained military dog was basically similar to that of 5 soldiers. Well-trained military dogs are good helpers for tasks such as fighting against the mainland, chasing down defeated soldiers, guarding equipment, and deterring mobs.

The newly built kennel is located in a fence outside Changhua Fort, where breeding dogs transferred from Lingao are kept.

Kong Lingyang knew very little about dog training. Yang Guigui has always been in charge of this business, but the rapid expansion of the dog population in the Nanhai Farm has made it necessary to change the breeding and breeding of military dogs, and can no longer stay in Lingao, where land resources have begun to be tight. As a result, Lingao's dog farm was split into two parts, the working dog training remained in Lingao, and the dog breeding moved to Changhua. Yang Guigui Jihua and others trained their first batch of naturalized students, so they also moved the training base to Changhua.

The breeding dogs are mainly from the Olympic family brought by Yang Guigui, and Yang Guigui was selectively brought to serve as a working dog breeding dog. Later, a number of dogs brought by other patriarchs were added, including the Labrador retriever of the Qian brothers, which was also captured from Sanya as breeding dogs.

In order to rapidly expand the population, Yang Guigui and Kong Lingyang adopted the method of separating the puppy from the big dog immediately after weaning and changing to artificial breeding to strive for the big dog to give birth to a bō dog as soon as possible. As a result, the population is expanding rapidly.

Yang Guigui also selected some dogs with better genes for crossbreeding. Through continuous breeding and gradual elimination, Zuihou has formed a considerable dog population. Although there are only a dozen or so that can be used as grandfather breeds, there are more than 100 dogs of appropriate age who meet the conditions for working dogs.

Although the quality of the first few batches of dogs is average, they are indeed the golden age for training, and when they grow up, they are not suitable for training and can only be sent to the Senate to make hot pot. And Yang Guigui couldn't be busy alone. He then adopted a simplified training model to subdivide the work and reduce the number of training items for each dog, reducing the workload. Train a batch to send a batch of work dogs to various departments quickly.

Some of the dogs have been trained by Yang and have been allocated to the army, police and internal affairs departments. Soldiers and policemen patrolling "with big dogs" have become a sight to behold in the counties. At the mines in Sanya, military dogs watched over the thousands of slave laborers in the mines.

But dogs, while gaining the favor of the violent sector, are also suffering from institutional problems. Dogs and horses are different from pigs, chickens and ducks and other meat animals that are fattened and slaughtered, but are used for a long time. Once integrated into the army or an agency, it is relatively better to have a supply for them and specialized breeders. The problem of the supply of horses and dogs can be solved by each department itself, but it is not easy to solve the problem of human staffing.

Yang Guigui was established in the Committee of Agriculture, and dog training was not the main business of the Committee of Agriculture, and he could not select a number of people from the labor assigned by the Committee of Agriculture to learn his dog training skills. These formations have to be implemented in the army.

Kong Lingyang invited Wei Aiwen to visit, just to persuade Director Wei and these military leaders to sort out the establishment of a military dog team as soon as possible, and allocate some people to learn how to raise dogs and train dogs. In particular, he had to find a few apprentices for Yang Guigui to inherit his mantle of dog training: this is what he repeatedly told Kong Lingyang to help solve.
