823 Federal Army
Fortunately, this time, several ladies just muttered a few words and stopped speaking - and Wang Gong Du Na and Cao Limei, who participated in the discussion, did not speak.
Yu Hewei's approach is divided into three aspects:
The first is to support more wharf loading and unloading equipment on Zixia Island, for the wharf in the upper reaches of the Heishui River, it is enough to provide two simple manpower winch crane cranes commonly used in the red wharf.
The second is to renovate the navigation of the Heishui River, so as to use larger inland river transport ships - Yu He suggested making full use of the forest resources on Zixia Island to build a large flat-bottomed sand boat, this kind of boat has a shallow draft and is very simple, according to Yu Hewei's statement, it is more accurate to call the thin-skinned and large-stuffed boat skin - the wood for this kind of boat does not even need to be put aside to dry, and there is no need to polish and level, directly sawn the wood, lay the iron bars supported by the Red Mansion to make keel and dragon ribs, and then connect the wooden planks with iron nails and falcons, and then seal them with tung oil fish bladders. Then you can go directly to the water and use it as a ship - as long as the carrying capacity of each ship does not exceed two tons, it will not sink, and it is enough to build a dozen of it, anyway, the Heishui River is calm and the water is gentle, and it is obvious that this ship will never go to sea.
The third is to build a railway of less than one kilometer, connecting the pit and the Heishui River wharf, the railway uses the human-powered rail cars commonly used in the limestone mines on Mornington Island, and uses a small carriage as a transport wagon - since Boss Luo used the third-generation industrial mother machine to create a simple bullet bearing, Shuguang Machinery Factory has long been familiar with the production of such vehicles.
Yu Hewei believes that this is the most economical plan that we can meet the needs of all parties under the existing conditions, as long as these three items are realized, then Zixia Island should produce 30 tons of coal per day under the existing labor conditions.
Wei Dongli immediately expressed his support after receiving President Yu's response, for which he also assured that if these three projects are completed, there will be no problem in quadrupling the coal supply of the coal mine, and if another 100 coal diggers are added, the coal burning side of the Nicole will be fully covered, and as for other hybrid ships, such as the Pride class, there will be no problem at all.
At the end of November, this series of projects began - the coal wharf in the upper reaches of the Heishui River, the construction of flat-bottomed sand boats and the construction of railways began at the same time, and the main force of the work was the garrison led by Ren Ke Li Dewei.
Immediately afterwards, the ambitious Li Junming and they engaged in a "Medium and Long-term Plan for the Urbanization Construction of Zixia Island", but this plan was reported to the "North Fund" Council and there was no response, so Li Junming came forward to find his wife to ask about the situation, Xia Xiaoou's answer was: The council thinks that your plan is big and inappropriate, and the only merit is about building a road connecting the port of Zixia Town to more than a dozen settlements in the north, this matter is under discussion, and now you can do it yourself if you have the conditions, if there are no conditions, then it is okay for him to do it after the establishment of Chengdong's railway company.
Because you interrupted the road along the east bank of the expanded Heishui River, which basically runs parallel to the railway line that runs north and south of Zixia Island, and is both a necessary road for the construction of the railway, and a transportation artery connecting Zixia Town with the open-pit coal mine.
When the traversers first landed on Zixia Island, the crew of the Nicole built a dirt road with a shovel and pickaxe that was only three meters wide, and now there are more than a dozen village-like settlements on both sides of the road, and the road has changed from a dirt road to a cinder road.
Now, Li Junming and his family plan to build this road into a gravel road and widen it to six meters, and soon after, the road will be widened again into a 12-meter-wide concrete pavement, which will connect several large market towns along the way, and eventually this concrete road will evolve into a town street - this is Li Junming's long-term plan for Zixia Town and several villages to the north - but the Federal Ministry of Finance said: There is no budget for this for the time being, you can do it yourself.
Li Junming, who was helpless, had no choice but to go back and discuss with his brothers, but fortunately, Ren Ke's garrison soldiers were the main force of the Heishui River-related projects, and there was no problem in expanding the road by the way, so the road was finally built.
Now Ren Ke and Li Dewei and the soldiers of the garrison not only have to take turns for military training, but also work on the construction site in shifts.
By the end of November, the Zixia Island Garrison had expanded to 800 men, and it will soon increase to more than 1,000 men, and it is expected that by the first half of next year, the Zixia Island Garrison will have eight fully equipped infantry companies -- a total of 1,600 guns.
By the way, in the past month or two, there have been many happy events for Ren Ke.
First of all, his book "Operation White Lightning" was approved by the Bundesrat, and although it ended in a no-brainer, it was clear that the plan of action would almost certainly be implemented by that time – only that the degree and intensity might be adjusted, and that would be enough for Renke and his club in the firepit.
The second good thing is that Sun Lao has already submitted a bill to the Bundesrat - to formally form the Federal Army by the end of the year, and the initial plan is to establish three infantry brigades, which is obviously a plan set up to take into account the reality of the current three overseas territory garrisons.
It is said that the Zixia Island Garrison, which is mainly composed of Han people and has the best recruitment base, will be renamed the First Mixed Brigade of the Federal Army, and the brigade commander is undoubtedly Ren Ke.
The Bundesrat was very interested in Mr. Sun's personnel proposal, and there were many discussions saying that Mr. Sun should strike a balance between the fire pond club and the vegetable garden club, and in any case, it seemed that this was a good personnel arrangement, so these appointments were likely to be approved by the Bundesrat.
Obviously, Su Gaofei, who was sent to Xin'an City as the deputy governor, and Fang Linyou, who was the deputy captain by Wei Hong's side, must also be candidates for deputy brigade commander and brigade chief of staff, and as for the Wanshan Islands, Lan Bo and Wang Liwan must also have similar job arrangements.
Sun Lao also said about the number of the infantry brigade, in addition to Ren Ke's first brigade, Wei Hong's Xin'ancheng garrison will be given the official name of "the second mixed brigade of the federal army", and Xiao Ai will soon be promoted to the commander of the third mixed brigade of the federal army.
Sun Lao's suggestion was enthusiastically supported by the members of the Huotang Club for no other reason - the "Federal Army"! This name is very stylish and can be forced.
Ren Ke's third good thing was brought by Yang Qiaoqiao---- she planned to arrange another room maid for Ren Ke - because Ren Ke's other two concubines were pregnant one after another, and one of them was about to give birth, and Ren Ke was strong-blooded, and he tossed Boss Yang enough and was full of tricks for a while, so Boss Yang, who was virtuous and came home, decided to find another maid for his husband, so that he could also take a breath.
This maid is not the original sister of Liping Courtyard, but from the women's village.
Now the women's village can be said to be thriving in Zixia Island, mainly thanks to the full support and care of Governor Li Junming and Ren Ke - it's embarrassing not to take care of it.
Because the women of the women's village are very good at adapting to the local customs, they are very supportive of the underage girls and teenage Huanghua girls in the village going to Zixia School, and they have no objection to the concubines of several of the girls who soon became the "big officials" of several Australians.
