Section 132 Shadow of the Ship
The weekly meeting of the Executive Committee on the Fengcheng Wheel is underway. The regular weekly meeting was originally held in the conference room of the Executive Committee compound, but recently the infrastructure of various departments has been done well, and it has been replaced by departments with the conditions to receive it in turn, and now it is mainly hosted by the Committee of Agriculture, the Ministry of the Navy, the Ministry of Health, and the Communications Center, which has just completed a three-story communications building.
The executive committee members, the leaders of the professional groups and the consultants have just finished enjoying a dish of milk and honey ice cream made from the ship's cold storage, with lots of diced tropical fruits - both honey and fruits brought back by the remote exploration team.
Just as he was eating with relish, a person suddenly broke into the door.
"Bosses! The ship's radar detected a fleet approaching! β
Chen's response was the fastest. "Who's at the radar?"
Two minutes later, the phone was connected to Lelin.
"Report the location and number of the other party?"
"Uh, in the bottom right corner of the screen......"
"It's not for you to say that, report the azimuth, distance, speed or something."
"Ah......h Several of the officers on duty around were also dumbfounded.
"It's called Mondstadt!"
"He's not thereβ"
"Where have you been?!" Chen Haiyang was about to get angry, when he suddenly remembered that it wasn't Mondstadt on duty today, "I'm coming." β
Everyone hugged each other. I saw that there were five or six light spots on the screen, and they were moving at a very slow speed, and from the course they did not intend to approach Bopu Port. The collision avoidance radar on the freighter was represented by a very intuitive floor plan, and after referring to the reflected waves from the land, Chen Haiyang roughly determined that the target was about six nautical miles east of the port.
"What ship?"
"One is relatively large, hundreds of tons." Chen Haiyang looked at the radar screen for a while, grabbed the microphone and called Li Di on the fort, asking about the observation of the sea surface.
"There is no moonlight in the sky, and you can't observe the situation, do you turn on the searchlight?"
"No, not yet." These ships are 6 nautical miles away, and searchlights do not have this distance. He looked at Ming Qiu, "Do you think this is preparing to infiltrate?" β
Mingqiu nodded: "A night without stars and moons like this is indeed a day of smuggling and infiltration. β
The traverser's control over the Bopu is limited, whether it is an observation post on the fort or a lurking post on the seashore, there will always be a large number of observation blind spots. Not to mention the large mangrove forests along the coast, which are simply natural infiltration channels.
"Send someone to search the waterfront with night vision equipment."
"There is a reconnaissance detachment stationed here in Beiwei, and I will call him immediately."
Ma Qianzhuo saw that they handled them very properly, and there was nothing more to say, he had a feeling that he, the chief of staff, was relatively empty here in the navy. Ma Qianzhuo felt that the army officers wearing unified first-year-style military uniforms were cuter than the people in front of him wearing all kinds of navy uniforms of different ages and nationalities, and there were not so many babbling false shows. When the ice cream was brought up, he noticed that the sailors were still wearing white gloves - they were indispensable everywhere.
"Do you want to bring in an infantry platoon?" Ma Qianzhuo proposed.
"Yes, we only have a marine company here, and we have to take care of the ships, and we don't have enough troops." Chen Haiyang was unequivocal. This finally reassured Ma Qianzhuo -- it seems that the dispute between sea and land has not yet reached the point of acting in a spirited manner.
After waiting for a while, the radar screen showed that the ships did not move in any other way, but continued to sail slowly on the side of the Leizhou Peninsula at a speed of 2~3 knots.
It was also inconvenient for the navy to send ships out for temporary inspection at night, so it was decided to only strengthen observation for the time being. At the same time, additional lurking posts in key areas will be dispatched.
At the end of the meeting, Wu De declined the invitation to stay overnight on the Fengcheng ship, feeling that it was more comfortable to stay at the Bopu camp - the beds on the ship were too small.
The camp is now a base, with rows of brick houses in its tents, paved roads, and biogas lamps along the road illuminating the camp - a facility that doesn't even have the biogas digesters in Bairen City, which is much larger but has been mostly used by the canteen. The rudimentary natural baths beside the river beach are gone. Although he moved to Bairen Commune at an early age, the Indian-style tent he set up in the woods near the camp clinic on D-Day remained. Every time he came to Bopu, he had to pull out the grass, clean the tent, and stay here for a few days by the way - it was like a vacation, and the environment here was really good, out of the woods was the beach and the rocky reef, leeward to the sun, and there were no mosquitoes.
Walking past the still lit Bopu Health Center, the medical tent has also been converted into a two-story brick and wood building. The path leading to the "villa" has been groomed and carefully paved with gravel. He laughed a little awkwardly, it is really a good thing to be an official.
The "villa" is no longer an Indian-style tent, but a much more comfortable thatched hut. This is what he built with his own hands: wooden beams and pillars, bamboo fence walls, straw mud on the outside, bamboo mats on the inside, mud on the ground, and a thick new straw on the roof, exuding a fragrance. The craft of building a straw house in the countryside has not been abandoned. On one side of the house facing the sea is a straw-roofed verandah, and on the other side there is a fire pit made of bricks. When you get tired of eating in the cafeteria, you can cook some wild food here, and by the way, you can also entertain friends who can talk. The table and a bed inside were sturdy and durable, bought from the women's cooperative.
The room was very neat, there were not many things but they were in order, and there was a porcelain vase on the table that was not in harmony - it would have been worth at least 100,000 RMB in another time and space, and now there was a large canopy of wild flowers, which Wu De knew was the first rain to do - since this girl had come to the Bo shop with him once, she would come almost every three or five days to help him clean up the villa.
Since the first rain came to him, he was ready to entrust him with a lifelong appearance, taking care of his life and daily life diligently, and several times he was still rubbing in his bedroom before going to bed, his face was like a peach blossom. Wu De never started. It's not that he can't sit still, and look at women* and not be moved. It's just that the first rain looks too young, and some can't get started, and now everyone has no life secretary, and it doesn't have a good impact on taking the lead in engaging in women.
Got off the boat, a little hungry, just Ma Qianzhu said that he wanted to come to drink and chat, just get some seafood, I haven't eaten seafood for a long time. Wude stretched down, took off his coat and hung up. Drag a wooden box from behind the bed and unlock it. In addition to sleeping bags and other bedding supplies, there is also a complete set of emergency supplies for survival in the wild, all of which are well organized. At the bottom is a black canvas gun pouch. Inside was a 56 semi-rifle and two cartridges. In the event of an accident, he can pick up his bag and pick up a gun to survive on his own - these days, you have to trust the organization and trust yourself.
Take out the lantern from the box, a nylon net with an opening of 2 meters, put two sturdy poles on both sides, and use it by falling on the stone at one end. Just as he was about to go out, he saw Ma Qianzhuo pacing over, still carrying a rattan basket in his hand.
"What's that?"
"Wine. Waiting for you to make a late-night snack. β
"Yes. You wait a minute. β
When he went out to the bay, he took the fishing net to waist-deep sea, opened the net and drove the rod deep into the mud, and then went to the shore to bring a stone and press the bamboo pole. Hang a lantern on another pole and wait for the crabs to come. This fishing net is a robber net, the mesh is as dense as a sieve, even if the Sea Dragon King hangs it, it will be finished, the small fish will hang directly, and the big fish will be tighter and tighter. The most amazing thing is that this nylon net is not rotten for thousands of years, and there is no need to cook at all.
I smoked a cigarette on the shore, walked to the place where the net was lowered, and there were already seven or eight crabs in the net, put on thick canvas gloves to remove the crabs, took a sharp wicker to put on all the fish and crabs, and then went to the bay to pry some oysters, and then turned back to the villa.
He returned to the eaves of the porch and hung up the lantern, and added some firewood to the firepit, and the fire was booming.
"There's no pot here, no oil and salt, so let's eat grilled crabs."
Take out an iron grill for barbecue and rest it on the stone, break the crab, and roast it with a large lid, and put the oysters directly on it. After a while, a few oysters popped open their lids and were steaming hot. A fresh fragrance spreads out.
"Come, drink." Ma Qianzhuo poured wine into the enamel cup - this is a locally produced rice wine, the degree is not high, but the taste is average. Wu De himself can also make wine, and he also brought wine medicine, but now that food is still an important material, it is a little too early to make wine before the first grain harvest of the traverser.
The two mainly talked about the current dispute between the navy and the army, and Wu De was also very aware of this issue, although nothing happened at the moment, and the cooperation between the two sides was still in place, but there were already signs of it.
"This matter is still the beginning," Wu De drank slowly, "At present, the army is still small, and the resources are sufficient, and when it enters the army expansion period in the future, you see, there will be a toss." β
"I also think there are some signs that the army is getting out of control right now." Ma Qianzhu stared at the flames in the fire pit and whispered, "Especially the navy." β
"Hmm." Although the problem of his background made Wu De reluctant to speak ill of the navy, he also experienced the feeling that Ma Qianzhuo said.
"It's not an internal guard nowβ" Mr. Wood said.
"It's only 20 people, so it's not very useful. It is still necessary to start from the balance of power. β
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"Well," Ma Qianzhuo casually threw an oyster shell aside, "If you don't give the army a hedge, it will be funny to make a military junta in the future!" β
"It's not that exaggerated." There was a nervousness in his heart, he was not a fan of democracy, but a military regime was clearly not a good thing.
"Right now, I want to talk to Mingqiu more, he is a veteran soldier and a party member in the past, so he should have this awareness. With him, the young Zhuang faction in charge of the navy will not make too much trouble. β
"I thought so too!" Wu De agreed, "Army, you can talk to He Ming." β
"Yes, so I'd like to ask you to play a little bit more. You are also an old navy. Ma Qianzhu said sincerely.
I'm waiting for me here, Wu De thought. But originally he also had this meaning, and immediately agreed.
"Actually, don't be too nervous, everyone is still very good, although there are some disputes, they are all for the collective, and there are no selfish distractions, and it is the first time in decades that I have seen such a neat collective." "Today's battle was good, and the army performed very well. And a lot of prisoners were captured. β
Ma Qianzhuo snorted: "I still want to talk to you about this." He picked up a crab leg, blew it, and gnawed it, "This battle is won." β
