readx;???“ According to aerial photographs and reports of approaching reconnaissance, some of the New Army prisoners in the camp had starved to death because they had not been adequately fed for a long time, and most of the remaining were half dead. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info copy URL visit" Xiao Mingwei put several photo booths on the stage of the slide projector, and one photo after another was projected onto the screen, "It is foreseeable that after the battle, we need to move these New Army prisoners out safely without causing damage to them." ”

"It's not difficult, is it? Is it okay to let the militia and the people carry it on a stretcher in the back? ”

"It's not easy, it's quite a long distance, I've heard that it takes more than ten kilometers to reach the prisoner of war camp after crossing the river, how far do you think people can carry things and run?"

"If there are two people, then at least nearly three hundred people must be prepared, and because there is no mature road, even if we rescue the prisoners, we must carry them back to the pontoon bridge on foot through the dense forest by the river, this operation will probably be quite difficult, at least every two kilometers must rest, otherwise the physical exertion of the people will be too great, and there will definitely be other unexpected troubles."

"But can we think of another way to get people out? For example, with a cart. ”

"The carts are not good, in this anti-bandit operation, the carts of the logistics troops cannot enter the jungle, and all the logistics soldiers and civilians carry them in on their shoulders. If you want to bring these captives back, carts are suitable, but they can't make it through the jungle. ”

"More than ten kilometers, walking the dead."

"We can build a small road through the jungle and transport it to the river, but we can't build a road on the Annam side."

"Why not? Easy roads should still be fine, right? ”

"I can't use it in a short period of time, and I need special machinery, and we now have gasoline, although the oil is still not qualified, but it can drive the vehicle."

As he spoke, a car roared past the neighborhood, "Now the transportation team has resumed car transportation, but their main job is to transport crude oil from Guangrong Ridge, and then send the refined refined oil to various positions that are needed." I'm afraid I won't be able to spare my hands to transport people for us. ”

"What? Crude oil still needs to be transported by car?? Someone exclaimed, "Aren't they all transported by pipeline?" ”

"Where are we going to get the pipes now? Any idea how many meters of pipe it takes to get here from Glory Ridge? It is also more than ten kilometers, and it is also a pressure-resistant pipeline, using a large seamless steel pipe, we can't even make a small seamless steel pipe now, and there is no rubber gasket, the oil transportation pipeline must be leaking oil everywhere, it is better to use a car to transport. ”

"Not to mention, now the construction team is laying tracks to Guangrong Ridge, and it is estimated that it will be completed around June, and it will be able to be transported by train by then, which is far lower than the loss of cars, and the carrying capacity is much larger."

"So how on earth are we going to transport these New Army prisoners?"

"Let's carry this." As he spoke, a man stood up. Everyone was stunned, this person was wearing a red military uniform that was completely different from their own. At this time, some people remembered that not only the army, navy, and air force of the Senate participated in this rescue operation, but also several officers of the new army in Champa Port. These officers had risen from the ranks, and therefore felt quite inferior in front of this group of aristocratic Chinese senators, and had not spoken much since they entered, and they all sat in the corners of the room.

The next slide frightened them again, they had never seen such a clear and real picture, and there were even pictures that were clearly drawn in the air, which made them dare not say much, so they were quickly ignored by the senators.

Now it was Niu Jinxing who stood up to speak, "My life belongs to the New Army, and there are still two hundred brothers in our New Army, and now the entire New Army is ...... to what the eagle dogs of the imperial court have done" As he spoke, he glanced at the scrawny captives on the slide, "Don't share the sky, this time we will definitely charge forward and kill this group of loyal and treacherous beasts!" As for those imprisoned brothers, we will carry them, and we will definitely not embarrass the elders. ”

Xiao Mingwei laughed lightly, took off his glasses and walked in front of Niu Jinxing, "Your new army is a combat unit, and there are important combat missions for you in this operation, don't worry, the prisoners of the new army are also the focus of our senate's attention, and it is not the responsibility of the combat troops to transport them out safely, it is only the discussion stage now." You must know that our Senate army is a large fighting collective, and as long as everyone does his own thing according to his own orders, everything will go smoothly. ”

"And what is our responsibility?" Ruan Wenyu couldn't help but stand up nervously, "Let's prepare early." ”

"Don't worry, isn't this being discussed?" Li Jieqi on the side couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied, but it couldn't dampen their enthusiasm.

"But......" As soon as Ruan Wenyu's words came out, he was rudely interrupted by Qian Longzhou, "No, you are a soldier, obey orders!" You both sit down for me! ”

"Yes!" Ruan Wenyu and Niu Jinxing hurriedly stood upright, and then sat down. Xiao Mingwei was stunned for a while before he burst out laughing, "Xiao Qian, the training is good!" ”

Qian Longzhou's current identity is actually quite embarrassing, although he still belongs to the survey team, but he is the manager and supervisor of the princess fund, and he is the actual manager of the new army in Champanggang. When the patriarch chatted in private, he often said directly that he was a colt. Originally, as a member of the survey team, he didn't need to participate in this meeting, but now that the new army will be involved in this battle, then someone is needed to coordinate the Senate army and the new army.

It was very abrupt to see a man in civilian clothes sitting in the middle of a large group of people in military uniform, but there was no way at the moment, and the new army coordination could only let him come, after all, he had set it up single-handedly.

"If you want me to say, don't we have a track being laid towards Glory Ridge?" Qian Longzhou stood up and said, "We might as well use this track, this track is extended to the west, and now it has been laid to about three kilometers, during which we need to cross a large area of jungle, we can invest more manpower to lay the track near the river, so that the train can go to the place close to the river, and then transport people and equipment to the river through the train." In this way, in order to save the loss of manpower and equipment of the combat troops, even the building materials and ships of the pontoon bridge can be transported by train. In addition, even if the prisoners were rescued from Annam, as long as they crossed the river, the prisoners and wounded could be carried onto the train, where they could be treated and sent all the way back to Beiqiaotou Town. ”

At this time, the Dongfang Port was already laying a railway network, and there was a special passenger line from the Yancun Industrial Zone to the simple railway station outside the west gate of the Dongfang Port, and then continued south to Beiqiaotou Town. Due to the impact of the espionage incident, most of the Medeno workers have been quietly transferred from various technical positions at this time. Now the passenger lines can play a huge role, although these passenger trains are only four cars, each less than 20 meters long, but they can transport hundreds of people at a time. Such a terrible power amazed the rich people of Beiqiaotou Town, and many people even went to the train station to set a table for the train to worship the train, thinking that the train was a dragon descending to earth.

After a few popular science educations, the wealthy businessmen also discovered that this was just a tool. But the speed at which the all-steel cart dragged so many people at full speed on the steel tracks still made them staggering, and soon the train ride became a recreation for the wealthy merchants. Although the black smoke from the coal burning of the train and the water vapor emitted by it are uncomfortable, many wealthy businessmen like the feeling of "galloping" at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. And the cost of a penny ride is not a difficult thing for them at all, so they often sit from the starting station to the terminal, and then sit back and forth from the terminal station to the starting station.

Soon the Commerce Department discovered this phenomenon and, at their suggestion, added another carriage to the rear of the train. This carriage is not like the previous carriages are empty window frames, but installed glass windows to shield the outside moisture and soot, the carriage is also laid with carpets, the seats are not as compact as the previous carriage, but more relaxed, the seats are also padded with cotton wool under the wool wool, the ride is much more comfortable than the wooden stools in front. In addition, a retail counter was set up in the corner of the carriage, which placed a lot of snacks and drinks such as salt soda, melon seeds and peanuts.

This carriage quickly caused a sensation, and wealthy businessmen began to organize groups to brush up on luxury carriage tours, although the tickets for the luxury carriage were a dime at a time, but the servants who came to line up early to buy tickets still crowded the ticket counter. The rich are not short of money, but they lack the means of pleasure, especially now that they have escaped from the port of Champa and are settled in the town of Qiaotou. New houses are still under construction, and the living quarters are extremely simple, making them miserable one by one, but now sitting in luxury cars has become the only opportunity to show off their wealth and enjoy the life of a squirrel, so even if the ticket price is more than ten times that of ordinary cars, wealthy merchants who come to take luxury cars are still flocking to them.

However, passenger trains are not the whole of the railway network, the main body of passenger trains is to transport workers to the industrial zone, and there are every 15 minutes, and four trains are enough. However, there are many more trains transporting industrial raw materials and finished products, and there are two freight trains from the freight station in Yancun Industrial Zone to the terminal cargo station, which start to transport goods back and forth before dawn every day, and only have time to stop for maintenance at night. Since all the tracks are laid on a single track at this stage, each train must wait for the train occupying the lane to leave before it can depart, otherwise there will be a risk of collision. Therefore, a signal station will be set up every two kilometers along the road, and these signal stations will manually send a signal to the dispatching station every time they pass a vehicle, and then the dispatching station will notify each station to depart, during which everyone is meticulous, because once an accident occurs, it is likely to be a major accident. The pressure of the boiler on the front of the Puma car is not small, and if it explodes, it is at least the equivalent of a ton of TNT explosion, and it is conceivable that the veterans in charge of railway safety are always worried in their hearts, and any message must be repeated twice before they dare to give the next order.

In response to this situation, people in the railway department have also reported that they want to build a double line next to the existing railway, so that the road will not be occupied back and forth, and the safety must be greatly improved. However, the Executive Committee submitted the proposal to the ministerial meeting for discussion and rejected it. There are several reasons, the first is the lack of manpower, the most important task at this stage is to lay the railway from the West Station of Dongfang Port to the Glorious Ridge, the lack of manpower can only give priority to the construction of this railway, you must know that the next through the railway will transport building materials and oil refining equipment to the Glorious Ridge, and strive to extract the oil directly in the local refinement, and transport the finished product by railway, so as to increase efficiency; As for the second item, it is still insufficient materials, although the rails used to lay at this stage are substandard products in the old time and space, but in terms of production at this stage, it is still a very heavy work. The steel output of Dongfang Iron and Steel Plant has indeed increased with the expansion of production scale, but this improvement is tantamount to a drop in the bucket under the comprehensive rollout of the construction of the entire Dongfang Port. Every day, the people of the Planning Commission are faced with the influx of steel parts like sea water, and if they want to lay double lines, it means that the steel mills will have to increase their output to a higher level. At this stage, the steel is not qualified and is not suitable for a large increase in production, just like the large steel smelting in the era of the big convulsion, the local method of steelmaking is not good, so it can only be used by the people in the train dispatching department to continue to pinch their noses and be more careful.

============================= divider =============================

"Big brother! Where are you going? Seeing Chen Xiaomao walking out in a short suit, the cousin at the door was a little stunned. Go to Dongfang Port, there should be a shuttle bus to pass by the door of our Zhuangzi, by the way. ”

"What is the eldest brother doing at the beard man?"

"It's going to start raining in a while, and our rice will be planted, but the grain team hasn't come yet, so I have to ask."

Chen Xiaomao was the first person in the entire Anyun territory to sign a contract with the Senate's Ministry of Agriculture to outsource farming, and since the mass exodus of his short-term tenants to Dongfang Harbor since last year, it has become clear that this year's spring planting will be a big problem. Since the sale of grain last year, he tentatively asked Du Yande if he could pay some workers from the Senate to help him farm and take care of the fields, and he received an affirmative answer. Then he had a long negotiation with Sun Wenbin, who received a phone call, and signed an agreement on the same day. In the agreement, it was agreed that from the spring of 1629, the agricultural department of the Senate would contract all the fields owned by his Chenjiazhai for cultivation, but that the fields and water conservancy construction should be reconstructed to a certain extent according to the requirements of the agricultural department, so as to increase the convenience of field management and increase yield, and Chenjiazhai should not interfere with them.

But now that spring planting is about to begin, there has been no movement on the side, which makes him look a little anxious. So I got up early today to see that there were no clouds in the east, and it should not rain, so I went to Dongfang Port to ask what was going on.
