After dinner, Bai Baoxiang, Qian Shuiting, Wang Tiezhu, and You Renyi walked together, came to the Ershawan Fort, and climbed to the top of the fort.

The cannon on top of the fort had been removed, and a new pavilion had been built on top, with a brick and stone table, on which the soldiers had already placed fruit and tea, and around the table were chairs made of rattan.

Each of the four sat down with a chair and enjoyed the view of the bay.

At this time, a burst of artillery rang out in the direction of the southwest Lion Ball Ridge. This is the infrastructure construction corps firing artillery in the opening of the mountain. Panda led his men to dig simultaneously from both sides of Lion Ball Ridge to prepare for the excavation of a tunnel for the passage of trains.

Bai Baoxiang didn't care about the sound of the cannon at all, he leaned back in the chair freehand, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the coolness of the sea breeze, "It's still Taiwan, it's winter, and you can still enjoy such a comfortable sea breeze." ”

"Lao Bai is not right! If it encounters strong cold air, this Keelung is also cold and gloomy. Lin Youde objected, and he walked up with Wang Xie Tang and Mao Pi.

Lin Youde said, "If you want to talk about comfort in winter, you can count Sanya and Southeast Asian island countries." ”

When it comes to Sanya and Southeast Asia, he can't help but think of iron ore, Sanya and Southeast Asian island countries are rich in iron ore resources. Our development is still too slow, we lack an army, we lack human resources, or we can sweep through Southeast Asia now.

"Lao Lin never forgets the Shilu Iron Mine in Sanya." Wang Tiehammer said with a smile, "Don't worry, as long as there is one year, the Guozi Bachelor Officer Teaching Team will be able to train 3,000 army backbones, and I will pull 100,000 troops at will." When the time comes, we will grab you wherever you want! ”

"Where, I'm not in a hurry at all." Lin Youde hurriedly covered up, "The Taipei Iron and Steel Plant is still making preliminary preparations, and it will take at least half a year to complete the infrastructure and build a small blast furnace when the three links are leveled." ”

Bai Baoxiang nodded, "Yes, industrialization and economic development are not as simple as playing games, and if Taiwan wants to initially implement industrialization, we still need to wait for a year." ”

The dock number drifted along with the sea breeze. Lin Youde glanced at the direction of Ershawan Wharf, and only rested for a moment after dinner, and the crowd unloading there began to be busy again. He sighed, the steam hoisting machinery is installed at the oil truck port wharf, and this side can only rely on the original loading and unloading means carried by people.

"I should be able to unload the goods tomorrow!" Bai Baoxiang also noticed the direction of the wharf, "The duty room said that another batch of cargo ships from Hong Kong Huafu Foreign Bank will arrive at the port tomorrow morning." ”

"It should be fine!" Lin Youde's confidence is a little lacking, "This primitive method just won't work, and when Huafu Foreign Bank transports the steam engine, I will immediately replace this wharf with mechanical loading and unloading equipment." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, there must be a process of development. If you really want to make a big leap ~ advance, then you will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort. Bai Baoxiang tactfully persuaded Lin Youde to take it easy.

"Lao Bai, although industrial development is the most urgent, but the most calm and scientific is also our industrial mouth." Lin Youde heard what Bai Baoxiang meant, but he realized that the planning committee and a group of powerful people were conducting research and deduction on computers every day, and the industrial development roadmap drawn up was absolutely scientific, reasonable, and efficient.

It didn't take long for Wang Xie Tang and Mao Pi to come up together.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Yunlan jumped up and ran, "It's late, it's late!" Accompanying the elderly to eat is troublesome. ”

"Come on, Xiaoyun." Everyone thought of their parents who were far away in a different time and space, "It is a kind of happiness to have the elderly by your side." ”

Staff Officer Dong Jianheng came running to report, "Chairman Bai, the short-wave radio station in the combat command room has been debugged, and the communication signal with Shanghai is normal. ”

Bai Baoxiang looked at his watch, "Let's go, it's almost six o'clock, don't let Gu Wusheng wait for us in Shanghai." ”

In the operational command room of Keelung's Ershawan Fort, Wang Tiehammer read through a telephone record to the executive committee members.

This was an urgent call from the 4th battalion guarding Dajia Creek, and they reported that they had found that various villages on the south bank were moving abnormally, and pillboxes and trenches were being dug everywhere, and the entire south bank of Dajia Creek had become a large construction site.

Wang Xie Tang also reported the news that Jin Yiwei had gotten, saying that Zhang Zhongxing, the prefect of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, had escaped from Zhuqian City two days ago, and this guy was dismissed from his post by the Manchu Dynasty, so Jin Yiwei was not overly concerned, and it was reported that as soon as he crossed Dajia Creek yesterday morning, he fanned the flames everywhere, proposing to "defend the land and defend the homeland", and fooled the gentry and merchants of Changhua County against the Ming Dynasty.

Bai Baoxiang said with a smile, "Zeng Guofan's housekeeping skill is 'to build a hard village and fight a dumb battle', this Zhang Zhongxing can also be regarded as a capable person, and he actually mobilized the gentry and merchants of Changhua County in one day, and made all the people soldiers, and the walls were cleared." ”

Yun Lan scolded fiercely, "Paralyzed, I didn't forget to work for the Tartar after I was dismissed, this traitor is more hateful than the Tartar." ”

"The fact that there are many people who rise up against us is not necessarily a bad thing." Lin Youde grinned, "The property of organizers, leaders, and active participants will be directly confiscated. At the very least, the land purchase will allow us to save a large amount of silver dollars. ”

Lin Youde shook his head as he spoke, as if he was very sorry, "Although we are not short of money, the economy is very rich. But some people just don't want us to pay for it. ”

Some members of the executive committee spoke more cautiously, "As far as I can see, the regimental training can blow up the green battalion." 'Defend the land, defend the homeland', as soon as this slogan is shouted, the township will be even more fierce, and we must attach great importance to it. ”

Some people simply suggested changing the military plan and taking southern Taiwan now. lest the townsmen and the earth bravely build all the fortifications, and the casualties of the troops will be great.

"It's fine!" Wang Tiehammer is very calm, "The landlord's earth fence is not so difficult to beat, what we have is a heavy weapon, as long as we open an opening, rush in." Now we are thinking about the Tartars to engage in all the soldiers, and our comrades can easily die because of benevolence and righteousness. ”

"Then let's kill a batch of him, catch a few typical examples, kill the head, and the work will be easy to do in the future." Bai Baoxiang was very simple, "How can there be anyone who doesn't kill people when he fights the country, he dares to kill and will kill, so as to establish his authority." ”

In the end, the executive committee members agreed that the troops could train their officers and men through small-scale battles, and that the large-scale march would still have to wait for three months later, when the trainees of the crash course in military and political affairs for the national army and politics had been completed, and that there were enough grassroots cadres, and then they would all take over southern Taiwan.

At the same time, the meeting also set work goals for the near future, comprehensively stepping up the building of party organizations, speeding up civil affairs work in northern Taiwan, strengthening propaganda work, steadily developing industry, stepping up troop training, and strengthening control over the Taiwan Strait.

Before the meeting ended, Bai Baoxiang made a suggestion. He said that Yunlan will go to Taoyuan in two days, and he will also be responsible for the work of the Keelung County Party Committee, and the major and small matters of the Central Committee of the Rejuvenation Party need to add a director of the General Office, who will be responsible for uploading and disseminating, as well as managing daily affairs. In addition, a propaganda department has been set up to grasp the propaganda work.

After the meeting, Bai Baoxiang returned to his dormitory and office, took out the cadre roster from the drawer, and slowly flipped through it.

The Executive Committee has just approved his proposal to set up the General Office of the Central Committee of the Baath Party and the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee. For the position of director of the General Office and head of the Propaganda Department, Yun Lan, head of the Organization Department, put forward several candidates, and Bai Baoxiang also had several candidates in his mind. But he was afraid that he had missed something, so he flipped through the roster of cadres again.

The Diaoyutai Guest House was only a few minutes away from the Ershawan Fort, and Ren Xuefeng, director of the Policy Research Office of the Ministry of Rites, put down Bai Baoxiang's phone and shook it step by step.

"Comrade Ren Xuefeng, I am ready to recommend you to be the director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee."

"I can't do it!" Ren Xuefeng simply refused, "The director of the General Office of the Central Committee is a good position, but it is not suitable for me!" ”

This is not the first time Ren Xuefeng has refused to work arrangements, as a master's degree in international relations and a bachelor's degree in management, he has many jobs to choose from, but Ren Xuefeng is only willing to hide in the political research room of the Ministry of Rites.

"You really don't want to work in the Central Committee?"

"Chairman Bai, you know me, what I want to go to most is the Academy of Social Sciences." Ren Xuefeng smiled, "The director of the General Office of the Central Committee belongs to the big housekeeper, and there are countless trivial matters around you all day long, I really can't do this." If I am asked to write an article and do some strategic deduction, it will be fine. ”

"Alright! There's also a dance and ink job here. Bai Baoxiang looked at Ren Xuefeng with a smile, "The Party Central Committee lacks a head of the Propaganda Department, this is a job of writing articles and conducting research, I believe you will not refuse again." ”

"Bai Baoxiang, what tricks are you playing for me!" Ren Xuefeng glared at Bai Baoxiang dissatisfied, "Wenxuan also found me." ”

For Ren Xuefeng, Bai Baoxiang still knows a lot. He once sent Bai Baoxiang a study report on diplomatic strategy and strategy toward Japan written by the Political Research Office. The analysis of the study report is good, and the Executive Committee's diplomatic work plan basically adopts the ideas of the study report. It's just that steel is going to be used on the blade, now that the situation in Taiwan has been rolled out, and the manpower is so tight, how can Ren Xuefeng stay out of the matter and just want to be a carefree strategist? !

Bai Baoxiang spread his hands, "Including me, the six executive committee members will go down to the grassroots counties and make every effort to carry out the party building work." Now that the Central Committee is short of manpower, I need a director of staff, and I also need a director of the Central ~ Propaganda ~ Department, and one of the two must be chosen. ”

Ren Xuefeng choked for a moment and shook his head with a wry smile, "What about the work of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"You can continue to work part-time in the Political Research Office of the Ministry of Rites."

"Okay. I can do the work of propaganda. ”

Ren Xuefeng is a little helpless, he is a lazy person, although he likes history, political economy, and strategy, but he just likes virtual deduction, and he also wants to deduce his war chess by participating in the crossing team, so that people can verify it in reality. If you want to say that you will enter the phase, Ren Xuefeng is interested, and it is better to find an elegant place, make a pot of tea, and dance and ink to be comfortable.

Ren Xuefeng thought for a while, "The work of the Central ~ Propaganda ~ Department must be well planned and planned, nationalism is bloodline, the second is legal system, the third is Taoism, and there are also scientism and socialism, these propaganda must be studied carefully." Internal propaganda is one statement, Manchu propaganda is another, and propaganda in Europe and the United States is another. ”

"Right thinking." Bai Baoxiang approvingly, "I said a long time ago, you will definitely be able to do it." ”

By the time Bai Baoxiang returned to the Diaoyutai Guest House, it was almost nine o'clock.

Yunlan's parents live on the first floor of Building E05, on the edge of the small pond in front of the building, Bai Baoxiang found Yun Dongming and asked him to temporarily help take charge of the work of the Central General Office.

Yun Dongming is a veteran of the navy, and he has worked in the Naval Aviation Headquarters for a long time, so he is very familiar with the handling of the affairs of the organs. He readily agreed to Bai Baoxiang's invitation and agreed to temporarily take charge of the management of the daily affairs of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee during the period when the executive committee members went to the grassroots level.
