Chapter 557: Inspecting the Nanyang Collar (1) (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and various !! )
On May 15, 1941, Chen Feng secretly flew to Nanyang Collar by special plane, which was Chen Feng's second time difference Nanyang Collar.
Nanyang Collar. Port Moresby Airport.
As the huge body of the Hercules fighter plane landed at the airport, Yan Changxi and the others' expressions became excited, for a long time, although they all knew that the Nanyang Collar was the private property of the Chen family, and it was also the last retreat for the brothers who followed Chen Feng.
But there are still many people who feel that they have been exiled by Chen Feng, the commander, except for the occasional report to work, they can get a word or two of Chen Feng's instructions, and they can hardly hear any sound at other times.
On this occasion, the Nanyang Consular Council issued a secret notice requiring all senior military and political officials to report to Port Moresby immediately, and no one could take leave.
After they arrived, they were told that the real master of the Nanyang Territory, Chen Feng, the commander of the Eighth Theater of the Republic of China and a first-class general of the army, was going to inspect the Nanyang Territory and asked to meet them by name.
After the fighter plane stopped, a group of soldiers in dark green uniforms came down first, and then more than 20 guards wearing black uniforms, black masks, and only eyes and noses were out, and the last one to appear in people's eyes was Chen Feng, who was dressed in military uniform.
As soon as Chen Feng got off the plane, Yan Changxi, Wang Hansheng, Hu Yi and others greeted him, and the first time he saw Chen Feng, Wang Hansheng shouted loudly: "Salute!" ”
I saw that all the military and political officials at the scene saluted Chen Feng with a standard military salute, Chen Feng immediately returned the salute, and then said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard!" ”
Yan Changxi smiled and said, "Husband, I flew for a night." I guess you're hungry too, breakfast has already been prepared in the house, so what's the matter after eating? ”
"Hahaha, the world has the biggest meal, okay, then let's go back to the house first, you guys go together, let's go to the house today to have breakfast together, and we'll have a meeting after eating!" Chen Feng said with a smile.
Under the leadership of Yan Changxi, the group walked towards the Nanyang Lord's Mansion.
The Nanyang Lord's House was built in the heart of Port Moresby. It covers a wide area. There are more than 40 acres, but it is quite simple, and it looks like a secret military camp from a distance, except for a small three-story building in the middle. Everywhere else are rows of neatly built bungalows.
In fact, it is indeed a military camp. It is the headquarters of the Nanyang Military Region and the headquarters of the 1st Army Division. The entire army headquarters surrounded the Nanyang Lord's House in the middle, so the Nanyang Lord's Mansion was actually a huge military camp.
Breakfast was simple, a bowl of polenta, two tortillas, an egg, 2 unknown fruits. It's simple, though. But it tastes sweet.
After breakfast, Chen Feng brought all the senior political officers of the Nanyang Consulate to the conference room of the Government Council, and asked the senior officers of the Nanyang Military Region to wait in the conference room of the headquarters first, and he wanted to have a good chat with these administrative officials first.
In the conference room of the Government Council, Chen Feng took a closer look at these senior government officials in Nanyang Ling, and found that he didn't know many of them, most of them were fresh faces, and some people who were transferred to the United States by him also appeared here.
Chen Feng smiled at Yan Changxi and said, "Great Lord Yan, don't you introduce these elites to me first?" ”
Yan Changxi's face turned red and said, "David. Kopodol, your appointed director of agriculture, is now the vice president of the Government Council, in charge of agriculture, water conservancy, and transportation. ”
"Bols, your appointed director of commerce, is now the vice president of the Government Council, in charge of commerce, finance, foreign affairs, taxation, and finance!"
"Kuller. Bavaria, your appointed director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, is now also the Deputy President of the Government Council, in charge of civil affairs, education, health care. ”
"Long Jian, now he is also the vice president of the Government Council, in charge of industry and urban planning and construction!"
"Quiet, director of the Nanyang Consular Secret Bureau, in charge of internal security, intelligence collection and analysis, telegraph ciphers, etc."
"You haven't seen the rest, they are all new heads of various departments and mayors of various cities, let them introduce themselves to you!" Yan Changxi said.
"Okay, let's start by seat, starting on the left. When you introduce yourself, you should not only tell us your name, age, and where you are from, but also your personal experience and current work. When you introduce yourself, you can speak in Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Russian and other languages! Chen Feng said.
A yellow man sitting at the head of David was the first to stand up and say, "Dear Lord Lord, my name is Richard, and I am currently the director of the Bureau of Agriculture, I am a Chinese-American, and my great-grandfather immigrated to the United States one hundred and twenty years ago. I graduated from Harvard University with a major in agriculture. ”
"Richard, you speak Chinese very well, since you are the Minister of Agriculture of the Nanyang Territory, then let's talk about the current agricultural situation of the Nanyang Territory!" Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Good sir, as you wish! Nanyang is an equatorial rainy climate zone, the climate is hot and the rainfall is large, forming a tropical rainforest, the land is mostly covered by mountains and tropical rainforests, and the agriculture mainly includes tudou, sweet potato, coffee, cocoa, copra, copra, palm oil, rubber, timber and seafood. Last year, we began to promote large-scale rice planting in Nanyangling, and in one year, we reclaimed a total of 500,000 acres of high-quality paddy fields and harvested 150 million catties of rice. ”
"But because of the influx of poor people in the South Seas, who have no property, the island's food supply is very scarce. Many people have less than a pound of food a day, and have to go deep into the forest to catch animals or pick wild fruits for a living. ”
"There is a food shortage on the island, what is the solution of your agricultural bureau?" Chen Feng asked again.
"According to the statistics at the end of last year, the island has a permanent population of 3.5 million people, and consumes more than 2.5 billion catties of grain every year, in addition to 150 million catties of rice, you can also pick about 1.3-1.5 billion catties of potatoes, sweet potatoes and bananas and other crops from the island every year, so the food gap on the island is about 1 billion catties or more."
"Last year we imported 500 million catties (250,000 tons) of wheat and corn from the United States, and 300 million catties of barley from Australia, barely guaranteeing that the inhabitants of the island would no longer go hungry, but there was still a long way to go before the happy life that Mr. Lord assured the Jews. Therefore, this year, the goal set by our Agricultural Bureau is to achieve basic self-sufficiency in grain on the island. Richard replied.
"Basic self-sufficiency? This goal is not small, it is not easy to increase the production of one billion catties of grain at once, how do you plan to achieve this goal? ”
"Mr. Lord, in fact, we don't need a billion catties of rice or barley now, but a billion catties of food that can fill our stomachs, so this year we plan to concentrate on 2 million people to open up wasteland, high-quality paddy fields are of course mainly planted with rice, which is for the sake of the future development of the Nanyang Territory, and the remaining dry land or mountainous land is planted with yams, sweet potatoes and corn, and a large number of fruits such as bananas."
"In addition, there is a large area of grassland on the island, which is very suitable for raising cattle, sheep and horses, as well as chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, so we decided to import a large number of cattle, sheep and pigs to the United States and Australia from this year to supplement the island's meat, and also organize the people to go out to sea to fish during the slack time."
After listening to Richard's words, Chen Feng thought carefully and said: "Well, the feasibility of planning is very high, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are all high-yield coarse grains, taking sweet potatoes as an example, this crop does not have very high requirements for land, the general yield of spring potatoes per mu is 3,000 catties, and the yield of summer potatoes per mu is 2,500 catties. ”
"Your Excellency, although your words are very reasonable, I have to remind you that although the sweet potato has a high yield, it is difficult to reach the yield of 3,000 catties per mu you said, and the yield per mu of our test field in Lae last year was only 2,200 catties." Richard reminded loudly.
Chen Feng smiled and said: "You can rest assured, your Ministry of Agriculture only needs to organize the residents of the island to open up the wasteland, as for the sweet potato seedlings, I will leave it to others to do, as long as there is no irreversible natural disaster, 3000 catties per mu yield is just the lowest standard, if you work hard, it is not impossible to reach 10,000 catties per mu." ”
Although the yield of sweet potatoes is also divided into regions, the average yield of spring potatoes per mu in China in later generations is about 3,500 kilograms, and the yield of summer potatoes per mu is 2,500 kilograms of red skin and white flesh. Like some high-yield spring potato high-yield fields, the yield per mu can even be as high as about 5,000 kilograms, so it is not a legend to say that the yield per mu is 10,000 catties.
