The meeting of the heads of each department redefined the responsibilities of each department in the next relocation operation, and proposed to clean up the material inventory of each department.

Immediately after the meeting, Li Xiangqian got in touch with Li Shanglong through the radio and told the other party about his decision, and Li Shanglong once again expressed his welcome.

Early the next morning, a delegation led by Wei Bozhi and composed of some department heads personally went to the Shenzhen Safety Zone for on-the-spot inspection.

The arrival of the delegation was very well received. The high-level leaders of the Liberation Army were all dispatched, and Huang Fanding personally accompanied the delegation to visit the achievements of the Liberation Army at the present stage. In fact, it is the route of Li Xiangqian's last visit, but there is more time and the process of visiting is more detailed.

The highway from Xin'an to Lo Wu is nearing completion, and the road from Lo Wu to Kowloon via Tuen Mun has also entered the reconnaissance stage.

In the afternoon, Ma Angelica specially arranged a performance to report the training results of the new barracks. After this period of training, these nineteenth-century peasants finally had the appearance of a little soldier, and the military posture would no longer be hunched over, and the turn would not be indistinguishable from left and right. Seeing the phalanx of infantry companies passing in front of him, Wei Bozhi praised Huang Fanding: "Chairman Huang, it has only been more than a month to have such a big momentum, I have to be admired!" ”

"Where? Where? Huang Fanding said modestly: "Instructor Wei has won the award." There is nothing to praise for our achievements, in fact, we still have many shortcomings, but it means that you can make up for the shortcomings in all aspects after you join. Huang Fanding's words are not untargeted. In the past month or so, the Liberation Army has only engaged in some infrastructure construction, and industrial and agricultural construction has not yet been seen, which is also caused by the nature of the two cities of Dongguan and Shenzhen. Shenzhen pays more attention to the development of commerce, and the factories are mostly located in Bao'an, Longgang and other districts outside the Guan, and there is no agriculture at all, and the city's ban on pig breeding has caused the survivors to never eat fresh pork after the catastrophe; Although Dongguan is known as China's "X capital", the manufacturing industry is also very developed, and agriculture is somewhat of a bit, although pig breeding was also banned, but the ban was later lifted. This has also caused more survivors in Shenzhen to engage in trade and finance, and more survivors in Dongguan to engage in industrial technology. In addition, during this period of time, the electrical energy of the Liberation Army was completely obtained through diesel generators, and the diesel fuel that consumed the blood of industry made the Liberation Army have a headache. The survivors were not able to rebuild the oil industry in the 19th century in a short period of time, so diesel fuel was used a little less. Several of the survivors of the Humen Safety Zone have become treasures of the former Humen power plant technicians, and with them, the relocation and reconstruction of the thermal power plant can be put on the agenda.

For the urgent needs of the Liberation Army, Zhao Chen, Gao Dawei and others are already well aware of it, and there is a vast stage waiting for them, which makes them feel impatient.

At nightfall, the Liberation Army held a banquet in the large canteen to entertain the delegation. said that it was a banquet, and the dishes were only two meat and two vegetarian dishes, four dishes and one soup. At present, the Liberation Army does not have the ability to fish and eat big meat, and in front of everyone's eyes, the leaders do not dare to engage in specialization. However, for the delegation that has lived on canned luncheon meat, mustard, soybeans and radishes for several months, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes is a delicacy.

Although the dishes are average, the wine is good. Regardless of whether it is national liquor such as Moutai and Wuliangye, or foreign liquor such as Remy Martin and Hennessy, it is measured in tons in the material warehouse of the survivors, so various beverages such as alcohol are things that the survivors can enjoy openly.

After three rounds of drinking, Huang Fanding first raised his glass to congratulate. "Comrades, although we are here today because of the cataclysm, I have to say that it is also a kind of fate. Although the disaster is a tragic thing, it has happened, and we are powerless to change it. However, we must always look forward in life, and since God has given us a chance to start over, we should grasp it tightly. We are all from all over the world, and we have come together for a common goal of survival. We also have to go down this path with all the Survivors. Today we already lead a base area with a population of more than 100,000 people, but it is not enough,...... In difficult times, our comrades must see the achievements, see the light, see the hope, and enhance our courage. In the nineteenth century, the Chinese people were suffering, and it is our responsibility to rescue them, and we must work hard. …… However, we should try to minimize those unnecessary sacrifices. …… Everyone in the team should care for each other, love each other, and help each other. Strive together for a better tomorrow! Cheers! ”

Ma Angelica next to him quietly asked Shen Xing, "Why do I sound so familiar with this passage?" ”

"Of course it's familiar, you didn't learn it when you were studying? This is a passage from Lao Mao's "Serving the People", rhubarb has changed it slightly, but it is still compatible with today's situation. Shen Xingshi replied with a chuckle.

After the host toasted, the representative of the guest, Wei Bozhi, also raised a glass to the host. "First of all, thank you for your hospitality, I've almost forgotten the taste of tomato scrambled eggs." The little humor caused a burst of laughter, but there was also a little helplessness and sadness in the laughter. "All social activity outside the safe zone has stopped, and some supplies are desperately scarce, so there are many people who regard the outbreak of the cataclysm as the end of humanity, and then become decadent, crazy, hysterical, and more ferocious than mutants. But there are many more who have not given up hope, and who have held fast to morality, law, justice, order, and the belief that peace and tranquility will come again, as we all are. It is precisely because of the experience of this period that we cherish a society where morality, law, justice, and order exist even more, and rebuilding such a society will be the goal we strive for. Although the road will not be easy, we should be confident that there will always be a successful day. Come! Raise your glass, cheers to our common cause! ”

"Cheers!" Compared with the draft prepared by Chairman Huang in advance, Wei Bozhi's impromptu speech was more level, which made Ma, Shen, Li and others nod secretly.

The banquet gradually reached its climax, and the guests and hosts freely combined and began to do some substantive exchanges. As a soldier, Wei Bozhi also communicated with Ma Angelica, Shen Xingshi, and Li Shanglong. The two sides first introduced their own situation, the commander-in-chief Ma Angelica was only a veteran, and it turned out to be a security cadre of a state-owned enterprise; The political commissar had the longest party history when he applied for the party, and he used to work as a youth league committee in a large state-owned enterprise; Li Shanglong, the chief of staff, is a manager of a large foreign company who has only read a military book and has only read half a bucket of water. On the contrary, Wei Bozhi, who seems to have the lowest position, is an active soldier who graduated from a military academy with the rank of captain, and has experience in political work in the army.

After listening to Wei Bozhi's introduction, Shen Xingshi said happily: "Great." I have always been troubled by the political and ideological work of the army, and it will be fine in the future, and the work in this area will be handed over to you, a professional, and I can also end up with ease. In the future, the political and ideological work of the Liberation Army will trouble you! ”

Wei Bozhi was confused by the sudden proposal of "abdicating to let Xian" when he applied for the trip, and he was a little caught off guard. "Political Commissar Shen, you are too polite! In the future, we will all be comrades, and it is appropriate to help each other in our work, and there will be no trouble. ”

Ma Angelica understood what he was saying with his old partner. Today, the authority of the ruling party is gone, and the character of Shen Xing is relatively weak, and it is difficult to convince the public among this group of young people who are strong and strong, and this political commissar has no real name. So he was not very surprised when he suddenly offered to give way. And, on the other hand, he was also in favor of the way he did it. The merger of the two security zones also involves the merger of two sets of leadership teams. Although the Liberation Army has the home advantage, it must also give up some leadership positions to avoid causing rifts between the two sides. When he applied for the office, he took the initiative to relinquish the post of political commissar, so that the two sides could be considered to have reached a balance on the side of the army. Where there are people, there is politics, and politics is the art of compromise, and making concessions to the morality of the Liberation Army can also increase the bargaining chips for the subsequent "negotiations". So Ma Angelica smiled and said, "This matter is not in a hurry. Lao Shen, even if you want to pick a pick, you have to let Political Commissar Wei have an adaptation process before taking over, right? You can't just leave your job all at once, can you? The implication is that he clearly supports the abdication of the petition.

Li Shanglong is also a clever person, and immediately guessed the thoughts of several people, so he raised his glass. "Everyone hit it off at first sight, for the sincere cooperation in the future, a toast!"

Several high-ranking military officers in this room were chatting happily, and several civil affairs officials in that room were also testing each other. This time, in addition to Li Xiangqian staying at home, most of the heads and brains of the Humen Security Zone participated in the inspection group, and Tan Fei and Wu Yizhi, the directors and deputy directors of the management committee, were personally accompanied by Huang Fanding to communicate.

"Chairman Huang, what is the government structure of the Liberation Army?" Wu Yizhi couldn't wait to ask.

"We haven't established a government yet, and I, the chairman, have the same position as the director of your management committee, and I am a big steward." Huang Fanding explained. "And our first priority now is to defeat the British, and only in a peaceful environment can we carry out our construction with confidence."

"I think we should get in place as soon as possible. Without a political entity, all administrative orders will be nameless and cannot establish their authority. So I think we should have a political entity as soon as possible, even if it is to set up the Xin'an County Government first and put up a shelf! Wu Yizhi has already regarded himself as a member of the Liberation Army, and began to make suggestions for the Liberation Army, and at the same time to plan for his own "official position".

Seeing Wu Yizhi pointing fingers there, Tan Fei, as a companion, also felt a little ugly, so he diverted the topic. "The formation of a government is a serious issue, and it cannot be decided hastily, or discussed later!" Then he turned to Huang Fanding, "Chairman Huang, now that we are all a family, we should also contribute to the war against the British, if you see what we need to do, please do whatever you want." ”

"We can't talk about orders, we all work together to defeat the British invaders as soon as possible." Huang Fanding is very satisfied with Tan Fei's attitude, doing things first and then talking about the conditions, this is the attitude of sincere cooperation. "The Liberation Army is still relatively abundant except for weapons and ammunition, but according to history, the large force of the British army should not return in half a month, so we still have time to prepare. The comrades of Humen can move over first, after all, this side is always safer than the original time and space, and the construction of the base also needs professionals from all sides. ”?

"Is this information accurate that the British army will return at the end of the month?" Wu Yizhi asked.

Chen Jianhua, who has been promoted to policy adviser to the management committee, explained: "This information is accurate only when history does not change. The original history is that on May 20, the British and French forces bombarded the Dagu Fort, and the Qing troops stationed in each fort fought back, and the war broke out. Tan Tingxiang, the governor of Zhili, abandoned the defense and fled, and the artillery facilities were outdated, isolated and helpless, and Dagu fell. On the 26th, the British and French forces marched up the Baihe River, invaded the outskirts of Tianjin, and threatened to attack Beijing. On June 13, that is, the day before yesterday, the Qing government hurriedly sent another scholar Guiliang and a scholar of the Ministry of Ministers Hua Shana as ministers of the Qin Mission, and rushed to Tianjin to negotiate peace. Under the coercion and intimidation of the British and French invaders, Gui Liang and others signed the "Treaty of Tianjin" with Russia, Britain, France, and the United States. We clashed with the British on May 12th, and a month later, I think the news should have reached the north. And this month is not enough to affect the war in the north, I think that the history to the signing of the "Treaty of Tianjin" is still the same as the original, so the British army will come back with a large number of men and horses after the treaty is signed, which is also the basis for us to conclude that the British army will not return in half a month. ”
