Chapter XII: Implementation of Resolutions

After the end of the enlarged meeting of the Committee on the 29th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the relevant resolutions taken at the meeting also began to be implemented. According to the nomination of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Huang Hai was appointed commander of the "Flying Dragon Army" in maritime operations, and Xin Feiyu became his deputy -- his former position as commander of the artillery battalion was transferred to Zeng Zhilin. In addition, some veterans of the "Flying Dragon Army" were also drawn out as the first batch of fighters of this newly formed unit.

However, because the "Flying Dragon Army" has always focused on land warfare, and has never been involved in naval warfare or even water warfare, and has no knowledge of navigation and sailing, and now the crossing team does not have any ships except for a few small fishing boats used by salt farmers to go out to sea to fish and improve their lives, so although the veterans of the "Flying Dragon Army" who have been selected are slightly water-savvy, their main training and life can only be carried out on land until the team has enough and large enough ships. At most, it's just an occasional fishing boat that goes out to sea for a short spin and experiences what it's like to sail on the sea.

In fact, even if the crossing team had enough ships, these veterans who had never operated a boat before would only be able to act as combatants, not as operators of the ships - after all, the process of going from a novice who knew nothing to an old sailor who could operate a ship was by no means a day or two, a month or two months. Moreover, as a military branch with very high requirements for jishu, the so-called "hundred-year navy" is by no means an exaggerated metaphor, but a true portrayal of the development of the navy, and it is absolutely impossible to build a strong navy overnight. Therefore, in a sense, these veterans of the "Flying Dragon Army" who were selected are not so much here to be in the navy, but more appropriate to be marines.

Of course, in the face of this lack of Jishu talents, especially in navigation and shipbuilding, the crossing team will not be afraid of difficulties. While they try to get the most out of their brothers, they also turn their attention to the locals. On the one hand, the committee and the military department asked the brothers of the Yellow Sea and the Ministry of Science and Technology to do their best to sort out all kinds of knowledge and materials related to navigation, shipbuilding, naval construction, naval development, naval warfare, and so on that they had learned in their previous lives, and on the other hand, they recruited local people with knowledge and experience in navigation, shipbuilding, and other related fields through some local gentry and merchants who were familiar with each other to work for themselves. These recruited locals were all under the unified leadership and command of the Sailing Jishu Group composed of a number of traversers led by Huangshan Mountain of the Ministry of Science and Technology, providing various jishu support for this newly formed force.

In this way, the navigation and naval concepts of the two eras can be concentrated for the use of the crossing team, so that it can build the foundation for the development of the "Flying Dragon Army" navy as soon as possible

In addition, because Huanghai was originally subordinate to the Ministry of Security, it was also responsible for providing security support for the "Kaifeng Detention Center" at this time. Therefore, in order to minimize the impact of Huang Hai's transfer on the security work of the "Kaifeng Detention Center," the committee, while passing the resolution on establishing a maritime combat Liliang, also decided that Cheng Fei, the head of the Second Section of the Ministry of Security (in charge of the security work of the "Jingyuan"), would immediately leave for Kaifeng and replace Huang Hai as the security director of the "Kaifeng Detention Center" -- the position of the head of the Second Section of the Security Department of Cheng Fei would be represented by Yang Xin. When Cheng Fei arrived in Kaifeng, Huang Hai could return to Youzhou and begin his new work after completing the handover with him.

The creation of the "Flying Dragon Army" naval operation Liliang could not be officially launched until the Yellow Sea had traveled thousands of miles from Kaifeng to Liangxiang, but the construction of the new industrial zone did not need to wait. From the beginning of October of the seventh year of the calendar, as the Ministry of Finance paid a large amount of money to the Ministry of Science and Technology, a flat valley in a mountain valley about five miles away from "Xianglong Fort" became a huge construction site. The construction team sent by the craftsman alliance who was responsible for the construction of the "Liangyuan" and is now building the "Xianglong Fort" took over this major project - the previous "Liangyuan" project and the current "Xianglong Fort" project made these people gain the trust of the crossing team at the same time, but also tasted the sweetness from these two projects, so when the crossing team proposed to build a new project, the two sides can be said to hit it off and soon reached a new cooperation agreement. Moreover, the energy of these craftsmen is indeed huge, and while continuing the big project of "Xianglong Fort", they can still gather enough people to participate in the construction of the new industrial zone without delaying the construction period. ,

On the day when the foundation stone of the new industrial zone was laid on the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, Gao Jun, Xing Zhengnan, Chang Mao and eleven other fourteen and five-year-old half-grown children arrived at the "Qingyuan" together.

The first thing these dozen or so teenagers did after entering the "Qing Garden" was to greet the people who lived in the "Qing Garden" -- for Gao Jun, it was the younger brother to see the elder brother, for Xing Zhengnan and Chang Mao, it was the younger generation to see the elder, and for the other teenagers, it was the subordinate to see the master.

After the ceremony, Zhang Weixin said a few words on behalf of the brothers, which can be regarded as an encouragement to these young people, but also as a spur to them. Subsequently, Zhang Weixin announced the work arrangements of these people.

Among them, Gao Jun, as one of the traversers, is the first on the list. According to his previous academic performance and personal wishes, Gao Jun was arranged by the team to first intern with Song Feiyang, who is in charge of the general retail industry, in the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, and then develop in the direction of catering and entertainment industry or luxury industry after having certain practical experience and mastering certain business knowledge and skills.

Xing Zhengguo, as Wang Kunjun's righteous son, is one of the younger people in this group of teenagers, plus Zhang Xiaofei pitied his life experience, and hoped to keep him by his side to take care of him, and was unwilling to let him set foot in the shopping mall or battlefield too early, so he was placed second on the list and was placed in the field he was originally the least likely to enter - the Ministry of Intelligence.

Of course, at the age of 13 or 4 years old, it is impossible for Xing Zhengnan to really participate in the work of the Ministry of Intelligence. The committee's arrangement mainly took into full account of Zhang Xiaofei's opinions, so that she could take care of Xing Zhengnan and continue to teach him all kinds of knowledge. As for whether Xing Zhengnan will remain in the Ministry of Intelligence after he completes the necessary studies and becomes an adult, it depends on the situation at that time.

In third place on the list, Chang Mao, who was born in a military family, was unsurprisingly assigned to the army as an errand - this is also his first choice. However, at Chang Shengjun's request, Chang Mao was not assigned to the cavalry battalion with him as the deputy commander, but into the Third Infantry Battalion with Wang Baoshan as the battalion commander, as a small squad leader -- according to the meaning of the Military Department, Chang Mao wanted to be arranged to be the deputy of the main company. But Chang Shengjun considered that his son was still young, although he had been practicing martial arts with him before, and after entering the reserve liliang training class, he learned a lot of new knowledge related to combat, but after all, it was all on paper, and he had not participated in even the most ordinary and smallest battle. If he becomes a company deputy in the main force company as soon as he comes up, the result is either that he cannot stand in the company and leaves on his own, or because he cannot meet the conditions necessary for a company deputy, he has nothing to do in this position and is a vegetarian.

The other eleven teenagers basically went to four major areas: one was to join the Ministry of Commerce and Trade and learn to do business; the second is to enter the military department and the "Flying Dragon Army" to learn military training and combat; the third is to join the Ministry of Science and Technology, relying on the scientific knowledge he learned in the training class to be apprentices to several traversers; Fourth, and Zuihou's choice, is to enter the Ministry of Intelligence and act as a telegraph receiver, spy, secret spy, and so on.

Once the work was organized, the Committee gave the juveniles three days off to allow them to relax. Xing Zhengnan and Chang Mao, who had a holiday, didn't care about resting and returned to their homes to visit their parents. Among them, Chang Mao immediately returned to Chang Shengjun's house in Liangxiang City after the holiday to meet his mother - Chang Shengjun has military affairs, and usually lives in the "Feilong Village", and he doesn't go home much. This time, because he was catching up with the "Flying Dragon Army" to expand the army again, Chang Shengjun was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and he had not returned home for two or three consecutive months. Therefore, Chang Mao only saw his mother when he came home from vacation this time, but did not see his father. As Xing Zhengnan, who is the son of Wang Kunjun, although he is eager to see his mother, he still controls his homesickness, and after staying with Wang Kunjun and Zhang Xiaofei for a day, he hurriedly rushed back to the "Flying Dragon Village" to meet his biological mother who still lives there - since Xing Zhengnan left the "Flying Dragon Village" two years ago to live by Wang Kunjun's side, especially after entering the reserve Liliang training class, the mother and son have met no more than five times, and the mood of waiting to meet can be imagined.

On the first day of the 11th lunar month of the 7th year of the Ying calendar, one month after the "Navy Proposal" was passed, Huanghai rushed back to Liangxiang City from Kaifeng under the escort of several personal guards. ,

For Huang Hai, who was a naval officer before the crossing, it has always been his dream to have the opportunity to return to his old profession and go to the sea again. Therefore, after hearing that the crossing team intended to form their own sea liliang and appointed himself as the commander of this liliang, he and Cheng Fei, who rushed to Kaifeng, set off immediately after completing the formalities, and rushed for half a month along the way.

After entering the gate of "Qingyuan", Huang Hai just briefly freshened up, and then went directly to the small conference room regardless of the fatigue of running along the way, and went to see Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin, who were already waiting there, and his eager mood could be seen.

After listening to Zhang Weixin's brief briefing on the adoption of the so-called "Navy Proposal" at the enlarged meeting of the relevant committee, Huang Hai left the small conference room with the "Liliang Development Plan for Maritime Operations" drawn up by the Military Department, ready to embark on this huge and arduous task.

On the fifth day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar in the seventh year of the Ying calendar, Huang Hai, Xin Feiyu, Huang Shan, Yuan Aiguo, and Zhong Tao, five traversers, led dozens of shipbuilders and sailors recruited over the past month or so to be escorted by a squad of personal guards and a company of "Flying Dragon Army" -- Originally, Huang Hai and others thought that they only needed to accompany them in person, and there was no need to send "Flying Dragon Army" to escort them, but in view of the recent increase in the number and number of pirates in the vicinity of the Tanggu Salt Works, the committee still sent a company of infantry to accompany them to protect them, just in case they left." Qingyuan", and went to the Tanggu Salt Works, three hundred miles away, preparing to find a suitable place near there to build a naval base and a shipbuilding base.
