Chapter 292: New Establishment
Yan Shao is not an animal protectionist, in his opinion, no matter how important animals are, they cannot be as important as people, so no matter what he does, he is first 'people-oriented', and first puts improving the standard of living in the first place, but if he just watches an animal go extinct...... It's a shame too...
What's more, the so-called standard of living, looking at more cute animals is actually a kind of thing, right?
Otherwise, there are only human beings left in the whole world, or some animals that have been turned into domestic animals, and that kind of thing is too boring. At least Yan Shao wouldn't like that kind of worldly realm.
Unlike giant pandas, white-sided dolphins can be said to be a voice that will almost go extinct if left unchecked, because the waters they live in are the busiest body in Chinaββββββ Yangtze River.
The reason for the extinction of the white-sided dolphin is simple, first of all, overfishing, which makes these creatures hungry without adequate food supply. In addition, with the advancement of science and technology, the ancient ships owned by the Yangtze River in the past have gradually been phased out, replaced by new ships based on steam or other power, the Yangtze River is China's busiest transportation waterway, many white-sided dolphins were killed and injured by the propellers of the boats, coupled with a large amount of pollution of the Yangtze River, it is natural that this small number of creatures will become extinct.
It is precisely because of so much human interference that it is almost impossible to stop the extinction of the white-sided dolphin.
The reason is simpler, the white-sided dolphin became extinct solely because of the humans living on both sides of the Yangtze River. There is only one way to stop the extinction of the white-sided dolphin, and that is to stop the human activities that live there.
The question is, is this possible?
It is important to know that even if you don't mention later generations, in these provinces that include Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Huguang, Yunnan-Guizhou and Sichuan. It is also home to more than 200 million people. Even if not every province is related to the white-sided dolphin, the remaining provinces still have a population of more than 100 million...
Even if only some of the more than 100 million people live on the riverside, there are still tens of millions of people.
For the sake of some rare animals, tens of millions of people were relocated out of the city? It's a stupid thing that almost no normal person would do.
In contrast, it is more realistic to catch more white-sided dolphins and dig some artificial lakes with a large enough area in other places to let them live in them...
In fact, Yan Shao did intend to do so...
That is to pay some money out of your own pocket. Then find a few empty no-man's land, dig out a huge artificial lake there, and then let a professional team go to the Yangtze River to catch more than a dozen white-sided dolphins. They were put into this artificial lake and let them live freely here, so that even if all the white-sided dolphins in the Yangtze River were almost extinct in the future, they would be able to continue to live there.
Nature. It's certainly not as cute as a panda. It's not as popular as pandas, and it's unlikely that pandas will attract as much money as pandas to make them more protected, but in terms of rarity, white-sided dolphins seem to be worth it...
It's a bit of a hassle, but it's better than waiting a few decades for the species to become extinct. Of course, this kind of thing is definitely not something to be done now, after all, Yan Shao is busy with too many things now, and he can't spare so much time, energy and funds to be busy with this kind of thing.
And...
Even if it's an endangered animal. If you want to be extinct, it will be a few more decades, at least in Yan Shao's time. It wasn't until the 20th century that this strange creature became completely extinct...
So even a few years later seems like nothing...
Besides, haven't two of them already been caught at the zoo now? And it is said that there is still a male and a female, even if something happens to make the white-sided dolphins of the Yangtze River really all extinct, relying on these two should be able to reproduce another species...
"But in that case, it should be very tiring, right?"
Thinking so, Yan Shao touched his chin and laughed strangely.
This weird smile was not only the cold hairs on Elaine's body standing up, but even Lu Ying and Katarina, who were already asleep and were sleeping naked in the bed, hugged each other in the bed, also unconsciously trembled.
However, Yan Shao didn't have the slightest feeling about these, and just refocused his attention on the official business on the table.
Many of these have just come from all over the world, and a few of them are undoubtedly extremely important.
For example, in two of them, not long ago, the mayor of Suzhou City just sent back the news that the ID card, household registration and reserve systems of Suzhou and surrounding counties and towns have been thoroughly completed.
In addition to Suzhou, Huizhou and Tongling and other areas have also been basically completed, naturally, the earliest completion of these places is still Dangtu and Wuhu two cities, after all, these two are also the earliest Yan Shao, and the two cities that are most loyal to Yan Shaoββββββ especially Wuhu New Town, just such a city, from the beginning of the establishment of the city, has been considered to have solved this problem.
In the future, with the perfect system of household registration and reserve service, as well as the equipment stored in the arsenal of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Anhui will be able to mobilize 150,000 to 200,000 troops in the shortest possible time.
Naturally, the combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed for the time being in the early stage, but the training of the militia has already begunββββββ there is no way, who says that except for some people in the National Social Army who have to retire from active duty because of injuries and illnesses, there is not a single one who has retired because of the expiration of their service...
Therefore, for a short period of time, the reserve of the National Social Army can only rely on the militia...
But even if it's a militia, with good equipment, it's enough to compete with some regular armies in other provinces, after all, those guys aren't necessarily much stronger than the militia...
In addition to the matter related to the reserves, another important thing is to carry out a military system rectification of the existing National Socialist Army.
The current establishment of the Nationalist Army was inherited from the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty, and this was basically the case with the Beiyang Army in Beiyang and some local armies in other provinces.
However, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the establishment of the new army was only more than 12,000 people in one infantry division. An infantry division of the German Army, which was used as a reference prototype, had about 16,000 men.
In other words, the Nationalist Army was at least 4,000 to 6,000 inferior to the German Army, and the armies of other Western powers were similar.
However, due to the fact that there are many heavy machine gun companies and heavy machine gun battalions in the National Social Security Army. In addition, there is a 105mm light howitzer artillery battalion, so the number has reached 15,829 people, close to 16,000 people, which is more than 2,000 more than Beiyang, and only a little worse than Germany.
But the main reason for this is that there are many more machine guns, and the gap in infantry is still very large ...
But then again. There are many reasons why the new army will be reduced in the late Qing Dynasty, but one of the fundamental reasons is that ββββββ lack of money...
At the end of the Qing Dynasty. Although the Qing court had decided to produce an infantry division in each province, in fact many localities could only produce one division, and a poorer province like Guizhou even had only one infantry regiment (infantry standard), so it was a helpless move to reduce the number of infantry regiments from the original to more than 12,000.
But the National Socialist Army is different...
Generally. The National Socialist Army has many congenital deficiencies. But one thing that no other warlord can match, and that is the financial advantage...
Regardless of whether there is an egg of gold under the rain stone company...... is wrong, it should be that whether it is a chicken with gold from the Yushi Company, or a 'big dog' with Yan Shao behind him, the National Social Army does not need to live too poor like Beiyang or other armies.
As a matter of fact, when the Anhui Military Government was just established, some military officers who had returned from France had already proposed the reform of the establishment. That is, the original establishment of more than 12,000 people was changed to more than 18,000.
It's just that it didn't pass at the end of the day, after all, at that time, the Nationalist Army was seriously short of officers and well-trained soldiers, and the larger the establishment. The more chaotic the command, the more advantageous it was to maintain the original establishment at that time.
So expand the matter of the establishment. It was put on hold for the time being...
However, at present, the nine infantry divisions of the National Social Army have been strictly trained, and their combat effectiveness has been fully guaranteed. Even a sudden expansion would not cause any confusion, and the military school had been open for almost a year, so there was no need to worry about the shortage of officers...
In the eyes of the radicals in the Kuomintang Socialist Party, now is the best time to carry out the military and political stage, and the adoption of a newly established Kuomintang Army will undoubtedly bring extremely favorable conditions for the implementation of the military and political stage...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
On the third day, the neatly dressed Yan Shao and Elano left the manor together.
Originally, a park was officially opened to the public, and Yan Shao did not need to go there in personββββββ at least in later generations.
But in this day and age, parks and things are still relatively new. For example, on the Wuhu side, because there is a Wuhu New Town, the park appears with the whole city, and it is not very special to carry it, but in Anqing, this park is the first in the whole city.
In addition, the entire park was built by Yan Shao, so it became a matter of course for him to go over in person.
"How's it going, it's still in good spirits..."After tugging at his collar to make himself more relaxed, Yan Shao smiled at Elano and the others, this is already the third coat he has ever had.
Standing opposite Yan Shao, after watching it with scrutinizing eyes, Elano and the others finally nodded with satisfaction.
Although he is almost 30 years old, because Yan Shao has never given up on physical exercise in the past few years, he still looks very energetic, and his body has become refined and strong, even many soldiers in the army do not have such a strong body as Yan Shao.
Coupled with the tall man, although his appearance can only be regarded as ordinary and handsome, he still looks very good when he wears well-fitting clothes.
"Sir, the car is ready..."
Just as Yan Shao was smiling and asking, a servant walked in from outside and whispered.
Hearing the servant's words, Yan Shao nodded, and then turned to the other three. "Alright, let's go..."
Originally, Yan Shao could go this time, but Elaline and the others were very interested in the zoo part of the park, so they decided to go with the familyββββββ by the way, Yan Shao was only interested in the white-sided dolphin. Because this thing was completely extinct in his time, as for tigers and lions, and wolves and so on. He really wasn't interested in that...... If he gets a giant panda out, maybe he will be more interested...
It's a pity that this thing is relatively rare even in Sichuan, so Yan Shao doesn't have to think about it for the time being.
After leaving the mansion, a special edition 'Ryuran' was parked there at the entrance.
After pulling the car door and sitting inside, the four people quickly surrounded the front and back of several other cars. The entire convoy drove out of the estate and headed in the direction of the reservation.
At the same time, inside the stronghold of the Black Dragon Society. Gao Sencheng and Ke Yun have also learned the news.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
In the morning, looking at Ke Yun and the others preparing there with great interest, Gao Sencheng was a little apprehensive.
"If these guys learn that Yan Shao will go another way...... Will you strangle me to death with your own hands? β
Gao Sencheng was really a little skeptical about this, after all, Yan Shao had bypassed it several times a few days ago. This is the main route to the park. But that's not to say there isn't any other way to go, if you don't come back...
You must know that Ke Yun and Du Ying's gang are already a little impatient to wait, and if they are asked to wait, they really don't know what will happen.
"Alas, God bless, let that Yan Shao pass by this road..."Bowing to the sky with his hands folded, Gao Sencheng's eyes unconsciously glanced to the right. Hopefully, something will happen...
And then...
A miracle really happened...
Through the glass window, Gao Sencheng could clearly see what some policemen in black uniforms were doing outside. It looks like these policemen also appeared out of nowhere.
"Is it really going to pass by this road?" See this scene. Gao Sencheng was also a little surprised.
It was at this time that Ke Yun suddenly walked over beside him.
"Old Gao, what are you looking at?"
Although I really want to tell Ke Yun that his surname is actually Gao Sen, and his single name is Cheng, which is similar to a certain guy named Makoto Ito in later generations (Gao Mori Cheng: Strange? Who is Makoto Ito? But he still had to hold back the complaint in his heart and turned his head to Ke Yundao. "Good news, that Yan Shao will definitely ...... No, it's Yan Shao who will pass by this side soon, tell everyone to prepare as soon as possible, and we will start acting later..."
I don't know Gao Sencheng's inner activities, and after hearing that he can finally act, Ke Yun and Du Ying behind him are happy. "I'm finally able to get down to business..."
As he spoke, the other two people in the back had already taken out their main tools this time...
Hand grenade...
It's the horsetail grenade that Gao Sencheng gave them a few days ago.
These grenades had already been bundled up in a ball of three each, using the same as Takamori had shown them last time. This is also something that can't be helped, although if you bundle a few more, the power will definitely be much greater, but this time Gao Sencheng only brought more than ten from Japan, because the amount of equipment for this thing in Japan is also very small.
In addition, it is necessary to consider the possibility of failure, so it has become the safest way to bundle every three into one. Anyway, if more than a dozen can be thrown at the car, it doesn't matter if it is thrown in batchesββββββ at least in Ke Yun and Gao Sencheng's opinion, there is no car in this era that can withstand the explosion of three grenades...
If it's a regular car...
In addition to the ponytail grenades that were tied together, Ke Yun and the others also carried a pistol, which was also one of the weapons that Gao Sencheng brought from Japan.
It's just that compared with the M1911 of the national social military system, these brought by Gao Sencheng are not only inconvenient to use, but also too powerful, but they are still very good as a self-defense weapon...
"Alright, let's take their places..."Looking at the policemen who were in charge of the guard work outside, Takamori became enlightened.
He knew very well that there would definitely be some plainclothes mixed outside, so he didn't go out immediately, but let someone brought by Ke Yun go up to the second floor, and as soon as Yan Shao's convoy appeared outside, he would notify them immediately.
His office is not far from the street, just outside the door, so as long as you are ready, you can definitely come in time.
As for the other employees in the office? Will you report it to the police after seeing their strange movements? This Gao Sencheng didn't have to worry at all, because not long ago, he and Ke Yun had tied up all the employees in the office with pistols, and then locked them in the small secret room where grenades were fired.
Until the people from the Secret Service searched here, they would never have been able to get out...
"The only pity is that this office that I have been running for so many years, I still have to leave it behind after all..."Sighing softly, seeing that Ke Yun and they were still excitedly paying attention to the scene outside the glass window, Gao Sencheng returned to his room on the second floor to pack his things.
As a member of the Black Dragon Society, he won't go crazy with those guys below. After the plan begins, he will leave here through the back door of the office and go directly to Shanghai by boat, as for Ke Yun's life or death, this is not his control...
Anyway, for the Black Dragon Society, whether they succeed or fail, it is extremely advantageous...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
It was not clear what was going to happen, but outside the streets, many people were walking in an orderly manner under the command of the police, and most of them were heading in the direction of the park.
Although there have been many interesting changes in the city since the establishment of the Anhui military government, most of the city's residents have heard of the park for the first time, and naturally they have a lot of interest in it.
So of course, after learning that the park will be officially opened today, there has been a long queue outside the gate of the parkββββββ it will be like this, and it has a lot to do with the fact that the park is free for three days before it opens, and when it is no longer free, it is estimated that there will not be so many people. (To be continued......)
