Chapter 6 Preparations in Progress (2)

Tao Donglai clicked on the preparation of several departments, and there was no problem with the content, but the reply below was noisy and noisy, especially the military and police department in charge of Yan Chujie, which actually opened a voting post for members to choose the light weapons that should be purchased by crossing the group. Now the intention of the Military Police Department to purchase weapons has been postponed indefinitely by the Preparatory Committee, but it is actually quite easy to do something to attract everyone's attention. Although it is stated in this post that the voting results are only used as a reference for future arms procurement plans and will not affect the final decision of the Military Police Department, more than ninety percent of the current team are men, and even those who have never been a soldier and have touched a gun can hardly suppress that enthusiasm for firearms, and Tao Donglai, a veteran, is certainly no exception.

As for what kind of firearms to procure, the dispute between Europe and the United States and Russia is naturally the focus of debate among the participants of this voting post. Almost all of the members who have been soldiers are inclined to the Russian system, because the Type 56 and Type 81 guns equipped by my ** team are well-known imitation Russian light weapons, like Tao Donglai himself used Type 56 submachine guns and Type 81-1 automatic rifles when he was in the army, which is commonly known as the Bayi bar. As for the Type 95 that later equipped the troops, Tao Donglai's unit failed to catch up with the equipment until he retired. From the perspective of these veterans, the Russian weapons are familiar with the performance, easy to maintain, and durable, which is undoubtedly the most suitable choice for a military team with a militia nature like Crossing the Crowd.

Compared with the personal experience of veterans, the main people who support European and American firearms are keyboard military experts, although these people have no military experience, and most of them have experience in contact with firearms is only a few rounds of live ammunition with 56-type semi-automatic during military training in college, but they are mostly military fans who usually haunt major military websites, and they are all treasured about the performance of various light and heavy weapons, especially in the past ten years, European and American light weapons have been reliable on battlefields around the world, and they are the main reason for their recommendation.

Naturally, the veterans also raised all kinds of objections, especially the huge price gap between the European and American systems and the Russian ones. At present, the civilian version of the rifle that can be bought in American gun stores, that is, the semi-automatic version whose performance has been castrated, is only a few hundred dollars, while the civilian version of the German HK416, which has shone in the Middle East battlefield in recent years, costs about 3,000 dollars. Although everyone is fighting fiercely, in fact, people who know firearms know very well in their hearts that munitions, an industrial product with a certain technical content, are still worth every penny in the end. If you want to have excellent weapon performance, you have to increase the procurement budget by a large amount, which is a real dilemma for policymakers.

Of course, as an old comrade-in-arms and the head of the military police department, Yan Chujie had already exchanged opinions with Tao Donglai in private, and both of them believed that it was very undesirable for all employees to be equipped with automatic weapons, which was not just a matter of procurement costs, but because the use of automatic weapons must go through a certain amount of professional military training. The final procurement plan will definitely be dominated by semi-automatic weapons, and only a very small number of professional military personnel who will be used as a guarantee of foreign force after the crossing will be equipped with high-end goods.

This is more like a poll vote for now, because of the numerical superiority of keyboard militarists, the opinions of the pro-European and American departments are temporarily in the upper hand. After Tao Donglai carefully read the replies one by one, he had to admit that this decision was really not good, because in the end, no matter which side he preferred, he might be scolded by the other faction, although most of this scolding was limited to the forum, but thinking about it would still make Tao Donglai feel uncomfortable.

"Let's take a look at something else first. This post aroused Tao Donglai's interest in the small forum, and immediately clicked on the "Talking about the world" section, and saw that the content was some inconsequential topics, so he jumped to the "Opinions and Opinions" section, and the content here immediately caught his attention again.

Most of the articles published in this section are ordinary members who are not department heads, and the questions and suggestions raised are also varied. For example, the content of the first post that Tao Donglai checked was that the Preparatory Committee needed to introduce Hainan locals in the team, especially the Li people. Hainan dialects include Wenchang dialect, which is close to southern Fujian, Danzhou dialect, which is close to Cantonese, and Hakka, Lingao, Li, Miao and other accents. The Li nationality is the largest ethnic minority in Hainan, and there are now six Li Autonomous Counties on Hainan Island alone. In order for the crossing team to take root on Hainan Island, language and ethnic relations are two issues that must be paid enough attention to. Tao Donglai recorded this construction with a pen, intending to gradually solve it in the later preparatory work.

Another post is about building a preparatory committee to carry out the training of crews. The member with the ID of "Lao Tzu will not go to work tomorrow" put forward a view, that since the preparatory committee has taken Sanya's Yulin Port as the crossing destination, then the means of transportation to transport materials must choose ships, and a large ship often needs dozens of crew members, a considerable part of which are technical positions, and it is not just a random person to be able to top, especially the captain, chief officer, navigator, chief engineer and other important positions must have sufficient manpower. In addition, there is certainly no way to solve the fuel problem in the short term after the crossing, and these ships that use mechanical power will obviously not be able to continue to be used on a large scale, and it is estimated that they will have to rely on wind sailing ships as the main means of transportation at sea for a long time in the future, even if they can recruit some sailors in that time and space in the future, but at least there must be a group of people who know how to operate sailboats. In view of the fact that there is not much time left, and the training period of the crew is extraordinarily long, it is necessary to find a way to implement the crew training at the same time.

Tao Donglai then read a few more posts, some people built yì in order to deal with European colonizers in the future, they could consider bringing in some foreigners who were interested in traditional Chinese culture; some people built yì in order to be able to establish their own financial system after the crossing, and the minting and paper money could be prepared in a certain amount with the technology of the time and space before the crossing, and then directly brought over to put it into use; and some people built yì to Yiwu to purchase small commodities in large quantities as a means of trading with the Ming Dynasty and Western colonial companies to earn start-up capital after the crossing。

There are actually a lot of such stickers, and although Tao Donglai has benefited a lot from them, it has also increased the headache of Cheng dù. While it is a good thing for these enthusiasts to fill in the gaps, they also add a lot of items to the already burdensome preparatory work. The thought of having to spend months and months to learn the knowledge of driving a ship for this crew training alone made Tao Donglai's head feel bigger.

"Manpower, the key to solving all problems is manpower!" Tao Donglai clenched his fists and secretly decided to advance the interview time of the next batch of candidates by another week.

So in late May, the Organizing Committee welcomed the third batch of candidates to participate in the interview. The number of candidates in this batch directly exceeded the sum of the previous two batches, directly reaching 130 people. The reason for this is not only that the Preparatory Committee has relaxed the access principle for some special objects, but more importantly, there are several long-awaited professional and technical teams of the Preparatory Committee among this group of people at the same time.

The first small team ushered in was an old expert named Yuan Ruoxiu from the Agricultural Science Institute of a city on the southeast coast, who is now 54 years old, and this time he came directly with a family of three. The reason why Yuan Ruoxiu came to Guangzhou was actually because his apprentice Gao Huan had participated in the second batch of interviews before this and decided to join the crossing team. Yuan Ruoxiu's family of three have worked in the field of agricultural research for many years, in addition to Yuan Ruoxiu himself is specialized in cash crops, Yuan Ruoxiu's wife Zhu Ping has been engaged in the research of food crops, the only son of the old couple Yuan Qiuye in addition to part of the inheritance of his parents' major, the main research direction is poultry and livestock. In the eyes of the organizing committee, this small team of four people is completely a miniature agricultural science institute, which is like a giant pie falling from the sky for the crossing team.

Gao Huan's biological parents died early, and the relationship with Yuan Ruoxiu is also a master and apprentice and a father and son, after he went back, he told his experience in Guangzhou, Yuan Ruoxiu was worried that he would be deceived, and refused to let Gao Huan leave no matter what, Gao Huan had the intention to pull Yuan Ruoxiu's family into the gang, under his repeated persuasion, Yuan Ruoxiu finally relented and decided to go to Guangzhou with the whole family. But Yuan Ruoxiu's ugly words were also said in the front, if what Gao Huan said was indeed true, then naturally it was easy to say, and even joining this team was not impossible to talk about, but if there was fraud in it, then Yuan Ruoxiu would definitely call the police decisively.

It is not difficult for Yuan Ruoxiu's family to dispel their doubts, and after a short discussion, the preparatory committee decided to keep the family no matter what, even if it was acceptable to take a little risk. So Yuan Ruoxiu's family and Gao Huan were fortunate to be the first batch of time and space travelers other than the members of the preparatory committee, and visited the Ming City Wall on Yuexiu Mountain on a dark and windy night.

Gao Huan, who returned to reality, was shocked enough by the scene like Ning Qi at the beginning, even if he had already made certain mental preparations, but when he really saw the city of Guangzhou in 1626 up close, the psychological shock was still difficult to resist. However, Old Yuan Tou was quite calm, and when he opened his mouth, he still did not leave the profession that he had done for most of his life: "It is said that the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty is the Xiaoice River period, and this climatic environment is still a blank field for our current agricultural scientific research. ”

This kind of rigorous professionalism made the Preparatory Committee, which had already prepared a lot of rhetoric, completely out of play, and couldn't help but be in awe of the old man in his heart. As soon as the matter was decided, Yuan Ruoxiu arranged for his son Yuan Qiuye to go back to handle the resignation procedures of the whole family plus Gao Huan, while he took his wife and Gao Huan straight to Hainan, saying that he wanted to go over to inspect the water and soil environment of the landing site first.

Ning Qi also wrote a special article for this to be published on the forum, praising Mr. Yuan for "being a veteran and aiming for a thousand miles", and encouraged the members to "work hard and seize the day". Although Ning Qi's writing is full of a strong CCTV news flavor, the importance of agriculture to the crossing team is well known, so this promotional release still caused a lot of repercussions among the members, and many people shouted that they would try their best to persuade the professional and technical personnel they knew to join the crossing cause. The five-person group of mouth cannon reviewed the situation and decided to give full play to their own advantages, held a meeting overnight to formulate a complete set of talent persuasion plans, and published a trial draft on the forum for members to directly follow the map.
