Chapter 1222: The Current Situation of Star Island
Unlike the stops on the way south, the reception banquet for Tan Ju and his party was held in the officers' canteen in the garrison camp, rather than in a high-end restaurant or private residence. The reason is also very simple, there are no high-end consumption places here, and Roger's residence has little to do with the word "official residence", when he first came here, he lived in a prefabricated house brought from Sanya, and later built a separate courtyard and replaced it with a small bungalow with a brick and stone structure, and that's it.
It's not that Roger is willing to be poor, it's that the objective conditions here are not enough to talk about any material comforts, because of the shortage of labor, coupled with the limited number of engineering and technical personnel, and the priority must be given to infrastructure projects such as docks, roads, bridges, migrant villages, water supply and drainage facilities, and other construction projects can only be reared. Even the garrison, which had been here for more than a year, still lived in wooden barracks. Roger's living conditions were already considered the highest level in the local area, but compared to the top leaders in other colonies, such treatment was indeed a little shabby.
If it was just to entertain Tan Ju, then Roger's residence could make do with a table, but this reception banquet was not only attended by the two of them, their respective cadres had to be present to accompany them, and it was more convenient for the camp to only have the officers' canteen.
Although the environment is not as high-end as the high-end places on Ambuna Island, fortunately, this chef is also an apprentice who has received hands-on training from Chef Fan in Sanya Shengli Fort, and his skills are really not bad. Moreover, this place is close to the coast, and the seafood is really fresh, so the deliciousness is not inferior to the banquet that Tan Juren enjoyed at the previous stops.
At this reception, everyone was staggered with wine, so naturally it was not suitable to talk about business, so Tan Juren randomly picked some interesting things on the way south as talking points. When talking about the experience of hunting on Ambuna Island, Roger answered casually: "If Director Tan likes hunting, it will be easy, I will take you to the north to hunt another day." I don't have so many restrictions here, I can play whatever I want!"
The northern part of Sing Tao is still an unexplored uninhabited area, covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers, with mountains and rivers, and the geographical environment is not much different from the wildlife area on Ambuna Island, but there are not so many animal species. Every month, Roger would organize his subordinates to conduct live-fire exercises in the wilderness north of the island, and when they were done, they would come to a wave of hunting by the way, so that the soldiers could maintain the state necessary for collective combat for a long time. For the kind of hunting on Ambuna Island, Roger is naturally indifferent, Zhang Yun's place can't be killed, that must be protected, how can he hunt freely here?
Tan Juren didn't have much interest in hunting, and the reason why he would go there was more to visit his friends. However, since Roger took the initiative to invite him to show his kindness, he naturally would not refuse this kindness, and immediately accepted it with a smile. He is new to the city now, and it is the most important thing to have a good relationship with Roger, who has been in charge of the local military and political power for more than a year, and then he has to take over the local administrative affairs, and there are many details that have to rely on Roger's help to deal with them.
However, Tan Juren did not forget his business, and at the end of the reception banquet, he took the initiative to mention that he hoped to let the new magistrate Han Zhengshan go to the military camp to receive a short-term training in the use of firearms, so that he could carry out relevant work as soon as possible after taking office. This was just a matter of one sentence for Roger, and when he gave it to his adjutant, he asked him to contact Han Zhengshan to arrange the training schedule.
The accommodation that Roger prepared for Tan Juren was of the same grade as his own station, and it was also a separate courtyard, with furniture and other daily facilities already prepared, and it could be said that it had reached the standard of moving in with a bag. Tan Juren had already visited Roger's residence before, so he would not have any complaints about such treatment.
After washing up, he lay down on the bed, and Tan Juren was also quite emotional when he remembered the experience of the southbound journey. In the past, the understanding of overseas colonies was mostly on paper, only mentioned in the correspondence documents, and there was no intuitive feeling, but this time I took the errand of the outgoing and finally had a personal experience. Needless to say, Haihan's growing strength was a symbol of national strength to be able to open up a colony thousands of miles away from the mainland, and each colony chose different development directions based on their own environment, which also gave him a lot of feelings.
