Thirty-six hours later, the exploration squadron withdrew from the operational area, and the offshore oil company announced that the exploration had achieved the expected results.

From the start of the anchor to the completion of the operation, the whole process was delayed for 10 hours due to the influence of Shirley, during which the coast guard escort formation had a battle of wits and courage with various harassing vessels.

At the same time, the deeds of the mainland coast guard ship rescuing the fishing boat of Taiwan compatriots were also widely publicized. He Rili's film crew not only filmed very detailed and sufficient material information on law enforcement and marine exploration in the South China Sea, but also filmed precious footage of the coast guard law enforcement ship rescuing the fishing boat of Taiwan compatriots.

The large army returned, but Li Mu could not go back.

The 9527 ship formed a patrol and law enforcement formation with the No. 3, No. 5 and No. 7 ships to patrol and enforce the law on the South China Sea Islands, and at the same time, he also shouldered an important mission - to inspect and discuss the reclamation of the island with the leaders of the National Defense Engineering Construction Commission and SS City.

He is the supervisor in this matter, and he is the biggest among these people on the front line.

The other personnel had already found the right time to arrive at the established sea area and Li Mu on an official ship, and all of them were transferred by helicopter to the 9527 ship.

As soon as Mayor Hou saw Li Mu, he strode over, stretched out his hands from afar and clasped Li Mu's hand, very excited, "Political Commissar Li, don't say anything else, I thank you on behalf of the people of SS City!"

Li Mu smiled so hard that he could only see his teeth, and said, "That's what we should do." ”

As the parent official of the people of the South China Sea, Mayor Hou said this appropriately, and as the commander of the escort formation, Li Mu is qualified to accept such gratitude on behalf of the coast guard force.

Also here were Colonel Guan Haiyang of the Navy's Logistics and Infrastructure Department, a military command cadre with a double master's degree. If he wasn't five years older than Li Mu, he would probably be the youngest military cadre with the rank of full division. Some of his resumes are similar to Li Mu's, for example, he is also on a temporary post, from the detachment leader to the logistics infrastructure department, which is obviously not as simple as training. Sending him to participate in the study of land reclamation projects is not the right profession in the eyes of outsiders, but Li Mu seems to be suitable.

Li Mu looked at his file, shook hands with him very warmly, and said, "Minister Guan, the first batch of escort formations, you are already the captain of the destroyer, you shouldn't salute me first." ”

It turned out that Guan Haiyang walked over and saluted Li Mu, very serious, holding Li Mu's hand, and said, "Political Commissar Li, what I have done is not even a tenth of yours." ”

This is a person who knows Li Mu's details.

"The position is different, that's all. ”

Li Mu looked at him, he was a man with a national face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a resolute expression, and his personality and style had been reflected outside. This is a fierce man who dares to fight against a US Navy destroyer when he is a captain gunboat captain, and he is not a military cadre with a strong academic taste of large-scale training in military academies.

The specific plan for land reclamation will form a framework and construction standards in the three-person group, and everyone in the officers' canteen will exchange a few words of greetings and introduce each other, and a formal discussion will immediately begin.

"Mayor Hou, we have met, and Minister Guan should also understand my style of doing things, so I won't say much about other irrelevant words. Our three-person team is not of high level, but it has a lot of responsibility, and we only do one thing - to build YS Reef well. ”

Li Mu adhered to his usual style, said it clearly, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Mayor Hou is in charge of the people's livelihood infrastructure part. ”

In addition to the people's livelihood infrastructure, there is no need to say other parts, that is the point, and naturally it is he and professionals like Guan Haiyang who are responsible.

Mayor Hou said, "Yes, understood. So, let me tell you what I think?"

Li Mu smiled and gestured, and said, "Mayor Hou, please speak." ”

Every milliliter of sea water at YS Reef is very familiar, and he doesn't need to look at the drawings, look at the photos and videos, and don't need to be on the spot to know how to express it. As the parent official of SS City, he is too familiar with this sea area and the islands and reefs to which it belongs.

Mayor Hou opened the thick notebook, it seemed that he had been preparing for a long time, and perhaps had already begun to participate in the research work a few years ago.

Looking down, Mayor Hou said, "We all know what the situation is at YS Reef. At low tide, a reef is exposed, barely enough to stand a few people, and at high tide it is completely invisible. ”

Guan Haiyang continued, "My second year of recruitment is at YS Reef. The environment at that time was really ......," he shook his head, "I had good conditions at that time, at least a small piece of flat land, and a concrete bungalow to live in." The previous generations of reef keepers, what did they live in, stilt houses. A stilt house made of a few logs. What to eat, canned food from strategic warehouses. There's nothing you can do, you can't save any other food. The supply ship comes once a month, and in the event of a typhoon, you have to be hungry. That has to be guarded, and death will also die on the reef. My old squad leader has been guarding for 20 years, and when he goes back, he can't speak anymore and doesn't know how to communicate with people. You can't help it, you have to keep it. It's a broken stone, and we all have to guard it. Back then, those Vietnamese monkeys, arrogant, too arrogant, often drove boats to harass, engaged in a few sneak attacks at night, fought back, didn't say anything, came in and beat out......"

Speaking of these, Guan Haiyang's words couldn't be stopped at all, he had personal experience. After graduating from the military academy and going to the grassroots level for two years, he chose to guard the reef in order to give himself a deep memory.

"At that time, I made up my mind, yes, I will not go anywhere in my life, I will die in the South China Sea. I won't give anyone more than 100 catties, so I will hand it over to the party and the people. ”

After Guan Haiyang finished speaking, he lit a cigarette and smoked it to relieve his excitement. It stands to reason that middle and senior leaders will not be so excited, however, where the emotions go, you simply can't control them. It can be seen that the two years of guarding the reef have given Guan Haiyang many unforgettable memories.

Li Mu appreciated Guan Haiyang more and more, maybe he could understand Guan Haiyang's feelings very well. People with true temperament are often more likely to deeply feel the unique dedication and sense of honor of the Chinese People's Liberation Army as a collective.

People who are easy to get emotional can't make big things, but people who don't get emotional can't do big things in the end.

From the perspective of personal feelings, Li Mu has seen many middle and high-ranking generals, from the largest boss to the largest number of middle-level generals, Guan Haiyang is one of the few military cadres who have an appetite for him.

Mayor Hou was also full of emotion, he said, "So, we either don't do it, or we want to do the best at the moment." Political Commissar Li, Minister Guan, since everyone has spread out and talked about it, then I will not be hypocritical. My idea is to build YS Reef into a town that can accommodate at least 10,000 people. ”

Li Mu and Guan Haiyang glanced at each other, but they both smiled slightly and did not speak.

Mayor Hou was suddenly a little anxious, he was not confident that this plan could become a reality, but now when he looked at the expressions of these two people, he was obviously in a hurry.

"Political Commissar Li, Minister Guan. Mayor Hou said bitterly, "Our SS City is a prefecture-level city, but do you know what the population under our jurisdiction is?"

His expression was very exaggerated, and he spread his hands as if to say something incredible, "I'm not as big as a village chief!"

This is not an exaggeration at all, except for the garrison on the island, there are only a handful of people living on the island for a long time, and this of course does not include the fishing boats that occasionally go to take shelter from the wind.

"The geological conditions of YS Reef are relatively good, which is suitable for expansion into a large island, which is also a very good platform for our national defense project construction. Political Commissar Li, you are the supervisory commissioner of the National Defense Engineering Construction Commission, and you should understand the importance of this. Mayor Hou said.

Li Mu laughed, "Mayor Hou, don't worry. ”

Guan Haiyang had already seen it, and Li Mu's thoughts were probably the same as his.

Sure enough, Li Mu said, "Mayor Hou, what do I mean, your SS city government is too stingy." With a permanent population of 50,000, how can there be enough people? There are tens of thousands of people living in the larger commercial communities on the land, so let's expand an island and reef, right?"

Mayor Hou didn't react, "What do you mean......

"At least 50,000 people. Li Mu said decisively, stretched out a slap, and then flipped it over, "The target is a town with a population of 100,000." With a permanent population of 100,000 and four or five, you, the mayor of SS, are just like that. ”

Mayor Hou was shocked and said in disbelief, "How is this possible, even if it is approved from above, where can there be so many people?"

Guan Haiyang said, "Mayor Hou, don't worry about this. When the place is built, people will naturally follow. ”

Li Mu opened the folder, glanced at it, and said, "In terms of national economic positioning, Hainan Island focuses on tourism economy, and SS City, as a subordinate administrative region of Hainan Island, has the largest jurisdiction area and is also the largest prefecture-level city in the country, and it is all ocean, so many rich tourism resources." If you develop it, I dare to pack a ticket with you, and then you will be worried because of the large number of people. ”

Mayor Hou is naturally not in vain, he is a deputy mayor at the department level, and the mayor of SS City is a high-level deputy provincial level, all of them are carefully selected, and they are all deeply hidden. Mayor Hou is a master of tourism economy.

However, he frowned and said, "The truth is naturally this truth, but this requires very, very much investment, the state must vigorously support, the people must vigorously support, and the construction cycle cannot be completed in three or five years." ”

Guan Haiyang waved his hand and said, "As long as the strength is enough, it can definitely be completed in three or five years." In three or five years, we Chinese can rebuild a country, and it is nothing to build a few islands and reefs. ”

How much time did it take to rebuild after the Wenchuan earthquake, less than three years before and after, and many places were more modern and prosperous than before the earthquake.

Just like building bridges and roads, as long as the money is in place, a new bridge is up one night, and a road comes out in a few days. Money is not available, a road of a few kilometers can be repaired for several years.

"It's directly proportional to how much support is as fast as it gets. ”

Mayor Hou, as a senior official, naturally understands this truth, he just doesn't believe that Li Mu can win such a big support.

There is nothing wrong with it at all, it is mainly up to Li Mu to fight for it, he knows that when Li Mu came to preside over this work, he already understood the ins and outs of this.

"That's great, we in SS City just say a word, the state supports, we risk our lives to do it!" Mayor Hou said.

Li Mudao, "It's serious. ”

After a pause, he said with a straight face, "Mayor Hou, Minister Guan, I believe you know very well that the expansion of YS Reef should first consider military use, and the others should be placed second. The expansion of islands and reefs should first consider military factors, and then such as tourism, fishing, transportation, and ports. ”

Mayor Hou nodded solemnly, "Yes, national security comes first. ”

Guan Haidao, "That's what I'm here to do." Political Commissar Li, why don't you talk about my plan first. ”

"Please. ”

Guan Haiyang pondered his thoughts, flipped through the folder, and said, "Our side has the following requirements, first of all, the expanded island must have a one-kilometer-size runway and corresponding aviation ground facilities, and at the same time there must be a dock that can berth two 5,000-ton ships at the same time, as well as related simple support and supply facilities. In addition, a radar station should be built, a defense system and related positions should be built on the island, the defensive positions should be able to deploy large-caliber coastal defense guns, and the air defense positions should be able to deploy medium- and short-range surface-to-air missile systems. Aspects of permanent fortifications include, but are not limited to, underground fortifications. In addition, there is a need for a permanent camp where a Marine battalion can live and train. ”

He looked up, "That's all for now." ”

Mayor Hou was secretly speechless when he heard this, and said, "Minister Guan, according to this plan, you can't do a good job of a few square kilometers." ”

YS Reef is just a reef, just a little bit of a reef that sticks out of the water!!

No one thinks it's inappropriate, I want to get my place, I want to get it, none of you can say, your eyes are red, go to ****! If you don't go well, you hit the wall!!See that I'm not happy to hit me!!

Li Mu laughed at Guan Haiyang, which made Guan Haiyang embarrassed for a while, and almost said why the chief was laughing.

Tapping lightly on the table, Li Mu said, "What is a one-kilometer runway enough for?" He pointed to Mayor Hou and said to Guan Haiyang, "You can use the two-meter runway, but you can't use it locally." ”

Guan Haiyang only then understood what the problem was. There is no problem with the take-off and landing of military aircraft on a two-kilometer runway, but it is almost meaningless for civilian airliners. There is no problem with the take-off distance, and the A380 does not need to taxi for two kilometers to take off, the key is the landing distance. The twin-engine medium-sized passenger planes that can often be seen on general domestic routes are not good without a landing distance of more than 1,000 or 2,000 meters, and you still have to leave a margin.

Mayor Hou also came back to his senses and immediately said, "That's right, we want to engage in tourism, and I think many people are willing to come by plane for such a long distance." Therefore, a 4D-class airport capable of taking off and landing midsize jets is a must. ”

Li Mu said, "comprehensive use of resources, the airport is a very wide area of facilities, we can't do two, then engage in a dual-use, according to the 4D level to build, double runways, the length of the main runway must be more than 3,000 meters, the wingspan must reach more than 50 meters." ”

"This is a 4E airport. Guan Haiyang said, a little staggering, this stroke is too big.

Li Mu said, "To think about the long-term, it is not easy for us to expand once, and we can't use a few years to find that there is not enough place, which will cause a more serious waste of resources." The airport must be at least of this level, dual-use. The wharf, to be exact, must be a port, divided into two halves, half for military and half for civilian, and the wharf for fishing boats is integrated into it to create a large safe haven. There are many typhoons in the South China Sea, and safe havens are very important. Shirley, who met the other day, is an example of this. If there is a safe haven nearby, the safety of fishing boats and other vessels operating in the vicinity is more guaranteed. Well, let's repair the port according to the level of 100,000 tons, 5,000 tons is too small. ”

"This ......"

Note: I have a cold, my head is heavy, I wrote a day in two, and I owe it yesterday when I am full of blood to make it up, and I make up for it......
