Chapter 124 Humanitarian Rescue
While the expedition team members were still soundly sleeping, the executive committee had already begun to calculate the current maritime transport capacity on hand and gauge whether it could undertake the transportation of preliminary construction materials and population for overseas mining.
At present, the Executive Committee has on hand a second-hand Fuzhou ship with a material of 400 yuan that was just purchased. The two ships captured in the early stage, Fuzhou ship and Guangzhou shipyard, are slightly smaller in tonnage. These three ships can run cross-sea routes, but their speed is not as fast.
The catamaran sailing ship is so fast, and the voyage needs to be carefully calculated. And according to the information sent back before the expedition team came back, sailing ships going from Victory Port to Hongji in the future are likely to abandon Victory Port-Yazhou-
The originally planned route of Yingge Tsui - Chang Hua - Fu Sui Chau Island - Ha Long Bay - New Port instead sailed directly northwest from Ying Ge Tsui, crossed the Beibu Gulf and arrived in Thanh Hoa area, where it was installed locally.
After boarding the immigration, we went north along the coast of Vietnam until we passed Cat Ba Island before turning eastward and crossing Halong Bay to reach Xingang.
The new route is about a hundred nautical miles longer than the previously planned route. According to the speed of the Chinese sailing ship, plus the time it will take to stop on the way, the one-way sailing time will be at least two days longer than the original. This new route
There are two main difficulties. First, the distance from Ying Ge Tsui to Thanh Hoa is about 180 nautical miles. It would take a Chinese sailboat at least two days to complete this cross-sea voyage, and there is no island like Fu Shui Chau in between.
Such a stop will be a big test for crew members who have never run this route. Another difficulty is that the fleet has to accept immigrants to board the ship in Thanh Hoa, and it will take another day and a half before arriving at the new port.
During a two-day voyage, how to ensure adequate food and water supplies and maintain order on the ship during this period is also an urgent problem to be solved.
In addition, the contradiction between material transportation and population transportation is also a problem that troubles the Ministry of Shipping. At the beginning of the construction of the port mine, a large amount of materials will need to be transported from the base camp, but if too much materials are loaded on the ship, then it will
It is impossible to carry too many people on the coast of Vietnam. And if it carries too few people, it will greatly delay the construction of new ports and the development of mining areas.
A group of people from the Shipping Department were quarreling over whether to recruit people or goods. Later, even the people from the executive committee joined in. The two sides started a war of words, but both refused to admit defeat. In the end, the mature and prudent Tao Donglai came forward.
Calm down the war: "We have fought over and over again, but in the final analysis we still don't have enough transportation capacity, just like we didn't have enough manpower at the beginning of time travel. No matter how we try our best to arrange it, there will always be obvious gaps. In my opinion, there are still
The opinions of the expedition team should be based on, after all, they are the only ones who have personally visited these places, so I think their opinions should be more reasonable."
At nine o'clock in the evening, the sleepy expedition team members were woken up. The heads of various relevant departments have now rushed to Base No. 1, waiting to use their action reports as a reference for the next preparation plan. In order to be able to
To help them recover from their sleep as soon as possible, the executive committee even prepared hot face wash and ice-cold drinks.
After a while, the expedition team members, who had endured both the stimulation of ice and fire, managed to cheer up and walked into the conference room. They were greeted by endless applause from the leaders of the traveling group. Although they had already disembarked at the dock in the afternoon,
After experiencing a similar scene, but seeing the sincere admiration on the faces of the onlookers, the expedition team once again felt the importance of this operation.
Regarding who should make the report on this inspection operation, the best candidate is undoubtedly Wang Tom. Wang Tom, who was entrusted with such an important task by the executive committee for the first time, performed perfectly in this operation, not only successfully completing all
We inspected the project and determined the location of the new port, and also solved the problem of labor force that had troubled the executive committee for a long time, so that the new port had a long-term and stable population import channel during the planning stage. In addition, during this nine-day voyage, nearly 1,000 people were transported to the new port.
During the investigation mission into the unfamiliar environment in the sea, no one among the members suffered serious illness or casualties. As the team leader, Tom Wang also contributed indispensably.
The Executive Committee and relevant departments attach great importance to this work report. Although the expedition team has handed over detailed electronic documents and logbooks of this operation, everyone still wants to hear the personal opinions of the parties involved. After all, there are many subjective opinions.
Things cannot be reflected by relying on paper data. The personal explanations of the parties involved will help everyone understand the true intentions of the specific actions of the expedition team during this process. And everyone also wants to hear Wang Tom’s opinions on material preparation, population transfer, and new ports.
What opinions and views will there be on the construction?
Wang Tom walked to the front of the conference room, facing the dark crowd of heads below, and suddenly felt a little nervous. This seemed to be completely different from the nervousness he had when facing rough waves at sea. Wang Tom knew that this was because he was in
I am a complete novice in politics and have never made such a speech in a similar situation.
Tom Wang took a deep breath, put his laptop on the desk, opened the document he had prepared in advance, and started the report on the inspection in a slightly stiff tone: "Dear colleagues, the content of my report is divided into three parts:
There are three main parts: one is the schedule description of this operation, the other is the description of the completion of the specific inspection project, and the third is the on-site answers to colleagues’ questions. Some of the places that need additional explanation, I will ask these.
Team members from this time will assist. Let me first talk about the schedule of this inspection..."
Once he talked about his major, Wang Tom regained his composure. He first briefly explained the nine-day itinerary, and then focused on why he made such an arrangement. Especially in the selection of routes and the design of the voyage.
On the above, Tom Wang’s professional opinions are undoubtedly highly authoritative, and he also explained this part in the most detail. He also gave some of his own opinions on how to use slower Chinese-style sailing ships to run these routes in the future.
.
The description of each expedition project allowed the audience to more clearly feel the difficulties encountered by the expedition team during this operation and the efforts they made to overcome these difficulties. During the explanation process, Wang Tom used projections
Yi showed some graphic, textual and video materials to the participants to deepen their understanding of the local environment.
When participants from the Ministry of Construction see real images of the port area, combined with the contour maps drawn by the inspection team, it becomes more vivid and real, and it is easier for them to make more targeted construction planning plans. And when the screen is used
When a large number of war refugees gathered at the mouth of the Qinghua River appeared on the screen, everyone's attention became more focused. The expedition team called some of the refugees to conduct an investigation and videotaped the entire process. Because Wang Tom did not understand the vernacular,
So another expedition team member was called to the stage to explain on their behalf. The performance of these refugees greatly strengthened the Executive Committee's determination to introduce labor from the local area. If the Executive Committee had previously had various concerns about whether to introduce immigrants,
After seeing these field-recorded videos, all those concerns were thrown away, and the executive committee only needed to consider how to solve the problem of insufficient transportation capacity.
After the interview video ended, Wang Tom's inspection report came to an end. The participants once again gave warm applause to the excellent performance of the inspection team during the operation. If the previous applause was still a comparison
There was a vague sense of admiration, but after more than an hour of Tom Wang’s detailed report, this sense of admiration became very clear.
The next time was for Wang Tom to answer questions. Tao Donglai first asked a question that all the participants were concerned about: "If we want to transport a large number of people from the coastal areas of Vietnam, such as Thanh Hoa, what will happen?"
Will it not arouse the vigilance and hostility of the local authorities?”
This issue is indeed very important. In this era when national boundaries and nationalities are not so clear, the behavior of large-scale transportation of people from a certain coastal area by cross-border groups is very likely to be regarded by the local regime as plundering the population under their control, thus causing
The other party's hostility or even further hostile behavior, whether in Vietnam or Ming Dynasty, this is a situation that may happen. And the current time travel group has no intention and ability to provoke a national-level opponent, even if this country is in
Many time-travelers call it the "Monkey Country". Even though they cannot cross the sea to attack the time-travel group's home base, it is not difficult to disrupt the time-travel group's plan on their own territory.
"According to our observation and understanding, the Li government in the north has very limited control over the people. Their troops are only stationed in some major cities, and there are no military personnel stationed even on the coast just one or two hundred miles away from the capital.
I have to say that their military defense awareness is very poor, which is probably one of the reasons why this country has been in constant war for hundreds of years." Wang Tom first talked about his own understanding, and then began to answer Tao Donglai's question.
: "If the local government still has certain organizational capabilities, then there will not be the large-scale flight we have seen. I think the army of the Le Dynasty will not know how many people have fled to the north, let alone these
Where do people end up? In my opinion, the entire eastern coast of Vietnam is an undefended area. If we have enough transportation capacity, we can even evacuate that place directly."
"Does this mean we won't encounter trouble from the local government?" Tao Donglai asked.
"Absolutely not!" Tom Wang shook his head and said, "And I suggest starting immigration as soon as possible. This will not only meet our population import needs, but is also an act of humanitarian relief for war refugees."
