1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 12 A Long Day ([-])
It is not surprising that a natural harbor with unique conditions like Yulin Port is living nearby. The Executive Committee has long known that there must be fishermen in this harbor, and the first contact with the aboriginal people in this time and space after crossing is in advance. Various response plans have been prepared.For example, if a local inhabitant is discovered during the landing, then the response strategy is - ignore it.

The reason is actually very simple. The sudden arrival of such a huge fleet here, the locals will definitely think that this is a pirate force with an unknown flag, and the nearest large garrison is far away in Yacheng, a hundred miles away, here There is nothing at all that can immediately threaten the military power of the Transmigrators.If expected, the fast-footed person would have already started to pack up and flee to the mountains.The main task of the vanguard is to protect the safety of the landing site area, not to hunt down fishermen who have never seen the world.

This little episode did not affect the continuation of the landing operation. The two catamarans with shallow draft first docked at the predetermined location near the mouth of the Tiandu River on the north bank of the harbor, and returned the measured coastal water depth data to the command.This landing site is one of the later Yulin Military Port Wharfs. In the development plan of the Executive Committee, the main base of the crossing will start from this wharf and follow the narrow strip between the Tiandu River and the Gouling-Hailuoling Mountains. Expand inland.

Yan Chujie didn't stop after arriving on the "Speedy" this morning. At first, he was serious about accepting all kinds of firearms purchased by the North American Gang from the European underground arms dealers. Later, he saw these guys show the individuals they bought with their own money. Equipment, decisively not calm.

In the military supplies purchased by the Executive Committee, all military personnel and reservists are uniformly made of domestic jungle camouflage training uniforms, strongman combat boots, and a copycat Magaisian RUSH 72-hour assault tactical backpack. Individuals are issued a U.S. Army M88 helmet.Of course, this is nothing but an imitation of domestic engineering plastics.Although the protection is not as good as the original product, it is cheaper and lighter, and it can also be used as a safety helmet during construction.As for other equipment such as tactical vests, gloves, flashlights, etc., only the list of officers established by the Military Police Department has corresponding equipment.With the addition of nearly one 56 semi-automatic rifle, Yan Chujie thought that this kind of equipment was enough to arm a reserve militia, but after seeing these guys in North America, he realized what the world of local tyrants is. We don't understand at all.

These guys in North America who have been engaged in paramilitary training for many years obviously did not intend to keep the same with the military police department. They are equipped with Multicam multi-terrain camouflage clothing produced by American CP company, plus the same series of tactical vests and waist packs and leg bags. Fast belts produced by FAST Hanging accessories Kevlar helmet, Oakley's tactical goggles and gloves, Magnum's elite spider combat boots, three UAMC tactical backpacks of different sizes and capacities, and an intercom system with a throat-shock headset.The secondary weapon is the MK23 pistol that can be equipped with a silencer and an external sight. This pistol with a capacity of 12 rounds can be regarded as an improved and enhanced version of HK's traditional signature product USP. It has extremely strong shooting accuracy at a distance of 50 yards.The main weapon is the HK416 series, which is famous for killing the Benla lamp. There are different emphasis on the model according to personal preference. Of course, the EOTech holographic sight mounted on the gun with the Picanitine rail is essential. .As for other things, such as M9 military daggers, Citizen's light-energy titanium watches, etc., there are many kinds of items. If they are US troops who are going to set off to beat aliens, Yan Chujie does not think there will be any. The slightest sense of inconsistency.

After seeing it, Yan Chujie was more than just jealous, jealous, and hatred, and immediately asked Tom Wang, the head of the North American Gang, to "come out a set of equipment according to this standard."In view of Yan Chujie's dual leadership as a member of the executive committee and the head of the military and police department, Tom Wang finally had to agree to Yan Chujie's request.However, in this situation, Gu Kai and Schneider had already reminded the North American gang a few months ago, so in fact, Wang Tom had already prepared, and only after Yan Chujie opened his mouth, he would just offer this generous gift.

Yan Chujie didn't think so much, and immediately changed clothes on the sailboat after getting the things.With this tall equipment, Yan Chujie immediately felt that his combat power, which was not weak, had increased by at least ten percentage points.Of course, the reality was that when the sailboat landed, there was not even a single person on the seashore, which made Yan Chujie's long-planned feat of landing on land for the first time a little too deserted.However, before he could issue the order to reconnaissance on the shore, the new order from the headquarters arrived first - the two sailboats immediately began to transport the members of the "New World" to land.So the freedom fighters of the North American Gang obediently drove their sailboats to pack people, and Yan Chujie had to command the three men he was with to conduct a small-scale reconnaissance first.

When the advance team of the Military Police Department had already started to land, the follow-up fleet stopped in the harbor. The "New World" has a deep draught. If you don't want to rely entirely on boats to transport materials, you can only wait for the temporary dock to be built. The first task now is to unload the construction equipment and materials on the landing craft to the coast first.So Sun Changmi took the rubber boat to the landing craft, and the technical work of washing the beach still had to be done by professionals.There are also a group of people from the Ministry of Construction, including Tao Donglai and Bai Kesi, who want to board the landing craft with him. It is up to them whether the construction of the temporary pier goes smoothly.

Under the operation of Sun Changmi, the beaching of the landing craft went smoothly without any suspense. It took only less than 10 minutes for several engineering vehicles and several tons of construction materials to complete the landing, which was a good start. The first labor force has also landed not far from here, and the timing is just right.

In view of the limited manpower and construction level of the crossing group, the temporary wharf construction plan finally adopted by the Ministry of Construction is a floating wharf.The wharf is built with a large number of fully enclosed iron barrels and a steel-wood frame structure. It extends from the shore to the sea in an "L" shape for about 40 meters, and the total length of the turning part is about 70 meters. The width of the trestle bridge is about [-] meters. .The water depth at this location has been measured enough for the "Shinsekai" to dock over.Barges with shallower drafts can dock near the shore to unload.

The advantage of this scheme is that the labor intensity is lower, and the installation speed is much faster than that of building a piling-type wharf trestle. According to the prior estimate, the preliminary assembly and erection work can be completed in about two hours with sufficient manpower. .However, the corresponding shortcomings cannot be ignored, because the bearing capacity of the pontoon is limited, so the maximum bearing capacity on the trestle cannot guarantee the passage of heavier materials.

However, the Ministry of Construction has already had a plan to deal with this. When the floating pier was ordered, it improved the trestle of the steel-wood structure, and set up multiple piling connection devices on both sides.After the floating wharf is erected in this way, you can carry out piling construction to reinforce the trestle structure while loading and unloading goods. When the lighter bulk cargo is almost ready, the piling work has been basically completed, and the upper limit of the trestle’s load-bearing capacity will be It can reach about five tons, and it can also fix the floating dock to prevent it from swinging with the waves.As for a single piece of material heavier than this weight, it can only be slowly transported through the landing craft.

Of course, there will be more difficulties in implementing any plan than it appears on paper.Tao Donglai listened to Yan Chujie's investigation report on the walkie-talkie. When he was distracted, the excavator he was commanding was leveling the construction site was almost driven directly into the sea by the rookie driver.The first few groups of people who landed on a sailboat were in a mess because of the lack of effective command. They were delayed on the beach for a long time before they started to assemble the wharf. Some people even took out their cameras and took commemorative photos on the beach. .The chaos didn't end until the Executive Board moved the command center from the New World to shore.

This chaotic situation did not end until about 200:[-] in the morning. Except for a small number of crew members, women and children, most of the labor force had already landed and disembarked. About [-] of them participated in the construction of the floating pier. The people, under the leadership of Beks, began to march inland.According to the plan, they must at least complete the foundation leveling work of Base No. [-] within today. It would be better if they could initially build the structure of the base. Otherwise, the migrant workers who are currently busy on the beach will have to go back to the boat to sleep for another night. deck up.

The No. [-] base will not be too far from the wharf, so as to facilitate the transfer of construction machinery, and all kinds of building materials and construction equipment do not need to be carried over by people.At the same time, the distance from Tiandu River should not be too far to ensure the convenience of water use.But there is a serious problem that the construction team must face, and that is cutting down trees.

How rich are the forest resources in Hainan?The transmigrators who have only seen some data figures in another time and space now have a personal experience.This island, which is mostly covered by tropical forests, has thousands of tree species, of which there are more than [-] species that have been designated as commercial timber by the state alone. What is the limitless forest in front of you? How many trees, I am afraid no one can say.According to the previously planned division of labor, the construction team was divided into several logging groups. The goal was very simple. How many trees could be cut down within the field of vision.

The places near the sea are basically dominated by mangroves, but after passing through the mangroves, the scene behind is shocking enough.Baiks used to have a wooden furniture factory, so he had a good understanding of wood and tree species, but because of this, he was stunned by what he saw: "This tree is rosewood, don't cut this tree... Ah, there is such a thick safflower sky wood! Wait... don't do it yet! This, this is red sandalwood!"

The leader of the logging team, Cai Hongzhan, is an old employee of Baix. He used to be a foreman in a furniture factory. He was also one of the first members to be developed by Baix. He is almost forty and has yet to start a family. worn together.Seeing Bai Kesi's drooling look, he couldn't help but coughed dryly: "Boss Bai, no matter how good the tree grows, it will eventually be cut down. If we delay like this, we won't be able to do much today!"

Bai Kesi hesitated: "But these trees are very valuable..."

"There are trees on this island. Even if we cut down for ten years, we can't finish it. Mr. Bai, you should rest on the side first!" Cai Hongzhan, who has been sawing wood for half his life, does not have as many ideas as Bai Kesi. In his view, wood is wood, and at most it can be divided into two categories: usable and unusable.

Cai Hongzhan rolled up his sleeves, activated the chainsaw in his hand, and cut ruthlessly toward the rosewood tree closest to him.
