Chapter 512 Army-Navy Central Agreement

"...If the Luhuitou Fortress is to be defended by the navy by itself, at least one naval company is needed—they can't afford such a large capital, so they definitely need our help in defense." He Ming said, "In addition, the safety of Tiandu Town must be ensured. , is inland - the surrounding environment is complicated, not only is there the danger of attack by the Ming army and Xiangyong, but also Li Qing, so it must be protected by troops."

"Wouldn't three companies be enough? There's still an Anyou City that needs to be defended."

"Anyoule City can let the militia be in charge of security. The main force and the battalion directly under the battalion will be deployed in Yulin Fort, and they will use boats to maneuver to support Anyoule City at any time. If necessary, support Luhuitou or Tiandu Town."

The final strength of the Army's Sanya dispatched battalion consisted of 3 infantry companies, 1 artillery platoon, 1 engineer platoon, and a platoon directly under the battalion.It's a mixed camp.The navy sent a squadron and a small number of coastal defense troops.

At the Army-Navy Joint Meeting held by the General Staff, Army-Navy representatives He Ming and Ming Qiu reached the "Army-Navy Central Agreement No. 1" on the fortification of the Sanya area. Marine platoons are stationed.The army sent 1 company to help defend.Yulin Fort, which was originally stationed by the navy, was handed over to the army, and the army was stationed in Yulin Fort and Tiandu Town.

The two parties confirmed that the battalion commander of the Sanya Dispatched Battalion of the Army will also serve as the Garrison Commander of the Sanya Special Zone, and will command the Army and Navy in a unified manner.

A local militia will be formed.The militia is organized and trained by the Army.In terms of command, it is under the dual leadership of the chief executive of the Sanya Special Zone and the commander of the Sanya Garrison.

The navy is responsible for the transportation of the supplies of the army and the navy—in fact, the supply of the entire Sanya Special Zone is the responsibility of the navy. This addition is a request of the army to ensure that the army supplies have the necessary priority in transportation.One of the points of dispute between the two parties was who owns the only radio station in Sanya. It was finally decided that the radio station would be operated by army personnel, and that the radio station would be located at the Navy’s Luhuitou base.

After the two parties signed, Ma Qianju took the lead in applauding, and then the female messengers of the navy brought a plate, which was filled with kvass with fruit juice, and the bubbles were bubbling.

"Let's make a toast to the joint actions of the army and navy in Sanya." Ma Qianju raised his glass in the office of the General Staff of the Executive Committee, and representatives of the army and navy toasted together.

Ming Qiu and He Ming are both old soldiers, and they drink a lot in the army, and both of them can drink quite well, and the beer like Kvass can only be regarded as mouthwashing beer.Ma Qianzhu saw that they were still a little bit unsatisfied after drinking, so he told him to "exchange the rum for the two of you." Then he brought rum again.

Ma Qianju poured them for them himself, and poured himself a small cup.

"This operation is the first large-scale operation of our crossing group after D-Day, and it is also the first large-scale joint operation after the army and navy formed their own armies." Ma Qianju considered the words carefully, "The operation in the Sanya area, said Be more grand, it's about the 'national destiny', you two are old soldiers trained by the PLA in the past, in the overall situation, you must steer the army and navy well, and don't be disturbed by certain factors."

The two of them didn't understand the meaning of Mr. Ma's long words, so they immediately drank the wine in one gulp:

"Please rest assured, Chief." He Ming said immediately.

Ming Qiu also nodded calmly. Because of his status, he has only been regarded as a guest minister of the Navy so far. Mr. Ma's words mean that he treats him as a real one of his own.

"It must be done. Chief!" he said, and then he said, "The operation to develop the Sanya Special Zone has not yet had a code name, and it is inconvenient to call it. You should take this opportunity to give it a code name."

"In my opinion, let's call it Giant Action." Ma Qianju said, "Our Time Travel Group will grow from here to an industrial giant."

Ruan Xiaowu is leading a team to scrub the deck on a patrol boat. Ruan Xiaowu is now a very qualified naval cadet, no longer an intern who does not occupy the establishment, he has become the gunner of a 7-ton sailboat , this sailboat is one of the colorful old remnants of Lin Baiguang's rebellion.After a comprehensive clean-up, refurbishment and transformation, it has become a member of the navy's sailing warships. Due to the limitation of the hull structure, this traditional Chinese galleon is not easy to arrange Western-style guns, and it is slow to sail. It is not suitable to be an offshore patrol ship, and is basically used by the navy as an armed transport ship.Simply named "Linyun No. [-]".

"Scrub hard!" Ruan Xiaowu yelled in a high-pitched voice, his sleeves rolled up, his arm was red from soaking in the seawater, and he held a stone the size of a book in his hand—this is the square stone used by the sailors who crossed the group navy. stones to polish the deck.This habit was learned by Wen Desi from the British Navy in the age of sail.

Most of Lingao's naval personnel came from recruited pirates, and a small part were poor fishermen along the coast.Whether it is a pirate or a fisherman, they all express great incomprehension about things like wiping the deck with pumice stones every day.Not only this, but also many things that they feel are completely "wasteful".

Every morning at 5:[-], the sailors on duty begin to wash the deck. After washing, they use "book stone" to polish the deck to make it white and bright, and then dry the deck with a mop. At the same time, they also wipe the surface of all metal parts on the deck Polished to a shiny finish with fine sand, any excess cable must be tidied up and coiled for use.Sails that are not in use are tied up.Nothing can be stacked on the deck, everything must be organized.

This kind of discipline is a kind of torture to people accustomed to looseness at sea.No one understands why the deck needs to be scrubbed clean and polished to shine. Wouldn't the deck be stained with sea water immediately after going out to sea?As for the coiling of the cable, it is even more inconceivable, and it can be used even if it is piled up there.

But the officers and cadets of the navy strictly enforced this set of rules and regulations, and no one was allowed to violate them.The pirates knew for the first time what military discipline is.In the past, working under the shopkeepers also had military discipline, such as no drinking before a battle, and no loud noises when sleeping at night.Even if the ship does not go to sea and stay in the port, as long as there is no shore leave, the sailors must strictly follow a 4-hour shift. Those who are not on duty can sleep and chat, but those on duty also need to organize the ship, maintain the ship and drill.

Sailors, whether they were pirates or fishermen, had an unbearable feeling about the discipline of the navy at the beginning, but Chen Haiyang did not allow the discipline to change in the slightest. work and training status.

Le Lin once persuaded Chen Haiyang not to board the ship himself—after all, these sailors had only been brainwashed by Wei Aiwen for dozens of days.If someone started a mutiny, they would die in vain.

"The more you do this, the more courage you have. You are timid yourself, and you still expect to subdue them?" Chen Haiyang said with a smile, "What are a few pirates? If you dare to show your face, you will punish them severely."

In the "whole army training" that followed, some veterans really became noisy.Incite the sailors to rise up and make trouble.Facts have proved that Wei Aiwen's "political study" is not free - although most of the newly joined sailors are dissatisfied with the strict discipline of the navy, they have seen the strength of the Australians during the political study, and the treatment given by the Australian navy is also the same The highest in time and space.

The commander of the navy, Lao Di, led the navy to carry out a clean crackdown. Among the more than 40 participants in the riot, [-] leaders were hanged on the naval dock of Bopu Port, and the others were "reformed through indefinite labor".

Ruan Xiaowu stared at the deck—more than a dozen sailors were squatting on the deck and scrubbing hard. The scrubbing work has come to an end, and the sundries on the deck have been sorted out in an orderly manner. The barrels of the 8 24-pound Caron guns were polished shiny, and the shells were piled up in a standard pyramid shape.

"Zheng Dashui, what do you mean by wiping the deck?! Go back and do it all over again!" Ruan Xiaowu saw that some places were not shiny enough, and immediately ordered to rework.

"Yes!" The sailor named Zheng Dashui immediately went back and wiped it again.In terms of age, Zheng Dashui is twice as old as Ruan Xiaowu. In terms of qualifications, Zheng Dashui has been in the big bosses of Zhucai for more than ten years. He is an out-and-out old sea dog, but he must obey orders in front of non-commissioned officers.From the beginning of the "army training", Chen Haiyang paid close attention to the concept of superiors and subordinates, and established the absolute authority of officers.

Ruan Xiaowu glanced across the navy pier. Eighteen dried corpses were hung by iron chains and swayed in the sea breeze. This was the most direct fate of disobeying orders.A reminder to every Aborigine who joined the Australian Navy.

On the pier, the large sailing ships that have been prepared are moored one by one. The appearance of these ships is completely different from when they first came to Bopu.Sometimes Ruan Xiaowu not only marvels at the changes after arriving in Lingao, but even inanimate things like boats seem to turn into another completely different new object in the hands of Australians.

Damaged hulls, split decks, crooked masts, every little bit of damage, even if it was completely insignificant, was repaired.The sails that had been patched up and even made do with straw mats were replaced with new sails as a whole, and the scattered ropes were replaced with standardized new cables.Ruan Xiaowu came from a seafaring family, so he knew that even if these repairs were not done, the ship could continue to be used for many years without falling apart, and it would continue to travel to Nanyang.No wonder some people say that Australians love saving face.However, face is good, it does make people feel different.Ruan Xiaowu felt that when a ship was in the hands of the Australians, it was like turning into a new ship—no, it was not as simple as that, it was not only as new, but also injected with a new kind of vitality.This vitality was something he had never felt on any ship before.
