Chapter 778 New Colonial

According to the arrangement of the Executive Committee, the preliminary escort work of the colonial sites in Kaohsiung, Tainan will be fully responsible for the Haihan militia troops stationed in Penghu. However, this time the troops were brought to Kaohsiung is no longer Qian Tiandun, the highest commander of the Penghu base, but Chen Yixin, a young officer under his command. This is not Qian Tiandun's trust, but he is discussing development cooperation with the Xu family in the Kaohsiung area with the Xu family, and he will not be able to escape for a while.

Although Chen Yixin was young, he had been a military chief in Wanshan Port and Zhennan Port for several years, and was familiar with the task of garrisoning colonial sites. The troops transferred to Kaohsiung this time included more than 340 navy and three companies of the army. In addition to five warships at the sea as support, the army also equipped with six small-caliber artillery, and was preparing to build lighthouses and shore defense fortifications on the mountain behind the flag at the northern entrance to defend against possible enemy attacks from the sea.

Although Kaohsiung Port has two sea estuaries, one north and one south, the sea estuaries in the south are just a gap on the Qijin Peninsula. The water depth is low and the channel traffic capacity is poor. When the water level is low, the entire Qijin Peninsula will even be connected to block the inlet and exit. Therefore, the southern waterway can basically only pass through some small fishing boats for a limited time. Last time, the fleet led by Qian Tiandun came here to inspect the terrain, and even the reconnaissance boats with shallow drafts were almost trapped in the sandbank under the water surface of the South Estuary. Another later generation in time and space Kaohsiung Port was not until 1967 to allow Kaohsiung Port to enter and exit the 100,000-ton ship, which completely digs the southern sea estuary, forming a truly second sea estuary.

In such a geographical environment, the defenders basically only need to guard the Qihou Mountain and Shoushan commanding heights at both ends of the northern seaport, and can completely control the access and exit routes of Kaohsiung Port. The militia navy chose the base of the inner coast of the narrow and long Qijin Peninsula outside Kaohsiung Port. Another time and space Kaohsiung Port has built a 10-kilometer-long port terminal on this coast alone, and the development space is very huge. Not to mention the naval fleet stationed in Penghu, it is more than enough to concentrate all the existing military ships of Haihan here to moor.

However, Chen Yixin is not facing a great defensive pressure at present. After all, the pirate gangs such as Shibazhi who were active in the strait in the past have been expelled to the far sea. Now there are his own allies across the strait, and the Dutch who have surrendered are next door. The local indigenous Maka Taoist has also communicated, and both sides have released enough kindness. In addition to the close Penghu base as a backing, the external security of Kaohsiung Port is relatively guaranteed. In addition to basic defensive patrols, the militia troops stationed here are still more focused on maintaining local public security order.

The army gathered here from Hainan, Guangdong and Penghu, plus immigrants, craftsmen, crew members, etc., has reached 17800 people, of which about 1,000 are immigrants who will live here for a long time in the future. In the following months, immigrants and other staff will arrive here one after another, and it is expected that the population to settle here in the first half of next year will exceed 3,000. However, due to the huge gap in the local police force used to maintain civilian public security in Hainan Island, and it is impossible to allocate sufficient police force to the new colony, this part of the responsibility must be shared by militia. However, the new colony implemented military control in the early days, which has become a practice for Hai Han. Many of the special forces under Qian Tiandun joined the army in Heitu Port during the military control period. They have long been accustomed to this situation, so neither the Executive Committee nor the militia army raised any questions about this.

Such a simple method was probably not even possible to film a single episode in later generations. Chen Yixin just wanted to try it out with the idea of ​​following the clues. Unexpectedly, the criminal was caught very smoothly. After the interrogation was interrogated, the three of them soon asked for confessions.

It turned out that they were a theft gang that was roaming in various cities in Guangdong. When they heard that Hai Han was rich under the rule of the country, they planned to mingle with Hai Han's land and continue to do their old business. However, they did not expect that after staying in the immigration camp in Panyu for a while, they were not sent to Sanya, which is known as the "No. 1 port in Qiongzhou", but crossed the sea to such an undeveloped coast.

The Haihan people wanted to open a port here, but they thought about how to get some money to leave here as soon as possible. New immigrants from Guangzhou were dispersed and divided into four camps, allowing naturalized people who had already been naturalized to use the old to lead the new to encourage them to adapt to the new social environment as soon as possible. But after these guys discovered the role of circulation vouchers, they secretly had bad thoughts. As soon as the three of them made a decision, they took turns to ask for leave, and sneaked into other tents to commit crimes while the people in the camp were working outside.

Although when the case first occurred, civil affairs cadres suspected that the patient who stayed in the camp to recuperate was suspected of committing the crime, the suspect recovered the next day and went to work, but theft continued to occur in the camp, which cleared the suspects to a certain extent. After all, Chen Yixin came from later generations. Even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run away. He was not afraid to guess the bottom line of these people with the greatest malicious intention. He directly ordered his subordinates to take the person first and then find evidence, and directly captured the real murderer.

After the interrogation, it was learned that they had an accomplice in another battalion, and soldiers immediately took the order to catch the man. However, this fish that almost missed the net was actually quite unfair. Because he was not lucky, he was unable to assign the same battalion with his accomplice, so he did not dare to do anything at will. At the time of the incident, he had never done a case, but was betrayed by his accomplice for nothing.

It is indeed not that much sense of accomplishment for Chen Yixin to solve the case, and it only took a few hours from the time he took over to the time of solving the case. However, the civil affairs cadres in District C regarded Chen Yixin as their savior, because if the case was delayed and solved, the camp managers would definitely be held accountable for their dereliction of duty, and perhaps even the civil servant position they had finally obtained was lost. Chen Yixin was able to find out the case so quickly, arrest the perpetrators and recover the stolen goods, which really helped the camp managers get a big trouble.

The stolen person was obtained and the confession was also obtained, so the next step was to deal with it. However, although Kaohsiung Port is currently a military-controlled area, Chen Yixin would not directly make a decision to punish these people. For the sake of reason, he must also inform the local civil affairs chief, not to mention that the other person's background is indeed bigger than his.

The official assigned by the Executive Committee to Kaohsiung Port to preside over colonial, infrastructure and other affairs is Anxi, who serves multiple positions in multiple departments of the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry.

Anxi is a professional civil engineering. In the early stage of the construction of Shengli Port, he was assigned to Shengli Port Salt Field as the supervisor, and planned and implemented the construction and operation of the subsequent Tielu Port Salt Field, Yinggehai Salt Field, Danzhou Bay Salt Field, Annan Heitu Port Salt Field, and Jinlan Port Salt Field. It can be said that Haihan's salt production system was almost all created by him, and it was the Haihan fine salt produced in these salt fields that defeated the official salt with better quality and low prices, becoming an indispensable hard currency in the Haihan trading system.

After several years of struggle, Anxi no longer had to focus on production in the salt farm personally. Naturally, the naturalized civilian cadres brought out in the past few years were responsible for specific work. This time, the Executive Committee decided to open a colony in Taiwan, and Anxi was selected as the list of chief officials responsible for civil affairs with excellent personal conditions.

In terms of civil affairs management capabilities, there are many people among the time travelers who can do it. After all, after training over the past few years, many people have accumulated experience in grassroots management through the continuous expansion of their territory. However, Anxi finally won the favor of the Executive Committee with his professional background in civil engineering, because a large number of infrastructure projects need to be implemented in a new colony like Kaohsiung Port, and Anxi is selected to serve as the chief officer in the local area, so the Ministry of Construction does not need to appoint technical officials to preside over the project.

In addition, Anxi has been in charge of the salt industry for nearly five years. The total amount of foreign salt industry trade he handled has reached millions of taels of silver. He has accumulated rich operating experience in business negotiations and trade operations. For the future business positioning of Kaohsiung Port, having such an expert in taking charge will make the Executive Committee feel more at ease.

Of course, if Anxi is interested, he can build another salt farm on the coast of Kaohsiung Port and continue to bring his familiar old business to the local area. With Haihan's approach to salt management, it will take less than a year to capture the salt trade on the island.

However, it is said that the executive committee member dismissed him when he made his last suggestion, because the reason was that Taiwan's best natural salt farm was not in Kaohsiung, but was located between the Dutch-controlled Dayuan Port and the Han territory that was immigrated by Shibazhi in the early days, which was the coast of Budai Town, Chiayi County in later generations. In the space and time before crossing, Budai Salt Field, Changlu Salt Field in Bohai Bay and Yinggehai Salt Field in Hainan Island were called the three major salt farms in my country. As the salt manager, Anxi, has a private wish to gather the achievements of these three major salt farms in his lifetime. The location of Budai Salt Field is opposite to Penghu, and the straight-line distance from Kaohsiung is less than 100 kilometers. Anxi naturally does not want to spend time and effort on the coast of Kaohsiung Port. At the current expansion speed of Haihan, it is only a matter of time before it can be taken down the Budai Salt Field area.

Anxi is seven years older than Chen Yixin, and he is now in his early thirties. Moreover, his status and contributions within Haihan are far greater than those of Chen Yixin, a junior. Therefore, the current leadership team in Kaohsiung is mainly based on Anxi, with Chen Yixin as the auxiliary. Chen Yixin naturally needs to seek the opinions of his predecessors when handling public security cases.
