Chapter 125, guaranteed to complete the mission!
After fully communicating with Wu Jiarong about the production status of subsequent scientific and technological industrial lines, Gu Hang inspected the situation of Feidong Society again.
Patel, the former leader of Feidong Society and current head of the heavy industrial base, didn't even have time to see him!
Of course, this is an exaggeration. Really, what job could be more important than meeting the Governor?
It’s just that Gu Hang didn’t let Patel come to see him. Instead, he took the initiative to accompany Patel and check on their work situation.
It's really busy.
Perbov also changed out of his military uniform and accompanied them. The day before, following orders, he led his battalion and escorted tens of thousands of people to Feidongshe.
These tens of thousands of people were evacuated from the city in the storm disaster that hit Fuxing City before, and became homeless. They were not transferred back by Ossena to rebuild the city, but simply brought some of the food and supplies that were transported out of the city and were escorted by the troops to Weixing City.
A small number of people were settled in the former governor's camp, the main city of Weixing City, and filled in the light industrial factories there. Textile factories, construction teams, equipment assembly plants, cement plants, electrical appliance plants and other places in Weixing City welcomed a lot of new laborers like sweet dew after a long time.
Under the overall planning, there is no shortage of business. The arrival of so many people requires more houses, more raw materials for construction, more clothes, and more basic electrical appliances such as water heaters and electric lights. And these things are even more in short supply in the outer city that is being rebuilt in Fuxing City, and there are too many orders to complete.
The improvement of productivity requires more labor, and after they earn work points, or even the advanced treatment they get by "loaning" before earning work points, they need to produce it themselves to meet their own needs.
But despite this, we cannot keep everyone in Weixing City.
Also under the administrative division of Weixing City, the more important heavy industrial base in Feidongshe can accommodate a larger population.
The core alloy smelting industry has always been a major consumer of the population.
The production of alloy plastic-steel mother machine black boxes has never stopped, but many of the production lines can only remain in the assembly stage, or even gather dust in the warehouse, because there is a lack of sufficient manpower to operate these production machines.
Further derived are metal processing plants, bulletproof plate production lines, automobile industry, military industry...the number of people that can be employed seems endless.
Most of the people who moved from Fuxing City were settled in a settlement near the heavy industrial center in the abandoned cave area of Weixing City.
Some of the empty houses that were built here before have become temporary resettlement sites. A house that was originally allocated to one family may have to accommodate 20 people at once.
Even so, it was still not enough, after all, the population that came was even several times more than the entire population of the original abandoned cave area. In the end, they could only use temporary tents and sheds for resettlement, waiting for multiple construction teams to start building houses at full capacity.
Moreover, not all of these people can be used immediately.
There are indeed some low-end industries in Feidongshe Industrial Zone, and people can be barely competent for the job by sending them for a short period of pre-production training. But when it comes to a series of jobs that require relatively high standards for industrial workers, such as fine processing and vehicle assembly, short-term training is not enough.
Fortunately, Gu Hang had previously implemented the night school policy in Feidong Society, and it continues to be effective.
The work of population literacy and basic skills training has been put on the right track. Now that there are so many more people, let's go in and do the literacy work together. Herding one sheep is the same as herding a bunch of sheep... although this bunch is a bit too much.
However, the population of the wasteland has many problems, but there is one thing that cannot be underestimated. Although there are many illiterate people, many of them are not really without any skills. After all, the wasteland society is not a primitive society. Most of them have seen guns, used guns, and maintained guns; many people, who can't read a few words, can repair and tinker with small things.
In the past, these people just didn't have the opportunity. Now that they have the opportunity, the cost of training is actually not too high.
"It won't be long before these people will no longer be a burden, but the freshest blood for the continued development of our industry!"
Patel said this to Gu Hang proudly.
…
Gu Hang was quite satisfied with the development of the Feidong Industrial Zone.
We are finally on the right track. As time goes by, the overall production capacity will grow exponentially.
The seeds that were planted at the beginning have now reached the stage of taking root and sprouting.
With a satisfied mood, Gu Hang spent the night in Feidongshe. Early the next morning, he hurriedly boarded a helicopter and returned to Fuxing City.
Accompanying him was Perbov.
He will participate in today's award ceremony.
Perbov is not the most important one, but after all, he commands the 2nd Battalion and has performed relatively well in a series of previous battles in Fuxing City. His troops are still performing tasks in the Abandoned Cave District and cannot get back for the time being, but he, as the chief officer, must go back and bring back the medals that his brothers deserve.
However, when traveling on the same plane with the Governor, Perbov was still a little nervous.
Although they were relatively familiar with each other, he had never had the opportunity to stay in a relatively private space for a long period of time with the Governor, whom he was grateful to and respected.
This made him a little uncomfortable.
He has always been a very open person, and he usually talks a lot. But at this moment, with no tasks in front of him, he didn't know what to say. But if he kept silent, it would not feel good.
However, he soon stopped caring about the awkward atmosphere.
Gu Hang opened his mouth and brought up the serious matter with him.
It is about some arrangements for his own work in the future.
"Now, the 1st Combined Brigade to be organized should be headed by Yan Fangxu, and the 2nd Infantry Division should be headed by Thadius, who will also serve as the political commissar of both divisions. This situation is definitely only temporary and cannot be maintained for a long time."
"Later, when the construction of the troops is completed and it is time for regular training, including combat, the two of them will still be pulled out to do unified dispatch. The specific command and management of the troops will be handed over to others."
"I would like you to be the commander of the 1st Combined Brigade."
Pobov now looks a little scratching his head.
It was impossible to say that he hadn't thought about these things on a regular basis.
He had thought about it after hearing about this round of military expansion.
Apart from that guy Yan Fangxu, there should be no one else in the entire army who is more qualified and capable than him to take on this position.
To put it bluntly, the only ones who were competitive were the five battalion commanders that the Governor had brought into Fuxing City. He was the most senior, experienced, and had the most outstanding combat record.
But who knows if there will be any surprises?
After all, if we really talk about seniority, the difference between us is not that big. It's only been about a month. What seniority is there to talk about? I was also lucky and had a head start.
What's more, who knows if there will be any special circumstances?
After all, there was the example of Thadius. That guy also came from the abandoned company. He was a squad leader, and after fighting a battle, he became a hero. He also jumped to become the division commander and the head of the political department of the entire army.
No one can match this speed of promotion.
In fact, many people are jealous in private.
To be honest, Thaddeus just popped his head out to touch the hole. Although the previous hole killed a Space Marine and a Battle Sister, and it was obvious that any mortal who touched it would die, he won.
But some people don't think so. What you, Thaddeus, can do, I can do too, it's just that I wasn't there at the time, or I didn't run fast enough.
Otherwise, I would be the teacher now!
Whenever Perbov heard such rumors among his team, he would start cursing.
What's the point of saying all this? When that time comes, most people won't dare to take a single step forward, fearing that they will be ordered to die by their superiors.
Not to mention, I really have the ability to walk out of there.
Others haven't seen it, but hasn't he seen how powerful Space Marines and Battle Sisters are? Others couldn't do it and lost their lives, but Thaddius did it. That's a great skill, and everyone has to admit it.
Those who are sarcastic should be whipped.
And now, what the Governor just said is true - it must be true, otherwise how could he be deceived?
He would officially become the third most powerful person in the entire army, after Yan Fangxu and Thadius. In fact, in terms of real power, he would be the number one.
After all, the largest and strongest armed force is directly under one's own hands.
Can I bear this responsibility?
Even when Thadius had accomplished remarkable feats, he would still be criticized in private. If he became the brigade commander, what would the other four battalion commanders think of their former colleague becoming their superior?
As the helicopter clanged and swayed, many thoughts came to Pobov's mind because of Governor Gu's words.
But these thoughts were taken back by Governor Gu's words: "However, our situation has always been quite special. It's hard to say about qualifications, in fact, we have just come out of the struggle; only by talking about ability and contribution can we convince the public. So, if I want to arrange for you, I can't just appoint you directly, otherwise it will be difficult for you to carry out your future work."
Perbov quickly listened carefully and felt the key point.
"After the awarding ceremony, you will return to Weixing City immediately. Thadius will send the recruits from the Recruiting Department to come back with you. I temporarily authorize you to recruit a group of soldiers in Weixing City to fill up your camp. Including a large number of weapons and equipment, even if they are not mass-produced, they will be allocated from the research institute for your use."
"At that time, your battalion will be reorganized into the 1st Battalion of the 1st Combined Brigade, and will be the first to complete the full deployment. I want you to prepare the troops within half a month, and then start operations in all directions with the Waste Cave Industrial Zone as the center."
"At that time, Yan Fangxu will give you a clear battle target. With the abandoned cave area as the core, there should be about 7-10 survivor settlements of varying sizes within a hundred kilometers. I will give you another half a month. I want to see these camps definitely raise the flag of the new alliance and definitely submit to the new order."
Perbov was embarrassed to stand up, but he excitedly straightened his chest in his seat and saluted: "I understand! I promise to complete the mission!"
He was a little excited!
He knew that this was the Governor-General's way of accumulating merits for him, paving the way for the next step and facilitating his future work.
Having this opportunity, he felt that if he couldn't do the job assigned by the Governor well, he should really find a toilet and drown himself!
