Han Zhengshan watched and quickly discovered another advantage of this weird shooting posture, which is full concealment.In such a posture lying on the ground, it is difficult to observe its existence from hundreds of feet away. If it is placed in a wild environment, choose a sheltered position to lurk, as long as you do not actively shoot to expose the position, it is almost equivalent to stealth.
Han Zhengshan immediately told Marcus what he thought, and after listening to it, Marcus said with a smile: "You said this, they have already prepared for it, and they will wear a pullover that looks like grass when they go out on missions. Outside, if you lie down in the grass, you won’t be able to see people at all. And the face and exposed skin will be covered with oil paint, and you will definitely not be able to see the human form.”
Although he has never seen the scene described by Marcus, Han Zhengshan has already firmly believed in it. Since the Haihan people can invent a unit like the sniper, how can they not have supporting tactics?As long as the people of Haihan put in some effort to study this technique of camouflage and lurking, it will surely not be difficult for them at all.
After the two groups finished shooting ten minutes, they rested for a while, and then the two in the group switched roles and continued shooting.Probably because of the warm hands, the hit rate of the two groups has been further improved this time, and each of them only missed one shot.Han Zhengshan was engrossed in watching it, and it was Marcus who urged him twice before returning to continue his training with great reluctance.
Regarding Haihan's military strength, Han Zhengshan could no longer find a suitable adjective to evaluate it. "Invincible" sounds a bit exaggerated, but it seems that this is the only word that can describe the image of Haihan's army in his heart.Although the elite sniper soldiers are extremely rare in the Haihan Army, their power is astonishing. Han Zhengshan even believes that their role may be greater than artillery, because although artillery is powerful, its accuracy is far inferior to this sniper rifle If you want to accurately kill the enemy commander on the battlefield, it is obvious that the sniper soldiers you have just seen are more suitable.
Of course, Han Zhengshan knew very well that he was just a layman on how to configure the arms to command operations, and the black officer Marcus who was in charge of training him was also much more professional than himself.So he didn't make rash comments, and went to practice his own honestly.
At the same time, Tan Juren, Han Zhengshan's immediate boss, is having a headache about how to allocate the labor force.When he went south, he thought that the immigrants he brought could effectively alleviate the local labor shortage, but after he came here to see it, he found that the actual labor gap far exceeded his expectations.
There are still many infrastructure projects in Xingdao that are slow to progress or even stalled due to lack of manpower. For example, the immigrant village that has not yet accommodated all immigrants is one of them.At present, nearly [-] immigrants are temporarily living in tents due to insufficient housing. Building housing for them is of course one of the first problems Tan Ju has to solve after taking office.
In addition, Tan Juren also has plans for agricultural development that he wants to implement as soon as possible. For this reason, he specially applied for two technicians from the Ministry of Agriculture to bring them here. Let the local people get benefits one day earlier.Although the real benefit period of cash crops may not start until several years later, many successful experiences show that this is still one of the most worthwhile projects in the colony.Investing a lot of labor in this field to speed up development is a very cost-effective choice in Tan Juren's view.
However, these two most basic infrastructure projects are stuck in the labor distribution link, because Roger hopes to concentrate human resources on the port project and complete the construction of the docks and fortifications as soon as possible so that more people can be stationed locally. Warships, as well as a reliable shore defense capability for the port area.
Is military defense important?Of course it is important, and Tan Juren has no doubts about this, especially after Roger has explained the current surrounding situation and potential risks to him, it is reasonable to prioritize the implementation of necessary preparations for war.
But this does not mean that other infrastructure and development projects are not important. For Tan Juren, these jobs are his political achievements and a means for him to prove his worth, just like the record of leading troops in combat is to Roger. .If all the manpower is assigned to Roger, how will I write my work report later?Do you do a good job of supporting the army just by bragging about it?
"The pier needs to be repaired, and other things can't be left behind!" Tan Juren's attitude is very firm. He knows that if he continues to make concessions, Roger will undoubtedly take away all the local labor force—maybe he will pick a group of people to go there Receive militia training.
Roger sighed and said: "Time waits for no one! If a war really breaks out later, what we do now may determine the direction of the battle. You have to focus on the overall situation!"
"Steadying people's hearts is also the overall situation!" Tan Juren was a little dissatisfied with Roger's use of "big picture" to overwhelm him. He thought that after coming to Sing Tao, he has been more in line with Roger's arrangements in the past few days, and the work handover between the two parties is also step by step. It was going on, but Luo Jie wanted to push himself hard on this issue of labor distribution, but Tan Juren refused to give in easily.
Seeing that he refused to give in, Roger felt a little headache. He knew very well that the purpose of the Executive Committee's appointment of Tan Ju was not only to strengthen infrastructure development and other civil affairs and economic affairs, but it was actually more or less for the purpose of decentralization and checks and balances.The other party is not his subordinate, but an administrative official at the same level. Except during wartime, he has no right to force the other party to obey his own arrangements in local affairs.Judging from his reaction, Tan Juren is obviously not the kind of person who is obedient and muddling along. Of course, if he is the kind of weak-tempered person who just wants to be the emperor of the earth, he probably won't apply to come to such a remote place as Xingdao, after all. The degree of hardship in this place is probably comparable to that of Sanya in the early days of crossing.
The two discussed for a long time, and finally negotiated the ratio of labor division: the military will take [-]% of it, and the remaining [-]% will be allocated to Tan Juren.Although both of them are still a little bit unwilling, but for the current situation of Xingdao, it seems that they can't find a better distribution plan.
A clever woman can't cook without rice. Although Tan Juren also has some plans for the development of Xingdao, but there is not enough manpower available, most of these plans cannot be implemented at all.For a moment, he even wanted to call back all the subordinates who were undergoing training and handing over work, and let them pick up poles and hoes to work.
Of course, even if such a few people are added, the number of labor forces that Tan Juren can command is still far from enough, and no matter how high his own status is, it is impossible for one person to be used as a hundred people. Simultaneous implementation is definitely not realistic.
"Let's solve life problems first!" Tan Juren could only make a choice helplessly.
People's survival requirements are nothing more than food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Needless to say, people on Xingdao basically rely on two legs to travel, and the limited ox carts are generally used to pull goods. The scope of activities of the people on the road is relatively limited, and there is no errand that requires long-distance travel.As for dressing, even poor new immigrants can enjoy the work clothes issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and immigrants will never be reduced to the point where they don't cover their clothes.Food is not a problem. Although the local food production is not enough for self-sufficiency, the regular arrival of supply ships will keep Xingdao's food reserves at more than two months' consumption.
The only problem that has not been properly resolved is housing. Due to the lack of labor on the island, enough resettlement houses could not be built before the arrival of these immigrants. Tan Juren decided to concentrate the limited manpower on hand to solve this problem as soon as possible.
There are two types of immigrant residences in Xingdao. One is a residence built with bamboo and wood structures and adobe walls, and the other is a Chinese-style courtyard built with traditional masonry structures.However, due to the limited production capacity of the local brick kilns in the latter type of houses, only a few people can live in them through lottery.
Tan Juren wanted to solve the housing problem of immigrants in a short period of time, and it was obviously not practical to expand the brick kiln to increase production capacity, because the labor required for brick kiln production was not much less than building a house.Therefore, he can only choose a relatively simple adobe house to solve the current housing problem.
Tan Juren finally got about [-] migrant workers, but the number of houses he needed to complete was more than [-], which was not an easy job.Fortunately, there are also a few experienced foremen among these people, who can assist him in commanding the construction site.
These migrant workers were divided into two groups by Tan Juren. One group was responsible for leveling the foundations outside the existing immigrant villages, and the other group was responsible for preparing various raw materials for building materials.Tan Juren had done similar work in the early days of time travel. Although it had been several years, it was smooth when he got started again. He even unconsciously remembered the difficult years seven or eight years ago.
The people don't have much complaints about the arrangement of these labor tasks. Anyway, as long as they follow the instructions and complete the daily labor tasks, they will get corresponding labor points. The labor-intensive or high-skilled errands will naturally get points. will be a little more.Only when the monthly labor points are accumulated enough can they continue to enjoy the living conditions provided by the official Haihan, otherwise they may be revoked their national status due to laziness.
Under the premise of sufficient manpower and materials, it takes about three days to build a private house, and Tan Juren directed the migrant workers to build five houses at the same time. Roughly calculated, the current housing needs can be completed within one month.Of course, the premise is that these migrant workers under him will not be taken away by Roger again, otherwise there must be insufficient manpower.
Although the manpower can be said to be stretched, Tan Juren can't change the current situation of Xingdao by himself. He can only revise his original plan according to this situation, postpone what should be postponed, and what should be changed.When he made his work plan in Sanya, he didn't expect to encounter such a difficult situation after going south.
Sanya has not experienced a labor shortage for a long time. No matter what the project requires a large number of people, as long as the relevant documents are issued in Shengli Fort, manpower can be dispatched to the implementation stage soon.As far as Tan Juren knows, there are more than [-] construction workers active in various construction sites in Sanya in the various construction teams under the Ministry of Construction alone.It is basically unimaginable in Sanya to build a few resettlement houses like this and not be able to find enough manpower to carry out the construction.
For the current plan, Tan Juren can only hope that the follow-up immigrants arranged by his superiors will arrive as soon as possible.According to the information he got from the Executive Committee before his departure, at least two batches of immigrants will be sent to Xingdao to settle in this year, but there is a high probability that they will have to wait until the second half of the year.Before that, he probably has a few months to endure the status quo. In addition, he prayed that the war that Roger said would not come so soon, otherwise everyone on the island would have to stop work under his wartime call-up order and act as a temporary assistant. Military.
But it seems that they are really afraid of something. On April [-], the armed patrol team discovered an unidentified ship in a bay [-] miles north of Xinggang. At that time, the ship was trying to approach the coast of Xingdao, but After discovering the patrol team, they hurriedly turned around and drove to the north shore of the Johor Strait.
"Ordinary fishing boats will not take the risk to land here. It is likely to be a spy boat from Johor." After receiving the report, Roger did not dare to be careless, and immediately notified Tan Juren to meet and inform him of the news.Although Tan Juren is only the chief executive and not involved in the military, the two traversers are currently sitting in Xingdao, and when major events happen in the local area, only the two of them discuss and make decisions.
Haihan's station in Xingdao is concentrated near the Xinggang on the south side of the island, and there are no residents in the north of the island, and the fishing boats he belongs to will not go around the Johor Strait in the north, let alone turn around and leave when the patrol team sees it, so The identity of this ship can immediately rule out its own ownership.On the north side of the Strait of Johor is the country of Johor that is currently eyeing Sing Dao, so Roger's speculation is well-founded, and it is very likely to be true.
"Don't we have ships patrolling the Straits of Johor? Is there any way to stop the other side's spying activities?" Tan Juren also agreed with Roger's view, but his thinking was a bit too simple.
Roger shook his head and said: "This is basically impossible. The east and west ends of the Johor Strait are hundreds of miles long. It is impossible for us to deploy so many warships there. In fact, the navy is currently in the Johor Strait. The patrol frequency is only once a week, and the army's patrols are once every three days, so it is impossible to completely prevent the outside world from infiltrating from the north. This time it was just luck, and it happened to hit it."
Tan Juren also knew that this was because the Xingdao garrison had limited strength, and it was impossible to spread the defense net too wide.The establishment of a battalion sounds like a lot of people, but the coastline of Xingdao is more than 100 kilometers long, and the area is [-] square kilometers. On average, there are less than two soldiers per square kilometer. Patrols with a limited frequency would be too fantastical to be able to completely prevent outside infiltration.
