Here is a brief introduction: The size of the second phase of the seagoing fleet is more than three times that of the first phase, with a total tonnage of more than 3.4 million tons. Six states along the southeastern coast have worked together to achieve such a scale. As for the third phase of the plan, it is estimated that there is nothing we can do this year, and it will most likely have to wait until after the year.
This is not a question of money. Even a skilled woman cannot make a meal without rice. Even building a ship takes time.
After the sea-going ceremony, under the arrangement of Governor Li, everyone came to the state canteen to eat.
To be honest, the food in the cafeteria is not very good. It is a typical three dishes and one soup. All three dishes are vegetarian, and only the seafood soup is considered half a meat dish.
"Everyone, our conditions are limited, so please be patient." Governor Li said politely.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to improve his food standards.
It's just a special period. The federation has issued new regulations to strictly enforce frugality. They can't follow each other openly and avoid being caught. After all, those present today are basically old foxes in the officialdom.
Governor Duan of Minzhou shook his head and complained quickly: "Old Li, your food is already very good. At least you can still see the smell of meat. To be honest, we in Minzhou don't know the taste of meat anymore in March." "Yes, we are the same in Bay State."
Bay State Governor Lin Aishan followed and sighed.
Others also complained incessantly.
Although it has only been more than half a year since the eruption of Sulfur Rock Volcano, the consequences of the disaster are getting worse in an all-round way. The first thing that faces everyone is the problem of eating.
This is also the biggest problem.
Governor Li quickly clapped his hands: "Listen to me, everyone, in order to express your sincerity, when the first fleet comes back from Antarctica, you can advance part of the fish catch to meet your urgent needs."
"Advance? How much is the maximum amount that can be advanced?"
The speaker was Guizhou Governor Han Weiliang.
Compared with the other five states, Guizhou's economic level is undoubtedly the worst and it is also the one that needs the most help.
"As far as I know, about 600,000 tons of fish were harvested this time, mainly whale meat and Antarctic krill. Each of your five families can advance more than 20,000 tons." Governor Li thought for a while and replied.
.
"Only 20,000 tons? Is it too little?"
Lin Aishan frowned.
Governor Li hurriedly explained: "Our state capital only accounts for 30% of this batch of fish catch, which is 180,000 tons of fish catch, which is equivalent to taking out more than half at one time."
"What about the remaining 70%? Who does it belong to?"
"It belongs to us." Mayor He replied on the spot, "We, Huicheng, plus Shencheng, Xiangcheng, and other nine cities, as well as Director Zhang, have a total of 14 shareholders, and on average they only hold half of the shares." "That's right, we only have 5% of the shares in Fucheng, which translates into 30,000 tons of fish, which is only 10,000 tons more than you. Don't be dissatisfied."
Lin Aishan suddenly lost her temper and said: "You're changing the concept, right? You are a city-level unit, we are a state-level unit, there is no comparison at all."
"We don't care about this. We took a lot of risks back then, and we can't give you profits for nothing." Mayor He waved his hand.
"We received it in advance, but we didn't get it for free, so how can we say that we will give up the profit?"
Lin Aishan said tit for tat.
When Zhang Hao saw this, he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over:
"Governor Lin, these 500,000 tons are indeed not enough to share. Please bear with me for a while. This time the fleet goes to sea and will be back before the end of the year at the earliest. By then, each family will be divided into hundreds of thousands of tons. Isn't it easy to catch it?" p>
"Director Zhang, the fish catch in Antarctica is limited after all. Who knows how much we can harvest? To be honest, we are not as optimistic as you."
Lin Aishan smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Zhang Hao quickly reassured everyone: "Don't be discouraged, everyone. The Southern Ocean is very big and cannot be harvested in a short while. Besides, other regions are busy taking care of themselves. There are only a handful of people who can compete with us."
"What Director Zhang said is true. Europa, the most competitive country at the moment, is in dire straits due to the refugee issue. South America is in a state of chaos. The other major regions combined are less than one-tenth of our size..."<
/p>
Governor Li quickly agreed.
Lin Aishan interrupted directly: "Don't forget that there is also the Federation. The Federation now has tens of thousands of ocean-going ships, and we only account for one percent of them at best."
"The Federation still has a rescue mission, and it can't spare its resources for the time being. Besides, Mayor Liao is about to take over the Federation. How can we treat our own people badly then?"
Mayor Chen of Zhucheng couldn't help but interject.
"Old Chen, you are thinking too wonderfully. No matter who comes to power, they will consciously stand on the side of the federation. There will always be a game between the federation and the local governments."
Lin Aishan simply told the truth.
"Well, after all, there is still a difference between intimacy and distance."
As the mayor of the federal capital, whether Mayor Chen wants it or not, he naturally stands on the side of the federation. In a sense, he is not the same person as everyone present.
"Okay, stop talking and just do as I say. Each of you can advance 20,000 tons."
Governor Li quickly knocked on the table.
Any further discussion will involve some inside information. After all, the cafeteria is a public place, not a private club. You must pay attention to propriety in everything.
"Okay, two tons is two tons, thanks."
The situation is stronger than the people. Lin Aishan and others can only choose to accept it. Who said that Director Zhang is not theirs?
Now it's too late to win over.
……
Time soon came to July 1st. Ji Zhangqiu, the eleventh chief executive of the Federation, was sworn in in Zhucheng, which also meant that the capital move was completely completed.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lao Zhang's family had just finished dinner.
Village Chief Fan suddenly paid a visit.
Zhang Hao welcomed the other party into the living room and asked with a smile: "Uncle Fan, you always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. What do you want to see me for?"
"I have good news for you. The power in the town has been restored, and it will be our village's turn soon." Village Chief Fan said with excitement.
Although there are already wind turbines in the village, the power supply is too unstable. At most, it can only provide light, and it is difficult to boil water.
"Really? Hey, it's finally here, and it's much slower than I expected."
Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh.
After all, Huicheng is a super first-tier city with a low latitude, so logically it shouldn’t be delayed until now.
"There is no other way. This time we need to carry out an overall overhaul of the lines. All pipelines must be underground, so as to do it once and for all and avoid another major blackout." Village Chief Fan explained casually.
"Underground?" Zhang Chongxin couldn't help but be a little curious, "This project is not small. Can it be completed before the end of the month?"
"There should be no problem. The power supply bureau has been idle for the past six months. I heard that the pipeline has been almost dug. We just need to install the final lines. The power will definitely be restored before the end of the month."
Village Chief Fan has a well-thought-out approach.
Zhang Hao nodded and then asked: "What about the tap water? When will the water be available?"
Not to mention Shawei Village, even the urban area still has no water supply, and it relies entirely on water supply trucks to provide water every day.
"The water supply is quite troublesome and it is said that it will be delayed."
Village Chief Fan shook his head.
Huicheng is located in a low latitude area, and the water pipes have not taken anti-freezing measures at all, so the damage is serious and cannot be restored in a short time.
In addition, because the water source has been contaminated by volcanic ash, the water plant needs to be upgraded and all drinking water needs to be fully filtered.
Only in this way can the safety of drinking water be ensured.
This is much more troublesome than restoring power.
