The reason why he was assigned to join the navy must have been to extend his hand into the navy at first, but it is hard to say why later on, especially since the other party, like the intelligence department, performs the duty of monitoring the navy.
It is definitely not like what Xu Guyu said, only progress has been made in this aspect. Who would want to be monitored? In terms of this aspect, I am afraid that there will be more resistance than reaching in, so I must have worked extra hard to achieve it.
Why surveillance? Preventing non-direct relatives is definitely one aspect, but don’t forget that he himself also used water power to get into trouble back then. It is estimated that surveillance started after that.
Talking about the naval factions, there are four main factions, namely, the Fengxing, Fujian, Cantonese and Dianlei factions. Those stationed in the south of the Yangtze River are mainly the Fujian faction, and even the Navy Department was controlled by them in the past and did not want to follow Chiang Kai-shek.
The Lightning Faction is a new faction. Chiang Kai-shek built some torpedo boats and the like, and then established an Lightning School. On the surface, it was already fighting with the Fujian faction in the Navy Department. It was really a mess.
pulpy.
After Chiang Kai-shek took power, he was either fighting here or there every year. How could he have the money to build a navy? Except for being dragged into a power struggle by him, the actual strength at hand was pitifully weak.
It's okay to engage in a power struggle, but it's really not of much use. Not to mention, there are people who made trouble in the Zangben incident, and it obviously has no practical effect.
Although he was responsible for the majority of them, he would definitely not recognize them. Seeing that those people were of no use and the water threat was real, he was ready to start a new one.
Throughout the Republic of China, there were indeed many threats and harms brought by the water. Not to mention what he himself did, countries outside the region often drove warships to bombard and interfere with threats.
And the capital Nanjing is on the riverside. The Japanese's previous actions were almost like pointing a gun at his head. He couldn't think of a way to solve it. He probably couldn't sleep.
The decision to start a new one must be related to the reasons mentioned by Xu Guyu, but Lin Mo's plan to find subsidies probably has a lot of reasons, otherwise it would not be so big. After all, the government's income has begun to shrink, and the previous promising ones
It's not even enough for him.
Moreover, this newly formed group obviously has many calculations. For example, it is organized into regiments, and its subordinates are obviously assigned to the army. The person in charge selected is not the same as the navy faction.
Even if we get to the bottom of it, he is considered a member of the Army. He is trying to bring in strength from the Army to compete with the factions in the Navy.
The fact that they were able to lose such a large establishment did take some credit from the boat force, but they must also share the firepower with the other party. After all, the current man's foundation in the navy was handed over to them.
Of course, fortunately, this is mutual. The large establishment of the boat force and the power brought in by this arrangement can also share the pressure of intelligence and stop some people's mouths.
"One thousand people is too many, and it would be too eye-catching to organize it all at once. My suggestion is to do it step by step! Start with three to five hundred people, and then slowly compile them all."
Xu Guyu nodded and said: "I have discussed with the boss, and we have the same idea. We will start with 300, and no more than 500 at most. In the short term, this number should be enough for us to use."
After listening, Lin Mo thought again and replied: "We can also include more logistics and technical personnel. Those ships need sufficient logistics and maintenance before they can be put into use smoothly.
Otherwise, if you are just lying around all the time, you might as well build a few wooden boats for use! It is best to recruit these people as soon as possible, and then send them to shipyards and other places to build and learn from them. Otherwise, it may take a lot of time to get the boats ready.
It takes time to learn and adapt before you can get started.
It is also best to recruit ordinary police officers as soon as possible, and those who are good at water and even work on boats for a long time. After recruiting them, we must also focus on training for shooting. Most of the boats we use should only be small boats, which will inevitably bump and shake.
Shooting these things up there is completely different than shooting them on land."
Upon hearing the recruitment problem, Boss Dai looked directly at Lin Mo. Seeing his scalp numbing, he asked: "Can those logistics technicians and the like just pick some from shipyards and other places and use them directly?"
?”
Lin Mo heard this, smiled bitterly, and replied bravely: "Boss, this is not feasible, the shipyard is also short of people! We still need them to do things beautifully!"
In addition, the requirements of the two are actually different. Shipyard workers focus on construction, while they follow the construction, and the focus is on being familiar with the structure of the entire ship.
Shipyards have now begun to adopt an assembly line format, that is, different parts are assigned to different people, and they do not understand the entire construction process.
The most important thing is that testing these processes is completely carried out by another group of people. Only by going through this process together can we understand where the ship is prone to failure, how to repair it, etc. This is the key.
In addition, it is not too difficult to recruit people in this field at the moment. With the fluctuation of silver prices, many industries have suffered a lot. It is not difficult to recruit some people who know a little bit about machinery. After recruiting people, I went there for a visit.
Then you are basically qualified for this kind of work.”
After Boss Dai listened, he thought about it carefully and felt that it was not too difficult, so he nodded, but looking back, he gave the job to Xu Guyu.
Yes! Lin Mo knew that there was a high probability that this had nothing to do with him. It was so obvious! Xu Guyu's gaze swept over him.
After another in-depth communication, the general direction of the issue was roughly determined, and Lin Mo got busy again. Of course, Xu Guyu was also with him, because it involved some decisions and other issues, and he needed to make preliminary decisions.
The one who ran first was naturally the man who would be responsible for the preparation of the boat force. His surname was Qi and his given name was Han. He was from Zhejiang. He was most of Lin Mo's hometown. He had lived in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang, which is opposite Hangzhou and only separated by the Qiantang River.
After arriving, after a polite conversation, Lin Mo explained the general situation in detail and answered some of the other party's questions.
Although he is not satisfied with some details, the current conditions can only achieve that level. No matter how much he demands, let alone whether he has the ability, he can't bear it with just money.
Principal Jiang has agreed to pay in full for the advance needs of the boat force, but everyone also knows that if there is really no restraint, Principal Jiang will have nothing to do. To put it bluntly, everyone can only carve flowers on grains of rice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In terms of personnel, Chiang Kai-shek is planning to send out a group of new recruits who will train themselves. The disadvantage is that they have to work hard, but the advantage is that they are basically equivalent to a blank piece of paper.
Let them do what they want, avoiding problems such as the chaos that may result from a struggle for power.
Of course, there are also veterans who were sent to the rear for treatment and recuperation after the battle, including some junior officers. It is estimated that middle and senior officers will also be transferred from various places.
It's obvious! Chiang Kai-shek probably suffered a loss from the Thunder Force, and he didn't want the boat force to be held back in various ways in the early stage, and end up in a mess.
Of course, it can also be seen as the importance that Chiang Kai-shek attaches to him. Regardless of whether it is true or false, at least that is what he thinks.
Lin Mo also reminded him about the logistics and technical personnel issues, how about working with Boss Dai to get together? He also drew Lin Mo's attention.
Lin Mo explained a few times, declined politely, diverted attention with training questions, and designed some training equipment for him, such as a wooden board hung on a rope that could shake the mate, to train shooting on the ship.
Of course, there are also wave roads, driving a truck, having people stand and shoot in the car, imitating a boat maneuvering in the water and shooting, etc. It can be said that it is a lot of things to come up with.
He was satisfied, and Lin Mo was also satisfied. After all, he had helped him a lot, and the two of them had also developed a close relationship with each other. Not to mention personal relationships, the Marine Police and the police would inevitably have many interactions with them in the future to help maintain a good relationship.
, is still necessary.
Of course, what the other party is most concerned about are the strategic plans. If the boat force wants to really get it up and running, making money is a link that is difficult to bypass.
In the past few days, Lin Mo has roughly designed a plan for it, which is based on a ship platform to operate various businesses. Of course, this ship is not a warship or a cargo ship, but a barge, a barge, and the like.
Barges have been mentioned before, and barges also belong to a category of unpowered ships. However, they are not used for navigation. They are usually docked in certain waters and used as water facilities for dock warehouses.
Based on these two platforms, we operate oil, food processing and other industries. For example, oil can be transported by barge, and then a barge oil station can be set up to fill fuel for passing ships.
Although currently, the domestic waterways are mainly powered by unpowered or steam-powered ships, as time goes by, the number of oil tankers will definitely increase, not to mention that many of the ships currently built by the Lin family are ready to use oil for navigation.
The most important thing is that there are almost no such facilities in the country, there is not much competition, and it does not touch too many people's interests. And because there is almost no oil production in the country, the profits of oil-related businesses are very large.
Another reason is that once channels and markets are opened up, one can negotiate terms with oil companies, or simply avoid those oil companies that monopolize the domestic market, or even start smuggling oil.
With this move, one can obtain more generous profits, and the other can also reduce the cost of using the boat. After all, military boats are not suitable for using steam as power.
As for food processing, it is to move the equipment related to food processing onto the barge and use the barge as a floating factory. The barge can be towed to various places to process various foods on site.
Let's take rice as an example again. Machines such as rice milling and bagging are installed on the ship. It can grind rice for people on the spot, or it can also be harvested and processed for grain trade.
Compared with land-based workshops that are restricted by transportation areas, this efficiency is significantly higher. It not only saves some transportation and other costs, but also operates well. It can also travel to various places throughout the year, allowing it to continue operating and bring more profits.
In addition to rice, aquatic products such as fish, livestock and poultry from various places, etc. can also be processed in this way. After all, in this era, there are no good transportation methods for fresh food.
There are also bio-pellet fuels like what they are doing now, which can also be purchased and initially processed in various places using this method. Others can also be considered, depending on the cost.
