Chapter 865 Arrangement and Transformation
The two chatted about the future for a while, but eventually the topic returned to the current situation. Eliminating the Haisha Gang is only the first step in controlling Liuheng Island. There is a lot of work to be done next. For example, the port terminal can be transformed to provide more convenient supplies for the Haihan Fleet, especially the Enterprise; the personnel of the Sanlin Gang should be dispersed and reorganized so that the Lin brothers can better serve themselves. used. For these things, it is not enough to just rely on the coalition command to issue orders. It also requires the active cooperation of the Sanlin Gang. But the problem is how to get the Sanlin Gang to give up the existing power and vested interests in their hands and completely integrate into Haihan's group. from the social system.
In fact, relevant departments also have standardized operating procedures on this point, but the specific implementation plan for Liuheng Island must be adjusted based on the actual situation here. The two discussed for a while and decided that Shi Diwen would be responsible for the port reconstruction, while Qian Tiandun would be responsible for communicating with the Lin brothers.
"General Qian, I've been summoned late at night. What are your orders?" When Lin Xing was about to go to bed, he suddenly received another summons from the coalition forces and hurried back to the coalition headquarters. Both of his brothers were participating in the battle on the island at this time, and they were commanded by Haihan people. They were inevitably a little uneasy, fearing that something might happen to them.
Lin Xing knew that the battle on Liuheng Island was the surrender of his three brothers, so he specifically told the two brothers to obey the command of Officer Haihan and not to act without authorization or disobey military orders. As for the Haihan people who might use the Sanlin Gang as cannon fodder during the battle, this was actually within Lin Xing's expectation. After all, they had said it when they first met, the Sanlin Gang's The personnel must be reorganized. Most of the old subordinates must have been dispersed and purged. The consumption on the battlefield is undoubtedly one of the very reasonable means of purging. If my two brothers can't bear this tone, then all subsequent cooperation will probably come to nothing.
"Sit down and talk." Qian Tiandun looked pleasant, which calmed Lin Xing's originally anxious mood a little.
"The main force of the Haisha Gang has been basically captured by us, and the situation on Liuheng Island will probably not change again. You three brothers have put in a lot of effort this time, and I can see it. I will look back. I will ask you for credit from the Executive Committee." After some encouragement, Qian Tiandun continued: "You will report to the headquarters tomorrow and help us manage the affairs of Liuheng Island as soon as possible. The basic projects that need to be built must be implemented as soon as possible, and there are many things that require your participation. Lin Xing, do you have any questions?”
Lin Xing quickly stood up and responded: "It is a blessing for me to have the trust of Chief Haihan. I should do my best. General Qian, please rest assured that the matters assigned by the headquarters will be handled properly by me and my brother-in-law." .”
Qian Tiandun nodded slowly and said: "It's good that you have such an awareness. I was originally worried that you would have some grudges in your heart and it would be difficult to assign tasks to you."
"I have no grudges in my heart!" Lin Xing quickly defended: "General Qian must not have misunderstood. He asked your army for help the day before yesterday. It was not out of fear of war, but because he was worried that he would not be able to stop the Haisha Gang's offensive and they would break through the pass. It’s troublesome. If there is any task to be entrusted to me, General Qian said it’s okay.”
"Okay! Then I'll tell you the truth." Qian Tiandun stood up and walked to the wall, pointing to the large sea map hanging on the wall and said: "You must also know that our Haihan base is far away in Fujian. , is thousands of miles away from here, so the supply of materials and personnel transportation during wartime is a big problem. We are now facing such a situation. The sea transportation capacity between Zhoushan and Penghu is seriously insufficient, and the seizures here cannot be transported in time. Back to the south, logistics supplies cannot be delivered on time. Lin Xing, do you think there is any way to change this situation? ”
Lin Xing was thinking about what Qian Tiandun meant while listening. He didn't quite believe the statement that the shipping capacity was insufficient. When he went to Shipu Port for negotiations a few days ago, he saw at least thirty or forty large ships with four hundred materials in the port. They carry the red and blue flag of Haihan, and these ships are not classified as warships, but just ordinary cargo ships. They must be a fleet transporting supplies for the Haihan militia.
There are so many ships parked in the port for loading and unloading goods. Lin Xing believes that there are more ships than he has seen in Shipu Port that travel between the two provinces to transport supplies and personnel for Haihan. The Haihan people's operations in Zhejiang were very well planned and they thought of all aspects. How could they not arrange their logistical supply lines in advance? Maybe there are still several fleets plying the sea route between Zhoushan and Penghu at this time.
Taking a step back, even if the transportation capacity arranged by the Haihan people before was not enough, at least forty or fifty ships captured at the Haisha Gang port in the Liuheng Island battle were able to travel long distances. Many ships were completely undamaged. As long as they were equipped with Qi Shuiyuan can set off immediately. Why would Qian Tiandun regard this as a difficult problem and call him to discuss it late at night? What is the purpose of doing so?
Lin Xing asked tentatively: "How about Naga sending a ship? If necessary, I can also mobilize the ships under my command to join in and do my best."
Qian Tiandun sighed: "But there are not enough manpower. Most of the people we brought to Zhejiang are combat personnel. The sailors basically serve on warships and cannot be transferred casually."
When Lin Xing heard this, he already understood at least seventy-eight points. Qian Tiandun was short of ships and men. He clearly wanted to find a reasonable excuse to break up the Sanlin Gang.
Qian Tiandun had already mentioned this matter when discussing it at Shipu Port. Although Lin Xing agreed to do it, he still had a lingering thought in his heart, hoping that with the outstanding performance of the Sanlin Gang, the Haihan people would be able to open the Internet. On the one hand, the original staffing should be preserved as much as possible. Of course, he also anticipated what methods the Haihan people might adopt to break up the Sanlin Gang, but he did not expect the reason proposed by Qian Tiandun.
Lin Xing responded with a wry smile: "General Qian, there is no need to worry. I have thousands of sailors under my command in the Sanlin Gang, ready to be dispatched at any time."
Qian Tiandun said with a happy face: "Of course this is the best, but... if all the people from your Sanlin Gang are used, the command may be a little inconvenient. It is best to have people with high prestige who can follow the fleet south." , which also facilitates coordination and communication.”
If Lin Xing still doesn't understand what Qian Tiandun means after hearing this, then he doesn't have to stay any longer and just pack up and leave as soon as possible. "I and my brother-in-law can leave at any time, just ask General Qian to make arrangements!" For this reason, Lin Xing could only grit his teeth and hold on. If you act proactively at this time, you can at least gain some favor from Qian Tiandun. You can't wait for Qian Tiandun to name him. If you reluctantly agree at that time, there will be no credit but hard work.
"Young man is sensible, life will be easier in the future!" Qian Tiandun secretly gave Lin Xing a good evaluation in his heart. Although Lin Xing is just a pirate and a smuggler, he is really quick-witted and good at dealing with people. With just a few words of advice, he can figure out his ideas and take the initiative to take over what needs to be done. His cooperation saved Qian Tiandun a lot of trouble.
Qian Tiandun said in a deep voice: "You don't have to go. As I said just now, there are still many things on Liuheng Island that need your coordination here. I think so, our two most important supply lines at present are, one is from From Shipu Port to here, and from Fujian to Shipu Port, each of your two brothers will be responsible for one route. As for the arrangement of the near and far distance, it is up to you to decide."
"Thank you, General Qian, for your trust. I will discuss the arrangements with my younger brother tomorrow and then report them to General Qian." Lin Xing quickly handed over his hand in thanks. He also knew that Qian Tiandun could not really hand over these two important supply lines to his brothers. The so-called responsibility was probably just to coordinate the sailors who originally belonged to the Sanlin Gang in the fleet, and the Haihan Army Fang will definitely send someone else to command the fleet. But being assigned an errand shows that the Haihan people are willing to give them the opportunity to show their abilities. Although Lin Xing's two brothers are not very powerful, their navigation skills are considered qualified and they are qualified for such an errand.
"Go back and contact Staff Officer Zhang. He will be responsible for arranging the sailors provided by the Sanlin Gang to supplement the positions in each fleet." Qian Tiandun raised his hand and looked at the time: "It's already late, everyone is busy today It’s been a day, and I have to continue working tomorrow, so you should go back and rest early!”
Qian Tiandun mentioned the personnel arrangement in an understatement at the end, but Lin Xing knew that this was the key point - the sailors provided by the Sanlin Gang would probably not have the chance to team up again, and Haihan would disperse them to different places. on board. In this way, even if Lin Si and Lin De had different intentions during the voyage, it would be difficult to bring their former subordinates together to form a joint force.
On the way back to his station, Lin Xing went through Qian Tiandun's arrangements in his mind again, and he felt more and more that the Haihan people were really cunning. In this way, in the name of assisting with logistical supplies, the three Lin brothers were placed in three places, namely Liuheng Island, Shipu Port, and further away in Fujian. Once their men were separated, the Sanlin Gang would cease to exist in name only. Although Lin Xing's other two brothers are not permanently stationed in other places, the chances of meeting them will definitely be greatly reduced after leaving Liuheng Island. Although Lin Xing didn't have any other ideas, the Haihan people's arrangement did minimize the possibility of various changes in the Sanlin Gang.
However, Qian Tiandun's arrangement mentioned that the trading market on Liuheng Island should be reopened as soon as possible. At this time of panic, the Sanlin Gang must come forward to appease the emotions of foreign merchants. At the same time, Lin Xing also thought about another possibility that Haihan made this decision, that is, while restoring the Liuheng Island trading market, launching attacks on other trading ports in the Zhoushan Islands would undoubtedly remove many maritime merchants from other trading ports. The trading port squeezed out and defected to Liuheng Island. Because by that time, the safest trading port in the entire Zhoushan Archipelago, including the coastal areas of Ningbo Prefecture, was probably Liuheng Island controlled by the Haihan people.
This situation is very likely to happen, because at the same time as the Haisha Gang's turf war broke out, the exchanges in the areas controlled by the Sanlin Gang were still operating. Some businessmen who heard that there was trouble on the Haisha Gang's territory came here specifically to inquire about the news. Of course, there must be spies sent by other armed forces in the East China Sea.
This plan was simple and crude, and Lin Xing was not sure whether his guess was true, because the level of intelligence he had access to was indeed low. When the Haihan people actually discussed the battle plan, only Xu Ke could attend. , he and Shipu Qianhu Ma Ling are still in the "inspection period" and are not even qualified to audit.
It is not difficult to create chaos in other trading ports in the Zhoushan Islands. Even the Sanlin Gang can do it, but the Haihan people can make trouble for others while also protecting their own territory. This is definitely not the Sanlin Gang. As far as it can be done. If several big forces in Zhoushan unite to engage in armed fighting, the Sanlin Gang will simply not be able to withstand it, and they will end up losing the money instead of stealing the chicken. If it were the Haihan people who did this, there would be no need to worry about other armed forces in the Zhoushan Islands joining forces to engage in confrontation - perhaps the Haihan people are more looking forward to achieving such an effect, which can solve the problem at once, and there is no need to carry out raids island by island. .
That night, Lin Xing lay in bed and thought about things for a long time. He didn't fall asleep until almost dawn. However, he had something on his mind and didn't sleep well. He woke up with a start as soon as the reveille signal sounded in the Haihan military camp on the other side of the dock. After washing up and having breakfast, Lin Xing took a boat out of the port and rushed to discuss with his two brothers how to arrange the next shipping mission.
"Then what should we do with the existing industries of the Sanlin Gang? Do they have to be broken up and distributed?" After listening to the boss's story, Linde quickly asked a question that concerned him.
Lin Xing smiled bitterly and said: "Of course, it will be slowly handed over to the Haihan people for management. At least half of your eldest brother's various business methods on Liuheng Island were learned from the Haihan people. Now you have the opportunity to see their authentic operations. The technique is also an eye-opener.”
Lin De shouted: "How come we three brothers have to hand over the family property that we three brothers have earned so hard to the Haihan people with just one sentence?"
"You don't have to hand it over, just look at what happened to the Haisha Gang." Lin Si complained with a gloomy face.
This time Linde did not retaliate, because he also saw the scene yesterday when Haihan soldiers counted and seized the boxes of gold and silver treasures, and they changed hands so easily. The Haisha Gang has been operating on Liuheng Island for so many years, and not even a hair has been left behind. They have all taken advantage of Haihan. If the Sanlin Gang refuses to cooperate and the lessons learned from the past are still fresh in their minds, who would dare to take such a serious risk?
