Lin Youde and Peng Zhicheng stood side by side outside the east gate of Dingyuan Fort. This was the place where the crossings had the greatest casualties last night. Dennis Hurvig, a German mercenary from Switzerland, was killed, and Christopher Grot was slightly injured. In fact, this was the only casualties for the crossings all night.

The Indians came in the darkness and retreated in the darkness. No one knew their troops, but judging from the 15 bodies left at the scene, their number was not too large, probably similar to the time-traveling differences.

The dozen lighting braziers placed on the open space outside the fort were destroyed by the Indians, and there were still some blood on the ground, which looked a little dazzling.

"How are everyone's emotions?" Peng Zhicheng asked. He arrived this morning with the fleet of transporting supplies, and happened to encounter the Indian attack.

"It's pretty good." Lin Youde replied, "It's the first time everyone has encountered such a thing. It's inevitable that some panic is inevitable, but after all, it doesn't cause any major casualties, just one new immigrant is dead and one injury. But we are still a little careless after all, and we didn't make plans for such attacks in advance. Last night, many people panicked, causing chaos that shouldn't have. As the deputy captain of the pioneer team in charge of safety, I have an unshirkable responsibility."

Peng Zhicheng patted Lin Youde's shoulder to show comfort. He was not here to hold him accountable, and the Executive Committee does not currently have a complete accountability mechanism. Although Lin Youde has had a minor mistake, he still stabilized the situation. The Executive Committee will most likely let him continue to stay here.

"The construction of Dingyuan Fort is not slow." Peng Zhicheng changed the subject and looked at the brick and tile factory buildings, dormitories, toilets, etc. that had been built not far away.

Lin Youde smiled: "As long as the manpower and material problems are solved, the progress can be accelerated."

Peng Zhicheng smiled and didn't answer. Don't think about manpower and materials. There is no shortage of manpower and materials now? "How much can the daily fishing volume reach?"

"It's basically stable at over 3,000 kilograms." Lin Youde said, "The processing capacity of fish products is limited now, and there is no place to store them if there are too many."

"Haha, that's great." Peng Zhicheng smiled, "I took more than a thousand kilograms of fish back from Dingyuan Fort every day. Not only did I supplement everyone's nutrition, but I also saved the Executive Committee a lot of food. Everyone knows the contribution of your Dingyuan Fort Development Team. Okay, I'll go back now. I must report what happened last night to the Executive Committee as soon as possible." After saying that, he patted Lin Youde's shoulder, "Old Xiao's work at hand is almost done. The Executive Committee means that he will come here to preside over the work in person. I guess he will take office in the next few days. So don't worry!"

Lin Youde nodded silently.

The fleet that transported materials and supplies returned. In addition to transporting 1,500 kilograms of fish, they also took away the wounded and corpses from the battle last night.

After experiencing last night's incident, all the members of the pioneer team also felt the crisis. Therefore, at Lin Youde's suggestion, the construction team suspended the construction of the project and began to dig trenches around Dingyuan Fort. The trenches will introduce Dayu Lake water, so that the safety of Dingyuan Fort will be greatly improved. At the same time, the east gate that was opened for convenience of entering and leaving and transporting materials was completely blocked. Last night's incident is vivid, and the time travelers dare not cause trouble for themselves.

*********************************

The conference room was filled with smoke. Peng Zhicheng had just reported to the Executive Committee about what happened in Dingyuan Castle last night, and now it has entered the formal discussion stage.

All eleven members of the Executive Committee were present, Ma Ganzu presided over the meeting, and Du Wen personally served as clerk.

"Old Peng has just reported to everyone about the beginning and end of the July 13th incident. How to deal with this matter? Let's talk about your own opinions and speak freely." Ma Ganzu lit a cigarette and said first.

"Since the organization has arranged for me to preside over the work of this pioneering team, let me say a few words first." Xiao Bailang said, "Since the matter has happened, the first thing we should consider is how to face this matter. The daily fishing volume of Dingyuan Castle has exceeded 3,000 kilograms, and the central fish products are transported every day to 1,500 kilograms, which has supplemented everyone's nutrition and saved a large amount of food, which is of great significance. The contribution is irrefutable. We should not blame too much for the comrades who are fighting abroad. On the contrary, we should increase our support for them. Here, I suggest that all kinds of buildings be tilted towards Dingyuan Castle, and make every effort to ensure the construction of Dingyuan Castle, so as to form a stable situation as soon as possible."

"The construction supplies are relatively tight now. Lao Xiao has ensured the construction progress of Dingyuan Fort, your dock project will be stopped." Shao Shude reminded.

"I have no objection. Now there are no ships on the pier by the port all day long. I think this project can be temporarily stopped. Of course, the construction of the fortress area of ​​the pier cannot be stopped." Xiao Bailang smiled at Wang Qinian and said.

"The Indian race in Uruguay is mainly the Chalua people." Gao Mo cleared his throat, "I would like to remind you that the Chalua people are fierce, cruel and warlike. I think since there will be a first attack, there will definitely be a second time. You must have a clear understanding of this."

"What to do this... The Chalua people's nest is likely to be near Dayu Lake." Interior Commissioner Jiao Tang said, "Can the Executive Committee organize an investigation and clearance operation along Dayu Lake at present? This nail should be pulled out in time, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger."

After hearing Jiao Tang's words, Peng Zhicheng smiled bitterly: "There are only people in the security corps, and their training and level are just that. Not to mention clearing out the Chaluya tribes, it is not easy to conduct investigations. Of course, if the Executive Committee requires that, our army will conduct an investigation."

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

"I think so. The dock project will stop first, and the buildings and supplies will be transferred to Dingyuan Fort project. This one will be decided first." Ma Ganzu saw some dismal situation and came out to summarize: "Since we are not sure to get rid of the Chalua people's nest, then let's harden our turtle shells first. Anyway, Dingyuan Fort has a wide view and convenient transportation, so it is not easy for the Chalua people to make trouble. Once the fortress is built, let's do whatever he wants. We are already invincible."

This is agreed just now, so naturally everyone has no objection.

"Since this one is fine, let's go on to the next one." Ma Ganzu continued, "Is the current 25-member guard in Dingyuan Fort enough? What is the business quality and equipment level of these 25 people?"

"I'm afraid it's not optimistic." Peng Zhicheng pondered a little. "Except for a few Swiss immigrants who have experienced mercenaries and are more capable of fighting, the rest of us are spontaneously registered volunteers. At most, they can be considered strong and have no business qualities."

"Then we need to strengthen training." Ma Ganzu said: "Old Peng, don't be afraid of hard work. Go there a few more trips. Then draw some experienced veterans from the security team to strengthen training for these people. Of course, they only have 25 people to die, and they cannot place all hope on them. Construction teams, fish product processing factory employees, and logistics personnel must also receive training. They practice in their spare time and do not require them to practice very well. The most basic thing is that they must be able to aim and shoot. The newly created three-year-old full-body armor in the weapon factory, three-pound and four-pound cannons are also given priority for Dingyuan Castle. I don't believe it. The Chalua people are not three-headed and six-armed. As long as they dare to come, they will be bleeding."

Ma Ganzu's words were reasonable and no one had any objections, so the meeting continued.

"In addition to these two things, I also want to say that our comrades risk their lives in Dingyuan Castle to provide us with living resources. For their dedication, I think the Executive Committee will need to reward both spiritual and material things." Ma Ganzu continued, "I suggest that the comrades who went to Dingyuan Castle to work double points, and report and praise the deeds of last night in the whole district. Especially for the injured and killed Swiss immigrants, I suggest that they give a heavy reward. Member Xiao, do these two have any relatives here with us?"

"Yes." Civil Commissioner Xiao Mingli nodded, "Denis Helveg, who died in battle, has a wife and a daughter. His wife is currently working as a handyman in the Animal Husbandry Bureau, and his daughter is in school. The injured Christopher Grott has a sister assigned to the Agricultural Bureau."

"The people who died in battle will have funerals, and those who are injured will have to give condolences. They and their relatives will immediately grant free citizenship status. Also, Lao Jin asked the Ministry of Agriculture to sign a formal labor contract with their relatives. Helveg's daughter will be given preferential treatment, and the meal subsidy standard will be increased by one level. In the future, when evaluating three good students, scholarships and other scholarships will be given priority." Ma Ganzu was like a machine gun, and several were sent in a row, and everyone could only nod.

"Everything that Chairman Ma said hits the key point, and I would like to add something below." Judicial Committee member Bai Siwen said, "Comrade Lin Youde, who is responsible for security work in Dingyuanbao, was careless before the war and did not make detailed plans for possible attacks, which caused some chaos. I think Comrade Lin Youde may have some dereliction of duty in his work. Here, I suggest that the Executive Committee investigate Comrade Lin Youde."

As soon as these words were said, everyone was silent. Who wouldn't know that Lin Youde was Xiao Bailang's beloved general. If you can't get along with Lin Youde, it means you can't get along with Xiao Bailang. If you can't get along with Xiao Bailang, it means you can't get along with Chairman Ma...
