Chapter 236 Expedition Team
At the beginning, the local people were still very alert to the People's Army. "The Novel" said, "Where the People's Army's patrol team went, the people closed their doors and closed their doors, fearing that they would avoid it. Because they were young women, they hid in the inner room and did not dare to come out.
However, over time, the local people found that this army was completely different from the Qing army. Not only was the spirit different, but the morale of this army was high and seemed energetic. Although the Qing army also raised its chest and raised its belly and looked straight, it was still in a dull state and could not see any energetic energy.
Moreover, the People's Army's attitude towards the people was very kind, and it was not as arrogant as the Qing army treated the people. Not only did they not rob things, but they also helped the people do things within their ability. When they saw vehicles on the road, there would always be people going up to help push carts, and when they saw people carrying heavy burdens, there would be some rewards. When they asked the villagers for directions, they would definitely return them. Sometimes they would stay at the villagers' homes, but they would never eat at the villagers' homes. When they left, they would leave some money, and they would help them fill up water, chop some firewood, etc.
Soon after, the local people's attitude towards the People's Army changed drastically. Although they were still cautious and wary, their attitude was obviously much more friendly. At least when the People's Army passed by the door, every household would not close, and the brave people would even say hello to the People's Army.
Just two days after Luo Yue entered the west coast of Jiaozhou Bay, Tianjin's advance team arrived in Qingdao and immediately started work. First, the Qingdao Temporary Management Committee was established to manage Qingdao's administrative affairs, and began to clean up projects invested and constructed by Germany in Qingdao. At the same time, an expedition team was formed to conduct geological investigations on the areas along the Jiaozhou Bay coast, and also carried out some social research activities.
The expedition team consists of twelve people, including five people responsible for the geological investigation. The leader is Lu Fushan, 53 years old, is a geologist and has a professorship title. Strictly speaking, he is not a formal engineer. He used to only take four assistants to help the oil project team survey the geological conditions. As a result, their team followed the public to travel to this era.
When I was in Tianjin, this geological team had little effect because Tianjin did not have any mineral resources. They just collected some soil samples in the Tianjin area for testing and kept them as archives. Later, the traveler obtained the Kaiping Coal Mine, and the geological team moved to Kaiping to survey the current largest mining area of the traveler.
Now that time travelers have a foothold in Shandong, many projects will be launched, and Shandong is also a relatively rich area. Therefore, investigating the mineral resources in Shandong is naturally an important task. Therefore, the geological team finally has a place to use it. They come to Qingdao with the advance team and immediately start the land investment inspection work along Jiaozhou Bay.
The other seven people were responsible for inspecting the society in Shandong, mainly the economic development of rural areas and the livelihood situation, and preparing for the future administrative management and policy formulation of time travelers in Shandong. The seven people were led by Wang Sheng, deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. He had participated in agricultural inspections in Tianjin and had always worked in rural areas and had rich rural work experience. The other six people also had certain experience in working in rural areas.
However, although the number of geological teams is small, this inspection team is mainly based on geological teams. This is mainly because there are not many people along the Jiaozhou Bay coast and the social inspection team is relatively small. Therefore, the captain is Professor Lu Fushan. Of course, the Qingdao Command also notified the garrison troops from all over the country and ordered them to protect the inspection teams along the way, and equip each member of the inspection team with a Type 92 military pistol.
The expedition team set out from Qingdao and advanced along Jiaozhou Bay. First, they headed north, passed Xiaogang, Dagang, Shuangdun and other places, turned west on Baisha River, passed Yindao area, and came to Yinghai Town. This was the fourth day after the expedition team set out from Qingdao.
Regarding the arrival of the expedition team, Luo Yue did not dare to neglect to lead the troops personally and took the expedition team into his garrison area. Yinghai Town is a large population concentration area along the coast of Jiaozhou Bay, so the expedition team is preparing to stay here for two days. The two expedition teams will act separately. The social expedition team will be divided into two and set out with the two patrol teams respectively. Their safety will also be under the responsibility of the patrol team.
The geological team specially dispatched a squad soldiers, the platoon leader Qian Guoyu and Luo Yue, who also brought four guards from the battalion headquarters, a total of 18 people were with him. Since the geological team worked in the deep mountains and forests, no warrior car was dispatched this time.
The other members of the expedition team were associate professor Lu Wanxun, who and Lu Fushan were old partners for more than ten years; and there was also staff member Zhang Yao, who was originally a student of Professor Lu. After graduation, he stayed at school to teach and worked with Professor Lu. The other two were two students just led by Professor Lu, Deng Jiajia and Li Silin. They were both in their early 20s, among which Deng Jiajia was the only woman in this group.
Of course, there are many special equipment for geological inspections. Even if the soldiers are accompanied, some of the heavier instruments are of course carried by the soldiers, while the geological team only brings some exquisite and easy equipment.
The group set out and headed north. In fact, there are geological data in Jiaozhou Bay area. After all, as a geologist, the geological data in the country will definitely be collected. Of course, it is just a large-scale distribution data and will not be very detailed, but this also brings many more favorable conditions to the geological team. In addition, although Shandong's mineral resources are relatively rich, there are not many minerals along the Jiaozhou Bay coast, and most of them are non-metallic ores. The main advantageous mineral resources include graphite, granite, marble, mineral water, periluminite, gold, talc, zeolite, etc., as well as barite, dolomite, bentonite, potassium feldspar, quartzite, pearlite, shiny stone, geothermal, etc., and there are also great potential.
For travelers, these minerals are basically useful. Needless to say, graphite, gold, granite, marble, diopyite, and talc are all construction materials, while zeolite rocks can improve water quality and serve as fish feed. However, the only minerals that really have a great effect on the development of the national economy and industrial industries are graphite and gold, and there are basically no construction resources for the development of industries such as coal, copper, and iron.
Although Shandong Province has rich and complete mineral resources, most of them are concentrated in the northern and southwest areas of Shandong inland, while there are not many mineral resources in the Shandong Peninsula. In the old time and space, the reason why Germany wanted to build the Jiaoji Railway was mainly to expand its own power to the inland areas of Shandong to plunder the resources of Shandong.
Walking along the way, Professor Lu kept telling his students to pay attention to the geological characteristics seen along the way and guide them to collect soil and ore samples. Although these geology does not have much significance, it is still very important for beginners to accumulate experience.
After walking for about half an hour, the group came to a small hill with woods on the hillside. There was an open space on the top of the hill. Lu Fushan looked left and right on the top of the mountain, nodded, and said, "It's this place, are you starting to work?"
After hearing this, the other members of the geological team took down various instruments and set them up on the top of the mountain. Lu Fushan walked around the mountain and carefully observed the situation on the ground. In addition to the soldiers who helped the inspection team carry the instruments, the other soldiers were guarding the surroundings.
Before the geological team could work for 10 minutes, there were only a few gunshots heard from a distance, and the geological team members were surprised when they heard the gunshots, and they stopped working and looked out. At this time, the gunshots sounded again, and several people were suddenly a little nervous. It was Deng Jiajia, just a girl in her early twenties, with a pale face and subconsciously leaning behind her classmate Li Silin. The other four people were still steadily, pulling out the pistols that were given to them and opening the safety bolt.
At this time, Luo Yueji rushed over and said, "Don't panic, the gunshots came from the north, I have ordered people to watch. You should not move around here, put away the instruments, and find a place to hide." He looked at the pistols held by everyone and said, "Close the safety bolt first. It's not time yet, be careful to get out of the fire." In fact, the effective range of the Type 92 pistol is less than 50 meters, so it can only be used for self-defense and cannot fight.
After hearing this, several people felt a little relieved. Zhang Yao, Li Silin and others also closed the pistol security again. Luo Yue assigned four guards around him to protect the five people in person, and he rushed to the north. At this time, Qian Guoyu had commanded a squad of soldiers to set up a line of defense with trees and stones as cover.
Luo Yue came to Qian Guoyu and said, "What's the situation?"
Qian Guoyu pointed to the north and said, "There are two groups of people chasing each other over there, and it seems that they are not coming for us."
In fact, Luo Yue had seen it at this time, and saw that about 3,400 meters north, two people were chasing each other. There were about 10 people running away in front, with different clothes, but they were all tight clothes. Some people even wrapped a piece of red cloth on their heads, some were empty-handed, and some were holding swords and other weapons.
About 150 meters behind them, there were a few people chasing them, about 20 people, and they were also tight-fitting clothes, but the same color was navy blue, and most of them were tied on their heads or circled on the neckline. Everyone was holding a rifle in their hands, and about half of them had bayonets. They chased and shot while shooting. However, judging from their shooting actions, they should have used a single shot. After one shot, they needed to reload the bullets.
