“Well, there is still a lot of potential in the petrochemical industry that needs to be tapped.

Manager Wang should pay more attention and first help the company solve the pollution problem of refining residues. "

The pollution problem from the Department of Transportation's use of refinery waste to pave roads is serious, but the impact is modest.

After all, the population of Southwest Africa is too small, and the harm caused by pollution from these residues to people is limited.

However, it is not easy to digest these pollutants naturally. The best way is to strengthen research on petrochemical industry and continue to decompose crude oil and make full use of it.

Wang Zhongyi nodded, "Yes, I will organize my colleagues in the petrochemical department to work hard to study new petrochemical technologies."

"Second brother, please tell me about Lanfang Company's preparations."

Zhong Yilin nodded, "Yes, brother.

At present, Lanfang Company has built 3.3 residential houses in Bangyan, Singkawang, Nandiwa, Songbai Port and Pontianak Port on the coast, as well as in the inland Dongwanlu City.

These houses can accommodate 15 to 20 immigrants, and we will continue to build them, with plans to build 6 to 8 houses.

It is estimated that 40 to 50 immigrants will be resettled. "

(The part within the black line in the picture is the territory of Lanfang Company)

The land near the sea in the west of Lanfang Company is mostly swamp, and there is more solid soil in East Wanlu City and Sanfa. It is the main distribution area of ​​Lanfang Aboriginal people and has mostly farmland.

The inland areas in the east are not developed enough and have dense forests. The arrival of immigrants can help them cut down trees and expand their living space.

As for the Natuna Islands, the area and output of the islands are limited, and they can accommodate at most 2 to 3 immigrants.

“We currently have self-raised materials including 3000 tons of rice, 4000 tons of dried salted fish, and 1.8 tons of coal. These coals can not only refuel the company’s immigration ships, but can also regularly transport coal to the Mariana Islands.

Once immigrants settle in, we can hire them to cultivate the land, dig coal and gold mines, etc.

They will never be allowed to cause trouble, and a police headquarters has been established within Lanfang Company and a police force of 3000 people has been recruited, which is enough to maintain order. "

Shi Jintang is not too worried about the order situation. As long as the Chinese can have enough to eat, they will basically keep to themselves.

……

"Well, Zeng Ze, please tell us about the preparations of the Sulu Sultanate."

Zeng Ze stood up and spoke, “There are only a limited number of immigrants that can be resettled in the islands of the Sulu Archipelago, and they are mainly resettled in Palawan.

The island is long and narrow, with a continuous plain in the southeast, which is conducive to settling a large number of immigrants.

But the low level of infrastructure on Palawan is a problem. We recruited a large number of residents from Jolo Island in the Sulu Islands to Palawan.

We have currently built more than 2 temporary houses on Palawan Island, which can accommodate about 10 immigrants. We will continue to build them in the future to accommodate a total of 40 immigrants.

In addition, we have self-raised 6000 tons of rice, 8000 tons of dried fish, dried coconut, etc., and the relocation of materials is still in progress.

Regarding order in Palawan Island, we plan to dispatch half of the police force of the Sulu Sultanate Police Headquarters to Palawan Island to maintain order, and in addition, some of the immigrants will be selected to join the police force.

As for the indigenous people on the island, we have relocated them to Jolo Island in Sulu. "

Shi Jintang nodded, then looked at a dark and thin young man in the corner, "Li Xi, tell me."

This Li Xi is an immigrant from the Qing Dynasty, heir status, and entered the Immigration Bureau after graduating from secondary school. Futong placed him in the Mariana Islands as the person in charge of civil affairs.

Li Xi smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mr. Shi.

Our main resettlement sites in the Mariana Islands are Seine Island, Tinian Island and Guam. These three islands are large enough and can develop agriculture, which has the potential for sustainable development.

We have currently built 1.2 wooden houses of various types, and will continue to build them in the future to resettle a total of 20 to 25 immigrants.

After the immigrants arrived, we prepared to build sugar cane and coconut plantations. Previously there were too few residents for us to develop a large-scale plantation economy.

We have currently prepared supplies of rice, cassava, dried fish and dried coconut, totaling 2000 tons. These supplies are difficult for the Mariana Islands, and we have done our best. "

What Li Xi said was true. Those small islands were indeed barren. If it weren't for the strategic location, no one would have colonized them.

"Well, please sit down first.

Commissioner Ouyang, you are here to announce the "Wartime Management Regulations." "

Ouyang Geng stood up and opened the important document in his hand, "Now we announce the wartime management regulations of Nanhua Company:

1. When an act of war occurs in or around Nanhua Company, Nanhua Company will immediately enter a state of wartime management.

At that time, the company will ring the alarm bell, which lasts for 5 minutes. After the alarm bell expires, the wartime management regulations will take effect.

2. After the wartime management regulations take effect, curfews will be implemented in various places.

Civilians must be made aware of the dangers of enemy agents' actions and the serious consequences of betraying a company for profit.

11. During wartime control, each overseas territory needs to strengthen the control of its own territory and allow each overseas territory to expand its law enforcement team.

However, law enforcement teams must be well controlled and riots or mass incidents should be avoided in overseas territories.

Once it occurs, it must be dealt with decisively to avoid serious escalation of the situation.

12. During the wartime control period, shipping companies and freight companies operated independently.

If it is seized by the British, try not to conflict with them and leave everything to the company for negotiation.

13. During the wartime control period, naval forces tried their best to hide at sea and try not to appear within the British sphere of influence.

If they are discovered and attacked by the British, they should try to avoid casualties and preserve their strength, and leave everything to the company for negotiation.

14. The "Wartime Administration Regulations" also apply to all overseas territories, and overseas territories shall implement them in accordance with the regulations.

......"

After reading out the "Wartime Management Regulations", the meeting has come to an end.

Shi Jintang separately summoned several civil affairs leaders from overseas territories and informed them that after the local wartime regulations came into effect, they could decide on their own when to implement the wartime regulations.

After seeing off the heads of overseas territories, before Shi Jintang could take a break, His Royal Highness Prince Leopold arrived with a personal letter from the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. (End of chapter)
