Only the ship repair shop is the largest, most invested and most technically advanced project among the physical industries decided to establish this time, but this is also the need to develop Tianjin's economy.

Tianjin is a city dominated by circulation economy and has a great dependence on sea transportation, so it requires complete docks and port facilities. Ship repair is an important part. It is impossible for merchant ships traveling to Tianjin to go without any damage and failure. It is naturally better to be able to repair on-site.

In addition, there are still several warships soaked in the sea at Dagukou. The Crossing Group has long planned to salvage all of these warships, and then repair them for their own use. The several warships that have been captured also need to be repaired. Therefore, whether it is now or in the long run, whether it is for military and civilian purposes, Crossing Group needs a ship repair shop in Tianjin that reaches the technical level of this era.

In the past, there was a ship repair shop in Dagukou. It turned out to be an institution under the Tianjin Machinery Bureau. It also had a maintenance dock of less than 1,000 tons. It was usually used to repair warships. When the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Dagukou, the two torpedo gunboats of the Beiyang Navy, the Feiying, and the Feiying, stopped the stock market to repair it in the Dagu dock. As a result, together with the other four Sea Dragon-class torpedo destroyers, they were all captured by the Eight-Nation Alliance. Of course, when the crossing army captured Dagukou, these warships were seized by the crossing army.

After the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Tianjin, it carried out devastating damage to the Tianjin Machinery Bureau. The machinery and equipment were either stolen or smashed, and set a fire to burn all the houses and facilities. However, the damage to the ship repair shop was not great. Most of the warships of the Eight-Nation Alliance came to China thousands of miles away, and some failures were inevitable. There was a ship repair shop, which was of course the best. Although the technical level of the ship repair shop in Dagukou was worse than that of the European countries of the same era, it was still on the same level overall. Therefore, the ship repair shop in Dagukou was basically preserved, but there were only a few workers left now, but there were some repair soldiers on each warship, which could be organized to maintain the operation of the ship repair shop. However, after the crossing army captured Dagukou, the repair soldiers from various countries were also arrested and imprisoned in prison camps.

If there is such a ship repair factory, it will naturally not be wasted and re-activated. Without workers, you can first select technicians from prisoners from various countries, operate the repair factory, and then slowly train your own workers. In addition, you have to purchase some machinery and equipment to ensure the operation of the repair factory.

However, the ship repair factory in Dagukou is too much, and its technical level is relatively backward. It is obviously not enough to only accommodate a dry dock that can accommodate 1,000 tons of ships. Therefore, after the ship repair factory is started, it must not only expand its scale, but at least achieve the ability to repair 10,000 tons of ships, but also further upgrade the machinery and equipment of the repair factory.

Of course, under the current circumstances, the machinery and equipment required by the repair shop can only be purchased from abroad, and gradually over-production will be achieved. There are a large number of foreign businesses in Tianjin, and there are enough channels for purchase.

These are the administrative and economic resolutions. In the military aspect, the goal of the next military operation has long been determined, which is to attack Shandong and establish a solid base; and another resolution is to recruit soldiers and expand the scale of the People's Army.

The Provisional Military Commission decided that Xiao Jianjun would be fully responsible for formulating the combat plan, allocation and intelligence collection for the attack on Shandong; while Qin Zheng was responsible for recruiting, organizing, training and other work; while Xia Bohai would be fully coordinated and controlled.

There are two foreign leased lands in Shandong now, one is Weihaiwei, which was leased by the UK, and the other is Qingdao, which is located in the eastern coastal areas of Shandong. Therefore, when attacking Shandong, you should start with these two foreign leased lands, and then use Weihai and Qingdao as the base to expand to the entire Shandong region. First, these two foreign leased lands are firstly located on the coast, and are excellent port cities for the Shipping Group, which meets the requirements of the Shipping Group; second, capturing foreign leased lands can allow the Shipping Group to avoid occupying the land of the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, further building the Shipping Group into a progressive force to fight against foreign invaders, which is also conducive to political publicity.

In this way, it is very important to collect intelligence in Weihai and Qingdao. Xiao Jianjun decided to personally dispatch the Kunming ship to the coastal areas of Weihai and Qingdao to survey the coastal terrain and hydrological conditions of the two places, and also collect the deployment of garrison troops in the two places, as well as other intelligence.

There are no special intelligence reconnaissance ships in the crossing fleet. The Kunming ship not only has powerful radars and electronic systems, but also equipped with advanced hull sonar, and also carries carrier-based helicopters and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. Therefore, it is the most suitable warship among the five warships to complete reconnaissance missions.

In addition, the expansion of the army's technical plan will expand to about ten battalions based on the current three combat battalions and one fire support battalion, including six to eight combat battalions, one fire support battalion, artillery battalion, and one cavalry battalion. After defeating the German fleet, the Crossing Group seized a large number of German weapons, so there are enough weapons and equipment for troops of different combat natures.

In addition to the combat battalion, there are only two companies under the fire support battalion, artillery battalion, and cavalry battalion. During wartime, they can be assigned to each battalion in each battalion. After each battalion is organized into an army, there is no regiment-level organization for the time being. When attacking Shandong, they will temporarily combine into joint combat units and command in a unified manner.

However, after the army expanded, how to organize the newly recruited soldiers was to form an army separately; or to disperse the existing four battalions and reorganize them with the new recruits, which caused some discussion.

These two organizational methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The existing four battalions have conducted military training for more than a month and participated in the Tianjin Defense War. They have a certain military foundation and combat experience, and are initially prepared to fight independently on the battlefield.

If these four battalions are broken up and reorganized with the new recruits, they can use their experience and foundation to play a role in passing and leading the new recruits to help the new recruits grow rapidly. This is also a tradition of our army in the old time and space. However, in a short period of time, the overall combat capability of the newly formed troops is not high, and it is difficult to assume heavy responsibilities in the battle against Shandong. They still have to rely on the time-traveling army.

However, the difficulty of attacking Shandong is much greater than that of Tianjin's defense war, because Tianjin's defense war is a defensive nature after all, and generally, defensive war is easier than offensive war. Moreover, attacking Shandong is not an ordinary offensive battle, but an amphibious landing battle. In modern warfare, amphibious landing war is the most complex and most difficult war mode. Although it has accumulated a certain amount of combat experience in amphibious landing warfare when attacking Dagukou, the Eight-Nation Alliance did not know that there was a crossing fleet when attacking Dagukou. Moreover, after the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Dagukou, blocked the Dagukou fort, so the coast of Dagukou could be almost unprepared.

Now the whole world knows the existence of the fleet. Weihai and Qingdao cannot be unprepared. Moreover, Britain has been renting Weihai for more than a year and regards Weihai as a British defender for Russia in northern China. Germany has been renting Qingdao for almost three years, and it is even more planned to build Qingdao into a Hong Kong and a model of colonies in Germany. Therefore, both Britain and Germany plan to build complete coastal defense facilities in these two places. Although Qingdao's planned coastal defense facilities in Weihai have not been completed yet, they are not comparable to Dagukou. It can also be foreseen that the battle to attack Shandong will be the most difficult battle facing the Crossing Group.

After the scale of the army expanded, some soldiers were needed to be drawn from the crossing army to serve as officers at all levels in the new army, and at least two or three companies had to be drawn away. Now there are only two reorganized battalions in the crossing army. In this way, only one reorganized battalion is left. It is quite difficult to bear this amphibious landing operation and need other military support. Therefore, these four new military camps with certain combat effectiveness are still necessary to retain them.

However, if the newly recruited soldiers are formed into an army alone, they will grow along the Changxin Army, at least not be able to rely on in the battle to attack Shandong. Moreover, if the original four battalions suffered too much losses in the battle to attack Shandong, the situation will be even more serious. The time-travel group will lack sufficient veterans with combat experience.

Later, after repeated research by the Military Commission, it was finally decided to disperse the original fire support battalion and reorganize it into a fire support battalion and artillery battalion together with the new army. Because the fire support battalion and artillery battalion were not large in number, and there was no need to go to the front line to fight. Even if it was dispersed and reorganized, it would not have much impact on combat effectiveness.

The other three battalions retained two battalions, the remaining one was dispersed and the new recruits were reorganized. Moreover, in the newly organized army, the squad leader and deputy squad leader were both the original soldiers, while the crossing soldiers only served as officers above the platoon. In this way, two combat-capable battalions were left to assist the crossing army in combat, which could ensure the army's combat capabilities, but a number of experienced soldiers and new recruits were reorganized to help the new recruits grow rapidly and kill two birds with one stone.

The three-day meeting finally ended, because this meeting can be regarded as a supplement to the previous Tianjin meeting. Therefore, this meeting was called the second meeting of the Tianjin meeting in the later historical archives of the Time Travel Group, or the second meeting for short.
