1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 125 Warmongers
Humanitarian relief?There was laughter immediately from the crowd sitting below. This King Tom really deserves to be brought up in the Lighthouse Country, and he was deeply poisoned by imperialism!Little do they know that when a powerful country proposes humanitarian assistance, it is often because it wants to directly intervene in the affairs of a certain region without a more reasonable excuse.Before crossing over, there are many places where the lighthouse country, known as the world's policeman, has carried out "humanitarian rescue". Which place has not been disturbed more and more, from as far as Kosovo to Syria, from Europe to Asia, whoever is disturbed by the lighthouse Basically, no place where China has interfered in the name of "humanitarianism" has escaped the end of becoming a piece of scorched earth.

Any bystander with a correct three-point view will clearly realize that "humanitarianism" is nothing more than a crap stick wielded by the lighthouse country to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.Using the slogan of "humanitarianism" to protect human rights is a common trick of the lighthouse country. As long as the lighthouse country needs it, it can take various sanctions and even military strikes against other countries in the name of "human rights above sovereignty". When spying on the whole world with a spy method that has no humanitarian spirit and completely ignores human rights, it swallows all the words spit out without hesitation, and puts on a look of "I have always advocated that sovereignty is above everything else." "Human rights" in the face of criticism from others.Of course, at times like this, slogans like "humanitarianism" are immediately reduced to shit.

A considerable proportion of people in the crossing group have no good opinion of the Lighthouse Country and Vietnam. The only difference is that one is a shameless hooligan and the other is an annoying monkey. Now a former National of the Lighthouse Country claims that the Executive Committee should treat monkeys If the nationals of the United States adopt "humanitarian rescue", this kind of statement seems quite unflattering.

Yan Chujie immediately took issue with Wang Tom's tone: "Tom, the way you said this is open to question. No matter whether it is Vietnam or Annan, the immigration action we want to carry out has nothing to do with humanitarianism." Contact, those ordinary people need a stable environment to live, and we need a lot of labor. We need to deal with us in this very official way of speaking."

Wang Tom couldn't help burning his face. Fortunately, he has lived at sea for a long time, and his complexion has already been tanned by ultraviolet rays. Others can't see his embarrassment.However, Tom Wang was not persuaded by Yan Chujie's words, and still defended: "The humanitarian aid I mentioned is not a political excuse, but just expressing my own views from the perspective of universal values."

Yan Chujie still wanted to continue the debate, but Tao Donglai hastily ended the conversation: "Okay, there is no need for our internal debates to rise to the level of ideology. Even if we want to talk about political correctness, we only do it internally. Not externally. There is only one standard for us to take any action or measure externally, and that is in line with the interests of our time-traveling group! Under this premise, it is no big deal to fight against the banner of various doctrines externally, just as a propaganda need Alright. Alright, let the others continue to ask questions!"

Yan Chujie immediately said, "I have a question. Tom, according to the results of your on-site inspection, how big do you think the external threat is facing that place? I mean, what kind of defense do we need to achieve to ensure the safety of the place? "

The defense plan formulated by the Military and Police Department was basically based on the fortress defense that they had not fully realized in the base camp, and this plan was most criticized for the huge cost of manpower and material resources.And the military and police department has never had enough factual basis to support their views. At this time, the opinions of the expedition team are particularly important.

Wang Tom nodded, recalled the satellite image, pointed to the area where Xingang is located, and began to explain: "To consider the defense strength of Xingang, we must first understand the specific situation of external threats. Please look at the west and north of Xingang, They are all separated by large mountains stretching for tens of miles, and the sea is to the east and south. According to what we have observed, within a radius of [-] kilometers from Xingang as the origin, it can be said that they are basically non-stop. In the state of a populated area, the only connection between Xingang and the outside world is by sea, and the nearest population gathering place is [-] nautical miles away from Xingang. I think there is currently no force that can threaten Xingang within a day's travel range around it. "

"If you continue to enlarge this range, then the biggest threat to the surrounding area should still come from Hanoi." Wang Tom pointed out the location of Hanoi on the map: "However, Hanoi is [-] kilometers away from the sea, and in this era Calculated based on the speed of the infantry unit, it will take at least three to four days to march from Hanoi to the sea, and it will take another day to cross the sea by boat... In fact, I don't think the people in power in the Le Dynasty in Hanoi would do this kind of laborious work. It’s something to please, because there is really nothing to grab in Xingang, if you send too few soldiers, you may not be able to fight it down, and if you send too many soldiers, you will face the result that the gains outweigh the losses.”

"Another reason is that the current North-South confrontation in Vietnam will help us divert the attention of those in power. Their domestic troops are constantly concentrating towards Hue, and they will not be able to take into account our existence for at least one or two years. And one or two Two years later... I think the situation in Xingang should be much better than it is now, at least it should be able to establish a paramilitary force capable of threatening the northern coastal areas of Vietnam."

"In view of the fact that there will be no real threatening forces in the surrounding areas of Xingang in the short term, I don't think it is necessary to focus on external defense at the beginning of the construction of Xingang. Compared with defense, I think we should pay more attention to the introduction of a large number of immigrants into the local area. The issue of law and order in the future. If we want to develop large-scale coal mines, we have to introduce at least two or three thousand immigrants from Vietnam to Xingang, right? And the managers we can send to the local area are at most double digits. In this case We clearly need a vigilante force to assist us in our internal management."

"It seems that the top priority of our military and police department is to expand the security company." Yan Chujie replied somewhat resentfully.Wang Tom's opinion has obviously overturned the original plan of the Military and Police Department. Of course, a port that does not pose a major external threat does not need to start military construction in the direction of a fortress-like stronghold from the beginning.Moreover, what Wang Tom said is indeed very reasonable. Instead of paying attention to the external enemies who do not know where they are, it is better to manage the large number of immigrants introduced in a short period of time.

"The proportion of military personnel transferred to station overseas should be readjusted, and the proportion of security personnel should be appropriately increased." Tao Donglai also agreed with Tom Wang's opinion.

"Then do you still want the army guns ordered by your military and police department?" Liu Xingli from the metallurgical workshop asked in the crowd: "If there is no rush, the iron will be used to make tools first."

"Let's make tools first." Yan Chujie replied listlessly.

"You can slow down the guns, but don't stop making guns." A rare scene appeared in the meeting room, Ning Qi actually expressed his opinion on the affairs of the Military and Police Department.

"Why?" Yan Chujie forgot for a moment that Ning Qi was speaking for the military and police department, so he asked back.

"Don't forget that Vietnam is in a state of civil war at this time. The matchlock guns we made can be used for sale besides training and equipping naturalized troops." Ning Qi turned to Schneider and said, "Didn't your Ministry of Commerce always want to talk to the Military and Police Department? Jointly selling arms? If Daming has no way out for the time being, I think Vietnam is also a good choice, and the number of firearms they need may not be less than that of Ming."

"At this time, the Vietnamese are also using firearms in war?" Yan Chujie asked suspiciously: "Don't lie to me because I don't study much."

"Don't think that we call 'monkey monkeys' all day long. There are really just a group of monkeys living there. In fact, the history of Vietnamese using matchlock guns is no later than that of the Ming Dynasty. It is recorded in the fourth chapter of "History of Ming Dynasty". Cheng Zu Zhu Di sent troops to Pingjiaozhi and got the magic machine guns, so he set up the Shenji battalion and began to equip the Ming army with firearms. That was at the beginning of the fifteenth century, 200 years ago. We are in this period now The Portuguese have already sold a lot of firearms to Vietnam, so it can be said that there is already a relatively mature arms market." Ning Qi seized the opportunity to teach Yan Chujie another lesson.

After hearing this, Schneider's eyes immediately lit up: "Our production cost and transportation cost are much lower than those of the Portuguese, and the quality is much higher than their products. This market is not about to grab white or not! Even if we Based on the current production capacity, this is a business of 2000 taels per month."

"You can't make much money from selling guns. A blunderbuss is only ten taels of silver. If you die, you can earn eight or nine taels. Selling guns is a big business. A cannon can easily sell for thousands of taels!" Ning Qi Qi continued to enlighten Schneider, a profiteer: "When necessary, we can also exchange weapons for food, weapons for population, weapons for minerals..."

"Good things must be shared! We sell the north side and then the south side, and sell both sides, let them have a good time!" Yan Chujie said through gritted teeth, his fierce tone made the onlookers involuntarily think of the north-south Vietnam that began in the 50s war.In the civil war that lasted for nearly 20 years, nearly 400 million people in Vietnam died in the war.

Looking at this group of excited warmongers, the corners of Tom Wang's mouth couldn't help twitching, but he didn't say anything.No matter how stupid he is, he also knows that if he brings up any topic like "humanitarianism" at this juncture, he will probably be sprayed bloody by the people present.
