1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1778 Command Power

The two candidates who are most qualified to compete for the Deputy Minister of National Defense in the Haihan military do not have much pursuit of official career, but want to make achievements on the battlefield and use their achievements to prove their life value.This is naturally a good thing for the unity and healthy competition atmosphere within the military, but for individuals, especially for Qian Tiandun who already has a family, this kind of persistent pursuit may cause some damage to his family. Negative impact.

Of course, Qian Tiandun didn't know what kind of life Luo Wudan wanted, but it was indeed difficult for him to give up his career and the tasks entrusted by the state to support his family.And with his current status, some things are actually not as simple as Luo Wudan thinks, and if he wants to stop and change his way of life, he can't just make a report to the executive committee.

"You know the situation of the Ministry of National Defense to some extent. There are only a dozen or so people who can really lead troops to fight. Now most of them are guarding overseas colonies. There are even fewer generals who can lead troops to fight around like me and Wang Tom. Yes. Think about it, if I retreat from the front line, will someone behind me step up?" Qian Tiandun didn't want to argue with his wife, so he explained patiently and slowly, trying to ease her emotions.

"The country can't expect you to lead troops to the next generation to take over, right? Naturalized officers like Gao Qiaonan will take over the military power sooner or later. They are the mainstay of future combat troops. Your Ministry of National Defense should send them to the military as soon as possible. Give them the command." Luo Wudan retorted angrily.

Qian Tiandun shook his head and said: "No matter how loyal Gao Qiaonan is, he is a person in this time and space after all. As a soldier, he can carry out our orders thoroughly, but what we want to do in this world , he may not be able to understand. He can learn the various tactics we teach, but it is difficult to lead troops to fight according to our ideas. After all, the world in the eyes of naturalized officers is different from the world we have seen. It has nothing to do with whether the executive committee trusts their loyalty."

Naturally, Takahashi Minami's loyalty is unquestionable. It has been fully proved in the past ten years of wars, large and small, and his position and military rank have also increased year by year with the increase in military exploits. Today, he is the only one in the army. Naturalized colonel head.Qian Tiandun would usually hand over the command of the troops to Gao Qiaonan during wartime, and he would only make macro deployment and tactical arrangements, while Gao Qiaonan would be responsible for the specific front-line command.

Although Gao Qiaonan can't be said to have a high commanding talent, he is able to carry out the tactics arranged by Qian Tiandun without compromise, and he has indeed accumulated a wealth of combat experience in the past ten years, which is enough for him to deal with various battle situations up.In the past two years of the special operations group's wars in the north, Gao Qiaonan was almost the commander of the battlefield, and he personally led the battle several times. He is also a well-known fierce general in the Haihan Army.It's just that Gao Qiaonan has always had the mentality of repaying Qian Tiandun's appreciation, and is willing to support Qian Tiandun, so he has always been relatively low-key. The outside world often only knows the name of Qian Tiandun, but they don't know that Gao Qiaonan is in this team key role in the army.

Qian Tiandun has a very high prestige in the army, but he still has to obey the arrangements of the executive committee and the Ministry of National Defense for the appointment and promotion of naturalized officers.Although Takahashi Minami is useful and loyal, as he said just now, his background is a big problem that cannot be completely solved.

In the time-traveling group, even a kid like Chen Yixin, who was a high school student when he time-traveled, his vision and insight are far beyond that of adults in this time and space, and his understanding of the various ruling concepts of the executive committee is far better than that of naturalized people. civil.Naturalized officers such as Gao Qiaonan and Wu Sen who have command authority in the Haihan Army can indeed fulfill the task of commanding operations relatively well, but because of the difference in worldview, it is difficult for the Executive Committee to let them go Stand alone.Troops stationed overseas generally have traversers who control the highest local decision-making power, and naturalized officers do not have the final say.

Luo Wudan wanted Qian Tiandun to hand over the special operations group to Gao Qiaonan, and then retreat behind the scenes and return to Sanya officials. It can only be said that this idea is theoretically feasible, but in fact Qian Tiandun is very Clearly this is unlikely to happen.Due to the limited number of generals in the Haihan military, the executive committee will not let him step down now, nor will it completely transfer the combat command of the special operations group to Gao Qiaonan.For a long period of time in the future, the Haihan military will continue the existing power structure, that is, the core of the existing dozen or so senior generals who are traversers, supplemented by a large number of naturalized grassroots officers, and the main combat The army must insist on using the traverser general as the chief officer, so as to ensure the army's loyalty to the Executive Committee to the greatest extent.

It's just that Qian Tiandun's explanation is a bit unfair to women. What Luo Wudan wants to achieve is to let her husband do what he wants, not to listen to him explain why he can't do so.

"Then you can change with Yan Chujie, let him go out to lead troops to fight, and you guard the stall of the Ministry of National Defense in Sanya, this makes sense!" Luo Wudan said angrily: "If he disagrees, I will Go to his house and block the door!"

Qian Tiandun couldn't laugh or cry: "How is this possible! This minister is so easy to become. If I go to take Lao Yan's seat, I'm afraid I will be given by these local warlords who come to ask for military expenses, equipment, and soldiers every day. Annoying."

Although the Haihan army is powerful and invincible, all kinds of resources, including the military budget, are actually in a situation where there are too many monks and too little food all year round.Sanya has developed a new type of weapon, and the military leaders all want to win the opportunity for their troops to be the first to deploy it.No one thinks that the size of the troops under his command is too large, so every time there is a quota for expansion, everyone must rush to grab it.There is competition between the army and the navy, and there is also competition within the two armies. Everyone wants to win more resources for their troops.

Of course, Qian Tiandun will do the same thing. For example, for the expansion and upgrading of special warfare battalions, he basically has to report to the Ministry of National Defense and the Executive Committee every two months, and the main target of this method is naturally national defense. Minister Yan Chujie is gone.It was really hard for him to imagine how Yan Chujie would deal with the demands of many generals for resources. This kind of thing could not be settled in a smooth manner. No matter how he handled it, many people would complain and dissatisfy, and Qian Tiandun didn't like socializing in official circles. His temperament may not be able to handle such a situation at all.

Of course Luo Wudan knew Qian Tiandun's temperament, but in the face of her husband's excuses, it was really difficult for her to accept everything he ordered.If she wanted to break things up and reason slowly, she knew that she would definitely not be able to explain to Qian Tiandun. After all, Qian Tiandun was a military professional. Women can't do that.She didn't know how to proceed with the conversation, so she simply refused to answer Qian Tiandun's words.

Looking at his wife's face, Qian Tiandun knew that the matter was not over, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Since you're out, don't think about these unhappy things, just have fun and relax, I haven't taken vacations for some days It's gone!"

"The last time you were on vacation was the winter of the year before last!" Luo Wudan replied angrily.In the winter of the previous year, the Haihan army and the Houjin army were in a confrontation in the Jinzhou Isthmus. The two sides chose a truce during the winter break tacitly, and Qian Tiandun took the opportunity to go south to spend a vacation with his family.After that, Qian Tiandun returned to the front line, and led his army south to prepare for the attack on Manila last winter. It is true that he has not enjoyed a holiday for more than a year.

"Why don't you go to Wuzhizhou? I heard that the executive committee allocated special funds to build a sea resort there. The beach and sea view are superb. After I came back this time, several people have recommended it to me." Qian Tiandun gently Putting his arms around his wife's shoulders, he said softly, "It's rare to have the opportunity to enjoy the world of two, so let's not worry about those troubles for now!"

Before the two came out this trip, they handed over their son to a special person to take care of them. Of course, the purpose was to enjoy the rare quiet vacation.Although he didn't have a clear destination when he set off, Qian Tiandun actually had several plans in mind.Now that he is anxious to appease his wife's emotions, it is natural to immediately throw out a vacation plan to divert his wife's attention.

In fact, Luo Wudan didn't know that Qian Tiandun was deliberately changing the subject and didn't want to discuss the choice of residence, but she really couldn't refuse the temptation to enjoy a beautiful vacation with her husband.In the end, she wanted Qian Tiandun to be transferred back to Sanya, wasn't it just to live together with him?

Wuzhizhou Island is not far from Shengli Port. In fact, it is in Haitang Bay near Tielu Port in the east of Sanya. Starting from Shengli Port, bypassing Yalong Bay, and then turning north along the coast for a while, you can see this area. It is a small green island with just over one square kilometer.This island was a 5A scenic spot called "Lover Island" in the time and space they lived in before, and the scenery is naturally needless to say.

Among Haihan's current ruled areas, the vicinity of Sanya is undoubtedly the safest and most stable area, so most of the officially built resorts for travelers are also located in this area.Of course, Wuzhizhou Island is still an undeveloped uninhabited island in this time and space, but the traversers knew the beautiful scenery of this place, so they closed the island in the name of the executive committee early on, and it was not until the past two years that they began to open the island. Build resort facilities on the island.Of course, all facilities on this island will not be open to the public, and only accept special groups of people who are mainly travelers.As for all the daily maintenance and operating expenses, they are maintained by the special fund allocated by the executive committee, which can be regarded as a special benefit for the cross-travelers.

However, in order to prevent someone from "occupying" the resort facilities on the island all the year round, the executive committee still stipulates that each person's vacation time on the island should not exceed one month a year - this is also a comprehensive consideration of the number of people traveling through the island and the reception of the island facilities A standard set after ability.

But in fact, after the opening of Wuzhizhou Island Resort, the situation that the Executive Committee was worried about did not happen.It is true that some of the time-traveling people who came to this time and space together have chosen to give up being officials, enjoy life as a rich man, and have a lot of free time, but these people are often already in places such as Yalong Bay. Real estate property owners have built large manors with better living conditions. They don’t really have much interest in officially operated resorts. They just go to try something new when they open, and they may not go there once in a year or two.On the contrary, many people would rather spend more time and money to go south to Ambuna Island or go north to Penghu in order to spend their holidays in a fresher environment.

Most of the time-traveling people who are still participating in the governance of the country are often too busy to spare time, and there are not a few people like Qian Tiandun who don't have long vacations throughout the year.Don't talk about staying in a resort for a month, it's not bad if you can live in a week.When the business of Wuzhizhou Island is relatively good, in fact, it is only during the National Day period at the end of the year and the first half of the year. During this period, the number of people going to the island for vacation is probably the most.

When Haihan held the National Day celebration two days ago, some travelers who didn't want to attend the military parade chose to come here for vacation.Fortunately, Qian Tiandun made preparations in advance and booked a sea vacation house on the island early on. Otherwise, if he had to come and stay for a few days at this juncture, the island might not be able to provide reception.

At the speed of the speeding ship, it only takes half a day to sail from the outer sea of ​​Shengli Port to Wuzhizhou Island.However, when this eye-catching catamaran docked at the dock of Wuzhizhou Island, it still attracted the attention of many people.

The people who traveled on the island for vacation naturally knew this ship, and some of them were even lucky enough to ride it.Although this ship and the smaller Lightning belong to the private property of the North American gang, in recent years they have not gone to sea very often, and they have not taken on military missions as often as they did in the early days.These members of the North American Gang are away all year round, and only the bearded Johnson who has been staying in Sanya for a long time still sails out to sea from time to time.

The first reaction of those who saw the boat docking was naturally that Johnson had brought his two daughters on vacation, but after the boat stopped, it was Qian Tiandun and Luo Wudan who disembarked from the boat.

Immediately after the boat docked, someone came to confirm their identities, and then led the couple to the holiday house they booked on the island.As for the personal luggage on board, of course someone will take it there later.

Although Qian Tiandun rarely returned to Sanya and changed into casual clothes, people on vacation on the island still recognized him when they met each other.During the short trip to the holiday house, many people took the initiative to say hello to them.

"It seems that I'm quite popular?" Qian Tiandun showed off to his wife with a smile: "For a person like me who rarely shows up in Sanya, it's not easy for so many people to recognize me!"

Luo Wudan also smiled and said, "Then do you want to consider staying in Sanya and let more people know you?"

Qian Tiandun laughed twice, not daring to answer the question.It was hard for him to get this topic out of the way, so he naturally didn't want to entangle his wife about it any longer.
