1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1955
While worrying about his country's mineral resources, Li Mo, who knew the history of Heitu Port, also had to admit that, as the original owner of this coal mine, An Nanguo also gained a lot from this resource-for-military aid transaction. The strength of Haihan's military assistance to it is beyond the reach of North Korea.What Annan got was not only the opportunity to buy a large amount of arms from Haihan, but also learned some of the production technology of weapons and equipment.

Although Haihan also offered similar conditions to North Korea, promising to assist North Korea in building a new weapon production site and transfer some of the weapon production technology to North Korea after it goes into production, it is hard to say when these promises will be fulfilled.It’s not that Haihan is dishonest, but that North Korea simply doesn’t have enough funds to start these projects at the moment, and it may take a long, long time.Of course, if North Korea does not have so much patience to wait for the conditions to mature, it can follow Annan's model and provide some resources in exchange for greater assistance from Haihan.

Whether to maintain the status quo and develop slowly step by step, or try to exchange resources for a faster development speed, this is a difficult choice for North Korea.Before going abroad, Li Min’s attitude was still relatively firm in his support of self-reliance and Xu Tu’s great cause. However, after visiting so many places after going abroad, he realized the productivity gap between North Korea and Haihan and other countries. Slowly changing.

After frequent contacts with high-ranking officials of Haihan, Li Lu's biggest feeling is that they are very particular about efficiency, whether it is production, business or combat, and this is the main reason why Haihan can rise rapidly in just ten years. one of the reasons.If North Korea slowly develops at its own pace, it may still be the same after ten years. What kind of arsenal and shipyard may still be a mirror image by then, and the gap in strength with countries like Haihan will only increase. The bigger it is, even if it is a follower who is waving the flag and shouting, he may be dismissed as too weak.

Moreover, Haihan and Annan still maintained a close diplomatic relationship after each took what they needed. After Annan continued to upgrade his military strength, he also had more opportunities to follow Haihan's footsteps and expand overseas.If Annan's initial contribution is regarded as a long-term investment, then the current harvest is enough for them to thank themselves for their wise decision at the time.

What will North Korea's choice be? Looking back at the decision at this time after a few years, whether it is proud of it or regretful. Li Yu hopes to help the country choose a correct direction through his experience and learning in Haihan.But this responsibility is too great. Li Wei has never undertaken a similar task in the past, and he was not fully aware of it even when he left North Korea. own mission.

After staying in Heitu Port for three days, Li Wei took the initiative to mention returning to Hainan Island to continue his previous visit.This made Beks feel a little anxious, because according to what he learned from contacting Danzhou, the investigation work was not going very smoothly, and so far the true identity and specific movements of the enemy have not been ascertained.According to his understanding, this also means that Danzhou still has a certain degree of security risks, and under such circumstances, arranging Li Lu to go to Danzhou naturally has certain risks.

In fact, Bai Kesi was quite at ease about the public security situation in Danzhou. After all, he had just finished his work in Danzhou before going to Changhua, so he had some understanding of the local situation.But he also knows that there are quite a lot of migrants in Danzhou, and it is really difficult for the investigators to conduct a thorough investigation in the local area. It's just that if the group of people who are doing trouble in Changhua are not caught for a day, this safety hazard will continue to exist. He really I don't want the North Koreans to take the risk of appearing publicly in Danzhou, because if something happens, it may affect the North Koreans' trust and dependence on Haihan.

However, the matter is far from developing to the point where Haihan has nothing to do. Zhang Xin, the mayor of Danzhou, gave another solution, dispatching local troops to provide stricter security for the North Koreans, even if there are enemies lurking in Danzhou. The state will never give it a chance to launch an attack.Of course, if such blatant security measures are adopted, it is estimated that the North Koreans will be aware of their situation, and this is a situation that Beks does not want to happen.

And according to Bai Kesi's schedule, he was supposed to return to Sanya about seven or eight days ago, but because of a temporary trip to Changhua, there was an extra trip to accompany Li Luo to Annan.Now there is already a huge backlog of work in Sanya, and he has to consider whether to go to Danzhou again to personally confirm that there will be no mistakes in the local security work.

After much deliberation, Beks sent a special telegram back to Sanya to ask Victory Fort for instructions.In fact, when the investigation work started in Changhua, when the itinerary of the North Koreans was changed, it had already been reported to Fort Victory.But at that time, everyone thought that the impact of this incident would not last long, so in fact no plan was prepared. It was not until Bai Kesi sent a telegram from Black Earth Port to ask for instructions that the executive committee really realized that this incident was more serious than expected. trouble.

"Ministry of Security Zhang Qianzhi presided over the detection work in Danzhou? Young people are still not prudent enough! Why was this kind of case only allowed Danzhou to assist in the investigation at the port? When they realized that the other party was withdrawing from Changhua from the sea, they should immediately investigate. The nearby navy has launched a search!"

At the subsequent interim meeting of the executive committee, Tao Donglai unceremoniously criticized Zhang Qianzhi's response during the investigation.

Yan Chujie responded: "The Danzhou navy was still dispatched, but due to coordination problems, it did not go to sea until the next afternoon, and there was no large-scale sea search and arrest, and only the coastline between Danzhou and Changhua was carried out. The inspection was carried out. Of course, everyone knew the result, and the Navy did not find anything."

"It took me a whole day to go to sea, so I must not be able to find it, and the ship may not be going to Danzhou! Is it possible that the other party found out that their whereabouts were exposed and fled Hainan Island directly, so they are in Danzhou I can't find anyone at all." Ning Qi also put forward his own views on the incident in Changhua.

Tao Donglai said: "I called Lao He just now. It was Zhang Qianzhi who insisted that these people were probably still lurking in Danzhou, waiting for the opportunity to attack again, so they organized another fishing operation in Danzhou. , I want to use the underground black market to confirm whether this group of people is still waiting for opportunities in the local area. What Lao He means is that he hopes to give Danzhou another one to two days. If there is still no movement, then temporarily lower the priority of the investigation work Let the North Koreans complete their itinerary in Danzhou first."

"In the end, you have to catch these people to be at ease!" Gu Kai patted the table lightly and said: "Everyone, the root of this matter is still the gangsters who attempted to attack. Even if they are not in Danzhou, the hidden danger is still there." It still exists. Now we can only trust the investigation capabilities of the Ministry of Security, fully support them, solve the case as soon as possible, and eliminate hidden dangers.”

"The most important thing is that we must find out who these people were instructed by. This is the real hidden danger!" Yan Chujie took the conversation and continued: "I will order as soon as possible to let the garrisons in Danzhou and Haikou cooperate with the Ministry of Security. If necessary, a naval fleet can also be dispatched to patrol the main waterway of the Qiongzhou Strait to cut off the opponent's possible retreat in advance!"

Yan Chujie still attaches great importance to this matter. Like most high-ranking Haihan officials, he still chooses to trust the professional judgment of security officials like Zhang Qianzhi on the case.This is not because they have too much preference for Zhang Qianzhi, but because this is a case that must be investigated clearly.

This organized attack is not an ordinary personal grievance. Although the target is the son of Joseon, there is no doubt that this is a challenge to Hai Han's authority, and the main messenger behind it must be dug deep.If necessary, the military will undertake subsequent arrests and even revenge tasks after solving the case, so Yan Chujie must clearly express the military's attitude.

The Executive Committee quickly unanimously agreed and asked the Ministry of Security to continue to lead the investigation. At the same time, the military cooperated with strengthening the local security measures in Danzhou to ensure the personal safety of the son of the Joseon Dynasty during his stay in Danzhou.Of course, the most important thing is to completely eliminate the hidden dangers as soon as possible.

"If there is still time, then send more capable people to Danzhou to support it!" Gu Kai suggested: "Presumably the Ministry of Security has limited manpower in the local area, and sending more people there can also assign tasks."

The voyage from Sanya to Danzhou is about [-] to [-] nautical miles. If the navy's fast boats are dispatched to sail at full speed, it will take about one day and one night to reach Danzhou, so it is feasible to dispatch manpower to reinforce now.

"Old He has already moved first." Tao Donglai responded: "Yesterday he mobilized manpower from Sanya and Haikou to Danzhou to reinforce Zhang Qianzhi. The manpower from Haikou is probably already here. I hope this time the problem can be solved. solve it completely."

He Xi ordered the mobilization of two field operations teams to Danzhou for support yesterday. Although the two groups together have less than 30 people, they are all the most experienced and skilled operators from the Ministry of Security. Under such circumstances, special tasks such as arresting and extermination are carried out.Coupled with the local security department in Danzhou, it is enough to strengthen the platoon. This is the greatest support He Xi can provide Zhang Qianzhi so far.

"Then what should Lao Bai do? Let him go back to Sanya first or go to Danzhou again?" Ning Qi did not forget to send a telegram to ask Bai Kesi for his next move. At this time, he was still waiting for the arrangement of Victory Fort in Heitu Port.

"If he feels uneasy, he can go to Danzhou to watch it, but don't let him intervene in directing the investigation, so as not to mess himself up." Yan Chujie obviously didn't trust Bai Kesi's ability, and immediately emphasized a sentence .

Beks received a call back from Sanya later that day, informing the executive committee of its decision and leaving it to itself to decide whether to go to Danzhou again.After thinking about it again and again, Beks still felt that it would be safer to go there and sit in town by himself.However, at this time, the weather was not good, and there was a rare thunderstorm in the waters of Halong Bay. This gave Bai Kesi a reasonable excuse to stay, and let Li Mo stay in Heitu Port until the weather improved before returning to Danzhou. Buy more time to investigate the case.

And after that strange buying message appeared on the Danzhou black market, the price of this buying message was raised twice in the next day, from the original price increase of [-] to [-], and the bidder indicated that if The information is true and reliable, and the transaction price is still negotiable.

This undoubtedly caused the local underground intelligence market to blow up. Even many irrelevant people rushed in and began to ask around who the heir of the Joseon Dynasty who was about to visit Danzhou was. Some people paid a lot of money Go buy his itinerary.Of course, there are also some old foxes who sensed the strange smell in this matter and took the initiative to avoid related topics, even if someone asked them, they pretended not to know.

At this time, some underground brokers who could not sit still began to use their official relations to inquire about the son of Joseon.Mr. Huo was even more on pins and needles. This was a relatively large deal he had received this year. It was enough to last him for a few years, and the other party agreed to his offer of [-] yuan in one bite. This is clearly possible. space to operate.He has even thought about it, and when the time comes, he will break up the news and sell it, and try to squeeze more money from the other party.

But who would have expected that there would be someone doing bad things in this unique business. If someone really used [-] yuan and was cut off halfway, then he would suffer a lot.So Mr. Huo is trying to find out who is offering a reward in the market to buy news while he is mobilizing relationships to inquire about the news of the North Koreans.

In order to prove that he has nothing to do with this, the person surnamed Xue has already paid him [-]% of the deposit today, but at the same time the other party also expressed his attitude that if Mr. Huo cannot produce dry goods in the future, he will ask him for the money back.Of course, Mr. Huo has no intention of refunding the money at all, but for the sake of his own brand, he still wants to try his best to complete this transaction.

There is just one thing that makes him feel a little strange. The black market has already been rumored, but the official has not responded at all. He neither refuted the rumor nor sent someone to warn those who tried to participate in this matter. Could it be that the official is so relieved? , without the slightest concern about the possibility of leaking the itinerary of the son of North Korea?
But he didn't think about it carefully. After all, it is a great benefit for him that the government does not intervene. If the government really intervenes, it may scare away the money owner, and the follow-up income of this transaction will be huge. It's over.For the current plan, the key point is naturally to try to get the news, and then put the money into his own pocket.As for what this Xue is planning to do to the Koreans in Danzhou, that is not a question he needs to care about.
