1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2609
The fact that the mission was carried out in the name of changing the defense of the troops, or that the mission was completed in the name of the mission, no matter which statement the official finally adopted, this operation was essentially a routine armed show of force to deter neighboring countries parade.

Regarding the expected purpose of this armed parade, Wang Anguo did not elaborate, because it already involves some high-level secrets, and even if all the second-generation wearers with special identities are present, they cannot disclose it at will.However, Tao Hongfang and others are not ignorant of the country's diplomatic strategy, and they can more or less guess some clues.

Tao Hongfang said: "According to our country's past diplomatic methods, North Korea and Japan are different. This visit only arranges a joint exercise with the North Korean naval forces. It seems that it is going to stage a drama of pulling one faction against another?"

Wang Anguo responded with a smile: "Japan has never been too honest. It will help them to recognize their own strength and position."

Japan has sent troops to attack North Korea many times in history, and the Japanese pirates have also plagued the coasts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time, and even had deep conflicts with Haihan in the early years, so Wang Anguo's evaluation is not exaggerated.

Of course, with Haihan's style of acting, he would naturally not show mercy to such prickly men like Japan.In the early years, in order to pursue and suppress the remnants of Shibazhi, Haihan sent troops across the sea to fight many times at any cost, and carried out force strikes against the Hirado clan, eventually erasing it from Japan's political map.However, this kind of labor-intensive expedition cost a lot of money and little profit. Haihanzhi was in the East Asian continent, and he had no intention of annexing Japan's corners and resource-poor areas through military means. Even though force was dominant, the scale of the war was not expanded later.

However, in order to warn this warlike country not to repeat the same mistakes, the necessary military deterrence must be maintained for a long time, so garrisons and irregular armed parades have become relatively cost-effective means of deterrence.

As for organizing joint military exercises with North Korea, it may not have much intimidating effect on Japan, because the waters of the exercises are at most arranged in the Tsushima Strait or the Sea of ​​Japan on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, which is still far away from the core area of ​​Japan. .With the speed of information dissemination in this era, if Haihan does not take the initiative to inform him, the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo may have to wait three to five months, or even longer, before receiving fragmentary information from various channels. Even if they learned the news of the exercise in pieces, their deterrence would have long since disappeared.

Tao Hongfang and others knew very little about these situations, and thought that the intention of the East China Sea Fleet was to draw one faction to attack the other, but in fact Haihan's diplomatic and military strategies for the two countries were formulated separately, and the correlation was not that strong.The joint military exercise may use the Japanese navy as an imaginary enemy, but this is only to take care of the emotions of the North Koreans, and its strength may not be recognized by the navy.If one day Haihan wants to attack Japan again, the North Korean navy can only be responsible for transporting supplies during the war as in the past, rather than serving as the main force on the battlefield.

After Wang Anguo gave a brief explanation of the defense change, seeing that no one asked any more questions, he took his leave and went back to his room to rest.He had to go to Suzhou the next morning to discuss matters related to the procurement of materials, which was related to money transactions, so he had to keep his spirits up and keep his mind clear.

After Wang Anguo left, Tao Hongfang said, "Do you think what he just said is credible?"

Ha Jianyi asked, "Which matter are you referring to? Is it about the firm, or the visit to North Korea and Japan?"

Tao Hongfang smiled and said, "It's not my turn to make irresponsible remarks about the affairs of the military... Of course I mean the affairs of the commercial firm."

Ha Jianyi waved his hand and said, "Then I don't understand this either, so let's discuss it."

Ning Zijing said: "I feel that what he said should be basically true, but there are still some things that he hasn't told us."

"How to say?" Tao Hongfang asked.

Ning Zijing said: "This firm is indeed very low-key. Even you, who work in the Ministry of Commerce, don't know its existence. But I think their purpose is to find some land with better locations in Hangzhou for use in In the future, there is no need to spend such a lot of trouble. Or to put it another way, there are many better places to choose than next to this train station."

"You mean Hangzhou New City?" Tao Hongfang recalled.

Ning Zijing nodded and said: "That's right. I think if they really want to buy land, it must be more than the one you know about. That place may just be a piece of land that was conveniently circled in their purchase plan. Although Wang Anguo just now He explained the subscription process for that piece of land, but he didn't say anything about their business plan here."

Haihan will move the capital from Hainan Island to Hangzhou. The existing urban layout and infrastructure environment obviously cannot meet the requirements of the Executive Committee. Therefore, in the plan to move the capital, the function will be improved in the periphery of Hangzhou City. A more reasonable new urban area will serve as the future administrative center of the empire.

The scale of this part of the infrastructure project is of course more than a hundred times larger than that of Hangzhou Railway Station, and it will also drive the rapid appreciation of the surrounding land.If someone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to hoard land for profit and has corresponding information channels, there will actually be a lot of room for choice.

Of course, this kind of benefit is definitely not something that ordinary people can enjoy, but the Shi family has already participated in the firm established by Wang Anguo and others, and it is probably easy to obtain resources in this area.And judging from their acquisition of the land near the railway station, they should not let go of the new city area with promising development prospects.

Tao Hongfang suddenly figured out the key point: "So the information he told us just now was not to admit that they subscribed for the land, but to take this opportunity to let us know the background of the firm and let us Get out of trouble early, don't get in the way anymore!"

The income that such a piece of land near the train station can bring may not be negligible for ordinary businesses, but for people with their background, it may not be eye-catching, at most it is used to open It's just a comprehensive large business store.If Wang Anguo just said that he bought the land, it would also stop Tao Hongfang's investigation work, but he just admitted "superfluously" to the backstage background of the firm, which seems to be superfluous, but Now it seems that it has a clear purpose.

If there are still ten, one hundred, or one thousand pieces of land with appreciation potential in the Gyeonggi area in the future, the benefits involved are so great that no one can turn a blind eye to it.
