1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2646
Yin Changxing has been in Zhoushan for so many years, and his vision and knowledge are no longer at the level of fishermen back then. Although he can't understand An Wenbo's request, he can also think that if the other party is not in a certain state of urgency, he should not make a sudden decision Ask yourself for help.Of course, even so, with An Wenbo's status and influence, it is impossible to regard himself as the only life-saving straw, and he will definitely exert influence on Shi Chengwu through other channels.

After trying to understand the key points, Yin Changxing relaxed a little.Thinking about it, if the matter failed to be done, An Wenbo probably wouldn't blame himself.

But Yin Changxing couldn't figure out for a while how much benefit Haihan could bring to An Wenbo, which would make him lose his head and push forward this plan so eagerly regardless of the risks involved.

At the same time, Yin Changxing's superiors also had a meeting at the residence to discuss the same topic.

"An Wenbo is a smart man. He didn't lose his head when he did this. On the contrary, he knew exactly what he was doing and what purpose he was trying to achieve."

As the person involved, Shi Chengwu must have learned much more information than Yin Changxing, so he can make a more comprehensive assessment of the situation: "An Wenbo is like an emperor in Jeju Island, whether it is our country or North Korea. , it is not difficult for him to deal with, if something goes wrong, he can pull the other party out as a shield. He suddenly decided to choose sides and push Jeju Island out of North Korea’s jurisdiction. I don’t think it’s because of how much he He loves our country, but is thinking of his own vital interests."

From the moment he set foot on Seogwipo Port, Shi Chengwu felt the unusual enthusiasm shown by An Wenbo.After that, An Wenbo also took the opportunity to express to him that he hoped to promote Jeju Island to be merged under the rule of Haihan. Even if it could not be achieved in one step, he hoped that Haihan would clearly support Jeju Island to separate from North Korea and obtain an independent international status.

Regarding the possibility of annexing Jeju Island, it is not that no one has imagined it before, but as the situation on the mainland gradually favors Haihan, no matter whether it is the Executive Committee or the East China Sea Region, considering the governance costs after the occupation, it is impossible Willing to continue to expand the territory in the direction of the East China Sea, but more inclined to use limited resources to receive and govern the former Ming Dynasty ruled area.

The benefits of annexing Jeju Island are far more than the benefits that can be brought by receiving a few more state capitals in the interior of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Moreover, for a place like Jeju Island, it will affect the diplomatic relations between Haihan and North Korea. In the eyes of senior officials, the gain will not be worth the loss.

Therefore, although Haihan has the ability to do so, he has not put it into action. Instead, he signed an agreement with North Korea to use Jeju Island as a cooperative project for joint development, ensuring that Haihan has trade, garrison, real estate sales, etc. in the local area. Privilege will do.As for North Korea's administration of Jeju Island, including the appointment and removal of officials, Haehan will not directly intervene.

Tao Hongfang said: "Since An Wenbo did this out of self-interest considerations, then the matter is much simpler. There should be only one reason why he urgently needs our asylum, and that is to keep his own status in Jeju Island. "

Shi Chengwu nodded slightly and said: "My thoughts are the same as yours. I think he has received some rumors that Seoul will make adjustments to Jeju Island. After all, their father and son have been in charge of Jeju Island for almost 20 years. There is enough oil and water that should be fished, and there should be many people who are greedy for the position of Fu Yin."

Bai Letong said: "But once his plan is exposed, it is tantamount to an act of treason, and there is no way out. Is the situation really tense to this extent?"

Shi Chengwu said: "It's not a last resort, so I guess he won't bring it up so actively... When we get to Seoul, we will naturally know the truth."

If the North Korean court is going to make drastic adjustments to the selection of officials on Jeju Island, and the news has reached An Wenbo, then Haehan's intelligence system in the Seoul area should also have received the wind.

Tao Hongfang asked, "If it's true, what are you going to do?"

Shi Chengwu said: "This is North Korea's family affairs, we are not good to directly intervene."

Tao Hongfang smiled and said, "Aren't you going to give An Wenbo a hand? I think he is very considerate to you, and he should have pinned his hopes on you."

Shi Chengwu shook his head and said: "If An Wenbo has no major faults, at most he will step down and give up his position, and he will not need our help. As for the annexation of Jeju Island, it is just his personal delusion, which is not good for our country. I'm not going to get involved... at least I'll have to report to my superiors first."

Tao Hongfang said: "If there is such a situation, the information has probably been sent to Victory Fort. How to decide depends on the opinion of the executive committee!"

The group of young people headed by Shi Chengwu are all from prominent backgrounds, and they don't care much about money, so it is difficult for An Wenbo to persuade them to intervene by conveying benefits.As for the pros and cons of annexing Jeju Island, they are far more aware than An Wenbo, and will not be easily moved by his persuasion.

Of course, in a hurry, An Wenbo went to find someone like Yin Changxing to play the side drum, so it was even more impossible to achieve any effect.

Early the next morning, the fleet personnel assembled and boarded the ship to prepare to set off northward.As expected, An Wenbo came to the port early to see Shi Chengwu and others off.

When parting, An Wenbo very earnestly invited Shi Chengwu and others to visit Jeju Island when they returned to the south. It seemed that he hoped to keep them for as long as possible, perhaps to prove his relationship with Haihan. close.In this way, if the court wants to move his seat, it probably has to take Haihan's feelings into consideration.

Of course, Shi Chengwu would not make any promises, but just told An Wenbo to take good care of the immigrants staying in Jeju Island.In his opinion, no matter whether An Wenbo continues to be the governor or someone else comes to Jeju Island to take charge, it will not change the relationship between the two countries, and it is unlikely to affect the various industries Haihan operates locally. .

If An Wenbo handles all the work related to Haihan well during his tenure, Shi Chengwu can arrange for him to leave Jeju Island and immigrate to Haihan even if he resigns from office in the future.With the wealth accumulated by An's father and son during their control of Jeju Island, with a little saving, it should be enough to support three generations down.

After Shi Chengwu and others boarded the boat one by one, An Wenbo waved his arms off on the pier until he was too far away to see the figures clearly.

Saying goodbye to Seogwipo Port for a short stay, the fleet bypassed the west coast of Jeju Island and then headed north.At this time, it is still a thousand miles away from the capital of North Korea.
