1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2893

Qian Tiandun knew in his heart that the funds, tactics, and strategies he mentioned were not the fundamental issues restricting the actions of the leaders of the Southern Navy.What war bonds, what long-term business, these are not the objects they care about.

There is actually only one condition that these generals really need, and that is the permission and support of the Executive Committee.

These generals in the South China Sea have important people under their command, they need money and rich experience, and they also have overseas combat experience. Although the level of equipment is not as good as that of special operations divisions, it is more than enough to deal with potential opponents in the domain.If it weren't for the restraint of the executive committee, I'm afraid everyone would have split up and acted separately.

But for the meeting on the bright side, it is still necessary to clarify the objective difficulties. Even if it is a compilation, it must make up a few decent reasons, so that the executive committee cannot feel that its binding force on the local armed forces is not strong enough.

The few people present here are old fritters who have held military power for many years. How can they not know the reason, and they will naturally cooperate with Qian Tiandun to perform a performance, and let him slowly demonstrate the feasibility of the action plan.

Even Yan Chujie, who came here on behalf of the Executive Committee to investigate the military situation, actually understood what tricks these people were playing, but from the standpoint of the military, instead of exposing the tricks of these people, he would choose to cooperate with them to advance this matter.

After all, these generals leading troops overseas are Yan Chujie's basic base, and a large part of the reason for being able to occupy a top spot in the executive committee all year round is the support provided by the generals from all walks of life.When the time is right, Yan Chujie will of course give them proper rewards.

In short, the executive committee must believe that the relevant action plan can only be implemented after it has solved these problems and given enough support to the overseas generals. This is the correct process of doing things.

In the past, it was not that no one wanted to try to do this, but the distances between the major jurisdictions in the South China Sea are too far. If you want to take the lead in the middle, you will not have enough influence, and it will be difficult to take into account the interests of all parties. The focus of development has always been on the north, and the executive committee is unwilling to loosen them.After a long time, if the effect is not seen, the generals will not bother to toss.

But this time Qian Tiandun led the special forces to go south, the right time, place and people finally got everything together.Qian Tiandun has enough prestige and appeal, has a long-prepared action plan, and coincides with changes in the external environment. The country no longer needs to pour a large amount of military resources into the north, and the external expansion plan based on the South China Sea can finally enter the general The stage where we sit down to discuss the details of the operation.

On the first day of the meeting, everyone reached a preliminary consensus on the joint operation, which was smoother than Qian Tiandun expected.

"Gao Qiaonan, what do you think after listening today?" After the meeting, Qian Tiandun asked Gao Qiaonan for his opinion.

Gao Qiaonan replied: "I think they agree with it, but they don't necessarily agree with it in their hearts. Especially General Roger, he doesn't seem to have a good deal with the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense."

Qian Tiandun said: "Xingdao, where Roger is stationed, is far away from the mainland of our country. He has been arbitrarily and dictatorial overseas all year round. It is inevitable to be somewhat rebellious. But judging from his performance, it may be that there is some discord between him and Sanya. We will look for opportunities later. Ask about it."

Takahashi Nan said: "If our troops want to go south, there is a high probability that they will not be able to bypass the jurisdiction of General Roger. We have to think carefully about how to cooperate with him in the future."

Qian Tiandun said: "Are you worried that he will cause trouble and not cooperate with us? I don't think there is any need to worry. The purpose of our planning this operation is not to compete with the generals in the South China Sea. What he wants to get from it is It should all come true.”

Gao Qiaonan said: "So the general already knows their purpose?"

Qian Tiandun said with a smile: "Not only them, but also ourselves. Soldiers and horses have spent half their lives, so what's the matter? In terms of fame and fortune, we people have already earned enough, and we still don't have much room for further advancement. The motivation that can still drive us to do something today is nothing more than the unfulfilled long-cherished wish when we were young, and the benefit of future generations."

"Generals in the army, it is very common for their sons to inherit their father's career. As far as I know, Feng Annan, Xiao Liang, and Luo Jie all have sons who are serving in the army. The bigger the territory they have laid down now, the future generations can inherit it. Even if it’s just for the sake of their offspring, they will seize this opportunity to perform well and don’t have to worry about someone paddling.”

Gao Qiaonan was silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously, agreeing with Qian Tiandun's statement.

Compared with these Haihan generals, Gao Qiaonan is actually a more pure soldier. He has served Qian Tiandun for more than 20 years.But he also understands that the only thing he is good at is marching and fighting. If he takes off this military uniform, he may not be as good as a cook for Qian Tiandun, so he must support Qian Tiandun unconditionally when it comes to fighting in the South China Sea idea.

But also because of this, it is difficult for him to empathize with the thoughts and plans of other Haihan generals like Qian Tiandun.

But this is not important, for Takahashi Minami, as long as he knows who he is fighting for, it is enough.

Due to the tacit agreement reached at the previous day's meeting, the agenda of the next day's meeting quickly advanced to the details of the action.

The generals who were not interested in the conditions mentioned by Qian Tiandun yesterday finally cheered up after they started talking about the details of the operation.

Qian Tiandun's action plan is mainly divided into three directions.One is the line from New Guinea, Bismarck Islands to the Solomon Islands in the southeast of the Philippine Islands.

The second is Kalimantan and Sulawesi, south of the Philippine Islands.

After completing the clearing of these two directions, you can continue to go south, cross the Java Sea and reach northern Australia to establish a stronghold.

If you take the island chain that constitutes the outline of the South China Sea as the boundary, and look at this area that Haihan has not set foot on the map, its area even far exceeds the size of Haihan's current territory.

Correspondingly, there is a third direction, exploring the Malay Peninsula and the Indian Ocean west of Sumatra.The external resistance that may be encountered in this direction is the opponent that Haihan needs to deal with seriously.

Western colonists entered this region much earlier than Haihan, and as a latecomer who rose strongly in the East, once Haihan entered this region, he would be regarded as the most threatening competitor by his western counterparts.At that time, there will definitely be conflicts in the open and in the dark.

Even nominal partners such as Portugal and the Netherlands may not treat Haihan with courtesy when the time comes, and they still have to rely on strength to speak.
