1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2904

When Qian Tiandun proposed that the special warfare division be transferred from Liaodong to the South China Sea, all parties in the South China Sea were very cautious about this, lest this powerful dragon come to the South China Sea to steal the limelight.However, when Qian Tiandun came up with a plan for external expansion, and left enough space for all parties in the South China Sea to play, these military leaders quickly realized the development opportunities contained in it, and their attitudes changed from being on guard. You have to be active.

Yan Chujie saw all these changes in his eyes, and he was also mixed in his heart.

The good news is that Qian Tiandun's plan has been approved by all parties in the South China Sea. As long as it is carried out, Haihan will surely usher in a new round of expansion in this direction in the next few years.When all parties in the South China Sea have something to do, they will shift their energies from inward involvement to outward, so that the younger generation will have more opportunities to venture out.

What is worrying is that although all parties are interested in participating, their ideas are not unified. Everyone has their own little calculations, and the attitude of not buying each other has been put on the table.If these people are expected to work together and cooperate with each other in future actions, obviously there will be many difficulties to be overcome.

During the meeting in Cam Ranh Port, Yan Chujie could clearly feel that with the continuous growth of the strength of various overseas colonial areas, the executive committee's control over these areas is gradually weakening, and the garrison commanders in various places in the South China Sea are more or less Some ambitions, not willing to stick to the status quo.It is still impossible to predict whether Qian Tiandun's plan will strengthen their centripetal force to the country or fuel their personal ambitions.

However, this matter is definitely more beneficial than harmful to the country, so even though there are still many uncertainties, Yan Chujie still has to do his best to promote the implementation of Qian Tiandun's plan.

In the autumn of 1656, after Yan Chujie returned to Sanya, he immediately convened a meeting of members of the executive committee, and informed everyone of the general situation of the meeting in Jinlan Port.

"The entire operation is expected to successively invest more than 2 sea and land troops in all directions in the South China Sea, gain ten to fifteen new overseas colonial areas within three years, and more than double our control area around the South China Sea. Eliminate those unfriendly external forces within this scope." Yan Chujie briefly introduced the scale and general goal of this operation.

Ning Qi was the first to ask: "Adding so many new colonial areas will inevitably require a large number of people to move to the local area. Can our immigration work keep up? Some time ago, Lao Bai sent back a telegram from Liaodong, saying that the labor force over there The demand gap is huge, and I hope that the country can organize a large-scale immigration operation as soon as possible to move people to the Liaodong area and develop local industries. Under the same conditions, we should deal with the needs of the Liaodong area first, right?"

Tao Donglai said: "Liaodong must be the priority. After all, it will be one of the important industrial bases of our country in the future. Regarding the South China Sea, I want to know how these people who went to the meeting at Cam Ranh Port plan to solve the population problem."

Yan Chujie responded: "The farther away from the mainland, the higher the cost of organizing immigrants from the country. So their idea is that the population structure can be slowly adjusted. In the early stage, the local residents will be used as the basis to realize the fact that my country is in this area. Rule. For some colonies established by Western colonists, they can be packed and eaten, instead of expulsing all people as in the past.”

Gu Kai asked: "It's not impossible to do this, but the cost of governance in the later stage will be very high! Especially for those Europeans, it will be very troublesome to manage."

Ren Liang said: "About the situation you mentioned, in fact, Manila already has a very complete system. I think the local governments in the South China Sea can consider sending people to the Western Management Bureau in Manila to learn from them. How have the local European immigrants been managed so submissively over the years.”

The Hispanic Administration in Manila is a product of the special local demographic structure and is responsible for the management of Hispanic people who belong to the Manila authorities.The Bureau of Western Affairs is an agency directly under the Manila Management Committee. Its biggest feature is that there are many Hispanic employees. It implements the management strategy of "using the West to control the West".

In order to maintain local social stability, the Manila authorities have extremely strict restrictions on the culture, education, political participation, military service, business and other affairs of the Hispanic people under their rule.If there is any display of disloyalty and disrespect towards Haihan, he will lose the qualifications to enjoy these normal rights, and even his naturalization may be revoked, and he will become the bottom of society who can only sell his labor for a living.

The Hispanic personnel who can enter the Western Administration Bureau can enjoy extremely generous personal treatment, and will be repeatedly instilled with awareness of their special status.For their hard-won social status, these people will manage the local Hispanic personnel with a harsh attitude, because as long as any Hispanic personnel have a problem, their positions may be affected.

If the Hispanics want to get ahead, there are basically only two options. One is to be admitted to the Western Management Bureau through fierce competition, and the other is to enlist in the army and accumulate military exploits in the army to get promoted.But if you want to take the second path, you also need to be approved by the Western Management Bureau before you are eligible to join the army.

Although this kind of management method is a bit extreme, judging from the effect of the implementation in the past few years, at least there has not been a large-scale riot by Hispanic personnel under the rule of Manila, but there have been many loyal Hispanic officials.

Ren Liang is in charge of Haihan's police department. It is one of his duties to manage the various ethnic groups under Haihan's rule, so he has always been very concerned about the system implemented by the Manila authorities.When I went to Manila to inspect the work last time, I also specially went to the Western Administration Bureau to hold a symposium to understand the operation of this institution.

Although Gu Kai is in charge of Haihan's judiciary, he obviously doesn't pay enough attention to these overseas ruled areas, and he doesn't know how the local people manage these special ethnic groups.

Tao Donglai said: "Continuing Manila's practice is also fine, but I am personally not optimistic that many European immigrants can be obtained from outside in this process. In order to stabilize the foundation of our country's rule in these overseas regions, in the long run, we still need to pass a large number of foreign immigrants." It can be achieved by moving in Han people and adjusting the population structure. However, this problem can be solved slowly, and there is no need to rush. Talk about the funding, what solution did you discuss in the meeting?"

Yan Chujie looked at Schneider, who had been silent all this time, and said, "Qian Tiandun said that before he went south, he had already talked with Schneider, and planned to raise part of the funds for the operation by issuing war bonds."
