1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 383 Transfer Application
The North Vietnamese court is now paying money and food and cede land to emigrate, certainly not out of will. Regarding the current hidden resentment and resentment of the North Vietnamese court, the executive committee has long been aware of it and is wary of it.Before Haihan's own influence is so great that Annan can directly succumb, the most effective way to control Annan is to let him have an opponent that he fears all the time—even if he doesn't have one now, he must create such an opponent for him. To prevent the North Vietnamese court from turning their minds to Haihan after they are free.

However, the North Vietnamese side has not yet realized the black-bellied plans of the executive committee. Now they are all focused on defeating the small southern imperial court as soon as possible. That is the best way to describe the current state of mind of the rulers in North Vietnam.

The same is true for Zheng Zuo. As the most likely candidate to inherit Annan's ruling power in the future, his views on the domestic political situation are basically the same as those of his father, Qingdu King Zheng Bing. Annan had no real malice, and there was no fundamental conflict of interest compared with the South Vietnamese rebels who usurped power and rebelled.Moreover, although the cooperation with Haihan paid a very high price, the gains are quite obvious. After this year, the combat effectiveness of Annan's guards has been greatly improved, and the civil war that has lasted for several years has finally come to an end. With the possibility of ending, judging from the results of the cooperation, the high-level people in Beiyue generally think that it is still very worthwhile. If there is any dissatisfaction, it is nothing more than a little lower cost performance.

The most important thing is that Shenglong Mansion and Haihan can bargain, negotiate conditions slowly, and even share common interests in many cooperation projects, but they have nothing to talk about with the South Vietnamese rebels. The conflict of interests between the two parties is irreconcilable. In the end, it must be the result of endless death.

Judging from Haihan's past actions, it is not necessarily a bad thing to hand over these locations to Haihan. At least the existing concessions are still developing well, and thanks to the port built by Haihan in the concession, Now North Vietnam's shipping industry has improved a lot compared to the depression in the past few years. Although it seems that Haihan has gained a lot of benefits, North Vietnam is not without gains.Zheng Zuo didn't think for too long, and then nodded, saying that there is no problem in the general direction of the new concession proposed by Haihan.

With this foreshadowing in place, it seemed natural for Tao Donglai to raise the follow-up conditions - An Nanguo must use the original Black Earth Port, Tushan Port, and Yongan Port, plus four newly added port areas, as treaty ports Open to Haihan, Haihan enjoys administrative autonomy and extraterritorial rights in addition to the power of settlement and trade in the above areas.Although before this, the three ports in the north have basically implemented this approach, the people covered by the extraterritorial law are only a very small number of Haihan cadres, but this time the scope of application proposed by Tao Donglai will be expanded to all The group of naturalized people in the concession.

Several ports in North Vietnam controlled by Hai Han people have experienced significant development in the past year, and the number of local people who work for Hai Han and even become naturalized is gradually increasing.Except for Heitu Port, which was completely under Haihan's rule, Tushan Port and Yong'an Port, which were originally built as military strongholds and temporary ports, now each have thousands of permanent residents.

The more people there are, the more troubles there will be. Which side's laws and regulations should be followed to handle civil cases in these two places?The military area of ​​Tushan Port is not bad. After all, the North Vietnamese military officers here are also under the command of Haihan’s instructors, and local affairs are basically decided by Haihan’s side. The situation in Yong’an Port is relatively more complicated.

Yongan Port was a temporary transshipment port built behind the front line during the Haihan Aid Vietnam operation in January. After the war, the North Vietnamese army still deployed a considerable number of troops on the front line, so this port was preserved and has always been managed by Haihan One party conducts business management.Due to the limited official shipping capacity of North Vietnam, the task of transporting materials from the Red River Delta to the front line is basically undertaken by Haihan cargo ships. There are as many as ten Haihan cargo ships that go between Tu Son Port and Yongan Port every month. , which has gradually boosted the popularity of Yongan Port and surrounding areas.However, with the increasing prosperity of Yong'an Port, troubles gradually increased.

Migrant workers working for Hai Han people in Yongan Port, regardless of whether they have naturalization or not, are treated much better than the civilian laborers recruited from the people in North Vietnam. Because Yongan Port is close to the front line, a large number of civilian laborers are stationed nearby.So slowly some civilian husbands began to escape from the military service, entered Yong'an Port to work for the Haihan people, and even applied for naturalization.When the North Vietnamese army in charge of the civilians tried to capture these people from Yong'an Port, they inevitably had friction with the Haihan militia stationed there.If we do not try to clarify the treatment of Haihan naturalized people in the Haihan Concession, then this kind of thing will only increase in the future, and without laws and regulations, there may even be a small-scale armed conflict between the two sides.

In fact, Zheng Zuo had heard about these problems caused by the Haihan Concession for a long time. Since the executive committee brought this matter to the table, Zheng Zuo had to express the attitude of the North Vietnamese court: "According to the According to the agreement you signed before, the provision of immigration to you must be carried out through the specialized agency of your country. This kind of behavior of entering the concession after escaping from the army and applying for Haihan nationality is illegal according to the agreement between the two parties. Instead of stopping it, you provided shelter for it, which violated the agreement we had originally agreed upon."

In this matter, Zheng Zuo can indeed point out Haihan's inadequacy with confidence.In order to pay Haihan's military expenses, Thang Long Mansion agreed to use the immigrant population as a bargain. Due to the large scale of immigration, Thang Long Mansion also set up a special immigration management agency, the Immigration Department, to be in charge of contacting Hai Han. and organize immigration.In order to avoid an uncontrollable situation, the agreement at the time did indicate the difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration. Only immigrants sent to Haihan through the channels of the Immigration Department can have the legal status recognized by both parties.And those North Vietnamese people in Yong'an Port who spontaneously joined Haihan's native place obviously did not enter through such formal channels.

Ning Qi responded: "About the problem that the little prince said, we have actually been aware of it for a long time. It is not terrible to have a problem, as long as we are willing to negotiate and solve it. We also have a corresponding proposal on this matter, simple In other words, let your country’s immigration department set up offices in several concessions, so as to solve immigration status problems for the people nearby.”

Hearing this, Zheng Zuo couldn't help frowning, the Haihan people are really making progress!As soon as I complained about the suspicion of sheltering illegal immigrants in the concession, the opposite party jumped out and demanded that the identities of these illegal immigrants be legalized. If we really do what Haihan asks, I am afraid that a large number of people will flock to Haihan party.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zuo shook his head and rejected Ning Qi's proposal: "Forgive me, I can't agree to this matter. Regarding immigration, just continue to follow the previous rules."

Ning Qi still has a few words to debate with Zheng Zuo, Tao Donglai has already interrupted the topic: "Let's reach a framework agreement now, and the details of the immigration issue can be discussed later."

Zheng Zuo's negotiations in Shengli Harbor lasted for five full days, during which time the two parties basically reached an agreement on the cooperation methods and cooperation projects for a period of time to come.In particular, the several natural harbors that the executive committee wanted were finally obtained as they wished—of course, it would take a while to start construction, at least after the South Vietnamese regime was wiped out.In addition, the two sides have also reached a series of cooperation agreements in the fields of economy, trade, politics, and culture.

The officer corps brought by Zheng Zuo spent almost all of these five days in the staff department of the Military Commission, discussing with the high-level personnel of the Haihan military the battle plan for the next few months.Even for the Haihan officers who have participated in many battles after crossing, this battle plan has extraordinary significance.

Although the South Vietnamese regime is now on the verge of collapse, its ruling area is so large that it cannot be completely resolved with a few simple battles.From Donghai to Hue, and then to Quy Nhon, Khanh Hoa, Binh Thuan, and Vung Tau in the south, this offensive line along the east coast of the Indochina Peninsula is more than a thousand kilometers long. For the troops of this era, Both maneuvering and resupply will be very real difficulties.If there is not enough seaborne power as a supplement, it may be difficult to wipe out the armed forces in South Vietnam in one go only by relying on the army to fight flatly.

Even if the Haihan militia were willing to do their best to help and send troops to help in the battle, such a long front was enough to cause many uncontrollable variables in the battle situation. Therefore, the generals of both sides had different views on how to wipe out the vital forces of South Vietnam as soon as possible.After five days of talks, although the opinions on the general combat strategy have tended to be consistent, there are still quite a lot of differences in the specific combat methods and arrangements.

On December 1628, 12, Tom Wang led the militia navy fleet that had just won a big victory in the Pearl River Estuary naval battle and returned to Victory Port.It was only after the seaman joined the discussion that the outlines of the battle plan finally became clear.

Wang Tom's opinion is very clear. Considering that the new army's combat method is extremely dependent on logistics supplies, the entire combat process must take the supply line as the basic consideration, and the combat plan must also be formulated according to the logistics supply radius.Now the strength of the South Vietnamese army is far inferior to that of the North Vietnamese, so the speed of advancing the front line no longer depends on how strong the combat troops are, but on whether the logistics can keep up—in other words, it depends on the capabilities of the shipping department.

After staying in the staff department for 24 hours, Tom Wang couldn't hold it anymore, so he asked for leave and returned to his residence and slept for most of the day.When he woke up, he smelled the smell of food before he opened his eyes, and couldn't help but sniffled and said, "Roast goose?"

"You can still catch up with hot food when you get up right now."

Tom Wang lifted the quilt and sat up, seeing that several members of the North American Gang were in the room, putting all kinds of hot meals on the table.With a braised chicken wing in his mouth, Morgan said: "Today is on vacation, and it's rare that you are back, so I suggest that brothers come to meet you."

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Tom Wang replied, feeling warm in his heart. These friends have been busy with their own affairs recently, and there is very little time to get together.

Morgan and Johnson are now not only sitting in Victory Harbor Medical Center to provide health and medical security for the traversers, they also have to take turns to give lectures to the students in the health school, and they have to go out to make rounds every month, and even go to Black soil port.Johnson was a little better. After all, he had a wife and children, and the executive committee consciously did not arrange too many foreign affairs for him.The single old Morgan is different. In addition to his job as a doctor, he also serves as a sniper instructor in the Victory Harbor Barracks, and participates in various foreign military operations. active character.

However, Qiao Zhiya, Luo Jie, and Shi Diwen, the three engineering men, have much less chance of showing up recently.Qiao Zhiya was imprisoned in the chemical department and has been unable to get out, and Luo Jie and Shi Diwen have also stayed in Tiandu's military workshop for a long time as technical consultants.They have not been able to participate in the recent battles in Lijiazhuang, Dangan Island, Hoi An Port, and Wanshan Port due to work reasons.

Soon everyone sat together, and Qiao Zhiya conjured up a bottle of wine like magic: "Royal Salute, the 60th anniversary of the Queen's coronation, this is my private collection!"

"There is still such a good thing!" Tom Wang took a look at it, handed it back to him, then nodded and said, "It seems that something good happened?"

"It's not a good thing." Qiao Zhiya said as he unscrewed the bottle cap, "The executive committee plans to separate the chemical department and set up a departmental unit, and give me a promotion along the way."

Prior to this, Qiao Zhiya's chemical industry department was under the name of the Ministry of Industry, but there was no independent management system, and it basically belonged to the vertical management unit.However, as the three-acid and two-alkali production line was gradually put into use, the executive committee decided to establish a chemical department under the Ministry of Industry for future management and development.And Qiao Zhiya, who has always been one of the main technical backbones of the chemical industry department, was promoted because of his consistent good performance.

"Then I really have to congratulate you, Director Qiao!" Tom Wang had been in the system for a year, and slowly began to learn how to handle it. He raised his glass to congratulate Qiao Zhiya on his promotion.

After Qiao Zhiya held glasses with everyone, he took a sip of the wine and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I don't want to be the director of this department. If I can choose, I would rather go to the militia to be the teacher leader."

"However, the militia does not have a teacher establishment." Shi Diwen immediately poured cold water on him: "Even if there is, then Mr. Yan and Mr. Tao must be the first to get such a position. You will probably have to wait a long time for such a small transparency." Have the opportunity."

"What's the matter, are you unhappy in your current unit?" Tom Wang noticed that Qiao Zhiya's mood was not very high, so he asked with concern.

"How can he be so happy?" Roger took over the conversation and said, "Of the dozen or so technicians in the Chemical Industry Department, he is the only overseas Chinese. Even if no one excludes him, he will look out of place in the unit. Diwen, Johnson and old Morgan, at least they can have a companion in the unit, but Qiao Zhiya has been fighting alone."

"It's as if I'm not alone." Tom Wang shrugged and said, "It's not a big deal. Besides, it's so nice to stay here. You don't have to go through life and death, you are free from worries and carefree. Look at Johnson, this The old guy gained at least ten kilograms after crossing."

"[-] kilograms to be exact." Johnson unashamedly raised his glass to show off to the crowd, sparking a burst of laughter.

Qiao Zhiya also smiled, but judging from his slightly stiff expression, it was obvious that his mood had not improved.Wang Tom also noticed his depression, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, tell me what you really think, what are your plans?"

"I hope to be transferred from my current unit, either to the Army or the Navy... I just don't want to stay in the laboratory any longer." Qiao Zhiya looked helpless: "My interest is not in chemical engineering at all. If I had known that I would spend my days in the laboratory after time travel, then I might as well not come here."

Tom Wang frowned and said, "But for a person with professional qualifications like you, the executive committee may not be willing to let you go! Unless someone else can take over your current job, otherwise you can only be rejected even if you file a transfer report .”

"This is not a problem. The professional level of other colleagues in the unit is not inferior to mine. There are also many capable people among them, and they are more suitable for professional research work than me." Qiao Zhiya looked at Wang Tom and said: "I need someone to help me now." I give it a hand."

Speaking of this, Tom Wang fully understood what Qiao Zhiya meant.Qiao Zhiya wanted to leave his current unit and return to the army. In addition to his own way of making a transfer report, if a high-level military officer could propose an important person, the chances of success would undoubtedly increase a lot.Wang Tom is now in the top five in the Military Commission without any problem, and he can be regarded as a high-level person with a lot of words. Qiao Zhiya wants to find someone to help out in the military, so Wang Tom is naturally the first choice.

"So you want the military to come out to the VIPs of the Executive Committee?" Tom Wang asked directly.

"It would be the best if it could be like this." Qiao Zhiya's face was full of expectations, and the others also turned their attention to Tom Wang.

Tom Wang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with the stares of his friends, but he still responded bravely: "Okay, I will try my best to help you, my brother!"

"Thank you, Tom!" Qiao Zhiya stretched out his arms, hugged Wang Tom lightly, then raised his glass and toasted loudly: "For Tom's victory, for my new life, and for our friendship!"
