Chapter 1250: Enclave in Nanyang (First update, please subscribe)
Facing his father's question, although there was no answer for the time being, in the next few days, Li Yixuan spent almost the entire time in the library. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would read books. For young people, this seemed to be the easiest way for them to deal with things. Of course, as long as he wanted, he could also go to the university to consult those experts.

However, Li Yixuan knew very well that what his father needed was his study.

What to learn?

To allow more people to live in Antarctica, the first problem that needs to be solved is how they can live there.

If you want to settle down, the first thing you need to solve is housing!
Only after settling down can we consider the next step of clothing and food. These problems need to be solved.

In fact, the core is two words - people's livelihood!
How to make people live in the local area willingly, rather than just through financial subsidies.

In other words, they need to have their own independent hematopoietic ability.

This was to cultivate his ability to handle affairs. When Li Yixuan was looking for answers in the vast sea of ​​books in the National Library, time had already entered the year 1962.

Just before New Year's Day, Zhao Hechuan, like a group of new recruits, boarded a C130 Hercules transport plane.

As a "military policeman", he received fifteen weeks of recruit training and then ten weeks of "professional training", which was actually basic police training. After the training, he followed the convention and drew lots for assignments.

Zhao Hechuan was undoubtedly lucky. Although he did not join the Marine Corps as he wished, he was selected for overseas deployment.

"Haha, I can finally go see the world!"

Like all young people, Zhao Hechuan also had a dream to see the world. Unlike some other people who looked grief-stricken when they were assigned to overseas deployment, he was excited inside and even packed his backpack early, just waiting to set off.

Finally, as New Year's Day was about to pass, he set off with the recruits. On a Hercules transport plane were dozens of officers and soldiers, including new recruits and veterans, from the army, navy, air force, and of course marines and military police.

Their uniforms are different, but one thing is certain: they will all be serving overseas for the next two to three years.

As soon as the plane took off, the recruit sitting next to Zhao Hechuan asked curiously:

"Brother, where are you serving?"

“Gwadar.”

Zhao Hechuan smiled and said:

"Gwadar? Haha, what a coincidence, I'm there too. My name is Sun Chen, what's yours?"

"Zhao Hechuan."

Soon the two of them started chatting.

Because Gwadar is located on the border between Pakistan and Iran, it takes more than ten hours and a transfer to reach the airport. These ten hours are enough time for the two young men to become good friends.

After a transfer at the airport in Ceylon, the plane landed at a seaside airport at around nine o'clock that evening. When Sun Chen and Zhao Hechuan got off the plane, several officers and soldiers also got off, including both new recruits and veterans.

Although the airport looks simple, it has all the necessary facilities. The 3200-meter runway can even deploy H1 bombers.

The military garrison is centered around the airport, with the army, navy and air force all stationed here, and of course the gendarmerie and police are no exception.

“We’re not at the airport!”

The corporal who received them drove the Warrior off-road vehicle straight out of the base and said to them:

"Gendarmerie police are actually police officers. We are here not only to maintain local order, but also to prevent other people from entering here. This is very important!"

Zhang Pengju emphasized this specifically.

"Gwadar originally belongs to Oman. It was leased to us by Britain a few years ago under the Anglo-South Asian Space Exploration Treaty. Although this area is only over 2100 square kilometers, it is a key point for guarding the Persian Gulf together with Musandam. Therefore, its strategic location is extremely important."

At this time, a dilapidated fishing village appeared in their sight.

"But there is another problem. This land was occupied by Oman from the Rat Khanate in the late 18th century, and the Rat Khanate later became part of Pakistan. After its independence, Pakistan also realized the importance of the Gwadar region, so it wanted to take back this land very much."

This is a typical practice of the British, the old troublemaker. They used the Gwadar region to successfully create conflicts between Southeast Asia and Pakistan, and used Musandam to create discord between Southeast Asia and Oman. The cession of Paradise Island also created discord between Southeast Asia and Yemen.

In addition, even with Iran, Britain also made a mess of the situation - when it leased Musandam to Nanyang, it also leased Abu Musa Island, Greater Tunb Island and Lesser Tunb Island in the Persian Gulf to Nanyang.

Although these three islands are not big, the ownership issue is extremely complicated - Iran and the UAE both believe that their ancestors first discovered and owned the three islands. Therefore, both claim sovereignty over them.

Leasing it to Nanyang meant transferring the conflicts to Nanyang.

It can be said that Nanyang has gained nearly 4,500 square kilometers of land in the Middle East through land leasing, but it has also had territorial disputes with Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Pakistan. Regarding this, the official attitude of Nanyang is... What about the dispute?
Just like the three disputed islands with Iran - Abu Musa Island, Greater Tunb Island and Lesser Tunb Island, which are located near the centerline of the main shipping channel of the Persian Gulf, they have important value in controlling shipping in the Persian Gulf.

Once it is obtained, Nanyang will definitely hold on to it tightly!
In contrast, Gwadar, located on the northern coast of the Arabian Sea, has a strategic location that is not important at all.

"Although it is not important, it does not prevent some people from thinking about it! Since the British handed over the jurisdiction to us four years ago, Pakistan has been trying to gain control of this area. They even tried to continuously strengthen their military presence in the border areas and encourage Pakistanis to immigrate to Gwadar. Of course, our attitude is very firm - no entry is allowed."

The off-road vehicle drove along the dirt road. About an hour later, a barbed wire fence that stretched to the end of the sky in the darkness appeared in Zhao Hechuan's sight.

“This is the border,”

After the car stopped, Zhang Pengju smiled.

"Isn't it amazing?"

The reason for saying this is that most people in Southeast Asia are very unfamiliar with borders. After all, apart from Dongning, there is no other border.

But here, there is a real border, not only a border, but also a garrison.

"We are the gendarmerie police!"

At the sentry post, Lieutenant Li Wei looked at the two new recruits in front of him and introduced them:
"If we were in the country, we would just assist the police in maintaining law and order, but here we need to perform another mission - border security."

The "Gendarmerie Police" is a very special armed force in Nanyang. Outside the central city market of Nanyang, there are many small towns such as settlements. There are usually no municipal police in those areas, so the Gendarmerie Police are responsible for maintaining social order.

Moreover, in the early days of the founding of the Nanyang Nation, there were both remnants of the Japanese army and guerrillas who refused to lay down their arms in the dense tropical rainforest. Therefore, for a long time, the gendarmerie police force was also responsible for implementing public security warfare, and was therefore equipped with heavy equipment such as machine guns, mortars, helicopters, and riot control armored vehicles.

"Here, we are outsiders! Remember this, whether it is for the people of Gwadar or the Pakistanis, they are one family because of their faith, so they regard us as outsiders. Therefore, who is a friend and who is an enemy, there is no clear understanding, and what is our mission?"

Li Wei looked at the new recruits and said:
"It is to ensure that the border here is not infiltrated, and to ensure that the local population here does not increase from more than 2000 to more than 20000. This is our mission. Now, are there any other questions?"

After the officer finished speaking, Zhao Hechuan said:

"Sir, request to speak!"

"You are allowed to speak!"

“If someone crosses the border, can we shoot them?”

As Zhao Hechuan spoke, he cast his eyes towards the barbed wire fence - on it were written "No Entry into Minefield" in Chinese, English and local language.

"Your guns are not for show!"

Li Wei said directly, then walked up to him, patted the rifle on his right waist vigorously, and said:

"If you encounter illegal border crossers during patrol, just shoot them. Remember..."

At this time, he was not speaking to Zhao Hechuan and the others, but to everyone else:
"Don't worry about confirming whether the other party is a threat. Remember, you must protect yourself first. Any illegal border crosser may threaten your life. Before you can be sure whether they are armed elements, the safest way is to kill them!"

The order was simple and direct, and of course it made Zhao Hechuan and Sun Chen understand one thing - this place is different from Nanyang. If Nanyang is a paradise, then this is the real world, and in this world, everything is naked.

That night, Zhao Hechuan, who was tossing and turning at the border checkpoint and unable to fall asleep, finally left the dormitory. While smoking outside the dormitory, he saw a sentry tower with comrades on duty standing on it. The MG42 machine gun on the sentry tower was pointing into the distance. At the border entrance, another comrade was walking back and forth with a gun.

"Why can't you sleep?"

At this moment, the commander's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Sir!"

Li Wei walked out from the shadows, went to Zhao Hechuan's side, looked into the distance and said.

"Do you think it's different from what you imagined? In fact, this is overseas. It may be different from Southeast Asia, but we are here to protect it!"

After that, he patted Zhao Hechuan on the shoulder and said:
"Okay, don't think too much. Have a good sleep! When the sun comes out tomorrow, we can go to the nearby village..."

It was not until then that Zhao Hechuan noticed that the officer was wearing a ring on his right hand - a ring from the King's School.

Sure enough, there are brothers from King's School everywhere here!
"We have Pakistan on this side, and Iran on the other side... Well, this is the junction of the three countries. However, compared to Pakistan, Iran is more friendly. After all, for now, Iran is our friendly country."

Turning his gaze in another direction, Li Wei smiled and said:
"If I have the chance in the future, I can take advantage of the national holiday to visit Iran. Tehran is very unique. Besides, there are many people from Southeast Asia working there. Our company has undertaken many projects there."
