Chapter 2482
The Executive Committee is not unaware of some of the "little tricks" used by the Star Island Colonial Zone in the development of oil projects. The Ministry of Security and the Military Intelligence Bureau have their own intelligence sources in each overseas colonial zone. The local situation
Not much can be hidden from their eyes and ears.
However, the Executive Committee will not easily intervene in such development projects led by overseas colonies to prevent certain senior officials from profiting from them. If there is no personal interest drive, then I am afraid that the development progress in most areas will stagnate for a long time.
Only by allowing the officials in charge of the work to profit appropriately can the development and construction of these areas proceed smoothly.
What's more, Tian Yeyou is the only mining expert in the Chuanchuan Group. Only he has the corresponding professional knowledge and can organize and manage the mining of new mineral deposits. All the mineral deposits developed by Haihan Kingdom over the years are inseparable from Tian Yeyou's participation.
The value created for Haihan over the years is difficult to measure simply in monetary terms.
Regardless of whether Tian Yeyou wants to make money to support his family by presiding over projects or to pave the way for his children to open up their joints, as long as he is still serving the country, the executive committee will not pursue these trivial issues. Compared with Tian Yeyou's attitude towards the country,
Such small contributions are simply not worth mentioning.
The Executive Committee is also well aware of the role played by the Sing Tao Colonial Zone here. In fact, it is not uncommon for overseas colonial zones to take the lead in developing and constructing industrial projects on their own in Haihan. The relevant history can be traced back to Haihan
The first overseas colonial area opened was Black Earth Port, whose main industry was coal mining.
Colonial areas with mineral projects have natural advantages in terms of development conditions. Black Tu Port and Dengzhou, Shandong are examples of this. Areas lacking such natural conditions can only find development opportunities from other aspects.
For example, like Hong Kong and Zhoushan in the early years, they used their special geographical location to position the local development direction as an international trade port, or they followed the Kaohsiung Colonial Zone and vigorously developed planting and agricultural deep processing.
However, the Sing Tao Colonial Area failed to find a suitable positioning and development direction until the development of the Dumai Oil Field project. Although the area is located at a strategic maritime location, the scale of navigation in the area at this time is far from being able to support a large-scale trade.
The level of Hong Kong. As for agricultural development, because the local geographical conditions and climate environment are completely different from those of the East Asian continent, and the immigration situation has always been unsatisfactory, no significant results have been achieved.
After entering the 1940s, the war in the South China Sea gradually decreased. Although the Singdao Colonial Zone also organized several waves of operations to expand its territory, it failed to win the attention of the Executive Committee. During this period, the Executive Committee
The main focus was on digesting the southern coastal areas of the mainland that were annexed from the Ming Dynasty, and they did not care about the distant South China Sea borders.
To put it bluntly, the Xingdao Colonial Zone has no ability to make a profit. It even has to rely on funds provided by the state for a long time to subsidize consumption and maintain the operation of the government system. Naturally, it cannot be taken seriously by the Executive Committee. Moreover, the Xingdao Colonial Zone
Over the years, Haihan has been a place of exile for tortured prisoners, and some departments do not want to take the initiative to change this special local functional positioning.
Now that the Sing Tao Colonial District has managed to develop the Dumai Oilfield project on its own, it will definitely play a certain role in promoting Haihan and the local industrialization process. The executive committee is naturally happy to see the results. As for the Sing Tao official's share of this project
We will acquire more shares and use the profits from operations to develop the local area in the future. These practices are also within the scope approved by the Executive Committee.
Of course, if the Star Island Colonial Zone wants to take some measures for change in the military field, especially actions such as expansion and replacement of equipment, it needs to be double reviewed by the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense. It does not mean that the local area can raise its own military expenses.
The goal achieved. Roger next wants to drastically expand and reorganize the army, update armaments, and get approval from Sanya. Then he must first find a reasonable reason for this-such as protecting the petrochemical industry in the Dumai area.
Protecting Haihan's industries or personnel is one of the most common reasons Haihan has used military means overseas in recent years. Overseas colonial areas will also use this reason to make some special applications to the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense.
.
For example, when Haihan was developing the local copper mine in Fushan County, Dengzhou, Shandong Province, in order to ensure the normal production of the mine, the executive committee specifically approved Chen Yixin to form an infantry battalion in the local area, specifically responsible for protecting the safety of the Fushan copper mine production area.
Years later, Haihan developed a gold mine in Zhaoyuan County, Dengzhou. Chen Yixin followed suit and expanded the local garrison on the grounds of protecting gold mine production.
Of course, these resource areas "protected by force" by Haihan will naturally be included in Haihan's territory and will not return to their original owners. Therefore, the executive committee will generally annex areas that Haihan intends to annex.
Agree to the applications of overseas generals, and sometimes even actively instruct them to send troops to occupy target areas.
Whether Roger can realize his military expansion plan depends to a certain extent on whether he can find valuable targets for action in the future.
However, for the Haihan Executive Committee, regardless of the birth of the Dumai Oilfield project, the South China Sea will not be the focus of attention in the near future. The direction of the situation in East Asia will depend on whether Haihan can
It is an important condition for stable development. Most of the people who are now in power on the Executive Committee are in their fifties and sixties. They must consider what kind of situation they will leave to the next generation of rulers after they step aside.
After arriving in this world, I slowly discovered that the various grand ambitions and hegemonies I envisioned before traveling were not that easy to realize. If you just use military means to defeat opponents in East Asia, Haihan already has enough strength to achieve such a goal.
, but to occupy the world and build a powerful Eastern Empire, it is still somewhat beyond the power of the rulers.
Just the Fuguang area currently annexed from the Ming Dynasty will take a long time for Haihan to digest. The vast majority of people in the Crossing Group have no experience in governing local areas for officials. For many people,
Being a county magistrate or mayor is already the upper limit of one's abilities. Outside of Hainan Island, one has to rely on the bureaucracy cultivated by the Ming Dynasty to continue to govern the local area.
If Haihan wants to continue to annex more areas on the East Asian continent, it can indeed be achieved from a military perspective, but how to govern it is a big problem before the Executive Committee. It is impossible to implement Haihan's system in the occupied areas.
, governing in the manner of an industrialized civilized country will only rule these places in name. Not only will it fail to achieve the intention of the Executive Committee, but it will actually reduce the efficiency of governing the country.
