Chapter 2885

The conditions mentioned by Feng Annan are indeed important reasons that restrict Haihan's expansion to the south. Compared with the traditional territory controlled by the Central Plains civilization, the objective environment in the South China Sea is not very good. In the past two decades, the development speed has increased

Far inferior to the north.

A large regional port with superior natural conditions like Cam Ranh Port would probably have turned into a prosperous port city long ago if it had been placed in the north. But today, it is still a small coastal town centered on the Haihan Military Base, with a population of

There are only 20,000 to 30,000 people, and about half of them are Annan people living nearby.

If Haihan wants to make overseas colonial areas like Cam Ranh Port prosperous, he needs to invest more resources and build industries with higher production value here to attract more people to settle here. But the problem is

Haihan invested most of its resources in the north, while the development and construction of the South China Sea were almost all organized and implemented by each colonial area, and its efficiency can be imagined.

If these colonial areas want to take the initiative to expand their territory, after bearing the huge initial investment and the risk of cross-sea operations, what they can get are often only some small colonial sites that require continuous investment and have little profit prospects, and the country is not interested in such

There are no specific subsidy and support measures for the action.

When the external expansion gradually fell into a situation where it was unprofitable and even unable to make ends meet, over time, the colonial areas in the South China Sea became too lazy to make some thankless attempts, and instead focused their energy and resources on deepening existing problems.

on the territory.

Feng Annan put down the tea cup and continued: "Annan and Luzon Island have many mines. As far as these places are currently explored and mined, the next few generations can rest on the mines to eat. The other side of Star Island guards the Strait of Malacca

This golden treasure land also has no worries about future financial resources. How many people do you think are willing to go through troubles and find something to do for themselves under such circumstances?"

Feng Annan said these words as if he was putting on a show to make Qian Tiandun retreat, but Qian Tiandun didn't think so. Based on his understanding of Feng Annan and the previous communication between the two, he was convinced that this was not the case.

Feng Annan’s true intention.

Qian Tiandun was not the only one present in the audience. If we exclude Gao Qiaonan, who shared the same position as Qian Tiandun, then the only one left was Yan Chujie, who came here on behalf of the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense.

Feng Annan's words were not so much a posturing, but more like complaining to Yan Chujie about the unfairness of the national policy. He did not give the local governments in the South China Sea the investment and support they needed, which led to the weak external expansion in recent years.

In this case, Qian Tiandun will definitely not argue with Feng Annan about the reality of these situations at the moment, but will cooperate with the other party to transfer the issue to the decision-making of the executive committee.

"The problems Lao Yan and Lao Feng mentioned are actually not difficult to solve. As long as the Executive Committee is willing to provide some appropriate policies, I think the lifeless status quo in the South China Sea will be changed!" Qian Tiandun said,

While looking at Yan Chujie.

Yan Chujie could not hear the implication of these two people, and responded with a smile: "Okay, you just said a few words, and you formed an alliance to put pressure on me, right?"

Qian Tiandun said: "You are the Minister of Defense. We must come up with a charter for these matters so that we can handle them easily."

Yan Chujie said: "In principle, the Ministry of National Defense has not restricted military operations for the purpose of external expansion, but it must use this as a reason to apply for more military expenditures, expand troop establishments, increase weapons and equipment, and even higher command authority. National Defense

The Ministry must be controlled, and I believe there is no need to explain why.”

Feng Annan said: "If we don't give any benefits, we can't do things the other way around. The Ministry of National Defense is only responsible for changing the territory every year, right?"

Yan Chujie said: "What the Ministry of National Defense can do depends on what specific goals you can achieve."

Yan Chujie said a word and kicked the ball back to Qian Tiandun and Feng Annan.

At this time, it was Qian Tiandun's turn to draw the pie: "My goal is that in the next few years, the control area of ​​the South China Sea can be expanded outwards. To the east, it can reach the Solomon Islands, and to the south, it can reach northern Australia.

Going west, we can establish a colonial area on the coast of India. Of course, it would be better if we could enter the Arabian Sea and establish a stronghold on the Arabian Peninsula."

"In addition to my special operations division, the troops participating in the operation, I hope that the troops stationed in Annan, Luzon, Xingdao and other places can also participate. Of course, if there are troops from other places who also want to join, that is not a problem. Troop strength

The more we have, the shorter the time it will take us to achieve our goals.”

Yan Chujie said: "Then I will ask the question again in Sanya. Where will the funds come from for such a large-scale military operation? You can't just flatter the executive committee. Investment will be needed to move the capital in the next few years.

There is a large amount of funds, and the executive committee is also very tight, so I am afraid it is unlikely that funds will be allocated to support the actions you mentioned."

Qian Tiandun responded confidently: "As for funds, we can use other methods of raising funds, such as issuing bonds."

"War bonds?" Yan Chujie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this word.

Qian Tiandun said: "War bonds don't sound good, I think they might as well be called victory bonds. The bonds can be used as collateral by my country's various infrastructure and assets in various parts of the South China Sea, and are issued in batches by Haihan Bank at home and abroad. The funds obtained are earmarked. It is earmarked and the use of funds is supervised by the Department of Defense.”

Feng Annan frowned and said, "Can we raise enough military expenses by doing this?"

Qian Tiandun nodded and said: "As long as there is stable and high income, more people will be willing to pay for it than you think."

Yan Chujie said: "But it often takes a long time for new overseas colonies to generate income. What about the repayments during this period?"

Qian Tiandun said: "As long as we can continue to expand externally, we can continue to expand the pie, and of course we can continue to issue bonds. If money comes in, there will be money to repay."

Yan Chujie said: "How does this method sound like a Ponzi scheme? Are you planning to change careers?"

Qian Tiandun said with a smile: "The Ponzi scheme is a white wolf, but we are not. We have physical assets as collateral for bond issuance, and the physical assets will continue to increase as we expand in overseas control areas. These assets

In the end, income will be generated, and it will be more and more, which will far exceed the income of bonds."

Yan Chujie thought silently for a while before speaking again: "If the external expansion operation is suspended and causes problems with bond issuance and redemption, the country's credibility will also be affected. Once started, it will not be so easy to stop.

Already."

Qian Tiandun said solemnly: "I hope that the external expansion will last at least one to two generations. By that time, our country will have enough resources around the world, and we will no longer have to worry about being unable to make ends meet financially.
