Chapter 2896

When the national structure was being designed, many people in the Haihan Executive Committee were worried that excessive military expansion would produce a series of follow-up problems. Generals who were far away from home and controlled a large amount of resources would gradually ignore the authority of the Executive Committee.

A situation of warlord separatism was formed in the overseas ruling areas. Therefore, the Executive Committee set up many restrictions on armaments, funds, personnel and other aspects to ensure stable binding force on overseas troops.

Although Haihan has taken many measures to this end in the past few years, the shortcomings he was worried about have gradually emerged.

As time goes by, the financial and military resources of the overseas ruling areas are getting stronger and stronger, and the military and political power in these areas have been in the hands of one or two fixed people for a long time, resulting in the power system tending to solidify. The originally set overseas area officials

The rotation system of tenure and office has not been implemented due to various practical reasons.

The situation in the mainland direction is relatively better, because the areas occupied by Haihan are all in the coastal zone, and they are gradually advancing from south to north, so the connections between the various regions are relatively close.

Due to the special geographical environment, the South China Sea has to expand outward in a leapfrog manner. The centers of various regions are often separated by two to three thousand miles of sea territory. The exchange of materials, personnel, and information is far less than in the north, forming local separatism.

The speed is also much faster than that in the north.

Qian Tiandun had been fighting in the northern frontier far away from the power center of Haihan for many years, so he naturally knew that such a situation would happen in overseas regions, but the attitude shown by these generals in the South China Sea was still far beyond his expectation.

Although it has not reached the level of being scattered, at least they have their own small calculations. And they actually started to divide the sphere of influence in the next few years in front of Yan Chujie. This is a scene that Qian Tiandun did not expect at all.

.

Qian Tiandun interrupted their argument with a dry cough: "Everyone, isn't it a little too early to start arguing about these things now?"

The two people who were facing each other just now suddenly agreed: "It's not early!" "It's better to make it clear first!"

Qian Tiandun looked at Yan Chujie. In this case, he had to step in to settle the argument.

As expected, Yan Chujie said: "I don't think there is any need to fight for the governance of the Malacca Strait, as long as it is in the hands of our country. But in the future, if Lao Feng wants to raise his own funds to build a colonial port in the area, I think there is no problem.

of."

Feng Annan said: "Then let me ask one more question. Surely the port built by me does not need to be classified under the name of Xingdao, right?"

Roger sneered and said: "Then your port should be far away from Star Island, otherwise I will think you are engaging in vicious competition."

Yan Chujie said: "We are all our own people. Business competition should be resolved by commercial means as much as possible, and don't complicate simple things. In addition, for large-scale projects such as trade ports, it is best not to duplicate construction to avoid wasting resources."

When Qian Tiandun heard this, he realized that this was far from settling the argument. It was clearly a fight between Tai Chi and Ni Ni. However, it was not that he could not understand the persistence of these two people.

To build a trading port with complete facilities and a certain cargo handling capacity, the initial investment is often millions, and the construction period is calculated in years, which is not an easy task for local officials.

When Qian Tiandun was stationed in the north, he was partially involved in the preparation and construction of Zhifu Port, Port Arthur and other ports, and was well aware of the difficulties. If Feng Annan planned to take the lead in starting a new business in the Strait of Malacca and build a new port to compete with Xingdao,

That really needs to be done with caution, otherwise it is very likely that the work will be in vain.

From Roger's point of view, seeing someone trying to get in on his sphere of influence and trying to steal part of his exclusive business resources would certainly not be a good sign. He didn't get angry on the spot and turned against him.

It's just for the sake of my colleagues.

Although Yan Chujie and Qian Tiandun tried to persuade them to make peace, Feng Annan and Luo Jie still did not reach an agreement on the future prospects of the Malacca Strait. Xiao Liang just stood aside and watched, neither helping nor persuading, obviously not wanting to be involved.

into the conflict between these two people.

The two sides continued to argue, and finally Yan Chujie proposed to adjourn the meeting temporarily to let everyone calm down and consider their own interests and demands, and then continue the discussion tomorrow.

Therefore, the agenda of this day's meeting stopped at this section. Although it cannot be said that it ended on bad terms, it could not reach more consensus.

Qian Tiandun was helpless, but he also knew that he could not offer much to calm the dispute between the two families. He could only return to the station first and slowly consider how to resolve the matter.

However, not long after he sat down, Takahashi Minami came to report that Roger had come to visit.

"Oh? He came here on his heels!" Qian Tiandun was slightly surprised by Roger's visit.

But the other party came to visit him so eagerly after the meeting, and his purpose was obviously not simple. Qian Tiandun nodded and motioned to Gao Qiaonan to invite Roger in.

"Old Qian, seeing that it's almost dinner time, I'm here to bother you, won't you be angry?"

Roger's excuse sounded far-fetched, but Qian Tiandun didn't take it seriously and invited him to sit down with a smile: "It's just the right time. My cook was brought here from the north. You must have few opportunities to taste Shandong cuisine here in the South China Sea."

, you can evaluate it later."

After that, he ordered to go down and ask the kitchen to prepare a banquet.

After Roger thanked him, he took the initiative to introduce the topic: "There are no outsiders here now. I have a question. Can you answer me honestly, old man?"

Qian Tiandun said without comment: "You say."

Roger said: "I just want to know, what is the real purpose of leading your troops south?"

Qian Tiandun asked: "What do you think my purpose is?"

Roger said: "For fame and fortune, I don't think it makes sense. You have made countless military exploits in the north for so many years. Whether you want to join the executive committee or become the king of Liaodong, I don't think there will be a big problem. As for

Money, I think that is not a problem for you. Although you are gone, you must still have a lot of property in the north."

Qian Tiandun smiled and said: "Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is basically correct. You continue to talk."

Roger continued: "I heard that you and Chen Yixin are both teachers and friends. They have always had a very good relationship. Even if there is a conflict, you will not be the one who runs away."

Qian Tiandun said: "Chen Yixin wanted me to stay in the north, but there is no war to fight in the north. I can't stay any longer and want to make a move. Besides, these people under my command have finally achieved their current strength.

I can’t let them follow me to retire in the north.”

Roger said: "So you came all the way to the South China Sea just to maintain the combat effectiveness of the special warfare divisions and help the country expand its territory?"

Qian Tiandun asked: "Otherwise?"
