Chapter 2897

Qian Tiandun knew that his move to lead his troops south to enter Cam Ranh Port would definitely put a lot of pressure on the generals who had been stationed in the South China Sea for a long time. It was inevitable that they would be suspicious of him and even show hostility.

After all, they have controlled the South China Sea for many years and have intricate local interests. They have long regarded this area as their own backyard and will definitely not be willing to share these industries with latecomers. Over the years, the garrison commanders in various parts of the South China Sea have not

Big changes, and no one was parachuted in from Sanya to take over their positions. This is not entirely a natural phenomenon, but a situation formed by long-term games between all parties, both overtly and covertly.

But Qian Tiandun has both prestige and strength. Sanya agreed to let him lead his troops south into the South China Sea. This in itself is a statement, indicating that the Executive Committee is happy to see this happen. Is the purpose of Qian Tiandun coming to the South China Sea?

Local generals will definitely have doubts about whether replacing someone will break the delicate balance that has long been established in this region.

The generals of the South China Sea gathered at Cam Ranh Port, not only to discuss the external expansion plan proposed by Qian Tiandun, but also to find out the real purpose of Qian Tiandun's move south.

If the long-standing calm situation in the South China Sea will inevitably be broken, then the most important thing for the generals at the moment is to secure their own interests and avoid losses.

Roger was silent for a long time, as if he was judging whether Qian Tiandun's response was true. Qian Tiandun was not in a hurry, drinking tea slowly, waiting for Roger to speak.

"I believe you are a true patriot, but I also believe that everyone has selfish motives. I want to know what your selfish motives are." After thinking for a long time, Roger finally spoke.

"Why do you have to know this?" Qian Tiandun asked.

Roger responded: "I don't want to cooperate with a selfless saint."

Qian Tiandun smiled: "Don't worry, I am not a saint, and I don't want my partners to be saints. I came to the South China Sea just to continue leading troops to fight and explore the unknown world by the way. It's that simple."

Roger said: "If we act together, how will the occupied territory be divided?"

Qian Tiandun said: "I want to take a share in the development of the port and minerals, and everything else can be yours. But when I need to mobilize troops, your fleet must fully cooperate."

Roger stretched out his hand and said, "It's a deal."

When Qian Tiandun saw this, he stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "If everyone was as happy as you, things would be simple."

At this point, the banquet had begun to be served, and Qian Tiandun invited Roger to the table and chatted while eating.

On such occasions, Takahashi Minami naturally had to accompany him. Roger, on the other hand, did not fight alone, and asked his young adjutant to take a seat as well.

Seeing this, Qian Tiandun estimated that this young adjutant must have some background, otherwise, how could he be given the seat of a junior lieutenant adjutant in such an occasion.

Sure enough, Roger then took the initiative to introduce the background of the young adjutant: "This is Tan Tianlei, the eldest son of the Tan Juren family. After finishing high school in Sanya three years ago, Tan Juren asked him to return to Xingdao to enlist in the army and work with me."

After Qian Tiandun heard this, he asked the young man about Tan Juren's current situation and asked him to send his regards.

Tan Juren was appointed as the administrator of the newly established Sing Tao Colony in 1635. When he first took office, he caught up with the coalition forces composed of the British and Johor to attack Sing Tao. He was also one of the few civil servants who had personally experienced overseas wars.

At that time, Tan Juren originally intended to serve one overseas term to strive for promotion opportunities after returning to Sanya, but he never thought that he would take root in Xingdao after moving south and never be transferred back to Sanya to serve.

However, after holding power in Xingdao for 20 years, Tan Juren has long since given up on returning to Sanya to serve. Xingdao's financial situation has always been good. He can also enjoy all the glory and wealth locally without the pressure of competition from his peers. So what?

Why go back to Sanya to join the involution?

And Tan Juren asked his son to enlist in the army and work with Roger, which shows that the two people have cooperated quite happily in the past twenty years, which is why they have such a mutual trust arrangement.

Of course, from another perspective, this also shows that Roger and Tan Juren have an unbreakable control over the affairs of Xingdao and have begun to prepare for the transfer of power to the next generation.

In the past twenty years, Xingdao has been an important southern border town of Haihan, and its importance is no less than that of Jinzhou in Liaodong. Tan Tianlei was able to be reincarnated into the home of such a powerful local official, and Luo Jie was there.

With your support, your future prospects will naturally be limitless.

"Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. When you see young people like Xiao Tan and others, you will feel that you are really old!" Qian Tiandun couldn't help but sigh.

Roger was somewhat disapproving: "In recent years, there have been no battles near Star Island, and these young people have not had much opportunity to exercise. Only when they actually go to the battlefield can we know whether they are reliable."

After that, he patted Tan Tianlei on the shoulder and said: "This is a rare opportunity. During these days of meetings at Camlan Port, you can ask Gao Qiaonan for advice. I can teach you a few tricks and you will be able to run sideways in the army.

"

Gao Qiaonan quickly said some polite words, but Roger continued: "You don't know, this kid has been reading about your deeds in the newspaper since he was a child, and he regards you as a role model. I heard that I can see you at Cam Ranh Port this time.

That person was really more proactive than me. He specially asked me to arrange a steamboat and drove it at full speed the whole way."

Qian Tiandun smiled and said: "No wonder you guys arrived one day earlier than Xiao Liang."

During his time in the army, Gao Qiaonan was known for his fierce fighting and leading the way. He was also known as the ever-victorious general because he never lost a single battle in which he participated. In order to encourage civilians to join the army, the Haihan military has also been intentionally increasing military recruitment.

The publicity campaign against Takahashi Minami was carried out to portray him as a fighting hero who was born as a naturalized citizen.

In addition to various official battle reports, there are also various folk novels adapted from his experiences, which have been widely disseminated. Therefore, even in Xingdao, which is thousands of miles away from where Takahashi Minami actually served, there is no shortage of stories about Takahashi.

Admirers of Nan as an example.

Seeing that Tan Tianlei was just giggling but embarrassed to talk to him, Gao Qiaonan took the initiative and said: "When you are free in the next few days, I might as well come over here as a guest and let's discuss and learn from each other."

Tan Tianlei didn't even dare, but after realizing it, he quickly agreed. His joy was beyond words. Competing with his idol on the school field was probably his long-standing dream.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere at the moment, Qian Tiandun also asked a question that interested him: "I remember that after the Manila War, the Ministry of National Defense rewarded your troops based on their merits and rewarded your troops with the establishment of an independent battalion in the South China Sea, which should be amphibious.

How could the special operations force’s development path be later reorganized into two parts, the army and the navy?”

When Roger heard him ask about this, he just sneered a few times, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Obviously this was not a pleasant memory for him.
