Chapter 2910

At that time, the Spanish fleet set out from Manila and crossed the South China Sea to raid Victory Port. It originally planned to go straight to Huanglong and capture the capital of Haihan in one fell swoop. However, its strength was limited and it could not defeat the Haihan fleet in the face-to-face decisive battle at Victory Port. As a result,

Instead, he put himself on the chopping block.

After a great battle, the Spanish fleet was completely destroyed. This also led to the fact that when Haihan raised his troops to attack the city of Manila, the Spanish's maritime defense power was greatly reduced and was unable to prevent the Haihan fleet from breaking into Manila Bay.

During the Battle of Victory Port, there were tens of thousands of spectators and participants both inside and outside the harbor, so there were basically no secrets about the details of the battle.

Not everyone can pull off an armed fleet comparable to Spain's, not to mention that even the Spanish were not able to take advantage of Sanya. They could not even rush into Victory Port under coastal defense artillery fire to achieve landing.

Those coastal defense batteries that have been dormant on both sides of the Victory Port channel for many years have never actually fired before. Many people always thought that they were just empty frames used to bluff people, but it was not until the war broke out that everyone realized that they were real.

A real killer.

After that, Haihan's opponents, both overt and covert, saw clearly the defense strength of the Sanya area, weighed their own weight, and had no choice but to give up the unrealistic idea of ​​attacking Sanya from the sea.

Tao Donglai has known Li Nai for many years, and of course he knew that his mention of this matter would not be without purpose, and he waited patiently for him to reveal the true purpose of today's visit. In fact, even if Li Nai didn't say it, he could roughly guess the purpose.

Divided.

Sure enough, Li Nai got to the point: "Never forget the past and prepare for the future, take the initiative to send troops to attack the hostile forces. I also believe that this move will help consolidate national defense and enhance our country's prestige. I just don't know what is needed for relevant actions and how to do it."

Let Furifeng also contribute to the country."

Tao Donglai smiled and said: "It's not easy to contribute to the country... Haihan Bank will soon issue South China Sea development bonds. The funds raised from this bond will be used for the next military operations. If you are determined,

Just subscribe for more in the name of Fulifeng."

Li Nai didn't expect that Tao Donglai was actually prepared. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Then if I hadn't mentioned this matter, would Master Shi also take the initiative to come to me?"

Tao Donglai said: "Your family is a famous patriotic businessman, he will definitely come to visit you!"

Li Nai is no stranger to the plan of bank issuance of bonds, because for the bonds issued by Haihan official over the years, the amount subscribed by Furifeng each time is not a small amount. So when Tao Dong came to mention the bonds, Li Nai reacted conditionedly,

Naturally, I thought that every time a bond was issued, Schneider would come out to greet Fulifeng and other financiers and ask them to subscribe enthusiastically.

Of course, this kind of subscription is not taken advantage of. In addition to the certain income from the bonds themselves, large donors like Fulifeng will also receive some additional benefits.

Li Nai also laughed: "For this patriotic businessman, the price is really expensive!"

There are more than a hundred members of the Li family. They were officially naturalized as Haihan citizens more than ten years ago. They are serious Haihan citizens. Therefore, Tao Donglai called him a "patriotic businessman", which is worthy of the name. But only Li Nai

I know that this title did not fall from the sky, but was earned through continuous efforts and money over the years.

Of course, after having such a shining title, the Li family and Furifeng have really benefited a lot. There are many trade projects involving the lifeline of the economy, or major projects led by the government, which require

Bidding was conducted, and the status of "patriotic businessman" was equivalent to an admission ticket, and the Li family also obtained many lucrative projects.

The more money you invest, the more trust you can get, and the rewards you receive will also increase. Li Nai's complaint that the price paid for the title is too expensive is actually just a joke. If Schneider's fundraising

If the target really skips Fu Ruifeng, then the first person to be anxious may be the Li family.

Joking aside, Li Nai quickly brought the topic back to business: "Buying bonds is no problem, the key is what kind of errands can be sent to Fulifeng in the future?"

Tao Donglai said: "After this operation, our country will have more ports overseas. How about letting Fulifeng become the first batch of designated traders?"

Usually after Haihan opens a new overseas colonial port, in order to ensure the stability of the local situation, the first batch of merchants allowed to go to the local area are usually designated by the government. In addition to normal trade activities, these merchants also need to provide services to local residents.

and provide logistical support to the garrison.

In order to ensure the stability of prices, the materials sold to the local area by merchants are generally purchased by the government, which often means that they can obtain generous and stable income from the local area for a period of time. Of course, the qualification of this designated trader is not that easy to obtain.

, the official will often only leave this kind of fat gap to merchants who know the basics to complete it.

Furifeng has a close relationship with Haihan's senior management, and has naturally received such tasks many times in the past. However, Li Nai was obviously not satisfied with such conditions, and bargained with Tao Donglai: "Since it is a new site, it must be far away

Hainan Island is also further away. If we are not familiar with the routes in the early days, the cargo freight will be much higher. Can we add some other conditions so that Furifeng can make some money?"

Tao Donglai smiled and said: "You make it sound like Fulifeng is going to do a loss-making business! Tell me, what else do you want?"

Li Nai changed the subject and said: "When I was in Guangzhou, I heard that General Qian's troops moved south from the north and are now stationed in Annan. If I guessed correctly, General Qian should also participate in the subsequent actions, right?

"

When Tao Dong came to see him, he took the initiative to mention Qian Tiandun and did not hide it: "In fact, the plan for this operation was proposed by Qian Tiandun. One of the reasons why he went south was to take the lead in implementing the operation."

Li Nai nodded and said: "With General Qian's ability, he will naturally be invincible and invincible when he leads an army to attack the vassals in the South China Sea. So I have a bold idea, can I let Fu Ruifeng take a free ship and serve as General Qian's leader?"

Logistics supplier for the troops?”

Tao Donglai asked curiously: "How can you have such an idea?"

Li Nai explained: "General Qian has been stationed in the north for twenty years. He probably has no foundation in the South China Sea. He probably can only rely on other troops to provide heavy logistics. This may not be a big problem if he is stationed somewhere, but if there is a war,

Well, if there is no specialized logistical support, General Qian’s performance may be restricted. It is better for Furifeng to send a fleet to follow and be responsible for providing logistical services to General Qian.”

Tao Donglai shook his head slightly and said: "I think you are not providing logistics, but are you planning to arrange someone to follow Qian Tiandun to brush up his resume?"
