Chapter 408 Deep Cooperation

In fact, it is not just bystanders like Li Nai who have this question. There have always been different voices within the time traveling group regarding how to deal with the relationship with the Annan court. At the beginning of the time traveling, there were questions about whether Annan should be developed into a slave state or directly annexed.

, there had been some internal debate, and this debate has not been completely subsided until now.

Some people think that they should use the various black technology cheats they have in their hands to annex Annan as quickly as possible, because compared to the Ming Dynasty, which is strong and vast in territory, Annan is obviously a "soft persimmon" closest to the location of the Time Travel Group.

, this country does not even have an independent language, and the people's sense of belonging to the national identity is relatively weak. It is definitely much easier to rule than to annex the areas under the Ming Dynasty. After annexing this country, it can be quickly

Obtaining population, land, various production resources and strategic depth can allow the time-traveling regime to gain an explosive growth in strength.

However, the attitude of the Executive Committee is still biased towards a prudent approach. It believes that with the current strength, it is a bit unrealistic to achieve the annexation and rule of Annan in the short term. The north and south ends of Annan are more than 1,000 kilometers apart. Regardless of

Whether it is civil administration or military defense, with the current situation of Haihan, it is impossible to achieve complete rule over such a large area. Moreover, Annan is a country that typically takes soft rather than hard, unlike the two powerful empires of Yuan and Ming.

They have fought with real swords and guns. If Haihan wants to annex the country by force, it will inevitably arouse strong resistance.

Although the Executive Committee believes that the combat effectiveness of the militia will not be lost to the Monkey Soldiers on the Indochina Peninsula, after all, there are only a few thousand people under their command. If they are concentrated in one place, they will inevitably not be able to take care of both ends. If the troops are dispersed, they will not be able to exert the power of group operations.

At that time, it is very likely that the tragedy of a certain lighthouse country falling into a quagmire of security war in the Middle East in another time and space will be repeated. No matter how the people who do not know the truth clamor for the law, the Executive Committee still has a relatively clear understanding of its own strength.

Each large-scale military operation against Annan required several months or even half a year of preparation before the operation. The troops would withdraw immediately after completing the set goals. And this was just a local war. If it really wanted to fight a protracted war to destroy the country, the sea would be

The Han militia does not yet have such strong strength.

Taking Hue as an example, although the militia took just one month to destroy this large city known as Annam's most powerful city and took away the foundation of the Nguyen family court in South Vietnam, they basically used up the previous few

It took months to prepare combat supplies. The militia army made a lot of money in Hue City, but if they want to continue fighting this war, they still need time to convert the captured real money into food.

Weapons and ammunition will do.

Victory on the battlefield does not mean complete conquest. Siege and rule are two completely different things. With the size of Hue City, if we want to rule according to the model of Victory Port, in addition to stationing at least two thousand people here,

To maintain daily security and external defense, a militia army composed of around 100,000 people must be mobilized, and a team of at least two to three hundred naturalized civilian cadres must be mobilized to manage tens of thousands of people in Hue and even surrounding areas. Obviously the human resources department

There are not so many personnel reserves available, and the use of unidentified leading parties or surrenders on a large scale in the local area is also not safe enough in the opinion of the Executive Committee.

Although it holds Zenith Star technology that transcends the times, whether it is material supply capabilities or management personnel reserves, the current strength of Haihan is far from enough to annex a country like Annan, and even directly in the foreseeable years.

The possibility of annexing Annan is not great - one day Haihan has the strength to establish a real ruling area outside Hainan Island, and the first choice target will definitely still be the mainland with the same roots and species, not Annan.

Regarding Annan, the Executive Committee's attitude is still to adhere to the current approach, infiltrating him through various channels from political, economic, military, cultural and other aspects and gradually establishing influence, so that the ruling class can maintain sufficient respect for Haihan.

and dependence, and gradually created the tall image of Haihan as the "Celestial Kingdom" in the minds of its people. Of course, there are quite a lot of measures to be used in this process, and the complexity is even far more than preparing for a war, and implementing it

It is also a long-term task that takes many years and cannot be accomplished overnight.

Schneider did not discuss the Executive Committee's strategy in detail, but just mentioned a few key points casually. Li Nai and Ruan Jinggui are both shrewd people. After drawing inferences from one example, they naturally understood the magnitude of the Executive Committee's plan. Although Ruan Jinggui

There was no change in their expressions, but their hearts were already churning - although Haihan had no intention of annexing Annan, they wanted far more than just Annan!

"Since the Executive Committee has no more ideas about Annan, the more this weapon is sold, the more dependent Annan will be on Haihan!" Li Nai quickly figured out why Haihan was still increasing his support for Haihan.

Annan’s intensity in exporting weapons.

Schneider nodded and said: "Annanguo imitated our Haihan's military system to establish a new army, and it was also equipped with our Haihan's weapons. All officers of the new army must receive training at the military academy run by our Haihan, and learn combat skills.

At the same time, they are also accepting the various consciousnesses we have instilled in them. Annan does not have the ability to produce weapons on its own. As long as we cut off the supply of weapons, the combat effectiveness of Annan's new army will be greatly reduced. They want to spend huge sums of money

Purchasing our arms will make them more dependent on us in economics and trade, and we can also use this as an exchange to make more demands on them, such as opening treaty ports, granting extraterritorial rights to Haihan nationals, etc.

.In short, as long as we open an opening, we have many ways to slowly turn Annan into an obedient assistant."

After all, Ruan Jinggui was from Annan. After hearing Schneider's argument, he was still a little dissatisfied, so he couldn't help but retort: ​​"When the Annan Kingdom was at its peak, it fought with the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Although it was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, it finally won.

It is true that Haihan’s weapons are powerful, but the Annan Army, which was not equipped with these weapons, did not achieve the same results? If the Executive Committee thinks that it can control Annan’s army in this way, is it too much?”

Schneider smiled and said: "There should be quite a few people in Annan who hold your kind of thoughts, but it doesn't matter. Time will prove who of us is right and who is wrong. There is another thing you may have overlooked. People like Annan

For a country with a long coastline and all its major cities in coastal areas, if it does not have a strong navy, it should never think about any plans to establish its own business!"

Schneider's reminder made Ruan Jinggui suddenly enlightened, and he immediately figured out the true plan of the Haihan people. The strongholds established by the Haihan people in Annan, including the four southern ports that have not yet been implemented, are all on the coastline, and the Annan Army

The weakest force on the side is the surface force. The navy in the South Vietnam area has almost been wiped out by the Haihan warships. The naval prisoners, especially the commanders, were all transported to Sanya as debts. The North Vietnam area was slightly

A little better, at least there are still some troop transports and cargo ships available, but compared with the professional heavy artillery warships of the Haihan people, North Vietnam's so-called naval warships are actually not fundamentally different from ordinary civilian ships. In the Haihan people's artillery

In front of me are just piles of rotten wood floating on the water.

Among the military assistance and cooperation projects to Annan, most of them are aimed at the army. There is only one project related to the navy, which is the sale of "exploration-class" warships. However, Thang Long Palace now simply spends

If you don't have such a large amount of money to buy warships from the Haihan people, even if you bite the bullet and cut your kidneys to buy it, you still can't afford such a costly surface force - just the warships need to be repaired and maintained at the Victory Port Shipyard every year.

The time and cost are enough to make the senior officials of Shenglong Palace give up the idea of ​​purchasing.

In the foreseeable period of time, Annan probably has no hope of establishing a truly powerful navy of its own. However, under the deliberate operation of the Haihan Executive Committee, Annan's future military development path is likely to change.

This is a strange lame phenomenon, that is, there is only an army and no navy, and the entire Annan coastline must be handed over to Haihan, an ally, for protection and defense. In this way, even if Annan's army can be incredibly strong in the future, there is nothing that can be done

It poses a substantial threat to the mobile and flexible Haihan Navy. On the contrary, numerous Annan coastal towns will always be within the attack range of the Haihan Navy.

Due to the huge gap between the two sides in many aspects such as shipbuilding, weapons manufacturing, and maritime operations, coupled with the targeted arrangements of the Shanghai-Han Executive Committee, Annan has almost no possibility of turning around in this field. In the future, maritime security must be ensured

The only choice is to enter Haihan's camp. And this camp is not limited to the scope of military cooperation. It must be in step with Haihan in all aspects such as politics, economy, culture, etc., and then establish a team composed of Haihan

A dominant community of interests with strong relationships - this degree is probably completely beyond Li Nai and Ruan Chenggui's understanding of alliance relationships. After all, their vision is limited by this era, and they have no specific concept of what integration is.

Their inability to fully understand did not hinder their admiration for the Executive Committee's far-sightedness. Ruan Jinggui couldn't help but sigh: "I once heard that the winner is the one who wins before the battle; the winner before the battle is the winner.

The one who cannot win must be considered a small number. Now I finally understand why Haihan can control thousands of miles of territory in Annan with a small number of elite troops. The executive committee is really unrivaled in its calculations!"

Li Nai also praised: "With the strategy of the Executive Committee, even if those in the Annan court want to break their heads, I am afraid they will not be able to find a way to break it! Brilliant, indeed brilliant!"

After discussing this topic, Schneider took the briefcase, opened it and took out a stack of documents and handed it to Li Nai: "These are the entrusted training agreements for the personnel arriving in Hong Kong this month. Can you sign them if there are no problems?"

"

Li Nai flipped through two pages at random, raised his head and asked, "Are they all from my Lijiazhuang?"

"That's no nonsense, can someone else let you sign?" Schneider scolded with a smile.

"Then I don't have to read them one by one." Li Nai took out a signature pen from his arms, leaned over and started to sign his name on each page of the stack of documents. This signature pen is still

After he signed the cooperation agreement with the executive committee, Tao Donglai gave him a small gift. In order to be able to use this exquisite pen with the correct posture, Li Nai also asked Ning Qi how to hold the pen. Of course,

He was also told that the number of words this pen could write was limited, so apart from signing some documents, Li Nai basically would not use this rare gadget in his daily life.

After nearly two years of cooperation, the cooperation projects between Haihan and the Li family have extended beyond the initial stage of trade and military. In addition to setting up permanent offices on each other's territory, both parties have also carried out more in-depth cooperation.

For example, since last year, the Li family has been sending people to Sanya on a regular basis to study certain training courses offered by Haihan.

These training courses are not cultural literacy classes for school-age children, nor are they military content for training armed personnel, but some highly professional courses, such as financial and accounting courses. This is because "Furuifeng" branches are becoming more and more

Bank notes issued by Haihan Bank are used in many places, but the accountants often do not know how to identify and use Haihan bank notes. In order to solve this problem, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce jointly organized a class, which not only faced

"Furuifeng" is recruiting students, and other businesses that are willing to participate can send their own people to sign up.

Similar courses include medical, agronomy, logistics, sales and other majors. All registrations are voluntary. Although the training fees are expensive, the enrollment situation is very good. In the first training class in the first half of last year, each major only had

Only a few foreign students have enrolled, and now there are more than 20 students from the Li family who have signed up for the next training. It is estimated that the number of foreign students in this training class will eventually exceed 200, and even the Portuguese

I signed up for two places in the financial accounting class because the two parties have agreed to set up a Haihan Bank branch in Macau in the near future.

At first, the outside world did not pay much attention to these training courses. The bosses focused on the production skills that took several years to train, but soon they discovered the benefits and necessity of these short-term courses - if they wanted to learn from overseas

When the Han people expand their business scale, they must have someone under them who understands the rules of the game set by the Han people.

For example, when organizing immigration for the Haihan people, rebates were available per capita in the past. However, with the expansion of the scale of immigration, the requirements for the physical condition of immigrants have gradually become stricter, including physical disabilities that affect their ability to work, and various infectious diseases.

, people who are seriously ill will be refused admission by Haihan. In order to adapt to the new rules, several larger operators simply hired doctors themselves and sent them to Sanya for short-term training. In the future, they will organize immigration

When necessary, we should first eliminate unsuitable personnel.

Some businesses that export agricultural products to Haihan are now gradually accepting the new rules formulated by the Ministry of Agriculture of Haihan. All agricultural products must be graded and priced, and live poultry and livestock must also undergo quarantine. The big bosses of these things

Naturally, they don't bother to learn and don't have the time to learn. It's easier to spend some money to send their subordinates to Sanya for training.

As for the training courses in logistics, sales, finance and other aspects, there is no need to go into details. If foreign merchants want to seamlessly connect with Haihan trade model, these projects must follow the rules set by Haihan people. These

There is no compulsory registration for the course, but all the cooperating merchants understand that if they do not participate, they will sooner or later be excluded from the trade circle with Haihan as the leading force, and this is definitely the case for everyone working with Haihan.

This is a situation that no boss who has tasted the sweetness of the trade wants to see.

As the veteran partner with Haihan for the longest time, the deepest degree of cooperation, and the largest scope of cooperation, the people selected by the Li family to participate in the training courses in Sanya have almost filled up all the majors for external enrollment, even the "geological exploration"

The Li family didn't care enough to sign up for a new course they didn't know why - a major that seems useless now might come in handy in the future.

Although it was quite expensive to send these students to Sanya for further study, with the tuition fees alone costing two to three thousand taels, the Li family did not feel distressed at all. Considering the scale of business cooperation between the two parties, this amount of money was really worth it.

It was just a drizzle. In the face of the business miracles created by the Haihan people and the strong armed support, everyone in the Li family had been brainwashed thoroughly, and they were determined to follow the executive committee. To put it more seriously,

, if Schneider now said that Haihan was going to start selling cow dung, Li Nai would probably not hesitate to pay for a few ships first.

While Li Nai was signing the agreement one by one, Schneider briefly explained to Ruan Jinggui the situation related to professional training. After hearing this, Ruan Jinggui couldn't help but ask: "Are there any students from Annan Kingdom here to receive training?"

Training?”

"Of course there is." Schneider didn't mean to hide this: "Last year, we set up an office of Haihan Bank in Tushan Port, not far from Thang Long Province, and have already started to operate in the ruling area of ​​Thang Long Province.

Promote banknote transactions to facilitate trade settlement between both parties. To this end, we have been training professionals in finance, logistics, commerce and other fields for Thang Long Province. There should be twenty or thirty students here now."

Thang Long Province in the north was ahead of Hue Province in everything. It is no wonder that the northern court had the last laugh in the dispute between the north and the south. After Ruan Xinggui confirmed this fact, he also had a deeper understanding of the failure of Hue Province.

When the city was destroyed, Ruan Thanh Kui had the same idea as most people in the city, believing that Hue's failure was simply because its armed forces were inferior to the Hai Han militia. However, as his understanding of Hai Han's strength deepened, he discovered that his original

The idea is indeed a bit one-sided.
