Chapter 2269

After Andao Shi held his breath and crossed the finish line, his heart relaxed and his feet softened and he fell forward. Fortunately, although his mind was completely blank, he still subconsciously used the rifle in his hand to hold on, and reluctantly knelt down on one leg to stop.

He stopped falling. He lowered his head and slowly adjusted his disordered breathing before his mind gradually came to his senses. Then he heard applause from the stands.

Before An Daoshi understood what was happening, three other companions who participated in this project had already rushed over, helped him up from the ground, and told him in an extremely excited tone that he had won third place in this project.

"Third?" An Daoshi was shocked when he heard this result. Could it be that the two targets he was chasing so hard just now were the top two in this event? So speaking of that, he was just far away from the chance of winning the championship.

It was only a few feet, and this result was far beyond his own expectations.

However, even if Andao Shixuan reacted, he could achieve such results most likely because he saved a lot of time by crossing the racecourse on the way. It seems that although this choice was extremely risky at the time, the results were obvious.

In one fell swoop, they overtook the teams with the highest scores, and almost caught up with the top two teams who already had a huge advantage.

Even so, he still failed to overtake the leader at the last moment, which made him somewhat regretful. If he could win the championship in this event, it would also be a great honor for North Korea.

Now that he has won third place, Andoshi is still a little uneasy, wondering whether his boss will be satisfied with this.

An Daoshi did not notice that in the stands not far away, many people were congratulating the Joseon Crown Prince Li Zhi. Everyone originally thought that the outcome would be a competition between the two heroes, but they did not expect the North Korean team to be far behind in the first half of the race.

A surprise attack from the sky at the last moment almost changed the outcome that everyone expected.

Although they still failed to surpass the top two in the end, it somewhat added some variables to this somewhat dull project. It is reasonable for Xu Jiajun and Annan Army to compete for the championship, while the performance of the North Korean Army was an unexpected surprise.

People couldn't help but give a thumbs up and say great things to Li Xie. For a while, no one even cared about the results of the top two.

Li Zhi was also very surprised by this result. Of course, he was very clear about the strength of his men and the performance of the previous schedule. He never thought that there would be a chance to compete with the two traditional powers. Who would have expected that Andao Shi would sprint in the final

At this stage, he almost caught up with the top two, and his performance was indeed remarkable, far exceeding his expectations.

After Li Xie thanked several high-ranking Haihan officials for their congratulations, he immediately felt that he was very proud, and secretly thought that he would give these men some decent rewards later. Especially An Daoshi, who completed the last relay, his performance was

Li Zhen seemed to be perfect, and compared to the third place in the obstacle course in the morning, the third place in the afternoon was obviously more weighty and influential.

As the last members of each team returned to the finish line on the school field, the event finally came to an end, and the Army project competition in this competition also came to an end. To be honest, the several competition projects arranged today are very important.

For most of the live audience, it was not enjoyable enough. What they wanted to see more was a competition with a certain degree of confrontation, such as an arena match that tested fighting ability, or a troop formation that tested command ability.

However, due to various reasons, the Haihan military did not make such an arrangement. It arranged some projects whose significance can only be understood by insiders. Although it is less ornamental, it still compares with real combat skills, and it is more

It fits the combat style that Haihan is best at.

The traditional cold weapon combat skills and tactics have become weak and backward in the face of the hot weapon combat method currently promoted by Haihan. Face-to-face fighting has become less and less in the battle reports of Haihan Army. And Haihan

There is only one close combat technique that is widely promoted in the military, and that is bayonet fighting. However, this dangerous fighting technique is obviously not suitable for use in internal competitions.

Therefore, the competition events designed by the Haihan military are all considered from a perspective that is closer to actual combat, such as shooting, throwing grenades, quickly passing various obstacles, and emergency marches in the wild, etc. These trainees themselves are from the military of various countries.

Military attaches, after they master these combat skills, they can at least ensure that the soldiers they train in the future will also have corresponding combat effectiveness.

After all four events were completed, Xu Jiajun from Fujian won first place in the first and last events, ranking first among all teams, demonstrating their strength in the cross-country marching event. Annanjun won the

The first place in the shooting competition, coupled with their rankings in several other events, ranked second only to Xu Jiajun. The Fushan team from Shandong Province in the Ming Dynasty suddenly emerged, relying on Ma Hao's invincible performance in the grenade event.

Won the first place and ranked third.

This was the first time for the North Korean army to participate in such a competition, and their results were pretty decent. They got two third places in four events, which was more than enough. Although they did not achieve the goal required by Li Xie, they still

At that time, he deliberately raised the standard to stimulate the performance of his subordinates. Finally, he was able to achieve this result and ranking on the first day of the competition. Li Zhi had nothing to be picky about.

After all the competitions were over, Yan Chujie personally awarded special medals produced by the Ministry of National Defense for the competition to the winners of these events. For these foreign soldiers who came to Haihan to study for further studies, this can be said to be a great deal.

Glory.

When Yan Chujie awarded the medals, he said some words of encouragement to these people, to the effect that in addition to bringing back the military skills they learned in Haihan, they should not forget to continue to maintain military ties with Haihan in the future.

cooperate.

For Haihan, teaching military skills to these foreign students is just a means to maintain the relationship between the two parties. The real purpose is not only to make the other party's military system rely on Haihan, but also to let these people control the military power in the future.

After that, we can continue to maintain a sense of closeness to Haihan, so that Haihan's interests in these areas can be safely protected.

Through such competitions, Haihan can also discover some talents who are truly talented and worthy of spending more resources to win over. For example, Ma Hao, who suddenly appeared in the grenade project this time, has already been recruited by the military.

If you like him, you will talk to him later and persuade him to join the Haihan Army directly.

After the end of today's competition, the official did not arrange another dinner. This is not because Haihan is stingy, but also because each company must take this opportunity to make some arrangements and adjustments for tomorrow's naval competition so that it can fully

time to prepare.

Ordinary people immediately returned from the gate of the camp, and relevant personnel could apply to have dinner with subordinates participating in the competition in the base.

Su Keyi knew that he had nothing to do next, so he immediately stood up and said goodbye. After walking a few steps, he noticed that Fei Cexian, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, had also followed out quickly, and immediately asked: "Why don't you stay, Mr. Fei?"

Meet the various teams from Ming Dynasty?"

Fei Cexian knew that the other party was asking questions knowingly, and his immediate response was not in a good tone: "They are just a bunch of rebellious officials and traitors. I, Fei, represent the Ming Dynasty. How can I collude with them!"

Su Keyi was secretly amused when he heard this, and thought that Fei Xian was indeed a pedantic scholar. He could only talk about justice, but was not good at fighting for the interests of the Ming Dynasty in actual operations. He then began to persuade: "Master Fei, if I am not wrong in my calculation,

, there are five teams on the field today from the Ming Dynasty. No matter whether these people follow the instructions of your country or not, they are all from the Ming Dynasty after all, and Mr. Fei, you represent the Ming Dynasty. If you leave, wouldn't it be

Have you established the fact that Ming Dynasty abandoned them?"

Fei Cexian said: "Master Su, if I stay, some people will think that I am giving up my dignity to persuade these people to choose to serve the Ming Dynasty again. I personally have nothing to fear, but if Ming Dynasty is humiliated because of this, then that is not allowed.

for."

Su Keyi said: "Do they really dare not to take Master Fei seriously?"

Fei Cexian laughed at himself when he heard this: "Fei, the deputy of Si Zuosi who lives in the officialdom, is just a small seventh-grade official. How can he control them! The man Xu Yuxing who came to represent the Xu family probably also has an official position, and his official rank

He will be much higher than Fei. If a fight breaks out, Fei will just humiliate himself in the end."

Xu Yuxing did not come to Sanya under the banner of a Ming Dynasty official, and he took the initiative to ask Haihan officials not to introduce his identity and official position in diplomatic situations. Therefore, on this occasion, no one actually regarded Xu Yuxing as a Ming Dynasty official. Only Fei Cexian

I understand that Xu Yuxing, a nephew and descendant like Xu Xinsu who is highly valued by Xu Xinsu, can never be just an ordinary citizen. Even if it is to facilitate access to Fujian, he will be given a black gauze hat. And it is not easy to get a fifth-rank official position in Fujian.

It will not pose a problem to Xu Xinsu.

Therefore, although Fei Cexian was the only official representing the Ming Dynasty present, he was not necessarily the one with the highest official rank. If he jumped out to speak rashly and Xu Yuxing pointed out that his official rank was too low, it would be difficult to handle.

Of course, when Fei Cexian came to Haihan, he also brought a token symbolizing the authority of the imperial court, so that he could handle some matters that were too late to ask for instructions on behalf of the imperial court. When dealing with other Ming officials, he could also give instructions to them in the name of the imperial court. However, these seals

Such tokens are inconvenient to carry with you and are kept in the embassy for a long time. If you really wanted to argue with Xu Yuxing, would he have to go back to the embassy first to ask for the tokens?

As for the other teams participating in the name of non-governmental organizations, Fei Cexian estimates that his identity is even less of a deterrent. These people have obviously taken refuge in Haihan. How can they listen to the orders of the imperial court? He said that they are

There is nothing wrong with saying that he is a rebellious minister and a traitor.

Seeing that the provocation failed, Su Keyi changed the subject and asked: "Then will Mr. Fei come to watch the naval competition tomorrow?"

Fei Cexian said: "Look! Why don't you watch? Will Mr. Su give up the right to watch tomorrow because no team of his own is participating?"

Su Keyi smiled and said: "Of course not. It is a rare opportunity to have a glimpse of the military strength of various countries. It would be a pity to miss it."

Fei Cexian nodded and said: "This is exactly the reason. Haihan has now spent a lot of effort training troops for various countries, and his ambition must be quite big. Although our Ming Dynasty is not wary, we must be on guard against others. We must fight against others.

It’s better to have some understanding of its strength.”

Su Keyi said: "What Mr. Fei said is absolutely true. When Haihan fought overseas in recent years, he mostly dragged his allies to send troops together. This is an extremely dangerous signal. If one day Haihan joins forces with other countries to send troops to invade the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid

It is difficult for your country to respond effectively in a timely manner."

How could Fei Cexian not hear that Su Keyi's hypocritical worries were actually sowing discord, but what he said was indeed the truth. Haihan's troop dispatch area was getting larger and larger, with more and more allies, and the threat to Ming Dynasty was also increasing day by day.

.In fact, Ming Dynasty has always lacked sufficient understanding and attention to such an international situation, and has no effective countermeasures. It can only swallow its anger like Fei Cexian, and helplessly watch Haihan gradually become bigger and bigger day by day.

.

Fei Cexian said: "Then what is Mr. Su's advice?"

Su Keyi looked at no one behind him and lowered his voice and said: "Perhaps your country and our East India Company have the same interests, which can promote cross-regional cooperation between the two parties."

Fei Cexian looked sideways at Fei Cexian, then shook his head and said: "Batavia is too far away from the Ming Dynasty. You can provide too little help to the Ming Dynasty. Cooperation does not make much sense. The risk is not small. If anything happens,

If the news leaks out, do you think the Haihan people will miss the opportunity to attack Batavia?"

"This..." Fei Cexian's counter-general army made it difficult for Su Keyi to reply for a while. He really wanted to test Fei Cexian's attitude to see if there was a possibility of winning over the Ming Dynasty to cooperate, but the other party obviously had no interest in the East India Company.

He also saw the situation very clearly, and revealed the weakness of the Dutch in one sentence.

Can the city of Batavia withstand the full-scale attack of the Haihan Army? From Su Keyi's perspective, he believes that the hope is extremely slim. The Haihan Army has an overwhelming naval fleet. This alone is enough to completely blockade Batavia.

Yagang, so that the city loses the protection from armed ships at sea.

Thinking again, the city of Manila on Luzon Island failed to block the artillery fire of the Haihan army. If the city of Batavia was attacked by the Haihan army, the result would probably be disastrous.

Su Keyi had to admit that the risk mentioned by Fei Cexian did exist. A warlike country like Haihan, as long as it got a reasonable excuse, might start a war with any country that their fleet could reach.

The Netherlands is no exception. From this point of view, the risks involved in winning over Ming Dynasty cannot be ignored.
