Chapter 2717

For these young people who come from high-ranking families, they have known what the front page of Haihan Times means since they were young. Generally, only articles involving major current events and national policy orientation will appear on that limited page.

Their names are on the front page, which means that their personal careers have reached a new level. The various agreements reached during the mission's visits to North Korea and Japan, and all the benefits won for Haihan will be recorded.

In their resumes, they become political capital for future promotions.

Of course, these young people also know very well that this achievement is not entirely due to their own efforts, but the main reason is the care of their parents. It was Shi Diwen who visited Shi Chengwu and Wang Anguo in the name of a mission.

It was a tailor-made mission, but Tao Hongfang and others met it just in time. Shi Diwen was also happy to give their parents a favor and let them participate in this mission.

The fact that relevant reports about the mission appeared on the front page of the Times should be one of Victory Fort's responses to this. After all, Haihan has established diplomatic relations with many countries, and every year, ambassadors from various countries are sent to various countries under various names.

There are eight if not ten regiments, but not many of them can make the front page of the Times. Considering that the mission has not yet been completed, it is likely that there will be subsequent continuous reports appearing in the Times, which is also a problem for them.

Something worth looking forward to.

Zhu Zian can sympathize with the mentality of his companions. He came to Haihan as the prince's brother of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is not another special form of mission activity? It's just that he came to Haihan in his own name, so he couldn't

It was hoped that the Ming Dynasty regime, which was huddled in the Gyeonggi region and lingering on, could provide support to him abroad just as Haihan treated these young officials.

But he had indeed gained a lot along the way. He knew that if he had chosen to be a landlord in Jinan, he would never have had these unimaginable experiences. In the future, whether he returned to the area under the Ming Dynasty or stayed in

As Haihan develops, these experiences will become valuable assets.

Due to the long distance, only a few copies of the "Haihan Times" were sent to the Sasebo base. Two of them were sent to the mission. Zhu Zian had to wait for others to read them before he had the opportunity to read the contents carefully.

.

Zhu Zian knew very well that the honor of the mission did not belong to him, so after he hastily read the report about the mission, he quickly turned his attention to other news. What he wanted to read was not necessarily the news in Haihan.

News, but trying to find information related to the Ming Dynasty and Prince De's Palace.

This issue of the Times did not disappoint Zhu Zian. He quickly found a report related to Shandong on the front page - Chen Yixin, the governor of Haihan Northern Region, recently visited Jiaozhou Bay in the south of Laizhou Prefecture to attend the local

Groundbreaking ceremony for the first phase of the port.

As far as Zhu Zian knew, the local government organized the construction of a port during the Wanli period, which was called Qingdao Port. However, the scale of development was certainly not comparable to those large ports with dozens or hundreds of berths in areas under Haihan rule.

As for why Haihan fell in love with this place, Zhu Zian, who is familiar with the geography of Shandong, can roughly guess. After Jinan City was captured by the Qing army, the whole of Shandong was in chaos. At that time, Haihan used it to resist the Qing Dynasty.

The army dispatched troops from Dengzhou in the name of rescuing refugees, and quickly controlled all the transportation arteries entering the Jiaodong Peninsula from west to east.

Haihan then took this opportunity to gradually isolate the Ming Dynasty from control of the Jiaodong Peninsula and annexed most of the areas in Denglai and Denglai states. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was plagued by internal and external troubles and suffered from natural disasters for many years, and it was simply unable to stop Haihan.

Actions were taken, and there was no spare effort to take back these areas from the hands of the Haihan. They could only watch the Jiaodong Peninsula, like Liaodong, being gradually eaten away by the Haihan.

However, after taking control of the Jiaodong Peninsula, Haihan still has many problems that need to be solved. One of them is that Haihan's garrison and shipping are concentrated in Fushan County, Dengzhou Prefecture, which has been operating for many years. The control of the southern part of the Jiaodong Peninsula mainly needs to be through

It has become a top priority to implement it by land, open new ports in the southern region, and realize rapid delivery of troops and materials by sea. And Qingdao Port, which has superior natural conditions, was unsurprisingly requisitioned by Haihan.

In the next few years, the Haihan Northern Region focused its energy mainly on Liaodong. The situation in Shandong was relatively peaceful, and the port facilities at Qingdao Port were barely usable. However, last year both the Ming and Qing Dynasties successively surrendered.

Therefore, Chen Yixin decided to expand and transform Qingdao Port. While increasing the scale of shipping, it would also become another garrison for the Haihan Northern Fleet.

The Times clearly stated that taking into account changes in the objective environment, the military functions of Dengzhou Zhifu Port will gradually decrease in the future, and the Northern Fleet will adjust its garrison deployment, using Lushun Port and the newly built Qingdao Port as its main garrison bases.

It is not difficult for Zhu Zian to make such an adjustment. He has been to Zhifu Port, and the port conditions there are not necessarily that good, at least compared to the Port Arthur, Zhoushan Port, and Sasebo Port he visited later.

There are obvious differences in conditions in all aspects between places. Haihan would choose Zhifu Port to settle down at that time, mainly to facilitate the expansion of territory in the direction of Liaodong and to control the Bohai Bay and the northern waters of the Yellow Sea at the same time.

But now the external environment has changed drastically. After Haihan freed up his hands in the north, he no longer needed to reluctantly use the poor conditions of Zhifu Port. It was time to find a natural port like Jiaozhou Bay to station the naval fleet.

However, this report did not devote much space to the Jinan area where Prince De's Mansion is located. It only mentioned that nearly 10,000 migrant workers had been recruited for the port reconstruction and expansion project. Their sources were all over Shandong, including Jinan Prefecture.

The first phase of the project is expected to last two years. After completion, not only will the Haihan Navy be stationed there, but it will also become the largest operating trading port in Shandong. As for subsequent plans, the report did not mention it.

Although this report has no direct relationship with Prince De's Palace, Zhu Zian is very pleased to see the news from Shandong. You must know that at this time, he is in a foreign country more than two thousand miles away from Jinan Palace, and he can get

News about my hometown is extremely hard to come by.

And Zhu Zian believes that this news at least explains a few things. First, the situation in the Jiaodong Peninsula is stable and there will be no risk of war. Otherwise, Haihan would not launch such a large-scale long-term project. Second, Haihan should be quite optimistic.

Shandong's development potential will lead to huge investment in building ports. This is tantamount to seeing the dawn of hope for the people of Shandong who have been ravaged by various natural and man-made disasters in the past ten years.
