Chapter 3200
It was not only the enthusiastic people around the square who were delighted during the presentation of the prisoners, but also the senior officials of Haihan in the viewing stand who were also smiling.
Haihan's annual military expenditures are astronomical, and they have maintained a trend of increasing year by year. The purpose of such a huge continuous investment is simply to ensure that Haihan's military is still in office.
beer
In addition to written battle reports, this is probably the best way for senior officials to intuitively feel the joy of victory.
"Old Xiao's troops in Leg Didong are quite capable!" Yan Chujie did not hesitate to praise Xiao Liang, commander of the Luzon Region garrison.
When the Luzon Region proposed an action plan to the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense last year, Yan Chujie would not support the side that started the war. It would be an honor for him that Luzon's troops could deliver such results.
Tao Donglai said: "Old Xiao will not come next year and miss such a grand ceremony!"
Yan Chujie smiled and said: "Old Xiao is not here, but he sent Xiao Xiao here. The officer who raised the flag is Lao Xiao's son Xiao Zhengyang, who is currently serving in the South China Sea Fleet. The Spanish Governor of Cebu, Vidal, is him
Caught by leading the team."
There will be too many second-generation military officers participating in tomorrow's military parade. Among the Luzon Region's troops alone are Feng Xingbang and Xiao Zhengyang.
Over time, those well-educated young people who were born in generals will gradually take over military power and become military generals.
In order to ensure that those young officers will not be good at talking about military affairs, they must be provided with sufficient practical opportunities so that they can accumulate experience through real combat.
With more combat opportunities, talented commanders will naturally stand out gradually. If they are mistakenly entrusted with important tasks, the risk of handing over military power to the Eastern Generation will be greatly reduced.
Of course, in that process, some forces will inevitably become sacrifices for their training. Judging from the current situation, Spain is undoubtedly playing the role of taking advantage of them.
It was not only the Luzon region that presented Spanish prisoners of war as a military parade tribute, but the North American Expeditionary Force from across the ocean also presented the same results.
Haihan Foreign Language’s misconceptions about the North American Expeditionary Force almost all came from a few reports in several official newspapers. It was known that the commander of the North American Expeditionary Force was former Navy Commander Tom Wang, but he misunderstood that the force was a nuclear expeditionary force.
In a strange continent thousands of miles away, very few people know what the local environment is like.
The expeditionary force returning home this time not only brought good news, but also had many prisoners of war as evidence. The people also learned from this that the Spaniards were everywhere. The expeditionary force had traveled so far, and the illusion of war was not there.
No them.
Only the senior officials of the Executive Committee truly understand the far-reaching significance of Red King Tom's expansion of territory in North America.
Although the Spaniards arrived early, their ability to build a colony was obviously far inferior to that of Haihan. After Wang Tom controlled two natural harbors on the west coast of North America, he had basically established a firm foothold.
Controlling the west coast of North America means that Haihan is bringing the Pacific into his own sphere of influence and truly begins to compete with Western countries for territory on a global scale.
Seeing the Haihan Army from North America appear on the scene, Simang and Thomas's expressions turned gloomy again.
The Portuguese arrived on the west coast of North America much earlier than the Haihan people, but due to objective conditions and the constant interference from the Spanish, they were unable to establish a colony there.
However, the Haihan people quietly sent an armed fleet there, not only establishing a colony there, but also sweeping the southeastern colonial port that Spain had operated nearby for two generations. With such achievements, how could the Portuguese
Don't be jealous.
Of course, they couldn't help feeling a little lucky that they would die because of their jealousy.
A considerable part of Spain's overseas income comes from colonial silver mines in North America. The silver coins produced in Mexico and bearing the portrait of King Carlos IV of Spain and the royal coat of arms have played an important role in Spain's international trade in Asia over the past two hundred years.
The main source of money is sought.
Even Haihan's treasury still has a lot of Spanish silver dollars flowing in through various trade channels.
The Portuguese believe that since Haihan has extended its reach to North America, with their usual behavior and long-term feud with Spain, they will definitely not let go of Spain's local financial resources. The silver mines in Mexico changed hands.
, it seems that it is not a matter of time.
If Heihan's actions in North America are bigger, enough to cause Spain's overseas income to drop a lot, then the competitive pressure faced by Portugal will also be greatly alleviated.
If Portugal is unable to step in, they must choose a master for the west coast of North America. If it is the lesser of two evils, Simao and Thomas would rather let Haihan win. Then at least Portugal will have a chance to ride on the wind.
ships, and set up trading establishments such as merchant houses in the Haihan colony.
Wang Anbang was only twenty years old, and his exposure to information was limited. He was not very aware of the influence that the North American colonies had on changes in the international situation. But at this time, he could truly feel the enthusiasm of foreign people for the North American region.
It is not affected by long distances, no less than other overseas regions.
The public's interest in those Spanish prisoners of war was even greater than that of the expeditionary force. After all, the living results of the war were definitely more impactful than those boring written battle reports.
Wang Anbang felt that more prisoners of war should have been brought back to China for display during that trip, which might have won more public support.
Of course, there may be other ways to make up for the regret of Yidong, such as holding a two-day prisoner of war display by the West Lake, and by the way, on-site publicity of the achievements of the Yidong Expeditionary Force and North America's preferential immigration policies, maybe it can attract some North Americans.
interested public.
The more Wang Anbang thought about it, the more feasible it became, and he immediately decided to make arrangements to go east as soon as the military parade was over and put it into practice.
After the troops from each overseas region have appeared, the only ones who appeared before were the troops from Hainan Island, that is, the foreign defense troops who came to Hangzhou with the Executive Committee.
After looking at the performance of different arms in various regions, the Foreign Guards seems a bit mediocre. But those who understand the nature of that force know that almost all the members of the Foreign Guards are carefully selected.
Elite.
The selection criteria not only required excellent military qualities, but also required a good family background and naturalization of Haihan for more than 20 years. Therefore, almost all of these soldiers were early naturalized citizens who received Haihan nationality at birth and received Haihan education since childhood.
and ideological indoctrination. When you grow up, you will naturally be loyal to the executive committee. It is not an exaggeration to even call those people dead soldiers.
