Chapter 410 Arms Trade Trends

Starting to build a police academy now and then recruiting external students for training is certainly one of the ways to solve the gap in the police force. However, this method has an obvious flaw: the cycle is too long, and it may take several months to see actual results.

The current security situation obviously cannot leave the Ministry of Justice too much time.

Of course, Ren Liang also proposed another faster solution, which is to recruit people from relevant departments and immigrants with similar work experience, and train them while on the job, so as to shorten the personnel training time.

As a violent organization under the Executive Committee, the "relevant department" with similar attributes is naturally the military. However, it is easy for the military to poach the Ministry of Justice, but it is difficult for the Ministry of Justice to poach them back. Yan Chujie's attitude is very clear

, there are still considerable manpower gaps in several planned overseas strongholds, and the Military Commission is planning a new round of recruitment plans. If personnel are allocated to the Ministry of Justice at this juncture, it will not be an expansion but a disarmament.

Later, under the coordination of Tao Donglai, the Military Commission chose a more compromise approach, that is, to allow some personnel who had served for more than one year and were injured in previous battles to be discharged and transferred to the Ministry of Justice. These people were injured due to their injuries.

Due to circumstances, although they are no longer suitable for setting foot on the battlefield, if they have a certain degree of military literacy and discipline, they are still relatively competent to switch to security work. The threshold set by the Ministry of Justice for such personnel is also very low.

As long as you have a clear mind and the ability to work independently, there are no hard requirements for physical disability. Those with lower limb injuries can work as housekeepers, and those with upper limb injuries can work as janitors in some institutions. In short, as long as you are not paralyzed in bed, you can be assigned a job.

This also shows how large the staff gap in the Ministry of Justice is.

This arrangement is easier for the military to accept, which not only reduces their personnel burden, but also leaves a good reputation among the people who join the army - those who were injured fighting for the Executive Committee, at least

There is also the escape route of entering the public gate, so we won't just give him some material rewards after the war and then just give up.

In addition, it is also a more convenient way to select experienced immigrants from among immigrants to enter the Ministry of Justice. In fact, this method has been adopted since last year. Many immigrants who come to Haihan have worked in the public sector.

People who have had bad jobs in the past, and these people often have some experience in public security management and even criminal investigation, and they get started quickly after joining the job. They are always people the Police Department is willing to accept.

Yu Zhen, the captain of the Sanya Port Police Squadron, used to be a police officer in Yazhou Yamen. After being persuaded by the patrol inspector Wei Ping, he joined Haihan and then joined the police force. In just over half a year, he was promoted from a trainee police officer to a squadron leader.

Of course, a large part of the reason why Yushui was promoted so quickly is because the police force does not have many professional talents. Most of the police officers are novices who have put down their hoes and picked up batons. The performance of experienced people like Yuzhen will be very good among them.

Highlight it quickly.

The situation of Ruan Wenwen was a little different. Although he was born in the military, because he was a demoted general, it was unlikely that he would join the militia army in the short term. Therefore, the military finally failed to win over Ren Liang and asked him to take Ruan Wenwen together with other

A group of low-level military officers from the South Vietnamese troops were taken over. However, none of the limited South Vietnamese navy prisoners were released from soldiers to generals. The military planned to keep these people for themselves and use them to enrich the not-yet-mature soldiers after screening.

Haihan Navy.

Although Ruan Wenwen was born into a noble family, his ability to serve as a general in the city defense army was not entirely due to his family background. He still had some real abilities. His family had trained him in martial arts since he was a child, and he was equipped with weapons such as swords and guns.

They all started practicing before they were ten years old. They also fought on the battlefield against North Vietnam and achieved military exploits. They were completely different from the dandy boys who looked like they were wearing embroidered pillows.

Judging from the average physical condition of Annan people, Ruan Wenwen is relatively tall and strong, and he passed the basic physical examination and some simple physical fitness tests easily. After passing the first two tests, most people can join the job.

The physical test ends here. However, people like Ruan Wenwen whose personal files are marked as "experienced in martial arts practice" will have to add an additional test.

Ren Liang specially applied to the Military Commission for a class of Haihan militiamen to serve as simulated law enforcement targets for these candidates. Of course, if you want to make these law enforcement targets obey the law, the candidates must use their own skills.

Although it is just a mock exam, the military does not want to be looked down upon by the Police Department. The people sent here are all "veterans" who joined the army in 1627. They have practiced catching enemies and have actual combat experience on the battlefield. Ordinary

It will definitely be difficult for the police to gain favor from them.

Although this batch of candidates all have experience in martial arts, not everyone has rich experience in fighting. As soon as they start fighting, they are often subdued or knocked down by the militiamen. Several examiners are stunned.

He shook his head repeatedly.

Ruan Wenwen's performance is obviously the best among this group of people. The militiamen who faced him were quickly defeated in the unarmed battle. Ren Liang ordered another person to go up, but still lost to Ruan Wenwen. Seeing such a single

In a one-on-one competition, the militiamen were probably no match for the South Vietnamese general. Ren Liang simply stopped the competition and asked Ruan Wenwen what other skills he could show.

Ruan Wenwen also knew that it was time to fight for his own future, so he immediately asked for a wooden stick, and then performed a set of stick techniques. Although it was not a famous trick, it looked decent, and he knew at a glance what he should do.

It took many years of hard work. After a discussion among several examiners, Ruan Wenwen was included in the establishment of the riot brigade.

"Is this anti-riot brigade a team to prevent mobs?" Ruan Jinggui couldn't help but ask after hearing what he said.

Ruan Wenwen responded proudly: "Brother, I specifically asked the chief for advice on this. This riot brigade is the police force that handles riots and other major incidents. It has a heavy responsibility and a bright future!"

Ruan Jinggui said: "However, under the governance of the Executive Committee, the Sanya area has always been governed by a unified government and has never heard of riots. It may be true that the responsibility is heavy, but if there is no opportunity to perform, it is hard to say that the future is bright!"

"Brother, you don't know something now." Ruan Wenwen explained: "The chief said that when encountering more difficult problems before, the police department always asked the vigilante group to borrow people. Not to mention the troublesome procedures, in the end most of the credit was given to them.

Vigilante groups. In the future, with this anti-riot brigade, many matters can be handled by the Ministry of Justice itself, and opportunities for meritorious deeds will naturally be inevitable."

"If that's the case, that would be the best..." Just as Ruan Jinggui was about to continue asking, he heard a faint sound of bells coming from outside. It must have been dinner time.

The two brothers immediately stopped talking and hurriedly packed up and went out to have dinner. It was not that they were thinking about the cram school in the evening, but that they had lived in the isolation camp for many days and had no fat in their stomachs. Now they no longer need to eat in isolation.

In order to prepare a light meal, it is natural to replenish it quickly.

Naturally, they were not happy to go to the collective canteen, so they immediately found a restaurant near Landscape Avenue and ordered a table of delicious dishes. However, the price of the meal really made them feel uncomfortable. The two of them actually ate it in one meal.

They paid more than 30 yuan, which was more than their combined monthly salary after joining the company.

Ruan Jinggui was still talking about the price with the store, but unexpectedly he was scolded by the store: "My guest, you are not an ordinary person in your dress and conversation. How come you don't know the market in Victory Port! The dish you two just ordered,

The cows were shipped from Annan, the chickens and ducks were shipped from Guangzhou, and the seafood, which is a little closer, was also sent from Lingshui County, a hundred miles away. Some of the spices for cooking are from the West.

Maritime merchants trafficked it from places thousands of miles away in the south. How do you think the price of this table of food is so low?"

Ruan Wenwen said: "Boss, please don't lie to me. This cow is just fine. You said that there are no chickens and ducks locally and they need to be shipped from Guangzhou, but I don't believe it!"

"Of course there are local ones! There are several farms across the Tiandu River, with at least thousands of chickens and ducks, but the Ministry of Agriculture doesn't sell them outside! Chief Haihan has hundreds of people, how much meat does he need to eat every day?

You can find any restaurant on this scenic avenue and ask if the chickens and ducks used are brought from other places." The store owner refuted Ruan Wenwen's doubts unceremoniously.

"Forget it, there's no need to argue, I'll just pay for it!" Ruan Jinggui saw that someone had begun to notice his table, so he didn't want to argue with the store anymore, so he took out the circulation coupons from his pocket and counted them.

Paid it to the store.

The two of them ate very comfortably, but after they came out, they couldn't help but feel a little worried about the expense. In the past, this meal cost more than thirty taels of silver, which was a big expense for them, not to mention

Things are not as good as they used to be. Both their family property and income are far lower than before. With such a level of consumption, it will take only a few days for them to drain out what little family property they have left.

"Brother, let's continue eating in the collective cafeteria starting tomorrow!" Ruan Jinggui touched his bulging belly, sighed and suggested to Ruan Wenwen.

Of course, Ruan Wenwen was also very aware of his family's situation, so he could only nod helplessly.

The Ruan brothers saw that it was almost time, so they went to Shengli Port Primary School located at the foot of the mountain. There is a night school training class specifically for new immigrants. They must receive a period of professional training at the beginning of their employment.

That's it. Ruan Wenwen finally saw the "electric light" that his brother had mentioned here, so that he almost didn't listen to the class at all that night, and kept looking at the LED lights on the ceiling in a daze.

Since the curfew in the Victory Port area starts at eight o'clock in the evening, the evening classes are not long. Generally, only two half-hour classes are arranged every day. After the two brothers finished the class, they went straight back to their residence to rest.

Compared with Ruan Wenwen's schedule, Ruan Jinggui is obviously much busier. On the one hand, he has to continue his internship at the Ministry of Commerce, and on the other hand, he has to go through the relevant procedures for dormitory application. In addition, his old friend Wu Sen, who was imprisoned in a hard labor camp, also

We must try to find a way to plead for mercy as soon as possible, otherwise in a few days, this guy might be dragged out and beheaded by the Haihan people because of his too strong temper.

Ruan Jinggui took the opportunity to tell Schneider what he was worried about the next day. Schneider was quite patient. After listening to what he said, he made a few phone calls to arrange related matters for him. Although Ruan Jinggui didn't quite understand why Schneider wanted to take the money.

He was talking to himself with a small black box, but what he heard Schneider said was related to his affairs. He didn't dare to ask questions at the moment, but just stood aside and waited quietly for Schneider to finish the call.

"There is no problem with the dormitory you applied for. You can go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to get the key later and everything has been arranged." Schneider first gave Ruan Jinggui good news, and then changed the subject: "But the Wu Sen you are talking about seems to be in some trouble.

, I have an appointment with Mr. Yan for lunch at noon, you can go with me then and say something nice to Mr. Yan yourself!"

Since "Haihan Military Industry" began to take charge of foreign arms trade, the Ministry of Commerce and the military have become very close. The heads of the two departments often gather together to discuss the recent arms sales and the next stage.

Sales strategy. Today's work dinner was no exception. The reason why Schneider and Yan Chujie met was to discuss the next arms sales strategy to Fujian.

After Haihan began to implement military support for the Fujian Xu Xinsu Group, Xu Xinsu's passive situation, which was originally oppressed by the "Eighteen Zhi", gradually improved. Xu Xinsu, who was originally killed by Zheng Zhilong in 1628, not only successfully survived the life and death crisis

, and launched several beautiful counterattacks in the second half of last year, which greatly affected the morale of the "Eighteen Zhi". At the end of the year, the Liu Xiang gang that dominated the Guangdong waters also suffered under the gunfire of the Haihan Navy.

Defeated, he led his men back to the sea area where Fujian and Guangdong were handed over. The control area under his name shrank by at least two-thirds, and his strength was also greatly reduced in this war. Since the war in Fujian and Guangdong provinces were both in an unfavorable situation,

Since then, the "Eighteen Zhi" offensives near Zhangzhou have been greatly slowed down this year, and there are even faint signs of retreating to Taiwan to recuperate.

The withdrawal of the "Eighteen Zhi" gave Xu Xinsu more opportunities to control maritime trade in the Fujian-Guangzhou area. Not only did Fujian reduce its order quantity due to the reduction in war, but it also hoped to purchase more weapons from Sanya so that it could be

Launched an attack on the "Eighteen Zhi" entrenched in Penghu and Taiwan Island. After learning that the Haihan Navy defeated the Liu Xiang Pirate Group in the waters of the Pearl River Estuary, the Fujian side even proposed to purchase the Haihan warship.

Compared with the Annan court, which was financially strapped and already in debt crisis, Xu Xinsu, a large merchant who monopolized most of Fujian's maritime trade, was obviously much more confident. He didn't know where he found out about the warships provided to the Annan court by "Haihan Military Industry"

After asking for a quotation, Dong Yanyun, who was in Guangzhou, was asked to contact the Guangdong Office, claiming that he could order warships at Haihan's asking price, and that he would order ten warships at the outset.

This news was only sent back to Sanya via telegram yesterday. Bai Kesi, who is in charge of "Haihan Military Industry", has been busy in Tiandu Industrial Zone recently and cannot get away for a while, so the executive committee handed over this matter to Schneider and asked him to contact the military

After joint discussion, a resolution on whether it is feasible will be proposed to the Executive Committee.

Regarding this matter, Yan Chujie's attitude is very clear: "Selling weapons used by the army can be considered, but I think naval combat ships cannot be sold to forces that have the ability to pose a threat to us. Although we now have military relations with Xu Xinsu

Cooperation, but in the future we will enter the Taiwan Strait, there will inevitably be conflicts of interest with Xu Xinsu. If he takes advantage of the situation and wants to work with us, then the warship sold to them will become a fool for us to ask for trouble.

Recruitment? Other things can be discussed, but I will not agree to selling the boat under any circumstances."

Schneider said: "But this list is huge. Ten ships, including weapons and equipment, is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! Calculated based on the previous quotation, the gross profit margin should be more than 100%, right? Ten 'Exploration Class' ships

', with the current scale of the shipyard, it can be completed in less than half a year, so this business is still very profitable!"

"The arms trade is not just about economic benefits!" Yan Chujie stared at Schneider with an unyielding attitude: "If we want to start a war with Xu Xinsu in the future, how much will it cost to destroy these ten ships we sold? We may not know at that time.

Even the copy was broken!”

Schneider rolled his eyes and said: "Or we can think of other ways, such as requiring them to bring the ship to Sanya for maintenance every year?"

Yan Chujie shook his head and said: "This won't work. We put forward this condition to Annan because there are no large shipyards and required docks in Annan, and there is no condition to maintain warships. But this argument will not work in Fujian.

Yes, there are more shipyards over there than we have salt farms, and they can complete ordinary repairs by themselves. Xu Xinsu is not a fool and will definitely not agree to such conditions."

"How about lowering the technical standards and letting the shipyards remodel and produce specialized export models?" Schneider was not stumped, and then proposed another plan.

"I have already discussed this matter with Yue Zhiyun and the others." Yan Chujie responded: "Theoretically it is feasible, but if the orders are too small, the cost of designing and manufacturing new ship types will not be reduced, because the warships have

Many parts and components have been produced in a standardized manner, and modification involves a series of production links. Moreover, warship modification is not like army weapons, which can widen the technological generation gap. Before we put steam engines and sailing ships into use

, there is no insurmountable gap between the warships currently used by the navy and traditional Chinese warships. Even if we design a model specifically for export, the combat effectiveness gap with our original model will not be too big. This is still important to us.

A hidden risk."

"It would be a pity to let go of such a big order!" After hearing Yan Chujie's explanation, Schneider knew that the military's concerns were reasonable, but seeing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver slip away, he felt that it was too real

A bit unwilling.
