Chapter 454 Rules and Goals

Judging from the monthly written work reports submitted by the military team of the General Office of the People's Republic of China, they have been planning to occupy Hong Kong Island for a long time, and have conducted many on-the-spot inspections for this purpose, and even selected the troops for overseas training many times.

We have selected the waters near Hong Kong Island as a target. This shows that even if the military team of the General Office of the People's Republic of China in Guangdong Province has not fully understood the situation on Hong Kong Island, it should be almost the same.

Tao Donglai put down the file and already had some idea of ​​the matter in his mind. It was obvious that the entire military was well aware of the actual situation on Hong Kong Island, and had already listed Hong Kong Island as the main target for the next mainland attack.

Tao Donglai believed that without his knowledge, the militants in the general staff might even have planned a war plan on paper to occupy the local area by force.

Of course, Tao Donglai didn't mind being kept in the dark. There was indeed no need to report to him before concrete progress was made in implementing this kind of thing. Moreover, his temporary position was more of a political necessity.

If you have more, you won't have the energy to interfere with the specific affairs of the military.

"So the application submitted by the military team of the General Office of the People's Republic of China is actually the intention of the staff?" Tao Donglai asked.

Yan Chujie did not deny Tao Donglai's speculation, and nodded: "During the inspection of Hong Kong Island, Guangdong found that the political risks we were worried about did not actually exist there, so they submitted relevant plans. But the Staff Department

We believe that if we report the actual local situation completely truthfully, we may encounter some unnecessary pressure in the voting of the Executive Committee. After discussion, we decided to retain some less important situations to promote this plan.

Pass it through the executive committee as soon as possible.”

Tao Donglai shook his head slowly and said: "I'm not accusing the General Staff of not handling this matter correctly, but leaving such an obvious loophole is just giving people an excuse! I know that there are people in the Executive Committee who like to take advantage of others.

, you still..."

"Old Tao, don't get excited. This matter is not that serious." Yan Chujie quickly advised Tao Donglai before he could react: "I also said at the meeting just now that the point of the matter is not whether the military deliberately targeted Hong Kong.

The situation on the island has been concealed, but we want to see if we can use this opportunity to accomplish the things we have always wanted to do but have not been able to do."

"What about after it's done? What about next time?" Tao Donglai continued to shake his head and said: "I know that the staff is not motivated by selfishness, but there are still rules for doing things. If you do this, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop it in the future!"

"Old Tao, if you must pursue responsibility, then let this matter be blamed on me." Yan Chujie said solemnly: "After all, I am the one who calls the shots now, and I can't let the people below take the blame."

Tao Donglai took a deep breath and said: "This is not a question of whether to take the blame or not, but the matter itself was done illegally. Do you understand?"

"I understand, so what? If we don't force this matter to go away, according to Ning Qi, we must consider that there are people settling there, then how long will this matter be delayed because of the hundreds of local residents? Three

Month or five months?" Yan Chujie's opinion on this matter was obviously very stubborn, and he was not swayed by Tao Donglai's accusation: "This is the third year of time travel, and we are still living in Sanya as local rich people.

If we continue to develop at this rate, how long will it take for us to build the planned transcontinental country? Thirty years or forty years? If these things still need to be left to the next generation to complete, then what is the point of us crossing over? Lao Tao

, we are all in our late 30s and almost 40s. When we retire at the age of 60, we won’t have many years to live. If we don’t work hard now while we can still move, we will really wait until we are too old to be able to walk.

Is it time for someone to carry him to the battlefield and command the battle?"

Tao Donglai was obviously also touched by Yan Chujie's words. After a long time, he responded: "I have not forgotten why we gave up everything before and came here. Our goal is still the same as before. I also have nothing to do with this matter."

I won’t say anything more, but I hope this is the last time. I don’t have to wait until one day to cause trouble before I say who deserves the blame or not, do you understand what I mean?”

"Understood." Yan Chujie responded, his heart hanging in the air finally relieved.

Yan Chujie was not worried that Tao Donglai would fall out with him over this matter. After all, the two were comrades who had known each other for many years, and they traveled together to this time and space to conquer the world. To be serious, they had a life-long friendship. They must have known each other for many years.

He would not let work matters affect his personal relationship. But he was afraid that Tao Donglai was too principled and would suspend the plans to open Hong Kong Island because of the military's false report. In that case, it would not only be the military that would suffer losses.

The human, material and financial resources previously consumed for this matter, and more importantly, precious development time will be delayed.

For Haihan, although he has encountered many difficulties since time travel, overall the external expansion process has been relatively smooth, and the executive committee has been able to focus more resources and energy on external expansion measures. But even if

In this way, this expansion speed is still too slow for time travellers. Everyone abandons their past life and embarks on this road of no return. The purpose of most people is to come here to become the founding father, and

They do not exist as the fathers of the founding fathers. If the dream of establishing an invincible empire cannot be completed in the prime of life, then even if the next generation realizes this vision, it will not be satisfactory to the time travellers.

The emphasis on Hong Kong Island even exceeds that of the four port locations in southern Annan. For Haihan, whether the four ports are completed or not is related to the progress of the big goal of controlling the Strait of Malacca in the future.

Regarding the location of Haihan's main base and main trade direction, and taking into account the opponents that may be encountered, controlling the shipping lanes in the Nanyang region is not a very urgent matter. The ownership of Hong Kong Island will directly

Major events that affected Haihan's strategy on the mainland.

If Hong Kong Island can be successfully captured, we can basically control the waters of the Pearl River Estuary in a down-to-earth manner, and affect all waterways from the Guangdong and Guangxi regions to Fujian, the Taiwan Strait, and the northern coastal provinces. With Hong Kong Island as the axis and springboard, the sea

Hancai was able to free up its hands and feet to gradually expand its power in the southeastern coastal area, instead of relying on "small and small" projects such as the Guangdong Office and Wanshan Port to improve progress.

For the military, the strategic significance of controlling Hong Kong cannot be ignored, and Yan Chujie does not even need to explain it to Tao Donglai. The location of Hong Kong Island can be advanced, attacked, retreated, or defended, which allows warships to reach Guangzhou City directly.

You can also rely on the local natural terrain to build an unconquerable fortress-like port, thereby blocking the entire Pearl River Estuary. Controlling this place is equivalent to providing an insurance for the isolated Hainan Island. Even if the Executive Committee

The meeting is undecided here, and the military has already made up its mind. Sooner or later, it will have to find a reason to set foot on Hong Kong Island.

Two days later, the "Lightning" sailing ship carried a joint inspection team of seven people composed of the military, the Ministry of Shipping, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Construction and other units, and set off from Victory Port to the Pearl River Estuary. They will follow the requirements of the Executive Committee to conduct

Conduct on-site inspections of the area on the south side of Hong Kong Island and assess the local development value and difficulty.

However, on the same day they set off from Victory Port, Guangzhou made new progress. Mr. Liu, who had received a large commission, lived up to the expectations of He Xi and others. It only took him a few days to complete the project.

We completed what He Xi requested - registered with the Guangzhou Government in the name of Haihan Trading Company, and built a commercial port and facilities on the south side of Hong Kong Island under Xin'an County within the year.

The registration procedure itself actually costs very little, but obtaining this registration qualification without leaving any trace cost the General Office of the People's Republic of China a thousand taels of silver. Of course, compared to the results achieved, this thousand taels of silver is worth it.

Worth a thousand dollars. After receiving the news, the General Office of the People's Republic of China reported the good news to the base camp and began to figure out whether the first batch of immigrants should be naturalized people from the Haihan Transport or directly recruited from the local immigrants.

Send part of it to the local area.

As soon as the news came out, everyone in the Guangdong Office was in action. Everyone knew that if the establishment of a Hong Kong base was approved, the most promising candidates to serve as local officials would definitely be born in the Guangdong Office. In addition to professionalism

Except for He Xi, who is too strong, and Cai Jinmei, the bank affairs director, others seem to be likely to take this opportunity to get promoted. Sister Ma Yuma, who is in charge of health care, Sha Xi, the immigration director, Chen Tianqi, the information director, and You Yihan, the transportation director,

The young duo of Xiao Liang and Yu Yao from the military team, as well as Chen Yixin and Li Dou from Wanshan Island, seemed to have a chance to leap over the dragon gate.

Of course, the person with the greatest chance is still Malik, who currently serves as the director of the General Office of the People's Republic of China. After all, compared to other staff, Malik has taken the path of a professional politician, and his comprehensive ability and overall view are indeed better than others.

Competitors. In terms of work ability, it can be said that Malik's experience in the system helped him win at the starting line. No matter how hard others try, the lack of political experience is ultimately a shortcoming, and this is precisely

Marico's strengths.

However, what everyone is fighting for is not just the top position in the Hong Kong stronghold in the future. After all, Hong Kong Island is not a small place like Dawanshan Island. It is enough to put two officials in charge, one civil and one military. No matter how politically sensitive it is,

Low-level people also know that Hong Kong Island plays a great role in military and commercial trade, and the population allocated to the local area will definitely not be as simple as one or two communes. Sha Sha, the immigration director stationed in Guangzhou from the Ministry of Civil Affairs

Xiju boldly predicted that within a period of time after the occupation of Hong Kong Island, a considerable part of the residents recruited from the mainland by the Guangdong Office would be diverted to Hong Kong Island, and the immigrant population may even be reduced in a very short period of time.

would exceed the current population of the island.

As long as there are thousands of people living in the local area, a complete set of administrative management teams will inevitably be needed to maintain the operation of the Haihan governance system. Various grassroots management agencies will be established and the managers needed will also emerge.

Not just one or two people can satisfy you, there should still be a lot of vacant positions.

On the same day that the expedition team sent from Victory Port arrived in Aberdeen, another team from Guangzhou to inspect the local people's conditions also arrived at the same time. However, the team that went from Guangzhou was not Haihan's own team, but Haihan's team.

Organize an investment inspection team with the participation of many wealthy businessmen.

In today's Guangzhou, following the Haihan people to eat meat is basically a conventional concept in the business circle. Most of the merchants who cooperated with the Haihan people in the first two years made a lot of money, and their business scale and radiation area

It has also developed significantly compared with the past. Nowadays, whenever businessmen in Guangzhou hear that someone is from Qiongzhou Island, most of them will ask if they are from the south or the north. As soon as they hear that someone is from the south, their attitude will immediately change.

There will be changes.

After all, the most prosperous area in Guangdong and Guangxi is no longer Guangzhou, but the Sanya area in the south of Qiongzhou Island - yes, the number of people in the business circle who say the place name Yazhou is gradually decreasing, replaced by the supposedly named "Sanya"

It is a place name directly transliterated from the Li language. As long as someone is from Sanya, it must mean Haihan, and the two characters Haihan can now be regarded as a symbol of financial resources and credibility in the market.

Two years ago, when the Haihan people established "Qiong Lianfa" and brought a group of wealthy businessmen to go to Yazhou to invest, many people still had a wait-and-see attitude. Many people even thought that the Haihan people were a group of liars. However, the subsequent development can be

To everyone's surprise, these wealthy businessmen not only received excellent economic returns from their investments in Qiongzhou, but their business coverage also expanded from Guangzhou to the entire Qiongzhou Island. Some of them have even sold their goods to Annan.

Champa is a country that only professional maritime traders would visit in the past.

The success of "Qiong Lianfa" has also brought many additional benefits to Haihan. With the conscious promotion of relevant departments, these large merchants have gradually begun to accept and enjoy the so-called "Haihan lifestyle" and use various methods in their lives.

We are proud of the stationery, glassware, sanitary ware, four-wheeled carriages, and even Haihan bank checks and other unique items produced by Haihan. These products are often sold by the Haihan commercial department to cater to this high-consumption group.

The specially developed limited edition is a rare thing on the market that even the rich can't buy. It also greatly satisfies the vanity of wealthy businessmen and increases their motivation to show off to their relatives and friends. In these societies,

The trend set by the middle and upper class people often leads to more middle and lower class people rushing to follow suit. This is in line with the original plan of the Executive Committee to "let a group of people get rich first, and then make these people rich."

The policy of leading others to join the Haihan social system.
