Chapter 591 Solution

Just as How Xi and Malike expected, after the news from Fujian was transmitted back to the base camp, it naturally attracted attention, and the executive committee immediately convened senior personnel in Sanya to discuss countermeasures.

As the host of the meeting, Tao Donglai first briefly explained the general information obtained so far to the participants, and finally said: "Their negotiation for peace is not the biggest problem. The vague attitude Xu Xinsu is showing now is what we need to be wary of.

What kind of response measures should we take in this regard? I hope everyone can express their opinions and make suggestions together."

"If the news from Fujian is true, then Xu Xinsu consciously wants to negotiate with the other party without telling us. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it seems that he has no intention of informing us immediately." Yan Chujie took it immediately.

Hua Tou expressed his opinion: "I think it is necessary to attack Fujian at the right time."

Ning Qi shook his head and objected: "Fujian is not a city in Yacheng. Let's go as soon as we can. The voyage from Sanya to Zhangzhou is nearly 700 nautical miles. It's almost time for a trip to the Ambrosia Islands. We will send a ship when everything is ready.

By that time, the negotiations over there are probably at an advanced stage."

Yan Chujie explained: "Teacher Ning, please don't misunderstand me. The beating I am talking about does not refer specifically to fighting. It can also be achieved through other means! For example, we can first suspend military assistance to Fujian, especially arms.

and equipment sales…”

Before Yan Chujie finished speaking, Bai Kesi interrupted him: "I agree with beating Xu Xinsu, but I oppose using the method of stopping arms sales to achieve this goal! This has too many negative effects on us. First, it will affect

It affects our business reputation. After all, orders from Fujian are all paid in advance. If we terminate the contract because of some unfounded news, it will be detrimental to our reputation. Secondly, arms sales revenue is the basis for the industrial sector to achieve production profits.

For major projects, the Fujian side has to pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to us every year. Where will this money be replenished after it stops? Thirdly, the Fujian side now provides us with not only money, but also what we need.

For various minerals, materials, and human resources, if we interrupt our cooperation, Fujian may also cut off these supply chains, which may not be worth the loss for us."

"I would also like to add that if we use military sales to get Xu Xinsu's neck, even if we can get him to submit this time, it will definitely leave a knot in his heart, which may have a negative impact on our future layout in Fujian." Tao

Dong Lai continued what Bai Kesi said.

Yan Chujie shrugged and said, "Okay, okay, you all have a point, so who can come up with a practical idea?"

Trade sanctions are a double-edged sword. Everyone, including Yan Chujie, understands this. But the problem is that the relationship between Haihan and Fujian is mainly based on trade. Even military cooperation projects are based on arms trade. Once the relationship is terminated,

There is no benefit to each other, and it can even be said that the negative impact on Haihan is greater. After all, it is Haihan who needs a large amount of resource input and is eager to expand outwards. Xu Xinsu probably has no intention of establishing his own family and establishing a political power. He only needs to be stable.

It is enough for him to be the local local bully in Fujian.

The military suppression method that Haihan is best at seems to be a little beyond the reach of Fujian. Unlike Annan, Fujian has troops stationed there that can be called upon at any time, and Navy Commander Wang Tom is still on his way back to Hainan Island from Nanyang.

The fleet he led has been on the voyage for more than a month and has just returned from its mission. It is obviously not suitable to send it out to carry out missions in Fujian immediately.

But other than that, it seemed that no other effective and reliable method could be found for a while. Everyone looked at each other in confusion at Yan Chujie's decision. After all, no matter what method was used, it would definitely be difficult to implement without the military.

After a moment of silence, Yan Chujie spoke again: "As of now, there are only two options. The first is to wait for the results of the peace negotiations in Fujian, and then we will express the corresponding attitude. But no matter what, we

We will lose the initiative in this matter. The second way is to express our attitude to Fujian as soon as possible. We must condemn those who deserve condemnation and warn those who deserve warning. If Xu Xinsu still cannot listen, then we will take further measures.

We must use tough measures, such as interrupting trade and military cooperation. If necessary, we can even contact Shibazhi and do what we did in the past two years from a different perspective."

"Isn't this too immoral?" Someone obviously had some opinions on Yan Chujie's last two sentences.

"Integrity?" Yan Chujie didn't take kindly to such doubts: "If we want to have integrity, we don't even need to support Xu Xinsu. We can train our own troops and fight through it slowly! What is our purpose? When our navy is so powerful

Before taking over the Taiwan Strait, make sure that the area will not be monopolized by any force. Whether it is Xu Xinsu or Zheng Zhilong, who we choose to support is based on the purpose of benefiting ourselves, not based on his camp. We just want Xu Xinsu to know,

If he refuses to cooperate with us honestly, then we can support a new force to replace his current position at any time!"

"Then according to your opinion, we should send an envoy to Fujian to have a good talk with Xu Xinsu?" Ning Qi heard the implication of Yan Chujie's words.

Yan Chujie nodded and said: "Things will develop to the current situation. In the final analysis, our local influence in Fujian is too low, so that Xu Xinsu does not need to take into account how we will feel thousands of miles away. I think

It’s time to send a mission to Fujian to express our position and attitude, so that Xu Xinsu understands what can and cannot be done!"

"Send a mission to Fujian?" Tao Donglai pondered: "Then we must say hello to the Fujian side first."

"Doesn't Xu Xinsu have a staff resident in Guangzhou? The one named Dong, just ask the Guangdong Office to notify him immediately and ask him to send someone to send a message back." Yan Chujie had obviously given some thought to this and immediately

So we came up with a solution.

"We don't have our troops stationed there in Fujian. If we send a mission there, how can we ensure safety?" Ning Qi raised his own question.

Yan Chujie said: "Since this matter was initiated by the military, of course it is the military's responsibility. Besides, if there is no garrison, why don't they go out? Then everyone will stay on Hainan Island and play the map to open up new territories and diary the game of powerful countries! That's okay too

It won't take a hundred years, maybe a hundred days will be enough to conquer the whole world!"

Ning Qi said angrily: "Do you think I am a timid person?"

Yan Chujie shook his head and said: "You had the courage to follow us in the first place. Of course you are not a timid person, but I'm worried that your statement has gone too far. If things don't go well by then, then the foreign policy may be changed in the future.

Becoming more and more cautious and conservative.”

"Conservatism and prudence are two different things!" Ning Qi still retorted with every word.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. Now is not the time to argue about these details. Lao Yan, what emergency plans does the military have for Fujian?" Tao Donglai quickly stopped the argument between the two, otherwise the two guys would continue

If the debate continues, it will probably lead to other things.

After Haihan established the Military Commission and its subordinate staff, the military also formulated many emergency plans for various regions outside Sanya to prepare for emergencies. In addition to Annan, Guangdong and other areas close to Hainan Island,

Fujian, which has close ties with Haihan, is naturally one of the areas that the military is paying attention to.

Yan Chujie responded: "Since we do not have an organized army stationed in Fujian, the contingency plans we formulated before were basically based on evacuating personnel from the local area in emergencies, which may not be suitable for dealing with the current situation.

situation."

"Then what do you think?" Tao Donglai continued to ask.

"My personal suggestion..." Yan Chujie said after considering it: "Send a fleet to Zhangzhou in the name of a visit. While negotiating with Xu Xinsu, we can also show off our military power and let him realize who is qualified to fight in the southeast.

The coast has the final say! Of course, the purpose of this fleet is not to go to war, so the scale does not need to be too large, and the quality does not need to be many. Two or three combat ships are enough. In this way, we do not need to spend too much time

As for the preparations before departure, if we hurry up, we can set off in two or three days."

"This is a relatively safe solution." Tao Donglai nodded and wrote down Yan Chujie's ideas in his notebook.

During the following meeting, there were basically no feasible solutions. If it were left in the time and space before the time travel, this kind of problem would actually be easily solved through communication tools, but in this time and space, it is probably only

It can be realized through face-to-face talks. And if time travelers are not sent to the local area, it will obviously not reflect the importance that the Haihan Executive Committee attaches to this matter.

"Then, let's vote!" After all the participants finally expressed their opinions, Tao Donglai proposed to vote to choose a solution to this problem.

The plan proposed by Yan Chujie was finally selected. After all, no matter how to solve it, the military could not be bypassed, and the military's plan was indeed the most feasible one. Even Ning Qi, who had doubts about Yan Chujie, could not accept this.

Don't admit it.

"Then without further ado, let's determine the candidate for the envoy to Fujian as soon as possible!" After Tao Donglai counted the results, he announced that he would move on to the next agenda.

"My idea was, of course, that it would be more appropriate for me to go on this trip." Yan Chujie was the first to sign up: "Besides, I am the supreme commander of the Haihan Militia, and I will be the one to negotiate with Xu Xinsu. The weight will definitely be higher than that of Shibazhi.

There are enough pirate leaders."

"I object!" The person who objected this time was still Ning Qi, but the reason for his objection made Yan Chujie unable to refute: "Lao Yan is one of the few people in our team who served as an officer before traveling through time. He is a professional

No one can replace your quality, and there cannot be any problem with your safety. Besides your current position, if you represent the military to negotiate with Xu Xinsu, if the negotiation breaks down, there will be no room for maneuver, and there will be no room for change from the perspective of negotiation.

It’s so suitable. I personally think that even if the military has to send people, it should assign middle-level personnel to come forward.”

After hearing this, Yan Chujie only felt angry and funny: "If you don't let me go, then the mission must have someone with enough weight to support it. Otherwise, Xu Xinsu has never heard of the name. How could he come forward in person?

talk?"

Ning Qi said: "Since ancient times, the missions have always been done by civilian officials and supplemented by military attachés. Negotiations, which require speaking skills, are best done by people from the civil service system."

"Come around, you are setting up an ambush here...tell me, who do you have candidates for?" Yan Chujie understood Ning Qi's plan after hearing this. It was obvious that he did not want the military to completely dominate this matter.

Since we are not going to fight but to negotiate, then the civil service system has every reason to get involved here.

"I would like to recommend myself for this matter." Ning Qi's words surprised everyone present. They didn't expect that he and Yan Chujie would argue with each other, but in the end he would have to play in person.

"As a member of the Standing Committee of the Executive Committee, I should have enough weight, and I have participated in various negotiations many times. I believe that my experience and skills are no worse than those of you here. In addition, I lead this mission as a scholar.

, it can also lower Xu Xinsu’s wariness a little, and at least make him understand that we are not going to have a falling out this time. Of course, the most important point is that among the standing committee members here, I am probably the only one who is relatively free and able to go out.

This trip is far away." Ning Qi calmly gave his reasons.

"It's reasonable and well-founded. I have no objection." Bai Kesi was the first to express his agreement.

Among the current executive committee members, Yuan Ruoxiu is old, and the agricultural department he is in charge of has always had a lot of affairs, so he was excluded from the selection in the first place. Tao Donglai, Yan Chujie, and Bai Kesi are each in charge of the Ministry of Construction, the Army and Industry

The production department is full of busy people, and it is indeed not suitable for this foreign trip. Gu Kai and Ren Liang have recently been busy establishing the Haihan judicial system and police department in the newly occupied Qiongbei area, and they are also extremely busy.

. And Schneider has decided to go to Annan this month to inspect the local business situation and sign an agreement with the Annan court on trade orders for the second half of the year. He will definitely not be able to leave. It seems that among the standing members of the Executive Committee,

Only Ning Qi was relatively free.

Of course, Ning Qi is not really that idle. The cultural and educational, civil affairs, and human resources departments he is in charge of also have a lot of things to do. However, as agreed before, the team that went to Fujian this time must have a heavyweight.

It was necessary to hold on to the battle, and among the nine members of the Standing Committee, he was the only one who could temporarily put down his affairs and take this trip.
