Chapter 1250 The Enclave in Nanyang (first update, please subscribe)
Faced with his father’s question, although there was no answer for a while, in the next few days, Li Yixuan almost spent all his time in books In the library, when something is unclear, reading a book seems to be the easiest way for young people to deal with things. Of course, as long as he is willing, he can also go to the university to consult the experts,
But , Li Yixuan knew very well that what his father needed was his study.
What to study?
To allow more people to live in Antarctica, the first problem that needs to be solved is how they live there.
If you want to settle down, you need to solve the problem of housing first!
Only after settling in can you consider the next step of clothing and food. These problems need to be solved.
In fact, the core is two words - people's livelihood!
How to make people willing to live locally, not just through financial subsidies.
That is to say, they need to have independent hematopoietic ability.
This is to cultivate his ability to deal with affairs. When Li Yixuan was looking for answers in the vast sea of books in the National Library, time had already passed 62 years.
Just before New Year's Day, Zhao Hechuan, like a group of new recruits, boarded a C130 Hercules transport plane.
As a "gendarme policeman", after receiving fifteen weeks of recruit training, he received ten weeks of "professional training", which is actually basic police training. After the training, he followed the usual routine - —Carry out allocation draws.
Zhao Hechuan is undoubtedly lucky. Although he did not enter the Marine Corps as he wished, he was selected for overseas deployment.
“Haha, I can finally see the world!”
Like all young people, Zhao Hechuan also has the dream of seeing the world. Some of them look like they are mourning when they are deployed overseas. The difference is that he is excited inside and even packed his backpack early. Just waiting to go.
Finally, as New Year's Day was about to pass, he set off with the new recruits. On a Hercules transport plane, there were dozens of officers and soldiers, including new recruits, veterans, the Army, Navy, Air Force, and of course Marines. and gendarmerie police.
Their military uniforms vary, but one thing is certain, they will all be serving overseas in the next two to three years.
As soon as the plane took off, the recruit sitting next to Zhao Hechuan asked curiously:
"Brother, where are you serving?"
"Gwadar."
Zhao Hechuan said with a smile:
"Gwadar? Haha, that's a coincidence. I'm there too. My name is Sun Chen. What's yours?"
"Zhao Hechuan."
Soon the two of them started chatting.
Because Gwadar is located on the border between Pakistan and Iran, it takes more than ten hours and one transfer to reach the airport. These ten hours are enough for two young people to become good friends.
After a transfer at the airport in Ceylon, the plane landed at a seaside airport at about 9 pm that night. When Sun Chen and Zhao Hechuan got off the plane, several officers and soldiers came down. , there are new recruits and veterans.
Although the airport looks simple, it has all the necessary facilities. The 3,200-meter runway can even deploy H1 bombers.
The military garrison is centered on the airport. The army, navy and air force are all stationed here, and the military police are certainly no exception.
“We are not at the airport!”
The corporal who received them drove the Warrior SUV straight out of the base and said to them:
"The military police are actually the police. We are here not only to maintain local order, but also to avoid other It’s very important for people to enter here!”
Zhang Pengju emphasized specifically.
“Gwadar itself is land belonging to Oman. It was leased to us by the United Kingdom a few years ago in accordance with the South-British Space Exploration Treaty. Although this area is only more than 2,100 square kilometers, it is similar to Muharram. Sandem is also a strategic location for guarding the Persian Gulf. "
At this time, a small and dilapidated fishing village appeared in their sights.
"But there is another problem. This land was occupied by Oman from the Late Khanate at the end of the 18th century, and the Late Khanate later became part of Pakistan. After its independence, Pakistan also realized that the Gwadar region importance, so I really want to take back this land.”
This is a typical approach of the old troublemaker, the British, who used the Gwadar region to successfully create conflicts between Nanyang and Pakistan, and also used Muhammed. Sandam created discord between Nanyang and Oman, and the transfer of Paradise Island also created discord between Nanyang and Yemen.
In addition, even with Iran, the United Kingdom also stirred up the situation-when leasing Musandam to Nanyang, it transferred Abu Musa Island, Greater Tunb Island and Xiaotong Island in the Persian Gulf. Bu was also loaned to Nanyang.
Although these three islands are not large, the issue of ownership is extremely complicated - both Iran and the United Arab Emirates believe that their ancestors were the first to discover and own the three islands. Therefore, they all claim sovereignty over it.
Leasing to Nanyang means transferring the contradiction to Nanyang.
It can be said that Nanyang has gained nearly 4,500 square kilometers of land in the Middle East through land leasing, but it has had territorial disputes with Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Pakistan. Regarding this, Nanyang’s official attitude is... So what about the controversy?
Just like the three islands in dispute with Iran - Abu Musa Island, Greater Tunb Island and Little Tunb Island, they are located near the center line of the main channel of the Persian Gulf and have important value in guarding shipping in the Persian Gulf.
Once you get it, Nanyang will definitely be in your hands!
In contrast, the strategic location of Gwadar, located on the northern coast of the Arabian Sea, is not important at all.
"Although it is not important, it does not prevent some people from thinking about it! Since the British handed over governance to us four years ago, Pakistan has been trying to acquire this area. They have even tried to continuously strengthen their military presence in the border areas to encourage Pakistan People are migrating to Gwadar. Of course, our attitude is very firm - it is forbidden to enter."
The off-road vehicle drove along the earth-built road. After almost an hour, a road stretched in the black barrier. The barbed wire fence reaching the end of the horizon appeared in Zhao Hechuan's sight.
“This is the border,”
After the car stopped, Zhang Pengju smiled.
“Isn’t it amazing?”
The reason why I say this is because most Nanyang people are very unfamiliar with borders. After all, apart from Dongning, there are no borders.
But here, there is a real border, not only a border, but also a garrison.
“We are the military police!”
At the checkpoint, Lieutenant Li Wei looked at the two recruits in front of him and introduced:
“If we are in China, We just assist the police in maintaining law and order, but here, we need to perform another task - border security.”
The "gendarme police" is a very special armed force in Nanyang. Outside the central city market in Nanyang, there are many small towns such as settlements. Those areas usually do not have municipal police, so the gendarmerie police assume the important task of maintaining social order. .
Moreover, in the early days of the founding of the Nanyang Republic, there were both remnants of the Japanese army in the dense tropical rain forests, as well as guerrillas who refused to lay down their weapons. Therefore, for a long time, the military police force was also responsible for carrying out public security warfare. Therefore, Equipped with heavy equipment such as machine guns, mortars, helicopters, and anti-riot armored vehicles.
“Here, we are outsiders! Remember this, whether it is for the Gwadar people or the Pakistanis, they are one family because of their faith, so they regard us as outsiders, so , there is no clear understanding of who is the friend and who is the enemy, and what is our mission?"
Li Wei looked at the recruits and said:
"It is to secure the border here? It is our task to not be infiltrated and to ensure that the number of locals here does not change from more than 2,000 to more than 20,000. Now, are there any problems? ”
After the officer finished speaking, Zhao Hechuan said:
“Sir, please speak!”
“Permission to speak!”
“If someone crosses the border, we can open the door. Gun?"
While talking, Zhao Hechuan turned his attention to the barbed wire fence - it had the words "No entry into the minefield" written in Chinese characters, English and local characters.
"Your guns are not decorations!"
Li Wei said directly, then walked up to him, patted the rifle on his right waist hard, and said:
"If you encounter illegal border crossers while patrolling, shoot directly. Remember..."
At this time, he was not talking to Zhao Hechuan and the others, but to everyone, saying:
“Don’t worry about checking whether the other party is a threat. Remember, you must protect yourself first. Any illegal border crosser may threaten your life. If you cannot ensure that they are Before the militants, the safest way is to kill them!”
The order was simple and direct, and of course it made Zhao Hechuan and Sun Chen understand one thing - this is different from Nanyang. If Nanyang is a paradise, this is the real world. In this world, everything is pure and simple.
That night, at this border checkpoint, Zhao Hechuan, who tossed and turned and could not fall asleep, finally left the dormitory. Smoking outside the dormitory, he saw the sentry tower and the station on the sentry tower. Looking at the comrades on duty, the MG42 machine gun on the sentry tower was pointed in the distance. At the border entrance, another comrade was walking back and forth with a gun on his arm.
“Why can’t you sleep?”
At this time, the commander’s voice suddenly came from behind.
“Sir!”
Li Wei walked out of the shadows, walked to Zhao Hechuan, looked into the distance and said.
"Does it feel different from what you imagined? In fact, this is overseas, maybe different from Nanyang, but we are here to protect this place!"
After that, He patted Zhao Hechuan on the shoulder and said:
"Okay, don't think so much, just have a good sleep! When the sun comes out tomorrow, go to a nearby village..."
It was only then that Zhao Hechuan noticed that the officer was wearing a ring on his right hand - the ring from King's School.
Sure enough, there are brothers from King’s School everywhere here!
“We have Pakistan on one side and Iran on the other side... Well, this is the junction of the three countries. However, compared to Pakistan, Iran is more friendly. After all, for now, Iran is Our friendly country."
Looking in another direction, Li Wei smiled and said:
"If you have the opportunity in the future, you can take advantage of your holiday to visit Iran. Tehran is still very popular. It’s unique, and there are also many Nanyang people working there, and our company has undertaken many projects there.”
