Chapter 3726
"Whether we are fighting or doing business, our country will do our best to help. How can we fall behind?"
Li Xi's attitude was very firm and did not show any hesitation because the information he had previously had was wrong.
But in the view of the Executive Committee, there is probably part of the reason for this attitude, which is that it is unwilling to be credited by Annan and must show anyway.
This strange competitive relationship between North Korea and Annan has actually been a long history.
Both countries were supported by Hai Han for a long time, and all areas of the country were deeply influenced by Hai Han. Even the current king had the experience of studying in Hai Han, and for many years he had always regarded Hai Han as the sect leader.
However, both vassal states, their closeness and distantness with the Hai Han Dynasty are directly related to the level of international status, so there will be some differences.
Annan Teng approached Haihan earlier, and was close to Sanya, the former center of power of Haihan. Even among the immigrants Haihan absorbed in his early years, a considerable number of people were from Annan. The relationship between the two countries was extremely close.
Although North Korea was a latecomer, it has been very proactive since it defected to Hai Han. It has made a lot of efforts in Hai Han's war against the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and Japan, and thus won the value of Hai Han.
Of course, there is another reason why North Korea is working hard now, that is, its domestic political situation is currently divided between the north and the south. Due to the intervention of Hai Han, it is difficult for the court to effectively bind the northern region.
In order to return the country to normal, King Li Shi must use all channels to show his value to Hai Han, proving that North Korea does not need two courts to separate the north and south.
This kind of opportunity to prove oneself is not much, nor is it too little. The result of the great contribution you can make is second. The important thing is to actively participate.
War is a low-probability event, especially when the overall situation in Northeast Asia has been determined and Hai Han has almost no opponents, the only opportunity North Korea can get to participate in the war nearby is to participate in the Japanese civil war.
However, Hai Han did not want North Korea's intervention to have too much impact on the Japanese civil war situation, so the Korean army participating in the war only carried out some tasks to assist in defense in Kyushu.
To show something in front of Hai Han, North Korea can only focus on a longer and larger range, rather than sticking to its surrounding areas.
What is the most scarce thing in Haihan at this stage? As one of the countries with closest ties with Haihan, North Korea certainly understands that this is manpower and the second is transportation capacity.
Haihan's expansion overseas is astonishingly fast, and manpower and transportation capacity are always in a state of shortage of supply. It is no longer a secret.
In the past, North Korea also provided a lot of immigrant population to Haihan. However, after the division of the north and the south, only the southern part of the peninsula controlled by Lee Hye was actually controlled, and the number of immigrants that could be provided to Haihan naturally decreased a lot.
However, North Korea still has room for efforts in terms of transportation capacity. After all, many shipyards have been built in ports in various places over the years, and North Korea's maritime trade fleet has long been out of the peninsula, extending its footprints to various parts of East Asia, including the South China Sea.
So when Li Xi heard the Executive Committee say that the fleet that was visiting this time was only carrying out trade tasks, not military strikes, he immediately said that North Korea could also adjust the fleet composition according to Hai Han's needs and perform corresponding tasks.
The most important thing is that Annan cannot monopolize this credit.
The trade quota, study abroad quota, technical assistance, tariff reduction and other preferential treatment provided by Hai Han to various vassal states every year has a limit. If Country A gets more, Country B may get less. As for whoever takes more and who gets less, isn’t it just depends on who has worked hard and made great contributions this year and who performs better?
Li Xi probably also learned from other channels that Annan has participated in Hai Han's operation, so he cannot be left behind no matter what.
If Annan has a share, North Korea must also have it; if Annan has no share, North Korea must work harder. These efforts may all turn into actual returns in the coming year.
Faced with the inquiries of the Executive Committee, Li Xi said without hesitation that North Korea could send a fleet of thirty cargo ships to assist Hai Han in completing the transportation of materials or personnel.
And these cargo ships were not temporarily transferred from the people, but were official assets affiliated to the royal family. The sailor crew members have received unified training, and the composition and operation of the fleet are based on the Haihan system, which can avoid many troubles such as poor command during the operation.
The maritime transportation department was originally worried about the transportation capacity required to transport immigrants, and it was not easy to transfer the ships needed to transfer thousands of immigrants at one time. Li Xi's proactive call for the job just happened to fill the capacity gap in this part.
So Li Xi also applied for the qualification to participate in this visit task without much trouble, and left thankfully.
The joining of Annan and North Korea also did not become a secret, and the news soon spread on the market.
This also made more people realize that this visit is not just an ordinary inspection place. In the past, such multinational joint actions often indicate that Hai Han will make major progress overseas.
The well-informed Portuguese were also noted.
Although Rui's operation on Hormuz Island had not yet been summoned to the Portuguese Embassy in Hangzhou at this time, only according to public reports, the Portuguese have learned that one of the new ports opened by Haihan in the Middle East is also located within the Strait of Hormuz, not far from Hormuz Island.

The existence of this port has undoubtedly had an impact on Portugal's local interests. Judging from past experience, perhaps in just a few years, Haihan's port will gradually replace Hormuz Island under Portugal's control and become a local international trade center.
This is definitely not a good news to celebrate for Portugal, which finally established a stronghold in the local area.
But from Portugal's standpoint, Ambassador Thomas also knew that even protesting to Hai Han would be useless. Since Hai Han was in the local area, he would not change his decision easily.
The current plan is to minimize the impact caused by Hai Han in the local area and maintain the trade status of Hormuz.
But Simang, who knows Rui's name, is not optimistic about Thomas's point of view.
"Ruy is a person who is quick-witted and likes to be self-righteous. I just hope he must not be smart and use some shameful means. That may backfire and annoy the Hai Han people!"
Thomas said, "Is there really such a risk?"
Simang nodded and said, "My suggestion is to write a letter to the local area as soon as possible, and warn Rui not to act rashly!"
Although Ximang thought of this, what he did not expect was that Rui's actions were much earlier than his warning, and the disaster he caused was already irreconcilable.
