Chapter 1778 Command Power

The two most qualified candidates from the military, Haihan, to compete for deputy minister of defense, neither of them have much pursuit of an official career. Instead, they only want to make achievements on the battlefield and use their achievements to prove their value in life. This is naturally a good thing for the unity and healthy competition atmosphere within the military, but for individuals, especially Qian Tiandun who already has a family, this persistent pursuit may cause some harm to his family. negative impact.

Of course Qian Tiandun didn't know what kind of life Luo Wudan wanted, but it was indeed difficult for him to give up his career and put aside the tasks assigned by the country to support his family. And given his current status, some things are not as simple as Luo Wudan thought. If he wants to stop and change his lifestyle, he can't just write a report to the executive committee.

"You know something about the situation of the Ministry of National Defense. There are only a dozen or so people who can really lead troops to fight. Nowadays, most of them are guarding overseas colonies. There are even fewer generals like me and Tom Wang who can lead troops to fight everywhere. Come on. Think about it, if I step down from the front line, will anyone be able to step in?" Qian Tiandun didn't want to argue with his wife, so he explained patiently and slowly, trying to calm her emotions.

"The country can't expect you to continue to lead troops and lead the next generation to take over, right? Naturalized officers like Takahashi Minami will take over the military power sooner or later. They will be the mainstay of future combat forces. Your Ministry of National Defense should take over as soon as possible. Leave the command to them," Luo Wudan retorted angrily.

Qian Tiandun shook his head and said: "No matter how loyal Gao Qiaonan is, he is still a person in this time and space. As a soldier, he can thoroughly carry out the orders we give, but what we want to do in this world , he may not be able to understand. He can learn the various tactics we teach, but it is difficult to lead troops to fight according to our ideas. After all, the world in the eyes of naturalized officers is different from the world we have seen. It has nothing to do with whether the Executive Committee trusts their loyalty.”

There is no doubt about Takahashi Minami's loyalty, which has been fully proved in the past ten years in large and small wars. His position and military rank have also been improved year by year with the increase in military exploits. Now he is the only one in the army. The commander of the naturalized colonel. Qian Tiandun usually handed over the command of the troops to Gao Qiaonan during wartime. He only made macro deployment and tactical arrangements, while Gao Qiaonan was responsible for the specific fire line command.

Although Takahashi Minami cannot be said to have a high commanding talent, his advantage is that he can carry out the tactics arranged by Qian Tiandun to the letter, and he has indeed accumulated a wealth of combat experience in the past ten years, which is enough for him to cope with various battle situations. . In the special battle group's battles in the north in the past two years, Gao Qiaonan was almost always the battlefield commander, and he personally led the battle several times. He was also a well-known fierce general in the Haihan Army. It's just that Gao Qiaonan has always had a repayment mentality for Qian Tiandun's appreciation, and is willing to do everything for Qian Tiandun. Therefore, he has always been relatively low-key. The outside world often only knows Qian Tiandun's name, but they don't understand Gao Qiaonan's role in this team. key role in the military.

Qian Tiandun has a high prestige in the military, but he still has to obey the arrangements of the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense for the appointment and promotion of naturalized officers. Although Takahashi Minami is useful and loyal, as he just said, his background is a big problem that cannot be completely solved.

In the time-traveling group, even a kid like Chen Yixin, who was still a high school student when he time-traveled, has a vision and knowledge far beyond that of an adult in this time and space, and his understanding of the executive committee's various governing philosophies is far better than that of a naturalized person. civil. Naturalized officers such as Takahashi Minami and Takemori who have certain command authority in the Haihan Army can indeed complete the task of commanding operations relatively well. However, due to differences in world views, it is difficult for the Executive Committee to let them go. Stand alone. Troops stationed overseas will generally have time travelers who have the highest decision-making power in the local area, and it is not entirely naturalized officers who have the final say.

Luo Wudan wanted Qian Tiandun to hand over the special operations group to Gao Qiaonan, and then retire behind the scenes and return to Sanya as an official. It can only be said that this idea is theoretically feasible, but in fact Qian Tiandun is very Know that this is unlikely to happen. Since the number of generals in the Haihan military is limited, the Executive Committee will not let him retire now, nor will it completely transfer the combat command of the special operations group to Takahashi Minami. For a long period of time in the future, the Haihan military will continue the existing power structure, that is, with the existing dozen or so senior generals who are time travelers as the core, supplemented by a large number of naturalized grassroots officers, and the main force in combat The troops must insist on using the time traveler general as the chief officer to ensure that the troops can be loyal to the executive committee to the greatest extent.

It's just that Qian Tiandun's explanation is a bit misleading to women. What Luo Wudan wants to achieve is to let her husband do what he wants, instead of listening to his reasons why he can't do it.

"Then you and Yan Chujie make a change, let him go out to lead the troops to fight, and you guard the Ministry of National Defense stall in Sanya. This makes sense!" Luo Wudan said angrily: "If he doesn't agree, I Go to his house and block the door!”

Qian Tiandun couldn't laugh or cry and said: "How is this possible! How can it be so easy to become a minister? If I were to take Lao Yan's seat, I would be beaten by these local warlords who come every day to ask for military expenses, equipment and soldiers. So annoying.”

Although the Haihan Army is powerful and invincible, various resources, including the military budget, are actually in a situation of being in short supply all year round. New weapons have been developed in Sanya, and the military leaders want to win the opportunity for their troops to be the first to install them. No one would think that the size of the army under their command is too large, so every time there is an expansion quota, everyone must grab it. The army and navy must compete, and the two armies must also compete within themselves. Everyone wants to obtain more resources for their own troops.

Of course Qian Tiandun would do the same thing. For example, in order to expand and upgrade the special operations battalion, he would basically report to the Ministry of National Defense and the Executive Committee every two months. The main target of this method is naturally the national defense. Minister Yan Chujie. It was really hard for him to imagine how Yan Chujie could deal with the resource requirements of many generals. This kind of thing could never be settled equally. No matter how it was dealt with, it would definitely attract complaints and dissatisfaction from many people, and Qian Tiandun didn't like official socializing. His temper may not be able to handle such a situation at all.

Of course Luo Wudan knew Qian Tiandun's temperament, but faced with her husband's excuses, it was really difficult for her to accept everything. If she wanted to break things down and reason slowly, she knew that she would definitely not be able to convince Qian Tiandun. After all, Qian Tiandun was a professional in the military field. But if she wanted to make trouble, she, as a highly educated intellectual, Women can't do this. She didn't know how to continue the conversation, so she simply stopped taking Qian Tiandun's words.

As soon as Qian Tiandun saw his wife's face, he knew that the matter was not over, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Now that we are out, let's stop thinking about these unhappy things and have fun and relax. I haven't had a holiday in some days." ”

"The last time you took a vacation was the winter before last!" Luo Wudan responded angrily. In the winter before last, the Haihan Army and the Houjin Army were in a confrontation at the Jinzhou Isthmus. The two sides tacitly agreed to a truce during the winter break, and Qian Tiandun took the opportunity to go south for a vacation with his family. After that, Qian Tiandun returned to the front line, and last winter led his troops south to prepare for the attack on Manila. Indeed, he had not enjoyed a vacation for more than a year.

"How about going to Wuzhizhou? I heard that the executive committee allocated special funds to build a sea resort there. The beach and sea view are superb. Several people have recommended it to me since I came back this time." Qian Tiandun said softly. He hugged his wife's shoulders and said softly: "It's a rare opportunity to enjoy the world between two people, so don't worry about those troubles!" Before the two came out this time, they left their son in the care of a dedicated person. Of course, they wanted to enjoy this rare opportunity. quiet vacation. Although there was no clear destination when he set out, Qian Tiandun actually had several plans in mind. Now that he is anxious to appease his wife, he naturally has to immediately throw out a vacation plan to divert his wife's attention.

In fact, Luo Wudan didn't know that Qian Tiandun was deliberately changing the topic and didn't want to discuss the issue of residence choice anymore, but she really couldn't resist the temptation of enjoying a wonderful vacation with her husband. After all, she wants Qian Tiandun to be transferred back to Sanya, isn't it just to be able to live and sleep with him?

Wuzhizhou Island is not far from Victory Port. It is actually located in Haitang Bay near Tielugang in the east of Sanya. Starting from Victory Port and bypassing Yalong Bay, then turning north and walking along the coast for a while, you can see this area. A small green island with just over one square kilometer. This island was a 5A scenic spot called "Lover's Island" in the time and space they lived in before, and the scenery goes without saying much.

Among Haihan's current ruling areas, the area near Sanya is undoubtedly the safest and most stable, so most of the official resorts built specifically for travelers are also in this area. Of course, Wuzhizhou Island is still an undeveloped and uninhabited island in this time and space, but travelers know that this place has beautiful scenery, so they closed the island early in the name of the executive committee. It was only in the past two years that they began to Build resort facilities on the island. Of course, all the facilities on this island are not open to the public and only accommodate special groups of people, mainly travelers. As for all daily maintenance and operating expenses, they are covered by special funds allocated by the executive committee, which can be regarded as a special benefit for the public.

However, in order to prevent someone from "occupying" the island's resort facilities all year round, the executive committee has stipulated that each person's vacation time on the island cannot exceed one month per year - this also takes into account the number of travelers and the reception of the island's facilities. A standard set after ability.

But in fact, after the opening of Wuzhizhou Island Resort, the situation that the executive committee was worried about did not happen. It is true that some people who came to this time and space together have chosen to give up being officials and enjoy life as rich people with a lot of free time. However, these people have often been in places like Yalong Bay. I bought real estate and built a large manor with better living conditions on my own. I actually don’t have much interest in the officially operated resort. I just went to try it out when it was first opened, and I might not go there even once in a year or two. However, many people would rather spend more time and money to spend their vacation in a fresher environment, going south to Ambon Island or north to Penghu to spend their vacation.

Most of the people who are still involved in governing the country are often too busy to do anything else. There are also many people like Qian Tiandun who do not take long vacations throughout the year. Let alone staying in a resort for a month, staying for a week is considered good. When Wuzhizhou Island's business is relatively good, it's actually only during the National Day period at the end of the year and the first half of the year. During this period, the most people go to the island for vacation.

When Haihan held the National Day celebration two days ago, some people who did not want to attend the military parade chose to come here for vacation. Fortunately, Qian Tiandun had made preparations in advance and booked a sea vacation home on the island early. Otherwise, if he had to come to stay for a few days at this juncture, the island might not be able to provide reception.

At the speed of the Speedy, it only takes half a day to sail from the waters off Victory Port to Wuzhizhou Island. However, this eye-catching catamaran sailing boat still attracted the attention of many people when it docked at Wuzhizhou Island Pier.

Naturally, those who vacationed on the island knew this ship, and some of them were even lucky enough to ride on it. Although this ship and another slightly smaller Lightning are both privately owned by the North American Gang, they have not actually gone to sea much in recent years, nor have they undertaken military missions as often as they did in the early days. The North American gang members are all away from home all year round, and only the bearded Johnson, who has been in Sanya for a long time, still sails out to sea from time to time.

The first reaction of people who saw the ship docking was naturally to think that Johnson was taking his two daughters on vacation. However, after the ship stopped, it was Qian Tiandun and Luo Wudan who got off the ship.

After the boat docked, someone immediately came to confirm their identities and then led the couple to the vacation home they had booked on the island. As for their personal luggage on the ship, naturally someone will send it there for them later.

Although Qian Tiandun rarely returned to Sanya and changed into casual clothes, people vacationing on the island still recognized him upon meeting him. During the short journey to the holiday home, many people took the initiative to say hello to them.

"It seems I'm quite popular?" Qian Tiandun showed off to his wife with a smile: "It's not easy for someone like me who rarely shows up in Sanya to have so many people recognize me!"
< br>

Luo Wudan also smiled and said: "Then do you want to consider staying in Sanya and let more people know you?"

Qian Tiandun laughed twice and did not dare to answer the question. He finally managed to get over this topic, and naturally he didn't want to get entangled with his wife about it anymore.
