Chapter 2607
If the person in charge of the Department of Land and Resources is just an official with an ordinary background, then the accusation made by Tao Hongfang is undoubtedly a very serious crime, and may even directly lead to the person involved being dismissed from office and facing charges. But as a second-generation wearer with a special status, the things Shi Chengxin did were nothing at all, they were just basic daily operations. Even if someone reports it to the superiors, it will probably not have a substantial impact on Shi Chengxin's status.
Wang Anguo's response actually reminded Tao Hongfang that the land purchase procedure was complete from beginning to end, and there were no problems in terms of the process. If you want to find faults and cause trouble, it is unlikely to achieve your goal.
Tao Hongfang was thinking at this time that since Wang Anguo had confessed that the boss behind the company was a member of the North American Gang, including himself, then theoretically Shi Chengxin should be one of them. I went to the Department of Land and Resources to investigate the land subscription today. Maybe Shi Chengxin turned around and informed Wang Anguo and discussed countermeasures. That's why Wang Anguo would find an opportunity to explain the inside story and try to gently expose this matter.
It is hard to say whether the operations of that firm in the land subscription process were really legal and compliant at that time, but after Tao Hongfang went to the Land and Resources Department, it is estimated that even if there were any omissions, Shi Chengxin had already started to repair them and would not give them to Tao Hongfang again. Leave an opportunity to find fault.
However, Tao Hongfang does not regret his initiative. Although it seems a bit reckless, if he had not done so and only collected some fragmentary information from the outside through channels like Dai Shao, it would probably be difficult to get to the truth of the matter. .
Judging from Wang Anguo's attitude, Tao Hongfang can roughly determine that the other party's purpose is to calm the situation and prevent the situation from expanding further.
The trading firm established by Wang Anguo and others has been established for many years, but it has remained unknown. Even Tao Hongfang, who is in the Ministry of Commerce, has not noticed its existence. This shows that they have always kept a low profile and do not want to attract attention from the outside world. Now Tao Hongfang is investigating the land transactions related to him. In order to avoid more trouble, it is naturally better to take the initiative to talk to Tao Hongfang about the matter.
Although the two parties involved in this matter were both second-generation people with similar backgrounds, they had not had much interaction before this. Shi Chengxin probably did not have the confidence to resolve the matter, so he asked Wang Anguo to come forward to make peace. If Tao Hongfang still refuses to give up, it will probably be regarded as deliberately looking for trouble.
Of course, Tao Hongfang had no intention of offending the Shi family for such a thing. Now that Wang Anguo had spoken out, he just wanted to give Wang Anguo some face.
However, Tao Hongfang secretly paid attention to another matter. After returning to Sanya, he would like to take some time to investigate the situation of the North American Gang's children and see what these former military bosses have given their descendants. What kind of development route has been arranged, and whether this firm has always been law-abiding and has not violated the rules in its business operations, as Wang Anguo said.
Regarding the prestige of the North American Gang in its early years, Tao Hongfang had vaguely heard his parents mention something about it. However, these former military generals have long lost the influence they had back then. They either retired to take care of themselves or retired from the army and changed careers. The remaining people have lived overseas for a long time, far away from the center of power in Sanya. But whether their descendants will be content with being ordinary is not certain.
Tao Hongfang came to Hangzhou this time and met the Shi brothers and Wang Anguo. He also knew that their fathers had a good relationship, but he had not thought of the North American gang before. It was not until Wang Anguo took the initiative to inform Tao Hongfang that he remembered that there was indeed a group in his early years. Such an unofficial small circle. But he could not confirm at this time whether Wang Anguo mentioned it accidentally or wanted to use the reputation of the North American Gang to put pressure on him to give up the investigation.
However, Wang Anguo's foundation is no longer in the country, and Tao Hongfang has no scruples about him. On the contrary, the Shi family, which controls the military and political power of the East China Sea region, is the real local snake that cannot afford to offend.
Wang Anguo obviously did not want this issue to take up any more time, and took the initiative to change the topic to the aspect that everyone was interested in: "Since you have decided to visit with the East China Sea Fleet, how about I briefly explain the arrangements for the fleet's defense change, so that everyone can advance in advance Be prepared." This topic was obviously more attractive than boring land sales, and everyone immediately became energetic and urged him to explain quickly.
Wang Anguo said: "Currently, the East China Sea Fleet's overseas stations include Ganghwa Island, Jeju Island, and Busan Port in North Korea, as well as Sasebo Bay in Japan. Among them, the largest station is the naval base in Sasebo Bay."
The home port of the East China Sea Fleet is Dinghai Port in Zhoushan. The size of the naval forces stationed at Dinghai Port and along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang all year round accounts for about two-thirds of the East China Sea Fleet's establishment. The rest of the fleet is stationed at the seaports of North Korea and Japan. While guarding the maritime trade routes, it also maintains sufficient military deterrence against these two countries for a long time.
Troops stationed overseas will generally change defenses every two years. Of course, this kind of defense change does not replace all the local troops stationed in one go, but is done in batches. Under non-wartime conditions, there will be a change of defense every three months. arrange.
For large-scale defense changes, ships and other large equipment in the area often need to return to Dinghaiport for in-depth maintenance and repairs. The commander of the East China Sea Fleet will make corresponding arrangements, which only happens once every two to three years. The defense change operation that the East China Sea Fleet is preparing to implement this time belongs to the latter.
According to the defense change plan, some ships from these overseas stations will return to Zhoushan Dinghai Port after completing the defense handover, and the East China Sea Region will also use this opportunity to conduct military visits to Japan and North Korea.
Tao Hongfang heard this and asked: "Since it is a formal military visit, there must be important people visiting? Will Uncle Shi's father go on his own, or will Shi Chengwu be sent as a representative?"
Wang Anguo said: "Uncle Shi has been busy with government affairs recently, and he should be unable to escape. Therefore, Shi Chengwu will serve as the envoy for this trip, and I will serve as the deputy envoy."
After the fleet led by Wang Anguo completes its mission with the East China Sea Fleet, it will continue eastward across the Pacific to the colonies established by Haihan in North America. He and Shi Chengwu were both from famous families, and they both served in the military, so it was natural for them to serve as envoys.
Of course, Tao Hongfang and others will join temporarily this time. They are actually representatives of the Haihan Executive Committee. In this way, the weight of the mission will be even greater.
However, since it was an envoy, it was not just a casual trip, so Wang Anguo had to explain some diplomatic details to them in advance.
