Chapter 2609

The mission was actually carried out in the name of a troop exchange, or in other words, it was completed in the name of a mission. No matter which official explanation was adopted in the end, this operation was essentially a show of force and a routine attempt to intimidate neighboring countries. Cruise.

Wang Anguo did not elaborate on the intended purpose of this armed parade, because it already involved some high-level secrets, which could not be disclosed at will even if the people present were all second-generation wearers with special identities. However, Tao Hongfang and others are not ignorant of the country's diplomatic strategy, and they can guess some clues.

Tao Hongfang said: "According to our country's past diplomatic approach, North Korea and Japan are very different from each other. This visit only arranged a joint exercise with the North Korean Navy. It seems that we are going to stage a drama of fighting against each other again?"

Wang Anguo responded with a smile: "Japan has never been too honest. Beating it from time to time will help them understand their own strength and positioning."

Japan has sent troops to attack North Korea many times in history, and Japanese pirates have wreaked havoc on the coasts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time. They even had deep quarrels with Haihan in the early years, so Wang Anguo's evaluation is not exaggerated.

Of course, with Haihan's acting style, he would not show mercy to such a thorny Japanese country. In the early years, in order to hunt down the remaining forces of the Shiba Shiba, Kaihan sent troops to fight across the sea many times at any cost, carrying out force attacks on the Hirado Domain, and ultimately completely erasing it from Japan's political map. However, this kind of labor-intensive expedition consumes a lot of money but has little profit. Haihanzhi was on the East Asian continent and had no intention of annexing the corner and resource-poor areas of Japan through military means. Even if the force of force prevailed, he did not expand the scale of the war later.

However, in order to warn this bellicose country not to repeat the same mistakes, necessary military deterrence must be maintained for a long time, so garrisoning troops and irregular armed patrols have become relatively cost-effective means of deterrence.

As for organizing joint military exercises with North Korea, they may not have much of an intimidating effect on Japan, because the exercise waters are at most arranged in the Tsushima Strait or the Sea of ​​Japan on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, which is still far away from the core area of ​​Japan. . With the speed of information dissemination in this era, if Haihan did not take the initiative to inform him, the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo might have to wait three to five months, or even longer, before receiving piecemeal information from various channels. When Shadi learned the news about the exercise, it had already lost its deterrence effect by then.

Tao Hongfang and others knew little about these situations, and thought that the East China Sea Fleet's intention was to pull one faction to fight the other. However, in fact, Haihan's diplomatic and military strategies for the two countries were formulated separately, and the correlation was not that strong. Joint military exercises may use the Japanese navy as the imaginary enemy, but this is only to take care of the emotions of the North Koreans, and its strength may not be recognized by the navy. If Haihan wants to attack Japan again one day, the North Korean Navy will still be able to do what it did in the past. At most, it will be responsible for some transportation and supply work during the war, rather than acting as the main force on the battlefield.

After Wang Anguo gave a brief explanation of the defensive change, seeing that no one asked any more questions, he left first and went back to his room to rest. He had to go to Suzhou early the next morning to discuss matters related to material procurement, which involved money transactions, so he had to keep his spirits up and keep his head clear.

After Wang Anguo left, Tao Hong finally said, "Do you think what he just said is credible?"

Ha Jianyi asked: "Which incident are you referring to? Is it about that trading company or the visit to North Korea and Japan?"

Tao Hongfang smiled and said: "It's not my turn to make irresponsible remarks on matters in the military... Of course I am referring to the matters of the commercial bank."

Ha Jianyi waved his hand and said: "I don't understand this either, so let's discuss it." Ning Zijing said: "I feel that what he said should be basically true, but there are still some things that he has not told us."


"How do you say that?" Tao Hongfang asked.

Ning Zijing said: "This trading company is indeed very low-key. Even you, who works in the Ministry of Commerce, don't know its existence. But I think their purpose is to find some better-located land in Hangzhou for use in There is no need to spend so much money on future operations. Or to put it another way, there are many better places to choose from than next to this train station.”

"You mean Hangzhou New Town?" Tao Hongfang came to his senses.

Ning Zijing nodded and said: "That's right. I think if they really want to acquire land, it must be more than the one you know about. That place may just be a piece of land conveniently included in their acquisition plan. Wang Anguo just said that He explained the purchase process of the land, but he said nothing about their business plan here. "

Haihan wants to move the capital from Hainan Island to Hangzhou. The existing urban layout and infrastructure environment are obviously unable to meet the requirements of the Executive Committee. Therefore, in the capital relocation plan, more complete functions and layout will be built outside Hangzhou City. A more reasonable new city will serve as the future administrative center of the empire.

The scale of this part of the infrastructure project is of course more than a hundred times larger than that of Hangzhou Railway Station, and it will also drive the rapid appreciation of the surrounding land. If someone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to hoard land and make a profit, and has the corresponding information channels, there will actually be a lot of room for choice.

Of course, this kind of benefit is definitely not available to ordinary people, but the trading firm established by Wang Anguo and others already has the participation of the Shi family, so it is probably easy to obtain resources in this area. Judging from their approach to acquiring land near the train station, they should not let go of the new city area with promising development prospects.

Tao Hongfang suddenly figured out the key: "So the information he just told us was not to admit that they had subscribed to the land, but to take this opportunity to let us understand the background of that firm and let us Get out of trouble as soon as possible and stop getting in the way!”

The income that such a piece of land near the train station can bring may not be ignored for ordinary merchants, but for people with their background, it may not be palatable. At most, it is used for business. It's just a comprehensive large store. If Wang Anguo had just said that he bought the land, Tao Hongfang's investigation work could have been stopped. However, he admitted the background of the business bank very "superfluously", which seemed to be superfluous, but Now it seems that it has a clear purpose.

If there are ten, one hundred, or one thousand pieces of land with appreciation potential in the Gyeonggi region in the future, then no one can turn a blind eye to the huge benefits involved.
