Chapter 2890
Although the garrison commanders in these places in the South China Sea have the idea of not being reconciled to the status quo, due to various objective conditions, they have always been able to obey the arrangements of the Executive Committee and maintain the stability of the South China Sea as their primary goal. They cannot let go. Hands and feet.
But the arrival of Qian Tiandun and the special forces division was equivalent to releasing a lively catfish into this calm pond. If they choose to continue to lie still, they will probably just watch helplessly as Qian Tiandun seizes military exploits in various places in the South China Sea.
The smartest thing to do is to join forces with Qian Tiandun and apply to the Executive Committee together to obtain the authority to organize foreign military operations. As for whether the garrison troops in various places will form a coalition or act separately, that is a matter of detail that does not affect the overall situation.
After all, Yan Chujie is a member of the military. Since these colleagues who are over fifty years old are determined to continue to contribute to the country, he will definitely not stop them. It's just that he cannot control the decision-making of the Executive Committee alone. He still has to make it clear to Qian Tiandun about the possible variables in this matter.
Yan Chujie said: "If you follow your plan, then at least four divisions of the army and three armed fleets will be involved in the entire South China Sea area, and the relevant military operations are likely to last for a long time. But this large-scale The deployment of troops during military operations requires the coordination of multiple regions, and the Executive Committee will definitely be cautious and is unlikely to make a decision quickly.”
Qian Tiandun said: "The decision-making speed of the Executive Committee depends on the preparation status of the garrison troops in various places. If all places can make relevant preparations as soon as possible and make the Executive Committee aware of the necessity of this action, I think there should be Help the Executive Committee make decisions as quickly as possible.”
Qian Tiandun's words meant that other places should stop waiting to see the situation and take action as soon as possible. But he can only take the lead in this matter, but does not have the power to issue orders to other troops. The Ministry of National Defense needs to speak out to be effective.
Yan Chujie smiled and said: "We can discuss these details in person in a few days when everyone is here. If we can reach an agreement, I will report the results of the talks to the executive committee as soon as possible."
People like Yan Chujie don't have that much time to visit overseas colonial areas and consult local officials one by one. For the sake of efficiency, of course, these officials will be summoned to one place for a meeting to discuss in person the important issues that need to be resolved.
So on his way south to Cam Ranh Port, he notified Manila and Sing Tao to have the local garrison commanders meet at Cam Ranh Port. It is the correct and prudent approach to wait until the conditions of all parties are negotiated before submitting the action plan to the executive committee.
Qian Tiandun said: "I would like to add that after the announcement of this plan, we must consider the possible reactions of various countries in the South China Sea. We must do a good job in communication, otherwise some areas may fall into chaos."

Yan Chujie said: "Don't worry, these countries are very well-informed. I estimate that many people will come to visit us before we officially announce it."
The special operations division's stationing in Cam Ranh Port is not a secret operation, and such a large-scale troop mobilization is bound to attract the attention of interested people. Nowadays, Yan Chujie, Feng Annan, and Qian Tiandun, all the heavyweights of the Haihan military, appear in Cam Ranh Port at the same time. Anyone who is not too slow can smell something unusual.
The core of Cam Ranh Port is Haihan's military base, but Haihan does not operate it as a simple military port. Many industries have been introduced one after another, many of which include commercial institutions from other countries. In the past, if the garrison at Cam Ranh Port wanted to carry out combat missions, they would often put the entire port under military control and suspend the free entry and exit of merchant ships and civilian ships. Therefore, local business organizations are also extremely sensitive to the movements of the garrison. If there is any slight disturbance, there will be no small reaction.
And the reality is just as Yan Chujie said, just after their meeting ended, representatives from other countries stationed in Cam Ranh Port came to visit relevant officials soon. The person with the most sensitive sense of smell is a businessman from Portugal. This businessman named Gabriel is said to be the nephew of Costa, the administrator of Malacca Colony. He runs a business inn and a spice farm with an area of more than 200 acres in Cam Ranh Port. plantation.
Of course, Haihan also knew that Gabriel's mission in Cam Ranh Port was not just to run a business. He was also responsible for collecting various information and maintaining diplomatic communication with Haihan officials.
The person Gabriel requested to meet was Sun Jian'an, who was in charge of local commercial shipping. He hoped that Sun Jian'an could explain to him the reason why Haihan suddenly deployed troops at Cam Ranh Port recently to ensure that Portuguese merchant ships entering and leaving Cam Ranh Port in the near future would not be affected. Influence.
"Dear Sir, in the second half of the year, at least five batches of merchant ships from our country will go south from the north, passing through Cam Ranh Port to Goa Port. All the harvest from my spice plantation this year will also be transported back to the country by these merchant ships. If the military in Cam Ranh Port The control will affect the entry and exit of merchant ships. Please be sure to tell me so that I can have time to make adjustments to the shipping schedule.”
Sun Jian'an listened with a smile, but he didn't think so in his heart. He generally knew the local business situation of the Portuguese. The spices harvested by Gabriel's plantation in previous years were usually shipped in late autumn. There were still several months to go. There was no need to adjust the shipping schedule so early. It was just to find It's just an excuse to get some information.
"Mr. Gabriel, the recent troop garrison at Cam Ranh Port is just a normal deployment of our military and will not affect the operation of the commercial port for the time being. If military control is to be implemented, we will definitely notify everyone."
Although he disapproved of this kind of inquiring about information, Sun Jianan still patiently gave an explanation. However, such a reply does not seem to dispel the other party's curiosity.
Gabriel then asked: "But I heard that your country's General Yan Chujie, General Qian Tiandun, and General Feng Annan came to Cam Ranh Port together. Is this really just an ordinary defense change?"
Seeing that the other party refused to give up, Sun Jianan stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "According to the agreement signed by our two countries, all legal industries within the jurisdiction of the other party will be protected. Do you think the industries in Cam Ranh Port are protected?" Not safe enough? ”
Of course Gabriel denied this. After all, there seemed to be not many safer places in the entire South China Sea than here.
He rolled his eyes and changed his explanation: "You also know that our country has industries in many places in the South China Sea. I just want to confirm with you that in the next period of time, there will be no war in the South China Sea, nor will there be any war in the South China Sea." It affects our country’s industries.”
Seeing that the industry limited to Cam Ranh Port was not significant enough, Gabriel had no choice but to expand the scope to find out what Sun Jianan was talking about.
