Chapter 2893
Qian Tiandun knew in his heart that the funds, tactics, and strategies he mentioned were not the fundamental issues that restricted the actions of the leaders of the South China Sea. What war bonds and long-term operations are not actually what they care about.
There is actually only one condition these generals really need, and that is the permission and support of the Executive Committee.
These generals in Nanhai have many people, money, and experience in overseas operations. Although their equipment is not as sophisticated as that of special operations divisions, they are more than enough to deal with potential opponents in the region. If it weren't for the constraints of the executive committee, I'm afraid everyone would have gone their separate ways.
However, the meeting on the surface still needs to clarify the objective difficulties. Even if it is compiled, it must come up with a few decent reasons, so as not to make the executive committee feel that its binding force on the local armed forces is not strong enough.
These people present are all veterans who have been in charge of the military for many years. How can they not know the reason? They will naturally cooperate with Qian Tiandun and let him slowly demonstrate the feasibility of the action plan.
Even Yan Chujie, who came here on behalf of the Executive Committee to inspect the military situation, actually understood what these people were playing. However, from the standpoint of the military, instead of exposing these people's tricks, he would choose to cooperate with them to advance. this matter.
After all, these generals who lead troops overseas are Yan Chujie's base. A large part of the reason why he can occupy a top position in the executive committee all year round is because of the support provided by generals from all walks of life. Of course, Yan Chujie will give them appropriate rewards when the time is right.
In short, the executive committee must believe that it has solved these problems and provided sufficient support to the overseas generals before the relevant action plans can be implemented. This is the correct process.
It is not that no one has tried to do this in the past, but the major jurisdictions in the South China Sea are too far apart. If you want to take the lead in organizing, firstly, you lack sufficient influence. Secondly, it is difficult to take into account the interests of all parties. In addition, the country’s The focus of development has always been on the north, and the executive committee is unwilling to let them loose. As time went by, no results were seen, and the generals became too lazy to bother.
But this time Qian Tiandun led the special forces division south, and the right time, place and people finally came together. Qian Tiandun had enough prestige and appeal, and had a long-prepared action plan. Also, as the external environment changed, the country no longer needed to pour a large amount of military resources into the north. The external expansion plan based on the South China Sea was finally able to reach the generals. The stage where we sit down and discuss the details of the action.
On the first day of the meeting, everyone reached a preliminary agreement on the joint action, which was smoother than Qian Tiandun expected.
"Gao Qiaonan, what do you think after listening today?" After the meeting, Qian Tiandun asked Gao Qiaonan for his opinion.
Takahashi Minami responded: "I think that although they agree with their mouths, they may not agree with it in their hearts. Especially General Roger, he doesn't seem to have a good deal with the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense."
Qian Tiandun said: "The Star Island where Roger is stationed is far away from the mainland of our country. He has been acting arbitrarily overseas all year round, so it is inevitable that he will be a little unruly. However, judging from his performance, it may be that there is some discord with Sanya. He will look for opportunities later. Ask around.”
Takahashi Nandao: "If our troops want to go south, there is a high probability that they will not be able to bypass General Roger's jurisdiction. We have to think carefully about how to cooperate with him in the future."
Qian Tiandun said: "Are you worried that he will cause trouble and not cooperate with us? I don't think there is anything to worry about. The purpose of our planning of this operation is not to compete with the generals in Nanhai for battle glory. What he wants to get from it is, It should all come true.”
Gao Qiaonan said: "So the general already knows their purpose?" Qian Tiandun said with a smile: "It's not just them, but also us. What is the purpose of serving in the army for half a life? When it comes to fame and wealth, we people have already After earning enough, there is not much room for further advancement. The only thing that drives us to do something now is the long-cherished wish of our youth and the benefit of future generations.”
"It is very common for military generals to inherit their father's legacy from their sons. As far as I know, Feng Annan, Xiao Liang, and Luo Jie all have children who are serving in the military. The bigger the territory they have laid now, the more likely future generations will inherit it. Even if it is just for the sake of their own future generations, they will seize this opportunity to perform well without having to worry about anyone being in trouble.”
Takahashi Nan was silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously, acknowledging Qian Tiandun's statement.
Compared with these Haihan generals, Gao Qiaonan is actually a more pure soldier. He has served Qian Tiandun for more than 20 years. He is alone and has no worries. He has long decided to dedicate his life to his master. But he also understood that his only strength was marching and fighting. If he took off this military uniform, he might not be able to do as much for Qian Tiandun as a cook, so he would definitely support Qian Tiandun unconditionally when it comes to coming to fight in the South China Sea. idea.
But precisely because of this, it was difficult for him to empathize with the thoughts and plans of other Haihan generals like Qian Tiandun.
But this is not important. For Takahashi Minami, it is enough to know who he is fighting for.
Due to the tacit understanding reached at the previous day's meeting, the agenda of the next day's meeting quickly advanced to the details of the action.
The generals who were not interested in the conditions mentioned by Qian Tiandun yesterday finally cheered up after they started talking about the details of the operation.
Qian Tiandun's action plan is mainly divided into three directions. One is the line from New Guinea to the southeast of the Philippine Islands, the Bismarck Islands and the Solomon Islands.
The second is Kalimantan and Sulawesi, south of the Philippine Islands.
After completing the cleanup in these two directions, you can continue southward and cross the Java Sea to establish a base in northern Australia.
If we take the island chain that forms the outline of the South China Sea as a boundary and look at this area that Haihan has not set foot on on a map, its area even far exceeds Haihan's current territory.
Correspondingly, there is a third direction, exploring the Malay Peninsula and the Indian Ocean west of Sumatra. The external resistance that may be encountered in this direction is the opponent that Haihan needs to deal with seriously.
Western colonists entered this area much earlier than Haihan. As a latecomer who has risen strongly in the East, once Haihan enters this area, he will inevitably be regarded by his Western colleagues as the most threatening competitor. Conflicts overt and covert will definitely be inevitable.
Even nominal partners such as Portugal and the Netherlands may not treat Haihan with courtesy when the time comes. After all, they will still have to rely on their strength to speak for themselves.
