Chapter 2904
When Qian Tiandun proposed that the special warfare division be transferred from Liaodong to the South China Sea, all parties in the South China Sea were very cautious about this, lest this powerful dragon come to the South China Sea and steal their limelight. However, when Qian Tiandun came up with a plan for external expansion and left enough room for all parties in the South China Sea to develop, these military leaders quickly realized the development opportunities contained in it, and their attitudes changed from wary to wary. Gotta get excited.
Yan Chujie saw all these changes in his eyes, and felt mixed in his heart.
Fortunately, Qian Tiandun's plan has been recognized by all parties in the South China Sea. As long as it is implemented accordingly, Haihan will surely usher in a new round of territory expansion in this direction in the next few years. When all the forces in the South China Sea have something to do, they will shift their energy from internal involvement to external affairs, giving the younger generation more opportunities to venture out.
What is worrying is that although all parties are interested in participating, their ideas are not unified. Everyone has their own little calculations, and their attitudes of not buying each other's ideas have been put on the table. If we expect these people to coordinate and cooperate with each other in future actions, there will obviously be many difficulties that need to be overcome.
During the meeting at Cam Ranh Port, Yan Chujie could clearly feel that as the strength of various overseas colonial areas continued to grow, the Executive Committee's control over these areas was gradually weakening, and the garrison commanders in various parts of the South China Sea were more or less Some are ambitious and unwilling to stick to the status quo. It is still impossible to predict whether Qian Tiandun's plan will strengthen their attachment to the country or fuel their personal ambitions.
However, the benefits of this matter definitely outweigh the disadvantages for the country, so even though there are still many uncertainties, Yan Chujie will still try his best to promote the implementation of Qian Tiandun's plan.
In the autumn of 1656, after Yan Chujie returned to Sanya, he immediately convened a meeting of the executive committee members and informed everyone of the general situation of the meeting between all parties in Cam Ranh Port.
“The entire operation is expected to invest more than 20,000 land and sea troops in all directions of the South China Sea, acquire ten to fifteen new overseas colonial areas within three years, more than double our control area around the South China Sea, and expand our control from Eliminate those unfriendly external forces within this scope." Yan Chujie briefly introduced the scale and general goals of this operation.
Ning Qi was the first to ask: "The addition of so many new colonial areas will inevitably require a large number of people to move to the local area. Can our immigration work keep up? Some time ago, Lao Bai sent a telegram back from Liaodong saying that the labor force there The demand gap is huge. We hope that the country can organize large-scale immigration operations as soon as possible to move people into Liaodong and develop local industries. Under the same conditions, we should deal with the needs of Liaodong first, right?”
Tao Donglai said: "Liaodong must be a priority. After all, it will be one of my country's important industrial bases in the future. Regarding the South China Sea, I want to know how these people who went to the Cam Ranh Port meeting plan to solve the population problem."
Yan Chujie responded: "The further away from the homeland, the higher the cost of organizing immigrants from within the country. So their idea is that the population structure can be adjusted slowly, with local residents as the basis in the early stage to realize the fact that my country is in the region Rule. Some of the colonies established by Western colonists can be packed and eaten instead of expelling all the people as in the past. ”
Gu Kai asked: "It's not impossible to do this, but the management cost will be very high in the future! Especially those Europeans, it will be very troublesome to manage." Ren Liang said: "As for the situation you mentioned, in fact, Manila There has long been a very complete system there. I think various local governments in the South China Sea should consider sending people to the Western Management Bureau in Manila to learn how they have managed the local European immigrants obediently over the years. ”
The Hispanic Administration in Manila is the product of the special local population structure and is specifically responsible for managing the Hispanic people who belong to the Manila authorities. The Western Management Bureau is an agency directly under the Manila Management Committee. Its biggest feature is that it has many Hispanic employees. It implements the management strategy of "using the West to control the West". In essence, it is an internal spy agency.
In order to maintain local social stability, the Manila authorities have extremely strict restrictions on the cultural, educational, political participation, military, business and other affairs of the Hispanic people under their rule. If there is any disloyalty or disrespect to Haihan, he will lose the qualification to enjoy these normal rights, and even his naturalization may be revoked, turning him into the bottom class of society who can only sell his labor to make a living.
Hispanics who are able to serve in the Western Management Bureau will enjoy extremely generous personal treatment, and will be repeatedly instilled with a sense of their special status. In order to gain their hard-won social status, these people will manage the local Hispanic personnel with a harsh attitude, because as long as any Hispanic personnel has a problem, it may affect their positions.
If Hispanic personnel want to get ahead, they basically have only two options. One is to be admitted to the Western Management Bureau through fierce competition, and the other is to sign up to join the army and accumulate military exploits to gain promotion. But if you want to take the second path, you also need to get approval from the Western Management Bureau before you are qualified to join the army.
Although this management method is a bit extreme, judging from the implementation results in the past few years, at least there has been no large-scale rebellion by Hispanics under Manila. Instead, many loyal Hispanic officials have emerged.
Ren Liang is in charge of Haihan's police department, and managing the various ethnic groups under Haihan's rule is one of his duties, so he has always been very concerned about the system implemented by the Manila authorities. When I went to Manila to inspect the work last time, I went to the Western Management Bureau to hold a symposium to understand the operation of this agency.
Although Gu Kai is in charge of the judicial institution of Haihan, he obviously does not pay enough attention to these overseas ruling areas, and he does not know how the people of these special ethnic groups are managed locally.
Tao Donglai said: "It is okay to continue Manila's practice, but I personally am not optimistic about getting many European immigrants from outside during this process. To consolidate the foundation of our country's rule in these overseas areas, in the long run, we still need to pass a large number of It can be achieved by moving in Han people and adjusting the population structure. But this problem can be solved slowly, and there is no need to rush into it. What solution did you come up with during the meeting? "
Yan Chujie looked at Schneider, who had remained silent, and said, "Qian Tiandun said that before he went south, he had talked with Schneider and planned to raise part of the funds for the operation by issuing war bonds."
