Chapter 3005
While Li Yuande was thinking about what to say, Tan Tianlei had already taken the initiative to approach him: "Yuande, you should have spent the most time in Sanya among everyone here. What do you think the article in the Times is about?"
The ship responsible for transporting the "Haihan Times" to Xingdao is a ship that runs from Sanya to Xingdao every ten days, and it is the shipping company under Qiong Lianfa that operates the ship. Naturally, there are differences with the major shareholder Furifeng. Small relationship. Therefore, "Haihan Times" was delivered to Li Yuande even earlier than these people here.
Li Yuande had indeed read the long newspaper report on the military operations in the Luzon Region. However, when he read these reports, he was more concerned about the details of the battle rather than the subsequent impact.
The question Tan Tianlei asked at this time obviously had nothing to do with the performance of the local Haihan Army on the battlefield, but to understand the attitude of Sanya. This was indeed a bit over the top for Li Yuande, a businessman.
However, Li Yuande had a hard time entering this circle. If he shirks the blame and refuses to answer, it will inevitably make others look down on him, so he has to bite the bullet and say a few words.
"My little knowledge is limited. If there is anything wrong with what I said, please give me some advice."
Li Yuande paused for a moment, seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and then continued: "It is actually a tradition for the Times to report in detail on our country's overseas military operations. After all, our Haihan Army is always victorious, and our people are also Love seeing this kind of uplifting news. ”
"From the newspapers, this battle in the Luzon Region can be called a great victory. In more than two months, the Spaniards were unable to fight back, and the actual control area of the Luzon Region doubled. It is reasonable to spend more space reporting on the progress of the local war and showing off your achievements.”
"This article does not mention the situation in the direction of Malacca. Presumably it is to avoid increasing pressure on Sing Tao! After you have made achievements on the battlefield, you will definitely see similar articles in the newspaper."
Tan Tianlei didn't seem very satisfied with Li Yuande's conservative attitude. He shook his head slightly and continued to ask other people for their opinions.
Luo Shenghuai said: "Use military means to carry out a new round of expansion in the South China Sea. This plan was first proposed by General Qian, and the first people to respond were General Feng and my father from Annan, from the Luzon Region. In fact, he was the last to join.”
Luo Shengding continued: "The so-called getting up early and rushing to the late market is talking about our Xingdao. This jackpot was snatched away by Luzon, which will have some adverse effects on us. The state's investment There is a cap on military spending in the South China Sea, and it may become more difficult to win more support from the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Defense in the future.”
If Qian Tiandun could also be present to listen, you would find that the arguments of the Luo brothers are almost the same as those of their father Roger.
This seemed to be the answer Tan Tianlei wanted to hear. He nodded and said: "What you two said is absolutely true. We are delayed in moving due to various problems. It will inevitably make the superiors mutter, and maybe it will be harmful to us." Expectations will slowly turn into disappointment.”
Mu Zhennan and Wu Chengzhi were both Annan garrison officers and outsiders on Xingdao, so they were not eager to express their opinions on this topic. The two exchanged glances, and Mu Zhennan asked: "In Brother Tan's opinion, how should we deal with the current situation?"
Tan Tianlei said: "We have to take action to let Sanya know that we are not stopping to fish."
Wu Chengzhi said solemnly: "But all actions require orders from the coalition headquarters. How can we act rashly in private?"
Tan Tianlei said: "Then we can't just do nothing and keep waiting and watching. First, we can jointly submit a letter to the headquarters and ask several adults in the headquarters to order action as soon as possible."
When Tan Tianlei said this, his eyes glanced at Li Yuande. Although most of the people here are serving in the military, Li Yuande is the only one who actually works under Qian Tiandun. To convey this information to Qian Tiandun, there is no more suitable person than him at the moment.
But Li Yuande also knew very well how much he weighed. It might not be a good thing to show off in such a situation. He just kept silent at the moment, pretending not to notice Tan Tianlei's eyes.
Wu Chengzhi said: "Just submitting a letter may not have much practical effect. It is better to think about how to solve the problems that hinder our implementation of actions as soon as possible."
Based on the status of these people here, they are naturally aware of the most difficult problems at present. If these problems are not properly resolved, the action can only be postponed. Wu Chengzhi's suggestions are not unreasonable.
Ruan Zhengcheng said: "That's what I say, but there is not much we can do. Today's problems are all obvious and everyone knows it. Regarding military expenditures, how much can you all subsidize out of your own pocket? Regarding diplomacy, what can we do? Can you get started? You can only work harder on the combined exercises of each department and try to pass the assessment requirements of the headquarters as soon as possible.”
Mu Zhennan said: "Now that we have talked about it, I have some opinions. Are the collaborative operations assessment requirements formulated by the Joint Command a little too strict? Brother Ruan is a staff officer at the headquarters. Can you give some advice to the superiors? Opinions, adjust the assessment standards to be more reasonable? ”
Ruan Zhengcheng said: "The standards are set by a few adults. They can be changed as soon as they can. I heard that in order to take care of your troops stationed in Annan, they have been relaxed a lot in advance."
Mu Zhennan frowned and said: "Why do you think Brother Ruan means that if the troops fail to pass the test when they are training together, the responsibility for this falls entirely on us?"
Seeing that the two people were about to argue, Tan Tianlei quickly tried to persuade them to make peace: "We are now trying to solve the problem, not distinguish right from wrong. We are all brothers. Don't get angry."
Mu Zhennan snorted and did not continue, but he was obviously still dissatisfied with Ruan Zhengcheng's statement.
Although everyone is considered to be friends of the same generation, there are still differences in their backgrounds. Mu Zhennan's father, Mu Xiabai, is a veteran in the military, while Ruan Zhengcheng's father, Ruan Fu, is only a naturalized citizen of Annan origin. Mu Zhennan doesn't mention it, but in his heart he will still regard Ruan Zhengcheng as a member of his circle. outsiders.
"Wendong, you are the most mature and steady among us, why don't you tell us your opinion?" Tan Tianlei quickly drew everyone's attention to Han Wendong, the only one who did not speak.
Han Wendong said slowly: "I don't serve in the military, and I shouldn't have any say in military affairs, but everyone here is my brother, so I will just give you a few humble opinions."
"Everyone, even if one or two of the problems you just mentioned are solved, new problems will emerge. There is no such thing as a perfect time. To get the adults in the headquarters to agree to start, I think from the outside Find a way.”
"If there is a reason to send troops immediately, then many problems can be ignored."
