Chapter 3004
In order to promote the plan he led to the Executive Committee, Qian Tiandun stayed in Sanya for a period of time before going south to Xingdao. Therefore, he probably has a clearer view of the Executive Committee's attitude on the South China Sea issue than Roger.
As far as the direction of national development at this stage is concerned, the focus is undoubtedly on the East China Sea Region. Almost all official resources have to give priority to the needs of the capital relocation plan.
Although the military operations in the South China Sea were approved by the Executive Committee, the support they received was far from being comparable to the plan to move the capital.
Roger snorted and said: "As long as we firmly control the Strait of Malacca, the wealth that this region can create in the future will not be much worse than that of the East China Sea region. It is only a matter of time before we achieve self-sufficiency."
< br>
Qian Tiandun said meaningfully: "Even if you really have such capabilities one day, I suggest you not try to achieve self-sufficiency. It is not a bad thing for Xingdao to continue to rely on China in some important areas. ”
Roger heard the implications of Qian Tiandun's words and laughed a few times: "I'm just saying that with the current conditions of Xingdao, how can such a big goal be achieved in a short time?"
< br>
As an overseas region far away from Haihan's center of power, the most taboo thing is to completely decouple from the country. If everything can be self-sufficient and does not require domestic support, then this place may not be far from dividing the country.
Due to historical reasons, the executive committee's control over overseas regions is difficult to achieve through personnel adjustments, and it can only achieve indirect control by utilizing technical advantages in certain fields.
For now, it is difficult for overseas regions to produce and sell various military supplies, machinery and equipment, chemical products, pharmaceutical products, etc., and must rely on domestic supplies.
If Roger wants to achieve self-sufficiency in all these fields, he must first introduce related industries from the country. However, once the executive committee detects such signs, I am afraid that the important supplies to Star Island will be cut off immediately, leaving Luo Jay's plan was stillborn.
Of course, more importantly, if the Xingdao region wants to go in this direction, Roger will probably lose the trust of the executive committee because of this.
Roger realized this precisely after Qian Tiandun's reminder, so he quickly changed his tune. But if he doesn't really agree with Qian Tiandun's views, then only he himself knows.
The scheduled plan could not be started for a long time. Roger was anxious, but there was someone more anxious than him.
Located on the edge of Xingdao City, Wentai Building is a five-story building and one of the most high-end restaurants in the area.
Although the location is slightly out of the way, due to the excellent scenery and the excellent taste of the dishes, it does not affect the attendance rate of Wentai Building in the slightest. Some good spots to enjoy the view by leaning on the railings even require reservations several days in advance.
Today, the entrance of Wentai Building was full of horse-drawn carriages. Several of them are custom-made models that are rare in the local area. The conspicuous "one" pattern on the wheel hubs indicates that they are produced by Changhua Industry in Hainan Island. Haihan First Vehicle Manufacturing Plant in the district.
The cost of these customized carriages ranges from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, and they require a full-time groom to drive them. Their owners are either rich or noble people. And these people gathering together in Wentai Building will naturally attract the attention of interested people.
Someone went to the restaurant owner to inquire about the information, but the owner couldn't resist and finally said something: "Master Tan has arranged a banquet on the top floor. If you want to know the inside story, please go upstairs and ask yourself!"
There are many people with the surname Tan in Sing Tao, but there is only one who is known as "Master Tan" by the public, and that is Tan Tianlei, the eldest son of Sing Tao Chief Executive Tan Juren. In addition to this distinguished background, Tan Tianlei's official identity is the aide-de-camp of the garrison commander Roger. With these two identities superimposed, it would be difficult to find the second person in the Xingdao area. The title of Young Master Tan is well deserved.
The person who inquired about the information considered his identity and found that he was not qualified enough to take the initiative to greet Tan Tianlei and get close to him, so he had no choice but to give up the idea.
Someone who was overestimating his ability went upstairs and saw that there were many big soldiers standing next to the stairs leading to the top floor. Except for the waiters who were bringing food and wine upstairs, everyone was stopped. Obviously, Master Tan, who was the host, was not Uninvited guests are welcome to join.
This wasn't Tan Tianlei deliberately putting on airs. On the one hand, the guests invited today were all well-known people, and on the other hand, the topics discussed during the banquet were not suitable for outsiders, so he had to shield himself from other people.
"I believe you have all seen the recently published "Haihan Times", right? Now the Luzon Region is far ahead, but our side has been standing still. The two are completely at a disadvantage. What do you think?"
After three drinks, Tan Tianlei got to the point.
The guests invited today are all about the same age as Tan Tianlei, and they are all leaders of the younger generation.
Mu Zhennan, the commander of the Second Detachment of the South China Sea Fleet, Wu Chengzhi, the battalion commander of the Jinlan Independent Battalion of the Marine Corps, and Li Yuande, the director of the Furifeng South China Sea Cargo Fleet, are all young talents with profound backgrounds.
The lineup of local characters should not be underestimated either. Brothers Luo Shenghuai and Luo Shengding are both sons of Roger and are currently serving in the Lujiu Division.
Ruan Zhengcheng, staff officer of the Xingdao Garrison Command. His father, Ruan Phu, was born in Annam. He was originally an officer in the Annam militia under the Hai Han Army. He was transferred from Cam Ranh Bay to Xingdao in his early years. He was also considered one of the elders under Roger.
Han Wendong, director of the Operations Division of Singdao Police Station. His father, Han Zhengshan, was originally a head catcher in Hangzhou City. He was arrested for breaking into the secret activities of the Haihan Intelligence Department, but he luckily survived and was later sent to Xingdao as an immigrant. Because of his professional expertise, he was arrested. Activated and is still at the helm of the Sing Tao Police Department.
Except for Li Yuande, everyone present had public offices, and they basically inherited their father's business from son to son. They were like a second-generation official group.
Li Yuande was able to get the invitation, in addition to his status in Furifeng, and more importantly, of course, because he was someone who could talk to Qian Tiandun.
The internal restrictions of the special operations division are extremely strict. In addition to normal military exchanges, the officers have very few private contacts with the outside world. However, Li Yuande is not in the special warfare division establishment. He is just a temporarily recruited civilian personnel. He does not need to be subject to such restrictions. In addition to his professional reasons, it is naturally easier to deal with.
Li Yuande had been to Xingdao before, but he was just a casual acquaintance with Tan Tianlei and others. After going south with the special warfare division this time, he spent more time dealing with them in the army, and he gradually became familiar with them.
However, Li Yuande's status would still seem a little out of place when he was eating and drinking with this group of people, and he didn't quite understand the purpose of Tan Tianlei's gathering. It wasn't until the other party introduced the topic that he realized that they were probably using this to test the attitudes of all parties.
