Chapter 3033

"Good news! Good news! Our army has captured three islands in the South China Sea again!"

Several newsboys stood at the busiest intersection of Victory Avenue, shouting out today's major news.

Within the area covered by their cries, there are several of the most upscale teahouses and restaurants in the area, and people with money and leisure are coming in and out.

The place chosen by the newsboys was indeed a good one, but after some hawking, there were only a few takers, and there was no grand spectacle of people rushing to buy newspapers in order to catch a glimpse of the victory news.

In recent months, Hai Hanjun has become a regular guest on the front pages of several major newspapers. Every now and then, victory news from the South China Sea dominates the headlines. The public has become more or less accustomed to this.

However, most people just watch the excitement and talk after dinner. Few people can realize through these news why the recent frequent military operations in the South China Sea started and what their real purpose is. What is the impact on the country and themselves? , and what impact it will have.

"Man, go buy me a copy of the newspaper and bring it up."

The speaker was a dark-skinned young man. He took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a banknote, put it on the table, and said softly: "The rest is a reward."

"Master Tan, wait a minute, I will buy it for you right now." The waiter bowed to the young man first, then took the money from the table with a smile on his face and hurried downstairs. Obviously, this is not the first time he has received such an errand.

The five-storey Jingsi Loft next to the intersection is one of the most upscale teahouses in Sanya. But outside is Shengli Avenue, which runs through the port area of ​​the city. It is busy and bustling with traffic every day. I want to seek "quiet meditation" in this place. , which is naturally unlikely.

Although it is noisy around, it is not a good place to drink tea and meditate, but because it is located in the center of the city, the cost of Jingsi Pavilion is really not low.

The price of a cup of ordinary scented tea in Jingsi Pavilion is more than three times that of an ordinary teahouse. The railing on the fifth floor where the man surnamed Tan is sitting requires a minimum consumption of five yuan per person. This money is almost enough to stay in a small teahouse in Hong Kong for a month.

Although the price is high, high-end guests are everywhere in Sanya, and the Jingsi Pavilion with its excellent location is never short of guests. What's more, the purpose of some people coming to Jingsi Pavilion is not to drink tea. Spend money to buy a seat at this place, and over time you will naturally get some information that ordinary people have no access to.

Rich tea drinkers who really pursue tranquility and enjoy tea tasting will definitely not choose Jingsi Pavilion in the bustling city. There are several secluded tea gardens and teahouses in nearby Fenghuangling. They only accept regular customers. That is what they like. place to go.

Not long after, the clerk ran upstairs quickly and handed the newspaper with the scent of ink in his hands: "Master Tan, this is the newspaper you want. The express that was just issued today happened to be delivered, so I took it upon myself to buy one. ”

The money given by the man surnamed Tan was still left to buy these two newspapers. The boy took this opportunity to sell well, and he would be rewarded next time.

Just as the newsboy shouted, the front-page news of today's Times is the military operation carried out by the Sing Tao Region in the Strait of Malacca.

Compared with the performance of the Luzon Region in the Philippine Islands in the previous two months, the Xingdao Region was obviously smoother. It sent troops at the beginning of the new year, and then successfully captured three islands in just a few days, and So far, no one has been killed, which shows that the battlefield situation is extremely favorable to Haihan.

The original article in the newspaper used adjectives such as "cutting melons and cutting vegetables" to report the operation, and claimed that such results were of great significance for Haihan to achieve complete control of the Strait of Malacca.

Of course, the article did not forget to praise the strategizing of the two commanders Roger and Qian Tiandun. With these two commanding from the front, victory was a matter of course.

Compared with the official media "Haihan Times", the relevant reports in the "Sanya Express" he saw next seemed to be less "friendly". Although the headline of the Express also reported the achievements of the Haihan Army in the Strait of Malacca, a commentator's article on the front page began to discuss the value of this operation from another angle.

"According to official information released by Xingdao, the troops were dispatched this time to combat pirates. However, two army divisions and hundreds of large and small ships were dispatched for this purpose. Is it suspected of abusing military expenditures and killing a chicken with a knife?"
< br>

"The three islands occupied this time belong to Kedah and Siam respectively. The other side will definitely not sit back and watch our country occupy its territory. There may be a risk of conflict in the future."

"In addition, the total area of ​​the three islands occupied by the Xingdao Army is not as large as any of the seven islands captured by the Luzon Region in previous battles. Our army has no casualties, which shows that the battle on the front line is not fierce. We dispatched two famous figures from the DPRK. General, what is there to be proud of with only this kind of harvest?”

"Lao Fu believes that eradicating pirates is a necessary measure to maintain navigation safety. However, the place where the incident occurred is thousands of miles away from Xingdao and belongs to the territory of another country. Xingdao dispatched a large army to suppress the border. Is this move reasonable? Will it harm international relations? ”

The man surnamed Tan became more and more angry as he watched. He slapped his palm on the table and cursed: "Spreading trouble! I don't know whether to live or die!"

The waiter standing not far away was startled and hurried over and asked: "What are your orders, Master Tan?"

The man surnamed Tan knew that this was a public place, so he couldn't vent his anger to a teahouse waiter. He waved his hands and said: "It's okay, I just feel bad for the moment..."

Someone at the next table said, "This guy is so angry. Could it be that he read the article in the Express newspaper about Luo Xingdao?"

The man surnamed Tan turned around and saw that a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman was sitting at the table. There was also an express newspaper on the table. He immediately responded: "The express newspaper actually published such an article. You are really brave!"


The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Brother, I guess he rarely reads the express newspaper, right? This chief writer has always been like this. He always likes to criticize current affairs to show that he is knowledgeable. But as long as the executive committee commends Xingdao for its military achievements, he will probably Change his tone and cheer for Xingdao. If you don’t believe it, you can check out the previous issues of the Express. This was what he did when reporting on the war situation in the Luzon region.”

The man surnamed Tan said angrily: "Isn't this just a fool who jumps around?"

The middle-aged man said: "As the saying goes, this person is just like his name."

When the man surnamed Tan heard this, he looked carefully at the signature of the article. The author was named "Fu Qiqiang". After thinking about it for a moment, he laughed out loud and said: "What a villain!"

The middle-aged man echoed: "There is only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname. The villain is indeed the real face of this person."

The man surnamed Tan said: "But this person is so capricious that he will only make people hate him. What good will it do him?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "There are many people scolding him, which is also a kind of reputation. With a reputation, it will naturally be profitable."
