Schneider still doesn't know whether the reason why He Xi stepped in to support Shao Tianhu was because Roger offered generous enough terms, or because he took into account the feelings of overseas regions and could not let Shao Tianhu get into trouble in Sanya.
But one thing he can be sure of is that since this person has entered the executive committee's sight, and the Ministry of Security is secretly "protecting him", then this person's development prospects are very bright.
The top commander of the Star Island Foreign Mercenary Group is Roger himself. It is not difficult to infer that this person is at most a battalion commander with a military rank of about a major. There are at least hundreds of officers of the same rank in the Haihan Army. How many people have the opportunity to receive special attention from the Executive Committee?
But Schneider still had something unclear: "Since Roger valued this subordinate so much and arranged for him to come to Sanya for gold plating, why not send him directly to the military academy for further study, but instead sent him to be the head of the office?"

Tao Donglai said: "I guess Roger wanted to take this opportunity to test him and see if his ability is limited to leading troops in war."
Ning Qi held another view: "I think Roger was not satisfied with the performance of the Xingdao office in recent years, so he took this opportunity to arrange for his own people to take over the office."
Schneider smiled and said: "Wouldn't this be taking away Tan Juren's job?"
Ning Qi said: "Roger and Tan Juren have been partners for many years and have always cooperated very well. I think they should have communicated in private about this matter. Tan Tianming was originally responsible for the promotion of Xingdao. This person just took office. Tianming handed over the organization of publicity activities to the office, which shows that they must have a tacit understanding.”
Schneider nodded repeatedly and felt that what Ning Qi said made sense.
However, they did not know that when Shao Tianhu was appointed, Tan Tianming had just had the idea of planning an event in Sanya, and Xingdao did not give instructions for Tan Tianming to hand over the event to the office.
The reason for this seemingly tacit understanding was mainly because Shao Tianhu put on a good show for everyone in Xingdao when he first took office.
Although the play could not be completed due to the intervention of the Security Department, everyone in Xingdao, including Tan Tianming, admired Shao Tianhu's ability.
Tan Tianming handed over the organizational work to Shao Tianhu and others completely out of his own free will, rather than due to any tacit understanding between them.
Ning Qi continued: "But no matter what, I still have reservations about the position of the Times article. I think Xingdao has taken too big a step and it is easy to be wrong!"
Tao Donglai said: "We have already taken half the step, can we take it back? If you can persuade Roger and Qian Tiandun to turn back, then there is no need to argue about this matter."
Ning Qi snorted and did not refute, obviously knowing that this matter was extremely difficult to handle.
Qian Tiandun led his troops south last year. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that he saw that the development in the north had basically come to an end and wanted to turn his guns to work south and west.
Although there are some voices of opposition in the executive committee, various ministries in the South China Sea are very supportive of this. They all want to use Qian Tiandun's prestige to push the direction of Haihan's external expansion back to the south. Among them are those who guard the sea. Roger at Hannan Gate is the most active.
Qian Tiandun and Luo Jie were both warlike people. They would rather bear half of their own military expenditures than promote expansion in the South China Sea. Now that they are victorious, it is not easy to persuade them to stop.
Tao Donglai said: "The South China Sea has been at peace for so long. How many people have been waiting for the opportunity to make contributions. There are no less than a hundred plans, petitions, and proposals sent to Sanya every year. It is not a solution to suppress them. Besides, Luzon Region After pushing so far south in one breath and preventing Roger from moving, wouldn't he have some ideas?" Ning Qi sighed and said, "Forget it, none of us can convince anyone. It's useless to talk. I think it's better. Let’s discuss it at the meeting.”
Tao Donglai nodded and said: "The direction we should go next has to be decided this year."
According to the scheduled charter, during this year’s National Day, the Executive Committee will review and discuss the national development plan for the next ten years. Whether it will use colonization as the basis and use force to expand its territory, or whether it will continue to hide its capabilities and bide its time and digest the traditional territory of the East Asian continent will be confirmed at the meeting.
In addition, there is another important agenda closely related to it, which is the routine personnel changes of the Executive Committee.
Among the nine members of the executive committee, only Tao Donglai enjoys the treatment of a lifelong executive committee member by virtue of his status as the leader of the time-travel operation. The others are replaced in turn by collective voting according to the five-year system. elected.
However, over the years, in addition to Tao Donglai, the positions of Ning Qi, Schneider, Bai Kesi, and Yan Chujie have also been extremely stable. Like Tao Donglai, they have been re-elected over the years.
The other four positions change more frequently, basically every session, and this year is certainly no exception.
Among the members of the previous Executive Committee, Tom Wang resigned as Navy Commander and went to North America. Although he still retains his identity as Deputy Minister of Defense, he will definitely not be re-elected on the Executive Committee.
Due to physical reasons, Transportation Minister Yue Zhiyun has spent less and less time in public appearances in the past two years. The possibility of re-election is also very small, and he will most likely give up voluntarily.
The other two members are Gu Kai, who is in charge of the Ministry of Justice, and Liu Shanxia, who is in charge of the Ministry of Construction. These two people will not give up voluntarily, but whether they can be re-elected depends on the final election results.
The lineup of contestants who are willing to compete to be members of the next executive committee is the strongest in recent years.
The first is the almost certain candidate Shi Diwen. The Donghai Region under his jurisdiction is the most developed region except Hainan Island, and Hangzhou under his jurisdiction will be officially designated as the national capital this year. From now on, the Donghai Region will be The Gyeonggi region has great development prospects.
Regardless of his qualifications and ability, Shi Diwen already has sufficient qualifications. Entering the executive committee is basically everyone's default arrangement, and there is only one voting process left.
In addition, Chen Yixin, who is in charge of the Northern Region, has the support of the military and is one of the most popular candidates.
It is said that one of the reasons why Qian Tiandun voluntarily left the Northern Region was to push Chen Yixin, his apprentice, to the forefront so that the power of the executive committee could be gradually handed over to the younger generation.
Chen Yixin had just graduated from high school when he participated in the time-travel operation, and he is now nearly 50 years old. But if he can enter the executive committee, he will undoubtedly belong to the young group among a group of old people.
Among the time-travelling people, there are not many people who are similar to Chen Yixin's age. Currently, the only person who can compare with him is probably Chen Yixin's good friend, Li Dou, who is in charge of Taiwan Island.
However, Li Dou has not yet expressed interest in joining the executive committee, so there is basically no one in the same age group competing with Chen Yixin, and the chance of being selected for the executive committee is also very high.
