Chapter 3453
Qian Tiandun spent more than half of his life in the army. He spent less time with his family and more separation, so he naturally felt that he owed a lot to his family.
With his current status, it is not a problem to provide a stable and prosperous living environment for his family, nor is it a problem to pave a bright road for his children, but more importantly, how can he spend more time with his family while taking care of military affairs? .
Luo Wudan didn't like the weather in the north, so he chose to live in Sanya forever. Qian Tiandun considered taking the occupation of Phuket Island as an opportunity to build a mansion here and then bring his family over from China to settle there.
As for the future development prospects of his children, Qian Tiandun believes that as long as his special warfare division can open up the situation in the direction of the Indian Ocean, there is no need to worry about the future of future generations.
The world is vast and there is a lot to accomplish, so why let future generations struggle around the country to compete for positions that will be subject to many restrictions.
After a brief chat about his family, Qian Tiandun took the initiative to ask Qian Shaobao about his experiences during the trip.
Qian Shaobao knew that this was a test of his father's vision. He had thought about this issue carefully on the way and was well prepared for it, so he started talking immediately.
"After setting off from Sanya, we didn't stop at many ports on the way. Before arriving at Xingdao, we only stayed at Cam Ranh Port for a few days due to weather conditions. The further south you go, the greater the difference between the climate and the country, and the body shapes of the indigenous ethnic groups become darker. They are thin, short, and undisciplined, and do not like to work. They are more difficult to discipline than the Han people. Our country's slow development in the South China Sea may also be affected by this."
"The ethnic groups in Xingdao are particularly complex. According to Ha'er's understanding, the local people originally belonged to more than 30 countries, which can be described as a hodgepodge. With so many ethnic groups, it is quite troublesome to unify the language and writing. They are loyal to the country and the executive committee, which makes it even more difficult.”
"The child was thinking at that time that the same difficulties might also appear in the territory controlled by his father. Subsequently, we saw in Penang and Langkawi that the proportion of Han immigrants was not more than half. I think the situation in Phuket should be the same. Pretty much. There will definitely be many hidden dangers that need to be eliminated in the future management of such multi-ethnic areas.”
"Also, this place is far away from the mainland. Apart from mining, it is almost difficult to build other industrial projects. Almost all industrial products must rely on domestic supply. If we continue to expand westward, the supply lines will become longer and longer, right? At some point, the cost of supply transportation alone will exceed the benefits of expanding the territory?”
"The Executive Committee has moved the capital to Hangzhou, stating that in the future, the Han Chinese-inhabited areas on the mainland will be the focus of development. If we continue to go west, we will be further away from the mainland, and the direct benefits we can bring to the country will be less and less. Can the Executive Committee continue to support the Special Warfare Division in doing this? ”
While Qian Shaobao expressed his thoughts, he also raised many questions. Qian Tiandun did not immediately interrupt him to answer the question, but nodded slightly in affirmation and waited patiently for him to finish.
After Qian Shaobao finished expressing his views, Qian Tiandun asked: "Do you think that my choice of marching westward through the South China Sea has few favorable factors and no bright prospects?"< br>
Qian Shaobao said: "My child has no such idea, but he doesn't quite understand why his father must choose this difficult path." Qian Tiandun said: "The reason is difficult to explain in just a few words, but I What I can tell you is that whether it is the Executive Committee or generals like Roger and me, the development strategies we consider are not focused on the current five or ten years, because the development of the world that our generation has seen The trend is measured in hundreds of years! ”
"While our generation is still alive, we must try our best to complete the global layout, so that even hundreds of years later, the country and our descendants can continue to benefit from it."
"The problems you just mentioned are indeed objective difficulties, but we will not stop just because of these obstacles on the way forward. When we find problems, we solve them instead of questioning whether we are going in the wrong direction. ”
"You are also a soldier now. Let me ask you, if the military order issued to you seems unreasonable, do you have to refuse to carry it out?"
Qian Shaobao immediately sat up straight and responded in a deep voice: "Military orders are like mountains, you must not disobey them!"
Qian Tiandun was very satisfied with his son's attitude, nodded and said: "I will answer the questions you just mentioned one by one."
"Mixed ethnic groups are inevitable in overseas colonies far away from the mainland. The objective environment determines that we must accept various ethnic groups in order to achieve rapid population growth and corresponding construction and development."
< br>
"To govern such an area well and allow various ethnic groups to unite and work together under the two-color banner, there are no more than two ways. One is to slowly transform it through long-term cultural and educational means and slowly integrate it into our country's system. The other is to use strong The power of the country overwhelms their will and makes them dare not have any second thoughts towards our country.”
"There is an old saying that when the barbarians and the Di entered China, China was conquered. I believe you have also seen many naturalized foreigners who speak Chinese and write Chinese characters in Xingdao. As time goes by, there will be more and more such people, until a certain time , we no longer need to actively introduce immigrants from other ethnic groups. Instead, we must set strict entry thresholds and screen those of other ethnic groups who actively defect to our country. Only outstanding talents among them can obtain naturalization after a comprehensive examination. Opportunities. By that time, our governance costs will gradually decrease.”
Qian Shaobao said: "So, will there really be a day when wise men from all over the world rush to join our country?"
Qian Tiandun nodded confidently and said: "It may take twenty or thirty years at the earliest, or seventy or eighty years at the earliest. When Haihan's national power leaves other countries in the world far behind, such a situation will inevitably occur."
"As for the impact you mentioned of moving the capital on overseas expansion, you can actually rest assured. As I said just now, the Executive Committee's plans are consistent with those of us generals who lead troops and fight overseas. The more places we control, the more places we control. , the stronger the national power is, it will be of great benefit to consolidate the rule of the Executive Committee, and there is no need to worry about losing the support of the Executive Committee.”
Qian Shaobao said: "But we need to station troops wherever we occupy overseas. If we want to occupy the whole world, the troops required may not be tens of millions of troops!"
Qian Tiandun said: "Occupy the whole world? That's not necessary. We only need to occupy strategic points like the Strait of Malacca and special areas with high-value products. To achieve such a goal, you do not need the size of the army you think. .”
