Chapter 1898 A grand welcome
As one of the largest local infrastructure projects, the train line running through the entire urban area of Sanya has always been regarded by the executive committee as an important achievement of Haihan's industrialization construction.Although the total length of this railway is far less than that of the freight line from Changhua Port to Shilu Iron Mine, the number of passengers on the former far exceeds that of the latter because it is located in the densely populated Sanya area.A considerable part of the people commuting between Tiandu Industrial Zone, the port area and the urban area take the train to commute, so the popularity and daily use rate of this train line are much higher.
Almost all important foreign figures who visit Sanya will be arranged to visit this advanced infrastructure project from the industrial age.So far no one has been able to maintain complete composure when witnessing this industrial miracle for the first time, and the Executive Committee is very satisfied with the shocking effect it brings to the visitors.After all, even in the eyes of a pure layman, such a large project beyond imagination can definitely be regarded as a symbol of national strength.
After Li Xi came to Sanya, this itinerary was naturally arranged. Li Xi was very impressed by the fact that the Haihan people could build a steel monster like a train. The museum has read a lot of materials, but in the end, because the theoretical knowledge involved is too difficult and obscure, he had to give up his plan to become the first train expert in North Korea.
Li Luo's curiosity about the train seems to be Li Xi's first arrival in Sanya. He can even imagine Li Luo's surprised reaction when he sees the train body in the future.But after staying in Sanya for a longer time and seeing all kinds of incredible things, you will know that things like trains are just normal operations of Haihan people.
After the official implementation of special traffic control on the landscape avenue, the convoy traveled unimpeded from the port area to Victory Square and arrived at the destination soon.And here, like the port area, has been taken over by the military, and there are soldiers on duty in all directions, and the public is temporarily prohibited from entering.
Of course, this kind of clearing measures only prohibits people from entering, but it does not prevent people from watching the excitement around Victory Square.Well-informed sources have long heard that the official blockade of some ports today and the imposition of military control on Scenic Avenue and Victory Square are due to the visit of the son of North Korea.
"Heir? Isn't that the son of the prince's family? Why is the prince's son so pompous!"
"North Korea can only be called the king, not the emperor, so the son of the king is the son of the king, the heir to the throne, understand?"
"The future king of Joseon...that's no wonder..."
"There's nothing unusual about the future king. Isn't the young prince of Annan Kingdom who often comes to Sanya also the heir to the throne?"
"That young master comes too often, but there is no way to give him such a big welcome ceremony every three days!"
Regarding the origin of today's distinguished guest, the onlookers have already started discussions.Today's Haihan is already one of the most prosperous cities in the South China Sea, and it is also the capital of Haihan Kingdom, a rising star. There are quite a few foreign dignitaries who visit every year.The people who have lived in Sanya all year round are naturally well-informed, and they are used to the visits of these foreign dignitaries, and they can even talk and laugh about such topics.
The people in Sanya are no strangers to the existence of North Korea.Since the construction of the embassy after the North Korean ambassador arrived in Sanya last year, this country, which is thousands of miles away, has begun to enter the vision of Sanya people.After that, Haihan agreed to North Korea's request for help and sent troops to assist it in resisting the invasion of the Qing army. The war even attracted the attention of the whole country of Haihan.
During the Haihan dispatch, various newspapers, including the official, tried to make continuous reports on the war, which kept a large number of people paying attention to the Korean battlefield.Although North Korea played a weak role protected by the coalition forces, under the deliberate guidance of public opinion, most people regard North Korea as their "own people" like An Nanguo.
Since he is one of his own, it is naturally Haihan's responsibility as the leading brother to send troops to protect North Korea, not to mention that the enemy is Haihan's old opponent in the Liaodong area, and now the Qing army has changed his identity.The newspaper said that helping North Korea fight the Qing army is to help Haihan eliminate its opponents in the region; the military generals stated that they are incompatible with the Qing army; the executive committee issued a number of orders to mobilize various resources to meet the needs of the expedition .It can be said that not only Sanya, but most of the Haihan Kingdom were mobilized because of this war.
This summer, North Korea, a distant country, is basically an indispensable topic in the daily topics of Haihan citizens. The Korean war report and the obituary of the sacrificed personnel released by the official newspapers every half a month will affect the emotions of the general public.Although the wars directly participated by the Haihan army are almost all good news, there will inevitably be casualties during the period. Fortunately, the war did not last long, and it only took a little over four months from the beginning to the end. The casualties of the Haihan army are still acceptable. Degree.
Not long after the war ended, news spread that North Korea would send elites to study in Haihan. This was not a big news to the people of Haihan. After all, accepting foreign students was already a part of Haihan. item tradition.There is a saying in Sanya that local foreigners are divided into four categories - officials, businessmen, sailors and overseas students. This shows that there are many foreign students studying in Sanya.
However, as far as foreign students studying abroad are concerned, it is indeed rare to receive such a high-end grand reception.Not to mention the collective mobilization of senior officials of the executive committee, even measures such as traffic control are rarely used when receiving overseas students.Of course, the North Korean study abroad team this time is indeed quite special, because the eldest son Li Min is also among them, and Haihan's high-level management has used a series of high-standard reception measures, naturally wanting to exert more influence on the heir to the Korean throne, so that In the future, North Korea can develop in a direction that is beneficial to Haihan.
Of course, this is not an easy thing to do. Even if it is as strong as Haihan, if you want to use soft means to influence the position or even the direction of development of another country, it will not be achieved overnight.
However, Haihan is very lucky, that is, there have been similar successful cases before North Korea, and there are more than one.At the beginning, Haihan sent troops to help Annan Qingdu Wang Zhengyi deal with the southern Ruan family, and supported Fujian Xu Xinsu to fight against the pirate gang Shibazhi.Annan and Fujian established their dependence and trust on Haihan during the war, and provided Haihan with a large number of production resources, labor, and sales markets for industrial products after the war, and their political positions Stand firmly on Haihan's side.
The cooperation with these two parties has allowed Haihan to gain a lot of valuable experience in this field, which will be of great use in the process of dealing with North Korea.
Using high-standard treatment to elevate the status of the other party, the Executive Committee believes that this is a simple and effective way to win the favor of the North Korean crown prince.Although doing so requires the relevant departments to make many arrangements in advance, for the executive committee, this is just a matter of several orders. As long as the expected effect can be achieved, some expenses are completely acceptable.
Haihan arranged a small military parade in Victory Square for Li Wei's arrival. Naturally, the scale cannot be compared with the annual military parade during the National Day, but according to Haihan's diplomatic standards, this is basically the etiquette for receiving foreign heads of state. .Although Li Wei had been notified before this, he was still a little excited when he saw the Haihan Army, Army and Navy standing neatly on one side of the square - this was the first time he represented When North Korea visited foreign countries, the reception he received was far beyond his expectations. It seems that Haihan's official statement that North Korea is regarded as a country of brothers is not false.
"My lord, please!"
Tao Donglai's invitation brought Li Wei back from his excitement, and he forced a smile on his face in response, and then walked forward with Tao Donglai to inspect the Haihan troops on the square.
The soldiers of the reviewing troops held their guns with both hands, the muzzles of the guns were tilted upwards on their chests, their chins were raised high, and their eyes were fixed on their own front.Each small matrix is lined up in platoons, from the southern end of the square to the gate of the Victory Fort at the northern end. Although the number of military parades is not too much, the visual impact it brings is no less than that of thousands of troops. horse.
Li Luo could feel the murderous aura emanating from these soldiers. Obviously, these troops were not just guards of honor for decoration, but professional soldiers who had actually been on the battlefield.
Sure enough, Tao Donglai took the initiative to introduce to him during the march: "What my son saw was the main combat force that participated in the Manila battle at the beginning of this year, and they were only recently transferred back to the mainland in rotation."
Li Lu noticed that these soldiers did not seem to be all Han Chinese. Some of them had obvious differences in appearance and appearance.However, when he visited the Datongjiang base before, it seemed that he rarely found similar situations in the local garrison.
What Li Wei didn't know was that the Haihan army he saw at the Datongjiang base was mainly Qian Tiandun's special operations group and the navy's marine corps. It is priority to recruit Han Chinese soldiers.When the Special Operations Group was established in the early days, although a large number of young and middle-aged men from Annan and Li and Miao ethnic groups in Hainan Island were recruited, but because of their activities in the coastal areas of Daming all the year round, after several military expansions, only senior officers still maintained a certain number of people. The proportion of Annan descendants and the racial structure of ordinary soldiers have already been consciously and gradually changed to Han descendants.
However, because Haihan has recruited a large number of immigrants from foreign countries all the year round, and has been implementing preferential treatment measures for obtaining nationality through enlistment, the proportion of non-Han soldiers in the ordinary army is still very considerable.For example, in the South China Sea Independence Battalion stationed in Xingdao, there are many soldiers from Africa, the Middle East, the Indian Peninsula and South Asia.
Of course, the troops that are eligible to be inspected by senior officials of the Executive Committee in Victory Square have also been screened by the military to ensure that these soldiers are reliable personnel who have been in the army for more than two years, have a clean background, and have no hidden dangers. .
While Li Min followed Tao Dong to inspect the troops, thousands of people watching around the square were also observing the Joseon prince in full costume.
Compared with the Annan little prince Zheng Zuo who often appeared in Shengli Harbor City and would book a whole floor of a certain restaurant to entertain guests at every turn, this North Korean little prince seemed much more cautious and followed Tao The appearance of Donglai's side looks a lot like a student or a personal secretary.However, as a visitor from afar, the people of Sanya still showed great enthusiasm for the visiting son of Joseon, expressing their emotions with applause and cheers.
The public's reaction made Li Luo even more excited, and he puffed up his chest a little bit, so that he would not look too humble next to the muscular Tao Donglai.He had already noticed just now that the group of high-ranking officials of the Haihan Executive Committee were generally tall, and even a few civil servants looked quite strong, about half a head taller than him.Fortunately, Li Luo still wore a gauze hat on his head, which visually ensured that he would not suffer from his height.
After the simple military parade was over, Tao Donglai invited Li Min to enter the Fort of Victory to enjoy a reception dinner specially prepared for him.
According to Li Xi's introduction, Li Wei roughly understood that Shengli Fort in Sanya is like Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, where high-ranking Haihan officials lived and handled their official duties.Although this place is small, it is still very mysterious to the outside world. Li Xi has entered Victory Fort several times, but he can only go to a limited number of places.
Victory Fort looks like a small fortress from the outside, with moats more than ten feet wide, well-arranged city walls, and powerful fortifications. When you enter it, you will find that the planning inside is more like a comprehensive government office. It will be distributed here to various institutions for processing.However, there are soldiers on duty everywhere in the fort, and there are many places, not to mention foreigners, even naturalized officials from Haihan's own country may not be qualified to enter.
Most places in Sanya are open to foreign dignitaries, but this does not include Shengli Fort, and Li Lu is no exception.Tao Donglai led him straight to the banquet hall in the Fort of Victory, where preparations had already been made, waiting for the Lord's arrival.
The attendees of today's welcome banquet are basically public officials from various official institutions in Haihan, especially the counterpart reception units for North Korean students. Communicate well.
For example, Defense Minister Yan Chujie personally attended the military convenience, and Gu Wei, who specializes in military training, was also specially called to explain the relevant training content to the North Koreans when necessary.Of course, regarding the situation of the North Korean military officers and students, they had already received information from Qian and Wang from the front, and they already knew something about it.
