The conditions mentioned by Feng Annan are indeed important reasons for restricting Haihan's southward expansion.Compared with the traditional territory controlled by the civilization of the Central Plains, the objective environment of the South China Sea region is really not good. In the past 20 years, the development speed has been far slower than that of the North.
A large regional port with superior natural conditions like Cam Ranh Port, if placed in the north, would have probably become a bustling port city long ago.But to this day, it is still a small coastal town centered on the Haihan military base, with a population of only [-] to [-], and about half of them are Annan people who live nearby.
If Haihan wants to make overseas colonial areas like Cam Ranh Port prosperous, it needs to invest more resources to build industries with higher production value here to attract more people to settle here.But the problem is that Haihan invested most of its resources in the north, and the development and construction of the South China Sea were almost all organized and implemented by each colonial area, and its efficiency can be imagined.
If these colonial areas want to take the initiative to expand their territory outward, after bearing the huge investment in the early stage and the risk of cross-sea operations, what they can get is often only some small colonial points that require continuous investment and have little profit prospects. There are no specific subsidies and support measures for the action.
When the external expansion gradually fell into a situation where it was unprofitable, or even unable to make ends meet, after a long time, the colonial areas in the South China Sea were too lazy to make some thankless attempts, and instead focused their energy and resources on cultivating the existing on the site.
Feng Annan put down his teacup and continued: "There are many mines in Annan and Luzon Island. As far as the places that have been discovered and exploited so far, the next few generations can lie on the mines and eat. Star Island is guarding the Strait of Malacca. This golden treasure land is also not worrying about future financial resources. You said that in this situation, how many people are willing to toss about nothing and insist on finding something for themselves?"
Feng Annan said these words as if he was pretending to make Qian Tiandun retreat, but Qian Tiandun didn't think so.Based on his understanding of Feng Annan and the communication between the two before that, he was sure that this was not Feng Annan's real intention.
Qian Tiandun was not the only one present in the audience. If Gao Qiaonan, who had the same position as Qian Tiandun, was excluded, then Yan Chujie, who came here on behalf of the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense, was left.
Feng Annan's words were not so much a posturing, but more like complaining to Yan Chujie about the injustice of the national policy. They did not give the local government in the South China Sea the investment and support they needed, which led to the weak external expansion in recent years.
That being the case, Qian Tiandun will definitely not argue with Feng Annan about the truth of these situations, but cooperate with the other party to transfer the issue to the decision-making of the executive committee.
"Old Yan, the problems that Lao Feng mentioned are actually not difficult to solve. As long as the executive committee is willing to give some suitable policies, I think the lifeless status quo in the South China Sea will definitely be changed!" Qian Tiandun said while saying, While looking at Yan Chujie.
Yan Chujie couldn't hear the implication of these two people, and replied with a smile: "It's ok, you two just say a few words, and you will form an alliance to put pressure on me, right?"
Qian Tiandun said: "You are the Minister of National Defense. We must come up with a charter for these matters, so that we can handle things easily."
Yan Chujie said: "In principle, the Ministry of National Defense has not restricted military operations for the purpose of external expansion, but it needs to use this as an excuse to apply for more military expenditures, expand the number of troops, increase weapons and equipment, and even higher command authority. The Ministry must be controlled, and I believe there is no need to explain why."
Feng Annan said: "We don't give any benefits, we can't do things backwards, the Ministry of National Defense is only responsible for changing the territory every year, right?"
Yan Chujie said: "What the Ministry of National Defense can do depends on what specific goals you can achieve."
Yan Chujie said a word, and kicked the ball back to Qian Tiandun and Feng Annan.
At this time, it was Qian Tiandun's turn to come out and draw a big cake: "My goal is that in the next few years, the control area in the South China Sea can be expanded a circle further. To the east can reach the Solomon Islands, and to the south can reach northern Australia. Go west and establish a colony on the coast of India. Of course, if you can enter the Arabian Sea and establish a stronghold on the Arabian Peninsula, that would be even better."
"The troops involved in the operation, in addition to my special warfare division, I hope that the garrisons in Annan, Luzon and Xingdao can also participate. Of course, if there are troops from other places who want to join, that is not a problem. Troop strength The more we do, the less time it will take us to reach our goals."
Yan Chujie said: "Then I will repeat the question I asked in Sanya. Where will the funds come from for such a large-scale military operation? You can't just make cakes for the executive committee. The move to move the capital in the next few years will require investment. There is a lot of money, and the executive committee is also very tight, so I am afraid that it is unlikely that funds will be drawn out to support the actions you have said."
Qian Tiandun replied confidently: "As for funds, we can use other methods of raising funds, such as issuing bonds."
"War bond?" Yan Chujie frowned when he heard this word.
Qian Tiandun said: "War bonds don't sound very nice, I think they might as well be called victory bonds. The bonds can be mortgaged by various infrastructure and assets of our country in the South my country Sea, and will be issued by Haihan Bank in batches at home and abroad. The funds obtained are earmarked For dedicated use, the use of funds is regulated by the Department of Defense.”
Feng Annan frowned and said, "Can this raise enough military expenses?"
Qian Tiandun nodded and said: "As long as there is a stable high income, there will be more people willing to pay for it than you can imagine."
Yan Chujie said: "But it takes a long time for new overseas colonies to generate income. What about the repayment during this period?"
Qian Tiandun said: "As long as we can continue to expand externally, we can continue to draw the big pie, and of course we can continue to issue bonds. If money comes in, there will be money to repay."
Yan Chujie said: "Why does this method sound like a Ponzi scheme? Are you planning to change careers?"
Qian Tiandun said with a smile: "The Ponzi scheme is an empty-handed wolf, but we are not. We have real assets as collateral for issuing bonds, and the real assets will continue to increase with the expansion of our overseas control areas. These assets Ultimately, there will be yields, and more and more, that will far exceed the yields of bonds."
Yan Chujie thought for a while in silence before speaking again: "If the external expansion is suspended, causing problems in bond issuance and redemption, the country's reputation will also be affected. Once it starts, it will not be so easy to stop gone."
Qian Tiandun said in a deep voice: "I hope that the external expansion will continue for at least one to two generations. By then, our country will have enough resources in the world, and there will be no need to worry about financial difficulties. .”
