Qian Tiandun knew very well that his move to lead his troops south to the Cam Ranh Port would definitely bring a lot of pressure to the generals stationed in the South China Sea for a long time, and it was inevitable that they would be suspicious of him and even show hostility.
After all, they have controlled the South China Sea for many years, and they have intertwined local interests. They have long regarded this area as their own back garden, and they will definitely not be willing to share these industries with newcomers.For so many years, the commanders of the garrisons in various parts of the South China Sea have not changed much, and no one has been airborne from Sanya to take over their positions.
But Qian Tiandun has both prestige and strength. Sanya agreed to let him lead his troops south into the South China Sea.Whether Qian Tiandun's purpose in coming to the South China Sea is to replace someone, and whether it will break the delicate balance formed in this area for a long time, the local generals will definitely have doubts about this.
The South China Sea generals gathered at Cam Ranh Port, in addition to discussing the external expansion plan proposed by Qian Tiandun, they also came to find out the real purpose of Qian Tiandun's going south.
If the long-term calm situation in the South China Sea will inevitably be broken, then the most important thing for the generals is to strive for their own interests and avoid losses.
Roger was silent for a long time, as if he was judging whether Qian Tiandun's response was true. Qian Tiandun was not in a hurry, drinking tea slowly, waiting for Roger to speak.
"I believe you are a true patriot, but I also believe that everyone has selfishness. I want to know what your selfishness is." Roger finally spoke after thinking for a long time.
"Why do you have to know this?" Qian Tiandun asked back.
Roger responded, "I don't want to work with an altruistic saint."
Qian Tiandun smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not a saint, and I don't want my partner to be a saint. I came to the South China Sea just to continue to lead troops to fight and explore the unknown world by the way. It's as simple as that."
Roger said: "If we act together, how will the territory we occupy be divided?"
Qian Tiandun said: "I want to participate in the development of ports and mines, and the rest can belong to you. But when I need to mobilize troops, your fleet must fully cooperate."
Roger stretched out his hand and said, "It's a deal."
Seeing this, Qian Tiandun reached out to shake hands with him and said, "If everyone is as happy as you, things will be simple."
Speaking of this, the banquet had already begun to be served, so Qian Tiandun invited Luo Jie to the table and talked while eating.
On such an occasion, Takahashi Minami would naturally be by his side.And Roger didn't fight alone, and let his young lieutenant also take his seat.
Seeing this, Qian Tiandun reckoned that this young adjutant must also have some background, otherwise, how could he have the seat of a small lieutenant adjutant on such an occasion.
Sure enough, Luo Jie then took the initiative to introduce the background of the young adjutant: "This is Tan Tianlei, the eldest of Tan Juren's family. He finished middle school in Sanya three years ago, and Tan Juren asked him to return to Xingdao to enlist in the army and work by my side."
After hearing this, Qian Tiandun asked the young man about Tan Juren's recent situation and asked him to greet him on his behalf.
Tan Juren was appointed as the chief executive of the newly established Sing Tao colonial area in 1635. When he first took office, he caught up with the coalition forces formed by the British and Johor to attack Sing Tao. He is also one of the few civil servants who have personally experienced overseas wars.
At that time, Tan Juren originally used one overseas term to strive for promotion opportunities after returning to Sanya in the future, but he never thought that he would take root in Xingdao after going south, and he would not be transferred back to Sanya to work.
However, after 20 years in charge of power in Sing Tao, Tan Juren has long since lost his intention to return to Sanya to work.Xing Tao's financial situation has always been good, he can also enjoy the prosperity and wealth in the local area, and there is no pressure from peer competition, so why go back to Sanya to join the involution.
And Tan Juren asked his son to enlist in the army to work with Roger. It can be seen that the two people have cooperated very happily in the past 20 years, which is why they have such an arrangement of mutual trust.
Of course, from another perspective, this also shows that Luo Jie and Tan Juren have unbreakable control over the affairs of Xing Tao, and they have begun to prepare for the power transfer of the next generation.
For the past 20 years, Xingdao has been an important town in the southern border of Haihan, and its importance is no less than the former Jinzhou of Liaodong.Tan Tianlei can be reincarnated into the family of such a local official who holds real power, and Luo Jie is hand in hand, so his future future is naturally limitless.
"Since ancient times, heroes have been born in youth. When you see young people like Xiao Tan and the others, you will feel that you are really old!" Qian Tiandun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Roger didn't take it seriously: "In the past few years, there hasn't been any battle near Xingdao, and these young people haven't had much opportunity to exercise. You won't know whether they are reliable until they actually go to the battlefield."
After that, he patted Tan Tianlei on the shoulder and said: "The opportunity is rare, during the meeting in Jinlan Port these days, you can ask Gao Qiaonan for advice, and just teach you a few hands, which is enough for you to walk sideways in the army. "
Gao Qiaonan hurriedly said a few polite words, but Roger continued: "You don't know, this kid has read about your deeds in the newspaper since he was a child, and worships you as a role model. I heard that I can see you in Cam Ranh Port this time. That’s really more active than me, and I specially asked me to arrange a steamboat to drive here at full speed.”
Qian Tiandun laughed and said, "No wonder you guys arrived one day earlier than Xiao Liang."
During his military service, Takahashi Nan has always been known for his ferocity in combat and taking the lead. He was also known by the people as the Ever Victorious General because he had never lost any battles he participated in.In order to encourage civilians to enlist in the army, the Haihan military has also been deliberately increasing its propaganda efforts on Gao Qiaonan, portraying him as a fighting hero from a naturalized background.
In addition to the various official battle reports, there are also various folk novels adapted from his experiences, which are widely spread.Therefore, even in Xingdao, which is thousands of miles away from Gao Qiaonan's real service location, there are many admirers who regard Gao Qiaonan as a role model.
Gao Qiaonan saw that Tan Tianlei was just giggling, but he was embarrassed to talk to him, so he took the initiative to say: "When you are free in the next few days, my brother might as well come here as a guest, and we can learn from each other."
Tan Tianlei didn't dare to say it, but after he realized it, he quickly responded, his joy was beyond words.It has probably been his dream for a long time to compete with his idol on the school field.
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere at the moment, Qian Tiandun also asked a question he was interested in: "I remember that after the end of the Manila war, the Ministry of National Defense rewarded your troops for the formation of the South China Sea Independent Battalion. It should be amphibious How could the development route of the special operations force be reorganized into two parts, the army and the navy?"
When Roger heard him ask about this matter, he just sneered a few times and took a sip of the wine glass. Obviously, this was not a pleasant memory for him.
