Qian Tiandun understood the other party's intentions, but he still said noncommittally: "If you want to coordinate actions, you need to confirm that the goals are the same in advance. I wonder if your country has any specific plans?"
Ruan Wenxing quickly responded: "I'm just in charge of the government affairs of the Cam Ranh Port area, and I don't speak lightly, so I don't dare to make false statements about important government affairs."
Qian Tiandun said with a smile: "Then Master Ruan will talk about his personal thoughts, and let me learn from them."
Ruan Wenxing's words may not be effective, but to a certain extent it can represent Annan's wishes.Moreover, Qian Tiandun suspected that Feng Annan had negotiated a cooperation with Ruan Wenxing so quickly, possibly because of instructions from Annan's senior management.
Ruan Wenxing gritted his teeth and said boldly: "I think Borneo is a good place. If we can develop it together with your country, there should be good profits in the future."
Borneo is Kalimantan Island located in the south of the Philippine Islands. It is separated from the Indochina Peninsula where Annan Kingdom is located by the entire South China Sea, and the voyage is about [-] miles.
The biggest feature of Borneo is its large area. As the third largest island in the world, its area is more than double the territory of Annan.Moreover, there are only a few indigenous tribes on this big island, and there is no relatively powerful country. For Annan, who is thirsty for land, it is indeed a relatively easy target.
An Nanguo has had constant territorial disputes with neighboring countries in the past 20 years, but under Haihan's intentional suppression, it cannot completely let go of its hands and feet to fight with neighboring countries. benefit.And Borneo, which is sparsely populated and has no strong enemies, is simply an attractive cake in Annan's eyes.
The only trouble is the South China Sea that lies between the two places, which is indeed a big problem for Annan who lacks experience in opening up overseas colonies.
Of course, this problem is not without a solution, the safest way is to get Hai Han to do it together.But for a long time, Haihan had very limited interest in Borneo, and was even unwilling to invest resources in building large-scale colonies.
To Annan, this place may be a very attractive fragrant steamed bun, but to Haihan, it is just tasteless, tasteless to chew, and it is a pity to throw it away.The soil quality in most parts of Borneo is relatively poor, and the environment is not suitable for growing food crops.
To introduce cash crops, it is necessary to move a large number of trained laborers to the local area to obtain income by opening plantations, which is too costly for Haihan.In Southeast Asia, there are plenty of options for growing conditions better than Borneo, and it's hard to rank Borneo among them.
And there are relatively few valuable mineral deposits in the area, and the only thing Haihan is interested in is the oil on the northern coast of Borneo.However, due to the difficulty of mining, it is only registered as a resource reserve at present, and there is no rush to develop it.
In addition, the southern part of Borneo belongs to the traditional sphere of influence of Matalam. Out of respect for Matalam, Haihan also consciously keeps a distance from Matalam in this area to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Although Qian Tiandun is not particularly familiar with the situation in Borneo, he also knows that he has not done anything to the area for so many years. It must be that the local oil and water are limited, otherwise the companies from the South China Sea would have swarmed in.However, if the Annan people are willing to go to the front station, he would be happy to see it succeed.
"Borneo? Yes, no problem." Qian Tiandun agreed without hesitation.
Feng Annan remained calm, obviously he had expected this long ago.This made Qian Tiandun feel a little strange. Could it be that the Annan people's ambitions only stop here?
Of course, things are not that simple. Seeing that Qian Tiandun was so forthright, Ruan Wenxing agreed, and then put forward other conditions: "If your country builds ports in other parts of the Indochina Peninsula in the future, I hope you can also use the cooperation model of Cam Ranh Port. China jointly develops and builds, and allows our country to garrison troops.”
Qian Tiandun thought in his heart that it was just an appetizer just now, and this is the main topic.
The east coast of the Indochina Peninsula is almost all Annan’s territory, and the south coast is Champa, Cambodia, Siam, Pattani, Johor and other countries that have never been in harmony with Annan. Haihan has already occupied the southernmost east exit of the Strait of Malacca, probably They will not attack the area between Annan and Xingdao again.
Then the conditions proposed by Ruan Wenxing coincided with Feng Annan's proposal at the meeting, focusing on the west coast of the Indochina Peninsula, that is, the vast area west of the Strait of Malacca.
And Ruan Wenxing specifically proposed to use the Cam Ranh Port model as a benchmark, which made it difficult for Qian Tiandun to directly reject his request.According to the agreement between the two countries, Cam Ranh Port is not only an important military base for Haihan, but also provided for use by the Annan Army.Today, Cam Ranh Port is also stationed all year round with an Annan navy fleet and more than 2000 army troops.
Qian Tiandun suddenly understood why Feng Annan was full of confidence when he proposed the division of spheres of influence at the meeting earlier. It turned out that this was not only his personal idea, but also added Annan's weight.
If Feng Annan's proposal is denied, it is tantamount to refusing to allow Annan to participate, which may affect the future operation of Cam Ranh Port.If what Ruan Wenxing said represented the attitude of Annan's high-level officials, then the consequences may be more serious, and it may even affect the relationship between the two countries.
Qian Tiandun looked at Feng Annan, and saw that he was also staring at him with color, obviously very proud of this ingenious arrangement.
Qian Tiandun said: "I intend to develop to the west of the Strait of Malacca, but have you ever thought that the person who will lead the operation may be General Roger who is more familiar with the area. The conditions you negotiated with me will be It might not work either.”
Feng Annan said: "That's why we want to talk to you. I believe you can see that Roger likes to do things arbitrarily, and he is not willing to cooperate with others. It is impossible to talk to him. Old Qian, are you A sensible person, you know what to do is best for the country. What we have to do is to expand our territory steadily, not to take care of the head and tail of adventurism.”
Feng Annan said this very bluntly, if Roger was present, there would inevitably be another dispute with him.But what he said was not completely unreasonable. Although Xingdao had money, soldiers and strong mobility, it was a small place after all, and its supplies were far less abundant than An Nanguo.If you really want to build a new overseas base, Xing Tao may not be as good as Feng Annan's help.
But what Feng Annan wanted to do was clearly to compete with Xing Tao, and Qian Tiandun had previously promised Roger that he would cooperate with him. If he changed his mind at this time, he would offend Roger to the end.
Qian Tiandun smiled wryly and said, "I can't make a judgment on what to do to benefit the country. When the meeting is held tomorrow, I'll kick the ball to Lao Yan and see what he says!"
