Chapter 2965
The Golden Shield Escort is already well-known in the Gulf of Siam area, but after all, it is only a privately-operated armed contractor, and the Haihan Fleet that came to the Chao Phraya Estuary this time is the genuine regular army. It didn't start to show until the next day.
Early the next morning, a team of local officials and businessmen visited the fleet's temporary station again.Although Li Yuande's fleet was still on its way, the Siamese showed great patience and were willing to wait here for the arrival of the cargo ship.
In addition to the huge armed fleet, what keeps the Siamese patient is the goods that Li Yuande will sell to them.They even brought gold bars and silver ingots to make sure the deal went through.
Among the various goods shipped by Fu Ruifeng to Siam, tobacco and alcohol are the two most popular commodities. This time, Li Yuande's fleet also prepared a batch of targeted goods, which really came in handy.
It was not until noon that the cargo ship fleet completed the rendezvous with the fleet.Li Yuande took the buyer on board to inspect the goods, and the deal was quickly concluded.After the Siamese buyer paid, the two cargo ships sailed to the coast and docked at the place indicated by the buyer to unload.
But at this time, there was no laborer to unload the cargo on the pier, because almost all the locals went to the mouth of the Chao Phraya River to watch the Haihan fleet at sea.The buyer had to spend double the price to ask Haihan sailors on the two cargo ships to help unload the cargo.
Although no real city has been formed here, there are already nearly ten thousand people gathered by the seaside to watch the excitement.It is said that some people even came from dozens of miles away overnight after hearing the news, just to see the true face of the legendary invincible Haihan army.
Those who come here for this purpose should not be disappointed. The Haihan warship is parked not far from the coast. Not only can you see the densely packed gun ports on the side of the ship, but people with good eyes can even see clearly the faces of the sailors on the deck. face.
Facing this huge armed fleet, the Siamese people talked a lot, and various rumors began to spread like wildfire among the crowd.
But fortunately, before these false rumors began to ferment, local officials came forward and announced to the public that this was just a "friendly" visit, and that the Haihan fleet would leave soon, and the various situations that the public worried about would not happen.
After Li Yuande returned to the Weibang, Qian Tiandun asked him about the trade situation here.Li Yuande came to a bamboo tube and poured beans, and told all the things he knew.
Li Yuande said: "At present, there are three things that are best sold in Siam, cigarettes, alcohol, and weapons. Because of Annan's relationship, it is not convenient for our country to sell weapons to Siam, so we mainly sell tobacco, alcohol and daily necessities to Siam. .”
Qian Tiandun asked: "Then the weapons of the Siamese army must have been purchased from Western countries?"
Li Yuande nodded and said, "As far as I know, that's true. Portugal and the Netherlands are the main sellers."
For Haihan, it is indeed a pity to miss out on Siam, a potential major arms customer.Otherwise, based on the demand of Siam, I am afraid that the purchasing power will not be much worse than that of Annan.
However, Qian Tiandun was not able to intervene in such matters. He only had a general understanding of the situation and did not express any further opinions.
For Qian Tiandun, since Siam did not show a hostile attitude, and there was no objective environment for the establishment of a military base here, and the purpose of the armed parade had been achieved, there was no need to stay any longer.After the transaction was completed, the fleet set sail and left the mouth of the Chao Phraya River.
The Gulf of Siam is surrounded by the Indochina Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula on the east and west sides. When the fleet comes, it goes north along the west coast of the Indochina Peninsula to Siam, and when it leaves, it goes south along the coast of the Malay Peninsula on the other side.
The Malay Peninsula is more than [-] miles long from north to south, with the Gulf of Siam at the north end and Star Island at the east exit of the Strait of Malacca at the south end.
Before the collapse of the Malacca Dynasty, the entire Malay Peninsula was divided among Siam, Burma, and Malacca, and more than half of them belonged to the Malacca Dynasty.
Today, the territory of Siam and Myanmar on the Malay Peninsula has not changed much, but the Malacca Dynasty at the southern tip has split into several small countries.
These small countries joined the South China Sea Business Alliance led by Haihan a few years ago, and most of them have successively established diplomatic relations with Haihan.The Golden Shield escorted several armed merchant ships deployed in the Gulf of Siam, and most of the time they moved between the ports of these small countries.
"The small countries we are about to visit, Pattani, Kelantan, and Terengganu, all maintain good relations with our country. Since more than ten years ago, the military base in Cam Ranh Bay has received students from these countries every year, and some of them are outstanding. Some even go to Sanya to study abroad.”
Listening to Mu Zhennan's introduction, Qian Tiandun couldn't help smiling.
Such methods are not unfamiliar to him. When he was stationed in the South China Sea, Haihan trained a large number of military personnel for Annan. For this reason, he even built a training base on the Tushan Peninsula in Annan for Training the new army that Annan had just begun to form at that time.
When Qian Tiandun formed his troops in Heitu Port, he would often take the troops to Catba Island and Tushan Peninsula for training, and sometimes he would specially let the Annan new army who was trained play the role of the enemy to fight with his own troops. confrontation training.
Many of these soldiers trained by Haihan have become the backbone of Annan's new army, and now there are quite a few successful people in Annan's army, which makes Annan's military development and Haihan firmly tied together.
Nowadays, whether it is personnel training or military procurement, Haihan is Annan's best choice.And the huge benefits brought to Haihan by this cannot be measured by money.
And the same method was later used by Haihan on North Korea, and Qian Tiandun also experienced this process in the north.
Since North Korea has long been a vassal state of Ming Dynasty and is used to unconditional obedience to the suzerain, after Haihan took over the suzerain status of Ming Dynasty, the cooperation with North Korea was even smoother than that of Annan.
North Korea's military is no longer as simple as moving closer to Haihan, it is completely self-proclaimed as a Congjun army.From troop organization to command system, from weapons and equipment to tactics and tactics, all abandoned the old system, and rebuilt the military force completely according to the model guided by Haihan.
These proven effective means, if they are applied to these small countries, will definitely be effective faster.Mu Zhennan has been stationed in Jin Ran Bay, so he is very clear about this.
And Li Yuande also confirmed Mu Zhennan's statement from the side: "Qiong Lianfa and Furuifeng have many industries in these small countries, and the local land is cheap, which is most suitable for building large-scale plantations. My family was in the local area ten years ago. I bought a lot of land to plant rubber trees, and now I can produce rubber stably.”
