Chapter 2968
Although Qian Tiandun has a high position and authority, he is a newcomer after all, and his understanding of the situation in the South China Sea is only based on the paper information in official documents.As both Mu Zhennan and Wu Chengzhi have been stationed in the South China Sea for training all year round, they must know more about the grievances and grievances between these countries.
Both of them attended the meeting with King Patani today with Qian Tiandun. Qian Tiandun didn't go around in circles, and asked them directly what they thought of the military purchase and border issues mentioned by Pattani.
Wu Chengzhi said: "The conflict between Pattani and Kelantan did not happen in recent years. It is said that the two have been at loggerheads since the Malacca Dynasty. Later, the Malacca Dynasty fell, and they still divided the family property. Having fought a war, it is an old grudge.”
"However, this kind of small country is weak in national power, with a limited population and little money, so it can't fight a big war at all, so the way they want to protect themselves is to get more helpers through diplomacy. The adults should have seen it when they entered the city. There are quite a lot of shops, right?"
Qian Tiandun nodded and said: "With Beidanian's size, it is not easy to attract so many foreign businessmen to set up shops here."
Wu Chengzhi went on to say: "But at best, Western businessmen can sell them old guns that have been passed around several times. They did not receive real military assistance until the establishment of diplomatic relations with our country. We not only sent them weapons and equipment, but also Being able to train military personnel for them and form a new, more combat-ready force is exactly the help they need."
"Putani's general who protects the country, Pumi, also attended today's banquet. I don't know if you have any impression. When this person was studying in the Sanya Army Academy, he happened to be at the same time as the humble officer. He can be regarded as one of the high-ranking figures in Peking. He is a die-hard supporter of our country, and most of the requests for military purchases and border issues come from his idea."
Qian Tiandun naturally remembered that when King Panchai introduced Bhumi, he specifically mentioned that he had studied at the Military Academy in Haihan, but he did not expect that this person was a student of the same period as Wu Chengzhi.
Qian Tiandun said: "Then I guess it's not the first time he has made such a request?"
Wu Chengzhi nodded and said: "When Pumi went to Sanya to study abroad, he often expressed such thoughts, hoping to use our country's military power to help Pattani become the new hegemon of the Malay Peninsula. Now Pattani's economic strength is slowly It has increased a lot, and there should be enough military budget to support his ideas."
Qian Tiandun pondered: "Lobbying all parties to exert influence and seek more military assistance may have been one of the purposes of his study in Sanya. However, he wants Beida Nian to dominate one side, which probably has something to do with our country's diplomatic strategy towards the South my country Sea conflict?"
Haihan's strategy for the South China Sea region has always been to divide and rule, trying to prevent the emergence of a single dominant situation.Even for an ally like Annan, Haihan intentionally or unintentionally suppressed the extent of its external expansion and prevented it from annexing small neighboring countries.
Wu Chengzhi said with a smile: "It can't be blamed entirely on Pattani's ambitions. They want to expand outwards, so why don't other countries have such ideas? Pattani wants to move the border southward by dozens of miles. Kelantan in the south has always wanted to push the border north.”
Qian Tiandun heard that he seemed to want to protect Beida Nian, so he tentatively asked: "Beida Nian is far away from Sanya. If it is ordinary military training, it should be closer to Cam Ranh Bay Base, right?"
Wu Chengzhi didn't mean to hide it, and responded calmly: "As your lord said, the Cam Ranh Bay base has indeed undertaken the task of training military personnel for Beida Nian."
Qian Tiandun looked at Mu Zhennan who had not spoken all the time, meaning to ask him whether what Wu Chengzhi said was true.
Mu Zhennan said in a deep voice: "Actually, it's not just the officers from Beida Nian who come to Cam Ranh Bay for training, we will also send instructors here to teach them in recent years."
Qian Tiandun nodded and said, "That makes sense, no wonder the king and the eldest prince acted as if it was a matter of course when they made the request."
In this way, the Beida Nian military has always been supported by the Annan garrison, and they think they have the confidence to seek a clear statement from the high-level figures of Haihan, so they made a request to Qian Tiandun in today's meeting. .
Mu Zhennan said: "It doesn't matter if you refuse them, because we have never agreed to a similar request before."
Qian Tiandun said: "But I still don't understand one thing. Since the Annan garrison specially provided them with military aid, it stands to reason that Beida Nian's military strength should have far surpassed that of neighboring countries. Why can't even a border dispute be resolved by itself? "
Mu Zhennan smiled and said, "My lord, the answer couldn't be simpler. Beida Nian has our support behind it, and Kelantan has other people's support behind it. The two sides are evenly matched, and no one can do anything to the other."
Qian Tiandun immediately came to his senses: "Could it be the Xingdao garrison behind Kelantan?"
Mu Zhennan nodded and said: "Your guess is correct. There are iron mines, gold mines and tin mines in Kelantan. At first, Sing Tao sent people to organize the mining. Today, minerals have become the country's main source of income. It is said that the Sing Tao Management Committee owns half of the shares of these mines, and later invested in many other industries in the area.”
Wu Chengzhi added: "In order to stabilize the relationship with Sing Tao, the king of Kelantan also betrothed a daughter to General Roger. So if there is any trouble in Kelantan, Sing Tao will definitely not stand idly by."
Mu Zhennan continued: "It is said that since five years ago, Kelantan has sent two batches of officers to Xingdao for training every year. General Roger also personally recommended Kelantan's naval commander to go to the Naval Academy in Sanya for advanced studies. In two years, by the way, a dozen warships were ordered at the Shengli Harbor Shipyard. As far as we know, Kelantan’s military strength may be on par with Pattani’s.”
When Qian Tiandun heard this, he fully understood that the two neighboring countries, Pattani and Kelantan, stood behind the two backers of the Annan Garrison and the Sing Tao Garrison respectively. Counting up, the Army Academy and the Navy may also be involved. The two major military factions of the academy.
The battle between the two countries is no longer a simple border dispute, but also the internal competition of the Haihan Army.Just because of their identities, the backers of both sides will not personally participate in the dispute between the two countries. They will only provide military assistance to the two countries behind the scenes, and use the two countries as chessboards and chess pieces to manipulate the confrontation.
This made Qian Tiandun think of the time and space before time travel. Two military academies in his country respectively supported an armed force in a foreign country. In the end, the country was divided into two in the armed confrontation. The forces supported by the school took power separately.
Although the battle between Pattani and Kelantan has not yet fully started, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the outbreak of a remote-controlled war by different factions in the Haihan Army continues with this momentum.
