"Good news! Good news! Our army has captured three islands in the South China Sea!"
Several newsboys stood at the busiest intersection of Shengli Avenue, shouting about today's major news.
Within the range covered by their cries, there are some of the most high-end teahouses and restaurants in the area, and people with money and leisure come in and out.
The place chosen by the newsboys was indeed good, but after a lot of selling, there were very few people who responded, and there was no grand occasion where people snapped up newspapers to see the news of victory.
In the past few months, the Haihan Army has almost become a permanent guest on the front pages of several major newspapers. Every so often, news of victory from the South China Sea dominates the headlines. The public is more or less accustomed to this.
However, the vast majority of people are just watching the excitement. As an after-dinner conversation, few people can realize through these news why the recent frequent military operations in the South China Sea started, what is the real purpose, for the country, for themselves , and what impact will it have.
"Go buy me a Times, man."
The person who spoke was a dark-skinned young man. He took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a note and put it on the table, and said softly, "The rest is a tip."
"Master Tan, wait a moment, I'll go buy it for you." The waiter first bowed to the young man, then took the money on the table with a smile on his face, and went downstairs quickly.Obviously, this is not the first time he has received such an errand.
The five-storey meditation loft next to the crossroads is one of the most upscale teahouses in downtown Sanya, but outside is the Shengli Avenue that runs through the port area of the city, and it is full of traffic and bustling every day. I want to seek "quiet meditation" in this place , it is naturally impossible.
Although the surroundings are noisy, it is not a good place to drink tea and meditate, but because it is located in the center of the city, the consumption of Jingsi Pavilion is really not low.
The price of a cup of ordinary scented tea at Jingsi Pavilion is more than three times that of ordinary teahouses.And the fifth-floor lean-to where the man surnamed Tan sits requires a minimum consumption of five yuan per person, which is almost enough to spend a month in a small teahouse in the port area.
Although the price is high, there are many high-end customers in Sanya, and the Jingsi Pavilion with its superior location has never been short of customers.What's more, the purpose of some people coming to Jingsi Pavilion is not to drink tea.Spend money to buy a seat in this place, and after a long time, you will naturally get some information that ordinary people cannot access.
It’s just that rich tea drinkers who really pursue quietness and enjoy tea tasting will definitely not choose Jingsi Pavilion located in the busy city. There are several secluded tea gardens and tea houses on the nearby Fenghuang Ridge. They only accept regular customers, that’s what they like where to go.
Not long after, the guy ran upstairs quickly, and handed over the newspaper with the smell of ink in both hands: "Master Tan, the newspaper you want. The newsletter that was just published today just happened to be delivered, and the little one bought a copy on his own initiative." share."
With the money given by the man surnamed Tan, there is still money left over to buy these two newspapers. The man took this opportunity to sell them well, and the next reward will be indispensable.
As the newsboys shouted, the front-page news of today's Times is the military operation launched by the Sing Tao Region in the Strait of Malacca.
Compared with the performance of the Luzon region in the Philippine Islands in the previous two months, the Xingdao region was obviously smoother. It sent troops at the beginning of the new year, and then only took a few days to successfully take down three islands, and So far, there have been no casualties, which shows that the situation on the battlefield is extremely favorable for Haihan.
The original article in the newspaper used adjectives such as "cutting melons and cutting vegetables" to report on this operation, and declared that such a victory was of great significance for Haihan to achieve complete control of the Straits of Malacca.
Of course, the article did not forget to praise the strategizing of the two commanders, Roger and Qian Tiandun. With these two commanders on the front line, it is logical to win.
Compared with the official media Haihan Times, the Sanya Express he read next seemed to be less "friendly" in its reports.
Although the headlines of the Express also reported the achievements of the Haihan Army in the Strait of Malacca, a commentator article on the front page began to discuss the value of this operation from another angle.
"According to the official information released by Xingdao, the dispatch of troops this time is to fight against pirates, but two army divisions and hundreds of ships of various sizes have been dispatched for this purpose. Is it suspected of abusing military expenditures and killing chickens with a sledgehammer?"
"The three islands occupied this time belong to Kedah and Siam respectively. The other party will certainly not sit back and watch our country occupy its territory. There may be a risk of conflict in the future."
"In addition, the combined area of the three islands occupied by the Xingdao Army is not as large as any of the seven islands harvested in the previous campaign in the Luzon Region. There were no casualties in our army, so it can be seen that the battle on the front line is not fierce. We dispatched our two famous soldiers General, but there is only such a harvest, what is there to be proud of?"
"Old Fu believes that exterminating pirates is a necessary measure to maintain the safety of navigation, but the incident happened thousands of miles away from Xingdao, and it belongs to another country's territory. Xingdao dispatched a large army to suppress the border. Is this reasonable and will it damage international relations? , is debatable.”
The man surnamed Tan became more and more annoyed as he looked at it. He slapped the table hard and cursed, "Telling tales! I don't know how to live!"
The man standing not far away was taken aback, and hurried over and asked, "What orders does Young Master Tan have?"
The man surnamed Tan knew that this was a public place, so it was inconvenient to vent his anger on a teahouse waiter, and waved his hands: "It's okay, it's just that I'm not feeling well for a while..."
Someone from a table next to him greeted him: "This little brother is so angry, could it be that he read the article in the express that criticized Xingdao?"
The man surnamed Tan turned his head and saw that a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman was sitting at the table, and there was also an express on the table, and immediately responded: "The express publishes such an article, it is really courageous!"
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Brother, you probably don't read the newsletter very much, right? This editor has always been like this. He always likes to criticize current events to show his knowledge. But as long as the executive committee rewards Xingdao's military exploits, he will probably Change your tone and shout out for Sing Tao. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the previous issues of the Express to read, when he reported the battle situation in the Luzon region, that’s how he did it.”
The man surnamed Tan said angrily: "Isn't this a piece of grass jumping around?"
The middle-aged man said: "The so-called man is as his name suggests, this man is a good example."
When the man surnamed Tan heard the words, he looked carefully at the signature of the article. The author's name was "Fu Qiqiang". After thinking about it for a while, he laughed and said, "What a villain!"
The middle-aged man echoed: "Only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. The villain on the wall is indeed the real face of this person."
The man surnamed Tan said: "But this person is so capricious, he will only be disgusting, what good is it for him?"
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "There are more people scolding him, which is also a kind of reputation. With a reputation, it will naturally be profitable."
