Since these two high-ranking officials took the lead, gods from all walks of life have also rushed to express their views on public channels.But at the original publishing speed of Haihan Times, it is obviously not enough to publish the articles of so many high-ranking officials.For this reason, the Haihan Times even issued a special issue of political commentary, one every other day, to meet the sudden influx of submissions.
The original author may have used this to expand his influence and win the support of other cross-travelers. However, as the number of participants increased, their positions gradually diverged, and some senior officials who had no intention of competing for the qualification of the Executive Committee wrote articles to express their opinions. .
Behind the debate between industry and agriculture is essentially a dispute over the direction of national development.And almost every participating official can express his views on this issue from the standpoint of his own industry or department.
However, any position is based on self-interest considerations, and it is almost impossible to convince opponents with conflicts of interest by citing and exemplifying articles.
The camps of the two factions also quickly became clear. Officials engaged in industry and military affairs almost all supported foreign expansion.There are even some more radical opinions that Haihan should go all out in the next two to three generations to compete for strategic points and resource producing areas around the world, so as to ensure that in the next few hundred years, there will be a large enough advantage to become a global hegemon.
When the national strength reaches a certain level, the annexation of the traditional territories of the Han people on the East Asian continent may not need to launch a large-scale war at all, and the remaining power of the previous dynasty can be suppressed only by the difference in strength.
On the other hand, officials engaged in economic, trade, and civil affairs are more inclined to first integrate the areas ruled by the Han people, digest resources and accumulate strength, and then seek external expansion.
Of course, their reasons are also very good. The foundation of Haihan has always been in the East Asian continent. Now that the foundation is not stable, it will be forced to expand, which will cause many problems in all aspects, and may even affect the ruling foundation of the empire.
This kind of public discussion through the newspaper platform has never happened since the founding of Haihan.Although ordinary people cannot express their opinions in the same way, this does not prevent the topics of high-level debate from becoming popular topics of conversation after dinner.
What ordinary people are most interested in is not which of the two factions is superior, or how to win or lose, but that Haihan has become so powerful that he can bring up such issues for public discussion.
Whether it is inward or outward, it means that a certain degree of military means will inevitably be adopted, and even a large-scale war will break out. However, reading the attitudes of these senior officials in the newspapers, they are extremely calm about this. The land here, as long as Hai Han takes a fancy to it, he can grab it at his fingertips.
Large-scale annexation and expansion means the influx of a large amount of wealth and population, which is of course a good thing for Haihan, and the people have always been happy to see it.Whenever the Haihan army achieved great victories overseas and the news spread back to Sanya, there would often be celebrations with the participation of the whole people.
For ordinary people, the internal or external route is not so important, what they value more is the benefits of benefits.For example, an article published in the Times last time said that Sing Tao’s newly occupied overseas territory not only means the expansion of Haihan’s territory, but also will bring more opportunities for the people to make a fortune or enter an official career.
Even if you are a commoner, you have the opportunity to become a big landlord in the new territory and become a magistrate. This is the most intuitive benefit to the people.
Of course, not everyone is happy to see such a situation. For example, envoys sent by various countries, especially those from Western countries and small countries in the South China Sea, will feel nervous about the recent trend of public opinion.
Once Haihan decides to focus its development on the south and west, the country they represent will bear the brunt of the impact, and it may even cause disastrous consequences.
The Portuguese embassy and the Dutch embassy were the first to sit still. As Western colonial powers, they could not just sit back and watch Haihan discuss how to snatch the sphere of influence that originally belonged to them in such an open manner. They must take action.
Even if Haihan cannot be stopped, he must at least express his position and exert diplomatic pressure to make Haihan aware of the possible international risks his actions may cause.
So led by the Portuguese ambassador Thomas and the Dutch ambassador Su Keyi, they united Siam, Aceh, Johor, Perak, Kedah, Selangor, Terengganu, Kelantan, Pattani, Brunei, Sulu, and Matalam in the South China Sea. The other countries submitted a joint petition to the executive committee, requesting Haihan to stop its military expansion in the South China Sea.
Of course, as Haihan's hardcore ally and one of the beneficiaries of foreign expansion, Annan did not participate in the joint petition.
Annan has really benefited from Haihan's expansion over the years. He not only exported a large amount of grain, coal, iron and other materials to Haihan, but also relied on Haihan's support to become the leading military power in the Indochina Peninsula.
Up to now, almost all the ports operated by Haihan in various places have trading organizations set up by Annan.Annan's current maritime trade system spread across East Asia is almost all developed on this basis.
Which direction Haihan will develop in the future may not be determined for the time being, but Annan's attitude has not changed as before - wherever Haihan is going, Annan will follow closely.
Therefore, although Annan was invited to participate in this activity of foreign embassies submitting petitions in series, Annan refused to participate without hesitation.
Not only that, the Annan embassy also specially published an article on the Haihan Times, which emphasized that the brotherly friendship between the two countries is unbreakable, Annan will continue to support Haihan unconditionally, and will face obstacles on the way forward with Haihan .
Of course, even without Annan's participation, so many countries jointly signed the petition, and its influence cannot be ignored.The Executive Committee had to hold a special meeting to discuss how to deal with the pressure from the diplomatic field.
"My opinion is very simple. If you feel that you need to quiet them down, then let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs come forward to appease them first, and other departments can do what they should do. When the raw rice is cooked, no one will make a noise. .”
Yan Chujie didn't care about the influence of this joint petition. In his opinion, these ambassadors who only talked and played with pens were not enough to shake Haihan's established development path.
With a strong national power and an invincible army as a guarantee, does Haihan need to pay attention to their opinions?Do I need to ask for their consent?
To give them room to speak out and to give them decent diplomatic treatment is, in Yan Chujie's view, already Haihan's greatest respect for these tiny countries as a big country.
