Chapter 3132

Thomas's thinking is different from Simao's. He believes that a high-ranking official like Shi Diwen cannot simply use his status as a military general to judge the interests he represents.

As a local governor, Shi Diwen must also consider the development prospects of the area under his rule, which is most likely to be prioritized over the interests of the military.Because the Donghai region will soon become the Gyeonggi region of Haihan, its importance will of course far exceed the islands thousands of miles away.

Based on the various information sent back from the north, Thomas judged that the local interest groups would definitely try their best to win the attention of the Haihan Executive Committee, and Shi Diwen, as their spokesperson for interests, should be more inclined to report to the Haihan Executive Committee during this period. Conservatives who frequently speak out in the world regard the East Asian continent as the focus of development in the next step.

As for the expansion of Luo Jie, Qian Tiandun and others in the South China Sea, it is difficult for Shi Diwen, who is far away in Hangzhou, to get much real benefit from it. Thomas really can't think of any reason for Shi Diwen to give up his own interests and agree to go south. Expansion strategy - unless this is one of the exchange conditions for Shi Diwen to enter the executive committee.

But Thomas knew that he couldn't convince Simao, so he could only make a compromise suggestion: "Maybe we can use the name of watching the ceremony, go north with the Haihan executive committee, and then adapt to the situation when we get there, and see if we can try to influence the Haihan people." decision."

This is actually not a good idea, it sounds more like a helpless act of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.But Simao couldn't think of any effective way, even though Thomas' idea sounded unreliable, so he had to try his best.

Simao asked back: "Then this errand, will you go or I will go?"

Thomas smiled wryly and said, "The executive committee is gone, so what's the point of leaving someone alone in Sanya? I think it's better to go together. If something unexpected happens, we can discuss it together."

After thinking about it, Simao thought it was reasonable, so he asked his staff to quickly draw up the documents and submit the application to the Haihan Ministry of Foreign Affairs as soon as possible.Calculating the time, the Executive Committee should leave in the next few days, otherwise it is likely that it will not be able to arrive in Hangzhou before the National Day. If the application is delayed, the diplomatic procedures may not even be completed in time.

But they didn't expect that the people with similar ideas were actually far more than the Portuguese family.

Some well-informed people had already learned of the lineup of the new executive committee and the arrangements for visiting Hangzhou through special channels before the news hit the newspapers.Although they may not have the special diplomatic needs of the Portuguese, it is never wrong to make friends with new high-ranking officials who have joined the Executive Committee at the first time. If you want to seize the opportunity, you must take the initiative to post it.

While the Portuguese was still figuring out what name to use to go to Hangzhou with the executive committee, someone had already submitted an accompanying application to Fort Victory.

Among them are business people and envoys from individual countries.It is common for members of the executive committee to visit with a delegation of dozens of people, so usually this kind of application will not be rejected, but in case this trip limits the number of entourages, of course, the sooner you submit the application, the better your chances. big.

In addition, there are also many people from various departments of Haihan who want to follow this trip.

This trip to the north is a rare collective action by the executive committee in recent years. Considering the long distance and the many projects to be inspected after arriving in the Donghai region, it may take several months for these senior officials to leave Sanya.

In order to handle official duties during this period, various departments have to deploy some staff to accompany them.For many people, this is a rare opportunity to earn performance in front of high-ranking officials.

However, for some special departments, this trip is not an opportunity to show off, but a drudgery that needs to be full of energy throughout the whole process without any mistakes.

In a secluded mountain depression under Fenghuangling Mountain in Sanya, there is a large gray small building hidden on the mountain. Although there are no checkpoints on the road leading to this area, ordinary people usually do not break in on their own, at most they will only go far away. Just take a look around and give up, because the owner of these small gray buildings is the very mysterious Ministry of Security.

Although the Ministry of Security usually keeps a low profile and rarely sees reports about them in the newspapers, most Haihan citizens have heard of the Ministry of Security, and various anecdotes about this yamen have been circulating among the people all the year round.However, very few people can tell clearly what the Ministry of Security is responsible for and how much power it holds.

Some people compare it to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, who specialize in investigating and handling various major cases and apprehending serious criminals.Some people think that they are just the Royal Forest Army, responsible for the security of the senior officials of Haihan.Some people think that the Ministry of Security is actually the equivalent of the Daming East Factory and West Factory, with greater power than Jinyiwei and more ruthless actions.

Although the two ministers of the Ministry of Security have never been elected to the Executive Committee in the past 30 years, the public generally believes that the power they hold may not be much worse than the members of the Executive Committee and overseas officials of the ruling party.

But those who work in the security department may not agree with these views of the outside world.

It's just a errand that sounds very good. In fact, most of the time, they are not allowed to reveal their identities, let alone show their faces outside at will.

Those who actually perform tasks outside are only a small group of people in the Ministry of Security.

There are even some people who have worked in the Ministry of Security for 30 or [-] years, and have been staying in these small gray buildings with documents. They have never been on field missions, let alone arresting criminals and hunting targets. They have nothing to do.

A carriage came from the south and turned into the branch road leading to the security department without stopping at the fork. The people in the carriage didn't pay attention to the "Do not enter" warning sign on the side of the road.

The secret whistle on the side of the road put down the warning whistle in his hand after seeing the "An" sign on the carriage.There are not many people in the security department who come and go in this kind of custom-made carriage, but no matter who they are, they are not the ones that a small role like him can provoke.

The passenger in the car was none other than Gong Shiqi, one of the persons in charge of field affairs in the security department.

Gong Shiqi stared at the scene outside the car window expressionlessly. For him, this place has not changed much from 20 years ago, just like the mission he shouldered.

The road under the wheels was still so potholed that he was almost knocked out of the seat several times.

The budget of the Ministry of Security has always been adequate, so why has it never considered smoothing this road?
And those small gray buildings built more than 20 years ago, why not tear them down and rebuild them, like other yamen, build a few office buildings that look majestic?

Is it reluctant to spend money on this, or is it deliberately keeping the old look here, so that the Executive Committee feels that the Ministry of Security has spent all the money wisely.

However, these problems will not cause too much trouble to Gong Shiqi.He seldom stays in Sanya now, he works outside almost all year round, and he returns to this place less and less.

This time he was transferred back to Sanya by He Xi, and all the things that should be done were almost done. He knew that it should be time to set off again.After returning here today to see He Xi, you can start packing your luggage.
