Su Yongshan was young and energetic, he didn't know who Gong Shiqi was, so it was understandable for him to say such words rashly.But Su Keyi has stayed in Sanya for more than 20 years, and his understanding of Haihan is far beyond comparison. When he heard his son say that he wanted to compete with Gong Shiqi, he was really shocked.
Gong Shiqi was one of the generals of the Ministry of Security 20 years ago. He has always been known for his ruthless actions. He does not know how many spies from various countries have fallen into his hands. Anyway, the Dutch East India Company has eaten several times at Gong Shiqi. times bored.
Su Keyi didn't want his son to disappear inexplicably one day, so he immediately ordered Su Yongshan not to provoke Gong Shiqi, otherwise he would be sent back to Batavia for strict supervision.
In fact, Su Yongshan just wanted to save face, and wanted to say a few tough words to save him.When he had talked with Gong Shiqi before, he was already extremely nervous, and his momentum was completely suppressed. How could he have the courage to continue fighting with him.
Now, after being reprimanded by Su Keyi, he just went down the slope and avoided a big trouble for himself.
However, Su Yongshan was still a little worried: "Father, the Ministry of Security suddenly intervened. Wouldn't it be inconvenient for us to contact senior Haihan officials these few days?"
Su Keyi said: "It's okay. Don't underestimate the old foxes of the Haihan Executive Committee. Don't they think about things that Gong Shiqi can think of?"
Su Yongshan said: "Father means that they actually knew our purpose of coming, but they still arranged for us to board this ship?"
Su Keyi nodded and said, "If it wasn't for the many years of friendship between my father and the executive committee, no matter how good the reasons are, I wouldn't be treated as a companion on the same boat... You have seen the reaction of the Portuguese before."
Su Yongshan said with a smile: "Using Haihan's common saying, their performance is really envy, jealousy and hatred."
Su Keyi said: "The last time I teamed up with the Portuguese, I felt that they were short-sighted and too small-sighted. They only wanted to keep their territory and prevent Haihan from getting involved. The reason for recruiting other countries was purely for the benefit of Haihan. There is no such thing as a decent overall plan."
"Instead of expecting to join hands with them, it is better for us to do it alone. Even if they Westerners learn to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, they still don't understand the thinking of us Han people. How can they talk to the executive committee."
Su Keyi is very aware of his own advantages, and he thinks that the executive committee's arrangement for him to accompany him on the boat is to give him a chance to communicate, so the intervention of the security department will not affect the overall situation.
He had really thought about finding a reason after arriving in Hong Kong, staying on the boat that the Executive Committee was on, and wandering all the way to Hangzhou, so there would be plenty of time.But this road was blocked by Gong Shiqi, so he could only hurry up the few days before arriving in Hong Kong.
Su Keyi asked Su Yongshan to take out a chart from his luggage, put it on the table and start studying together.The negotiation strategy he formulated was to seek the common interests of Haihan and the Dutch East India Company as much as possible, so as to restrain Haihan's plan to expand beyond the South China Sea.
This is not an easy task, because the Dutch East India Company and Haihan have not formed an alliance. They are at best trading partners. They have common interests, but not many, and it is far from enough to make Haihan give up expansion.
There are only two paths before Su Keyi. One is to guide Haihan to turn his guns to the declining Ming Dynasty. The process of digesting the Ming Dynasty's territory is enough to restrain Haihan for ten or twenty years, or even longer.
Haihan is a country established by the Han people, and the obsession with the East Asian continent and the orthodox dynasty of the Han people must be deeply rooted in the bone marrow.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Haihan has always regarded the attack on the north as a major development plan, which is the best embodiment.
Although Haihan has made frequent moves in the South China Sea in the past year, it seems that there is a tendency to change the direction of expansion, but from the recent political articles on the front pages of newspapers, it is not difficult for Su Keyi to judge that there are still quite a few people in Haihan who believe that the annexation of Ming Dynasty, The right way is to continue the inheritance of the Han regime and the heavenly kingdom.
And the executive committee obviously hasn't made a final decision on whether to annex Daming first or expand abroad first.At this time, external factors may also have an impact on the final decision of the Executive Committee.
Even if there was only a slight chance, Su Keyi wanted to give it a try and persuade the executive committee to attack Daming first.
The second way is to let Haihan shift the direction of external expansion to other places, and try to avoid impacting the interests of the East India Company.
This idea was proposed by Simao. He had followed the Haihan Army to fight everywhere, and he was very clear about the military gap between the eastern countries and Haihan.
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Spain, or any other country that was once an enemy of Hai Han, it is very difficult to contend against Hai Han on the frontal battlefield.If Haihan chooses not to move Daming temporarily, then finding another suitable target for Haihan is the best way to protect the interests of the Netherlands.
The scope of this screening is actually quite large, from the Manchus, North Korea, and Japan in Northeast Asia to the Indochina Peninsula and major archipelagos around the South China Sea, all of which may become Haihan's targets.
In contrast, the Indian Ocean region, which is separated from Haihan's current main ruling area by the entire Indochina Peninsula, seems a bit tasteless. It is far away from Haihan's mainland, lacks a natural harbor, and is not a traditional Han settlement.
Su Keyi actually didn't quite understand why Haihan was eager to establish a sphere of influence in the Indian Ocean. This could no longer be explained by the reason of "controlling the Strait of Malacca".
If you insist on a reason, Su Keyi believes that it can only be explained as "ambition"—the same ambition as Western countries.
Haihan's goal is not only the South China Sea region or the coast of the Indian Ocean, but also places farther afield.
It is said that the armed fleet sent by Haihan to the east has reached the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away, and continues to compete with the Spaniards for territory there.
Haihan's expansion method is not the same as the traditional Han Dynasty. It does not aim to conquer the East Asian continent. Instead, it is the same as Western countries, based on navigation, trying to quickly build colonies around the world. The land of the Lord is included in the territory map.
"If possible, I hope to draw Haihan's attention to the southeast of the South China Sea."
Su Keyi drew a large area on the chart with his fingers, and pointed it to Su Yongshan: "There are large areas of unclaimed land to the south and east of the Banda Sea. Maybe the Haihan people will be interested in those places."
Su Yongshan nodded knowingly and said: "But to build colonies and develop those places, tens of thousands of immigrants need to be introduced. In this way, it may be difficult for Haihan to attack other places."
Su Keyi added: "It is still the main channel for the Spaniards to enter the South China Sea from the Americas. They can continue to fight at that place and have a good time."
