Chapter 1000 Reception work

The content of this meeting was to announce the identified and implemented measures to various departments and agencies. There was not much room for discussion, so the meeting did not last too long and ended in more than an hour. When the meeting ended,

Tao Donglai asked several leaders from the military, police, and security departments to stay alone to discuss security measures during the celebration.

"Two big guys from the Security Department, let's talk first!" As the head of the Police Department, Ren Liang was considered a junior among the few people left at the scene, but he took the initiative to start the conversation first: "The police and the military

The arrangements made by both parties must be adjusted based on the intelligence from the Ministry of Security. If the two bosses have any new information, they might as well let us know first."

As an intelligence agency directly under the Haihan Executive Committee, the Ministry of Security has indeed higher authority for non-military operations than the military and police. The intelligence information it possesses is often reserved and will not immediately target the military.

The police came clean.

Of course He Xi could hear the dissatisfaction in Ren Liang's words, and smiled and said: "So far, we have not found any intention of hostile forces to take action during the celebration, so the focus of prevention this time should still be

In terms of public security, of course, as a precaution, the emergency response team must still be on standby."

The emergency response team is an emergency response force composed of elite personnel from the military, the Ministry of Security, and the Police Department for the security needs of the celebration. Although the number is only 200, these three companies basically use their best personnel.

With the investment of equipment and equipment, the strength of this force cannot be underestimated. Although the three parties have also established a joint command in celebrations in the past few years, this is the first time that a special service team has been organized.

"Old He, everyone here is our own people. You don't need to be so official when you speak. If you have news, break it. If not, we will leave early. Everyone has a lot of things at hand these days. Don't waste time needlessly." Yan Chujie obviously didn't want to.

I am willing to take the time to talk in circles and get straight to the point: "Then let me start by talking about the military's arrangements!"

The military's troops deployed in Sanya during this celebration include two fully reinforced army battalions, a task force including two flagships, and artillery units stationed at Victory Port and Sanya Port's coastal defense forts, a

There is a cavalry company with 80 horses. There are also small teams sent by garrisons from various places to participate in the military parade. In total, there are about two companies. In addition, the local militia forces in Sanya will also be organized to help maintain law and order during the celebration.

There is almost a battalion of troops. Even if some unscrupulous hostile forces choose this time to raid Sanya, the local garrison will be enough to deal with it.

After hearing this, He Xi continued: "A force of this size is enough to capture the city of Guangzhou, and it is more than enough to guard the port. In fact, there is no need to tense up too much. We have accumulated enough experience in anniversary security work in the past few years.

We have a lot of experience, just follow the practices of previous years. We have arranged a sufficient number of security personnel at various ports, terminals, transportation hubs, and celebration venues, and the measures have basically been implemented to the extreme. The rest is to do our best and listen to fate.

.”

Hao Wanqing also said: "As for intelligence, the Ministry of Security will not hold anything back during the celebration, so please rest assured. You will also know the information we get as soon as possible, and there will be no obvious information lag."

The two ministers of the Ministry of Security both expressed their attitudes, and the other people had nothing to criticize. Ultimately, this was because of the shadow left by the espionage case more than two months ago. Although that case did not cause too much trouble to Haihan,

A huge direct loss, but it has sounded the alarm to all departments. I am afraid there are many spies like the criminal Du Wen who have been lurking in Haihan for several years without being discovered.

If Du Wen and others had not taken the initiative, it would have been difficult for the Haihan security agency to discover their true identities. If the target of their assassination was not the messengers and accomplices, but the time travellers, there was a theoretical possibility of success.

For Jin's time-travelers, it has always been a hidden danger that is difficult to completely eliminate. Most of these strict security measures during the celebration were actually set up for the personal safety of the time-travelers.

At the same time, Ning Qi, Schneider and Gu Kai went to the Guest House not far from the Victory Fort and met separately with the viewing groups from various countries that had arrived in Sanya. This time Haihan distributed invitations widely in the South China Sea and launched an invitation to more than ten countries.

received the invitation, and more than half of the countries were invited to send viewing groups to Sanya. Although these countries may not really want to stand on the same front as Haihan, many of them came to see which way the wind is blowing, but for Haihan

The establishment of these international relations is quite necessary. These countries will not only be the markets that Haihan will open up in the future, but also become the production areas of important resources. They will even be the targets of Haihan's territorial expansion. There are many corresponding preparations.

The work must start from the current stage of diplomatic contacts.

Schneider and Gu Kai, as the two people with the best foreign languages ​​on the executive committee, were responsible for receiving the Dutch and Portuguese missions respectively, while Ning Qi was in charge of the Annan mission - this basically means that except for the Ming Dynasty, Haihan is currently in

These are the three countries that attach the greatest importance to foreign relations. If we exclude the Ming Dynasty, these three countries account for almost 70% of Haihan’s foreign trade.

Of course, the Netherlands was Haihan's main opponent in the past few years. Although the diplomatic relations between the two sides have been greatly eased in the past year, the trade exchanges are basically non-public and are not open to the public.

No official trade relationship has been established, and it is basically operated by private businessmen. It is difficult to obtain specific statistics on trade volume. It was not until the end of the preliminary consultations on the South China Sea Trade Alliance on Ambrosia Island that all parties reached a consensus.

Only then did Haihan begin officially recognized trade relations with the Dutch.

As the official representative of the Netherlands in the Far East, the East India Company basically took over all of the country's trade in the Far East, and its demand for various products far exceeded that of Portugal. Therefore, as soon as trade relations were established, it aroused great concern among merchants.

Enthusiasm. Especially the merchants of the Ming Dynasty who were too far away from Batavia were unwilling to take the risk of a long voyage to Nanyang. They were more willing to conduct entrepot trade through the port of Haihan, and Haihan was in a position to make money.

, are naturally happy to promote this form of trade.

This time, the Governor-General of the East India Company, Van Diemen, arrived in Sanya a month in advance. Under the arrangement of Haihan, he visited Hainan Island for more than half a month and gained a lot. In addition to witnessing Haihan with his own eyes,

In addition to the construction achievements of the areas under its rule, it also gained a deeper understanding of Haihan's output and demand. Combined with the East India Company's own business projects and maritime transport capacity, it was easy to find huge business opportunities.

Through previous contacts with Schneider, Ning Qi and others, Van Diemen also gradually realized that the ultimate purpose of Haihan's use of military means was to expand trade. If the East India Company could recognize the situation early like the Portuguese, and take the initiative to fight with

If Haihan cooperated, then perhaps a direct armed conflict between the two sides could have been avoided. Of course, it is not too late to realize this. In addition to his own output, Haihan now also controls the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty.

With thousands of miles of coastline, if the East India Company wanted to gain trade power in Northeast Asia, it would have no way to bypass Haihan. And by cooperating with Haihan, the benefits would indeed far exceed the East India Company's compromise with him.

losses. In the long run, cooperation is more in line with the interests of the East India Company than confrontation.

Although the number of the Dutch mission this time was not large, Heihan still arranged a villa for Van Diemen and his party in the guest house, which could accommodate twenty people, to show the official importance. And Van Diemen was very concerned about the visit.

He was also quite satisfied with the courtesy he received during his stay in Sanya. He even thought that if the Haihan delegation visited Batavia, it would be difficult for the East India Company to give them equal treatment in terms of accommodation conditions. A place like the Haihan Guest House is worth a visit.

It is said to be extremely luxurious, and the interior is always filled with exquisite blue and white porcelain furnishings. Batavia does not have such good conditions.

Schneider came to see Van Diemen today, mainly to have final communication with him about the arrangements during the celebration, and to talk about the trade progress between the two parties. After the two parties took their seats, Schneider took the initiative to get to the point: "I came here today to confirm with you.

Let me briefly outline the arrangements during the celebration. If you have any questions, you can ask them."

Haihan’s founding ceremony is scheduled for the morning of April 1st. The main content is that the Executive Committee issues the Founding Declaration, followed by the military parade. As a guest of the ceremony, he will go to the viewing platform from the beginning of the ceremony to participate in the entire morning activities.

It will last about two hours, and then there will be a luncheon, which will be attended by envoys and dignitaries from various countries. In the afternoon, a naval parade will be held at Victory Port, which will be similar in duration to the morning. In the evening, a grand state banquet will be held at Victory Fort, and

Fireworks will be set off on the pier of Victory Port to celebrate with all the people.

Starting from April 2, envoys from various countries will continue to negotiate on the South China Sea Trade Alliance and transform the various drafts, intention agreements, etc. signed last time on Amborna Island into a formal trade treaty. If the process goes well, it will be held on the same day.

Announce to the outside world the official establishment of the South China Sea Trade Alliance, an international business organization.

Of course, it does not mean that they will be disbanded after signing the agreement. Envoys and businessmen from so many countries have the opportunity to get together, so there will naturally be many deals to discuss. Under the large organizational framework of the South China Sea Trade Alliance, various countries can

There are also more trade details that need to be negotiated. Moreover, Haihan is the core of trade in the South China Sea. Almost every country wants to obtain some international trade conveniences from Haihan. There are really a lot of bilateral and multilateral consultations that need to be carried out.

, we will definitely not be able to finish the conversation within three to five days.

Some people like Van Diemen who came early had already talked a lot before the celebration, while some people who were stuck in time to come to Sanya probably had to wait until after the celebration and slowly go from house to house.

Let's negotiate terms.

In addition, countries that have established diplomatic relations with Haihan will also hold formal diplomatic establishment ceremonies during this period and sign agreements to exchange ambassadors. Of course, for countries like Annan that have established diplomatic relations with Haihan for six years, this is really just a formality.

It's a formality.

The activities officially arranged by Haihan will only last until April 5th. The subsequent itinerary and stay will be arranged by the parties themselves. But for the official activities in the first two days of April, Haihan hopes that everyone will come by invitation.

Representatives from all parties were able to attend on time.

After hearing this, Van Diemen asked for the opinion of his attendant Su Keyi, and made only one request to Schneider: "Can I bring an armed entourage with me when attending official events?"

"I suggest you don't do this." Schneider advised: "We will provide escorts for each distinguished guest. Our people are more familiar with the situation here and can accept unified command and deployment. They will be better than your own entourage."

The personnel are safer and more reliable. If you must insist, you must remove all weapons before entering the venue, and the number of people cannot exceed two people. Such measures are not only for your safety, but also for the safety of other guests attending the meeting.

"

"Okay, I believe in your country's arrangements. I will attend all official events." Van Diemen did not insist. After listening to Schneider's suggestions, he chose to obey the arrangements, but he immediately made another request: "

But I hope there won’t be any obvious gap with a certain country in terms of treatment.”

Schneider naturally understood which country Van Diemen was referring to, and immediately said with a smile: "You can rest assured about this issue. Considering the relationship between your country and Portugal, we will try our best to keep things even.

No one of you will feel unfair treatment. By the way, will the East India Company establish an office in Sanya after this?"

"Of course it is necessary." Fan Diemen nodded and said: "The person in charge has been decided, Mr. Su Keyi next to me. This is his second time in Sanya, and he is familiar with the environment here.

In addition, since he is Chinese, there will be no language barrier in communicating with you. I think there is no one more suitable for this position among my subordinates."

This personnel arrangement was basically expected by Haihan and was completely consistent with the predictions of the Ministry of Security. Therefore, Schneider was not surprised after hearing Van Diemen's reply. He nodded to Su Keyi and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Su on taking office first."

Got it!"

Su Keyi quickly stood up and thanked him. This was indeed a big promotion for him personally. Van Diemen arranged for him to stay in Sanya. This was both trust and a good job. During his inspection around the island, Van Diemen basically

The land, procedures, employment and other matters required for the office in the early stage have been taken care of, and we can only start operations after the celebration.

"Then you can take a rest these days and see you again on the day of the celebration." Schneider stood up and said goodbye: "We will not arrange any more social dinners before the celebration. I hope you will not feel slighted."

"Oh no, no, no, I will never have such an idea. The food provided by the guest house is very good, I am very satisfied." When the banquet was mentioned, Fan Diemen's face changed slightly and he quickly dealt with the topic. He didn't want to

Let’s continue the kind of life where I’m fed all kinds of food every day.
Chapter completed!
