Chapter 2256

Like most dignitaries of this era, after accumulating a large amount of wealth through operating Fulifeng, the Li family in Guangzhou also chose to cash out by purchasing large amounts of land and properties, especially in the dozen or so counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture.

In recent years, a large amount of land has been acquired by the Li family in various ways and is now regarded as the leading landowner in Guangdong and Guangxi.

However, because of the overseas partner Haihan, Furifeng's investment in real estate has not been limited to the Ming Dynasty. Even in various regions under Haihan's rule, there are almost all farms and plantations under the name of Furifeng.

.

For Li Nai, it was probably just a matter of words to get a piece of land for Prince Annan to build a guild hall near Guangzhou City. If it could promote his personal relationship with Zheng Zha, Li Nai wouldn't mind giving him a distant idea.

Friendly price lower than market price.

Of course, what he was actually more interested in was why Zheng Zha wanted to go to Guangzhou, just to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge? Or was there some other purpose? How could a busy man like Zheng Zha be willing to spend so much time traveling abroad?

The large circle must have some more important purpose than the guild hall.

"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say." Tao Donglai stood in the middle of the banquet hall and raised his voice and shouted, and soon the banquet hall slowly became quiet.

The guests all turned to look at Tao Donglai, knowing that he would be the one to release some key information on behalf of Haihan officials, and this was the main reason why most people came here today.

"As we all know, this year's International Military Competition will be held at the Luhuitou Base in Sanya the day after tomorrow. This is the largest event with the largest number of participants since our country has hosted this event, and our country will continue to hold this event in the future.

To promote international military exchanges. According to our statistics, ten teams will participate in the competition this year, and warriors from various countries will use their results to prove their true abilities on the field!"

"Considering some objective reasons, the content and format of this year's competition will have some minor changes compared to previous years. For example, there will be more competition items this year, and the winner of each event will be admitted to the Haihan Army combat force.

The opportunity to serve for one year. By the way, all expenses during this period will be borne by our country, and you will enjoy the same treatment as our military personnel."

This winning reward immediately aroused the emotions of the guests present. The cost of sending people to Sanya for military training in various countries has always been very high, and this kind of training is limited to the military base in Sanya, and the trainees basically do not participate in actual combat.

opportunities, but even so, all parties are still flocking to it. After all, the strength of the Haihan Army has been fully proven through its performance over the years, and it has long become an example for all parties to imitate.

It is precisely because of this that all parties are very enthusiastic about sending troops to cooperate with the Haihan Army, because only in this way can they truly have the opportunity to learn the essence of the Haihan Army. And military observers who can act with the Haihan Army during wartime are even more important.

It is a qualification that high-ranking military officers from both sides strive to obtain. However, it is the first time in history that I have heard of this practice of directly serving in the front-line troops of the Haihan Army. As for the status and treatment during service, that is a secondary issue.

Although no details have been announced, the guests who heard this condition were still inevitably excited. This was no longer just an honorary reward, but a rare opportunity to further improve the country's military level.

Tao Donglai saw the reactions of the guests around him and was very satisfied with the results achieved. This measure was decided after discussion by the executive committee, and the purpose was of course to attract the attention of all parties. With this additional reward

, it is estimated that each company will ask its people to do their best to win.

As for some problems that may arise in the subsequent implementation, such as where to be sent to complete the one-year service period, the management and establishment of relevant personnel, how to keep military secrets, etc., corresponding measures have also been formulated in advance.

Others are thinking about how to dig out Haihan's military secrets through this channel, but Haihan wants to use this method to brainwash the best military talents from all parties for a long time, at least to make them invincible to Haihan's military strength.

The mental state of victory may save Haihan a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future.

Tao Donglai pressed his palms down to signal the people present to calm down, and then continued: "This is just one of the changes we have made to the competition this year. We have notified the specific competition arrangements in advance.

Military cadets from various countries participating in the event. So you don’t have to worry that these changes will affect their on-the-spot performance. Please believe me, this year’s competition will be more exciting and intense than any previous one!”

"In addition, after the two-day competition, we will also hold a small weapons performance display event, including some weapons and equipment that will be included in next year's arms export list, as well as several types of weapons and equipment that will be included in the list of our navy and Han army.

Equipped with new weapons.”

The last item announced by Tao Donglai once again aroused the discussion among the guests. Due to limited production capacity, Haihan’s annual arms export orders are hotly contested by all parties. In some special circumstances, buyers

It is even necessary to compete for limited sales of weapons and equipment through bidding. For example, the East India Company and the Materan Kingdom suffered a lot of blood due to this.

Knowing in advance what weapons and equipment can be purchased from Haihan next year will help to arrange corresponding procurement strategies and funds this morning. Nowadays, there are more buyers, and competition is more intense than in the past. Some goods in short supply can only be purchased in full price, and the sooner

The more you pay, the more guaranteed you will get your purchase.

For big buyers like Annan and Fujian Xu Jiajun, after understanding the contents of the export list, they must immediately start planning the arms purchase plan for the next year. If nothing unexpected happens, Zheng Zha and Xu Yuxing will make arrangements with Hainan before leaving Sanya.

The Han officials roughly agreed on their intentions to ensure that they can get the equipment they want in the coming year.

Other buyers may appear to be in a hurry, because they cannot use the Haihan people's telegrams to send relevant news back to the country to seek the ruler's opinions like these two companies, and countries like Matalan are thousands of miles away from Haihan.

In a country that is miles away, it is estimated that it takes about two months for news to travel back and forth on the sea. Every step is slow and every step is slow. It is inevitable that we will fall into passivity.

This is why Haihan will announce the arms sales plan for the coming year at the end of August or early September, not only to give buyers time to deliver the news, but also to give buyers enough time to raise funds.

After all, the gold and silver they used to purchase weapons would probably have to be mobilized from various places under their control and then shipped to Sanya.

Of course, those who are more sensitive to this kind of news will also notice that Tao Donglai mentioned that he would also display some new weapons that will be equipped with the Haihan Army.

According to Haihan's consistent practice, the active weapons and equipment in the Haihan Army will not appear in the export arms list. Even those export warships that look exactly the same as the Haihan Navy only have the same appearance, such as

There is still a clear gap between some key performances such as speed and seaworthiness and the Haihan naval warship.

Therefore, these new weapons that have not yet been unveiled are obviously treasures that cannot be bought with money, and Haihan takes out these treasures to demonstrate their performance, which probably has only one purpose, which is to have a sufficient deterrent effect on all parties.

Let everyone understand the gap in strength that still exists between themselves and Haihan.

Such situations are not uncommon in the past few years. In Tian Du's ordnance workshop, at the shooting range of Luhuitou Base, and even at the National Day military parade, Haihan has demonstrated it to outsiders on various occasions more than once.

The new weapons in hand. In addition to the outstanding achievements of the Haihan Army over the years, the display of these weapons and equipment is also an important way for the outside world to gain recognition of the Haihan armed forces, and it has played its due role.

For example, a powerful artillery piece does not necessarily need to be installed in every unit under the Haihan Army. It only needs to show the effect of a live ammunition firing to the outside world on the shooting range, which is enough to deter many people's ambitions.

Many of the guests present are related to the military, and some are even soldiers themselves, so there are quite a few people who noticed this message. The Haihan Army is going to be equipped with new weapons. News like this will really make people jealous.

The weapons currently equipped by the Haihan Army are already unique in the world, but the Haihan people are obviously not satisfied with this, which may further widen the gap in armed strength between the Haihan and other countries.

Of course, there are more people who are ordinary people like Zhang Jinbao who have limited understanding of military affairs, but they can at least understand the meaning of Tao Donglai's words. As soon as he finished speaking, they clapped vigorously. This of course did not

Not only to cheer up Tao Donglai, but also to express the pride of being a Haihan citizen.

After Tao Donglai announced these things, the banquet continued. The topics discussed among the guests quickly changed from the previous variety to focusing on this event.

But there are still some people who are relatively disappointed at this time, because they have limited strength and it is difficult to win in martial arts competitions, and they do not have enough financial resources to submit arms orders to Haihan for the next year.

The crown prince of Joseon, Li Zhen, was in this mood at this time. He knew that even the best officers under his command could only strive to be among the top three in individual events, and there was still a long way to go before winning.

Therefore, most of the North Korean soldiers were just running alongside them in this competition. There is no need to expect extra rewards.

But when it comes to Haihan serving in the army, Li Zhen really doesn't care about this reward. The reason is that Haihan has a military base in Datong River, North Korea, and North Korea has always stationed soldiers there. Haihan

The daily training and mobilization of the army were not deliberately hidden from these North Korean soldiers. Even the officers' mess could be shared. Rounding it off, it was almost like serving together. Moreover, the Haihan Army stationed there was a special operations group and the Marine Corps.

Such an elite force is a treatment that no other country can ask for.

It's just that Haihan will not provide advanced military theory training at the Datong River base. At most, he can learn some superficial combat skills. To learn real skills, North Korean soldiers still have to go all the way south to Sanya.

This practice was of course deliberately done by Haihan. Otherwise, Qian Tiandun, who could bring out an ace unit like the Special Forces Group, would not be able to teach the North Koreans any military theory. The reason why North Korea is allowed to send people to Sanya

The main purpose of receiving training is to use the special environment of Sanya to gradually adapt to the values ​​​​instilled in them by Haihan, and to regard Haihan as an ally and protective umbrella ideologically, so as to eliminate the North Korean military as much as possible.

Resistance to Haihan.

This group of North Korean officers, represented by An Daoshi, have received comprehensive and systematic military training in Sanya and have sufficient understanding and understanding of the combat system of the Haihan Army. In the future, they will be able to coordinate operations between the two armies.

He will be North Korea's first choice. If Haihan finds a suitable candidate among them who is worthy of support, it will be easy to earn military merit. In a few years, he can be promoted to the North Korean army with a lot of military merit.

high position of real power.

Of course, Li Zhen is not aware of these inside stories yet. He is just a little worried about North Korea's performance in this competition. If Andosi and others fail to achieve decent results in this competition, when the news is spread back to North Korea,

There may be some voices in China questioning this way of studying abroad.

The cost of sending these soldiers to Sanya to study abroad for one year is definitely not cheap. There have been voices in China questioning whether such an approach is necessary. Some people think that these huge training funds should be spent on domestic post-war reconstruction in order to use these services.

Maximize the return on funds.

Li Zhen himself was of course a supporter of studying abroad, and after arriving in Haihan and gradually understanding the situation here, he became even more determined in this view.

Haihan's national power is obviously stronger than that of North Korea, and its military strength is much ahead. In this case, Haihan is willing to pass on its advanced experience to North Korea and help North Korea build a more powerful armed force, and the price is only training.

For the fee, this is a very cost-effective deal in Li Zhi's opinion. Apart from Haihan, who else can provide such a deal?

Although the cost is huge and some unpredictable problems may arise in the future, in Li Zhi's view, this should be an indispensable step for North Korea to enhance its comprehensive strength in the next few years.

It's just that the effect of the training has indeed not reached the expected ideal value from the current point of view. Li Zhen also understands that North Korea started late and it is unrealistic to catch up with other countries overnight, but if it cannot produce some decent results, how can he persuade

My father will continue this money-burning practice and send a second batch of people to Sanya for training within the year?

As for the large-scale purchase of arms, that is beyond the reach of North Korea, which currently needs to borrow money from Haihan even for the running of the court.
