Chapter 2920

After roughly discussing matters related to the Liaodong industrial project, the Executive Committee also had one matter that required Bai Kesi to give a clear opinion, which was the arrangements for the transfer of Qian Tiandun and the special warfare division from Liaodong to the South China Sea.

In fact, Qian Tiandun's application submitted to the Executive Committee already stated the reason for going south. He hoped to conquer more places for Haihan while he still had the energy. At the same time, it was also for the special warfare division to continue to play its role.

To prevent such an elite force with huge investment from just staying in Liaodong to retire.

Although Bai Kesi was not a member of the military, one of his missions on this trip to Liaodong was to confirm that there was no other inside story about the transfer of Qian Tiandun's troops.

"According to the information I learned from the local area, Qian Tiandun has a very high personal prestige in the Northern Region, but he has always lacked interest in local government affairs and has never accepted the appointment of a local consul. Moreover, he has maintained a close relationship with Chen Yixin and others

He has a very good personal relationship with me, so I am sure that his voluntary departure was not due to a fight for power or anything like that.”

Bai Kesi was relatively sure of the reason why Qian Tiandun left Liaodong voluntarily, because Chen Yixin and others did not try to erase the various influences he had left after he left, and they did not hesitate to appoint a large number of people who had worked for Qian Tiandun in terms of personnel.

The people who work for you.

For example, Sun Zhen, who was responsible for investigating the Qingyang Fort robbery, left a very deep impression on Bai Kesi with his decisive style of killing. Sun Zhen was one of Qian Tiandun's confidants, and Chen Yixin arranged for him to serve as the commander of the Shenyang garrison.

, which also shows that you have great trust in it.

As for the legacy Qian Tiandun left in the Northern Region, in addition to the large number of elite soldiers originally affiliated with the special warfare division, there were also many personal properties directly entrusted to Chen Yixin.

As far as Bai Kesi knows, Qian Tiandun owns many industries in Shandong and Liaodong, covering agriculture, fishery, mining, salt production, transportation, commerce and other fields. At the same time, he is also the chairman of the Denglai Chamber of Commerce, the largest private business organization in Shandong.

One of the secret major shareholders, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is as rich as the country.

After Qian Tiandun left, most of these industries were directly handed over to Chen Yixin for management. Such mutual trust shows that the two have a very good personal relationship. And the conditions promised by Qian Tiandun when he applied to lead his troops south

One is to bear part of the military expenses of the special operations division by itself, which depends on its industries in the north.

To put it simply, after Qian Tiandun goes south, the various military operations he will carry out will still rely on the support provided by the Northern Region. If he had any disagreements with the officials of the Northern Region, I am afraid he will not make such a bold move.

decision.

Ning Qi responded: "In this case, we were overly worried about our earlier thoughts."

Bai Kesi said: "Chen Yixin expressed his position to me face to face. If Qian Tiandun's actions in the South China Sea do not go well, the Northern Region may take the initiative to organize troops to go south for reinforcements. As long as Qian Tiandun needs it, the Northern Region can ask for help.

If people want money, give them money."

To this extent, Chen Yixin is either a treacherous and evil person, or he has a fateful relationship with Qian Tiandun. Qian Tiandun and his troops went thousands of miles away, and Chen Yixin did not

There is no need to perform such a thankless drama, so of course there is no need to doubt that Qian Tiandun chose to leave the Northern Region voluntarily because of other hidden reasons.

After talking about the situation in Liaodong, the topic returned to the South China Sea again.

"I went to Cam Ranh Port a few days ago and met with Qian Tiandun and others to discuss the upcoming military operations in the South China Sea. As expected, they issued a large number of arms orders. Now you are very busy!

"After Yan Chujie said this, he asked someone to present a stack of folders to Bai Kesi.

These are all the results of the talks that Yan Chujie brought back from Cam Ranh Port. Various South China Sea forces, including the special operations division, took advantage of this rare opportunity to ask him to increase their armaments.

The situation in the South China Sea has been relatively peaceful in recent years, and the country's development focus has always been in the north. These troops have no reason to expand and upgrade their armaments on a large scale. However, the military operation Qian Tiandun is planning to launch in the South China Sea,

Rather, it provides a rare opportunity for military leaders from all parties to reasonably and legally submit war preparation requirements to the Executive Committee.

Bai Kesi took the hand, flipped through a few pictures at random, and said repeatedly: "They are really rude... Will the Ministry of National Defense bear these orders, or will the local garrison pay for them themselves?"

Yan Chujie said: "The Ministry of National Defense has so much military expenses in the South China Sea. It can only bear half of it. These people are very rich. It is not too much to let them subsidize half of it themselves."

Although Yan Chujie's words are meant to shirk the blame, they are indeed true. Just like Qian Tiandun's situation in the Northern Region, these military leaders in Nanhai have many private properties in the local area, and the wealth accumulated over the years is even more difficult to achieve.

Count. But if they want to upgrade and expand weapons and equipment for their troops, they still have to submit an application to the Ministry of National Defense and wait for the timetable. If Haihan hadn't always strictly controlled the arms industry, these people might have invested in their own construction.

A private arsenal.

Therefore, even if the Ministry of National Defense will only bear part of the war preparation funds for the garrison troops stationed in various places in the South China Sea, military leaders from various places will still not miss this rare opportunity to improve their strength. At most, they will scold Yan Chujie behind his back for being stingy.

Of course, whether the garrisons in these places can obtain the weapons and equipment on the list they submitted as they wish, in addition to raising part of their own funds, it also depends on how Baikes arranges the production plan next.

Bai Kesi said: "According to the production and delivery situation of the ordnance industry system in recent years, your Ministry of National Defense should still have a lot of weapons and equipment in stock, right? Just click and fire a few rounds, right?"

Yan Chujie shook his head and said: "In recent years, the strength of the troops stationed on the mainland has increased several times, how can there be much inventory... and many troops in the South China Sea are still using weapons and equipment produced in the 1930s.

It’s time to arrange an upgrade.”

Due to Haihan's rapid expansion in the mainland, the size of the garrison has also grown accordingly, and most of the weapons and equipment produced by the ordnance industry system have been given priority to the garrison troops on the mainland.

As for the South China Sea, there have not been many combat missions in recent years, and the need to replace new equipment is naturally not urgent. The Ministry of National Defense is happy to save trouble, and local governments do not want to spend money on areas that have no effect. Therefore, many troops

So the old weapons were used until they became useless.

Ning Qi said: "According to this, these troops in the South China Sea have not fought much in recent years, and they have not had much opportunity to come into contact with new equipment. Their training level is worrying! They are suddenly being sent out to fight. Will there be any problems?"

Tao Donglai responded meaningfully: "If there is really a problem, it would be better to expose it earlier."
