Chapter 3112

"Senior commander of the foreign mercenary group?"

Schneider repeated it in disbelief. After receiving confirmation from Tao Donglai's eyes, he slowly shook his head and said, "This appointment... is really unusual!"

Since Sing Tao was included in the Haihan territory, it has served as the country's bridgehead in the Malacca region. Its military role is far greater than other functions. Therefore, during the more than 20 years since Sing Tao was in charge of Sing Tao, Roger has always focused on military construction.

, and regards external expansion as one of Star Island’s long-term goals.

But after all, Xingdao was limited by its own conditions and the external environment. In addition, in the early years, the country's development focus had been in the north. Xingdao could not get much support from the country, so Roger's expansion plan could not be realized at all.

The size of the Star Island garrison has not changed much over the years, and can only meet the needs of defending the territory. Moreover, due to international relations considerations, Star Island cannot send troops to invade the territories of neighboring countries at will, so the expansion rate of the ruling area is far slower than that of other countries.

Region.

In this environment of various constraints, Roger created a unique military organization such as the Foreign Mercenary Corps for the sake of convenience to do some dirty work that was inconvenient for the regular army.

The emergence of the Star Island Foreign Mercenary Group has given the surrounding countries mixed joy and sorrow. The good news is that they can spend money to hire Haihan's armed forces for their own use. There is no doubt about their combat effectiveness. They can be used to attack enemy targets, protect their own fortresses, and quell domestic rebellions.

They will all be more useful than the national army.

The worry is that this armed force only recognizes money, not people. If you can accept employment from your own side today, you may be working for the enemy tomorrow, just to see who pays the higher price. To face such a situation on the battlefield

An armed force whose combat effectiveness is not much different from that of the Haihan Army would give anyone a headache.

Therefore, while the business of foreign mercenary groups is getting better and better, many countries have filed lawsuits in Sanya, believing that Haihan intentionally allowed the mercenary groups to disrupt the regional situation and destroy the original local balance.

Of course, even without the participation of the mercenary group, the local situation would not be much peaceful.

There are dozens of countries, large and small, in Southeast Asia, and disputes and wars between countries are constant. In many cases, Haihan even needs to intervene in mediation. These complaining countries are worried that they will one day become the target of mercenary groups.

Sanya has always turned a blind eye to Xingdao. The local area has to maintain huge military expenditures, and it is understandable to do some high-return dirty work on a daily basis. But there are more voices going to Victory Fort to complain. Sanya

Bian couldn't help but begin to notice some irregularities in the Xingdao mercenary group.

There are also some voices in the country that believe it is inappropriate for Sing Tao to maintain an armed force outside its establishment. It should be incorporated into the regular army and under the unified command of the Ministry of National Defense. Otherwise, it should be disbanded to avoid unnecessary international disputes.

.

Roger invested a lot of resources in forming this army, and of course it was impossible to disband it in response. But he also had to face doubts and prove that the foreign mercenary group's loyalty to Haihan was no worse than that of the regular army.

Tao Donglai said: "Roger directly transferred a commander from the mercenary group, just to show us whether the people in the mercenary group are reliable."

Schneider said: "There are many opinions against retaining mercenary groups in China, but he is very generous and is not afraid that this person will not be accustomed to the local environment in Sanya and make people laugh."

Tao Donglai smiled and said: "If someone wants to see a joke, there will naturally be people who will protect him and prevent him from becoming a joke."

Schneider is such a person. As soon as he heard Tao Donglai's tone, he immediately asked: "It seems that something has gone wrong since this person came here?"

Tao Donglai said: "It's not that something went wrong, it's just that I haven't changed my old habits in the mercenary group. In the end, it was He Xi who gave him a hand and kept him from falling."

Just as Schneider was about to ask him more carefully, Ning Qi had already taken the lead and asked, "Why is He Xi starting to choose sides? Isn't it your intention again?"

Tao Donglai waved his hand and said: "That's not what I meant. Roger should have given some exchange conditions to let He Xi take care of his subordinates."

Ning Qi muttered: "Thousands of miles apart, what conditions can Roger offer him in exchange?"

Tao Donglai smiled and said, "Then you have to ask him yourself."

The Ministry of Security under He Xi's jurisdiction is a special organization directly under the Executive Committee, and there is no doubt about its loyalty. Therefore, even if He Xi's move is suspected of siding with others, and may also involve an exchange of interests with the military leaders of overseas regions, those present here

The three of them did not doubt He Xi's reliability.

Schneider finally seized the opportunity and interjected: "Why did Lao He support me? Let me tell you."

Tao Donglai said: "The thing is actually very simple. Sing Tao's recent publicity activities have been so popular that the Portuguese can't stand it anymore. The embassy sent people to monitor outside the Sing Tao office. Maybe they were looking for opportunities to make a living."

But somehow, I was discovered by this guy who just came from Star Island, and he led his men to kidnap all the people in the Portuguese embassy."

Schneider said in astonishment: "So reckless? Then Lao He should have stopped it, right?"

Tao Donglai nodded and said: "If Lao He hadn't stopped him in time, all those people might have been sunk into the Linchun River. It is said that they also did some cleaning up work for him, otherwise the Portuguese would probably not be able to trace them.

It will still be traced to him."

Schneider sighed: "No wonder, the two Portuguese guys came to complain to me today. I gave them a little scare, but they actually didn't answer. It turns out there is something!"

Simon and Thomas thought that Schneider might know the truth about the kidnapping case and did not dare to continue to pester him. However, in reality, Ned was only making false threats at the time. Unexpectedly, they accidentally hit the opponent's weakness.

Tao Donglai said: "Maybe they just wanted to test you. If you scare them like this, they will probably think that this is our official action."

Schneider said: "That's okay. As long as Lao He handles the matter, they can only make wild guesses without any real evidence... But since Lao He took care of this, Roger owes him a favor."

Already."

Ning Qi responded: "Actually, no matter whether Lao He takes action or not, we will not let anything happen to this person, at least not during his term of office."

Schneider was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, if something happens to him, I'm afraid there will be some misunderstanding on Roger's part."

Although Shao Tianhu is only a naturalized officer, he can still be regarded as a general under Roger. The main purpose of being sent to Sanya is to prove Xingdao's loyalty to the Executive Committee. If something happens to him in Sanya, Roger

I'm afraid I wouldn't think it was an accident.
