Chapter 524: Unexpected Support

"Yes!"

After Feng Hai returned to Penglai Island, he reported the specific situation to Lu Yang. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Yang thought about it for three days and felt that this matter could be operated.

Feng Hai also had this opinion, but before that, he had to explain the specific situation to Lu Yang.

"Boss, the strength of the New Pattani Alliance is not weak, but it is far from enough compared to the Thai government. Thailand's navy, army and air force have about 400,000 people, including 240,000 army and 18 divisions, and they have only one infantry division in their hands. I learned that Thailand has 3 infantry divisions, 1 armored division, 1 fighter squadron in southern Thailand, and the navy nearby, so even with our support, this is not so easy to do. Feng Hai said.

"In this way, if there is no external intervention, the New Attatani Alliance is a dead end." Lu Yang Road.

"Yes, Thailand is a powerful country in Southeast Asia, and although the political situation is unstable, they are still very determined to fight the separatist movement in the south. My guess is that the Pakistani government may have set its sights on them, just wait for Powi to make a move, and then eliminate them in one fell swoop, otherwise, Powi would not be in such a hurry to contact us. Feng Hai said.

"There is such a possibility, the separatist groups in southern Thailand are all supported by the YSL forces, and if there is no problem, they will not contact us suddenly." Lu Yang couldn't help but nodded.

"I think the same way, there is no country in the Indochina Peninsula that dares to compete with Thailand on this issue, Malaysia has always secretly supported the four provinces in southern Thailand, but they are not opponents against Thailand. Povey probably also felt that they were unreliable, so he asked us for support. Feng Hai analyzed.

"As long as they can keep their promises, we can satisfy them!" Lu Yang said decisively, "If you can really get half of the ownership of the canal, it doesn't matter if you fall out with Thailand." ”

Lu Yang has no investment in Thailand, and in fact, in the whole of Southeast Asia, he does not have many industries. Therefore, he does not care about making enemies with the Thai government. Aside from the canal, Luyang and Thailand really have no inevitable intersection.

For Lu Yang, the value of the Indochina Peninsula Canal is much greater, with economic value coming second, and strategic value being the most important. If it weren't for this, Lu Yang would not have promised the Thai government an investment of 500 billion yuan, which is equivalent to one-third of Lu Yang's investment budget on Penglai Island this year!

"I've also considered the reliability of Povi's promise, so before leaving, I deliberately let the mecha team appear, which can be regarded as a deterrent to him."

Lu Yang suddenly smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter, as long as the contract is signed, I don't care if they regret it, if they really regret it, it gives us a chance, and we just take the opportunity to completely take over the canal." ”

With the military strength that Lu Yang has at his disposal, he is not afraid of the other party's breach of contract at all, let alone the southern four provinces, even if the Thai government dares to break the contract, Lu Yang will use force to make them surrender. In this world, as long as the matter is reasonable, Lu Yang is not afraid, just like the Yuanwang incident, Penglai Island lost two people, and Lu Yang dared to kill 20,000 people!

"One more thing, boss." Feng Hai thought of another question, "Bowei's premise is that the four southern provinces will only fulfill the contract after the establishment of the state, if they fail, or fall into a stalemate, then the canal plan may not be able to start." ”

Lu Yang touched his chin and said, "So, this matter must be fast!" To be honest, the excavation of a canal of more than 90 kilometers did not have any difficulty for us, and the preliminary work was done in two months. The negotiations on the Kra Canal have been going on for half a year, and my patience is running out, the matter of the four southern provinces must be resolved as soon as possible, if they want to be slow, we will push them fast! ”

"I see." Feng Hai understood in his heart, "Do you want to discuss this matter with China?" ”

"Tell them, don't ask for advice, don't care about their objections. I have decided to implement this plan immediately. Lu Yang thought of the attitude of the prime minister at the beginning, and knew in his heart that this matter could not be counted on at home.

"Understood."

"Tell Povey that as long as he can legally build a state, we will give him the support he wants."

"As long as it is legally established?"

"That's right! You made it clear to Povey that if you want to cooperate with us, the premise of building a country is the premise. To get more support, they have to let me see the progress in this area! ”

What Lu Yang lacks now is a reason to enter Thailand, and once Powi is established, the operating space in it will become larger.

At the end of February, the Penglai Island Government Work Conference was held. Unlike last year, Lu Yang also participated in this meeting, and he participated as the owner of Penglai Island. Not only him, but also the management of Penglai Group also participated.

The appearance of Lu Yang, Su Yan and others did not know in advance except for Yu Hao, and before that, the government work meeting was only an internal matter of the city government, because Penglai Island did not have a parliament, and there was no people's representative body, the reason was simple, the existence of these institutions would shake Lu Yang's ruling power.

"What's going on, Lu Yang is here?"

"That's Su Yan of Penglai Group, who used to be the president of Tianxin Group, and she is here too!"

"Not only that, look at Lei Jun, Li Yilong, Huo Sheng, Ye Wenbing...... These are all generals under Lu Yang, world-famous big names, how could they come to participate in this year's government work conference? ”

The people in the meeting below were full of discussions, and many of them showed surprised expressions.

Several high-ranking officials saw this and realized it in their hearts.

"It seems that Lu Yang is going to limit the power of the city government." Someone thinks.

The main content of the government work conference is to summarize last year and determine this year's budget, Yu Hao made a report as mayor, and made a detailed introduction to the development of Penglai Island.

"In 2018, Penglai Island's economy maintained rapid growth, with a GDP of 1.64 trillion yuan, an increase of 58% compared with 2017, of which Penglai Group contributed more than 80%, and the proportion increased compared with last year......"

Hearing this, many people also understand why representatives of Penglai Group came to this meeting. Penglai Group is too important to Penglai Island, and their development almost determines the development of Penglai Island. In terms of substantive impact, Penglai Group is much greater than the municipal government.

Lu Yang attended the government work conference in a high-profile manner this time, and let Su Yan and them participate, some supported and some opposed, but the support was undoubtedly the majority. The opponents are mainly civil servants from the mainland, and in their concept, the government is the government, so they don't attach much importance to Luyang, the owner of Penglai Island. And these people are exactly the kind of people Lu Yang is worried about.

As for the supporters, there are many people, both at the grassroots level and at the top level, especially those who have worked in Tianxin Group and Penglai Group. Lu Yang plans to expand this part of the population, this time Penglai City civil servants expanded, and Lu Yang left a quota of 3,000 people, which was for them.

The decision-making power of the Penglai municipal government is not large, and the budget plan for the first two years was reported to Lu Yang privately by Yu Hao, who synthesized the needs of Penglai Island and the development of Penglai Group, and finally confirmed. This time, Lu Yang obviously intends to solve the budget problem directly at the meeting,

Regarding the construction investment of Penglai Island in 2019, Lu Yang and Yu Hao have already discussed, this year Penglai Island will focus on the development of Jinlong District and other four districts, with an estimated investment of 1.5 trillion yuan, and strive to build them into the current Huanghuai District within two to three years.

In Zhongnanhai, China, the president and other high-ranking officials are discussing Lu Yang's involvement in the southern Thai issue.

"It seems that Lu Yang is still ready to do it." The prime minister gave a brief explanation of the content of the last conversation with Lu Yang to other high-level officials, and he already believed in Lu Yang's determination.

"This is nonsense!" An elder slapped the table and said, "In my opinion, Lu Yang is now inflated, and his behavior is becoming more and more risky, completely ignoring the overall situation, the previous cyber attacks on Fusang and the Lion City have affected our country's strategy, and now he wants to do it against Thailand, doesn't this make Huaxia angry?" President, I think we should stop him right away so that the situation doesn't deteriorate. ”

The prime minister shook his head and said: "I know very well that this time Penglai Island is different from before, they just made a report to the central government, and they have no intention of asking for our opinions at all." With my understanding of Lu Yang, I am afraid he has made up his mind. ”

"This kind of thing, Lu Yang can do it." Another elder said, "I don't think he's simply taking revenge on the Lion City, but thinking more. Perhaps, we can let him try......"

The president did not speak, and the others argued, some for it, some against, and some neutral, and the six elders could not agree on it.

"Maybe this is an opportunity......," the president said, "and Lu Yang is determined to do it, and he should be somewhat sure, if he can really master a new canal that will allow us to avoid the Strait of Malacca, it will be a great thing for China." ”

"However, Southeast Asian countries are already quite wary of China, and our interference in Thailand's internal affairs will lead to China's further isolation." The first elder to speak said.

"That's my second point. In the past six years, we have pursued the strategy of the last century, which is not in keeping with the current international situation. In the past two years, the confrontation between the United States and us has become more and more serious, they have made it clear that our country is a strategic opponent, if we pursue the previous conservative strategy, in the future in the competition with the United States will fall into a comprehensive passivity! The president said slowly.

"So the president wants to take the initiative and solve the problem of Southeast Asia?" The Prime Minister said.

"Yes, but Southeast Asia is postponed for the time being, and I want to solve the Taiwan issue first!" The president said in a deep voice.

"The Taiwan issue?" Everyone else looked at the president in amazement.

"Well, now is also the time, and if we want to solve the Taiwan issue, we need to give Lu Yang a little support first......" (To be continued.) )
