Chapter 242 Security Issues in the South China Sea
The Chinese Navy was most happy to patrol the Zhongsha Islands than Luyang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info because this means that the central leadership has finally made up its mind to implement the South China Sea land construction plan.
As for the performances of those clowns in the international community, Huaxia expressed disdain. In this regard, the state has long been prepared, not only has the South China Sea Fleet stepped up training, but also announced that it will hold large-scale military exercises in the South China Sea in the near future. The US Pacific Command announced that the USS Ronald Reagan will conduct routine patrols in the South China Sea and other international waters from now on, followed by a huge fleet, and the intimidation is very obvious.
When the Philippine government saw that the American master was so powerful, it was immediately like a chicken blood, and Aquino III, who had just come to power, was originally an open-mouthed person, and with the backstage support, his remarks against China were even more out of line, directly accusing China of pursuing hegemony in the South China Sea and trying to internationalize the South China Sea issue. It's a pity that he doesn't understand that once the Huaxia government has made up its mind to do something, it will never back down easily.
Xu Feng, as the liaison officer of the General Staff, came to Tianxin Building again.
Seeing Xu Feng, Lu Yang knew that the central government was going to act.
"Colonel Xu, we haven't seen each other for a while, you should be here this time for the South China Sea Development Company, right?" Lu Yang said.
Xu Feng was wearing a military uniform, and his every move was clear-eyed, and he was full of military style.
"You must have read the news, after half a year of planning, the central government decided to start the South China Sea land building plan. This land construction involves the cooperation of the government, enterprises and the military, as well as the issue of safety and security in dangerous sea areas, so it is necessary to be cautious. In the future, I will be in contact with the South China Sea Development Corporation as a representative of the military to jointly complete this plan. Xu Feng said.
Lu Yang said: "No problem, I welcome you to participate, but one thing to make clear, this development involves a wide range, according to the central plan, the Xisha Islands and the Zhongsha Islands will be built at the same time." Among them, the government is mainly responsible for the Xisha Islands, and I am in charge of the Zhongsha Islands. ”
"I don't need to tell you about the situation in the Spratly Islands, because it is very close to the Philippines, and the Philippines often has coast guards crossing the maritime border, so the security problem is very serious. I once again applied to the government in the hope that the engineering team involved in the land construction of the Zhongsha Islands would have a small armed force to protect itself. Because the navy cannot protect us 24 hours a day, and the enemy can come at any time. After Lu Yang calmly analyzed, he put forward his own requirements.
Xu Feng said expressionlessly: "The state does not allow private individuals or companies to control the armed forces. ”
Lu Yang couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he also hoped that the country would be able to handle special matters, and now it seems that the government is still too sensitive to the word armament.
Lu Yang immediately changed his mind: "What about the security company?" As far as I know, some domestic security companies can apply for firearms. ”
Xu Feng looked at Lu Yang, as if he wanted to see him through. Lu Yang's request was raised once a few months ago, but it was vetoed by the central government. The above originally thought that Lu Yang just wanted more security, but now it seems that Lu Yang's dedication to the armed forces is more than he expected.
"Mr. Lu, you are clear about the national conditions of China, so it is better not to touch some things." Xu Feng warned.
Lu Yang spread out his hands: "Colonel Xu, what do you mean by this?" Do you think I'm going to build a private army and then rebel? You think too highly of me. I have said more than once about my purpose, which is to ensure the safety of my workers. You don't know the barbarism of the Filipinos, just half a year ago, my secretary's father was shot by the Philippine Coast Guard for fishing in the South China Sea, and I don't want this to happen again. ”
"Moreover, the restrictions on the security industry in China have also been relaxed, and the security industry is very broad in the future. So the above can rest assured that I have absolutely no other purpose in doing this. Lu Yang hurriedly reassured.
Xu Feng still had no expression on his face: "Your request, I will reflect it to the above." ”
After Lu Yang's repeated requests, and with the mediation of the military, the Ministry of Public Security finally approved Lu Yang's request and granted the security personnel of the South China Sea land-building project the qualification to carry guns. When Lu Yang heard the news, he couldn't help but smile, no matter what, with such a result, the application in the past few months is worth it.
Lu Yang brought Feng Hai in, and in the past year or so, Feng Hai has established the security department of Tianxin Group from scratch, making it the most worthy new barrier of Tianxin Group.
"Brother Hai, how many people are in the company's security department now?" Lu Yang asked.
Feng Hai didn't think about it: "At present, there are more than 400 people, 70% of whom are veterans. ”
"Well, that's good." Lu Yang was also a little surprised when he heard that there were so many people. However, it is not a lot to think about, Tianxin Group is currently too large, and there are many places that need manpower, especially several important laboratories and research institutions, which need a large number of security personnel.
"The company has a big project ahead that requires a large number of security personnel, and the current manpower is far from enough." Lu Yang muttered, "I plan to set up a special security company, which will not only provide security services for our group in the future, but also enter the security market, what do you think?" ”
Feng Hai was slightly shocked in his heart: "Boss, the security company is different from ordinary companies, if you want to become bigger, you must get the support of the government......"
"In this regard, you can rest assured that the policy and procedures are not a problem, and I have also been allowed to carry a gun." Lu Yang said with a smile.
"Permission to carry a gun?" Feng Hai was both surprised and delighted, Huaxia is a country that is very strict about gun control, and except for a few government-approved security companies in China, I have not heard of anyone who has a gun license.
"Is this true?" Feng Hai couldn't help but ask.
Lu Yang nodded: "You should also be able to imagine the danger of the next mission, otherwise, the state will not easily grant us permission to carry guns." ”
Feng Hai's face changed, and he understood in his heart.
"Boss, what kind of project is it, how dangerous it is, can you tell me, so that I also have a bottom in my heart." Feng Hai, who has been retired from the army for many years, thought of the word task, and his heart was very complicated.
Lu Yang said: "It's nothing to tell you, it's actually about the development of the South China Sea." In cooperation with the state, I set up a company with the intention of creating land in the South China Sea. The part I'm responsible for is Scarborough Shoal in the Spratly Islands, and you know the situation there. ”
Feng Hai frowned, he didn't think about the technical difficulty of land construction in the South China Sea, but purely considered it from the perspective of security.
"In fact, it is not as dangerous as everyone thinks, and the South China Sea Fleet has begun routine patrols of the Zhongsha Islands. However, because of the location, it is currently more of the air force that cruises the Zhongsha Islands, and the naval fleet is not so frequent. Lu Yang thought for a while and said.
Feng Hai's application was quite serious: "Boss, in that environment, we have to face more dangers than expected, so we must not have a fluke in our hearts." ”
Feng Hai is a serious and responsible person, otherwise Lu Yang would not have chosen him as his driver and bodyguard. Moreover, he had combat experience when he was a soldier, and he knew how dangerous an area like the "Zhongsha Islands" really was, so he bluntly interrupted Lu Yang's optimistic thoughts.
"If there is a difficulty, find a way to overcome it." Lu Yang knew that Feng Hai was a professional in this regard, so he did not deny his judgment, but just put forward his own requirements, "The land creation and development of Zhongsha Islands are of great significance to the country and our group, and it is impossible to give up." And Brother Hai, you don't have that much time to prepare now, and at the latest at the beginning of next year, the official land-building activities will begin. ”
Feng Hai calculated, so that he only had two or three months of time left...... It is not a problem to set up a security company in two or three months, but it is a bit difficult to have a security force capable of carrying out such a task.
"If you have difficulties, you can seek support from the military." Seeing his embarrassed face, Lu Yang gave him an idea, "The military is also a participant in this project, and it is the biggest beneficiary, and they will support it within a certain range." In addition, Brother Hai, I want to emphasize one more point! ”
Feng Hai saw Lu Yang's unprecedented seriousness, and his expression was dazed at the moment.
Lu Yang pondered for a moment, and then said: "I know that many of our security personnel come from the army, and this expansion may increase this ratio." But you have to make these people understand that they are now discharged from the army, and they are no longer soldiers, but part of our company, understand? ”
Lu Yang's words were more subtle, but Feng Hai was not stupid, how could he not understand. To put it bluntly, Lu Yang's emphasis is on a question of loyalty. Those who have been discharged from the army are more disciplined and obedient, they are trained by the army, and they are more loyal to the country and the army. What Lu Yang wants Feng Hai to do is to turn their loyalty to the country and the army into loyalty to themselves, at least there will be no such thing as them sacrificing the interests of the company. It's normal for him to think this way, after all, these people are now using their own money to do things for themselves.
"I see." Feng Hai was silent for a long time, Lu Yang was talking about those people, why wasn't he talking about him? Feng Hai is now a senior manager of Tianxin Group, if he can't figure this out himself, Lu Yang's trust in him will be a problem in the future.
At the end of the year, Lu Yang came to Haidao Province, where he set up two manufacturing plants, one of which produces nano-organic extruded materials and the other cultivates Haiyuan fungi. After several months of intense production, the South China Sea Development Company's stockpile of materials and marine fungi is now able to supply thousands of square kilometers of land reclamation.
He was accompanied by Xu Feng and Li Yuefeng, a government representative who was the general manager of the South China Sea Development Company and supervised Lu Yang on behalf of the government.
At this time, it was already December, and the temperature in Huanghuai had dropped below 0 degrees, so Lu Yang specially bought air tickets for his parents and relatives and invited them to come to the island province for the winter. The island is a great place to escape the winter, and many northerners come here every winter like migratory birds.
In the end, Lu Yang's family and relatives formed a team of more than 40 people, chartered a passenger plane to fly from Huanghuai to the island, the scene of the trip was very spectacular, more than 30 luxury cars collectively headed towards the nearest airport, people who don't know the situation still think why the big man is coming.
