No. 156 Peace talks or deterrence

The proposal of the bridgehead plan can be regarded as a reassurance to the young men with serious national complexes, but the time for specific implementation has not been proposed.

The military and the executive committee have their own opinions on this, just like Liu Yun said, the military wants to force the officials of Xin'an County in Daming to compel them to comply through force deterrence.

This may have a lot to do with the success of deterring the Zheng family by force, they don't think that sitting down and negotiating can negotiate anything with the government of Xin'an County.

For the Executive Committee, of course, it is best not to go to war, not to mention that it is better to start a war without any reason, and the object of war is still their own ancestors hundreds of years ago, and to be honest, many old comrades really cannot accept it in their hearts.

This deterrence by force is not good, it is to misfire, not to mention that the officials of Xin'an County may not be afraid of your Australian big ship, people are not close to the inland is not inseparable from maritime trade like the Zheng family, the biggest reason why the Zheng family can deter by force is that they need sea trade too much, and without the support of maritime trade, the Zheng family simply cannot maintain the expenditure of 100,000 private soldiers.

To this end, the military representatives and the Executive Committee first started negotiations, and the representatives of both sides expressed their views.

As one of the representatives of the Executive Committee, Zhao Shijie stood up and took over the right to speak.

"I think that the deterrence of force should be under reasonable and unpredictable circumstances, if the current situation is clear, the rash use of force will not have a good impact on us, and it will even make the people of the Ming Dynasty treat us as if we were a wolf. You know, we don't simply want to build a bridgehead, and the role of the bridgehead is not a forward base and a cargo transit station, it is also a migrant transit station, and refugees from the Ming provinces arrive here and come to Australia by boat. ”

As one of the formulators of the bridgehead plan, Zhao Shijie and their responsibility is to use this place as a military base and a transit point for trade in goods, and they have more far-reaching plans, and in the future, if conditions permit, they plan to establish a number of primary handicraft industries here.

In addition to the cost of ownership and its low labor, Hong Kong, which is backed by the mainland, also has a very rich supply of raw materials, and if some handicraft products that were originally exported are produced here, it will greatly save a sum of expenses, and the operating profits of enterprises will also be greatly increased.

Of course, this premise must be a harmonious environment, an environment in which the Australian and local government people are relatively friendly and harmonious, and if there is a war between the two sides, then this situation is difficult to say.

Zhao Shijie's concern is not unfounded, as far as the coastal area of Daming is often harassed by the Japanese invaders, if most people once they believe in their hearts that the Australian old is the same as the Japanese invaders, it will be difficult to change.

In addition to these reasons, there are already a considerable number of Ming immigrants in the army and navy, and it is not known whether they can accept it, although they have all joined the Australian nationality, it is inevitable that people still have feelings for their homeland, just like crossing the crowd to still have feelings for that homeland, and they don't want him to suffer so many disasters.

For this general statement, the military representatives have been denied that the military is the first to obey orders, where there are so many ideas, it is that you think too much, and you are saying that for that homeland, all they have is pain and where the feelings come from.

"I don't think this is a wise decision, as an emerging country, we already have a certain prestige in Southeast Asia, and it is time to make this prestige, so that the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty knows that Australia is not a small country, on the contrary, a big country that they cannot afford to provoke." He Shuwen, a military representative, said excitedly.

This guy is the main battle faction within the army, a focus on deterring the enemy by force, it is said that before the crossing, he often made some remarks about the main battle in the iron and blood network, and now it is even more conceivable, so that as a representative of the military, he can see that the military boss did not decide to tear his face, but left room for himself.

Australia is a big country, I'm afraid there are really not many people who have this kind of idea, the real strength of others don't know what we don't know, the total population is currently less than 30,000 people, even the local has not been fully developed, you say that such a country is a big country, relying on some advanced weapons and equipment can be regarded as a big country.

"I'm afraid that Ensign He's remarks are a bit self-deceptive, everyone knows whether Australia is strong or not, not to mention that the strength of the Netherlands in the Far East is not weak at this time."

Liu Yun deliberately reminded the other party not to be too arrogant, as an agent who had lived in Batavia for a long time, he knew better than anyone in the room how strong the Dutch were.

Once they truly discover the true strength of Australia and launch an attack on the Australian mainland with the strength of the entire Batavia Far East, even if they succeed in defeating the other party, they will suffer huge losses.

He Shuwen seemed to be a little speechless when asked by the two, and he didn't know what reason to say to object, so he had to stare at the two and then sit down and not speak.

The reason why the military and the executive committee are so different this time is, in the final analysis, that the deterrence of the Zheng family last time made the military's confidence full.

However, this phenomenon is not a good thing, and in the end, it is very likely that the principle of military personnel not interfering in politics will be violated in the end.

Not to mention that the premise of being powerless to intervene is good or bad, the Executive Committee must also resolutely oppose it, and this kind of thing must not be started, otherwise this kind of thing will continue to happen in the military in the future.

As a rational politician, he will oppose it, not only for his own interests but also for the sake of his children and grandchildren.

If no agreement is reached in this negotiation, Zhou Aiguo will propose to convene a plenary meeting to be voted on by everyone, but according to Liu Yun's covert statistical survey, the supporters of the Executive Committee will definitely be greater than the military.

Several representatives of the military have been silent, as the host of the meeting, Zhao Shijie stood up again, "Now we have all explained our own reasons, obviously the military's reasons did not convince everyone here, I think the result is that everyone already knows that if the military representatives feel that they have objections, they can apply to convene a plenary congress." ”

At the same time as Zhao Shijie spoke, a soldier from the military knocked on the door and walked in, whispering a few words in He Shuwen's ear, and the expression on the other party's face obviously changed.
