In Qi Yiming's original history, until 29 years later, most of the islands and reefs in Nansha were still controlled by the three indigenous monkey states. In terms of ability, it was easy to demolish the military facilities built by these monkeys, but because of various concerns, it was not carried out.

Although the Battle of Chigua Reef in 1988 gave China its first foothold in the South China Sea, Vietnam then launched an even more frantic seizure operation, from the deployment of Fiery Cross Reef by China, Vietnam has seized 11 reefs, including Daxian Reef, Nairo Reef, Bolan Reef, Guiying Reef, Qiong Reef, West Reef, Riji Reef, East Reef, Wuqi Reef, Liumen Reef and Nanhua Reef, and then seized several islands and reefs around Wan'an Bank to protect their oil and gas fields in the south.

However, it is also easy to deal with the Vietnamese, and now that the two countries are at war, before the signing of a peace agreement, they can fight Vietnam as they wish. Qi Yiming and the navy took it for granted, believing that it would be difficult to obtain the consent of the upper echelons to recapture some places such as Dunqian Sandbank and Zhongjiao occupied by Vietnam, but it was not a big problem to take other unoccupied islands and reefs now. Even if Vietnam does not open its eyes to find trouble, it can solve all problems with violence. The argument that violence does not solve all problems is that the level of violence is insufficient.

The other two troubles Qi Yiming still took a lot of brains, and Malaysia will occupy three islands and reefs in the future, and there is no Guangguang Star Reef and South China Sea Reef at this time, only one projectile reef in the south. In October of this year, Malaysia will use the pretext of naval exercises to send marines to land on the two reefs to seize de facto control. This is the same old path they used on the projectile reef three years ago.

The navy's countermeasures are very clear: send a few destroyers and frigates to interfere with it, or send troops to land on the reef in advance, and control the Guangxing Reef and the South China Sea Reef, and the defense situation of the Dan Dan Reef controlled by Malaysia below will definitely not be easy, and Malaysia will be on pins and needles.

There are some other arguments on the Philippine side. At this time, the Philippines was still a "semi-colony" of the United States, and the two major bases of the US military, Subic Bay Naval Base and Clark Air Force Base, had not yet been evacuated. So in response to that sentence, it still depends on the owner to beat the dog. Therefore, we have to communicate with the Americans about this matter, and if we can explain that the Americans exert force, then there is still a better chance of recovering the eight islands and reefs that have already been seized.

It is not ruled out that the Americans will open their mouths, and Qi Yiming will definitely not send a penny more, he is happy to write a blank check, if he is allowed to cut the meat, it is better to send troops directly to the island.

In essence, the strategy formulated by the navy is similar to that of later generations, not taking the initiative to provoke trouble, using its own advantages to seize the space for activities, squeezing the three countries, dividing them up, and breaking them one by one, but such an idea has not been recognized, and Qi Yiming has no choice but to come to Zhongnanhai in person, intending to lobby.

Ping Taizong had just finished working at this time, and found a few people that Qi Yiming knew and didn't know, and they were playing bridge together. Seeing Qi Yiming coming in with a stack of documents, Ping Taizong's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly stretched out and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, come, also fight with two hands?" ”

Qi Yiming really didn't know how to play bridge, so he excused himself: "Forget it, I'll see you play." ”

This guy still thought in his heart, I don't know what it would be like for this old man to teach the Dao to fight the Three Kingdoms. In the past few days, he has found someone to sell this thing at the gate of Tsinghua University in Peking University, which is said to have led a trend, and he also gave a bunch of prizes to the club in the university. Qi Yiming naturally didn't have any good intentions, this group of intellectuals who have no one in their eyes, you fight the Three Kingdoms Killing, it is more meaningful than doing the things you want to do.

Ping Taizong played this game or broke up the game, Qi Yiming stood there like a stake, and others couldn't play cards with their hearts, he was very disappointed. So he took a sip of tea, sat on the sofa and asked, "Anyway, what bold ideas do you have?" ”

Qi Yiming didn't notice anything unusual, in fact, he had always been in a state of looking up at Ping Taizong, and all kinds of analyses in his usual times had not been used on this old man, so he didn't find anything abnormal. He also only made a joke of an elder to his juniors, and submitted his plan in writing to Ping Taizong, saying: "The navy has made some arrangements for recapturing the Nansha Islands and controlling the South China Sea, and I also have some opinions here, in addition to the military ones, there are other aspects involved, and I will show you." ”

Ping Taizong immediately understood what Qi Yiming wanted to do. However, he still attached importance to Qi Yiming's head, he took Qi Yiming's documents and browsed them roughly. Qi Yiming is such a character, writing these things is always an outline, and the central theme and important steps are clearly marked and concise, making it easy for people to read.

After a while, Ping Taizong roughly finished reading his main thoughts, put down the document and said: "The South China Sea is ours, and no one else can take it away, but how we get it back, we have to pay attention to levels and steps." As for dealing with Vietnam, I don't think it's a big problem, but I think that at the moment we should deal mainly with Vietnam's enemy, and let go of the Philippines and Malaysia. If we make too many enemies in Southeast Asia, it will be very negative for our international image and diplomacy. ”

Qi Yiming first breathed a sigh of relief, at least Ping Taizong had revealed that he would not completely veto the Navy's South China Sea strategy, but would pick priorities, that is, first knock Vietnam that was still at war with the Celestial Empire. Leaving Malaysia and the Philippines to deal with later.

Qi Yiming did not deny the correctness of Ping Taizong's statement, and he also knew that this was definitely the main reason why the PLA navy was so strong in later generations that he still couldn't let go of his hands and feet to recapture the islands and reefs. The real thing that makes me rabbit rat trap is not that the stick is not thick enough, but that I am afraid that people will think that the appearance of beating other people's sticks is too ugly.

This is inevitably a bit powerless to complain, you are determined to beat other people's sticks, and you want people to praise you for beating the jade tree in the wind, chic and dignified, it is really a bit too paranoid. In the final analysis, this kind of thinking comes from traditional Chinese culture, and is essentially no different from the style of emperors who pursued the coming dynasty of all nations. Face is greater than the sky, dignity and image are above all else.

Before Qi Yiming crossed, he sometimes felt that there were enough messy things such as cyber warfare, national oppression, human rights, and curbing press freedom, and there were more lice and were not afraid of itching, even if he pretended to be a little white rabbit, people still said that you were the axis of evil, felt that you were irresponsible, and if you were willing to look at it with double standards, you would look at it with double standards, and even some Western media could think that terrorists who cut people with knives are not terrorists, or that terrorists who cut Chinese with knives are not terrorists.

Indignantly, people have bullied you like this, what are you selling that does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and insists on peace and friendship. The United States has fought one or two wars from time to time, and people all over the world say that he is evil, but no one is willing to punish him. Or if you think that the United States is self-respecting and not afraid of scratching your boots, then you are also wrong, you look at Russia, the disaster has reached the Ermao family at your door, and you are unhappy to send troops to the Crimean Peninsula, you have the ability to sanction me, my economic growth is 1%, and I am not afraid of you sanctioning me.

Qi Yiming is definitely not a brainless and angry young man, and most of the time he can tolerate more than ordinary people, but he knows how to weigh and judge, and can know when it is appropriate to do it and when to admit it. If it weren't for the self in front of him who was too reverent, Qi Yiming would definitely question him with "where is the fearless spirit of the proletarian revolutionary".

Ping Taizong could also see that the repeated rejection of Qi Yiming's proposal had hit him a little, and it was necessary to maintain his enthusiasm and let him actively contribute to the country and the party, so Ping Taizong said gently: "Those who seek the country cannot be limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place, but must look at the overall situation and know how to work step by step." Our move to Nansha is already a more aggressive move, and it is too easy for you to think that you can eat a big dragon with a chess piece. Tomorrow, the people who call the navy, let's hold another strategic meeting to discuss the specific details of how to do it, in short, 'no provocation, no loss, no loss of face.'" ”

Qi Yiming was slightly excited, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." ”

The two said some inconsequential things again, and Ping Taizong was concerned about his personal life again, and Qi Yiming confessed and left. When he left Zhongnanhai with his own red flag, Qi Yiming looked at the leisurely and beautiful scene of Beihai in the car window, and muttered: "Don't you suffer a loss, don't you lose face?" Since such a decision was made, it has already been a loss and a loss of face. ”

He shook his head, shook some negative emotions out of his head, and was still a little unwilling after thinking about it for a while, which may be related to his unhappiness during this period of time. He felt that he had always wanted to be a marionette and be held in his hand, before he felt that he could be a puppet like this with peace of mind, and he was very proud to do great things, Qi Yiming now felt that he looked down on himself.

He pointed his finger at the driver in the front seat, a special forces soldier from the Red Police, and said, "Go to Secretary Hu." ”

The absolutely loyal Red Police special forces will not question it, only loyalty, and immediately drive to Hu's house.

Qi Yiming's behavior is definitely not smart, but he doesn't want to be constrained in everything, as a guy like a human spirit, he is not stupid at all, and many things can be figured out immediately after thinking about it a few times. And it's useless to just think about it, his characteristic is that he can find a way that is definitely not the worst in the shortest possible time.

In his opinion, the worst choice is to be an echo worm, to be a gentleman who doesn't mention the birdcage and catch the iron gall, the party can hold him high, but it is only a tiger skin. He squeezed out the nourishment of the country and the people in unlimited quantities, and then saw that someone would gain more power or occupy the position he should have by contributing what he had contributed.

Qi Yiming, who was sitting in the car, was silent and gloomy, even though it was the brightest summer sunshine outside, and the tourists and pedestrians on Chang'an Street seemed excited, perhaps they were excited by the constantly better life, maybe for a beautiful Sunday. But Qi Yiming knew that from the time he stepped into this road, he no longer enjoyed the life of a small citizen with too young, too simple Tucson broken, he was already a politician, even if it took him more than a year to understand what was going on.
