In principle, the appointment of grass-roots officers by the Haihan People's League must first be submitted to the list, and it can only be considered effective after approval by the Central Military Commission; even if it is a unit stationed abroad, the general who leads the troops only has the power to nominate and recommend, and has no right to directly adjust the rank and appointment of the post. However, in actual operation, due to the slow transmission speed of correspondence, troops stationed abroad often adopt the method of cutting first and then reporting, that is, first giving the post and then reporting it, and the Military Commission generally will not reject the application for military post adjustment. Similar to the special operations unit under Qian Tiandun's command, the selection of its personnel is basically calculated by him, and it can be reported to the Central Military Commission afterwards. Therefore, he plans to promote Sun Zhen at the right time, not just a mouthpiece, but a newcomer like this who is still in the recruit training period is indeed one of the few in the past few years.

In terms of Penghu's geographical conditions, it is not particularly suitable as an army recruit training base, after all, the land area here is limited, and the geographical environment is relatively simple, and it is acceptable as a training place for amphibious landing, island seizure operations, street battles, etc., but to train military subjects with a relatively large range of operations, or to adapt to a more complex combat environment, the situation of the Penghu base is a bit insufficient.

Of course, Qian Tiandun could also send troops to Fujian's coastal areas for training, but Fujian is after all a Ming Dynasty's territory, and the Haihan armed forces used to conduct training, so the atmosphere in the middle will be very delicate after all. Even if Xu Xinsu believed that Haihan would not do any tricks in his sphere of influence, in order to be able to explain to the outside world, he would inevitably send the Ming army to join in in the form of "coordinated exercises" or "military observation groups", and such an arrangement was not something Qian Tiandun was willing to accept.

The Haihan and Fujian military secretly signed a military cooperation agreement several years ago, and the Fujian Ming army also stationed liaison representatives, military observers, officer cadets, and so on at the Penghu base, and some Ming army officers who studied in Penghu even received training together with the Haihan militia. However, the teaching of military skills is often limited to the more basic part, and for some subjects involving specific tactical drills, the Haihan militia will naturally not take the Ming army to play together, and the relationship is good, but the things at the bottom of the box still cannot be lightly exposed.

At present, although the Penghu garrison, including recruits, still places the training ground on the Penghu Islands, Qian Tiandun is definitely not satisfied with such a situation, not to mention that there is an excellent training ground around him.

In mid-October, Sanya received an application from the Penghu base to include the unaffiliated areas on the west coast of the island of Taiwan in the garrison's training site. Qian Tiandun did not list many reasons in his application, but only briefly explained the reasons, that is, "to adapt to the environment of the island of Taiwan and prepare for future military operations." The attitude of this reason is also very clear, that is, the Penghu garrison is not inclined to expand northward as discussed by the Executive Committee in the next direction of action, but intends to settle down on the island of Taiwan in the east first.

"Whether it is to the north or to the east, it is developing for us, and all we need to judge is which direction is more favorable and easier to implement, which will play a greater role in promoting our future development!"

When the members of the executive committee were arguing about this, Tao Donglai had to stand up to stop the discussion that had begun to be crooked. The topic has shifted from "whether the application for the Penghu garrison should be approved" to which is more suitable for Taiwan or Hainan to be the focus of Haihan's construction in the next few years. If we continue to allow the members of the Executive Committee to continue to argue in a wide range of ways, it will be difficult to reach a conclusion that is acceptable to the majority before the end of today.

"Of course, it is to control Taiwan first, even if it is only a part of the West Coast. Nearby colonization can share part of the pressure of sea transportation, and the natural resources obtained locally and the primary materials produced can be supplemented nearby, and after achieving self-sufficiency, we will not have to travel thousands of miles to Fujian every month to transport so many materials and food. "Yue Zhiyun, a representative of the Ministry of Shipping, took the lead in expressing his attitude and clearly stood on the side of the military.

"Xiao Yue, you only see the benefits, but you don't see the real difficulties!" Ning Qi, as a representative of the opposition, immediately retorted: "Qian Tiandun now said that he included the local area in the training ground, but everyone here must understand the reason why the military did this, and in the final analysis, it is still necessary to take action against Taiwan. Don't forget, Taiwan's best ports in the south and north have all been occupied by foreign devils, and if you want to enter Taiwan, you have to drive them away. Don't forget that we only finished fighting Penghu in May, and we are still in the repair period, so are we going to start another war soon?"

"We can choose the middle ground on the west coast, avoiding the Dutch and the Spaniards first. Tom Wang came up with another solution.

However, Ning Qi was not interested in his plan, shook his head and retorted: "The section vacated on the west coast of Taiwan Island is not all terra nullius, and there are still many indigenous people who have settled in these areas...... Well, the indigenous people who live in the mountains are the Gaoshan people we know as well. Ethnically, the aborigines of Taiwan Island are not of Han Chinese descent, but are mostly Malays, so don't expect to get closer to them by climbing any relatives......"

Someone muttered in a low voice: "No wonder those guys on the island have been working against the mainland before the crossing!"

Ning Qi Zhengse said: "The situation of our crossing the former Taiwan Island is more complicated than now, after all, it has been occupied by the Japanese for a period of time, and many of the islands are descendants of little devils, and they are not of the same mind with the Chinese at all." But this is not the focus of our discussion now, and if we want to settle down on the west coast of the island of Taiwan now, there will definitely be resistance, and maybe war will break out because of this. Ladies and gentlemen, what we urgently need is the population, the labor force, not the war that will slow down development!"

"Things may not be as strict as you think. Yan Chujie replied slowly: "The indigenous people on the west coast of Taiwan Island...... That is to say, the Pingpu tribe you just mentioned are all primitive tribes in the stage of clan civilization, and they do not even have decent weapons, and there is a big gap between them and the armed forces in such places as Annam and Champong, so what can they use to confront us? It just so happens that Qian Tiandun is training elite soldiers at the Penghu base, and it is not a good thing to find a place for his people to train their hands, and by the way, to clear out the places and establish colonies? In my opinion, at most, there will be an armed conflict, and it is far from reaching the point of war. ”

Gu Kai interjected: "What is the difference between this and the massacre of Indians by the Americans in the Americas? Why do we create hatred and conflict? Have you ever seen a Taiwanese movie about the indigenous people fighting back against the oppression ......of the Japanese?"

"Gu Kai, if you want to be such a virgin again, why don't you just go to Taiwan Island to preach to the local natives, and let them consciously and voluntarily give up the place, okay? At least we can take them to live a better life, right?" Yan Chujie interrupted Gu Kai's words with a mocking expression.

The following will be re-edited later
