Rather than using war to conquer opponents, Haihan has always preferred to control the economic lifeline of opponents from the commercial field. www.biquge.info If you can directly control the opponent's economy, then many situations do not need to be solved by force. The purpose of Haihan's efforts to organize the South China Sea Trade Alliance is to integrate the common interests of all countries and parties, and to enable Haihan's commercial system to operate in these countries and regions in a legitimate manner.

Compared with military means, Haihan's way of invading the economic fields of these countries through trade is actually more difficult to resist, and the mature economic and financial system and operating methods are hundreds of years ahead of the average level of this era, and the difficulty of implementing and promoting these things is actually far less than the manufacturing black technology in Haihan's hands. Other countries only see the rigor and convenience of the Haihan trade system, but it is difficult to perceive the long-term hidden dangers that these rules will bring when applied to their own domestic markets.

Before the anniversary, Haihan hastily negotiated the general framework of the South China Sea Trade Alliance, in order to take advantage of the countries to negotiate more trade agreements during the visit to Sanya, and to spread out Haihan's commercial and financial system in the South China Sea region as soon as possible. The Executive Committee of Haihan believes that even Western counterparts, who are known for their trade capabilities, may not have enough motivation to continue to compete head-on with Haihan after they truly enter the trading system built by Haihan.

To this end, since last year, the Ministry of Commerce has been consulting with the competent departments of manufacturing, agriculture and forestry, transportation and other related industries one by one to prepare for the projects and products to be launched to the outside market this year. In particular, considering that after the establishment of the South China Sea Trade Alliance, there will be differences between member and non-member countries in terms of customer objects, and accordingly, there will be a preference for member countries in terms of the type, grade, and quantity of goods supplied. The Ministry of Commerce hopes to attract more countries to join the trade alliance led by Haihan through the difference in treatment, and accelerate the promotion of the trade alliance framework system in the Far East.

The port, shipping, shipbuilding and other departments under the Ministry of Shipping are also preparing to have their own business to promote to the outside world, especially the orders of shipyards have always been one of the largest foreign trade revenues of Haihan's industrial system. At the Shengli Port Shipyard alone, more than 40 civilian vessels were delivered to external customers last year, with a total displacement of nearly 10,000 tons.

In addition to the limited number of combat vessels currently sold by Haihan to some military allies, the Ministry of Shipping has also prepared improved cargo and passenger vessels, which have been upgraded in terms of loading capacity, sailing speed and seaworthiness performance compared with previous export models, to meet the increasing trade volume in the South China Sea for maritime capacity and transshipment efficiency. Moreover, these ships customized from Haihan's subordinate shipyards will also receive more convenient and efficient repair and maintenance services because of their standardized hull structure in the future.

"Our goal this time is to double the total number of orders for civilian ships compared to the previous year. Yue Zhiyun said quickly, stood up and pointed to the dock by the sea and said: "The 3,000-ton dry dock we prepared last year is also time to come in handy this year." ”

In fact, when Haihan began to build the majestic class warships four years ago, the dockyard used was already running to the standard of 3,000 tons. However, this dock is not a pit dug on the seaside, and the relevant supporting equipment and infrastructure facilities are also very important, during the construction of the majestic class warship, the supporting facilities are basically updated according to the actual demand, and it was not until last year that a large dry dock was vacated, and the shipyard began to transform it to adapt to the technical requirements of building a 3,000-ton ship.

The previous majestic displacement is less than 2,000 tons, and the tonnage will be increased by half, which is not too much of a problem in theory, and the Ministry of Shipping has already designed the corresponding construction plan, but there will still be many problems in actual operation, and it will be necessary for an experienced shipwright like Zhang Tiangui to deal with it.

Although Zhang Tiangui had long known that the Ministry of Shipping had plans to build larger ships, he still couldn't hide his excitement after hearing Yue Zhiyun announce a clearer time, and out of caution, he still asked: "Chief, is this going to be on a military ship or a civilian ship this year?"

Yue Zhiyun turned his head and smiled: "It depends on the decision of the Executive Committee, I personally advocate getting on the civilian ship, a 3,000-ton cargo ship, one can almost be used as the transportation capacity of a whole cargo fleet." ”

At present, Haihan's maritime shipping mainly relies on the Fuchuan and Guangzhou ships purchased in the early years and the exploration-class civilian sailing ships built by Haihan. The maximum load capacity of these ships is only one or two hundred tons, and the size of the cabin limits the type of cargo that can be carried to a certain extent, and the speed of loading and unloading cargo is also obviously limited by the size of the ship's hatch. If the size of the cargo ship is enlarged to 3,000 tons, many of the previous problems will be solved, and the loading and unloading of both bulk cargo and standard containers can be completed faster. As for the carrying capacity, it will easily exceed the 1,000-ton mark, which is indeed equivalent to the capacity of an entire fleet.

Yue Zhiyun and Sun Changmi have even proposed to the Executive Committee that all the coal carriers currently operating between the Black Earth Port of Annan and the Changhua Port in Qiongxi be replaced by large ships, so as to improve the efficiency of coal transfer between the two places and meet the growing demand for coal after the expansion of steel production in Changhua Industrial Zone. Of course, given the high cost of large cargo ships and the long construction period, the replacement of such means of transport will not be completed in a short period of time. According to their calculations, even if the Shengli Port Shipyard can complete the renovation project to expand its production capacity this year, it will be the limit to be able to build one or two of these 3,000-ton ships a year. As for whether this kind of production capacity will be used to increase transportation capacity or be used for riots in the future, it will depend on how the Executive Committee weighs the pros and cons.

Compared with the current Ministry of Shipping, which is focused on shipbuilding, the Ministry of Commerce, which is responsible for coordinating and arranging the international trade negotiations, is much busier, and Schneider has hardly stopped to rest since returning from Ambuna Island, and can only sleep for about four hours a day. In the end, a few old buddies of the executive committee saw that he was tired and afraid that he would die suddenly, and Tao Donglai, Ning Qi and Gu Kai also helped him take over some of the affairs, so that he could concentrate on improving the details of the trade agreement.

To be able to create an international trade organization with Haihan as the core and leading is a long-standing goal and aspiration for Schneider, in fact, he has had such an idea in his mind that seems impossible to achieve since before the crossing. In the past few years, he has made all kinds of efforts in the field of commerce and trade, more or less to pave the way for this goal. With the continuous enhancement of Haihan's strength, this goal has gradually become clear from the initial unattainable. After the conclusion of the multinational negotiations on the island of Ambuna, Schneider knew that his wish had been fulfilled ninety percent, and all that remained to do was to improve the existing institutions and systems and use the rules of the game to earn greater benefits for Haihan himself.

Schneider's painstaking efforts, his naturalized employees may not be able to fully understand, for them, the purpose of work is either to mix salaries to support their families, or to increase their official status to glorify their ancestors, as for the pursuit of a certain idea, to achieve personal value and other goals, they will not understand. Even Yu Xiaobao, a veteran naturalized citizen who had been in the Haihan system for six or seven years, still did not quite understand the reason why the chiefs gave up what they described as the very superior living conditions in their homeland and went to the poor and remote land of Sanya to expand their territory.

Yu Xiaobao is currently in charge of the organization of the Haihan Youth League in Sanya, and the executive committee attaches great importance to this social organization with a strong political taste, and even takes it as one of the thresholds for the appointment of naturalized personnel. From 1631 onwards, if you want to be a young naturalized citizen in the Haihan system, a prerequisite is to join the Haihan Youth League. In particular, for promotions in the army, the time when an officer under the age of 30 joins the regiment is a hard evaluation indicator; if he does not have the status of a member of the Youth League before this, he will not even have the qualifications for promotion, and on the contrary, if he holds certain posts in the regiment, then he will have an additional starting advantage in the competition for posts.

It is not difficult to join the Youth League, as long as the age of 16 to 30 has no criminal history, they can apply, but if you want to mix in the Youth League, it will be even more difficult than a promotion in the professional field. This requires not only a clean personal background, but also a high level of loyalty and political awareness.

The purpose of the establishment of this organization is naturally to cultivate a young generation who are loyal to Haihan and the Executive Committee. Although the speed of the rise of the Haihan is unparalleled in the world, there is always a hidden danger that makes the rulers feel uneasy, that is, the composition of the naturalized people under the Haihan is very complex, and such a group of hundreds of thousands of people from different countries and races can hardly be related to the idea of national cohesion.

The real reason why most of the naturalized people took refuge in Haihan was not because of the advanced social system here, but because they could ask for a bite to eat during the famine, or surrender to the military conquest of Haihan and could not resist. Although these people gained a stable living environment after taking refuge in Haihan, and their personal interests were gradually tied to the rise and fall of Haihan as a whole, in the eyes of those in power, the ruling foundation constituted by such a simple relationship of interests was actually extremely unstable.

In the current situation, the problem may not be too obvious, but if there is a strong hostile force or internal unrest in the future, then this complex demographic structure is very likely to tear society apart in a short period of time, and the Haihan Youth League is one of the precautionary measures taken by those in power. As long as the younger generation of naturalized people can have a relatively high sense of belonging and identification with the Haihan group, or the future national system, the stability of the society can also be significantly enhanced.

Yu Xiaobao was also recently seconded to the Ministry of Commerce to help, but fortunately, he also learned a lot from Schneider when he worked in the Guangzhou Office in his early years, and there is not much obstacle to taking over the work of business operations. When he returned home from work that day, Yu Dashan asked him about his recent work status: "I heard that you were recently transferred to the Ministry of Commerce by President Shi, could it be that the above wants to rearrange your work?"

Yu Xiaobao shook his head and said: "The child doesn't know, Mr. Shi only said temporary transfer, but did not mention the future arrangements." ”

Yu Dashan advised: "If the above wants to transfer your position, most of them will ask for your own opinions in advance, and you just insist on doing the work of this youth league." ”

Yu Xiaobaoqi said: "Why did Dad say this?"

"It's a shame that you're still a high-ranking cadre, and your consciousness is so low!" Yu Dashan reprimanded with hatred: "This Ministry of Commerce is all about business, although Mr. Shi is capable, but after all, he is limited to business and cannot participate in the government, if you want to be promoted to the rank of official and rank in the court, then you naturally have to take the right path! This youth league is personally responsible for President Tao and Chief Ning, and you are also the best among the young cadres, and you will definitely be erected as a model in the future, and the career prospects are very good, isn't it better than a businessman?"

Yu Xiaobao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, his father's simple and practical values are actually not right or wrong, but if Mr. Shi knew such a point of view, he would definitely criticize it. As for which route he should tend to develop in the future, Yu Xiaobao has no clear plan at present.

"Dad, don't forget, Mr. Shi is also one of the members of the Executive Committee, and the authority in his hands is no less than that of several other leaders. Besides, the development of Haihan depends to a large extent on how much development funds Shi can provide for Haihan. Yu Xiaobao tactfully expressed his opinion: "The work done by the Ministry of Commerce is not as simple as you think, it is not just doing business, but formulating plans and rules for doing business." The only people who really implement it are the commercial banks under the Ministry of Commerce and related institutions. One of the purposes of inviting guests from all over the world to Sanya to watch the ceremony is to take this opportunity to unify trade standards and rules. Dad, imagine if the grades and price standards of silk, porcelain, tea, spices, and these commodities were all set by Haihan in the future, how much oil and water would there be in the middle?

Although Yu Dashan couldn't say enough reasons to refute his son's opinion, he still insisted on his opinion: "What you said is reasonable, but what I said is not unreasonable, right?"

Yu Xiaobao simply gave an example and said: "The functions of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs add up, just like the household department of the Ming Kingdom. )
