11.3 Expeditions
On the vast blue sea, five destroyers of 3,000 tons shuttled across the sea. The bow of the shear broke through the waves and traveled fast at a cruising speed of twenty-five knots. The bow of the fleet was welded with the coat of arms of the Sandstorm Group.
On this metal badge, the folds in the same direction represent the strong wind, and on the folds, the raised points of dense rivets represent the wind and sand particles.
These five 3,000-ton warships were all cutting-edge warships, with a maximum speed of 33 knots, and a total price of more than 70 million silver coins. Zhao Xuanxuan's financial resources were originally unable to allow Sandstorm Harbor to have a fleet of such a scale in the short term.
Zhao Xuanwei originally owned only three old-fashioned warships bought from Penghai. Those old warships, the boilers and bearings are seriously worn, the speed has dropped to 20 knots, and the sea battle is very reluctant - the people of Penghai are not willing to watch Zhao Xuanyu unfold on the coast, and those coastal families are quietly stumbling. Just these three battleships were still sold by someone
But Zhao Xuanyu hugged the lap of the goddess of fate.
In the most difficult early days of his self-made business, there happened to be a big family that needed Zhao Xuanxuan's ability. And these cutting-edge warships were sent by this big family, as long as Zhao Xuanwei can successfully help them solve the problem, these warships will be invested in Zhao Xuanwei according to the assets of 10 million silver coins. of course, of course, Zhao Xuanwei will be given a loan of 100 million silver coins to support Zhao Xuanxuan's development at sea.
This big dog is the Nanyang Development Association. This merchant group was formed in recent years according to the belief of a sea god. The name of the president - Ye Piaocai.
It's not just a coincidence.
In the past few years, Ye Piaocai and others have invested a lot of money in the southern colonies according to Su Ying's plan, and hired local labor to carry out OEM production.
However, because such a large amount of assets are deployed overseas, various families in Zhejiang and Ning have their eyes on it. The management positions in these industries have given birth to a lot of fat gaps, that is, the key nodes in the operation of the capital chain. These positions are eye-catching!
In the 21st century, when people are looking for jobs for their children, they are staring at civil servants, office positions, all kinds of looking for people, and entrusting people, which is a phenomenon that has spread widely in society and culture.
And in this era of family lines, it is useless for most families to find relatives and friends. Because in a hierarchical society, your relatives and friends are not qualified to make decisions on a job scheduling at the same level as you. The people above have a word, and it is your turn to have the right to make democratic decisions below? Only when the lower strata have the right to make democratic decisions will the phenomenon of finding people to do things be widespread.
There are very few communication channels between high-level and low-level people, and the channels of private interpersonal communication between the upper and lower levels are almost controlled by personal servants and housekeepers.
They indirectly influence the role of the top to the bottom. The housekeepers of the family usually have the image of being greedy for money, because this group of people is the only group of people in the whole society who are qualified to take money and do things. And in the past few days, the housekeepers in the foyer of the patriarchs have received money and received soft hands. The voices in the ears of the elders of Zhening from these private channels are all the same. And the elders at the top level felt that the entire people below were boiling, and their own power system was boiling.
Therefore, now Ye Piaocai has made concessions to those upper echelons, and the southern consortium operates a cheap labor primary processing industry, returning profits every year in exchange for continuous support from the top level in Zhejiang and Ningbo, and it is impossible to solve the contradiction at the root. At this time, the elders of Zhening are no longer for the profits of their own families, but to calm down the instability below and solve the problem of the treatment of the backbone of their own rights system.
At this time, Ye Piaocai had too many personnel positions. In Zhejiang, the group of people who are of the same level as Ye Piaocai are also middle-level professionals, and they want to urgently enter the trade of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in full swing and control the management positions (rights).
The main purpose of the top-level decision-makers in Zhejiang and Ning is to meddle in the personnel control of the Southern Business Group.
Oh, no, the 21st century lighthouse nations are fighting trade wars with repeated emphasis on financial openness, and their goals are similar. Financial openness means that international capital can be stationed to participate in the management of state-owned enterprises, essentially seeking control of the real industry, just like the control of South Korean enterprises, as for trade profits are only scratching the surface, and control is the key.
The generals of the Zhejiang-Ning Republican Assembly were not so stupid as to think that "a random change of people can control the Nanyang colonial network". They decided to beat and warn Ye Piaocai first. Let Ye Piaocai understand the meaning of the elders of Zhejiang. Of course, if the hit doesn't work, another piece will be moved.
In September last year. The Zhening Industrial Council directly rejected the Southern Merchant Group's application for military protection of the two new ports.
The two ports were built on Qianao Island, a huge island to the south, which was an important crossroads for the southward shipping route. Signs of the military power of the sea humans are often seen in the vicinity.
The military protection of these trading posts was stopped. The risk of the entire colonial economic chain in Nanyang has increased by 30%, which directly leads to the gradual withdrawal of funds when people take into account this instability when investing in Nanyang.
That is, when ordering Nanyang's processed products, the order volume gradually decreased, and they were afraid that Nanyang's unstable delivery would lead to the interruption of their own commercial supply. And this has brought a lot of impact to the newly emerging processing industry of the major colonies in the South Seas. Since October last year, the number of people who have gone to Nanyang to work has also begun to decrease.
The elites within Zhening used such a decision to warn Ye Piaocai not to be arrogant because he had some ability, if he was not honest, then in fact, that ability could not do anything.
Ye Piaocai, who led the Chamber of Commerce, was anxious, and "Hai Ling" came out and gave them a message: a young general from Sexi in the north wanted to meddle in the maritime business, and was preparing a warring group, but the equipment was very poor.
Ye Piaocai's Chamber of Commerce was like a treasure after getting the news.
This news is worth more than 500 million silver dollars to them in the short term, and if this general's combat power is enough, under long-term training, it will be worth more than 10 billion. You must know that every year, Ye Piaocai's merchant group gives more than 2 billion silver dollars to the land. Therefore, Zhao Xuanwei lacked equipment, and the parts of high-grade ordnance were directly filled in the south.
Therefore, under the guidance of fate, across more than 3,000 kilometers, the Nanyang Merchant Group and Penghai, which were in the overseas colonies of Zhejiang and Ning, the armed forces that Zhao Xuanyu had just established were thus combined.
The Sandstorm Group's overseas mission this time was to go to Qianao Island, 4,000 kilometers away, to conduct expeditionary operations.
Zhao Xuanwei personally led the team and arrived at Coconut Grove Port with 342 people. Zhao Xuanwei, who attaches great importance to this task, dragged out Su Ying (ontology), who had been squatting at home for three years. It has formed a general, a Great Wall, and the top of the all-power uniforms of 300 professionals.
On March 1, 659 in the year 659, the fleet docked at the Coconut Grove Harbor, and more than 300 professionals landed quickly under the thrust of the rocket engine and the gliding action of the wings of the carbon fiber skeleton plastic film.
The team quickly entered the interior of Qianao Island and launched a combat deployment.
Armed airships also rose from the ships and flew to the central mountains of the island to conduct information reconnaissance. Of course, in terms of reconnaissance, in addition to airships, Zhao Xuanyu's team also has a more advanced configuration - the Great Wall.
Su Ying, who got off the boat, wore a power suit and went directly into the jungle, carried out field scanning, and began military surveying and mapping.
This island, which is 400 kilometers long from north to south and about 150 kilometers wide from east to west, sent the Great Wall to search, and it is also a Great Wall like Su Eagle, which is simply a guillotine with a guillotine head.
On the display screen of Zhao Xuanxuan's arm, the red dot representing Su Xuan is like the same sieve constantly advancing. The Su Eagle field swept the corners of the island's mountains and rivers, and then sent the terrain information to Zhao Xuanyu's command vehicle through the relay airboat.
Zhao Xuanwei was now consulting the topographic map constructed by Su Ying, a helpless wry smile appeared in his mouth, and the intercom microphone on his helmet popped out.
After Zhao Xuanyu dialed Su Ying: "Su Ying, you have done a good job, but what about you, what about you, the information transmission is a little more concise, and there is no need to be so detailed." β
Su Ying walking in the jungle: "Eh, isn't the information I transmitted useless?" The Su Eagles field has marked every stream with a runoff of more than 30 centimeters in the mountains, as well as the caves in every rock crevice in the mountains where animals the size of dogs and bears can be hidden.
Zhao Xuanwei said helplessly: "I didn't say that you didn't transmit it right, that, there are a few crabs in the river, and what birds are on the trees, so don't take pictures." β
Su Ying was silent for a while, and said honestly: "Oh, oh, I understand. β
There is no deep-seated reason for Su Ying to take these photos, he has been busy at home for a long time, and suddenly outside, his heart began to fall off.
Now that he has gone abroad to the south on business in this life, Su Ying has a military database for 'public and private use' to store the characteristic information he is interested in. Well, as for the post-war period, it's even more planned to quickly catch fish and shrimp here.
Zhao Xuanwei was naturally aware of Su Ying's mood of letting go of himself at this time,
And now after he heard Su Ying's "frustrated" answer, he comforted: "Don't be unhappy, in the future, the whole island, I will wrap it up for you, give you enough fun, and now complete the task seriously." β
After successfully appeasing Su Ying, Zhao Xuanyu shook his head with a smile.
The seventeen-year-old general was dressed in combat suits, which were loaded with more combat systems, more armor on the joints, and weapon modules than the tight-fitting ones.
Zhao Xuanxuan turned on the optical stealth module, and soon his body turned into a translucent silhouette with a slightly distorted light field.
The technology is based on the television and microvision spell systems, and in some mediums, these light-manipulation spells have a stronger ability to change the path of light.
Therefore, a transparent plastic coating is loaded on the design of the uniform, which directly changes the telescopic technique to the effect of light stealth.
Stealth was an ability of the former master assassin of the upper class of the fortress, which was later lost outright. In the early days of the Steam Calendar, some explorers were struggling to restore the spell system, and eventually gave up, and today they do it with equipment.
This is similar to the ancient people's iron sand palm to crush stones, and open people's brains in a walk, which was a very good ability at the time, but in modern times, there are slabs and bricks on construction sites everywhere, and it has become easy to open people's heads. As long as you can pick up bricks, you don't need to make your hands full of calluses.
Zhao Xuanxuan opened his stealth and ascended to the high ground and began to look down on the entire port.
In the harbor, slave laborers are cutting wood and building makeshift posts. With the strike of the axe, the slag of the white flower fell from the fracture. The armed men who had just disembarked were dressed in body armor made of chemical fibers and ceramic splints, and wore digital helmets, and stood guard around the port.
Inside the harbor, on the roof of a simple wooden house, a large number of camouflaged grass and leaves were hung, as if wearing a green hat, and a bundle of antennas was cocked like a dull hair, these were temporary command bases, some fake, some real.
It was determined that the military base could be arranged in three hours. Zhao Xuanyu walked down from the high ground, and then called in a low voice: "Spirit? β
Forty kilometers away, Su Ying, who was swinging in the treetops, paused, stopped, and sat on the branch.
Now Su Ying is pinching a poisonous snake with his fingers (wearing mechanical gloves), while quietly approaching the honeycomb, and while shaking the tail of the poisonous snake and smoking the honeycomb, he responded to Zhao Xuanyu: "I'm here, what's the matter?" β
Zhao Xuanyu looked at the light spirit floating in front of him, took a deep breath and asked, "The base has been arranged, what should I do next?" β
Su Ying watched the hornet attack the poor poisonous snake frantically, and responded: "You are the commander, what do you think you should do?" β
Zhao Xuanwei said coldly: "The sea spirit that this merchant group in the south believes in is just a simple belief, or does it really have the possibility of manifestation?" β
Su Ying's hand shook and stuffed the poisonous snake into the honeycomb, and when he planted the tree, the conditioned reflex was stable and balanced, and after falling steadily to the ground, he lowered his tone: "Eh, you mean, Hai Ling is a threat?" βThe viper overhead is dying and struggling around the honeycomb.
Zhao Xuanyu stared at the light spirit, did not dwell on this, but asked further: "You should be familiar with the power of this consortium in the south, tell me, what do you know?" β
Su Ying sneered, and said silently in his heart: How is this feeling a little, a little, creepy.......
Su Ying sorted out his mood and slowly laid out the plan and inventory of Nanyang's layout industry.
Ten minutes later.
Su Ying: "So, according to the situation in the south, as long as you can maintain victory militarily, your logistics, your personnel, will be unswervingly supported by the chaebols in the south, and the power vacuum caused by the military families in Zhejiang and Ning in order to exert pressure will be quickly filled by you, hey, I am also thinking about your career planning?" Now you know, there's no knot, right? β
Zhao Xuanxuan nodded undeniably, but after a few seconds, he continued to ask: "Ling, besides me, who else is in the plan?" β
Su Ying quibbled seriously: "Eh, who else is there?" It will be very difficult for me to train you. β
Zhao Xuanyu took a deep breath, and then only spit out half a mouthful. The remaining half of his breath was stuffed in his chest, and he said in a thick tone of suspicion: "Really, is that so?" β
