Humanitarian Aid? Laughter immediately erupted from among the people sitting below, and this King Tom really did grow up in a lighthouse country and was deeply poisoned by imperialism! As everyone knows, when a powerful power proposes humanitarian relief, it is often because it wants to directly meddle in the affairs of a certain region and has no more reasonable excuse. Before the crossing, the lighthouse state, known as the world's policeman, had carried out "humanitarian rescue" in many places, which place was not more and more chaotic, as far as Kosovo and Syria, from Europe to Asia, all the places that have been interfered by the lighthouse country in the name of "humanitarianism" have basically not escaped the end of becoming a scorched earth.

Any observer with a good outlook will be soberly aware that "humanitarianism" is nothing more than a-stirring stick danced by the lighthouse state in order to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. It is a common trick of the lighthouse state to use the slogan of "humanitarianism" to safeguard human rights, and as long as the lighthouse country needs it, it can at any time adopt all kinds of sanctions and even military strikes against other countries in the name of "human rights above sovereignty"; and when it needs to use the "prism" to spy on the whole world by espionage methods that have no humanitarian spirit and completely ignore human rights, it will not hesitate to swallow back all the words that have been spit out, and put on a face of "Lao Tzu has always pursued sovereignty above human rights" in the face of criticism from others. Of course, at such times, slogans such as "humanitarianism" are immediately relegated to the point of bullshit.

A significant percentage of the people in the Crossing Group have little affection for either the Lighthouse Nation or Vietnam, the difference being that one is shameless and the other is a nasty monkey, and now a former Lighthouse National claims that the Executive Committee should take "humanitarian relief" for the citizens of the Monkey Country, which is quite unflattering.

Yan Chujie immediately challenged Tom Wang's tone: "Tom, the way you mentioned this is up for debate, whether it is Vietnam or Annan over there, the migration operation we are going to carry out has nothing to do with humanitarianism, those ordinary people need a stable environment to live, and we need a large number of laborers, at best, each takes what he needs, and the matter is as simple as that." We don't need to find a high-sounding reason to convince anyone or hide anything, and you don't need to deal with us in such a very official way. ”

Wang Tom couldn't help but burn his face, fortunately, he had lived at sea for a long time, and his complexion had already been tanned by ultraviolet rays, and others couldn't see his embarrassment. However, Wang Tom was not persuaded by Yan Chujie's words, and still defended: "The humanitarian aid I mentioned is not a political excuse, but just a statement of my own views from the perspective of universal values." （.）”

Yan Chujie still wanted to argue, but Tao Donglai was already busy ending this conversation: "Okay, there is no need for the internal disputes between us to rise to the height of ideology, even if we want to talk about politics correctly, we will only be internal, not external." There is only one criterion for us to take any action or measure against the outside world, and that is to conform to the interests of our traversing group! Under this premise, it is not a big deal to flaunt the banner of various doctrines to the outside world, and it should be regarded as a propaganda need. Okay, let's go ahead and ask questions!"

Yan Chujie immediately spoke: "I have a problem. Tom, based on the results of your field trips, how big do you think the external threat is to that place? I mean what kind of defenses do we need to achieve to ensure the security of the place?"

The defense plan developed by the Military Police Department was basically based on the fortress-like defense that they had not fully realized in their base camp, and the most criticized plan was that it was extremely costly in terms of manpower and material resources. The Military Police Department has not had enough factual evidence to support its own views, and the opinion of the expedition team is particularly important at this time.

Tom Wang nodded, re-called up the satellite map, pointed to the area where Xingang was located and began to explain: "To consider the defense strength of Xingang, we must first be clear about the specific situation of external threats. You see, to the west and north of the new port, the land passage is cut off by a large mountain range that stretches for dozens of miles, and to the east and south is the sea. According to what we have observed, within a radius of 50 kilometers from the origin of the new port, it can be said that it is basically a state of no man's land, and the only connection between the new port and the outside is by sea, and the nearest population gathering place is also 40 nautical miles away from the new port. ”

"If this scale continues to be expanded, then the biggest threat to the surrounding area will still come from Hanoi. Wang Tom pointed out the location of Hanoi on the map: "But Hanoi is a hundred kilometers from the sea, and at the speed of the infantry troops of this era, it would take at least three to four days to travel from Hanoi to the sea, and another day to cross the sea by boat...... In fact, I don't think that the Li Dynasty authorities in Hanoi would do such a thankless thing, because there is really nothing to grab in the new port area, and if there are few troops, they may not be able to defeat them, and if they send too much, they will face more than they will lose. ”

"Another reason is that the current north-south confrontation in Vietnam will help us to distract the attention of those in power, whose domestic army is constantly concentrating on Hue and will not be able to take care of our existence for at least a year or two. And in a year or two...... I think the situation at New Port will be much better at that time than it is now, and at least it will be able to build up a paramilitary force strong enough to threaten the northern coastal areas of Vietnam. ”

"Given that there will be no real threat in the vicinity of Xingang in the short term, I don't think there is a need to make external defense a military priority at the beginning of the construction of Xingang. I think we should pay more attention to the security of the country when a large number of immigrants are brought in. If we are going to develop coal mines on a large scale, we will have to bring at least two or three thousand immigrants from Vietnam to Xingang, right? And the managers we can send to the local area are only in the double digits at most, so it is obvious that we need a law and order force to assist us in internal management. ”

"It seems that the top priority of our military and police department is to expand the security company. Yan Chujie replied a little stupidly. Wang's opinion had clearly overturned the original plan of the Military Police Department, and it was certainly not necessary for a port that did not have a heavy external threat to carry out military construction in the direction of a fortress-like stronghold from the beginning. Moreover, Tom Wang is indeed very reasonable, rather than focusing on external enemies who do not know where, it is better to manage the large number of immigrants brought in in a short period of time.

"The proportion of military personnel who are transferred to overseas stations should be readjusted, and the proportion of security personnel should be appropriately increased. Tao Donglai also agreed with Tom Wang's opinion.

"Then do you want a few army guns ordered by your military police department?" Liu Xingli from the metallurgical workshop asked in the crowd: "If you are not in a hurry, those iron will be used to make tools first." ”

"Let's make the tools first. Yan Chujie replied listlessly.

"The cannon can be slow, but don't stop making the gun. There was a rare scene in the conference room, and Ning Qi actually expressed his opinion on the affairs of the military police department.

"Why?" Yan Chujie forgot for a while that Ning Qi was helping the Military Police Department to speak, and asked rhetorically.

"Don't forget that Vietnam was in a state of civil war at this time, and the arquebuses we made could be sold in addition to training and equipping the naturalized civilian troops. Ning Qi turned to Schneider and said: "Hasn't your Ministry of Commerce always wanted to join hands with the Military Police Department to sell arms? If Daming's side can't go through for the time being, I think Vietnam is also a good choice, and the number of firearms they need may not be less than that of Daming." ”

"At this time, the Vietnamese were also using firearms in war?" Yan Chujie asked suspiciously: "I don't read much, don't lie to me." ”

"Don't think that we are all day long'monkey monkey' called, there is really just a group of monkeys living there, in fact, the history of the Vietnamese using arquebuses is not later than the Ming Dynasty, the fourth of the military chronicles in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" has been recorded, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di sent troops to level the toe, got the magic machine gun, so he set up the god machine battalion, began to equip the Ming army with firearms. That was at the beginning of the fifteenth century, two hundred years ago. At this time we are now in a period where the Portuguese have already sold a lot of firearms to Vietnam, it can be said that there is already a relatively mature arms market. Ning Qi seized the opportunity to teach Yan Chujie another lesson.

Schneider's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "Our production costs and transportation costs are much lower than those of the Portuguese, and the quality is much higher than theirs. ”

"You can't make much money selling guns, a bird gun is only ten taels of silver, you can make a ** tael if you die, selling guns is a big deal, and a cannon can easily be sold for thousands of taels!" Ning Qi continued to ignite Schneider, a profiteer: "When necessary, we can also exchange weapons for food, weapons for people, and weapons for minerals......"

"Good things must be shared! We will sell the north and then the south, and sell both sides, so that they can kill hard!" Yan Chujie said through gritted teeth, and his fierce tone reminded onlookers of the Great War of the North and South in Vietnam that began in the 50s of the 20th century. Nearly four million people died in the nearly two decades of civil war.

Looking at this group of excited warmongers, the corners of Tom Wang's mouth couldn't help twitching a little, but he didn't say anything. No matter how white-eyed he is, he knows that if he mentions any topics such as "humanitarianism" at this juncture, he is afraid that he will immediately be sprayed with blood by the people present.
