At the beginning, in the consciousness of many powerful and high-ranking officials in South Vietnam, the war with Haihan was not elevated to the level of national strength competition, and most people still regarded Haihan as a civilian local armed force on Qiongzhou Island in Daming, and even many people still thought that Haihan was just a relatively powerful pirate. Despite repeated defeats in confrontations with Haihan, both civilian and military officials simply attributed the defeats on the battlefield to the mere backwardness of weapons, completely unaware of the terrible strength of the opponent behind the war.

When Ruan Ching Gui went to Shengli Port last year to negotiate peace with the Haihan Executive Committee, he had actually realized from the prosperity here that the Haihan was not just an ordinary civilian armed force, let alone a pirate organization that made a living from plundering, although this group had not established its own political power, but in essence it had become a country within a state within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, not only had its own bureaucratic system, legal system and armed forces, but also had a very clear strategic development plan. But at that time, Ruan Jinggui's contact with the Haihan people was mostly superficial, and he did not have such a profound feeling as now.

The land area and the number of subjects of the South Vietnamese court were dozens of times that of the Hai Han, and it was still fighting at home, but it was defeated again and again in the face of the sharp offensive of the Hai Han militia, and there was no so-called "great power" advantage at all, and the reason for this became a question that South Vietnamese immigrants like Nguyen Ching Gui often reflected on after the war. It wasn't until Schneider took him to get to know the true face of Haihan's group little by little, that Ruan Jinggui discovered that everyone, including himself, had underestimated Haihan's true strength before.

Behind the signboard of "Haihan", in addition to the think tank headed by the Executive Committee and tens of thousands of Haihan naturalized citizens who obeyed the orders of the Executive Committee, there are also dozens of large businessmen from Qiongzhou Island, Liangguang, Fujian, and even northern Annam who are continuously delivering materials and various professionals to them, and behind these people there are also intertwined interests, which have dragged most of the wealthy families, officials, businessmen, and magnates in these regions into this network of interests, and have become the backing of the Haihan people, either explicitly or covertly.

While this transfer of benefits is a two-way street, there is no doubt that the Haihan have benefited even more, and it is with these increasingly strong trade relationships that they have grown from an unknown group of overseas visitors to a force in the South China Sea that no one can ignore. And from what Ruan Jinggui knows now. The Haihan people are not just satisfied with simply doing business, they are now promoting goods, financial systems, technical standards, cultural concepts, etc. through trade, and at the same time introducing immigrants and constantly establishing overseas bases, these development measures and strategies are constantly expanding and consolidating the Haihan's sphere of influence, and gradually forming a larger interest group than the Haihan.

In addition, the Haihan who has only a few tens of thousands of naturalized people is actually not terrible, but to this day. The names of the two big men in this interest group dominated by Haihan have already appeared, and no one in the South China Sea region can shake the position of this group lightly.

As for the means by which the Haihan people draw these external forces into their own camp. Ruan Jinggui can be regarded as having seen it with his own eyes, that is, the real bundle of interests. The excellent business talent of Haihan people has already been proven to be able to make a lot of money with Haihan people who are proficient in business operations, and no normal person will refuse such an opportunity. The huge commercial interests made these people intentionally or unintentionally ignore Haihan's various "rebellious" actions, and constantly invested more manpower and resources in cooperation projects with Haihan, and even formed a large number of civilian armed forces with the assistance of the Haihan Military Commission. By now, whoever wants to move the Haihan has to leverage the interests of a large number of privileged classes in the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty and the vast territory of northern Annam, which is obviously far beyond the scope of ordinary commercial cooperation.

These external forces brought all kinds of raw materials, daily necessities, and sufficient labor to Haihan. It provided the necessary conditions for the development and growth of the Haihan, and the Nanyue court lost to the Haihan, not only because the combat effectiveness of the Haihan militia was too strong, but also because it lost to the huge interest groups behind it. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable) to say a little exaggerated, the implementer of this war is Haihan, but in essence, it is almost the four forces of Haihan, Daming, North Vietnam and Portugal united in the pit South Vietnam, if South Vietnam can still carry it it is unusual.

After figuring out the entanglement of interests in the middle. Ruan Jinggui felt that his mentality was calmer than before. If it is simply a battle against the opponent, then the losing side is still somewhat unconvinced, but the fact is that there is an all-round gap in the strength level of the two sides, and the fall of the South Vietnamese court cannot simply be attributed to the bad luck on the battlefield or the ineffective fighting of the soldiers, and the victory or defeat of the war has been determined long before the two sides go to war.

Li Nai divided five by two, and signed all the stacks of agreement documents. Then he handed it to Schneider. Schneider also didn't look through it slowly, and handed it to Ruan Jinggui and said, "Pack it up first." Third son, there is a dinner party hosted by our Ministry of Commerce in Shengli Fort in the evening, the content is to introduce the construction of a new port in Annam to my Ming maritime merchants, you must appreciate your face!"

"Since it was Mr. Shi who spoke, this face-saving little brother must be given. Li Nai replied with a grin.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave. There are a few more to visit, and I'll have someone come here to pick you up later. Schneider got up to say goodbye to Li Nai, and Ruan Jinggui also quickly stood up with a briefcase.

After the two of them came out of the shop of "Fu Ruifeng", they then visited several shops, all of which were opened by foreign merchants without exception. What makes Ruan Jinggui a little strange is that whether it is the owner or the shopkeeper of these shops, Schneider and the owner of these shops rarely involve specific transaction items and money exchange figures, they are all drinking tea, chatting for a while, talking about the recent business direction and market conditions, and even some topics that are not related to business at all. If he didn't know Schneider's identity, Ruan Jinggui would really think that he was just an idler looking for people to chat with.

It wasn't until after the third store that Ruan Jinggui finally couldn't help asking, "Mr. Shi, why do you visit these merchants but often don't talk about business?"

Schneider said: "Many business things have been on the track, and I can check at most, and the details will naturally be discussed with the following staff in detail." The purpose of my visit to these businesses is not to discuss business, but to maintain customer relationships, to publicize the new policies of our Executive Committee, and to understand the thinking dynamics of these businesses. ”

"But isn't it up to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to publicize the new policy?" Ruan Jinggui has not listened to classes in the quarantine camp in vain these days, and he still has a little understanding of the responsibilities of the main departments under the executive committee.

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs is for naturalized people, and I am for foreign businesses, and the focus of communication is different. Schneider patiently explained to him: "This kind of communication is necessary. When the pace of thought is unified, the pace of action can be unified, understand?"

"Forgive me for being stupid......," Ruan Jinggui hurriedly confessed. Regarding Schneider's half-literate statement, he can really only understand six or seven points.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you will slowly understand it when you go to a training course for a while. Schneider didn't really think how stupid Ruan Jinggui was, originally Ruan Jinggui was assigned to the Ministry of Commerce and was the person he handpicked. In his opinion, in the future construction of the four southern ports, naturalized cadres who are familiar with the local people's conditions must be needed to preside over the business work, and Ruan Jinggui's experience and background are undoubtedly an excellent candidate.

Of course. Before the Ministry of Commerce gave Nguyen Ching Quy more tasks, he first had to spend a period of observation and training in Shengli Port. In addition to the political censorship that took place in secret, Nguyen Ching Quy also had training courses in a variety of professions including finance, logistics, and trade. As for what kind of appointment he can get in the future, it depends on his specific performance and learning progress during his time in Victory Port.

"Are you going to class next?" Ruan Jinggui said.

"Yes, of course, we will go, and we will start tonight. Schneider raised his hand and looked at the time and said, "It's not too early now, you can get off work, go back to the dormitory to see, your luggage should have been arranged." After dinner. Report to Shengli Harbor Primary School, and someone will go through the enrollment procedures for you. ”

Ruan Jinggui watched Schneider walk away with the briefcase, and after a long time, he realized that he was now free, and went to the immigration dormitory located at the foot of the mountain on the west side of Victory Fort.

The dormitory is a little better than the quarantine camp, and although it is also a boat-shaped house, it is obviously much more solid and only has four people per room. It's no longer as stressful as living in a dormitory for 10 people in an isolation camp. Ruan Jinggui quickly found the place where he settled - Room 23 in District C according to the address of the house number he received from the civil affairs department. What made him a little relieved was that Ruan Wenwen was actually assigned to live here, and the two brothers could continue to live together.

"Big brother, I just went to visit my sister-in-law in the female immigration area, and everything is fine. Sister-in-law makes you not need to worry. When Ruan Wenwen saw his brother, he immediately informed him of the news. Both of them had families, but after landing, they were assigned to different living quarters, and they usually only met during meals. Although he has been released from the quarantine area, he has not been reunited for the time being. However, Haihan had already promised Ruan Jinggui that he would give his family the same treatment, so Ruan Jinggui was not worried about his family's life.

Ruan Jinggui nodded and replied, "I've been working outside today, but I didn't have time to mention the matter of applying for a dormitory." After my brother goes to work tomorrow, I will apply to my boss and strive to reunite with my family as soon as possible. ”

When Ruan Jinggui was in the quarantine camp, he specifically inquired with the immigration cadres that immigrants like them with their families could apply for a dormitory for a single household, but due to the large number of immigrants who had recently entered the Sanya area, they would probably have to wait in a queue to apply for a dormitory for living alone. As for apartments with better accommodation conditions, they can only be eligible to apply after obtaining naturalized citizenship, and the Nguyen brothers do not have the luxury of hope for the time being.

Ruan Wenwen asked, "Big brother, can you go to the Ministry of Commerce to do things today?"

"They all deal with some business affairs, and they are familiar with my brother, so there is no difficulty. Ruan Jinggui coughed dryly and said: "Mr. Shi of the Ministry of Commerce has appointed his brother as an assistant today, and today I will follow him to visit some businesses." ”

"Big brother is really powerful!" Ruan Wenwen praised sincerely: "Na Shi is always one of the nine executive committees of the Haihan Executive Committee, and he is already a top figure in Haihan.

"Well...... Let's take a closer look!" "Ruan Jinggui didn't dare to blow the cowhide too much, he was just a new immigrant who had just come out of the quarantine camp, and he hadn't even obtained naturalization.

"By the way, are you going to the Ministry of Justice to take up a job today?" asked Ruan Jinggui casually.

"Big brother, brother, I am leading the art to join the army, how can it be unpleasant?" Speaking of his own entry, Ruan Wenwen immediately came to his senses. Eyebrows fluttered and began to speak.

Nguyen Van Van was also a practitioner of violent agencies with some work experience because he led the city defense army in South Vietnam, so he was included in the list by the Ministry of Justice when the relevant units selected personnel. In this process, the Military Commission has also inserted a lever, after all, an officer of Ruan Wenwen's level is relatively rare among the new immigrant group.

In the end, though, it was the Justice Department that gained the upper hand in the war for talent, as the gap in the police department was too big to ignore, and the military had been honed in two years of battles and battles. On the contrary, there are already a number of naturalized grassroots officers who have come to the fore.

After the anniversary of the crossing last year, the Military Police Department announced its separation. The Police Division was separated and placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice. Prior to this, the source of the police was also the Victory Port Military Academy, but after the separation of the military and police, the military academy gradually stopped sending new forces to the police department. This is not because the Central Military Commission has turned its face and denied people, but because after the establishment of the navy at that time, the military was also faced with a shortage of soldiers needed to expand the army, and the number of trainees was limited.

Soldiers can perform police duties at the right time, but the police are not capable of fighting on the battlefield like soldiers, so the training direction of military schools is prioritized to focus on the recruits needed by the military. The police division, on its part, had to rely on the original establishment and a part of the reserve militia to barely maintain it.

With the gradual expansion of Haihan's territory, the establishment of the police department has become increasingly unable to keep up with the actual needs. Since last year, Ren Liang has reported to the Executive Committee to increase the number of personnel, but how can he fight Lijiazhuang in May last year, Hoi An in August, fight with Liu Xiang at the end of the year, and start preparing for the campaign against Hue at the beginning of the new year, and the military's demand for soldiers has never stopped. Foreign wars have almost become the main theme from the second half of last year to the first quarter of this year, and the gap in police force has to temporarily succumb to the needs of the overall situation.

However, as soon as the Hue campaign ended in March, Ren Liang handed over the report of the expansion to the Executive Committee, and asked the Executive Committee to allocate special funds to set up a school to train the professionals needed by the Ministry of Justice. Naturally, this report was also supported by Gu Kai, because the planning major of this school is in addition to the police. There is also a law-related content.

Ren Liang and Gu Kai, two members of the executive committee, jointly signed a letter, which is naturally enough to arouse the attention of the executive committee. The lack of a police force did begin to show all sorts of drawbacks, forcing the Executive Committee to shift its attention from the military's brilliant record to the local security situation.

According to the demographic statistics of the Ministry of Civil Affairs at the end of the first quarter, the current ratio of the number of garrisons to the total population in Sanya is about 1 to 20, and this terrible ratio is definitely a table of extreme militarism if placed in the time and space before the time travel, and the only country that can reach this level is probably the army of a hereditary dynasty on the northern peninsula - more than 20 million people have nearly a million land forces. However, the situation of that dynasty is somewhat similar to the current situation of Annan in this time and space. There is only the army, and the navy and other arms are almost negligible.

The powerful Haihan militia brought an invincible record and an ever-expanding power map to the Crossing regime, but the negative effects of this began to slowly become apparent. The police division under the Ministry of Justice has a ratio of only 1:300 to the total population. Originally, this ratio was not so bad, but in the process of several military expansions, the military even transferred some armed personnel who originally belonged to the police department. Of course, the result of this transfer is naturally that the meat buns beat the dogs, and there is no return, and the already overstretched police force becomes even more scarce, and the consequences of this situation will soon become apparent.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Justice, the number of law and order cases in Sanya has increased tenfold in the past year compared to the first year after the crossing! Not only has the police force not been able to increase during this period, but the number of police officers has been reduced by nearly 20 percent because of the military's salary cut. If it weren't for Ren Liang's background in the Military Police Department, I'm afraid the two sides would have started to tear up openly a long time ago.

As for the Ministry of Justice's "crying", of course, the Executive Committee will not be able to continue to fight with the mud, and the battle that should be fought is over, and the probability of another large-scale war breaking out in the near future should be relatively small, and some resources can be considered to concentrate on internal judicial construction. As a result, the Ministry of Justice obtained the approval of the Executive Committee to establish a specialized judicial professional training school and expand the police force to reverse the declining law and order situation in Sanya.
