"They already have 3 ocean frigates!" Zhou Peiliang stood on the deck of the Wei Qing, looking at the two big sword-class frigates that were already anchored in Taiping Port and said with mixed feelings.

The 054a ship is more than 16 meters wide, while the Big Sword Class is only more than 14 meters wide. However, if you don’t look at it from the front, because the tonnage and length are slightly larger, the body of the Big Sword Class frigate looks a little more majestic than the 054a frigate, which considers many stealth elements.

"The Type 22 frigates that participated in the Battle of Horse Island back then have fallen behind, and these two are even castrated products!" Zheng Zhongjian beside him carefully looked at the two big swords not far away, and said disdainfully.

Both ships have undergone simple maintenance and look completely renewed. However, although the naval gun is still there, the missiles on it are only Feiyu anti-ship missiles with a range of 42 kilometers. The Harpoon anti-ship missiles with a range of 130 kilometers and the Seawolves and air missiles have even been dismantled. Relying on the Erlitong machine gun and goalkeeper close defense system, it is OK to deal with pirates, but when facing those long-range anti-ship missiles and air strike forces, you can only catch them.

"Foreign devils are just cheating outsiders. We are too lazy to see these outdated things." Deputy Captain Chen Bin said angrily.

After the two big knife-class frigates entered the port, the local Chinese instructors planned to go up and see what was new, but they were stopped by the British who came with the ship.

When selling the Big Sword Frigate, the United Kingdom and Taiping signed an agreement that the relevant secrets must not be disclosed at will. Although this is only a normal form, when the ship was carrying instructors from Britain, the British automatically took the chicken feathers as a command arrow. Perhaps they had already prepared when they heard that there were local Chinese instructors on the island. Anyway, all the people wearing local Chinese military uniforms were blocked outside.

Some ordinary soldiers were wearing civilian uniforms and followed the civilians of Taiping Kingdom to visit, but the officers could not bear the face and suffered such insults.

...

"We have to separate them early, otherwise there will be problems sooner or later!" The fat man complained to Li Xiang.

In order to show neutrality and to be slightly further away from China, the migrant population on the island is not only from China's instructors.

In addition to ambassadors and agents from 56 countries, many business missions or representatives from various countries also live on Taiping Island. Although their number is not as large as that of migrant workers, it is more than 200 people.

When Taiping Kingdom purchased foreign weapons, in addition to sending people to visit and study, instructors will also be invited to Taiping Island for local training.

For example, the Swedish Gripen fighter had a 10-person instructor group. The Sea Harrier fighter and Tomcat fighter were basically trained in the United Kingdom and the United States, but as the runway was almost completed, it would be moved to the island for on-site training for a while. Come and train the team.

The Germans' Leopard 2 tanks, weasels, weasels and other tanks were purchased. There were also 15 instructors and maintenance teams. After the Russians sold the landing ship, they left an 8-person training team with the team. Even the Americans bought their Black Hawk helicopters in Taiping Country, and a 7-person training team came. Even the Italians and the French had two or three weapons instructors left on the island.

They all came in the name of companies from various countries. Even the arms companies that did not trade with Taiping state-owned weapons for the time being also have representatives staying on Taiping Island.

During this period, Taiping Kingdom has spent money everywhere and purchased more than US$1 billion of weapons. It may not be comparable to the purchases of wealthy people and big countries in the Middle East, but it is also very eye-catching among small countries. Although I don’t know when this gold mine will be dug, I took advantage of the fact that Taiping Kingdom had the need to build a country, so they directly squatted on Taiping Island, intending to get some orders every month before the water is approaching.

When they heard the news that pirates were harassing Taiping Kingdom, there were more people like this.

This means that Taiping Country, which needs to protect itself, has more orders. They don’t need to know that the pirates belong to that group of forces. If possible, they can even personally pretend to be pirates and force Taiping people to buy more arms.

Americans are the best at provoking wars and selling arms, but they are not pretending to be pirates, but directly supporting national agents, and inciting wars between countries. Faced with the pirates appearing near Taiping Kingdom, Americans were also a little puzzled, and even guessed that those omnipotent arms dealers were on the head.

However, among all the foreign personnel, there are the most people from China. In addition to the more than 1,000 migrant workers from China, the more than 100 instructors from China alone have a total of other countries, which inevitably attracts suspicion from other countries.

Spending more money to invite training instructors from other countries is also a way to avoid suspicion.

Even if they avoid suspicion, some personnel from other countries still received instructions, tempted and kept provoking some things.

After the Russians with the worst temper were cheated by Taiping people and killed chickens and monkeys twice, they thought of the two Japanese who died here and the Japanese government stopped inquiries. They had received some warnings to establish good relations with Taiping countries and people from other countries that were trying to make orders no longer test the Taiping people, but instead used all kinds of tests on the local Chinese people.

"You can't cause trouble outside or cause diplomatic disputes. You must know that diplomacy is nothing small. If you have any problems, you can bear it first and wait for the organization to solve these problems!" This was emphasized by the warship political commissar Zhou Peiliang and the regiment commander Hu Donghua, who was still stationed in Taiping Kingdom under the banner of private business inspections, repeatedly to the soldiers and migrant workers from the local area.

The saying that diplomacy is nothing small is very famous in China, and it is easy to end a person's political life because of a small thing. Therefore, in the diplomatic affairs of China, it becomes the truth without seeking merit, but seeking nothing wrong.

"My brother had a fight with the Russians a few days ago, and he didn't even remember anything. He still slapped the table with the American instructor yesterday and almost pulled out his gun. Why did he have to go around them when he got to us?" Zhao Sangui said in dissatisfaction in private.

"Even if you go around, you will be honest with me. If you get into trouble, you will be too heavy for yourself and drag down the collective!" Zheng Zhongjian, who was inadvertently heard this, got furious on the spot and scolded him hard.

"What's the point of being fierce to one's own people? That Chinese local girl selling wontons at the night market was teased by the drunk Russians. In the end, it wasn't the Taiping people who came forward to deal with it?" Zhao Sangui muttered to himself.

Anyway, he is also open-minded, and at worst he can retire and come to Taiping Country. But this kind of thing must not be said. Once he is treated as a deserter or put on some hats, he will definitely be done for the rest of his life. Even if he goes abroad, he can't even think about going abroad. Just a few excuses can make you unable to leave the country for the rest of his life. However, it's nothing to be able to confront the superiors without any pain. Maybe he retires early because of this. Some people can't even make a reserve service, and it's easier to go abroad.

Zheng Zhongjian was so indifferent that he couldn't speak anything else.

...

When the chaos-selling girl was teased by the drunk Russians, he and the political commissar were present.

"Stop!" He shouted loudly at that time.

However, the subsequent persuasion was to play the piano against the drunk Russians. Seeing the foreigners pointing at the onlookers of several countries, the political commissar reminded him that he could do was to call the police immediately. Before he could remember the phone call from the Taiping Police Department, a young man from Taiping had already rushed up and punched the tall Russian in the face.

When they persuaded the jealous soldiers to stay calm, the Russians were already beaten by a group of young men from Taiping who were swarming. They rescued the three Russians with bruised noses and swollen faces when the police came.

"They are too uneasy!" Hu Donghua sighed when he heard the news, "The Russian just now just teased him with words and did not touch him. If they remained restrained, they would not be so passive when they waited for the police not far away nearby to come."

"As long as we take the blame, no matter who we are, you just have to beat him up! I will do the reasonable things!" It was this time that Li Xiang's famous saying was circulated.

The final result was not as passive as Hu Donghua sighed. Nothing happened again except for Taiping State paying some medical expenses. According to rumors, the Russian ambassador to Taiping State, who ran to the palace of Li Xiang, who was angrily slapped the table, was left dejectedly by Li Xiang's few words.

No one knew what Li Xiang said until the Russians caused a dispute when the second drunken incident caused, and the ambassador who came to handle the matter was also polite.

...

Because of the girl's local Chinese identity, this incident has been widely circulated among migrant workers. Zheng Zhongjian regretted not taking action at that time, and was also glad that he did not take action at that time. The conflict made him thorn in his heart. Hearing Zhao Sangui's complaint, he could only leave one sentence:

"This is an order!"

The sensitive Shen Peiliang, Hu Donghua and others had already noticed the temptation of foreigners. So on the one hand, they tried their best to show that they were close to Taiping Kingdom, and even the confinement order was cancelled, allowing the soldiers to interact more with Taiping Kingdom. On the other hand, they were always alert to not cause trouble and keep a distance from foreigners. This was why Zhao Sangui said that he was walking around.

But they hid, and those foreigners who came with purpose became more interested. A series of things involving various countries continued to happen, including the rejection of Chinese local soldiers on the Big Sword-class frigate this time, which gave the fat man who was responsible for some of the intelligence and coordination functions a headache.
