Chapter 839: Port Construction!
The next day, all major domestic news media reported the news of the official opening of the Hongyang high-speed railway, which immediately caused a huge sensation in China. (6) Eight (6) Eight (6) Read (6) Book, .□.≠o
This high-speed railway has not been widely publicized before, so most people are unaware of it, and it is naturally very surprising that it has been announced.
In mid-July, Jan landed on a private jet at Colombo Airport in the Lion Country, and when he stepped out of the cabin, he was greeted by President Sirisena and many Lion State officials, and he had a smile on his face.
In the evening, Yang Jie also met with General Lin Qingquan in a palace where he stayed after attending a dinner at the presidential palace.
This general is the head of the operational advisory group sent to the Lion Country in China, and is an expert in woodland warfare, in his forties, very capable.
When Yang Jie talked to Lin Qingquan, he learned that the navy of the Lion Kingdom cut off the LTTE's logistics support at sea last year, sank 11 ships pretending to be merchant ships to transport arms, and blocked sea transportation routes, while the military continued to bomb the airport, completely cutting off the supply channels of the sea and air.
The army of the Lion State Government continued to attack the core area of the LTTE, and Jian-H-9, with the cooperation of drones, carried out precision bombing of the LTTE's military stronghold.
Naturally, the LTTE was losing ground and had now taken refuge in the primeval forest.
Just last month, intelligence officers provided the location of the LTTE leader, Prabaranca, where he was hiding, and then J-9 and drones with precision-guided zhà dàn bombed the site, killing Prabaranca and several key LTTE personnel on the spot.
This was also a fatal blow to the LTTE, and a large number of LTTE escaped from the primeval forest to escape to the northern kingdom of Tianzhu by boat, only to sink both ships. ⊕ 8⊕8⊕ read ⊕ books, .◇.o≮
Sirisena hated the LTTE to the core, and the government army used very cruel methods to clear the LTTE, and all LTTE members who were caught were summarily executed.
In fact, Quantum Networks also sent war correspondents to report, and the Western media also sent reporters, and the Western media also took the opportunity to hype up the brutal extermination of the LTTE camp by the Lions.
In the middle, Foreign Minister John Bull claimed to mediate and envoy to the Lion Country, and at the same time, Sweden's Deputy Foreign Minister was also going, and Sirisena also responded at the press conference that he didn't know what they were doing, and the main donors of the Lion Country were East Asian countries.
Among them, the Western media also hyped up the abuse and murder of the female anchor of the Tiger Organization, and the official government of the Lion State said that it would investigate, but no one would take the death of the female anchor to heart.
Yang Jie thought that this female anchor had swaggered over to be Prabaranca's mouthpiece before, but now she had fallen to such a point, which made him feel a sense of impermanence of fate.
The war also took a heavy toll on civilians, with some 150,000 to 180,000 civilians still trapped in the remaining LTTE-controlled areas.
The Lion Nation military is still attacking the LTTE, which is besieged in a small area in the northeastern part of the Lion Nation, and the conflict that has lasted for more than 20 years will end once and for all by the end of this month.
During this time, the Western media also hyped up the combat operations of the Lion State in order to curry favor with the Rabbit Country, and the Lion State naturally did not recognize this.
With the imminent collapse of the LTTE, a large number of domestic enterprises have also begun to enter the lion country, Yang Jie also met with many business representatives in Colombo, and also inspected many subsidiaries of Huaxing Group in this branch.
Huaxing Group is now also carrying out deep cultivation on the Lion Country side and has begun to take root here.
Standing on the roof of the Hambantota Port Construction Project Refers to the Military Department Building and looking into the distance, the sea water in the distance is like blue-black velvet satin, and the construction site of the Hambantota is also day and night, brightly lit, like a pearl embedded in the blue-black satin, and the towering hanging tower is also faintly visible.
The construction site in the port industrial park in the north is also working day and night, President Sirisena put his hand behind his waist, turned his head to Yang Jie and said: "The earlier planning can not imagine the weather at this time, this land can be regarded as running into industrialization, with this powerful engine, the economic take-off of the southern region is just around the corner......
The first phase of the Hambantota Port and Port Industrial Zone is scheduled to be completed in the first half of the following year, with a total investment of more than US$5 billion.
Before the start of the Hambantota port construction project, the annual GDP of the southern region of the Lion Kingdom was only 8 billion yuan, but last year it soared to more than 10 billion yuan, and the local fiscal revenue, including land income from entering and exiting, also increased sharply from less than 1 billion yuan to more than 2 billion yuan.
Because the construction of the project has also rapidly boosted the local economy, the growth rate is very obvious, and the direct pull of the Hambantota port construction project on the economy of the southern region of the Lion Country has reached more than 7%, which can indeed be regarded as a powerful engine.
After the tsunami in the Lion Country last year, Sirisena was worried that Huaxing Group would stop the construction of the Hambantota port and industrial park, but he did not expect that after the disaster, these construction projects were started again and accelerated.
None of these events showed that the young boss of the Huaxing Group was an ambitious, steady, and patient figure, which also put him at ease.
President Sirisena was born in the southern region and attached great importance to the construction of his hometown, and he was very satisfied after coming to inspect the construction of the port.
"Mr. Yang, I have asked the transport department to start planning for the highway and railway construction project between Colombo and Hambantota, which, if completed, will greatly reduce the distance and time between the port of Hambantota and Colombo and other cities. ”
Sirisena said.
"That would be great. ”
Yang Jie said with a smile.
"By the way, the Tianzhu State is talking to your country about the leasing of the Matala Rajapaksa International Airport, and I am also very interested in this airport and want to lease it. ”
Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.
Located just half an hour from the port of Hambantota, the international airport is arguably the busiest airport in the world, with an average of only 12 passengers a day and was previously used to store rice because it was heavily idle.
Tianzhu Guo's intention to suddenly lease this airport this time is naturally very obvious, and it is clear that he wants to keep an eye on this Hambantota port and monitor every move of the port.
As the largest neighbor of the Lion Country, Tianzhu Kingdom attaches great importance to the domestic situation of the Lion Country, and now the rabbit will chā jìn the Lion Country, which naturally stimulates the nerves of Tianzhu Kingdom. 11
