The three sisters of the Hu family have not seen each other for a long time, and they are all laughing all the way.

Tian Yi saw that they were in a happy mood, so he casually asked, "Sister Yali, how is the situation on Fengming Island now?"

Hu Yali replied: "Chishui Reef has been developed to be 10 kilometers long and 7.8 kilometers wide, surrounded by a number of independent small islands and reefs, and the surrounding waters are quite rich in natural resources. In fact, half a year ago, we independently completed the 2.8 square kilometers artificial island project in the southwest of Chishui Reef, in addition, Chishui Reef is also the command center of Fengming Island in Chishui. The strategic significance of Chishui Reef is not trivial, except that Fiery Cross Reef is the largest relative to the surrounding small islands and reefs. In the future, the excess area will be 200 square kilometers, so the development of Chishui Reef is the best plan, both for economic value and military use. ”

"In order to better exploit and utilize oil and gas resources, we have also launched the "island-building plan" around Fengming, and our submarine pipeline project has been completed for 190 kilometers. The diameter is 80 cm, and the weight of a single root is 12 tons. In the future, after the project is completely completed, there will be a "sea city" on Chishui Reef, and then we can tell the voyeurs domineeringly, even if we offend China, we will be punished even if we are far away. It is worth mentioning that we were able to carry out the island-building project mainly because of the diamonds and gold that were excavated in Neverland. Hu Yafang said proudly.

The construction plan of Chishui will be carried out according to the standards of a modern city. There will be a number of infrastructure measures on the island to meet the standards of urban construction.

"There are dozens of islands around the sea area of Fengming Island, why did you choose Fiery Cross Island?" Tianyi asked.

"Chishui Island is nearly 3 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide, and there are many small islands and reefs scattered around the reef, which contain abundant resources at the bottom of the reef. In the past six months, the reclamation project has been launched, and nearly 3 square kilometers of artificial islands have been added around Fiery Cross Island. Chishui Island is not only rich in energy, but Chishui Island is also an important base. Therefore, we attach great importance to the construction of Chishui Island. Recently, we have also launched an "island-building" project around Chishui Island. ”

"The so-called island-building plan means that we will be mining seabed resources on Chishui Island. Nearly several kilometers of construction of a submarine pipeline have been completed. The average weight of these pipelines has reached 12 tons, and after completion, Chishui Island will have the existence of a "maritime city". For such a grand project, it is also due to the gold and diamonds mined in Neverland during this time. Hu Yafang replied.

Hu Yali continued: "Of the dozens of islands and reefs around Fengming Island, we currently only control 4, and the rest are occupied by surrounding forces. Vietnam accounted for 29 of them. Before we blew sand and reclaimed the reefs, there were four airport runways in the Spratlys, ranging in length from 550 to 1,368 meters, belonging to the Eskimos, Vikings, Bourbons, and slaves. We are the only ones who have no actual control. We started to reclaim the reef in Chishui to build the island, and at first it was a small fight, but in the first half of the year, we suddenly started to work on the seven reefs under our control at the same time. In just half a year, four islands and reefs were filled. The sea area around Fengming Island has the largest island of 0.5 square kilometers. ”

"At present, the four new islands around Fengming Island are Chishui, Yongjia, Gaizhu and Duqiao. The area is 5.5, 4.3, 3.2 and 2.8 square kilometers, respectively. In the future, airports will be built on the four islands, with runways of 2,700 meters, 3,250 meters, 3,200 meters and 3,160 meters respectively. Airports are currently under construction on the four islands. At the instigation of the Lijians, we have had various disputes with the Eskimos, Vikings, Bourbons, slaves, and other forces in the surrounding region over the division of sovereignty over the islands and territorial waters, the continental shelf, and the exclusive economic zone of Chishui. ”

"The sea area of Chishui Island is rich in fishery resources, waterway resources and oil and gas resources, and is one of the four major oil and gas resource centers around it. Its petroleum geological reserves are about 23 billion ~ 30 billion tons, and the exploitable value alone is more than 2 billion tons, accounting for about one-third of China's total resources. Took control of the islands and reefs around Chishui Island. This means that it directly or indirectly controls the surrounding hubs, from Eskimo to Fengming Island, from our east to the Philippines, and even most of the sea lanes of various countries. The foreign trade volume of this sea route accounts for more than 80% of China's foreign trade. ”

Controlling the islands and reefs around Chishui means directly or indirectly controlling the surrounding hubs. Most sea lanes from Singapore to Hong Kong, from Guangdong to Manila in the Philippines, and even from East Asia to West Asia, Africa and Europe. There is a saying that the foreign trade volume passing through the South China Sea channel accounts for more than 60% of China's foreign trade.

"The solution to the problems of the surrounding waters is nothing more than a sound peaceful way or a radical non-peaceful way. And peace is often built on the guarantee of great power. Chishui Island was completely completed by reclamation of land, and the project was huge and expensive. In the eyes of many, the gains outweigh the losses, or it is unnecessary. But is that really the case?" Tianyi said.

As you mentioned earlier, we have a general understanding that the strongholds in the Chishui region are basically unable to complete self-sufficient small coral reefs. Prior to this, in order to control these islands and reefs in the South China Sea as much as possible, we adopted the method of building stilt houses on the islands and reefs with better conditions. And in order to supply the island, we have to spend a lot of money to transport supplies, including large quantities of fresh water.

"The normal life of personnel is still a problem, and the difficulty of expanding into a base can be imagined. Although we claim sovereignty over the Chishui Islands, the internal reason why the surrounding forces can unscrupulously occupy many islands is that we cannot effectively deter and occupy the islands and reefs further south, in addition to being close to them. Hu Yafang said sadly.

We can't cruise in the Chishui area at all, if we take off from Neverland, it will take 1,000 kilometers to fly to the nearest level, and our flight radius is less than 2,000 kilometers, so we can't cruise Nansha at all. Even forces like the Eskimos build their own airfields on the projectile reef.

In order to solve this problem, the six largest dredgers were Xuankun 1, Xuankun 2, Xuankun 3, Xuankun 4, Xuankun 5, and Xuankun 6. Reclamation operations were carried out on Chigua Reef, Gaizhu, Duqiao and Yongjia Reef. The reef holds the passage of Chishui to the sea, and to the south is a bottomless trough.

We have a large reclamation of the sea on Fiery Cross Reef to create a dry harbor, and we developed this reef very early. However, judging from the current structure that is gradually taking shape, China intends to build this island and reef into an important naval and air base. Chishui is extremely important in terms of geographical location. Not only for all kinds of ships, including aircraft carriers, but also for a large naval base. Judging from the scale after completion, the area of Chilin Island is only 0.44 square kilometers compared to the non-Li people.

The area is too small and extremely vulnerable to attack, and it is impossible to build a large-scale military base and implement a large-scale strategic material reserve. According to the landlord's investigation, due to the limitations of coral reefs, coral reef reclamation is necessary to retain a large enough area of live coral reefs to ensure the safety of the island.

From an economic point of view, if you want to develop and utilize red water resources, it is very difficult to have no large islands as a base, and the development of no platform is bound to greatly increase the cost. Therefore, it is very necessary to build a large artificial island, build a large naval base, and build a city as a large-scale platform for the development and utilization of Chishui resources.

From a strategic point of view, once this base is completed, its geographical location will be precisely between the four major naval bases of Eskimo, Viking, Bourbon, and Nu, and it will be the key point of sea communication around Chishui, leading to the important international shipping lanes that must be passed, so it can be seen that the strategic position of the Chishui Islands is very important. At present, with the gradual deepening of Fengming Island in the surrounding waters. The reality that no single power is capable of confronting us alone will force them to seriously consider our position in the surrounding waters.

Therefore, once certain forces are determined to be around us to the end, there will definitely be a certain super-force. In the opening sentence, the solution to the North Sea issue is nothing more than a prudent peaceful way or a radical non-peaceful way. In the construction of these islands and reefs, we will steadily build them into islands in a peaceful way, so that various forces will gradually compromise after seeing our firm stance and strong material resources.

These "islands" can provide direct military bases for the country, and at the same time provide serious deterrence to the core locations of Eskimos, Vikings, Bourbons, and slaves. Judging from the satellite pictures of the current base for the expansion of the islands and reefs, the islands in the North Sea have been completed entirely through the method of land reclamation, and the project is huge and expensive, which really shows our determination.

Since the beginning of this year, China's reclamation in the South China Sea has come to an end, and the construction projects on the islands have been completed one after another.

These four islands and reefs belong to the reef reclamation island, and Chishui Island was already a large island in the North Sea before this, and the land reclamation belongs to the expansion area. There is an airport on the island, which can be used for passenger planes and fighter jets to take off and land after completion, and the airport facilities are currently being improved.

The solution to the North Sea problem is nothing more than a prudent peaceful way or a radical non-peaceful way. And peace is often built on the guarantee of great power. Judging from recent satellite images, the Nansha islands were completed entirely through land reclamation, and the project is huge and expensive, and in the eyes of many people, the gains outweigh the losses, or it is unnecessary. But is that really the case?

Our stronghold in the Chishui region is basically not able to complete the self-sufficient small coral reefs, and we have been trying to control these islands and reefs in the South China Sea as much as possible. The occupation was carried out by building stilt houses on islands and reefs in relatively good condition. In order to replenish the garrison on the island, we spent a lot of money transporting supplies, including large quantities of fresh water.

"Now the normal life of Chishui personnel is still a problem, and the difficulty of expanding into a base can be imagined. The lack of a base also gives rise to more obvious shortcomings. Hu Yafang said.

Tianyi said: "There is nothing wrong with these, I will solve it." ”
