Chapter 721: The Calamity of Outer Mongolia
After inspecting this shocking metal mountain range, everyone in the team was also unusually sighing and excited, and then there was a silence.
So much so that when night fell, after everyone returned to the capital city of Inner Mongolia by plane, a rather grand reception banquet was carried out with some interest.
After all, the inspection team is not an ordinary person, as a group of leaders of the central organs of the Huaxia State, they are all shouldering important tasks.
The emergence of such a majestic metal mine is a good thing, but this major unexpected surprise often marks many of the previous established arrangements and changes in the country's development strategy.
The silence of the crowd is not really a depression, but the inability to concentrate on the banquet for the time being, and secretly, it is also a long time to put their minds on the layout of the new round of national development strategy.
In addition, these leaders are not alone, and behind every dignitary official who can climb to the elder's seat, there are naturally many supporters and interests entangled.
Such a metal mountain range in front of us that almost spans the entire northern border of China undoubtedly contains a great and far-reaching significance.
Anyone who can link the interest groups behind them without affecting the country's development strategy and the family behind them is connected to it.
In order to achieve a better long-term stability and prosperity, it is naturally a very important and complex issue, and this undoubtedly requires them to plan carefully.
At the same time, they should also have further discussions and exchanges with each other.
In contrast, the banquet itself naturally became a little irrelevant.
……
"Alas, in this way, life over there in Outer Mongolia will not be easy!"
In a quiet and elegant attic, the Great Elder and Zhao Hao were sitting on the single sofa at this time, with spiritual tea and fruits in front of them, looking very relaxed.
In front of you is a floor-to-ceiling glass window, through which you can see the stars outside the window and the bustling night view of the city.
At this time, the dinner party had ended, and the leaders had already returned to their rooms to rest one after another, and the great elder deliberately left Zhao Hao behind and had a rather relaxed chat.
"Hehehe, now that there is such a mountain range blocking the border, the days in Outer Mongolia will indeed become very difficult in the future, I heard that they also died a lot in that heavy snow. ”
After Zhao Hao took a sip of spiritual tea, he said with a chuckle.
"No, hundreds of thousands, and almost all the livestock raised on the grassland are about to die, if it weren't for the fact that a few incense sticks in the past, a batch of supplies were sent to them.
With their own words, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wait for the snow disaster to melt, and now there are more mountains, hehehehe~"
The Great Elder said, and he couldn't help but have a meaningful smile on his face.
Think about it, as a well-known poor country in Asia, Outer Mongolia is rich in mineral resources.
However, under the condition that all the territory within its territory was completely surrounded by Tsarist Russia in the north and China in the south, the country basically lost all its strategic development direction at the beginning of its establishment.
Under the limitations of such natural conditions, no matter how abundant the country's own resources are, it will not help, let alone form a healthy environment for development.
Because for Outer Mongolia, if all their goods and goods want to be exported, they must pass through the territory of the two mountains in the north and south.
Any outside country that wants to buy their goods must also look at the faces of Tsarist Russia and China, otherwise, as long as the border is closed, no goods can get out.
In this case, the wisest thing for Outer Mongolia to do is to sell things to Huaxia.
This is their only way out.
Tsarist Russia in the north had little interest in importing their goods.
Because in terms of the richness of natural resources and various mineral deposits, there are much more in Tsarist Russia than in Outer Mongolia, and the cost is cheaper.
They can't develop it at home, there is no need to import it from Outer Mongolia, and they don't have the money to buy it.
In addition, the corruption of various officials and the solidification of classes in Outer Mongolia have led to the fact that the people at the bottom do not have much money to consume, and the momentum of domestic demand is seriously insufficient.
The means of production and natural resources in the country still belong entirely to the aristocracy.
In this case, Outer Mongolia can only buy various domestic minerals to China through resource exports.
However, the situation has changed again, and the sudden appearance of the metal mountain range across the border almost indicates that China will no longer be short of metal ore for a long time to come.
This situation is almost a fatal blow to Outer Mongolia, which is close at hand.
Moreover, even if Huaxia would continue to import all kinds of minerals from them for some political reasons, the price would definitely not be the same as before.
Recently, the news that there is a mountain range in northern China that is almost entirely composed of various high-quality metal ores has spread.
After the taboo topic became a taboo topic in Kangaroo Country and other places, the trading price of metal ore, which had quietly risen, fell almost in a very short period of time.
Various corresponding financial products have also depreciated sharply.
Subsequently, although with the efforts of all parties, the price of metal ore began to stabilize and gradually recovered, but it is still far from the previous price.
After all, the meaning of that huge mine mountain is there right now is so clear that it is almost impossible to argue.
However, the appearance of this mountain range has an impact on Outer Mongolia that goes far beyond that.
Putting aside these economic and political factors, from a geographical point of view, the emergence of such a large mountain range will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the earth's environment!
For example, under the influence of this mountain range, which rises almost from the ground and has a relative drop of several kilometers, the cold snap from Siberia in winter can be quite affected.
Most of the cold fronts will be blocked in Outer Mongolia.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for the regions within Huaxia, as the temperature in winter may not be so cold anymore.
But for Outer Mongolia, those cold currents that were blocked back by the mountains suddenly converged on their borders.
The grassland area is already deficient in its ability to withstand various natural disasters, and the increasingly cold winter and more snowfall than before are even more devastating for the herders.
This will undoubtedly be a serious blow!
In summer, the moist air flow from the ocean area will also be affected by this mountain range, and a large amount of wet air flow will be blocked by the mountain range, and then intercepted in the territory of China.
Therefore, the rainfall in northern China is bound to form a second blessing after the greening action in the central and western regions.
But for Outer Mongolia, this is definitely not good news, and the blocking of the moist air flow from the ocean almost indicates that the rainfall on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia will be greatly reduced.
Winters are cold, and summers are not moistened by rain, and over time......
For Outer Mongolia, this will undoubtedly be a catastrophe!
It can be said that although Zhao Hao's gift this time is a precious and far-reaching feast for Huaxia, it is definitely the beginning of their many disasters and difficulties for Outer Mongolia.
"There's one thing, Xiao Zhao, do you know? It's just that~ Some time ago, sister countries and countries in Europe suddenly announced that they would set up a joint research and development department on space projects.
As if in response to our virtual technology plans, these Western countries are looking beyond the universe in the name of flaunting the future of humanity, and their governments are getting involved. ”
During the chat, the Great Elder also suddenly changed the topic at this time and talked about international affairs.
"Hmm~ I know that cooperating in the development of aerospace science and technology is indeed a big deal, after all, is that the real future, isn't our country not relaxing in this regard. ”
When Zhao Hao heard this, he responded with a smile with some meaningful expressions.
"That's true, but there are some deeper reasons for this cooperation, how much do you know about this?"
The Great Elder's face was calm at this time, but there was a burning look in his eyes.
"Is the Great Elder talking about the change in the terrestrial environment on Mars, or is it about the spaceship that is flying from outside the solar system?"
Zhao Hao continued to ask with an unchanged expression at the moment.
