Neither China nor Australia can do it, but in Timor-Leste, it is much more convenient.

As far as Lin Han knows, the relevant laws in Timor-Leste are very imperfect and have hardly been effectively implemented, civilian guns are rampant, and the government is too lazy to take care of them.

After all, it is one of the poorest and most backward countries in the world, and it has to rely on other countries and international organizations for food.

Looking at the gun in his hand, Lin Han's thoughts gradually thought of other places.

Timor-Leste may be a small country, but geographically it is a key link between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

The Pacific Rim is the center of the contemporary world, including China, the United States, Russia, and Japan.

The Indian Ocean, on the other hand, has always been regarded as the top priority of the world's strategy.

Controlling the Indian Ocean was Napoleon's primary goal in his quest for global hegemony.

Peter the Great of Russia once said: "When Russia has free access to the Indian Ocean, it will be able to establish its own military and political rule throughout the world." ”

One of the important reasons for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was to open a passage to the Indian Ocean.

At the same time, it is also for this reason that India has a series of plans and actions to expand its navy at the expense of blood, preferring to be slaughtered in a pit.

Of course, things didn't turn out so much in line with Ah San's ideals......

It can be seen from this that the strategic location of Timor-Leste is still very important, and it is nothing more than the fact that China has repeatedly helped such a poor country.

In the long run, China's ultimate opponent is undoubtedly the world's number one rogue United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

However, the United States is limited by the innate condition that the American continent is isolated from the Eurasian and African continents, the main plate of the world, and the development of sea power is an inevitable path.

That's why the U.S. Navy is so powerful that it can compete with almost all other navies combined.

Correspondingly, as a great power in Asia, if China wants to achieve its rise, it is imperative to develop land power.

The game between China and the United States is precisely a contest between land power and sea power, and this is undoubtedly an innate and irreconcilable contradiction.

Although the possibility of a direct outbreak of war is not high, in the economic field, the contest between the two sides is becoming increasingly fierce.

For example, the "One Belt, One Road" strategy that China is currently implementing is the main task of land power expansion.

As long as the strategic intent can be fully realized, connecting Europe, Asia and Africa, and establishing a new order dominated by China, China can leave aside the United States, or even play by itself.

In the process of promoting land power, China will inevitably come into conflict with India.

Northeast India is the territory of China, and it is also the roof of the world, the Himalayas, and there is Pakistan in the west, so it is unlikely to compete with China for land power.

Therefore, the best development route for India is naturally to start with the Indian Ocean.

To the west of the Indian Ocean, there is the Middle East as well as Africa. China has a strong layout in Africa and is one of the biggest trump cards in its hands, and India has little hope of intervening.

As for the Middle East...... Wait for Saudi Arabia, which has fallen into the curse of resources, to survive the past few years. Moreover, the route of China's "One Belt, One Road" strategy is clearly marked at the Badar Port at the gate of Saudi Arabia, which cannot be ignored.

Obviously, India's main direction of development is naturally to go all the way to the east, cooperate with certain countries in Southeast Asia and the United States, and do something in the South China Sea.

In the Sino-Indian confrontation incident, if it were not for China's second army in the South China Sea, India's army would not have withdrawn so quickly.

It is conceivable that in the near future, China's layout in the South China Sea and even the whole of Southeast Asia will inevitably increase.

As the southernmost point of Southeast Asia and the junction of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, Timor-Leste must also be a very important layout point for China.

Lin Han gradually had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and immediately asked: "Gaia, I remember that Timor-Leste's oil and gas resources are not bad. ”

"It's okay, but Timor-Leste is too small after all, so it can only be said that it is relatively good," Gaia said. Moreover, the oil fields that the East Timorese are currently exploiting are almost exhausted. ”

Ninety percent of the Timor-Leste government's revenue is based on the exploitation of natural resources such as oil and gas. Now that the oil fields that are being exploited are about to be exhausted, the government must be very anxious now...... This is to send charcoal in the snow.

Lin Han nodded: "In this case, I will choose an oil field in East Timor." ”

"Okay, the oil spill from the sea should be cleared tomorrow, and then I'll tell you about a small oil field in Timor-Leste. ”

Lin Han immediately swam over and climbed to the back of the blue whale: "Send me to the speedboat." ”

The blue whale swam through the water like the wind with him, and in a short time came to the speedboat.

After boarding the speedboat, Lin Han patted the blue whale: "Let's play by myself." ”

The blue whale roared, then shook its head and tail, and jumped up quite happily......

"it!"

The huge waves were surging, and the speedboat was almost overturned, so frightened that Lin Han hurriedly held on to the guardrail.

Fortunately, the blue whale sank into the water in a leap and soon disappeared, and the sea returned to calm.

Lin Han was amazed, and then started the speedboat, heading towards Darwin in the southern part of the Timor Sea.

......

By the time Lin Han returned to his seaside apartment in Darwin, it was already evening.

He took a brief shower, changed his clothes, and then went to a nearby clinic to treat the wound on his chest briefly, and then invited Eric Wang to the Garry Vickers Hotel for a meal.

The seaside apartment he bought was near Lao Wang's villa, which was similar to the next door, so the two met soon and took a car to the hotel together.

When they first met, Lao Wang couldn't help but ask, "I heard that you met pirates in the Timor Sea?"

Lin Han nodded: "Yes, it was a group of guys who came from Indonesia and snatched a cargo ship from a Chinese businessman." ”

"How's it going?"

Lin Han said disapprehantly: "It's been solved." ”

Lao Wang's eyes widened: "Solution?"

"Uh...... I mean, the Chinese businessman is fine. ”

Lin Han's words changed: "By the way, he is now in the Nuyou City Hospital, it is estimated that there is no big problem, let's get together after a while." ”

Lao Wang didn't feel anything: "Of course you can." ”

"One more thing. Smith has already told me that more than 80% of the crude oil spilled at sea has now been disposed of, and at the current rate, it should be about the same tomorrow. ”

"Aren't you planning to invest in oil and gas exploration, and how are the exploration sites for the oil fields chosen?"

Lin Han smiled and said, "It's in Timor-Leste...... Or rather, in Southeast Asia. ”

As he spoke, the car drove past Darwin in the night, and the wind whistled.
