Chapter 431: Africa Strategy (Part II)
For the future exhibition of the mother emperor, Zhao Xinglan must not only make as much money as possible, but also have enough resources in some fields, so as to ensure that the overall situation in the future is always under his control.
Quietly controlling a country through unknown means is part of her future plans.
It is better for this country to be a third world country with weak national strength, unstable situation, and relatively backward economic development, and the vast and sparsely populated and rich resources are of course also important considerations.
Originally, the choice in her mind should be Australia, which has a total area of nearly 8 million square kilometers and is also extremely rich in resources, with a population of only more than 20 million.
It's just that Australia is ruled by white-skinned ghosts, and its ties with major Western countries are too close, and there are too many eyes from all sides, so it is more difficult to operate.
What's more, the water resources on this large 6 are extremely scarce, and it is said that it can only barely meet the living needs of 50 million people, and no more. If you want to break this shackle, unless you invest heavily in the construction of a large number of desalination projects, this is a measure that does not outweigh the benefits.
Comparatively speaking, the choice of Madagascar Island is much more low-key, with the infiltration ability of the mother emperor, it is very easy to secretly control the power of this country in a few years, and then Zhao Xinglan will be the veritable queen behind the scenes of this country.
Madagascar is one of the least reached countries in the world, with a predominantly agricultural economy and a weak industrial base. The agricultural population accounts for more than 8o% of the country's total population, and 7o% of export earnings come from agriculture. The land is fertile, and the climate is suitable for the growth of various tropical and temperate grain and cash crops, and the crops grown are mainly rice, cassava, sweet potatoes and corn. Madagascar is rich in mineral deposits, among which graphite reserves are among the largest in Africa. Madagascar is rich in tourism resources. Since the 90s of the last century, the Malagasy government has listed tourism as a key exhibition industry to encourage foreign investment in tourism.
Traffic is not accessible. The total length of railways is 883 kilometers, and the total length of roads is nearly 5oooo kilometers. There are 35oo kilometers of inland waterways, but only 4oo kilometers are used. There are 18 seaports, and 9o% of sea traffic is concentrated in the eastern port of Tuamasina (Tamataf). Air Madagascar has regular flights to Europe, Africa and the island countries of the Southwest Indian Ocean. There are 57 airports in the country, but only Ivatu Airport is a large international airport.
Fiscal deficits for consecutive years. Foreign trade occupies a relatively important position in the economy, and the policy of liberalizing trade imports and exports has been implemented; export diversification has been encouraged, and the export volume has increased. The main import commodities are petroleum, vehicles, machinery and equipment, medicines, daily necessities and foodstuffs, while the main export commodities are coffee, cloves, juanilla (a flavor raw material), fish, graphite, chromium, etc. The main trading partners are France (3o% of the total), the United States, Japan, Germany, Russia, the oil producers of the Middle East, and the islands of Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean. Since the introduction of economic liberalization, foreign investment has increased year by year.
"Master, I see what you mean,"
The Empress said: "It seems that the next batch of Blade Warriors must be manufactured according to the characteristics of the black race, and several high-level humanoid intelligence divisions must be arranged to operate step by step after establishing a stronghold. ”
"That's exactly how it should be!" Zhao Xinglan said with satisfaction.
The Republic of Madagascar is also a democratic system, with a **** system, and as long as you are a legal citizen of the country, you can participate in the presidential election. Therefore, it is not difficult to get a high-level wisdom split package, provide enough funds and other resources to put into operation, and want to grab that presidential throne.
Government agencies, the National Assembly, the Senate, and other important departments can use this method to infiltrate and control them one by one, and there is nothing that money cannot solve in such backward countries that copy the Western democratic political system.
"But it doesn't seem to be the time for the country to hold a general election, and if you want to let the wisdom split to the throne, I'm afraid it will take several years!" said the Queen Mother.
"There's no hurry, it will take time for the Wisdom Split to integrate into the country legally, but we can let the Combat Split kill all those leaders with high prestige first! She said.
Zhao Xinglan discussed with the mother emperor for a while, finalized the general plan, and the rest of the things were left to Phantom Li to be responsible for perfecting and putting into action.
"By the way, when is your next transformation?" Zhao Xinglan asked again.
"It's around March next year, and of course if we can get more rare resources, maybe we can do it earlier. The Mother Queen said.
Zhao Xinglan asked thoughtfully: "The rare resources you are talking about are not nuclear bombs and nuclear reactors, right? And those supporting advanced weapons, didn't you eat enough last meal?"
Those two nuclear submarines are not only the most advanced killer features of the polar bears, but also the various weapons carried on them are also rare treasures. Needless to say, the 16o nuclear warheads on the 16 "Hammer" intercontinental missiles, as well as long-range sound cruise missiles, "Zircon" anti-ship missiles, "Storm" heavy torpedoes, short-range ship-to-air missiles, and so on.
"Master, it was indeed the most sumptuous meal I had since I was born, but if I could have another meal, the resources I had accumulated would be even richer, and the next transformation time would be two months earlier. The Mother explained.
Zhao Xinglan was silent, there is no need to talk about nuclear warheads, nuclear reactors are also special resources strictly controlled by major countries, and there is no way to purchase them, so if you want to, you can only rob them.
However, there are only a few polar bears in total, the God of the North Wind and Yasen, and since the last disappearance, the president has ordered all nuclear submarines to return to the naval base to rest indefinitely, so there is no chance to do it.
"Okay, let's go and rob the people of the United States this time. Zhao Xinglan finally said.
"If you can, grab a few more. The Mother Queen emphasized in particular.
"Okay, it's up to you. Zhao Xinglan smiled.
The Americans have a much larger number of nuclear submarines, as many as fourteen in the Ohio-class, three in the Seawolf-class, and dozens in the Los Angeles and Virginia classes combined.
Compared with polar bears, the people of the United States are actually more hateful, and their nuclear submarines always like to hang around at the door of China's house, and it is not bad to find an opportunity to kill a few. From Zhao Xinglan's standpoint, it is only fair that both countries suffer!
