"Comrade Yang Weiping, is the source of your data reliable?" asked the No. 1 leader with an extremely serious face.

"Absolutely reliable!" Yang Weiping said without hesitation: "At that time, for the sake of safety, I burned this information. But I remind myself of the importance of the treasures of the South China Sea almost every day.

The South China Sea is the largest, deepest, and most abundant sea area in China's four major seas. Since the beginning of the 70s, the strategic significance of the resources of the South China Sea has gradually been taken seriously by the governments of various countries in the world.

As early as 1946, the Philippines began to focus on China's Nansha Islands. Among the countries surrounding the South China Sea, the Philippines faces the most serious energy supply problems. It imports 95% of its total oil needs. At the beginning of 1976, the Philippines secretly conducted a tender for oil and gas exploration and development in the South China Sea, and I believe that the intelligence department of the General Staff Department can confirm and verify this information at any time.

The reason why Annan is eyeing China's Xisha and Nansha Islands is that he is now openly sending troops to seize the six large islands of the Nansha Islands, and his ultimate goal is to keep an eye on the huge amount of oil and natural gas contained in the seabed of this sea area. For this reason, he did not hesitate to openly tear his face with my country.

The importance of the ocean, as early as 2,400 years ago, the Greek oceanographer Themistocles predicted: 'Whoever controls the ocean controls everything.' The Americans even put forward the theory of sea power in a clear-cut manner!

Today, with a booming population and energy shortages, 'hungry' humans are becoming more and more dependent on the ocean. In 1960, there were only 12 countries in the world that produced 190 million tons of oil, accounting for 9.2% of total oil production. Now, almost all coastal countries have taken action, and the number of offshore drilling rigs is increasing at a rate of more than 1,000 per year, and the output has accounted for 1/5 of the world's total oil production. The output value is more than 80 billion US dollars!

The South China Sea is China's inherent territorial waters, and national sovereignty absolutely cannot be allowed to be violated by any country. Formulating a scientific energy security strategy for the South China Sea is of very great strategic significance and urgency to China! The overall planning of land and sea must become a clear guideline for China's future development strategy!

"Then what are you hesitating about! Hurry up and take back all the islands and territories that belong to us!" Xu Shangyou said in a murderous and loud voice.

"The Navy is resolutely asking for war! At any cost, we must also ensure that the oil and gas resources in the South China Sea are not snatched from us at all!" Xiao Jinguang, commander of the Navy, stood up with an incomparably firm look and tone and said loudly.

"First take back the six major islands occupied by the Annan army!" Yang Dezhi, commander of the Southwest Military Region, said with a glint in his eyes: "Wait until Annan is resolved." Let's go back and clean up the Philippines!"

"Chief, members. Yang Weiping continued: "The South China Sea is not only rich in resources, but also the choke point of shipping in the Asia-Pacific region! In terms of tonnage, more than half of the merchant fleets of various countries pass through the South China Sea every year, and the traffic volume is three times that of the Suez Canal and 15 times that of the Panama Canal.

According to the reliable data I have, in the shipping of international trade, the volume of raw materials and grain accounts for more than 90% of the total volume. Petroleum and petroleum products account for about 55%, and iron ore accounts for about 10%.

Specifically, more than 80% of the crude oil imported by Japan, South Korea and Taiwan from the Middle East, Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia and other places needs to be transported through the South China Sea, and the vast majority of LNG and coal imported from South Africa and Vietnam also need to take this route.

Arguably. More than two-thirds of South Korea's energy supply, and more than 60% of Japan's and Taiwan's energy supply depend on the 'life route' of the South China Sea.

Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of energy, shipping routes, or geopolitics, the South China Sea is regarded as the top priority by all countries in the world. Not only Annan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and other neighboring countries regard this place as a paradise for adventurers, but even countries such as the United States and the Soviet Union, which have nothing to do with the South China Sea, want to fight for a place in the South China Sea. ”

"The treasure land of the South China Sea must not be lost! Otherwise, any of us here will become a historical sinner of the Chinese nation!" Chief No. 1 looked around at all the members and alternate members of the Central Military Commission present with extremely solemn eyes, and said solemnly:

"In the past, due to domestic political reasons, we were out of touch with the world for a whole decade! At the same time, this also led to a serious deviation in our understanding of the world and our grasp of information. Comrades, if Comrade Yang Weiping had not told us what he knew and grasped today, we would certainly have made mistakes in our understanding of the South China Sea strategy.

Today, I solemnly state that the islands and sea areas of the Xisha Islands and the Nansha Islands must be recovered! We must not only take them back, but also build them well. Even if the people of the whole country tighten their belts, they must ensure that there will be no mistakes in the South China Sea strategy! Now, vote by show of hands!"

After speaking, the No. 1 leader took the lead in raising his right hand.

Without any hesitation, all the members of the Central Military Commission and the members present raised their right hands and unanimously approved the meeting.

"Comrade Sumitsu, the Navy needs to put a break from its original operational plan as soon as possible and come up with a new plan for military strategy in the South China Sea. The No. 1 leader said solemnly.

"Please rest assured that the Central Military Commission will resolutely complete its mission!" Xiao Jinguang stood up and raised his hand in salute.

"Comrade Wei Ping, you have the deepest and clearest understanding of the South China Sea strategy. Chief No. 1 continued by name and said, "Do you have any suggestions for our country's marine development strategy?"

Yang Weiping got up and saluted first, and then said confidently: "Regarding the issue of China's marine development strategy, I think Yu Shao should start studying from five aspects. First, coastal defense posts should be established on important uninhabited islands and reefs of strategic significance, and troops should be stationed to defend the islands.

Second, it is necessary to establish a number of large-scale production and livelihood support bases in the South China Sea. This is because in the South China Sea, far from the mainland, we have fishermen working, all kinds of scientific expeditions, and all kinds of exploration and mining activities, all of which need to be guaranteed, at least oil, water, food, and rescue guarantees.

Third, establish a regular inspection and monitoring mechanism and system. In all of China's territorial waters, not only the ships of the fishery administration and maritime surveillance should be regularly inspected, but also the navy's exercises and the government's official ships should be regularly inspected.

Fourth, it is necessary to settle the issue of sovereignty over islands in the South China Sea that have been invaded and occupied by other countries once and for all. To that end, it is necessary for us to prepare for war.

Fifth, it was reported to the State Council to formally establish Sansha City, and all the islands and sea areas of Nansha, Xisha and Zhongsha were assigned to Sansha City and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Central Government. ”

Following Yang Weiping's sudden unveiling of the South China Sea strategy and maritime development strategy, Chief No. 1 made the decision to temporarily convene an enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission. He also invited several members of the State Council, Premier Zhao Dongyang, and other government departments.

This meeting not only confirmed the South China Sea strategy and formally established Sansha City, China's fourth municipality directly under the central government, but also carried out preliminary reforms in army building.

Under Yang Weiping's guidance, two paramilitary organs, the Armed Police Headquarters and the Coast Guard Headquarters, were set up, which were jointly managed by the Central Military Commission and the State Council.

The public security border guards and the public security forces were all placed under the jurisdiction of the Armed Police Headquarters and renamed the Armed Police Force.

With regard to the establishment and structure of the armed police force, Yang Weiping, of course, directly applied the ready-made model of China's armed police force in the previous generation. Moreover, the newly established coast guard force also follows the organizational structure of the armed police, but its personnel are not as large as the armed police, and the scale is about 35,000 people.

The full name of the coast guard is the coast guard, and the departments of fishery administration, maritime supervision, maritime investigation, marine meteorology, marine observation, and marine exploration are all under the jurisdiction of the coast guard headquarters.

The new unit was established, and of course Yang Weiping had to be busy for the standard clothing of the new unit for a while.

The armed police force directly adopted the 07-style armed police military (police) uniform of our country in the previous life, but the epaulette of the military rank was changed to a collar badge.

The public security police force has also planned to change all of them into Type 99 police uniforms and ranks.

The Coast Guard is the standard uniform of the Marine Corps, but the military rank has been replaced with the same style and logo as the 99-style police rank, with the regular uniform as the epaulette and the training uniform as the collar badge. The military cap is designed as an ocean blue beret to distinguish it from the Marines' black berets.

The ships and communications equipment equipped by the coast guard are on the same level as those of the navy, but the firepower has been weakened a little, and it does not appear to be so aggressive, and the communication system is connected with the navy.

During this period, China's garment processing and textile industries were basically all working overtime, because the State Council made it clear that before the 30 th National Day ceremony on 1 October, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) navy, land and air force, the Second Artillery Corps, the armed forces, the coast guard force, and the public security police force will all change their uniforms and confer titles.

The negotiating delegation sent by the Annan government, headed by Prime Minister Pham Van Dong and Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Angola Nguyen Van Linh, also held three consecutive talks with the Chinese diplomatic negotiation delegation.

The Annam Government wants to use the armistice talks to delay time, and the Chinese Government also needs time for the Navy to reformulate a new operational plan.

Based on this principle shared by both sides, the negotiators of the two sides are basically talking about what is going on, that is, they are not talking about substantive issues.

In the international political circles, the governments of various countries in the world have spoken highly of the generosity shown by the Chinese government.

Everyone knows that with the strong combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, it conquered Lang Son and walked out of the last mountain pass in the northern mountainous area of Annam, and the following plain terrain was more favorable to the air-ground coordinated operation of the mechanized troops in China, and it was not difficult to reach Hanoi, the capital of Annam, and occupy Hanoi in one go.

However, the generous Chinese did not do so, and they immediately responded to the Annam government's request for armistice negotiations.

This fully shows that the Chinese army is not at all an aggressor as claimed by the countries of the socialist camp led by the Soviet Union, and they want to completely annex the territory of the Democratic Republic of Annam. (To be continued.) )
