At this time, no one cared about whether Yang Weiping intended to change the topic, because everyone was attracted by Yang Weiping's new topic.

"I won't say much about the benefits of the Kra Canal. Yang Weiping did not allow Bush Jr. to answer, and continued in a stern tone slightly: "The world is developing rapidly with each passing day, and if we want to make a breakthrough, we must break some old rules that everyone used to take for granted.

If you don't want to be eliminated by the new wave brought by the new era, you must find a way to innovate, and you must always have a sense of crisis. If a country and a government always think about relying on the advantages of geographical location as the foundation of the country, but do not seek what is the foundation of a truly strong country, such a country and government are like a high-rise building built on the beach, which is very dangerous.

I know that the implementation of the Kra Canal plan may have a certain impact on the economies of certain countries. I can only regret this. Because the survival of the fittest is the natural law of the development of human society, it is not subject to anyone's personal will!

The Kra Canal Project is not an invention of someone named I. This plan was proposed three centuries ago. As for why this plan has not been implemented, I don't want to go into it. Suffice it to say that if I were a beneficiary of the Strait of Malacca, I would definitely do whatever it takes to make the Kra Canal project a success, rather than trying to save some money and do everything possible to sabotage it. Because this can tie a double insurance for me, a vested interest!"

Everyone at the scene heard the potential meaning of Sir Yang's words. It is that countries such as Singapore and Indonesia rely on the topography of the Strait of Malacca, and you should have made enough profits for so many years. Thirty years in Hedong, forty years in Hexi, feng shui takes turns, and this year it's time to come to my house.

At the same time, everyone is secretly thinking about what is the cornerstone of a real strong country.

The countries and governments in the world that have "made their fortunes" by virtue of their geographical location are not the only countries and governments in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Suez Canal, Strait of Gibraltar, Panama Canal. The riparian countries are all enjoying the abundant benefits of their geographical location.

If Sir Young follows this set of concepts, does it not mean that once the geographical advantages of the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal, and the Strait of Gibraltar no longer exist, the existing vested interests of those coastal countries can no longer be guaranteed?

George W. Bush undoubtedly thinks more and farther than anyone else.

This is because the global strategy of the United States is basically based on the Strait of Malacca, the Strait of Gibraltar, the Strait of Bass, the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal and other advantageous geographical locations, and has built a multi-layered network of strategic interests covering the whole world.

Now that there is a precedent for the Kra Canal plan, with the theory of Sir Young just now. So should the United States also have to consider how to give the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal, and the Strait of Gibraltar a double insurance to ensure that the United States' strategic deployment around the world will not have security risks?

Before he knew it, a map of the world came to Bush Jr.'s mind.

If France and Spain decide to dig a Grand Canal along the border between the two countries, will the strategic location of the Strait of Gibraltar still exist?

If the governments of Syria and Iraq had worked together to dig a canal from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf within their borders, wouldn't the importance of the Suez Canal plummet?

If someone had funded a partnership with the Nicaraguan government to turn the long-envisioned Nicaragua Canal into a reality, would the Panama Canal still be so important to the United States?

Although this is only a strategic idea, Bush Jr. still can't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

Digging canals is not about researching high technology. As long as the funds, equipment, and manpower are sufficient, and the government is determined, it will be able to dig through sooner or later.

You must know that in the era of the excavation of the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, there were no modern excavators, loaders and other large-scale engineering equipment at all, and they basically relied on manual excavation. And can manual excavation be compared with modern machinery and equipment?

If it is supplemented by satellite surveying and mapping to design the most accurate construction route map, is it comparable to manual surveying and mapping in the past?

With this in mind, Bush Jr. came to a conclusion in his mind: modern society. No matter how big the canal project is, no matter how difficult the construction is. As long as there are sufficient funds, a qiē is not a problem!

Suppose that such a developed country with extremely strong economic strength adopts a foreign policy of gold yuan, cooperates with France, Spain, Syria, Iraq, Nicaragua and other countries to successfully dig and operate the Franco-Spanish Canal, the Syrian-Iranian Canal, and the Nicaragua Canal. Coupled with the Kra Canal, which was dug up by the Eastern Union and Thailand, doesn't this put four shackles on the global strategic network chain of the United States and firmly lock the United States on the North American continent?

Thinking of this, Bush Jr. couldn't help but secretly glance his eyes back and forth on the faces of Sir Young and Andropov.

Since Bush Jr. was able to think of such a strategic concept, could it be that with the shrewdness and wisdom of John Young and Andropov, he would not have thought of it? Even these two potential US adversaries have not thought of it now. None of their staff would have this idea?

No, the United States absolutely cannot allow such a situation to occur!

A look of resoluteness flashed in Bush Jr.'s eyes.

Although this look in his eyes was not even half a second, Yang Weiping, who had been silently observing Xiaobu or something, clearly captured the mood fluctuations of the future US president in front of him.

"Dear Yuan Xiansheng, I would like to ask, has the Kra Canal Project considered absorbing foreign funds other than those thought by the Eastern Union and Thailand?"

A man's accent in fluent English broke the brief silence of the banquet scene.

Yang Weiping looked at the source of the sound and saw that the speaker was actually Toshiki Umibe, the Japanese ambassador to the ASEAN Union, and couldn't help but be happy.

For Little Japan, Yang Weiping has been paying close attention to it all these years.

I have to say that Little Japan is really very pragmatic. This nation is absolutely respectful and respectful to countries that are stronger than them.

As early as the period when North Burma was independent and state-building, the Japanese government established diplomatic relations with North Burma at the ambassadorial level, and the two countries exchanged ambassadors. After the reunification of North Burma and the change of the name of the country to the Eastern Union, the Japanese government also changed the name of the Japanese Embassy in North Burma to the Embassy in the Eastern Union as soon as possible.

On this issue, Yasuhiro Nakasonee apparently did not look at the faces of the Americans, but chose to consider what could be best for Japan.

Although with the rise of North Burma in Asia, household appliances, automobiles, motorcycles and other products made in North Myanmar have caused a certain impact on Japan's global market, but the little devil is not discouraged by this, but continues to learn and absorb the scientific and technological content of North Burmese products, and further improve the quality and cost performance of domestic products.

After Yang Weiping was forced to leave China, the protective policy he had formulated to comprehensively resist the impact of Japanese products on China's national industry was gradually turned into an empty article by the new authorities in China.

China, which has just begun reform and opening up, has made certain achievements due to its large land and thin land and large population, but compared with developed countries like Japan, there is still a certain gap.

The proliferation of the idea of capital, property, hierarchy, and freedom has set off a wave of admiration for foreigners in mainland China.

Foreign things are better than those of China, and some people even say that the moon of foreign countries is rounder than that of China.

As a result, Japanese-made color televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, cassette recorders, walkmans, cameras, motorcycles, automobiles, and other imported goods, under the government's propaganda, have all become popular and sought-after goods along the southeast coast of China and in central and northern China.

The Huaxia government's suppression of the Tiangong Group in the past two years has led to the gradual squeezing of products made in northern Burma to the southwestern and northwestern provinces of China.

However, this kind of situation only happened in the Huaxia Continent, which made Yang Weiping still feel extremely unwilling. He can completely control the direction of news and public opinion in Northern Burma, but he has no way to influence the propaganda department in China. It is precisely because of this that he has strictly instructed Tiangongshi to spare no effort to continuously tackle key problems in computer Internet technology in the past few years, and finally succeeded in making the Internet information platform appear in this world early.

Eight years ago, he Sir Yang opened the world's nano era, and now, he wants to lead the world into a new Internet information age!

The successful use of network technology in Hong Kong and Northern Burma has made those countries that have been studying computer technology for a long time covet the high technology mastered by Tiangongshi.

Although Yang Weiping knows in his heart that network technology needs to be widely used in order to produce the greatest benefits. However, Yang Weiping feels that it is time to hold on to it, and it is absolutely impossible to sell this technology as a cabbage price to countries that want to apply network technology to the military field.

And the little devil is undoubtedly one of those smart people who aim for the strategic value of network technology.

Toshiki Umibe has repeatedly submitted formal applications to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Burma, hoping to obtain the transfer and use rights of a complete set of Internet information transmission technology patents. For this reason, the Japanese Government did not hesitate to offer a high price of $1 billion.

It's just that Yang Weiping didn't nod, and of course Yang Jiasheng didn't dare to make his own decisions.

Now, the little devil's keen economic mind is back on the Kra Canal. In this regard, Yang Weiping is naturally happy to see it.

At this time, Toshiki Umibe proposed that the Japanese government should fund and participate in the Kra Canal plan, so that Yang Weiping had a comfortable feeling that someone would send a pillow when he was sleepy.

"Ahem!" Yang Weiping coughed lightly, cleared his throat, looked at the little Japanese ambassador to the ASEAN Union with a smile, and said slowly: "All the funds for the Kra Canal project will be fully borne by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which will be established soon. The newly established AIIB not only welcomes governments around the world to actively invest in shares, but also welcomes private capital investment and participation. (To be continued......)
