Chapter 453: Signing of treaties and establishment of diplomatic relations
The Shen Kingdom consists of five small islands, of which the island where the royal palace is located is in the center and is the main island. At present, the expansion has been stopped, because Shen Danqing's family has already moved in. From now on, outsiders will be forbidden to enter the island, even if they are employees of the company, they will not be allowed to go to the island unless they are called for something.
The main island exists only as a political center, equipped with necessary living facilities such as schools, hospitals, supermarkets, etc. There is also a battalion-sized guard force, because the four islands outside have been defended like iron barrels, and it is harmful to have too many troops stationed on the main island.
The four islands outside are still expanding all the time, outwards rather than inwards. The United Nations has expressly defined the 12 nautical miles beyond the continental shelf as the territorial sea of the country. This place is far away from the territory of Indonesia, as long as there is money, the Shen kingdom can expand indefinitely, and its neighboring land and sea will expand accordingly.
In this way, the Shen Kingdom will have a large inland sea in the future. As we all know, the inland sea is calm and is most suitable for tourism and leisure. The open sea is windy and rough, but it is not suitable for sea recreation.
The four outer islands are planned for garrison, tourism, agricultural planting, commerce and other purposes, so as to ensure the safety of Shen Danqing's family to the greatest extent. It's not that Shen Danqing is afraid of death, but that he is related to the long-term prosperity of Changsheng Investment Group.
On the third day, Shen Danqing summoned two ministers, Wang Quanfu and Yin Chuanzhi, to inquire about the island expansion project and agricultural planting respectively.
He learned from Wang Quanfu that after nearly four years of continuous expansion, the entire land area is now almost the size of a county in China. They have formed a set of efficient and orderly steps while reclaiming land and building land.
From Yin Chuanzhi's mouth, Shen Danqing also learned that the idea of using fresh water as an isolation layer proposed a few years ago was very correct, and it successfully prevented the land from returning to brine.
The nutrients in the soil are carried away by the abundant rainwater, but a considerable part of them are precipitated into the ground, making the nutrients in the freshwater isolation layer abundant, which is very suitable for the growth of deep-rooted plants such as trees and fruit trees.
They have also thought of ways to deal with shallow-rooted crops, mainly by planting rice. Rice can store more water, high ridges, artificially prevent rainwater loss, so that the nutrients in the soil are not easy to lose.
As for the vegetables, they had to be grown in greenhouses. It is to add a top to the vegetable field, and the four sides do not need to be closed, and the cost is relatively acceptable.
In general, agricultural cultivation is not bad, and it has fully met the consumption of people on the island, especially fruits, and there is a large surplus, which can be exported to China every year.
Here in the South Pacific, it is not easy to be self-sufficient. You see, neighboring Indonesia and Australia are both barren countries. But the king of the Shen family solved this problem, which has to admit that Shen Danqing is indeed awesome.
He had never been to Indonesia before. But he knew that the reason for the barrenness of the land in the Nanyang countries was that the rain was too abundant. Rainwater dissolves beneficial nutrients in the soil, especially potassium ions and minerals, which are essential for plants. It is no wonder that these beneficial nutrients are drained away with the rain, and the land is not barren.
In addition, the land in the coastal areas of the world is saline-alkali land, which is not suitable for growing crops. The main reason is the evaporation of the brine in the ground, which causes the salinization of the land. Shen Danqing's method effectively prevented the land from returning to halogen, so crops could also be planted here. This is unique in the world, and it is Shen Danqing's original.
……
After the establishment of the Shen Kingdom, the Indonesian government immediately sent people to the Shen Kingdom to negotiate state affairs. The first is the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two parties, which was stipulated in the original contract.
According to the provisions of the contract, the Shen Kingdom is a subsidiary country of the Indonesian government, and the Indonesian government is obliged to assume the national defense and security of the Shen Kingdom, but the Shen Kingdom must also pay a lot of costs. Of course, the main thing is the monetary price, and the Indonesian government sold the island to the money of Shen Danqing and other tyrants.
It doesn't matter to the Shen Kingdom to spend some money, what Changsheng Investment Group has is money. Therefore, the state consultations between the two sides are very harmonious, and it can be said that they take what they need from each other.
When the two sides happily signed various treaties, Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan inadvertently asked Shen Danqing: "Your Majesty, may I ask why your country has stationed such a large number of troops?" Our original contract stipulated that the territorial security of your country would be borne by our country, and I think that you only need a small number of police officers to maintain law and order. This is true for several other island nations, but yours is the only one that is special. ”
"Mr. Foreign Minister, I admit that my country is indeed a bit special. As you should know, I am at odds with Europe and the United States, and I am here to prevent them from carrying out assassination operations against me. A small police force alone will not stop a national-level assassination.
Mr. Foreign Minister, please rest assured that our country will resolutely abide by the Covenant and will be an unwavering ally of your country. No matter now or in the future, our country will not meet your country in arms.
I swear that the development of our military will only help your country and will never harm you.
However, if Europe and the United States do anything to sow discord, we must ask your country to stand on our side, because we are allies after all.
China is a small country and will not seek regional hegemony, but only for self-preservation. I believe that the foreign students also understand this. ......" Shen Danqing explained to Foreign Minister Ha Yan in a half-truthful manner.
Shen Danqing's words have a certain amount of truth, Changsheng Investment Group was sanctioned twice by Europe and the United States, and the whole world knows that Shen Danqing wants to guard against Europe and the United States, and it is understandable. Foreign Minister Hassan also doesn't believe that the Shen Kingdom has the ability to turn the sky upside down, how many people can be fed in a place with a big butt? Tens of thousands of troops, the Indonesian government will not look at it.
But what Foreign Minister Hassan and the Indonesian government don't know is that there is a new term for asymmetric warfare. In modern warfare, the number of people no longer has an absolute advantage. Besides, there are really more people than people, and I am afraid that only India can compete with China in the world, and Indonesia is far behind! Behind the Shen Kingdom, but there are more than a billion Chinese?
Of course, the Shen Kingdom will indeed not invade Indonesia, even when Indonesia and China have a sovereignty dispute in the South China Sea, the Shen Kingdom will not come out. Because, the Indonesian government cannot threaten China, and if there is a dispute, it is only a problem of ringworm.
Only Europe and the United States, especially NATO, led by the United States, are China's worst enemies. It is only when war and conflict break out between China and the United States, Japan and other countries that the Shen Kingdom will declare war. In addition, he will always bow his head to develop the military industry, only hard power is fundamental, and it is very unwise to compete for the strength of his tongue for a while, which is not what Shen Danqing likes.
After all the treaties were signed, Foreign Minister Hassan was basically satisfied, and after Shen Danqing ceremoniously entertained Mr. Foreign Minister and his entourage for lunch, Mr. Foreign Minister took his leave and returned to China.
The matter has basically been successfully completed, and since then, Shen Danqing has devoted himself to military research and development. Although he is far away in the South Seas, with the Lightyear Network, there is no geographical and time barrier.
In a few years, the progress of other military-industrial projects has been almost completed, but it has not been completely completed. The most important thing is to wait for the improvement of the binary satellite system and the two-way data link system, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to wait for the sixth-generation aircraft.
It is not advisable to use rockets for launch, because the double-star satellite network is not one or two, but nearly two hundred, and no matter how rich Shen Danqing is, he will not waste it so much. It is only economical and prudent to use sixth-generation aircraft to deploy satellites, and in any case, sixth-generation aircraft must also be developed, and this is a powerful guarantee for China to win a world war in the future.
In addition, it must be noted that after nearly four years, Changsheng Shipyard located in Daya Bay, Huizhou has already been established.
Therefore, the project team that developed the Navy's submarine has long been moved to the shipyard. Unlike other countries, Changsheng Investment Group has no difficult problems in developing warships, and the difference is only in the scale of time and manpower.
The most difficult things about warships are materials, power, technology, electronic technology, software technology, etc. Changsheng Investment Group does not have these problems, and research and development is naturally a matter of course.
It will take about two or three years for the submarine to be successfully developed, which is basically the same time as the sixth-generation chance.
Of course, Changsheng Shipyard is not only building warships, but also 500,000-ton large cargo ships are also being developed simultaneously. However, after all, the large ship is huge, and it is necessary to take into account the conditions for converting into a giant catamaran aircraft carrier in the future, and the technical difficulty is even greater, and it is estimated that it may take nearly ten years to build the first 500,000-ton giant ship.
The Shen Kingdom is a small country, and it is impossible for it to have a regular aircraft carrier. Otherwise, the United States would not have been the first to agree. But we can't do without aircraft carriers, because aircraft carriers and bombers are offensive military equipment and weapons for fighting others. Even if someone else violates you, you can also attack the enemy's strategic weapon.
Fighters and destroyers are only defensive weapons, and no matter how advanced these two weapons are, they cannot hurt a single hair of the enemy's territory. Of course, Shen Danqing is not a person who only knows how to defend and not attack, so the development of this kind of military-civilian fusion giant catamaran aircraft carrier is the only choice for the Shen Kingdom.
With aircraft carriers, strategic bombers can be developed later, because the J-50 and J-60 are both heavy twin-engine fighters, and their bomb carrying capacity is comparable to that of ordinary tactical bombers. As long as it is close to the enemy country, it can also replace strategic bombers to a certain extent, and the survivability will be stronger, after all, the speed of fighters is much faster than that of bombers. Moreover, it also has the ability to fight enemy fighters, while bombers cannot, and can only be beaten passively by virtue of their thick skin and thick flesh.
This is the current situation of Changsheng Mechanic's military research and development progress, basically no weapons and equipment can be put into practice, and can only passively wait for the dual-star system and the two-way data link system, which is very helpless. At the same time, the Shen kingdom at this time was also very fragile, and it was basically impossible to protect itself, so Shen Danqing could only stay on the island honestly and couldn't move.
