Chapter 528: The Canal

As the saying goes, no matter how the world situation develops in the future, it will be difficult for the Salween Republic to have contradictions or disputes with these two South American countries. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, for Brazil and Argentina, Long Zheng is very concerned about the two countries, and has always been committed to maintaining diplomatic relations with the two countries. No, there is an intention to sell backward ships, including the USS Virat, to Argentina.

After talking about conscription and aircraft carriers, Long Zheng quickly announced the dissolution of the meeting and quickly left the General Headquarters of the Armed Forces. An hour later, in the conference room of the central government of the Republic of Salween, Long Zheng and the main senior officials of the government gathered together for another personal meeting today.

"The President, the territorial dispute between Indonesia and the Republic of Aceh over the island of Weh has reached an impasse. Because the military alliance of the six countries has been dissolved, although Indonesia is constrained by the provisions of the armistice agreement and does not dare to send troops and warships to Sumatra into the Indian Ocean, 2,000 Indonesian soldiers have already entered the island of Weh disguised as civilians by borrowing merchant ships, forming a tense confrontation situation with the garrison of the Republic of Aceh. "The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Salween is reporting to Long Zheng on the details of the dispute over the island of We.

"As a new country, the military strength of the Republic of Aceh is very weak, and all the soldiers together are not 1,000 people, and in the face of Indonesian pressure, the Republic of Aceh has sent a request for help to several countries, including our Salween. Because of the previous cooperative relationship with the Republic of Aceh and the hostile relationship with India, India has sent a thousand troops to the island of We. Looking at the people, the foreign minister continued: "Now, both India and Aceh have extended an invitation to Salwyn to rebuild a six-nation military alliance to jointly deal with Indonesia. ”

"The island of Weh has been part of Aceh since ancient times, and Indonesia has made the same mistake of referring to deer as horses. As soon as we saw the dissolution of our six-nation military alliance, we immediately wanted to invade the territory of other countries, and even set our sights on the weak Republic of Aceh. At this point, the vice president was furious.

"Bullying the weak and fearing the hard, Indonesia has always been like this." After a pause, Long Zheng suppressed everyone's voices: "However, under the banner of civil demands in Indonesia, we Salwyn must not get involved in the dispute over the island of We." In the past year, our trade with Indonesia has grown by leaps and bounds, and within five years, Indonesia will surpass Thailand to become our largest trading partner in Southeast Asia. Therefore, as long as Indonesia abides by the terms of the armistice agreement, Salwyn will never stand against Indonesia. As for the demands of India and Aceh, we cannot ignore them. ”

Weighing the pros and cons, Long Zheng continued: "In this way, the Rock Charity Fund will come forward and give 50 million US dollars in aid to the Republic of Aceh for humanitarian relief to temporarily stabilize India and Aceh." ”

Looking at everyone, Long Zheng said solemnly: "With the construction of the Kra Isthmus Canal, a golden route starting from the Persian Gulf, passing through the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, the Shidu Strait, and the Andaman Sea, crossing the Kra Isthmus Canal, and entering the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea has surfaced. Ensuring the timely completion of the Kra Isthmus Canal in the coming years is the greatest task of the central government in Salween. In front of everyone, Long Zheng's tone was unquestionable.

"At the beginning of last year (1990), the Panshi Real Estate Company purchased from the central government a vast land area of 5,500 square kilometers in the Gaodong area, and the land located on the Gaodong headland near the mouth of the Baxiang River on the border with Thailand and dozens of small islands in the vicinity have been placed under the Panshi Real Estate Company."

Looking at everyone, Long Zheng did not hide it from everyone: "In the past year or so, Panshi Real Estate Company has spent a huge amount of money to clean up the waterway and explore and plan the vast land of 5,500 square kilometers in the Gaodong area. ”

Motioned to Jenny to distribute the materials that had been made to everyone, and only after everyone had a copy did Long Zheng continue to speak.

"The vast land of 5,500 square kilometers, in addition to the 500 square kilometers of reserved land, and the 2,000 square kilometers plain area, including the coastal islands, will be used to build a new port city, Kra City, drawing on the development experience of New York City. The 3,000 square kilometers of hilly area will be divided into three and three international universities will be established at the same time: King Longzheng University, King Longzheng University of Science and Technology, and King Longzheng Chinese University. ”

"Kra City, King Longzheng University, King Longzheng University of Science and Technology, King Longzheng Chinese University?" Hearing Long Zheng's words, everyone hurriedly opened the materials in their hands and watched them carefully.

Because the planning and construction of Kra City is based on the development experience of New York City, the material first gives a detailed introduction to the situation of New York City.

The world-famous New York City, located on the Atlantic coast of the southeastern state of New York, is the largest city and the largest port in the United States.

Located in the heart of the Greater New York metropolitan area, New York is a world-class international metropolis and the world's largest economic center, with a GDP second only to Tokyo and the second largest in the world. At the end of the twentieth century, New York's property ownership was worth hundreds of billions of dollars, directly influencing the world's finance, media, politics, entertainment, and fashion industries. New York is the most populous city in the United States, a multi-ethnic and diverse city, home to immigrants from 97 countries and territories, and more than 800 languages spoken. As of today, there are about eight million people living in New York City, living on 789 square kilometers of land. The New York metropolitan area has about 20 million people.

New York also exerts a huge influence in terms of business and finance. New York's financial district, led by Lower Manhattan and Wall Street, is known as the world's financial center, and 56 of the world's top 500 companies are headquartered in New York. The New York Stock Exchange is the world's second-largest stock exchange, and it was once the largest exchange with a global market capitalization of more than $10 trillion until 1996, when it was surpassed by the Nasdaq in terms of trading volume. Located in the hub of Broadway's theater district, New York Times Square is known as the "crossroads of the world" and one of the centers of the world's entertainment industry. Manhattan's Chinatown has the highest concentration of Chinese in the Western Hemisphere. The New York subway is one of the most developed rapid transit systems in the world, providing 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week service, and is home to Columbia University, New York University, and Rockefeller University.

"Kra City has set New York City as its goal, not only establishing three international universities, but also building a city-wide subway system, and everyone present could not help but marvel at Long Zheng's earth-shattering ambitions."

Whether it is the Panshi Kingdom, or the Salween Special Economic Zone, the Mawlamyine Special Economic Zone, the Mergui Special Economic Zone, and the Gaodong Special Economic Zone, because of the insufficient population, Longzheng has not built a new subway or established a special university.

The applications of the five major regions to expand the original university or build a new university were all strongly suppressed by Long Zheng. At that time, everyone knew that Long Zheng would soon make a surprising move in this regard. It's just that it's just a surprise, everyone never thought that Long Zheng would set up three international universities in Kra City at the same time, and the subway system covering the entire territory of Kra City also included the three universities.

Covering an area of 1,000 square kilometers, King Yongzheng University is positioned as a private research university and will receive a huge investment of US$30 billion from Yongzheng University, with English as the medium of instruction.

Covering an area of 1,000 kilometers, King Longzheng Chinese University, positioned as a private research university, will receive a huge investment of 30 billion US dollars from Longzheng and use Chinese as the medium of instruction.

Covering an area of 1,000 kilometers, King Longzheng University of Science and Technology is positioned as a private, international, research-oriented university, and will receive a huge investment of 40 billion US dollars from Longzheng, with English as the medium of instruction. King's University of Science and Technology is home to some of the world's leading research facilities and laboratories, and was founded with the mission of promoting scientific and technological research in Saudi Arabia and around the world. King Longjeong University of Science and Technology does not admit undergraduates, but only graduate and doctoral students from all over the world.

The planning and construction of Kra City, King Longzheng University, King Longzheng University of Science and Technology, and King Longzheng Chinese University are not only scientific and reasonable, but also meticulous and extremely detailed, and have won the unanimous support of everyone.

Following the planning and construction of Kra City, everyone followed the discussion of the next topic.

With the construction of the Kra Isthmus Canal as an opportunity, the capital of the Republic of Salween led by the rock enterprises quickly entered the southern region of Thailand, and one after another labor-intensive enterprises controlled by Salween capital sprung up in the southern part of Thailand, but it was limited to the two provinces of Ranong and Chumphon provinces through which the Kra Isthmus Canal passed.

There are 12 municipalities or provinces in the central region of Thailand, including Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan (also known as Samut Prakan), Nakhon Batumi (also known as Nakhon Pathom), Samut Sakhon (also known as Namut Sakhon), Ayutthaya (also known as Ayutthaya), Ang Thong, Lopburi, Sinburi, Chai Na and Saraburi (also known as Saraburi). There are 14 provinces in the southern region of Thailand, including Chumphon, Ranong, Surat Thani (also known as Bandun), Nakhon Sigmarat (also known as Nakhon Thammarat), Phang Nga, Phuket, Krabi, Trang (also known as Kotaung), Satun, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, and Narativa (also known as Tao Gong).

As a valued foreign investment area of Long Zheng, there are a total of 26 provinces or municipalities in the central and southern regions of Thailand, and only two provinces of Ranong and Chumphon are successfully involved in the Kra Isthmus Canal. Even though Long Zheng had a good personal relationship with the King of Thailand and the current Prime Minister Chuan Lap Pai, and had strong support from the two of them, Long Zheng's investment in other parts of central and southern Thailand outside of Ranong and Chumphon provinces was greatly hindered and the situation could not be opened for a long time.

Thailand's current Prime Minister, Chuan Lappai, started in southern Thailand, and the central region of Thailand is the traditional sphere of influence of the Thai military.

The Thai military, which is in serious opposition to the current Prime Minister of Thailand, is worried that Long Zheng's investment will break their inherent power in the local area, so they have set up many obstacles, even if the Thai king is a peacemaker in the middle, they will never allow Long Zheng to invest in the central region of Thailand.

In the face of this helpless situation, Long Zheng first started from the southern region of Thailand, which led to Long Zheng's huge investment in Ranong and Chumphon provinces.

However, outside of Ranong and Chumphon, Long Zheng's investment in other parts of southern Thailand has reached a bottleneck, not because of the obstruction of the Thai military or other high-level Thai forces, but because of fear of the local chaos.

After the establishment of the Republic of Salween, Longzheng joined forces with Thailand and Laos to carry out continuous high-intensity crackdowns on the major drug trafficking forces entrenched in the Golden Triangle region. By now, the major drug traffickers entrenched in the Golden Triangle have either been eliminated or moved elsewhere, and no longer exist.

Among them, at least half of the drug trafficking forces transferred to the outside world have been transferred to the southern part of Thailand, where both the Thai government and the Thai military are extremely weak, and have merged with the local underground forces in southern Thailand, thus causing the situation in southern Thailand to further deteriorate.

From the south to the north, the provinces that had deteriorated in southern Thailand had expanded to Krabi and Nakhon Nakhon Thiam Lak.

Unlike in the Republic of Salween, where Ryuzheng can use heavy ramps and directly send troops to stabilize the situation in chaotic places, in Thailand, once the local situation in which Ryujeong invests deteriorates, the losses are immeasurable for Ryujeong.

Three days later, Ryujeong personally greeted the King of Thailand and Prime Minister Chuan Lipai, who had come to Salween for a state visit. The Kra Isthmus Canal, which is under non-stop construction, is located in the stable provinces of Ranong and Chumphon, so the focus of both parties is not on the Kra Isthmus Canal, but on Long Zheng's investment in southern Thailand.

The chaotic situation in southern Thailand, the influence of the separatist forces is only limited to the three provinces in southern Thailand, and the chaos in other places is all due to the combination of the major drug traffickers and armed forces transferred to the southern region of Thailand and the local underground forces, coupled with the corruption of the government in southern Thailand and the corruption of the military and the central government of Thailand.

The local separatist forces in the three provinces of southern Thailand are so complex that the Thai government can only deal with them slowly, while the underground forces led by drug traffickers in other parts of southern Thailand are different. In order to stabilize the rest of southern Thailand except for the three provinces in southern Thailand, the King of Thailand and Thai Prime Minister Chuan Lipai wanted to bring in Salween armed forces that had no connection with the local underground forces.

In the face of the Thai side's invitation to borrow Salween's armed forces to fight the underground forces led by drug dealers, Long Zheng had no choice.

If you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. As the situation in the Republic of Salween becomes more and more stable, and the armed forces of hundreds of thousands of Salween have no battle to fight and the horses are released to Nanshan, the invitation of the Thai side at this moment is a favorable opportunity for Long Zheng to train his troops, and it is undoubtedly beneficial to both sides to send the elite troops under his command to southern Thailand with the battalion as a unit.
