"No matter what the cost of this project, it will be promoted!" Committee member Han Jinshan frowned and said in a firm tone, "From the perspective of China's energy security, three-quarters of China's energy transportation routes, or more than 70 percent, of oil imports pass through the Strait of Malacca, which is a major bottleneck. ”

Committee member Han's words are the same tone as what Liu Feng said when he was in Vietnam. Any politician with strategic foresight will see that putting his lifeline into the hands of others is really painful!

China's economic rise is destined to become the world's largest energy consumer, which is not transferred by personal will, which is an inevitable result. What percentage of the population of China is Japan? How much energy do they consume in a year?

This is a simple elementary school math problem, where the population base is located, and the consumption of any item is not something that can be controlled casually. This is also the reason why Huaxia has become the world's first consumer market, with a population base, coupled with a leap forward in economic development, energy is destined to become a bottleneck in China's development!

The position of the committee member Han Jinshan made him know more and think more far-reaching: "The Strait of Malacca is a long and narrow strait, which has been infested by pirates for a long time, and because it is a shoal, it is also relatively prone to problems.

Coupled with the control of other forces, if something goes wrong, it could have a major impact on us, and it is important to open the oil corridor on land as soon as possible. The construction of oil pipelines between China and Central Asia and between China and Russia is of significance in this regard. ”

The high-level members of the visiting delegation gathered together to carry out urgent consultations on the problems they faced, and the instructions from China were very clear, and they should open this onshore China-Myanmar oil pipeline at any cost! At this time, the China-Myanmar oil pipeline is no longer a blueprint, but a key link in the strategic layout of Huaxia Energy!

"Of course, the China-Myanmar oil pipeline has a more unique significance," Han Jinshan said in a deep voice, "It can solve some other path problems of oil imports from the Middle East and Africa, bypassing the Strait of Malacca, and directly transporting it from Myanmar ports to southwest China through pipelines."

From the perspective of China's domestic energy market, it is also very meaningful to the domestic energy layout, which can solve the supply of oil in the southwest, and there is no need to transport oil ashore from coastal ports and then transport it to the southwest, which is a great impetus for the development of the southwest. ”

Most of the people present were senior government officials from the southwest, and of course they were most concerned about the economic development of the region. Everyone has urgent expectations for this China-Myanmar oil pipeline, which will affect the economic development of the next few decades, but the situation is not good!

"Modern and modern history has repeatedly shown that the western region, including the southwest and northwest, has always been China's strategic rear and the third line on which the economically developed areas of the southeast coast rely on."

Lan Yuanyu took over the words of member Han Jinshan, who is now an official of the Central Policy Research Office, and has a clearer understanding of state-level policies: "The oil and gas import sources in the northeast and northwest are Russia and the Central Asian countries of the SCO member states, and the oil and gas import routes in the southwest are many South Asian countries bordering the Indian Ocean.

The start of construction of the China-Myanmar oil pipeline is also an important link in China's big chess game of going south to the Indian Ocean. From a purely economic point of view, a single supplier is also an extremely embarrassing situation, and this embarrassment must be broken! ”

In fact, everyone present knew very well what the China-Burma oil pipeline meant to Huaxia, and everyone once again looked at Liu Feng, Chen Siyu was sure that Professor Liu would be able to solve this problem: "Professor Liu, what should we do about the current situation?" ”

"It's very simple, avoid political factors, and solve economic problems economically!" Liu Feng said calmly, "Americans not only invest in stable areas, but also dare to invest in those turbulent areas, and often obtain extraordinary benefits!" ”

Han Jinshan sat up straight: "How do you say this?" ”

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit!" Liu Feng said firmly, "Any organization or individual, as long as they are not crazy, their behavior is nothing more than a demand for interests!" We divide and dissolve, divide and conquer, and break through! Of course, the more objects you face, the greater the changes will be, after all, people's desires are endless!

In order to prevent some people from going back on their word, the China-Myanmar oil pipeline employs an international security group to maintain daily law and order, and must not be coveted by those who are greedy! This is something that no organization or individual in Myanmar can do, and it is inconvenient for the Chinese military to do it, and only the international security group is the safest way. ”

The plenipotentiary ambassador to Southeast Asia, Myanmar and other countries hesitated, but still shook his head: "This is not a good way, what kind of international security group can compete with the military or the *** army?" ”

"Of course it's the Americans or the Russian security clique!" Liu Feng suddenly smiled, "The international police positioning of the Americans, Russia's interventionism is still very beneficial, at the very least, no one dares to move between the Americans and Russian companies, especially the security company, and Southeast Asia is absolutely safe!" ”

Han Jinshan frowned, this must be consulted in the country, although his level is high enough, this kind of thing still can't be decided. Then everyone knew that there were some things that still had to be communicated with the above, so everyone went back to their rooms.

Three days later, the delegation went to Thailand, where the China-Myanmar oil pipeline will be negotiated, and Huaxia is bound to win the project! According to the news that Lan Yuanyu learned from China, Liu Feng's proposal was not vetoed, and the matter of hiring an international security group to maintain daily law and order was being evaluated!

Thailand is a country of great contradictions, with Buddhism as the state religion, with more than 90 percent of the population practicing Buddhism, Malays in the south practicing Islam, and a few others practicing Christianity, Hinduism and Catholicism.

It stands to reason that this should be a country with few desires, a country with strict discipline, but in fact, it has the largest alternative group of shemales in the world, and there is a saying that "if you don't look at shemales, you don't go to Thailand", but Liu Feng They really didn't look at this.

This beautiful country, known as the "White Elephant Kingdom", has unique cultural traditions and ethnic customs, such as a variety of festivals, the freshman dialect of the water people, the world-famous classical dance and folk dance, the interesting pantomime and Luo Kun opera, and the unique Muay Thai boxing, cockfighting, fish play, etc., all of which make people "happy".

Filled with golden, high-cornered temples and pagodas, intricate Buddha statues, stone carvings and paintings, these monuments in the shade of long-green coconut groves add infinite color to Thailand's enchanting tropical scenery.

What Liu Feng remembered the most was the diet and Muay Thai performances, Thai food was sour and spicy, appetizing, and used a lot of condiments and natural spices in it. Tom Yum (hot and sour seafood soup), tender chicken soup with coconut milk, fish cake curry, chicken curry with green curry, mango fragrant rice, etc.

Thai cuisine is mainly based on seafood, fruits, and vegetables. Thai meals are based on a large bowl of rice, accompanied by one or two curries, a fish, a soup, and a salad.

After-dinner snacks are usually seasonal fruits or desserts made with flour, eggs, coconut milk and palm sugar. Due to its unique advantages, Thai cuisine is brightly coloured, red and green, and the eyes are excellent, whether it is the bright freshness of fresh vegetables and fruits, or the fleshy texture of many seafood such as squid and fish.

Muay Thai is considered the most intense fighting in the world. Not only can he attack his opponent with his punches but also with his feet, elbows and knees, but he can also jump high and do somersaults and twists, using momentum to knock opponents to the ground with his feet or knees, so Thai boxing is more intense than ordinary international boxing.

While watching the performance, Xu Jia quietly asked, "Old pimple, if you fight against a Muay Thai fighter, what are the chances of winning?" ”

Liu Fengbai glanced at this guy whose curiosity was comparable to that of a woman: "You still want to think about what benefits you can get from here this time and go back!" ”

The Thai side once again mentioned the Kra Isthmus Canal project, hoping that Huaxia and the Japanese would join hands to dig this canal, which has been brewing for hundreds of years. Han Jinshan is very comfortable with this nonsense, which is the diplomatic ability that a mature politician must have.

Here, the delegation pledged to support Thailand's economic recovery with a portion of the government's low-interest credit, while signing a package of agreements on tourism, mineral imports, and imports of agricultural and aquatic products. Since then, several countries have also signed some relevant agreements, in short, it was a successful visit, and it was very fruitful!

Before returning to China, Liu Feng received news that the Huaxia special negotiation team had gone to Myanmar to conduct in-depth consultations on the operation of the China-Myanmar oil pipeline and the hiring of an international security group to maintain the normal operation of the project.

The most depressed person on this visit was undoubtedly Wang Qing, the neglected governor of Guijiang Province, who learned all about the visit group through his own channels, and hated Liu even more! He has never reflected on whether he is a little too utilitarian in dealing with someone Liu!

On Friday, February 4, 2000, the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve, this was the second time that all the beauties came to Zhujiang City for the New Year, and Liu Feng's parents were also invited here. When those Chinese businessmen came to write couplets, they learned that the old man and the old lady were coming, and soon the Liu Mansion was full of gifts.

These gifts were all given to the two old men, Liu Feng couldn't refuse at all, and the old man sighed: "Old pimple, it seems that it is me and your mother who are causing you trouble." ”

Hao Ya smiled: "Dad, Mom, you two elders can rest assured, it's a big deal, we will return the gift twice." ”

Although he was accustomed to the group of beauties around his son in the Gale Club, the appearance of all beauties at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table at the same time still made the second elder a little unbelievable. The old man was not less frightened behind his back, for fear that his son would cause trouble if he was so indecent.

It's been a few years, and instead of being affected by the style problem, this kid is getting bigger and bigger! The old man took the tea that he paid homage to his sister: "Old pimple, you are not afraid of being so ridiculous—"
