Chapter 693 Oil and Gas Reservoirs in the South China Sea

The so-called nine-dash line is a name for China's rights and interests in the South China Sea. Judging from the map, it is the "U" shaped border.

Nowadays, some people talk about the sovereignty of a place on the basis of geographical proximity, which is actually a wrong statement. For example, the UK's Channel Islands are located off the coast of France, less than 12 nautical miles as recently as possible; Some of the French islands are located off the coast of Canada across the Atlantic Ocean, and some are actually near island nations in the Pacific Ocean; Greece, which is even more bullish, directly drew the national border to the coast of Turkey, less than 10 nautical miles from the Turkish coastline!

The reason for this situation is very simple, because in the past, these sites belonged to other people. Now the nine-dash line is drawn like this, and the principle is the same.

As early as the Han Dynasty, the entire South China Sea was our Chinese territory, and it has a history of more than 2,000 years. Not to mention the South China Sea, even those streams. The hooligan country used to serve us Huaxia as the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and even that Annan was simply a vassal state of China in the past.

In other words, at that time we were masters, they were slaves!

It's good now that these former minions, instigated by some countries with bad intentions, actually pointed fingers at their masters, and even dared to encroach on their masters' territory. This is worth it, this was before, it was rebellion!

We can be generous and ignore other things, but this kind of thing about the territory must not be retreated.

There is a more critical problem, now that a huge amount of oil and gas resources have been discovered in the South China Sea, those minions have even put their dog's paws into the South China Sea, and are stealing these precious oil and gas resources from their masters' territory at a rate of 60 million tons per year.

Huaxia is generous and well-cultivated. But Tang Feng admitted that he didn't have that belly. Your sister and sister, Lao Tzu didn't have that ability back then, but now that Lao Tzu has it, Lao Tzu has to chop off the dog paws of you minions!

At present, the disputes in the South China Sea are mainly focused on oil and gas resources, because with the discovery of a large number of oil and gas resources in the South China Sea, especially those islands and reefs in the Nansha Islands. It has become a veritable fragrant bait.

The adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1982 gave another dimension to the value of islands in the South China Sea - the principle of "land to sea" and the exclusive economic zone with a radius of 200 nautical miles made owning islands equivalent to owning 430,000 square kilometers of sea area.

Sovereign states have the right to explore, exploit, utilize and exploit all resources in the relevant sea areas, from the seabed subsoil to the airspace above the waters. As a result, the maritime exclusive economic zone has given some slave countries around the South China Sea a reverie about vitality and development, resulting in friction between these slaves and China on maritime demarcation, the ownership of islands and reefs, resource exploitation, and fisheries, which have been escalating in recent years.

Tang Feng has nothing to do with the demarcation of maritime boundaries and the friction in fisheries, but there are things about oil and gas resources. Tang Feng has the ability to make these minions steal chickens and rice.

How rich are the oil and gas resources in the South China Sea? It can only be said that it is too rich!

At present, there are more than 10 known major oil-bearing basins on the continental shelf of the South China Sea, covering an area of about 852,400 square kilometers, accounting for almost half of the total area of the continental shelf of the South China Sea. It has been proven that there are more than 200 oil and gas structures and 180 oil and gas fields in the South China Sea.

According to the most optimistic estimates, the total potential oil reserves in the South China Sea could be about 55 billion tons, and more than 20 trillion cubic meters of natural gas. The remaining economic recoverable reserves of oil and natural gas are only 2.4 trillion cubic meters.

"Second Persian Gulf". This nickname is not given in vain, and the current South China Sea is the second Persian Gulf on the planet.

It is precisely because the South China Sea has such abundant oil and gas resources that those slave states can't help but put their hands into the South China Sea.

Countries such as Annam, Malay and Sulu have accelerated the pace of offshore oil and gas development, and are continuing to advance from their offshore waters along the continental shelf to the deep sea of the South China Sea. And the world's major oil companies have already fought for their own turf, including the nine slave states around the South China Sea. 1,380 oil wells have been drilled in the South China Sea, and up to 60 million tons of crude oil have been stolen from the South China Sea in a year!

This matter, my aunt can bear it, but my uncle can't bear it!

Although the Huaxia government has been exercising restraint in relevant aspects, Tang Feng does not intend to exercise restraint!

Tang Feng has always believed in a tooth for a tooth. Repay grievances directly! In the past, he didn't have that ability, so he could only complain, but now that the star cores have become complete, it is simply easy for Tang Feng to engage those minions.

Although Tang Feng now has a U.S. passport, in his bones, Tang Feng does not regard himself as a foreigner. And as a Chinese person who has the ability to change the current status quo, Tang Feng really doesn't want to endure it anymore.

Aren't you always stirring up trouble in Nansha and Huangyan now? Isn't the reason you want to stir up trouble is to compete for oil and gas resources there? Okay, Lao Tzu let you not find fault!

Lao Tzu moved all the oil and gas resources over there to the undisputed seas, and see what else you can do!

This time in the South China Sea, it is naturally a top priority to make the star core a complete body, but it is also Tang's main purpose to empty the oil and gas resources over there.

What Tang Feng has to do now is to thoroughly find out the location of each oil and gas reservoir, and then choose a suitable location, and move all these oil and gas reservoirs in one go, completely breaking the thoughts of those slave countries, and letting the investment of those slave countries all go down the drain!

Ya Ting, you ate Lao Tzu, drank Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can't make you vomit it again, but Lao Tzu won't let you eat it in the future, don't let you drink it, but Lao Tzu has the ability and means.

Unbelief? If you don't believe me, we'll see!

Is it true that Lao Tzu's complete body star core is fooling around? This time, Lao Tzu not only had to move the oil and gas resources within the nine-dash line, but also had to get all the oil and gas resources outside the nine-dash line. Since you don't spit it out, then Lao Tzu will take the initiative to collect some interest.

Thinking of doing it, early the next morning, Tang Feng started the yacht and began to head all the way south, heading straight for the Nansha Islands.

Tang Feng's location is still more than 1,000 kilometers away from the southernmost Zengmu Dark Sands, and the fourth-level complete star core has a survey radius of about 631 kilometers, and the east and west ends of the South China Sea are already completely within the survey radius of the star core, but in order to find out the special resources in the southernmost sea area with the richest oil and gas resources, Tang Feng must reach the Nansha Islands.

In view of the fact that the two major islands of the Nansha Islands are currently not controlled by China, Taiping Island, the largest island in the Nansha Islands, is now controlled by Taiwan Island, and the second largest island, Thitu Island, is actually occupied by the Sulu State, Tang Feng has no choice but to go to Fiery Cross Reef, another island and reef controlled by China.

This time, Tang's destination is Fiery Cross Reef in Nansha! (To be continued.) )
