Chapter 513: Political Ambitions
The prime minister was angry with Lu Yang, pointed at him and said, "I'll leave it to you, you really dare to think about it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The list has been taken by you, do other companies drink the northwest wind? ā
Not only the prime minister, but even Huo Sheng next to him was shocked by Lu Yang.
"Just kidding, just kidding......" Lu Yang smiled, he also knew that his proposal just now was not realistic at all, there are still many domestic companies pointing to those orders to eat, and they are all state-owned enterprises, the central government's own son, Penglai Energy Company can compete with them fairly It is very good, and there is no need to think about the rest.
"But Prime Minister, no matter what point of view, our technology and products are the best, and they are also the most suitable for China." Lu Yang added.
"You, you ......" The prime minister shook his head helplessly, he didn't know that Penglai Energy Company's technology was more advanced and more secure? The third-generation nuclear power technology currently used in China is still imported from the United States, and patent fees must be paid to the people of the United States, while the technology of Penglai Energy Company is 100% domestic.
It's just that this kind of thing can't be counted not only as economic accounts, but also as political accounts. China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) and China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGNPC) are large state-owned enterprises that feed many people and are also responsible for technological research, and the state must support them. In contrast, Penglai Energy is also Chinese, but the state has no control.
"Perhaps, you can cooperate with domestic companies." The Prime Minister proposed.
Lu Yang looked at the prime minister with a smile: "Prime Minister, you mean that we should open up our technology to domestic enterprises, right?" ā
"It's not openness, it's technical cooperation. Although Penglai Energy's technology is more advanced, domestic nuclear power companies also have merit, learning from each other, concentrating resources on developing more advanced nuclear power technology, and competing with Western countries. The Prime Minister encouraged.
Lu Yang and Huo Sheng glanced at each other, smiled and said nothing. Huo Sheng stepped forward and said: "Prime Minister, in the short term, we have no plans for technology licensing, and when we have this technology, we will definitely give priority to cooperating with domestic enterprises." ā
The prime minister was not reluctant to see this, he and Lu Yang have been dealing with each other for many years, and the two sides have basically formed a tacit understanding. On many issues, Lu Yang is willing to cooperate with the country, but when Lu Yang refuses, the country will stop in moderation, and both sides are careful to maintain relations.
"Lu Yang, how are your negotiations on the Kra Canal?" After visiting the fusion power station, the prime minister asked about the canal.
At the mention of this, Lu Yang was a little annoyed.
"After more than two months of talks, the Thai side is asking too high." Lu Yang said.
"This canal has been considered in China for many years, and the risks are indeed too great, Thailand's politics itself is unstable, and the excavation of the canal is a long-term project, and there are too many uncontrollable factors." The prime minister said with some disappointment.
Lu Yang heard it, and the country hoped that he would make this matter happen, anyway, the risks were borne by Penglai Island, and the benefits were all from Huaxia.
For this canal, Lu Yang does not intend to give up easily.
"Prime Minister, I am still quite sure about the opening of the Kra Canal." Lu Yang said.
The prime minister wondered: "Will the Thai side give in?" Or are you going to give in? ā
"Of course I won't budge, on the Thai side, their conditions don't matter!" Lu Yang said softly.
The prime minister's sense of smell is so keen, as soon as he heard Lu Yang say this, he thought of something, and his face changed at the moment: "Lu Yang, there are some things that Huaxia must not do, you have to understand!" ā
The two whispered, and the others distanced themselves from them with interest, and they couldn't hear what they were discussing.
"I think you can try, now should be the time for Huaxia to do something." Lu Yang insisted.
"What the hell are you going to do?"
"As you can imagine, if the current Thai government doesn't agree, we can give him another one, or just let southern Thailand stand on its own, and then the Kra Canal will fall into my hands." Lu Yang said coldly.
Lu Yang's patience with the Pakistani government is dwindling, and after the Hobbio War, Lu Yang has stronger ambitions. Playing Somalia, Lu Yang just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, because he didn't get any substantial benefits. However, after the war, Penglai Island's status in the international community was obviously different, and after seeing Penglai Island's mecha team, aerospace fighters, and energy weapons, the United States no longer dared to threaten him by force.
For the first time, his opponent respected his strength, and Lu Yang's heart was a little inflated. Lu Yang felt that with his current strength, he could do more.
When the prime minister saw Lu Yang's appearance, he was very worried, and he faintly felt that Lu Yang had changed.
It's easy to understand this kind of thing, Lu Yang is only 34 years old this year, before the age of 30, he was famous for his wealth, and he acted like a low-key rich man, a tech house, but after Penglai Island was established, Lu Yang's identity and status began to change. Now, Lu Yang not only has huge wealth in his hands, but also controls a powerful military force, for a 34-year-old person, with these, how can he not have ambition?
"Is this change good or bad?" The prime minister is worried.
Lu Yang has indeed changed, he was not interested in political things at all before, but now he has to contact and learn. In the past, Lu Yang just wanted to make money quietly, but now he also has his own political demands. Lu Yang was in the prime of life, so he was naturally unwilling to live in seclusion on Penglai Island and wanted to do something. The point is, he has the ability to do those things.
Of course, at the moment, Lu Yang does not have a very clear idea, and the reason why he has this idea for Thailand is only because the other party's conditions are too excessive in the negotiation of the Kra Canal.
"Prime Minister, I think the central government can give good consideration to my proposal. This plan is very feasible, and if successful, we can take control of the Kra Canal, both economically and strategically, and the benefits are very high. Lu Yang persuaded, "Once the Kra Canal is opened, it will greatly enhance the strength of Thailand, Thailand itself is a big country in Southeast Asia, and it is very unfavorable for China to control Southeast Asia if they become strong, if the south is divided, it is equivalent to cutting off one of Thailand's hands......
"Lu Yang!" The prime minister interrupted him, "This matter is very important, you should calm down first!" ā
What the prime minister is most afraid of is that Lu Yang will act on an impulse, and Huaxia will definitely be very passive at that time.
"Well, I think the pros outweigh the disadvantages."
"We have to consider the international impact, if we take action against Thailand, everyone in the surrounding countries will be in danger, and then the strategic environment in China will deteriorate greatly." said the Prime Minister.
"Prime Minister, I think it's the opposite, we did it, and it only improved the strategic environment in China. The countries surrounding China are already wary of China, even hostile, and if we don't do anything, they won't say anything good about us. With its vast size and population, China should play the role of Asia's leader in its own right. And as a leader, who will be convinced if he does not show great strength? ā
Lu Yang argued: "If we take Thailand by thunder, even if other countries oppose it, what can we do? We can take Thailand, and we can also take other countries, when the time comes, these countries will only fear and surrender, instead of swaying between Huaxia and Mi like now, because they know that once Huaxia makes up their minds, Mi will not be able to shelter them! ā
The prime minister took a deep look at Lu Yang, it was the first time he heard Lu Yang's thoughts in this regard, although some were still immature, but it undoubtedly exposed Lu Yang's political ambitions.
"What will happen after you take the Kra Canal?" The Prime Minister said tentatively.
"The next step, of course, is to take control of East and Southeast Asia!" Lu Yang didn't notice the prime minister's words, "You look at the strategic environment of the United States, the north and the south are very stable, and if China wants to compete with them, it must also clean up the hidden dangers around it." I think we should first solve the problems of Southeast Asia and East Asia, and then consider the problems of Russia and Central Asia......"
"Okay, these issues will be discussed in the Central Committee." The prime minister said lightly, "Lu Yang, you didn't tell anyone else what you thought, did you?" ā
"Not yet, and I've only recently thought about it."
"That's good, I hope that before the central government has a decision, you don't act, so as not to let Huaxia fall into passivity." The prime minister stared at Lu Yang, his gaze was very sharp.
Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, and he would also avoid the prime minister's gaze.
"I try." Lu Yang also calmed down.
Huo Sheng was a little strange, he seemed to hear the quarrel between Lu Yang and the prime minister. Not only him, but also the people behind him saw that something was wrong.
"What the hell is going on? Could it be that the boss quarreled with the prime minister because of the domestic order? Huo Sheng guessed.
After sending off the prime minister, Huo Sheng asked: "Boss, didn't the prime minister say that he would inspect Penglai Island for two days and leave tomorrow, why did he leave suddenly?" ā
Lu Yang's face was not very good-looking, and it was inconvenient to explain to Huo Sheng, so he said, "He has something to do temporarily." ā
Huo Sheng felt that the reason was definitely not as simple as Lu Yang said, but it was not easy to ask again.
"Now that nuclear fusion technology has become a piece of sweetness, there must be a lot of people who have the idea of it, Lao Huo, you have to pay attention." Lu Yang said to Huo Sheng.
Huo Sheng nodded in understanding.
In the evening, Lu Yang called Feng Hai and talked to him about the construction of the Pacific Theater.
"Brother Hai, everything on Penglai Island has been on track, and my financial situation is much better, do you think we are going to expand the army?" Lu Yang asked.
Feng Hai was very surprised, Penglai Island has been expanding its army last year, and now the number of troops has reached 20,000, and the police also have 5,000.
"Boss, is there a new mission?" Feng Hai asked.
Lu Yang said: "It's not true, I just think that the name of our Pacific Theater is not worthy of its name." ā
"In the current situation, it shouldn't be needed." Feng Hai thought for a while and said, "We have a mecha team, a fleet that has always been strong, and now we have a new air force, this force, even if the Pacific Fleet of the Mi Army attacks, we are not afraid, it is more than enough to protect ourselves!"
