Chapter 619: The Western World is Shocked
After the domestic affairs were arranged, Alfredo began his visit to Penglai Island. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoOriginally, this visit attracted much attention because of Blanquilla Island, but now with the background of the military coup and the confrontation with the United States, the outside world is even more interested in this visit.
"Alfredo seeks rescue from Penglai Island!" The Wall Street Journal commented.
Perhaps, such a statement is also true, after the stalemate with the United States, Venezuela needs a friend to support itself, looking at the world, this role is none other than China. Only Huaxia has this strength and this motivation. Other countries, either lack strength, such as Russia, have enough military strength, but economically, they are not as good as Venezuela; Either there is no motive, such as European countries, most of which are friends of the United States.
Alfredo knew very well that even without the influence of the military coup, as long as he sold Blanquilla Island to China and introduced Huaxia's military power into the Atlantic, the relationship between Venezuela and the United States would still fall out, which was doomed.
For this visit, Penglai Island gave a high-standard reception, Lu Yang personally greeted him with his family, and the mecha team accompanied him throughout the process, a treatment that only the heads of state of China and Russia had enjoyed before.
After visiting Penglai Island, Alfredo was even more determined to get closer to China. Penglai Island fantastic technology and highly developed economy, harmonious social relations...... All of them shocked and aspired Alfredo.
Lu Yang also took him to visit the two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers under construction at the Penglai Shipyard, which were named Treading Waves and Zhenhai respectively, both of which were 100,000-ton behemoths, although they had not yet been built, but they were enough to deterrent.
"Mr. President, this is our first and second aircraft carrier on Penglai Island, capable of carrying 80 White Crane fighters, using more advanced electromagnetic catapult technology than the Chinese people...... Yuan Yi, director of Penglai Shipyard, told Alfredo.
"It's really amazing, I see that you don't have many workers here, but there are robots everywhere, are these two aircraft carriers made by robots?" Alfredo asked.
Lu Yang said with a smile: "Mr. President has observed very carefully, yes, although Penglai Shipyard is already the largest shipyard in the world, there are not many workers, only more than 2,000 people, and the number of industrial robots has reached 3,800." Taking the two aircraft carriers as an example, their unmanned production degree is more than 90%. ”
"Incredible, ......incredible," Alfredo said repeatedly, "I've been to the United States, I've been to Germany, and I've been to Fuso, but I've never seen such advanced robot production." ”
"In terms of intelligent robot technology, we are more than 50 years ahead of countries such as Mi, Germany, and Fuso!" Yuan Yi said proudly, "It took less than half a year from the design to the manufacture of these two aircraft carriers, and we have completed 80% of the work, which is because we have to take into account other orders." If desired, the Penglai shipyard will be able to build two 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in 5 months! ”
Alfredo and his entourage were completely stunned, they had previously known how advanced the technology of Penglai Island was, but today they had a clear understanding. Five months and the simultaneous completion of two 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, such a crazy thing that Alfredo would not have believed if someone had told him that before.
How long did it take for the United States to build the first Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier? Construction began in 2005 and was officially launched in 2013, eight years later!
However, these industrial robots in front of him made Alfredo have to believe Yuan Yi's words.
"In terms of industrial technology and production capacity, rice and Penglai Island are not at the same level." Alfredo couldn't help but say secretly.
After visiting the aircraft carrier, Lu Yang took them to visit the construction of the Royal Forest Army-class destroyer and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and Alfredo understood Lu Yang's opening of these highly classified military facilities to Venezuela.
"This is the main missile destroyer of the next generation of Penglai Island, the Royal Forest Army-class destroyer, and the three ships in front of us will be ready to be launched this month, and after testing, they can be put into service." Yuan Yi introduced, "The Royal Forest Army-class destroyer inherits the design of the Guardian-class destroyer, but the combat distance is larger, the combat effectiveness is stronger, and the strike range is wider, and it is a well-deserved first warship!" ”
After visiting the Penglai Shipyard, Alfredo's attitude towards Lu Yang unconsciously changed. He originally thought that Penglai Island was only economically and technologically strong, but he didn't expect their military strength to be so strong.
"When the construction of the military port on Blanquilla Island is completed, I intend to deploy an aircraft carrier group there." Lu Yang said to Alfredo.
Alfredo was overjoyed, and Lu Yang's words undoubtedly showed his attitude.
"We will fully support the construction of Blanquilla Island!" Alfredo said.
Lu Yang smiled slightly: "After the agreement is announced, the construction team of Penglai Island will set off immediately." We have already looked at the fact that the southern part of Blanquilla Island is a good place to build a deep-water port. In parallel with the construction in the south, I plan to reclaim land in the north of the island and expand its area to 200 square kilometers. ”
Alfredo thought about it for a moment: "Now that the island has been given to you, how to build and plan it is your business. It means that Lu Yang's plan is acquiesced.
The meeting between Lu Yang and Alfredo went very smoothly, and three days later, the two attended a press conference together to announce the results of the cooperation. Venezuela donated Blanquilla Island to Luyang (not to the Chinese government), while Luyang repaid more than $40 billion of China's debts on behalf of Venezuela, and at the same time loaned 100 billion yuan to Venezuela interest-free for its economic construction.
As soon as this agreement came out, the whole world was boiling. Although everyone has expected the transfer of Blanquilla Island, when this moment comes, there are still many people who can't accept it.
"China lays out the Caribbean Sea and wants to compete with the people of the United States for Atlantic sea power!" USA Today
"The first time the Chinese Navy has entered the Atlantic!" Le Monde
"Huaxia has begun to expand globally, and Omi should be vigilant and jointly respond!" German Bild
"Venezuela and China are allied, where will Latin America go?" The Times
Western media reports on this matter have deliberately ignored the fact that the Venezuelan government reached an agreement with Lu Yang, not China. In Western reports, Lu Yang was the vanguard of China's expansion, and this was obviously a deliberate distortion of the facts. (To be continued.) )
