Chapter 46 Quartet Dive 1 First, I asked for a collection recommendation

Dive in all directions, gathered in all directions.

In the new campaign, the Blood Eagle will face one bloody battle after another, and in the battle full of killing and death, no one in the Blood Eagle will take a step back.

They have always maintained the iron-clad Chinese fighting spirit, fighting at the forefront as always, just for the surging pride and ambition in their hearts; For the glory of the Blood Eagle, but also for the glory of the country.

They used their blood-boiling bodies to completely wipe out their enemies before they fell. The Blood Eagles will use their short life to rewrite the landscape of Southeast Asia. And this battle also completely kicked off the first battle before the era, and this battle was the battle of the 'South China Sea Wind and Cloud'

Preface to this volume

Ten days later, Shanghai Pudong Airport.

After the eight members of Xingying and his party joined Shen Jun's troops, who had arrived in advance, they got the information of the mysterious killers in the Lin Mansion in the afternoon of the same day.

According to the information handed over by Shen Jun and Wang Changkong, a reliable source was obtained that the mysterious killers belonged to an organization in Singapore, and the people behind that organization were Japanese.

According to preliminary estimates, the mysterious killers assassinated the mayor of Shanghai because a Singapore-based group was planning to invest in a terminal in Shanghai, and the mayor of Shanghai directly issued an order to refuse them from the tender project.

And the reason why they want to invest in this wharf in Shanghai is to use this wharf as a starting point to gradually control Shanghai's shipping, and again to control Shanghai's economy. The purpose is to contain China's development.

Obviously, the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the Central Committee have long been aware of the importance and urgency of this matter. That's why the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee has taken such a tough stance, and at the same time, it has also made clear China's attitude. No matter which party, which organization; Which country. If it tries to contain China's development, then China will strike back and destroy those organizations and countries that try to contain China's development.

There is no doubt about that. It's also the final bottom line. At the same time, it is also resolutely necessary to maintain.

For this, people on the outside world do not know. They also don't know how important Shanghai is to China's economy.

Just when Xing Ying and others were discussing countermeasures with Wang Changkong and the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, Tian Junxi suddenly visited.

It turned out that after Tian Junxi and Xingying separated in the compound of the military region, they rushed straight to the capital. After returning to the capital, the central leadership held an emergency meeting.

Part of the content of the meeting was about the current situation in Shanghai. The other part is that Tian Junxi has now been promoted to the chairman's special envoy. It has full authority to handle all the external affairs of the state. It can be said that Tian Junxi's meaning represents the chairman's meaning. At the same time, it also represents the meaning of the entire central leadership.

And Tian Junxi didn't talk too much nonsense after entering the Lin-style Building, and went straight to the theme of the situation in Shanghai

The content of the meeting between Tian Junxi and Xingying and the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee is roughly as follows:

Why does Shanghai need a "free trade zone"? How important is the Shanghai Free Trade Zone to Shanghai's economy and China's economy as a whole? How should China's economy move forward in the face of multiple forces? How can we stabilize the momentum of China's economic growth? How can we deal a fatal blow to those countries that try to contain and suppress China's development?

That is the focus of this meeting.

The first question to discuss is who was the assassin of the mayor of Shanghai. Which organization is it affiliated with? Or which country? What is their purpose?

After analyzing and demonstrating the intelligence and clues of all parties, a conclusion was drawn. The mysterious assassin of the mayor of Shanghai was from Singapore, and most of the killers were Japanese, followed by Malays.

And behind the scenes of this mysterious killer is the command of the Japanese. Of course, there are also the shadows of the Americans in it.

Their purpose is already clear. They are trying to gain a foothold in Shanghai and disrupt the operation of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone. In this way, the advantages of the world's largest port in Singapore can be fully brought into play.

As long as the operation of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone is disrupted, China's economic strength will be constrained accordingly. And that's exactly what they are conspiring to do.

If the Shanghai Free Trade Zone completely loses its advantage and replaces it with Singapore's advantage of being the world's largest port, then all China's goods shipped to China from Europe, Africa and even the entire Middle East must pass through the Strait of Malacca, and will also be contained and suppressed by Singapore and other countries.

The reasons for this conspiracy are as follows:

Because it was once the world's largest port, Singapore has an annual throughput of more than 10 million TEUs.

Singapore is the world's largest port because goods from Africa and Europe pass through the Strait of Malacca from Chinese mainland, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, and even the Russian Far East.

On the one hand, the freight rate of large ships is much lower than that of small ships, and on the other hand, because large ships are too large, the destination of the goods on board is often not single, and many ports cannot dock large ships (such as Shanghai before the establishment of the free trade zone).

Therefore, cargo owners often choose to transfer ships in Singapore. It is to use a large ship to transport the cargo to Singapore first, and then transfer it to a small ship in Singapore and transport it to yourself.

This is because Singapore is almost equidistant from the Far East of Chinese mainland, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Russia.

Moreover, it is a necessary place for big ships, and Singapore is also a free trade port. Therefore, even though Chinese mainland futures trading is in Shanghai, the delivery location of the goods is still in Singapore.

Almost all bulk goods listed on the Shanghai Futures Exchange are delivered to Singapore.

Singapore alone delivers more than US$2 trillion in futures annually.

As we all know, the center of logistics must be the center of capital flow, and the center of capital flow must be the center of finance; The financial center will definitely derive the ...... of business center, life center, and service center.

In order to handle their own cargo, banks around the world need to set up branches in Singapore.

Singapore, a country with a population of less than 5 million, has thousands of foreign banks, hundreds of thousands of employees are needed for banks, and many more people are needed for the financial services industry.

This is the fundamental reason why Singapore is developed.

In fact, almost all of China's large and developed cities are ports that were forced to trade after the Opium War.

Before the liberation of Shanghai, it was the financial center and logistics center of the whole of Asia. Later, the ships became bigger and bigger, and the terrain of Shanghai's continental shelf caused large ships to be unable to enter the port, and the planned economy of China and China caused Shanghai to lose its status as a free trade port, so Shanghai slowly lost its status as a logistics center, and then lost its status as an Asian financial center

However, Shanghai's geographical advantages have always existed: Shanghai is not only equidistant from Japan, Japan, South Korea, China, North Korea, Xian, China, Taiwan, the Gulf region, Russia, the Russian Far East, and the Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Macao, and Xiamen regions.

Moreover, it is almost equidistant from Guangzhou and east in the south, and almost equidistant from Tian, Tianjin, Dalian, Lian, Qing, Island, Yan, Taiwan, Ying, and Kou in the north.

More importantly, there are two major rivers (the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal) and railways and highways covering all parts of the country.

Shanghai will not be almost a pure transit port like Singapore, and its own construction will also require a large amount of cargo. Therefore, if Shanghai is used as a transit port, the advantages are far greater than Singapore.

In this way, there will be several thousand more foreign-funded banks and millions of jobs in Shanghai, and Shanghai will have more room for development.

However, all this is limited by two factors: first, there is no deep-water port in Shanghai, and large ships cannot enter; Second, Shanghai is not a duty-free port or a free trade zone, and foreign goods cannot or are inconvenient to transit in Shanghai.

At the end of the last century, Shanghai began to plan the construction of deep-water ports on the islands of Yangshan and Xiaoyangshan. After the central government refused to approve the project because it had no funds, Shanghai completely raised its own funds for construction.

In fact, the funds at that time were taken to build Tianjin Port with 400 billion yuan. This is ridiculous. Because Tianjin Port cannot become a transit port, ships entering Tianjin and then going to Japan, Ben, South Korea, China, North Korea, Xian, Taiwan, Bay, Russia, the Russian Far East and Hong Kong, Macao and Men are detours, which will increase freight and time, and it is impossible for shippers to choose such a route.

More importantly, Tianjin is not an ice-free port! Therefore, the throughput of the first phase of Shanghai Ocean and Shanshan Deepwater Port is designed to be 20 million standard containers, which is twice that of Singapore and Jiapo! In addition, Shanghai's throughput at that time was close to 10 million standard containers, so a considerable part of the throughput of these 30 million standard containers must have been transshipped out of the port or even out of the country.

Therefore, if there is no duty-free policy or no free trade policy, the role of Yangshan Port cannot be played.

This is the fundamental reason why the "Free Trade Zone" is particularly needed in Shanghai.

Prior to this, although the State Council has been stuck, Tianjin, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou are also striving for it, but it is inevitable that Shanghai will end up.

Try to think about it, if Shanghai does not have such a policy, what is the use of Tianjin, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou having such a policy?

Is it possible to drive the development of the whole country like Shanghai?

The answer is no.

In fact, it has only been a few years since the completion of Shanghai Yangshan Deepwater Port, and all the world's freight giants have been able to dock at the Yangshan Port Terminal, and the throughput has already replaced Singapore as the world's largest port.

Although there is no free trade zone policy and lack of inland cargo areas and supporting facilities, it cannot smoothly transship foreign goods, but only the transshipment of domestic goods has made the throughput reach the first in the world.

If Shanghai Yangshan Deepwater Port has the policy of free trade zone, the throughput will increase exponentially.

This will have an immeasurable impact on the economy of the whole of China and China

Fortunately, the central government has now realized the importance of establishing the Shanghai Free Trade Zone. At the same time as determining the establishment of a free trade zone in Shanghai, it also laid out a very mysterious chess game. Together with Thailand and China, we excavate the "grams, pulls, and rivers" of Thailand and China.
