The Santa Goga archipelago is a group of islands in the Indian Ocean and a small independent country. 1 - The country has a population of just over 200,000 people, no minerals on the islands, very limited arable land, and a very low income for the local population, which is mainly dependent on fishing.

In the waters near the Saint-Goga Islands, there is a busy trans-Indian Ocean route, where hundreds of ocean-going freighters pass every day, but none of them stop, because the Saint-Goga Islands have only a few small fishing ports and are not equipped to accommodate large ships.

With a small population, a small economy, and an unimportant position in the Indian Ocean shipping lane, the Saint-Goga archipelago is an international inconspicuous island, and even when the United Nations meets in plenary session, it plays the role of a soy sauce. For such a country, not only did He Fei not hear of it before, but even Lin Zhenhua just knew that there was such a place. If it weren't for the local information that Chen Tiantuo handed him a large file bag, he wouldn't even be able to find the location of this place, because this kind of small island country doesn't even have the qualifications to be a lady.

But it is such a place, but it has become a place where Lin Zhenhua has to come to visit in his busy schedule, and the reason is that Chen Tian told him that the navy wants him to "shed some blood".

With the escort to the Indian Ocean, the Chinese Navy embarked on the road of blue water. Building a blue-water navy that can be projected around the globe requires enough overseas bases to support naval vessels. The construction of overseas military bases is a very sensitive matter, and no matter how good a country has relations with China, it is extremely cautious about accepting a naval base. Not to mention China, even the United States, its overseas military bases have been repeatedly protested, and sometimes they have to be closed in disgrace. From this it follows that the construction of military bases is not a very easy task.

In view of this, the Chinese side has chosen a strategy of covering their ears and stealing bells, and they have decided not to directly negotiate with foreign countries about the establishment of military ports, but to entrust domestic civilian enterprises to go overseas to acquire ports, and then renovate them according to the standards of military and civilian use. As a civilian port, it should be okay to receive warships to dock once in a while, but as for how long these warships can dock, that is a matter of opinion.

To say that this strategy is to cover your ears and steal the bell is because in fact, both the country where the port is located and the world public opinion know what is going on, but as long as you can't grasp the handle of the other side, you can't prove that this is a military base. At that time, the silver will be smashed down, whether it is military or not, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?

The first batch of overseas bases planned by the Navy were chosen on the route of warships from China's coastal ports to the frigate area in the Gulf of Aden. On this route, as early as more than ten years ago, there was already a port controlled by the Chinese, which was a deep-water port called Jinmao in Myanmar, which was bought by Qi Yue, Lan Wufeng, Song Qiyuan and others as an important gift to the motherland.

Over the years, the Navy's engineers and technicians have already made many modifications to it, and this time the escort group also docked here for a while to carry out shore replenishment exercises, proving that it is a very ideal overseas base.

According to the plan, in the future, China will also build a railway from Yunnan to Jinmao Port, so that Jinmao Port will be integrated with Chinese mainland, and its strategic significance is immeasurable.

From Burma to the Gulf of Aden, there are still thousands of nautical miles in between, and the navy's idea is to build another intermediate supply base. After many twists and turns, everyone finally set their sights on this humble island nation - the Santa Goga Islands. Geographically, the Saint-Goga archipelago is located in the middle of several popular shipping lanes in the Indian Ocean, making it an ideal location for establishing a naval base. After analyzing remotely sensed images and consulting relevant publications, military experts determined that there were conditions for the construction of a deep-water port. Ihalos Island, the largest island in the archipelago, has an area of more than 20 square kilometers, which is enough to accommodate a military logistics supply base.

Once the target has been chosen, the next question is who will talk about building the base. The Santa Goga Islands are only a good port, and so far there is no such thing. If you want to choose here to build a naval base, you must first lease a piece of land, and then you must start the construction of a port, at least one 10,000-ton ship, plus a few thousands of tons. In order to avoid the accusations of international public opinion, this port must be built in the name of the people. The point is, what is the reason for building such a large port in a place where there are neither products to export nor products to import?

The military discussed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the State Development Planning Commission, and other departments for a long time, and in the end, Zhang Zhifang, the former minister of naval armament who had retired, laughed and recommended a person, no need to ask, this person is Lin Zhenhua.

Hearing Minister Zhang's recommendation of Lin Zhenhua, the people in the navy were happy. This Lin Zhenhua, because his beloved sister paper was injured, called on the first day of the Lunar New Year to scold a cadre of naval officers and officers, and everyone has not avenged this revenge. It's just right, just take this opportunity to let this guy atone for his crimes.

Officials of several national ministries and commissions are also quite familiar with Lin Zhenhua, they know that Lin Zhenhua is a decent person, enthusiastic about national affairs, and at the same time has a very active brain, and can often solve problems in an eclectic way.

In this way, when Lin Zhenhua was still in Yemen, he received a notice from China, asking him to hurry up and take a trip to the Saint-Goga Islands to implement this matter. At the worst, we must first tie the line so that we can continue to contact and communicate in the future.

Of course, this notice from China was not of the nature of an order, but it was Wang Baoxing, the commander of the first batch of escort formations of the Navy, who sent this notice to Lin Zhenhua, and the implication of this was very obvious. Didn't you, Lin Zhenhua, scold us for not coming out to protect the lives and property of the people? Okay, now that we're here, shouldn't you do your duty?

Wang Baoxing took the fleet outside the port area of Aden, dropped anchor, and went ashore by helicopter. He nominally went to the Aden Hospital to visit He Lan, but only a small bag of snacks and nutritional products for He Lan brought with him was a small packet of snacks and nutritional products for He Lan, and the remaining large bag was a handwritten letter to Lin Zhenhua from Zhang Zhifang, Liu Xianghai and others. Seeing this scene, Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and half-pushed and half-pushed on the spot to continue this sacred work.

After attending the Independence Day celebrations in the Republic of Goma, Lin Zhenhua took He Fei and flew to Sri Lanka and then took a seaplane from Sri Lanka to the Santa Goga Islands, the only fast way for the island nation to travel with the outside world. There are other ways to get to the island nation, and that is to take a small passenger ship from Sri Lanka, which is said to take two days at sea and has an accident rate of several thousandths.

Lin Zhenhua and the others went to the Saint-Goga Islands at the same time, as well as a port construction expert sent by the navy and a security official sent by Chen Tian.

The navy's port construction expert is named Lu Donglin, and his public identity is an engineer at the Xunyang Port Machinery Company. The Xunyang port machinery company is not simple, it is the original Xunyang deputy mayor Xie Youshan went to the sea to start a business to establish the company, taking advantage of the spring breeze of the national transportation facilities construction, Xunyang port machinery has now developed into a large enterprise with assets of billions, the business has been done in the port of Amsterdam. ..., the security official's name is Li Jinbao, and Lin Zhenhua has never figured out whether this is his real name or a pseudonym. Like his name, Li Jinbao looks ordinary, and even looks a little obscene. His public identity is the driver and bodyguard of the chairman of Hanhua Heavy Industries, but his big-bellied body stood beside Lin Zhenhua, which really made it impossible to judge who he and Lin Zhenhua were protecting.

Such a four-person combination seems quite reasonable, from the outsider's point of view, Lin Zhenhua is a Chinese nouveau riche who is looking for projects to invest in all over the world. I don't know which line in his mind is wrong, but he actually fell in love with a place like the Saint-Goga Islands, so he ran over with the marketing director, the driver and bodyguard, and an engineer borrowed from the cooperative unit.

When Lin Zhenhua stood at the gate of the presidential palace of the Republic of the San Goga Islands, located in the middle of Ighalos Island, this is how he introduced his intention to the guards at the gate. In order to allow the president of the Saint-Goga Islands to pay more attention to himself, Lin Zhenhua specially told the guards that the Hanhua Heavy Industry Group under his command currently has more than 200,000 employees, which is the same as the population of the Saint-Goga Islands.

"According to the courtesy of the head of state, please invite this Mr. Lin in." When President Kopecini heard the guards' report, he immediately gave the order. There is no doubt that Lim Zhenhua is the most powerful guest that the Saint-Goga Islands have received in the last 10 years, and he is fully qualified to receive the courtesy of the head of state.

20 soldiers who looked crooked and cracked jujubes formed a guard of honor and lined up in two columns to greet Lin Zhenhua and his party. Since there is no military band, the national anthem of the Saint-Goga Islands can only be played by tape recorders, and as for the Chinese national anthem, there is no tape to be found here, so it cannot be broadcast, and Kopecini specially apologized to Lin Zhenhua for this matter.

"It's okay, next time I'll bring you a plate of magnets for the Chinese national anthem, and if you need it, I can also give the Presidential Palace a set of karaoke ordering equipment, which stores the national anthems of all countries in the world."

Lin Zhenhua forced a smile and said to Copanich seriously.
