Chapter 439 Mineral Reserves

"Boss, just say it directly, where you point to us, we will fight, there is no second word."

Wang Zhiming is very fierce now, and the next chief of staff of the Civil Defense Force, that is absolute self-confidence.

"Hehe, we want to occupy the Strait of Malacca, which will be our gateway to the Pacific and Indian Oceans in the future, and the door for us to step out of the country and go to the world!"

Li Baoqiang waved his hand confidently, but the people around him gasped.

The Strait of Malacca, more than a thousand nautical miles away, further on is the equator, tropical, hot to death, I damn it, a little far.

Li Baoqiang did not discuss the plan to occupy the Strait of Malacca with others, and this was still the decision made during the meeting in Kyoto, when he secretly discussed with Commander Zhang Yaoyang and Commander Hu Shengsong.

In the previous life, the Strait of Malacca was a dangerous waterway for the Chinese navy, where it was not the sky and sea of China, the long strait, like a rope around the neck, as long as the international situation suddenly changed, China's oil lifeline was strangled to death, which is the eternal pain of the Chinese people.

Zhang Yaoyang, Hu Shengsong, and Li Baoqiang decided that they must take advantage of the chaos of the last days to take the Strait of Malacca by forceful means.

On the west side of the Straits of Malacca is Singapore, which is relatively easy to do with the traditional Chinese world.

And on the east side is Indonesia, those Indonesian monkeys are not things, they belong to the barbarian series, Li Baoqiang decided to take Indonesia first, and if he got Indonesia, the Strait of Malacca became a bag.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Li Baoqiang knew where everyone's difficulties were, wasn't it far, wasn't it just that there was no strength, these were not problems, the key to the problem was whether there was confidence.

"I understand what everyone is thinking, I want to talk about the importance of mineral resource reserves first, and then the action plan will be formulated by the General Staff, and after it is formulated, we will discuss and supplement."

After all, from now on, Li Baoqiang's tentacles will extend to the whole world, the family is big, the composition of the personnel is complex, there are all kinds of ideas, and if you don't unify your thoughts, there will be problems.

"Damn, the boss is getting more and more awesome, I really don't know how this guy's brain grows, he understands everything."

Wang Zhiming muttered quietly on the side.

How did he know that Li Baoqiang was also a bad supplement, who let people have a geophysical expert at home, Dr. Shangguan Yang is a real expert, not those lip pro experts in his previous life.

Except for a small baby in Shangguanyang's belly, the rest is all knowledge, otherwise the secret of the solar storm can be calculated in advance, so that the science and technology of the autonomous region are at the forefront of the world.

Of course, this is also closely inseparable from Li Baoqiang's current desire for knowledge, Li Baoqiang is now like a primary school student, tirelessly absorbing a large amount of political, economic, scientific and technological, cultural, historical, military and other aspects of knowledge.

What was a small veteran at the beginning has now grown into a pillar of the country.

"Mineral resources are an important material basis for human survival and development, and have an extremely important position in economic and social development.

I would like to analyze the relationship between mineral resources and war, between the strategic reserve of mineral resources and national security, and put forward several suggestions for strengthening the strategic reserve of mineral resources in China in combination with the current situation of supply and demand of mineral resources in China.

Please point out any inaccuracies. ”

Li Baoqiang talked eloquently, without the slightest stage fright, what Shangguan Yang said has been completely absorbed and digested by Li Baoqiang, and with his own thinking, he has formed his own complete set of political opinions.

Everyone also put away their curiosity and listened to Li Baoqiang's speech quietly, Shangguan Yang looked at Li Baoqiang very proudly, his little man had finally grown up.

In the scene, only Gu Yunhai pursed his lips, and a sneer at the corner of his mouth exposed his contempt.

Gu Yunhai is a graduate student of Harvard University in the United States, and he did not graduate because of the apocalyptic disaster, but Gu Yunhai has always regarded himself as a high-achieving student of Havard.

What Li Baoqiang is going to talk about next, Gu Yunhai doesn't have to think about it to know what Li Baoqiang is going to say.

"The mainland is old, cut, and picks up people's teeth." Gu Yunhai lowered his head and took a bite of food, not paying attention to Li Baoqiang's speech.

Gu Yunzhi glanced at his son, didn't say anything, just turned around, glanced at Li Baoqiang's daughter in the women's pile and Li Baoqiang in the crowd, and sighed softly in his heart,

"I hope Gu Yunhai can mature as soon as possible, alas."

Li Baoqiang paused slightly, leaving everyone enough time to think, scanned the audience, and continued:

"The development and utilization of mineral resources promotes the rapid development of the global economy. The non-renewable nature of mineral resources has made human beings worry about the depletion of resources, and they have always been evaluating and studying the availability of mineral resources.

Disruptions in the supply of mineral resources can jeopardize a country's defense system and economic system.

Although there is no shortage of mineral resources from a global perspective, from the perspective of a single country and region, due to the geological attributes of mineral resources, the spatial distribution of global resources is uneven, most minerals are concentrated in a few countries, and the development and utilization of mineral resources is also limited.

In terms of the existing proven reserves, nearly 76% of the reserves of 17 kinds of minerals are distributed in three countries: the United States, Russia and China;

Of the world's remaining recoverable oil reserves, 56.1% are distributed in the Middle East, and China accounts for only 1.2%; The Middle East accounts for 41.5% of the remaining recoverable natural gas reserves, Russia accounts for 27.2%, and China accounts for 1.3%.

Due to the differences in mineral resource endowments in various countries, it is impossible for any country to rely on its own resources to meet the needs of economic development.

In particular, in order to maintain the rapid growth of their own industry and economy, countries with developed industries and economies have a large demand for mineral resources and a strong dependence on foreign mineral resources.

Heavy dependence on foreign resources becomes both an economic and a national security issue. National security can be guaranteed only on the basis of resource security.

Therefore, it is of great significance to determine the corresponding mineral resource reserves according to the actual situation of the country and attach importance to it at the height of the national strategy for maintaining national security and sustainable economic development.

In its research report "Global Warning," the worldwatch institute, a well-known non-governmental organization in the United States, pointed out that "throughout the course of human history, wars for the acquisition and control of natural resources have always been a source of international tension and armed conflict."

Modern warfare is a war of attrition of mineral resources, and if the country does not have sufficient reserves of mineral resources as a guarantee, it is easy to be cut off from the supply chain of mineral resources due to foreign attacks or economic blockades, and it is impossible to guarantee the military materials needed in wartime, which will affect the success or failure of the war. ”

Li Baoqiang finally solemnly pointed out: "Whoever masters the resources will be able to control the world!" ”
