Chapter 236: Indonesia's Treasury

Duan Qirui actually didn't know it completely, but he vaguely saw a little problem from the legislative process of the Nanyang Republic and the phenomenon of Hongxi City.

That is, this Nanyang Republic is very aimed at the Indonesian natives, maybe Xia Jun wants to find out this Nanyang Republic because of these natives, but Duan Qirui is not very sure of his guess.

However, Duan Qirui's answer made Li Yuanhong so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and suddenly Li Yuanhong laughed, and also asked Duan Qirui: "Do you know his intention to establish the Nanyang Republic and let you come over?" ”

Duan Qirui was silent when he heard this, and Li Yuanhong said with a smile: "I don't think the inheritance left to you by your old man is almost gone!" This trick is indeed clever. ”

"Huh!" Duan Qirui suddenly laughed and said to Li Yuanhong: "You and I are just his puppets, and as for the old man's inheritance, I can't keep it, so why force it." ”

"You can see it." Li Yuanhong smiled and was very proud. Duan Qirui also had a smile on his face, as if he was open-minded.

Then the two of them returned to their previous state, and neither of them spoke.

After a few days, the lively atmosphere in Hongxi City gradually dissipated, and the Chinese everywhere also began to embark on the return journey, and the East China Army had completed the takeover of Indonesia.

At present, the administrative scope of the Nanyang Republic is only Java Island, and the other islands are administered by the East China Political Axe using the Dutch system, that is, the old status is maintained.

In Hangzhou, Xia Jun is preparing for a large-scale migration to Indonesia.

In order to secure a place, it is necessary to first achieve dominance in terms of the number of inhabitants.

The way to immigrate to Indonesia is very simple, just go to Indonesia to develop the economy, Indonesia is a resource-rich region.

Located in the southeast of Asia, across the equator, between 10 degrees north latitude and 10 degrees south latitude, more than 70% of its territory is located in the southern hemisphere, so it is the only southern hemisphere country in Asia. With a length of more than 5,500 kilometers from east to west, it is the most extensive Asian country outside of China. Typical tropical rainforest climate, with an average annual temperature of 25-27°C, and no four seasons. The northern part is affected by the northern hemisphere monsoon, with abundant precipitation in July and March, and the southern part is affected by the southern hemisphere monsoon, with abundant precipitation in December, January and February.

Indonesia consists of 17,508 large and small islands between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, of which about 6,000 are inhabited. There are more than 400 volcanoes, of which 77 are active. There are two major seismic zones in the world: the Pacific Rim Seismic Zone and the Mediterranean-Himalayan Seismic Zone. Indonesia is located in the Pacific Rim Seismic Zone and is a country with many earthquakes. The coastline is 35,000 km long.

Geographically, Indonesia is located in the tropics, so it is very rich in products. Rice can even be grown for four seasons, of course, generally three seasons.

It is a country rich in natural resources and is known as the "tropical treasure island". Among them, mineral resources, biological resources, agricultural resources and tourism resources are quite abundant, which provide favorable conditions for sustainable economic development.

Indonesia's oil, natural gas and tin reserves occupy an important position in the world. The oil reserves are about 120 billion barrels, mainly in Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Zealand and Irian Jaya. Indonesia also has huge natural gas reserves, about 123589 trillion cubic meters (equivalent to 20.6 billion barrels of oil), of which 2,423 trillion cubic meters have been proven, mainly in places such as Arun in Sumatra and Badaq in East Kalimantan. The reserves of tin are 800,000 tons, which are mainly distributed in Bangka and Belitung, Singe Island in the Lingka Islands, etc. There are proven reserves of 38.8 billion tonnes of coal, mainly in Kalimantan, Sumatra and Sulawesi. Most of the coal mines are open-pit mines, the mining conditions are very good, the coal quality is also good, the heat per kilogram is 4000-7000 kcal, the sulfur content is very low, but the moisture is slightly higher. The reserves of sickle are about 5.6 million tons, ranking among the highest in the world. The diamond reserves are about 1.5 million carats, ranking among the highest in Asia. In addition, the reserves of uranium, town, copper, ming, bauxite, and gong are also abundant.

Indonesia is one of the countries with the richest biological resources in the world. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 40,000 species of plants in Indonesia, among which medicinal plants are the most abundant.

Food crops are the basic sector of Indonesia's plantation industry. Rice is a staple food. Miscellaneous grains include corn, cassava, beans, etc. Indonesia is the largest producer of pulses in Southeast Asia, but yields are low. Indonesia is the world's second-largest producer of tropical crops after Brazil. Most of the cash crops are grown in plantations, not only are there many varieties, but also some of the crop yields are among the best in the world. Indonesia has the world's largest production of pepper, cinchona, kapok and rattan. The output of natural rubber and coconut ranks second in the world. The world's largest producers of palm oil, coffee, spices, etc. Indonesia is a fruit kingdom rich in various tropical fruits such as bananas, mangoes, pineapples, papayas, durians, mangosteens, etc.

Indonesia has a forest area of 120 million hectares, of which 112 million hectares are permanent forests and 8.1 million hectares are convertible. Indonesia has a forest cover rate of 67.8%. Indonesia is famous for its tropical tree species such as ironwood, sandalwood, ebony and sleevewood.

Indonesia has a vast sea area and a tropical climate that is suitable for all kinds of fish. Indonesia is extremely rich in fishery resources, and Bagansibia on the east coast of Sumatra Island is a world-famous fishing ground. The species that can be caught are tuna, carp, squid, shellfish, and other fish, as well as shrimp, seaweed, etc.

With more than 120 active volcanoes, Indonesia is one of the most volcanically active countries in the world. Indonesia is rich in geothermal resources, but volcanic eruptions also cause frequent earthquakes.

There are many economic projects that can be developed, and in the case of industrial and mining areas, many important minerals can be extracted, such as aluminum, nickel and copper.

Indonesia has 1.9 billion tonnes of bauxite reserves and 24 million tonnes of proven reserves, mainly in Bangka and Belitung islands, West Kalimantan and Riau provinces.

Indonesia has nickel ore reserves of about 1.3 billion tons and proven reserves of 600 million tons, mainly distributed in the Malugu Islands, South Sulawesi Province, East Kalimantan Province and Papua Island.

Indonesia's copper mines are mainly distributed in the Grassberg, Inter-mediateorezone and Biggossan regions of Papua Island and the Golundalo Province of North Sulawesi, with resource reserves of about 66 million tons and proven reserves of 41 million tons.

The distribution of these resources has long been recorded by East China Group, but the previous policy of the Dutch was not very suitable for development, and now it has become its own territory, so it is natural to develop it.

There are also many high-quality coal mines in Indonesia, which are also found in China, mainly in the northwest region, but the ecological environment there is weak.

There are not many places like Indonesia that have a large number of high-quality coal mines and are easy to mine.

Indonesia's resources are so abundant, but the Dutch still have a very low degree of development of Indonesia, and these resources are basically not used much, which is simply a treasure trove!

In the midst of such drastic social changes, the population has begun to shift to industry, and now there are not many jobs, because many people in China are still semi-agricultural and semi-worker, and their incomes are not high.

Workers from areas with low economic development can be transferred to Indonesia, and when they go to Indonesia, they can become Indonesian nationals and enjoy the same civic benefits as in China, as well as some privileges for indigenous people.

Although mining is not an easy job, compared to those backward countries, and even those powers, China's mining technology is definitely the most mechanized, and most of them adopt the method of open-pit mining, that is, constantly digging down and digging a huge pit out. Mining is done directly with a large excavator, and hundreds of cubic meters of soil are transported by car with a shovel.

As for indigenous workers, the work is even unpaid. The East China Group will not recruit indigenous workers.

Bauxite should be mined and reserved, because in wartime, aircraft are made of aluminum alloy, and more reserves will have more war potential.

Nickel is used to make stainless steel, which is related to the economy and military, and has a wide range of applications, and it is also necessary to dig more to store it.

As for copper ore, it is a mineral that China lacks, and it has a wide range of applications, and it is necessary to increase reserves.

Because it is to reserve, and in order to provide domestic enterprises with cheaper raw materials, Xia Jun exchanged for 200 million points of mining machinery.

Nowadays, East China Group has been able to manufacture some small engineering vehicles, but the technology of large engineering vehicles has not yet been mastered.

Like these mining equipment, the excavator is the kind of large excavator of hundreds of cubic meters, which is called efficiency, and East China Group naturally can't build it now.

Therefore, Xia Jun can only rely on exchange, and he can spend a lot of points in these aspects.

In terms of agriculture, the main development of the Nanyang Republic is tropical cash crops, which China has lacked in the past.

Now that Indonesia has become its own territory, it is natural to vigorously develop tropical cash crops.

However, in the cultivation of these tropical cash crops, all Chinese must be employed, and indigenous people are not in the scope of employment, and Chinese plantations in Indonesia must comply with this regulation if they mainly want to grow these cash crops.

The varieties of cash crops provided by Xia Jun are very profitable, so even if they hire Chinese workers with high costs, they will not make the plantation owners lose money.

Fisheries must also be developed, but they also need to be overfished, as is the case in China, with at least half a year of moratorium, and a ban on some large trawlers.

In the case of fishery resources, which are not easily recoverable, sustainable development is an idea that must be adhered to.

Although deep-sea fishing is more profitable in this era, the royal road is still offshore fishing, although the ocean is very large, but many places are ocean deserts, and there are no fish.

Forest resources can also be developed, mainly planting fast-growing timber, but there are regulations in East China, fast-growing timber cannot be planted alone.

Fast-growing timber consumes water and fertilizer, and at first Xia Jun did not understand that he planted a large area in Fujian, which resulted in the barrenness of the land. In particular, the fast-growing cedar trees that Xia Jun made at the beginning are even more water-consuming and fat-consuming.

If the entire mountain were planted with these fast-growing cedar trees, the mountain would be very barren in a few years, and the water resources in the ground would be depleted.

However, it is not because of water and fertilizer consumption that they do not plant, and the economic benefits of fast-growing wood are indeed very high.

Therefore, the legislation of the East China Political Axe stipulates that fast-growing tree species must be mixed and matched with other tree species, and each mu cannot exceed a certain number.

In a region with a lot of rainfall like Indonesia, it's okay to plant some fast-growing wood.
