Among the four provincial-level divisions painted by Lan Fang, the most important governors of Central South Province and Indonesian Province came out of the Jin Dynasty, and the other two, one was the original official in the northwest, who came from the mayor of the prefecture-level city, and served as the governor of Malay Province, because Malay Province was the smallest, and the other was the governor of Philippine Province, he was a military official turned civil affairs, and the Philippines was at the forefront of resisting the United States at that time, and it was once a colony of the United States.

In addition to the highest level of provincial governor, among the officials in the whole Southeast Asia, almost 7% were born in Jin merchants, and about 30% were born in the northwest.

First of all, through his connections, he contacted the port authority of the Straits of Malacca, through whom he obtained the exact information of the ship, and sent a newspaper to many friends and fellow villagers in the same year. Of course, since Wang Rongmin is an investigation, of course, he can't make it clear, he can only get the data by knocking on the side, and it is impossible to say bluntly that he is going to build a canal in Central South Province to divide the transportation capacity of Malacca, if this is the case, I am afraid that no one will be willing to give him information, he just asks for the requirements over there, do an analysis of the transportation capacity, and ask for details to the level of years and months, hoping to get the information of the past few years, the more detailed the better.

Transportation data and capacity, this in any country, is a relatively secret thing, under the level of war, even more so, can grasp this level of information, even in the Malacca Port Authority, there are not many, at least the leaders of key departments above the department level, these people are trained for a long time, for ordinary people to inquire like this, I am afraid that they have long been vigilant.

But who is Wang Rongmin, the governor of Central and South Province, no matter how secret things are, as long as it is not top-secret military intelligence, or special information with a high level of secrecy, otherwise, it will be open, a person at the level of a national minister, especially in charge of a province's resources, he himself has the authority to look at this, not to mention that this is still closely related to the economy, if this is not allowed to see, how can the economy be carried out, maybe this is a plan related to Central South Province, or even the entire Southeast Asia.

This director, also born in Jin merchants, has long admired Wang Rongmin's name, but he is much younger, and the time to join the government is also short, the big brother of the same township came to ask, of course he knows everything, everything is endless, and even sent his cronies to send things over, the port authority, located on the Malay Peninsula, is connected to the Indochina Peninsula, although Malacca, and Central South Province, there is no direct railway, but there is a highway, hundreds of kilometers away, five or six hours, with a special sealed file bag, It was delivered to Wang Rongmin, and even Wang Rongmin didn't expect it to be so soon.

Thanks to the staff sent by the wind and dust, Wang Rongmin arranged for the secretary to receive it in person, and called the port authority of this fellow, after expressing his gratitude, he opened the document, which should be a copy of the port authority's archives, which clearly records the navigation data of the entire Southeast Asia, Malacca, even the entire Southeast Asia, China's coastal ports, and even Japan, the number of ships, tonnage, are accurate to a considerable extent, and even the time of passage and approximate goods.

Wang Rongmin is a person who is quite sensitive to numbers, and soon found the largest cargo of oil from these goods, before Germany did not occupy Baku, most of the ships going to the Middle East were empty, even if they were not empty, they only brought some prisoners back, at most some simple raw materials, after all, China has a lot of land and resources, Germany lacks everything, and in the war, in the mutual economic and trade exchanges, almost all of them are poor, and China imports a large number of goods to Germany, Germany relied on some precious metals or in kind to repay.

Since the German occupation of Baku, it has happened, China's demand for oil is simply endless, no matter what the daily output, what the annual output is, if you are willing to take it, open to harvest, it doesn't matter how much, which has formed the largest scale through Malacca, which also accounts for 30% and 39% of the number of Malacca navigable carry.

If the Kra Canal can be built, then oil is not a place that can be used, continue to look at all kinds of industrial products, as well as some cracking of oil, petrochemical products, this is the biggest focus, no matter where it is exported, including Germany, there is a considerable part of petrochemical products, this is also a place that can be used.

A document of less than 30 pages, less than 20,000 words, Wang Rongmin looked very carefully, almost did not let go of every possible aspect, through these data, his confidence in the Kra Canal rose again, now it is not a question of whether to build or not, now it is a question of how to develop alcohol after it is completed, if the canal can develop well, for Central South Province, this is at least 10 times better than the previous 4 railways, or even 100 times better, really get it, It is not impossible for him to soar into the sky, after all, China's current development mode is based on the economy, as long as it can improve the quality of life of the people and the country's wealth, some shortcomings can be tolerated, of course, corruption is a veto, can not be discounted.

Itself, according to this data, he can make a report on the construction of the canal, but from this detailed information, he has seen more, most of them are after the completion of the canal, some large projects, he can do it in a short time, analyze things clearly, but some complex, involving a wide range of things, even if he just analyzes the benefits, the specific good there, there are some clouds and mountains and fog.

For others, as long as this project has direct benefits to himself, it must be the first time, and the decision will be made, but Wang Rongmin can't, he must figure it out, at least most of the details, for example, after the canal is completed, the use of overland railways to reduce time costs and transportation costs, just like what China transports to the Middle East, did not pass through the Suez Canal, because of fear of British seizure, let alone detour the Cape of Good Hope, which is too far away, and there are many uncertainties, Under the premise that the carrying capacity of the railway is reached, the railway is more efficient than the waterway, but the cost is greater, and the water transport is the most economical and cost-effective mode of transport.

Regarding the data on railway logistics, it involves more, which not only includes Southeast Asia, but also includes the entire Chinese railway network, Wang Rongmin also has an extra mind, so that colleagues in the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Industry helped him inquire about the industrial situation in the southwest and northwest provinces, and there are some industrial products transported out by rail or other methods, and raw materials are transported in.

In the information of the Malacca Port Authority, Wang Rongmin saw three major directions, heavy industry based on steel, chemical industry and light industry based on petrochemicals, and then the logistics industry and warehousing industry linked by railway shipping, especially the last one, which is the core of the core, if that industry can be completed, it will be a huge benefit for the entire Central South Province and even the whole of China.

Simply good for Central South Province, not enough to impress the entire Chinese high-level, but if it is good for China, in this era, it will inevitably be passed, the more in-depth understanding of these information, Wang Rongmin will regret slightly, he has lost a little watermelon to pick up sesame seeds, if it is really on this project, if it takes a little more energy, it will not be like now, maybe, two years in advance, Central South Province can get several times the development.

Of course, in all fairness, his choice was correct at that time, on the one hand, the central government did not have a clear signal, to promote the development of the whole of China with large-scale projects, to consolidate infrastructure, 1200 kilometers of range advantage, in the freight rate and the cost of a large increase in the premise of a large increase in the cost of ships, is not worth mentioning, on the other hand, there is no oil from Baku, this alone, at least more than 20,000 less merchant ships per year, after all, in the case of empty ships, but also to pay tolls, this needs to be considered, The comparison between the 1,200 km range saved and the toll is problematic.

Wang Rongmin is not a person who is immersed in the past achievements, nor is he a person who forgets his current work for regret, such a large canal plan, once completed, will become one of the largest canals in the world, not as good as Suez and Panama, the two transcontinental canals, but also higher than the Kiel Canal, as long as the operation is done properly, Central South Province will usher in an unprecedented development opportunity.

If you miss it, you miss it, Wang Rongmin is glad that at the critical moment, he can make up for this mistake, this is an extremely rare opportunity, as long as you analyze it carefully, not only for the Kra Canal this point, the Kra Canal is not as good as Suez and Panama, that is a saving voyage in thousands of miles, and both canals have strong political and military significance, for example, now, the Suez Canal, Britain blocked the use of Germany, Germany also passed through Austria-Hungary and Turkey, plus its own submarines, The attack on the Suez Canal, which in most cases is cut off, is also the key to the international waterway, controlling it and having far-reaching regional implications.

The difference between the Kra Canal and the two is that almost the entire area is under the control of China, and it is part of Chinese territory, whether it is dug or built, or otherwise, regardless of the surrounding neighbors or even international influence, just take into account its economic value.
