Chapter 1577: The Middle East Question
For Yang Yuanzhao, Australia is too important, and it is a fat meat to the mouth, and if China wants to achieve rapid development, Australia must take it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This is a country sitting on a mine cart, all kinds of resources necessary for industrial production, almost more than 9 percent, can be found in Australia, iron ore, copper, precious metals, non-ferrous metals, etc., his reserves, basically are counted in the world, especially iron ore, which determines the basis of the current national strength, the prospective reserves in Australia are more than 13 billion tons.
The average iron content of more than 5 percent, which represents more than 6 billion iron, with China's current output of more than 400 million tons, Australia's iron ore can be simply supplied to China for more than 15 years, which is a huge unimaginable amount, and even compared with the current output of the United Kingdom and Germany, they can produce for hundreds of years.
It is the ore that determines China's dispatch of troops to Australia, of course, there are other considerations, 7 million square kilometers of land, it represents a huge output, and this is a newly occupied land, the aborigines, basically killed almost, occupy a land, but also a group of outsiders, as long as China expells these whites, next, there will be no problems, not at all like the Middle East, where are ethnic settlements, ****** problems, in the future, will be magnified countless timesIt will even spread to the western part of China, which is inhabited by ethnic minorities.
In order to be safe, with the experience of traveling through the former China, Yang Yuanzhao does not set up ethnic minority areas or anything like that, that is not to put the ethnic issues together, a little turbulent, someone fanning the flames, it will erupt, it is the same as integrating foreigners, scattering people and distributing them in densely populated areas along the southeast coast, and they will not forcibly change their beliefs, but to a certain extent, suppress the possibility of their spread and expansion.
The role of the central government from top to bottom is quite powerful, some of them are just imperceptible, it is enough to influence, the most important thing is actually very simple, let all the people live a good life, when everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, how many people will choose to resist, and occasionally a little ripple will also dissipate without a trace under the tough attitude of the central government.
These are very simple things, plus now China's development is gradually improving, the average wage has risen many times compared to before 1908, more wages, better living conditions, a higher quality of life, who else will object, because of the inconvenience brought by migration, soon replaced by crazy rising living conditions and tastes, ethnic integration and immigration integration are underway, the current progress is quite good.
Australia can take it down, the rest, there is no need, the world is so big, you can't occupy all the five continents, become China's territory, unify the world, more than 30 million square kilometers of land, for China, absolutely enough, no matter how big, you also need to consider, how to apply these land, this is not an easy problem to solve for the current China, a bad deal, there will be the consequences of falling apart, Yang Yuanzhao can't manage it in the future, In his lifetime, he will be able to influence and control the country, and he will definitely promote the development of the country in a closer scope, and only a stable China can make rapid progress, whether it is in science and technology, or in the economy, this is an unshakable direction.
The plan of the Eurasian railway is a good plan, and even in the future, in the peaceful years after the end of the war, it can promote the construction of the railway, which has been built to Xinjiang, which is actually part of the Eurasian railway planned in the future, but the Central Asian side has been cut off, and it is currently only serving China. Russia has no way to cross it, and Central Asia is not occupied, and this railway cannot play an important role in connecting Europe and Asia, and the supplies to Germany can only be transported to the sea from the Indian Ocean, which is the best choice, and the liaison with the Middle East must be carried out at sea.
Basra in the Middle East, which is the first overseas territory obtained by China, was occupied by China before the war, forming one of the largest ports in the world, under the premise of actually controlling the entire Middle East, the Middle East is the first priority to build a place, not only large-scale immigration, but also a series of industrial transfers, the purpose of course is to stabilize the immigration of the Arabian Peninsula, after all, tens of millions of immigrants, if there is no industry to nurture them, they will have problems themselves, here in a sense, is an enclave, far from the borders of China.
Basra, itself is a good city, in the past few years of good development, now, under the intervention of the central government, is to relocate a number of production capacity, the future with Basra and Baghdad as the core of a new industrial belt, will undertake the entire Chinese industry of one percent of the light industry, and even part of the heavy industry, such as the 2.5 million tons of steel project, will be outdated here, behind hundreds of years of Arabia, will usher in a new development opportunity, they will become the vanguard of China's foreign economy.
At present, this change has had a considerable effect, some simple light industry, such as cloth, food processing, basic iron products processing, they are all military orders, these things, need to be produced from China, through the sea, across the sea for a month, but local production, only need to send raw materials to it, or even solve some raw materials on the spot can be produced.
In addition, in Baghdad and Basra, small chemical factories were built, because of the overseas relationship, the scale was not very large, but the problem was well solved, in 1915 and 1916, on the premise of a 20% increase in the size of the fleet to the Middle East, the transportation of goods to Germany increased by 185%.
In general, the economy and conditions in the Middle East are still poor, the desert itself is an unsuitable place to live, even in later generations, under the premise that the oil in the Arab region is turned on, there are not too many people in the Middle East, even if there is a factory to purify seawater, the Arab region is still short of water, which is the most fundamental problem.
However, in the Middle East, another large-scale project, also began to build, the development of Baku, let him from an annual output of about 10 million tons of super giant oil fields, to an annual output of 100 million tons, the world's first oil field, his output, than this four generations, all the oil fields are basically developed, 100 million tons, will occupy the entire 3B railway volume, according to 1 million tons per day, 3B railway annual volume, is only 300 million tons, of course, this is a theoretical result, some force majeureBesides, according to the capacity of 1,000 tons per train, almost 1,000 trains per day is already the limit of the 3B railway, but compared to the oil field, it is still somewhat insufficient.
In the future, there are oil fields in the entire Middle East, which is the big head, several times the oil of Baku, in this way, the underground oil pipeline has become the focus, although this era is slightly early, but the underground oil pipeline, at the technical level, has given you not many problems, the key is the difficulty of the construction of the preliminary work has been done, all the new construction of the oil field, as well as the original modified oil field, some necessary pipelines have been laid, especially with a daily output of more than 1000 tons, In this era, these are considered large oil fields, which are transported to the railway station through underground pipelines and then loaded, which has saved the transportation capacity of the oil-producing area.
The construction of oil pipelines, not only will not occupy the capacity of the 3B railway, but also reduce the process of loading, as long as in the port, directly through the pipeline for loading, such a speed than the original I don't know how much faster, on the train, you can use a tank car, but on the ship, it is impossible to put a large oil storage tank, directly to the ship, so unsafe, also not suitable for transportation, can only be loaded into the oil depot, and then according to the oil depot, and then to the ship for loading, in this case, a lot of time is wasted.
China has launched 70,000 tons of cruise ships, which is currently the highest among the merchant ships, this kind of cargo ships specially produced for the transportation of oil, regardless of the problem of containers and bulk parts, there are at least dozens of pipelines, can inject and export oil, whether it is loading and unloading are equivalent aspects, the use of liquid fluidity, at most add some pressure, can be much more powerful than the back and forth handling of cranes.
A 70,000-ton oil tanker can transport 70,000 tons of oil, and the daily output is 100 million tons a year, which is only more than 300,000 per day. This greatly saves capacity, although it is said that China's merchant shipping volume, has already reached the world's first level through the huge shipbuilding industry, China's demand for many places, Pacific islands, transport Japanese to Alaska, Australia, and then support for Germany, these are huge capacity to provide, it can be said unceremoniously, it is really very huge, in this sense, the less the better.
For this oil pipeline, the German side is supportive, reducing costs, which is equivalent to increasing the profits of the German side, on this point, Germany is very supportive, but Germany has no money, and no manpower, everything is required from China, in the middle, there is a lot of bargaining, must reach a good foundation, in order to be able to negotiate between the two sides, in the current situation, not bad, only some stubble things, in the middle, the Chinese took the opportunity to take out the ownership of the Middle East as a discussion, This proposal was instructed by Yang Yuanzhao, and the diplomats have been looking for an opportunity, and it just so happened that they took advantage of the plan for this oil pipeline to put it forward.
