In fact, for Lan Fang, if she wants to attack Ethiopia, it is really better to fight Eritrea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Eritrea was an Italian colony, originally part of Ethiopia, which was later occupied by the Italians, and then Eritrea.

Compared with Djibouti, a barren land, Eritrea's geographical environment is much better, not to mention that Eritrea has a coastline of 1,200 kilometers on the Red Sea coast, which can effectively contain the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and Eritrea's climatic conditions are much better than Djibouti, at least not as hot as Djibouti.

Eritrea also has a highland climate, but unlike the extreme heat of Djibouti, the climate in central Eritrea is mild, with temperatures of only about 15 degrees in the cool season and a maximum of 25 degrees in the hot season.

As long as the temperature is suitable, the population is always large, and there are nearly a million people in the whole of Eritrea, which is a big problem for Lan Fang.

After all, Lan Fang raided the land, and all he wanted was land, and the people on the land didn't want any of them.

The relationship between Lan Fang and Italy is not bad now, although it is not good, but it has not reached the point of meeting each other, so Lan Fang still needs to wait for the opportunity to attack Eritrea, before this, Qin Zhiyuan is not willing to be idle, looking at the map in front of him, Qin Zhiyuan set his eyes on the Hanish Islands.

The Hanish Islands are an archipelago in the southeastern part of the Red Sea, consisting of four relatively large islands, the largest of which is about 90 square kilometers.

The Hanish Islands were once a disputed island in the 21st century, with Eritrea and Yemen both claiming sovereignty over the islands, as well as disputes surrounding them.

There is no such problem now, although the Hanish Islands are quite large, but the natural environment is harsh and not suitable for human survival, so although the Hanish Islands have rich fishing grounds, neither Italians nor Yemenis have little interest in the Hanish Islands.

The Hanish Islands are not only rich in fishing grounds, but also rich in oil resources, as well as rich marine life, coral reefs and crystal clear seawater resources, and the tourism industry is very promising.

For people in the twenties of the twentieth century, tourism is definitely a new word, this is an era of clothing and eating more than the sky, filling the stomach is the right thing, tourism or anything is floating clouds.

Therefore, even though the Hanish Islands have an important geographical location and rich tourism resources, it is really embarrassing that there is not even a permanent population on the current Hanish Islands.

Qin Zhiyuan naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity, and after figuring out the current situation of the Hanish Islands, Qin Zhiyuan immediately found Chen Kangjian.

"Hanish Islands - that's really a place where birds don't, our Djibouti is a little hotter, but there is still a Tajoura Bay to support the scene, on the Hanish Islands, there is not even a single bird feather-" Chen Kangjian, like Italians and Yemenis, also looks down on the Hanish Islands,

"If you want to go, you will go, whatever the bother." Qin Zhiyuan didn't plan to explain so much, and this kind of thing couldn't be explained clearly, could he tell Chen Kangjian that there was oil underground in the Hanish Islands?

That's a real thing.

"Okay-" Chen Kangjian didn't dare to disobey Qin Zhiyuan's order, pinched his nose and prepared to send someone up to respond to the scene.

"At least one company must be sent over, there must be garrisons on each island, coral reefs or something must be patrolled often, find a few people to get something to throw into the sea, if someone says irresponsible things, just say that it is one of the supply points of our ancestors, and it has been our territory since ancient times." Qin Zhiyuan's desire to expand his territory is shameless.

"Old Ancestor—I can't talk about it." Chen Kangjian didn't dare to be disobedient but dared to question it, and he still had the courage to complain.

"Who's to say it can't be done? Zheng He had been to the Red Sea coast when he went to the Western Ocean, so including Djibouti, Little Aden, and the current Hanish Islands, these are all places where our ancestors came back then, and they are all our inherent territory. "Qin Zhiyuan is domineering and leaky, and he has long prepared the legal basis for annexing the above-mentioned areas.

Chen Kangjian was dumbfounded for a long time before he remembered to answer: "Hehe, Your Majesty, this was all hundreds of years ago, so you can think of it." ”

"It's because it was easy to operate hundreds of years ago, you pay attention, this Hanish Islands is not very suitable for permanent stationing, the officers and soldiers stationed on the island should pay attention to rotation, every one or two months, and pay attention to the usual supplies, set the priority level to the highest, don't save good food and drink, send what should be sent." Qin Zhiyuan has a complete plan, which is to prepare for the complete annexation of the Hanish Islands.

In fact, it is really easy to annex a borderless land, in this era when the sense of territory is generally not strong, as long as Lan Fang sends troops to the Hanish Islands, it will not take long at all, as long as the surrounding countries do not jump out to protest at the first time, it will be a fait accompli after a long time.

"No problem, the supply of our army is still very good, I set up a canning factory in Xiaoyaden, which is specially used to produce military canned food, to say that the people here are really lazy, they can sit and not stand, they can lie down and not sit, as long as they are hungry and do not die, they will never find some way to improve their lives or anything, there are many fishermen in the 'Qin Army', and when I saw that the fishing ground here was like crazy, I set up a fishermen's brigade to let them go out to sea to fish, and the seafood we consume now is provided by them." Chen Kangjian's progress is not small now, at least he knows that he can't blindly "wait, rely on, and want".

Although North Africa and the Middle East are either deserts or Gobi, it does not mean that deserts and Gobi are useless, even if Djibouti's natural conditions are harsh, but Djibouti also has a good place like Dayi primeval forest, if Djiboutians are diligent, the desert may not be able to become an oasis.

Referring to "desert turning into an oasis", Qin Zhiyuan finally remembered one of the most important things on this trip: "The western province should also pay attention to the management of the environment, this governance is not the meaning of protection, you also know, in this situation, if we don't work hard, the desert and the Gobi will continue to expand, so you are here, there is an important task to be handed over to you——"

When it came to "important tasks", Chen Kangjian's eyes immediately lit up, but Qin Zhiyuan's next words really disappointed Chen Kangjian.

"It's not that the desert and the Gobi can't be governed, if Djibouti is not under our control, it has nothing to do with us as desolate as he is, but now that this is our western province, we can't let him continue to be desolate, so you should pay attention to afforestation while building the Tachura Bay military port." Qin Zhiyuan thought far ahead, and was ready to tell the world in a few years or more than ten years what would become of Djibouti under Lan Fang's control.

"Afforestation - Your Majesty, this side is all the Gobi Desert, the temperature is forty or fifty degrees all year round, and it doesn't rain once a year, so you can plant trees in this kind of place?" Chen Kangjian was depressed and wanted to hit the wall, let Chen Kangjian lead the troops to fight, Chen Kangjian is a good hand, let Chen Kangjian plant trees, this is really not what Chen Kangjian is good at.

"Yes, it's afforestation." Qin Zhiyuan was categorical, leaving no room for discussion: "The Gobi can also be afforested, and the same is true for the desert, as long as the right plants are chosen, the desert can also become a forest." ”

Desertification control, which will not attract widespread attention until the 21st century, is Qin Zhiyuan, a traversal person, will take desertification control seriously.

"So—what are we going to plant?" Chen Kangjian did not resist, his voice was full of grievances.

"There are many things that can be planted, such as Djibouti, juniper, acacia trees, olives, dates, etc., considering that you want to plant a large area, you need to choose a plant with the most economic value, so dates are the most suitable choice." Qin Zhiyuan already had a preliminary idea and gave the answer casually.

In fact, these plants mentioned by Qin Zhiyuan are all common plants in the Dayi primeval forest, and since these plants can survive in the Dayi primeval forest, they can also be planted in Tajura Bay.

As for "jujube", this is one of the plants that impressed Qin Zhiyuan the most.

Dates, also known as Persian dates, dates, Iraqi dates, date palms, date palms, fairy dates, dates, etc., originate from West Asia and North Africa, dates are a kind of high-temperature, flood-resistant, drought-resistant, salt-alkali tolerant, frost-resistant, sun-loving plants, which can be widely planted in tropical to subtropical climates.

Jujube is not strict for the cultivation of soil requirements, basically as long as there is soil can be planted, and the growth is fast, the adult jujube palm trunk is tall and straight, the leaves are pinnate compound leaf shape scattered, not only has high economic value, but also has high ornamental value.

The jujube tree is full of treasures, and the fruit has extremely high nutritional value, containing a variety of vitamins and natural sugars that are useful to the human body. Not only that, dates can be made into a variety of confectionery, high-grade syrups, biscuits and dishes, as well as vinegar and alcohol. The branches of the date palm can be used to make chairs, beds, and to carry fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish, shrimp, and baskets. The leaves can be used to weave mats, tie brooms, make trays, etc., and can also be used as fuel; Tree trunks are used to build farmhouses and bridges; Jujube pits can be used as feed; Even inferior dates can be used as fertilizer or feed. And the most important thing is that the date palm tree has a long lifespan, being able to live for more than 150 years.

In the 21st century, dates have been widely cultivated, and the most planted country is Iraq, accounting for about 30% of the world's total.

Qin Zhiyuan's confidence in jujube also stems from the memory of the 21st century, a tree that has been proven to be widely planted, and as long as enough attention is paid to it, it is still very promising.
