Main plane, mid-March 2014.

At this time, Wang Fan had just returned from the first target plane, just in time for a major event, that is, the civil strife in Ukraine and the upcoming referendum in Crimea.

When Russia hosted the Sochi Winter Olympics, Ukraine drove away its pro-Russian President Yanukovych with lightning speed. At that time, Russia had no time to fight back because of the Winter Olympics and because of its international image, it was inconvenient to fight back immediately, so it endured it. But how could Putin, who came from the KGB, swallow this breath? In the immediate aftermath of the Winter Olympics, Russia invaded the border with a large number of troops and at the same time instigated the secession of Crimea from Ukraine and its accession to the Russian Federation. And what about the EU and the Stars and Stripes republics, which have always given Ukraine courage and confidence? What are their tricks other than diplomatic verbal protests and announcements of economic sanctions? Russia has Yanhuang, a major exporter of goods, and economic sanctions have little effect, does it really intend to launch a third world war that will destroy the world?

"There's an Orange Revolution in Ukraine." Wang Fan took the newspaper he had just bought and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Yadi asked.

"It's nothing, I just think 'red'ism, how difficult the future is."

"Dreams are dreams, reality is reality. In fact, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine is just another dream. ”

"Another dream?"

"Most of the people in Ukraine believe that once they join the EU, they can immediately live the prosperous and healthy life of Europeans, but they don't want to think about how much strength and funds does the EU have to support the construction of Ukraine because of the economic crisis? Waiting, relying on, and wanting to get in exchange is not necessarily happiness, but may be a major economic and social disaster. ”

Indeed, happiness cannot be given by others, especially when the size of the country is not small. It's up to you to create it. Post-war Germany and the little devils, regardless of their position, have to say that they relied on the efforts of one or two generations to get back to today's development and wealth. ”

"But since the date of Crimea's independence or annexation to Russia is not far away, I believe your motherland can't help it."

"You're talking about the Indian state of Manipur, right?"

"Yes, with the first precedent in Russia, Yan Huang is drawing a scoop in the gourd. Hehe, when the time comes, either the EU or the Stars and Stripes? The flags are in a dilemma, the two permanent members of the United Nations, tsk, at the same time sanctions Russia and Yan Huang? Or a simultaneous war against the two great powers that straddle the Eurasian continent? It's definitely a depressing multiple-choice question. ”

"Hehe, I personally hope that the No. 1 leader will be able to seize the opportunity."

That night, Yanhuang Continent, Zhongnanhai, Beijing.

At this time, the No. 1 chief, Premier Song, and General Chi, Minister of State Defense, were discussing the Crimea issue.

"Old Chi, I think it's time to do it." The No. 1 chief spoke first, "Lao Maozi will never give up Crimea for the sake of his own national security, and according to the analysis of the General Staff, there is a 70% chance that Putin will directly 'eat' Crimea." After all, in terms of the proportion of the population of Crimea, ethnic Russians account for about 59%, ethnic Ukrainians only account for 24%, and the remaining Crimean Tatars account for 12%. ”

"I agree. It is now almost certain that Ukraine will lose Crimea. According to our analysis of the Stars and Stripes economy, society, public opinion, military and other aspects, because Crimea is close to Russia's doorstep, the probability of the Stars and Stripes directly intervening is less than 10%, and the EU is even less likely to fight Russia alone in terms of military strength. Therefore, it is very likely that in the end, the Crimean independence incident will not be resolved and will become a fait accompli. Minister Chi nodded in agreement, and then analyzed: "But we intend to be India's 'Manipur', and the situation is very different. First of all, it is separated by the Himalayas, and the means of land transportation are extremely inconvenient and inefficient, and the navy will have to face the obstruction of the Strait of Malacca when it arrives there. As for the Air Force, since it accepted dozens of Stars and Stripes C17 strategic transport planes a while ago, there is no problem with the first batch of transport loads, but the arrival of a large number of troops and the ensuing logistics support are probably full of problems. I asked Xie Zhonghua (Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force) to do the most detailed analysis, and he assessed that only by air, the limit is to ensure the supply of about 8,000 combat troops, and this is still under the condition that there is no interference from the Stars and Stripes Air Force, our side has 100% air supremacy, and all available Y-8 and C17 are put into use. ”

"Mu Huairen (Commander-in-Chief of the Navy) once conceived the use of the 'Port Blair' built in India, far from the mainland, near the Andaman Islands in Southeast Asia, as a springboard, where at this time due to civil strife in India, there was no supply for a long time, and the morale was extremely low, and our army could easily send troops to occupy it. But the only thing to worry about is how the naval attack fleet will also pass through the Strait of Malacca, or make a big detour. "The No. 1 leader looked at the map of South Asia and was a little depressed, what was in front of him was a once-in-a-lifetime strategic opportunity, which could allow the Yanhuang forces to infiltrate South Asia and have their own access to the sea in the Indian Ocean, but because of the temporary lack of strength of the navy, it is very likely that the plan will be aborted.

"What if you let that mysterious arms dealer? With his ability, not to mention tens of thousands, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of marine troops, he may be able to easily provide sufficient supplies. Premier Song interjected.

"It's an option, but it's dangerous to put the hope and blockage of our troops on someone we can't control." Minister Chi, who was cautious in using troops first and was willing to take appropriate risks, did not quite agree with this idea.

"It would be nice if we had a railway through the Himalayas." Hearing Minister Chi's reply, Premier Song sighed with emotion.

"Railroad?" Leader No. 1's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"What's wrong?"

"Old Chi, old Song, do you remember the 10,000-kilometer subway construction plan proposed by that arms dealer?"

"You mean"

"We can be sure that that person has more engineering technology in his hands than the earth has in his hands, and if we ask him to build a railway hidden in the mountains in a short period of time, won't it solve the problem that plagues us?" Chief No. 1 said excitedly.

"Great idea! At that time, we bit the ground slowly before, and it has just been broken through recently, and even if the outside world doubts its rationality, it has to pinch its nose and admit it. Minister Chi nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll make an appointment with Wang Fan immediately, I remember that he happened to come back from abroad, and I believe that his boss will agree to this kind of 'civilian' cooperation project." Premier Song said with a smile on his face.

The next day, in a certain house in Beijing, Premier Song came here to meet Wang Fan through the underground garage.

"Prime Minister, are you looking for me?" After receiving the notice, Wang Fan, who rushed to Beijing from Jinhai early in the morning, got up and said hello.

"Come, sit, sit." Premier Song, who was dressed in a suit, gestured politely with a kind expression, "Wang Fan, how are you doing?" Is the company doing well? ”

"It's pretty good, foreign bosses are more satisfied with my recent performance." Knowing that the other party was just politely asking, Wang Fan also replied politely.

"That's good, our country encourages foreign investment, if there is any problem that can't be solved in the future, you can come to me." After giving a long-term commitment, Premier Song changed the topic and asked; "Another thing, I want to ask you to ask your boss, the last time the two sides cooperated in the urban subway commuting circle plan was very good, now nearly half of the project, more than a dozen large cities after the underground railway network is connected, for the life of urban residents and urban development, have played a huge role in promoting. So we would like to ask, can you expand the scope of the project a little bit? ”

"Expand the scope? What do you mean by "

"Yes, in recent times, we have been very close to the Indian state of Manipur, but the transportation conditions have greatly limited the further expansion of trade. You see, here's the map of the area. Premier Song was afraid that Wang Fan had no idea, so he specially brought a large-scale map of South Asia and explained: "As you know, the Strait of Malacca is controlled by foreign countries, and they frequently harass our merchant ships, which is very inconvenient. So we would like to ask, can your foreign boss temporarily stop the domestic subway project and concentrate on building a railway line through the Himalayas in a short time? This is very important for the economic development and national security of Yanhuang. If you think about it, in the past, our oil imports were often stuck in Malacca, so it is very important to have a loading and unloading port and transportation channel in South Asia. ”

"Yes, I understand." Wang Fan stared down at the map for more than ten seconds, and then said a sentence of "thunder" so that Premier Song couldn't fall off the chair, "Is one enough?" Do I need to build more? I'll report along if needed. ”

"Can you really build more? You must know that we need to be urgent, preferably within half a month, and at most within three months. Although he was shocked by Wang Fan's answer, his tone remained as calm as possible, but his face gradually became flushed, showing that he was actually very excited at this time.

"If it's controlled at about three, it shouldn't be a big problem." Wang Fan had an idea of hollowing out the Himalayas earlier, and roughly calculated the construction capacity of the engineering robot in his heart, and replied: "But it is still the old rule, our company is responsible for all the projects in the mountain, including digging holes, erecting steel bars, pouring cement, laying rails and electrical equipment, and you need to solve the entrance and exit parts of the mountain." Of course, I'm trying my best to get the boss to get the mountain train tracks underground, so that the capacity can be reached directly to the departure and destination you want. ”

"That's great, how long will it take you to be sure?"

"Give me two days, in addition to the project money this time, my boss wants to invest in some large supermarkets such as China Resources Vanguard, I'm afraid you need to coordinate from it."

"Do I need to take a controlling stake?" When Premier Song heard Wang Fan's new request, he thought for a few seconds and asked.

"No, but we have to make sure that there is an area in the supermarket that is under our direct control, and that some highly automated computer equipment will be installed. My boss has recently planned to expand the size of the virtual physical store, so the area is much larger than the previous one or two counters. ”

"No problem, as long as the railroad can be completed within the required time, I promise you, this will be 100 percent achieved."

"Well, that's a deal! I'm going to send an email now! ”
