When he received Pierre's telegram, Qin Zhiyuan was presiding over the industrial transfer meeting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Regarding industrial transfer, Lu Zhengxiang submitted a report last year, but because the objective conditions are not met, it has not been implemented.

In Qin Zhiyuan's plan, Lanfang itself, that is, within the triangle of Wanghaizhou, Jinzhou, and Youzhou (Papua Island), should be dominated by agriculture and tourism, and Wanghai and Jinzhou should be responsible for some manufacturing, but should also be far away from the center to avoid industrial pollution to the greatest extent.

But for a country, it is impossible not to develop industry, especially heavy industry, Lanfang now has a relatively strong industrial manufacturing capacity, although it is not yet able to catch up with the old imperialist countries Britain and the United States, but it is already much stronger than France and Italy, these heavy industries must not be abandoned, so the relocation is also on the agenda.

Before the Port of Hedland and the city of Paz reached an agreement, Lu Zhengxiang was inclined to move heavy industry to Yingzhou, on the one hand, because Yingzhou is far away from Lanfang mainland, located in the center of Lanfang mainland and Northern Xinjiang, and its safety is guaranteed, and on the other hand, because Yingzhou is far enough away from Lanfang mainland and Northern Xinjiang, no matter what Yingzhou becomes due to industrial pollution, there is no obstacle to Lanfang or Northern Xinjiang.

This proposal seems to have many advantages, but in fact there are disadvantages, the biggest disadvantage is that Yingzhou is far away from the raw material production area of Lanfang, whether it is from the Pilbara region of Australia or from Daqing City in Wanghai Prefecture, which will increase transportation costs and affect the competitiveness of Lanfang's industrial products.

There are pros and cons to moving industry to Yingzhou, and neither Lu Zhengxiang nor Qin Zhiyuan have made up their minds. This difficult choice suddenly became very simple after the agreement between Port Hedland and the city of Pass.

In the course of the battle between Port Hedland and the city of Pass, the city of Jianye in the Pilbara region has carried out infrastructure construction, and the scale is still relatively small at present, but as long as we continue to increase our efforts on the existing basis, it is not difficult to build Jianye into our Lanfang steel base, and now there is a rare opportunity, our existing steel plant is in need of equipment upgrades, so simply build one or two large steel plants in Jianye, so that because the Pilbara area is vast and sparsely populated, Even if there is a pollution problem, it will not pollute our Lanfang locality, and because the Pilbara area itself is a source of iron, the ore mined in the Pilbara area can be directly sent to the factory in Jianye for preliminary processing, which not only saves transportation costs, but also is more conducive to strengthening our control over the Pilbara region, if we analyze at the previous speed, the steel plant will be built in two years at most, and then in the next 20 or even 30 years, we will not have problems with raw materials. "Prime Minister Lu Zhengxiang has done his homework well and is quite well prepared.

"This is a good suggestion, if the industrial base is transferred to the Pilbara region, then our environment in Lanfang will be guaranteed, and the tourism industry can maintain its current development trend." Minister of Environmental Protection and Tourism Zhou Yichun immediately expressed his support.

Zhou Yichun is a student of Lu Zhengxiang, Lu Zhengxiang joined Lan Fang together, once served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qin Zhiyuan returned from Europe, fully realized the importance of environmental protection, so he established the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Tourism, which is a department that needs a lot of coordination work, so Zhou Yichun was removed from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a minister.

"There are real benefits to building an industrial base in the Pilbara region, but how about defense? The Pilbara region is not our territory now, although it is under our actual control, but it is still nominally Australian territory, and it is also under the control of the British Commonwealth. The leader of the largest opposition party, Speaker of the National Assembly, Huang Bohan, immediately asked.

Lu Zhengxiang's "Alliance Party" and Huang Bohan's "People's Party" are the two major parties in Lanfang, and the position of prime minister is basically that these two parties take turns in power, and when Lu Zhengxiang is on the stage, Huang Bohan automatically becomes the speaker of the National Assembly, and when Huang Bohan is on the stage, Lu Zhengxiang is the same.

Huang Bohan "voluntarily" resigned from the post of prime minister because he was implicated in the "casino case", and Lu Zhengxiang was thus promoted. Huang Bohan was not reconciled, so he stared at Lu Zhengxiang with wide eyes at any time, waited for Lu Zhengxiang to make a mistake, and then kicked Lu Zhengxiang down.

"I would like Minister Qin to explain this question." Lu Zhengxiang came prepared, so naturally he would not easily let Huang Bohan catch the pigtails.

"Our military department has conducted many deductions, if the British start a local war in the Far East now, they may not be able to reap the benefits, Port Hedland now has nearly 200,000 people, as far as the present is concerned, Port Hedland has two standing army integrated divisions, and three reserve divisions, if all armed, the strength will be 65,000 men, because of the terrain between Port Hedland and the Pilbara area, even if the British send 100,000 men now, the British will not want to fight Jianye, and according to our available information, The British were now not in a position to launch an expedition of 100,000 men. "Defense Minister Qin Zhisheng is confident, and he is a little eager to try the British.

Qin Zhisheng did not list the navy of Port Hedland, just with those submarines of the Port Hedland Navy, it is really not enough to face the overwhelming battleships of the British, but all the advantages of the British are at sea, and if they really want to go to land, the British can't even beat the French.

"The British don't need to land, they just need to blockade Port Hedland, and then they will be able to cut off our raw materials, has the military department considered this problem?" Even in the face of Qin Zhisheng, the prince, Huang Bohan did not back down, and the questions raised were still sharp.

"If the British are just blockading, then it is the time when we need to intervene, in terms of the size of the British Far East Fleet, it is wishful thinking that they want to compete with us in the Far East, and we don't need to send battleships, our air force can take them all to the bottom of the sea." When it comes to the Air Force, Qin Zhisheng is more confident, it can be said that so far in the world, Lan Fang's Air Force is still second to none, not to mention the British, who are complacent, and even the Americans who have begun to attach importance to the Air Force are not good, there is no comparison at all, and the advantage is as great as the British on the sea.

Qin Zhisheng had a reason to limit the superiority of Lanfang's air force to the Far East, Lanfang is a country composed of islands, in the Far East, Lanfang has countless islands, these islands can also be said to be countless unsinkable aircraft carriers, as long as it is in the Far East, Lanfang's air force can use any airfield to launch a strike against the British.

"The British will increase their troops, and their Congress is discussing doubling the size of the Far Eastern Fleet on the basis of the existing ones, and will the Air Force be sure to cope with it then?" Huang Bohan was also well prepared, and his intelligence work was also good.

In the Far East, Lan Fang's performance towards Britain can be described as aggressive, the British will certainly not let the situation continue to deteriorate, if left unattended, maybe in another five years, or ten years, the entire Far East will have no place for the British, which is tantamount to the end of the world for the British.

As the world situation gradually became clearer, the importance of the Far East became more and more prominent, with the largest population in the world and the largest market in the world, and neither the British nor the Americans wanted to give up this market.

If you want to compete for the market in the Far East, Lanfang is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, so Harding proposed to convene the Washington Conference, and there was a secret meeting between Lloyd George and Qin Zhiyuan in London.

In fact, the current situation is different from another time and space, because of the appearance of Lan Fang, the British have strengthened the strength of the Far East Fleet, and now the British Far East Fleet has four battleships, with a total fleet tonnage of more than 200,000 tons, which is the most powerful fleet of the United Kingdom except for the home fleet.

"Our air force is also strengthening, the 'Eagle Falcon' series of bombers and fighters can ensure our air superiority, although the British fleet is strong, they may not dare to enter the combat radius of our bombers, otherwise even if they drive all the warships over, our air force is sure to sink them all, we are not completely powerless, where is the advantage of the 'Vladivostok' and 'Lanfang', the British want to sink them may not be easy." Qin Zhisheng wasn't too worried, and didn't list all the advantages.

Another advantage of Lan Fang is the French, if Lan Fang and the British go to war, the French will definitely not sit idly by, even if the French are still just a symbolic statement like the last time, the French can also play a certain role in restraining the British.

According to the popular theory of the Navy at this time, only battleships of the same class can sink battleships, the "Vladivostok" and "Lanfang" owned by the Lanfang Navy are both 43,000 tons, and only the tonnage of the "Hood" in the British Navy has reached 40,000 tons, that is to say, only the "Hood" can pose a threat to the "Vladivostok" and "Lanfang", so if the British want to start a war with Lanfang, I am afraid that they must first build more 40,000-ton battleships.

The construction cycle of battleships is similar to that of steel plants, and they are all calculated in "years", and when the British build a 40,000-ton battleship, Lanfang's real aircraft carrier has also been put into service, and it is really hard to say who will have the advantage at that time.

"If we tear our faces with the British, the Americans will certainly not sit idly by, and how will the Americans react when the time comes? Does the military department have an assessment of this? "Huang Bohan also left a big killing weapon, and he didn't release it until now.

At the mention of Americans, the atmosphere in the conference room immediately froze.

That's right, the relationship between Americans and the British is a son and a father, and if the British and Lanfang tear their faces, the Americans will definitely not sit idly by.
