Chapter 467 467 Coastal Defense in the South Seas

However, it is said that the Nanyang Navy has always been supplied with weapons by China, and it is also equipped with a huge fleet size, and it is good to give orders to China if there is a demand, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it is somewhat worthless to give Ukraine $100 million. But Qi Yiming has many considerations, first of all, the production capacity of domestic shipyards is tight, even if Nanyang wants to order, it can't be booked, and it must be extremely expensive to buy Chinese cruisers. If the base is provided for free, Qi Yiming feels that he can't do it, because he can't produce any effect.

After years of development, the economic growth rate of the Nanyang Republic is not much behind China, and because of the small population and large resources, the per capita GDP has exceeded 10,000 US dollars at this time, which can be regarded as the level of developed countries in the 90s. Qi Yiming has continued to enrich the Chinese population in Nanyang with domestic immigrants and base militias in these years, and the total population of the Nanyang Republic has reached 34 million at this time, and the proportion of Chinese has reached 82%.

A little racist believes that the fact that the Nanyang Republic can become one of the developed countries in a few years also has something to do with the fact that it is a Chinese-dominated country, and it is absolutely not a saying that the Chinese are a superior nation. In order to attract Chinese talents, the Nanyang Republic has set up an immigration incentive program, which not only enables many Chinese people to migrate to the Malay Peninsula or Borneo, but also allows many wealthy Chinese businessmen living in other Southeast Asian countries, and even Europe and North America to migrate here, stimulating local investment

After all, Nanyang is a small country, and its main economic industries include petroleum, tropical agriculture, agricultural product processing, rubber industry, tourism and finance. Obviously, Nanyang's economy is very focused on tropical industries, and rubber, tropical fruits, rice, coffee, cocoa beans and other things that are less in China have developed a lot, while China's stronger manufacturing industries are relatively few in the local area, and some are also highly complementary.

Nanyang is a tropical archipelago country, the scenery and climate are pleasant, the new Malaysia and Thailand tourist routes are popular in the world, Qi Yiming to build the Nanyang Republic, tourism as one of the pillar industries in the development, and because of the Chinese society, the local security is far more stable than Malaysia, Indonesia ruled by the region, tourism resources after investment and development, immediately attracted tourists from many countries around the world to come here for vacation.

In addition, Nanyang also implements preferential support policies for high-tech industries, mainly for high-tech companies in Europe and the United States, and has also undertaken many European and American high-tech companies to set up parks in Nanyang in recent years. This part has somewhat formed a certain competition with China's high-tech industry, but Qi Yiming feels that there is competition to make progress.

The rapid development of the economy has made Nanyang a country about one-tenth the size of China, with an annual military investment of more than $6 billion, and less than 30 percent of the world's defense expenditure, and in fact, the Nanyang Republic received a large amount of weapons and equipment donated by Qi Yiming when it was founded, so the amount that needs to be purchased is not too large. The purchase of a Glorious-class cruiser is not the largest investment in military equipment in the South China Sea in recent years.

In 88, the Republic of Nanyang ordered 100 FC-1B Thunder 2 from AVIC. 0 fighters, the total value of the contract is 12. 600 million US dollars, as a result of which the Nanyang Air Force expanded the Thunder fleet to 200 aircraft; In ninety, the Nanyang Republic ordered a total value of 8 at the Tianjin International Defense Exhibition. 600 million Chinese weapons, including 120 VT-1A urban warfare upgraded main battle tanks, 260 MIFV multi-purpose infantry vehicles, 48 Dongfeng-15 surface-to-surface missiles, 18 Z-16 mixed Jianglong heavy helicopters, a submarine support ship and some other equipment; In 91, the Republic of Nanyang purchased two 20,000-ton amphibious assault ships from China to enhance its anti-submarine capabilities and disaster relief capabilities, each at a cost of $500 million, and both of them will be built in Nanyang's own shipyards in the form of technology transfer.

It can be said that the Nanyang Republic has always firmly occupied the second place among China's arms sales exporters, and the first is of course occupied by Saudi Arabia, which has deep pockets. With the two Al Yamaha agreements and some other sporadic arms sales, Saudi Arabia has to order an average of $2 to 3 billion a year from China, while the Nanyang Republic has basically stabilized at an average of less than $1 billion.

After Saudi Arabia and Nanyang is not China's most important arms seller Pakistan in another plane, the economic situation of Pakistan Railway is not very good after all, so although there are a lot of military exchanges with China, but the scale is not particularly large, especially after the last large-scale military aid, Pakistan Railway's demand for weapons is relatively reduced, so the purchase volume is not large.

In third place is actually the United States, the only complete system purchased by the United States and China is the A-11/Qiang-7 stealth attack aircraft, but this one alone is seven or eight billion US dollars, which shows that the United States is really not bad for money. Between military and civilian use, China's Chujiao-6, Z-9, Z-15 and other helicopters are also more popular in the U.S. market. And those military spare parts, such as electronics, composite materials, and even parts secretly outsourced to China by US defense contractors, have added up to a billion dollars in recent years.

What is interesting is that China has imitated the US military in building the Blue Army Corps, and the United States has also built some weapons in China in the past two years to try to build an imaginary enemy force that imitates China, which shows that the United States has not relaxed its vigilance against China.

Speaking of the purchase of cruisers by the Nanyang Republic, it is not without excuse that the Nanyang Republic has strengthened its naval forces, because the waters of Southeast Asia have not been calm recently. At the beginning of the year, a Malaysian fishing boat encountered an Indonesian gunboat while fishing in the Java Sea, and because the boundary between Malaysia and India had not been demarcated in this sea area, and the Malaysian and Indian sides were at odds, the Indonesian gunboat immediately sank the Indonesian fishing boat, resulting in the death of 17 Malaysian fishermen on board.

The presence of the South Seas seems to have weakened the presence of Malaysia and Indonesia, but neither country has been destroyed. Malaysia lost most of the territory of the Malay Peninsula and North Borneo, and the warlord Usman, who was filled by Red Guard spies? Sidi invaded Sumatra and occupied a large area of land, forming South Malaysia to fight against North Malaysia, where the federal government of Malaysia is located.

Indonesia also lost large islands such as Borneo and Sulawesi to the South Sea, while Sumatra split into Aceh, Minangkabau, Batak, Bengkulu and other countries, and its strength was greatly reduced.

After the establishment of the Nanyang Republic, peace and stability were basically maintained, and although it was impossible for Malaysia and Indonesia to recognize the Nanyang Republic, Aceh, Batak and other countries recognized the Nanyang. Malaysia and Indonesia seem to have become mortal enemies, probably because they both know that they can't do it past the Nanyang Republic, and they have the backing of China, so they don't have much hope of retaking their homeland.

However, Indonesia is still unhappy with Malaysia's small half of Sumatra, so the two countries often exchange fire and clash on the border between South Sumatra and Lampung provinces.

The actual controller of South Malaysia is the warlord leader Sidi, and Sidi is actually a Red Police spy who served Qi Yiming, Qi Yiming threw him in the three states of South Malaysia in order to pull some Malays in China to defect, as for the Malays there are doing well, he doesn't care at all. Of course, the more important mission Sidi has also accomplished, which is to completely divide Sumatra into several countries. Sumatra is also the largest island country in the world due to its one island and six countries.

Qi Yiming has no good feelings for Malays and Javanese, and he also has the intention of tossing Malaysia and Indonesia with Sidi and making them bleed. After the independence of the Siberian Far East, some of the weapons were taken out by Qi Yiming and sold to Sidi's South Malaysian Army, and the Sidi armed forces, which were enriched by a large number of Soviet-made weapons, were also more powerful.

After the sinking of a Malaysian fishing boat, Sidi declared that it would not be tolerated, and instigated ethnic hatred in the country, causing many Malays to habitually turn into thugs again, killing and robbing Indonesians in South Malaysia (mainly referring to Javanese, Sundanese, Maduras, etc.). After this, the South Malaysian Army also attacked the Indonesian army post on the border of Lampung province, causing a large number of casualties among the Indonesian army.

Indonesian President Suharto was furious, because of the bad relations between Malaysia and India, so Indonesia stationed a large number of troops in Lampung Province. However, because of the relatively poor fighting level and fighting will of the two countries and the two armies, there were not many casualties in this confused battle, but there were many escapes.

The Southern Malaysian Army, which had the advantage of weapons, did not fight satisfactorily, which made Sidi very unhappy, and the order he accepted from Qi Yiming was a general idea of constantly making trouble with Indonesia, as for how to get Qi Yiming to do it, he did not explain. So the warlord leader sacrificed the "magic weapon" he had obtained from the Far East -- the Scud missile.

Two Scud missiles were launched from southern Malaysia and crossed the ocean to attack Jakarta, the Indonesian capital on the island of Java. The Indonesians were caught off guard, and two surface-to-surface missiles actually entered the city, killing and injuring thousands of Indonesian civilians.

The missile attack has also caused serious concern around the world, with some countries condemning Sidi's actions, and the United Nations calling for an immediate ceasefire and an end to harming civilians, but no country has really jumped out to put an end to this headless war.

Later, the war also spread to the sea, with the Indonesian Navy and the Malaysian Navy engaging in World War II-like naval artillery battles in the Java Sea. Because the Indonesian Navy is equipped with some relatively large tonnage ships, such as tribal-class frigates and Riga-class frigates, the South Malaysian Navy is at a disadvantage, and one ship after another has been damaged and sunk. But then Sidi bought the Storm Petrel-class frigates and Wasp-class missile boats from the Far East Pacific Fleet, joining the fray, making the naval battle even more intense. The Indonesian Navy lacked anti-ship missiles, but the South Malaysian Navy did not, and in the end, the Indonesian Navy was forced to withdraw from the battle after sinking two thousand-ton frigates.

The naval battle in the Java Sea has caused some voices in Nanyang to strengthen their own coastal defense, but many Nanyang people do not know that the combined tonnage of the Malaysian and Indian navy may be less than a fraction of that of the Nanyang navy.
