Military positions are not advertised.
This list was finally released after balancing the interests of all parties, and it was recognized by the majority of people.
From now on, the Myanmar government can be regarded as a formal transition to a new government.
Among them, Sai Maokang, Aung Hlaing and Godanwe have the most departments, and the three of them have a total of 21 ministries, and they are all key departments, even if the other ministries will send one or two deputy ministers, so their current power can radiate the whole of Myanmar without dead ends.
Of course, from the outside, Myanmar has the danger of three points of power, but this is just an illusion that Muyang wants to show others.
And this time, the new cabinet list, there are several names that are particularly interesting.
Zhao Zhongdan, Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, former Chief of General Staff of the Wa State United Army, is a proper Chinese person.
Not only Zhao Zhongdan, but also Zhao Yanzhong, Vice Minister of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, Lin Dongxian, Vice Minister of Communications, and Yang Shengyong, Vice Minister of Hotel and Tourism, are all Chinese.
It is the first time that so many senior officials of Chinese descent have appeared in Myanmar, and people can't help but sigh that after decades of oppression, it now seems that Chinese people will really enter the political stage of Myanmar.
Sai Maokang is working the internal organization of the government, and now that the new cabinet has just been formed, there are many problems, the need for the government to move from Mandalay back to Naypyidaw to work, the work of various departments, etc., and a lot of problems are weighing on his head.
These are the internal problems of Myanmar, and Muyang got out.
However, Muyang also has a lot of work, and the embassy has begun to sort out Chinese investment in Myanmar, striving to become the first batch of projects to resume construction in Myanmar. Moreover, Muyang also notified Saimaokang of these problems, and Saimaokang expressed his full support.
Jing Chunhai, the economic counselor, put a stack of documents in front of Muyang and said, "This is part of the information about the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline. ”
Mu Yang looked at the thick information, and Jing Chunhai continued to introduce beside him:
"The national layout solves the domestic energy problem and plans 10 major oil and gas transportation routes, including the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline, the China-Kazakhstan oil and gas pipeline, the China-Turkey oil and gas pipeline, the Pakistan oil pipeline, the Southeast Asia transportation line, the South China Sea maritime transportation line, the African oil and gas transportation line and the Middle East oil and gas transportation pipeline, and the northern line (imported from the China-Kazakhstan border, the China-Russia border, etc.). In the planning of these oil and gas pipelines, the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline is one of the important layouts. ”
"Once the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline is fully completed, China's energy imports will not have to be subject to the Strait of Malacca, which is of high strategic significance."
"The crude oil pipeline starts on the island of Mad on the west coast of Myanmar. The natural gas pipeline starts at Kyaukpyu Port in Kyaukpyu. ”
"Through Myanmar's Rakhine State, Magway Province, Mandalay Province and Shan State, from Ruili in Yunnan Province to China, the separation of oil and gas pipelines in Anshun, Guizhou, and Chongqing, once plagued by "oil shortages", will become the final stop of one of the long crude oil pipelines. The natural gas pipeline will go south to Guangxi. ”
"The total length of the crude oil pipeline is 1,631 kilometers, the total length of the natural gas pipeline is 1,727 kilometers, and the total length of the domestic pipeline is 771 kilometers. The pipeline is capable of transporting 12 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year to the country, while the crude oil pipeline is designed to have a capacity of 22 million tons per year. ”
At present, the vast majority of China's crude oil imports rely on the sea transportation channel through the Strait of Malacca to enter the territory, and the China-Myanmar crude oil pipeline has opened up an important land channel for China's oil and gas imports in the southwest direction, adding an import route for domestic crude oil imports, which is conducive to enhancing the security of China's oil supply.
But the problem now is that the civil unrest in Myanmar has blocked the project that was about to be completed, and Muyang got a more sinister news, after a general reconnaissance by helicopter in the air, it was learned that part of the completed pipeline section had been damaged, which was really annoying.
The total investment of this project is 2.5 billion US dollars, which lasted three years, the port to connect oil and gas was built, and the pipeline was almost built.
And now some places are still destroyed and need to be rebuilt, which is a waste of money and time, and Muyang feels heartache.
"What resistance is there to resuming work now?" Muyang asked.
"The National Liberation Front of Balang, they did not participate in this peace talks, and the oil and gas pipeline passed through their actual control area, and this time we found that the most damaged place was that section, and it is obvious that they were engaged in premeditated sabotage activities, not small-scale damage like other places." Jingchun Kaido.
Muyang turned out the information of the Balang National Liberation Front in his mind, the Balang National Liberation Front was hiding in Shan State, with about 2,000 people, and the most glorious one was to repel the 10,000 Burmese government troops who came to encircle and suppress with 2,000 people, which also made him famous for a while.
They live in the jungle all the year round, they know the situation in that mountainous area very well, and the current leader is Lieutenant General Bampa, of course, he is also appointed by himself, and the government and the military do not recognize him, Bampa is a guy who is extremely repulsive to the government.
"Scabies, but it had to be removed." Mu Yang muttered.
Jing Chunhai continued: "After Myanmar announced a complete cessation of civil unrest, PetroChina immediately contacted us and hoped to contact the Myanmar government through us to resume the construction of oil and gas pipelines as soon as possible. Speaking of this, Jing Chunhai smiled.
Can you not be in a hurry, billions of investments are thrown here, and they cannot be completed for a long time, and they are constantly being destroyed, and they continue to increase losses, who is not in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
