Chapter 1186: Here, there should be a Chinese naval base
The invitation letter on Muyang's desktop is from PetroChina, and more specifically, from the China-Myanmar Oil and Gas Pipeline Construction Department. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After four months of intensified construction, the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline has finally been completed.
In fact, long before the civil strife in Myanmar, the construction of this pipeline was nearing completion, or in other words, the foundation construction had been completed, and the rest was the improvement of some testing and commissioning, pressurization sites, etc.
The outbreak of civil unrest in Myanmar directly halted the project, which was already about to be completed, and the Chinese workers withdrew to the country, and the Burmese people ran away.
After the end of the civil strife in Myanmar, the first thing Muyang did was to promote the resumption of the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline project, so that this important project, which has invested heavily and is related to the national oil and gas strategy, can be completed and put into use as soon as possible.
Four months later, after the efforts of the two countries, the construction of this pipeline has finally been successfully completed, and two days later, a completion ceremony will be held in Kyaukphyu City, and Muyang and several counselors from the embassy are also invited.
For this completion ceremony, Muyang is ready to participate, which can be said to be the first successful completion of China's investment project in Myanmar, which is of great significance.
Two days later, Muyang brought Jing Chunhai, the economic counselor, to Kyaukpyu City.
Kyaukphyu, a town on the northern tip of Langli Island in western Myanmar, on the remote west coast of the Bay of Bengal, is the entrance to the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline.
The inauguration ceremony was held at the seaport, where several huge ships from the Middle East were moored.
Originally, these tankers had to pass through the Strait of Malacca to transport oil and gas to China, but now they don't have to, and can be sent directly from Kyaukphyu to China through the oil and gas pipeline, which can not help but save time, effort and money, and also free China from the high dependence on the Strait of Malacca.
The general manager of PetroChina Pipeline Company stood on the stage and said enthusiastically into the microphone: "
"The China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline has a total length of 2,520 kilometers, 793 kilometers in Myanmar and 1,727 kilometers in China. It starts from Kyaukpyu Port on Langli Island off the western coast of Myanmar, enters China, passes through Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces and regions, and finally arrives in Chongqing. ”
"After the completion of the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline, it can transport 22 million tons of crude oil and 12 billion cubic meters of natural gas to China every year. This figure can account for one-tenth of the country's oil imports and a quarter of natural gas imports. ”
"After five years of hard work, including the shutdown and other factors, finally today, this oil and gas pipeline, which carries the expectations of tens of thousands of oil workers and the efforts of thousands of pipeline workers, has finally been successfully completed.......
The scene was very lively when the ribbon was cut and the balloons were released, and there were even videos of Xinhua News Agency reporters' interviews.
After the ceremony, everyone relaxed, Muyang, economic counselor Jing Chunhai, and office director Ma Xiaobo walked to the railing and looked at the blue sea in the distance.
Muyang said to Jing Chunhai: "Now it seems that Kyaukphyu City is still very backward, but I believe that as long as a certain amount of help is given, this place will develop rapidly." ”
"The Kyaukphyu Peninsula is adjacent to the Indian Ocean in the west, and the northwest tip of the island to the eastern channel is an excellent natural shelter from the wind and waves, with a natural water depth of about 24 meters, which can sail and berth 25-300,000 tons of ocean-going passenger and cargo ships. If invested here, Kyaukphyu Port could become Myanmar's largest deep-water port, surpassing Yangon Port. ”
"Myanmar identified three special economic zones before the civil unrest, and the Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone was one of them, but because it was established the latest, and then there was civil unrest, the Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone was stopped in the middle of the process, and it is still just a wasteland."
"At present, the Myanmar government does not have the energy to take care of the Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone, but I think this place will make a lot of achievements in the future, Chunhai, do you see an opportunity?" Muyang said and looked at Jing Chunhai, the economic counselor.
Jing Chunhai's eyes lit up, "Ambassador, you are saying that China can cooperate with Myanmar to establish the China-Myanmar Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone. ”
"Yes, the other two, the Yangon Special Economic Zone is jointly built by Japan and Myanmar, and the Dawei Special Economic Zone is jointly built by China and Thailand, why don't we get a China-Myanmar Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone." Muyang said with a smile.
"Ambassador, your thinking is really open-minded, I will write a report to the Ministry of Commerce when I go back, now that I think about it, this matter is really possible, and there is a lot to be done." Jing Chunhai's tone was a little excited, you must know that if China and Myanmar really reach an agreement to cooperate in the construction of the special zone, Jing Chunhai will definitely be regarded as a meritorious person as the initiator.
Jing Chunhai excitedly ran to the side and went to check the information with his mobile phone, and Muyang just smiled and shook his head.
The sea breeze blows through the hair, bringing a bit of comfort.
"Xiaobo, what do you see ahead?" Mu Yang pointed to the front and said.
"The sea, the seabirds." Ma Xiaobo looked at Muyang after speaking, he didn't know what the ambassador meant by asking this sentence.
Damn, it's hard to be a secretary next to the leader, you point ahead and let me guess, I can guess what.
"It's the Indian Ocean, the vast Indian Ocean." Speaking of this, Mu Yang sighed softly, "China, there is a lack of such a port to the outside world. ”
"Xiaobo, what do you think if China is here, it can have a naval base on the Kyaukphyu Peninsula."
"Ah!!h
Ma Xiaobo was surprised, this ambassador really dares to think.
"I'm afraid it's unlikely, the Burmese government won't easily agree, and even if they do, the United States won't agree." Ma Xiaobo said hesitantly.
"Hehe, in this world, nothing is impossible." After Muyang finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and there was a fresh sea breeze in the air.
Ma Xiaobo looked at the ambassador next to him, and suddenly thought that this ambassador would not be serious. But then, he thought about Muyang's past, and remembered that this Muyang ambassador had contributed to the settlement of China's military base in Djibouti when he was ambassador to Djibouti.
God, this ambassador is not trying to replicate this in Myanmar.
Is it possible?
Myanmar is not Djibouti.
The resistance is much greater.
Of course, if a Chinese naval base can be established in Myanmar, its value will be far greater than that of the Djibouti naval base.
Ma Xiaobo is not a novice, he naturally knows the importance of Myanmar to China and the importance of the Indian Ocean to China, if China really has a military port here and a fleet stationed, this is equivalent to directly breaking the so-called first island chain painstakingly operated by the United States, and China's naval ships and strategic submarines can directly swim in the ocean.
This is simply too important for China.
Suddenly, he thought of one more thing, he suddenly thought of the report on the three major restart projects that he had seen on Muyang's desk, among which the project that Muyang attaches the most importance to is the Kyaukpyu to Kunming Railway.
Could it be that this ambassador already has a grand strategy?
Ma Xiaobo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then looked at Muyang, who was standing with his head held high and looking into the distance. (To be continued.) )
