Chapter 296: Strategic Direction
That same evening.
Li Qingye had already left Thonburi and appeared hundreds of kilometers away in the southern part of the Natta Ong Mountain.
The realignment of the internal divisions of the control zone also means that the governors and other senior managers in various places need to be adjusted.
Internal video conferencing.
Li Qingye glanced at the people present: "You guys complete the handover of the work at hand as soon as possible, and then we need to deal with the pressure from the major powers." β
"Yes, Chairman."
According to the rescheduling, the heads of each region are:
Carmen Lopez served as governor of Luzon.
Sturt served as Governor of Ceylon.
Unam served as the governor of Siam.
Uyebo served as the Governor of Malacca.
Harry Fernando served as Governor of the Spice Islands.
Long Yuanzhi served as the governor of Borneo.
Python Hill served as the governor of Java.
Ma Chi served as Governor of Honsavady.
Wu Gang served as Governor of Assam.
In addition, Li Guming continues to be in charge of Sing Tao City, Prawit is in charge of Thonburi City, Maung An is in charge of Yangon City, Xu Yingjie is in charge of Timor City, and Zhang Wei is in charge of Manila City.
Qiu Yingle, Garfield Fernando, Fang Xincheng, Xu Yingming, and Liu Zhifan were transferred to the departments of the headquarters of Homo Sapiens.
Among them, Fang Xincheng is in charge of the supervision department, Liu Zhifan is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xu Yingming is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, Garfield is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Security, and Qiu Yingle is in charge of the Information Department.
Chen Jianxiong is still the original field support department, and the internal logistics department is taken over by the former head of the Blood Blade Special Operations Team, Bagyila.
After arranging the governors of various localities and the heads of various departments of the headquarters, Li Qingye left a group of ministers to discuss some strategic issues in the future.
"The three-legged situation between Asia and the Western Pacific is very difficult to break for the time being, what do you think?"
Everyone looked at the holographic projection map in front of them, and it was actually difficult to continue the annexation of eastern Asia and western Pacific.
Otherwise, it would not only be the Americans who would jump over the wall, but the other powers would also join forces with the Americans.
Qiu Yingle put down the pen in his hand and proposed: "How about engaging in cultural infiltration and information warfare?" We have a huge advantage in this area, and we are invincible in our own right, and I feel that there is a lot to be done. β
"I agree with Ms. Yingle, but I would like to add one thing." Liu Zhifan continued:
"We should induce the entire East Asian region to be highly dependent on us in terms of energy and minerals in terms of mineral resources and energy."
Barendut, who is in charge of the Mine Management Department, pulls up an internal mineral reserve data, shares it with everyone, and then points to the data list and explains:
"This is the company's current mineral reserves."
Oil reserves of 16.3 billion tons (including 2.4 billion tons of conventional oil and 13.9 billion tons of shale oil. οΌ
Natural gas reserves are 24 trillion cubic meters (including 11 trillion cubic meters of conventional natural gas and 13 trillion cubic meters of shale gas. οΌ
The annual output of fermented methane is 167.3 billion cubic meters.
Judging from pure energy reserves, there is no shortage of energy in the area controlled by Homo sapiens, and there are many unexplored seabeds.
In addition, Homo sapiens hydropower, geothermal, and nuclear power are developing very rapidly.
For example, the volcanic geothermal energy of Luzon, Java and Sumatra can reach 8 million ~ 12 million megawatts.
The combined hydropower potential of Assam, Honsavady, and Siam can reach 210,000 megawatts.
Liu Zhifan went straight to the point: "In terms of energy, we can use the Strait of Malacca, Lombok and Kra Canal to block the channels for East Asia to import energy from West Asia, and we don't need to waste our precious reserves." β
"Then look at the other minerals!" Barendut pointed to the list of data on the mineral reserves.
At present, Homo sapiens has mineral reserves of 75.2 billion tonnes of iron ore (average grade 32%), 3.6 billion tonnes of copper and 5.2 billion tonnes of bauxite......
All kinds of precious metals, rare metals, rare gases, rare earth minerals, etc., are not a few reserves.
Liu Zhifan looked at the information:
"With the recent surge in lithium and helium prices, the discovery of several deep lithium deposits in the Assam region, and the technology of separating helium from volcanoes, we can fight a price war, artificially create price fluctuations, suppress Western mining companies, and then let our vests find a way to merge these mining companies."
"I'll find a way to cooperate in this regard." Chen Jianxiong interjected.
Liu Zhifan continued: "The other thing is to prepare for a grain war, East Asia is the core area of grain imports, as long as they can handle their grain, they can't stand up. β
"Food from AmΓ©rica, Lucia, Brazil and Australia is a big threat. β
The importance of food is clear to all.
Li Qingye naturally did not show mercy, he said: "To deal with the regions of various grain export regions, we have tested it on North American soybeans before, and then we can make a detailed plan." β
Wanting to block the foreign trade of Homo sapiens is simply wishful thinking.
Homo sapiens can artificially create a food scarcity situation, so as to force those areas that are not self-sufficient in food to obediently "open the door" themselves.
For example, Dongying and South Goryeo.
Another example is West Pakistan, East Pakistan, Persia, Egypt, and the Sands.
If these regions are highly dependent on food imports, the loss of food supplies in North America, South America and Lucia will be absolutely devastating for them.
Homo sapiens, which integrates most of Southeast Asia, has a very large amount of food production.
The Honsavaddy region alone can produce 1~200 million tons of grain a year, plus other areas, 5~600 million tons of grain a year, which is more than enough.
If Homo sapiens activates the various underground base city lightless farms, the grain production can easily reach the level of more than one billion tons.
With such a good card in hand, it would be a waste not to engage in a food war.
With food crops, you can tear down the trade blockade of the great powers.
After all, people all have to eat, and other daily necessities, cars, houses, etc., can be endured and passed, but no one can bear the problem of eating.
The crowd discussed for more than eight hours.
During this period, a series of strategic plans were formulated.
It covers culture, entertainment, industrial chain, energy, minerals, food, semiconductors, automobiles, shipbuilding, medical care, transportation, etc.
At the same time, the next direction of expansion is determined.
At this stage, Homo sapiens will encounter huge resistance to the north and east, and these two directions can only be put on hold for the time being, using a soft knife method to destroy its resistance little by little.
Expansion to the west and south is relatively easy.
To the west is South Asia and West Asia, to the south is Oceania, and to the southwest is Southeast Africa.
The island of Diego Garcia, which Homo sapiens had previously snatched from America, is the island under the name of Seychelles.
To the southwest of the Seychelles, there are Madagascar, Comoros, Mauritius and Reunion (French).
These weak chickens are not worth mentioning at all in front of Homo sapiens.
The vast expanse of the Ceylon Ocean provided Homo sapiens with great strategic depth in the western direction.
Even if America has been strengthening the military forces of Tianzhu and Australia recently, it is difficult for them to compete with Homo sapiens on the Ceylon Ocean.
The entire Ceylon Ocean Rim is the next key expansion direction of Homo sapiens.
Just after Li Qingye held this internal meeting.
Sanji Badalial appeared in the room: "Sir, Prince Jifu of the Sand Kingdom wants to purchase a batch of drones and missiles, and the Ministry of Military Industry asks for Mr.'s opinion. β
"You can consider selling a batch of monkey versions."
Sanchi Badalial continued: "The other party also wants to invite the gentleman to the sand. β
"I refused directly, and similar invitations were rejected in the future." Li Qingye waved his hand.
Sanchi Badal nodded: "Yes, I will convey it immediately." β
Thank you for your support (Ο') and take care of yourself.
