Time flies.
A week has passed in a flash.
August 28.
Xiao Hongjing, who was on a state visit to Longguo, also returned to Chang'an.
Xiao Yunhai went to the airport to greet him as soon as possible.
"Dad."
Seeing Xiao Hongjing getting off the plane, Xiao Yunhai hurried to greet him.
Xiao Hongjing nodded slightly. The two did not communicate too much, after all, they were at the airport.
Soon, the long convoy left the airport.
"Dad, how is it? I saw in the news that the relationship between the two countries has been upgraded to a comprehensive strategic partnership?"
Before this, the relationship between Xinhan and Longguo was a comprehensive strategic partnership. Although there are two words difference, the meaning is different, which also means that the relationship has been further deepened.
As for why it is an all-weather strategic partnership like Babayang, it is mainly because of the different strategic values.
After all, Babayang has a unique geographical advantage that cannot be compared with Xinhan.
But now it is different. Xinhan, which produces oil, and Xinhan, which does not produce oil, have completely different values.
And there are only three countries that have signed a comprehensive strategic partnership with Longguo, and there are four countries including Xinhan.
Hearing his son's question, Xiao Hongjing smiled and said, "You have also read the news. Well, as you thought, Longguo invested 400 million US dollars and our Xinhan invested 500 million US dollars to establish an oil refining and chemical company in Lanling. We account for 60% and Xinlongguo accounts for 40%!
In addition, the two sides will focus on in-depth economic cooperation. The two sides have cancelled tariff barriers in multiple industries such as electronic products, agricultural products, and medical products. In addition, the two sides have implemented a one-month visa-free policy for business and tourism travel to promote tourism and economic and trade exchanges between the two countries.
In addition, Longguo will also provide us with an airport. Well, the airport is in Lanling, mainly to facilitate exchanges and communication between the two countries. It is estimated that the investment in this airport will reach 260 million US dollars.
In addition, a low-interest loan of 4 billion US dollars was granted."
"It's quite generous. They provided an airport and invested 260 million US dollars. They should be able to build a 4C-level airport."
"It seems that the treatment is different after having oil."
Xiao Yunhai smiled.
I felt relieved. Since Longguo has invested, there is no need to worry about the interference of the Americans. Even if they do something, at most they will instigate the country or encourage neighboring countries such as the Philippines. There are only a few who dare to fight.
Although the military strength of Xinhan is less than 70,000, its combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the Philippines and Java.
The fighting spirit is not inferior to Annan.
And the military equipment is not bad.
Take fighter jets as an example. It is also one of the few countries in Southeast Asia that owns US F16 fighter jets. Although the model is old, there are a lot of them, with a total of 26.
In addition, there are 12 Nordic Gripen JAS-39 fighter jets.
C-130 Hercules transport planes 7.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the Bear, 12 Su-27 fighters and 4 Il-76 transport planes were purchased from the Bear.
Of course, the new Han could not afford it with its national strength, so the royal family subsidized a lot of money when purchasing these weapons and equipment.
The military strength of the Air Force can be said to be the first in Southeast Asia.
Even Lion City and Siam can't catch up.
The navy is much worse.
The army is mainly equipped with British Chivtan main battle tanks, Bear T72 and Prussian Leopard 2 tanks.
Among them, T72 was purchased from the Bear after the Cold War in order to expand the armored force.
The main force is still the Chivtan main battle tank, this main battle tank developed by Britain, with 145 vehicles.
New China was able to buy a lot of European and American weapons, largely because of its position during the Cold War. Secondly, the special nature of the founding of New China was that the founding king married a British princess, who was also the sister of the British Queen.
This created a natural close relationship between New China and Britain.
When the United States launched the Annan War, New China firmly supported the United States.
So it was able to buy a lot of European and American weapons.
So, although New China is a small country and its national strength is not very good, its military strength, except for the navy, the air force and the army, are all top-notch in Southeast Asia.
Hearing his son's teasing, Xiao Hongjing smiled and said, "I'm relieved that you can understand. Remember not to let your emotions get the better of you. What matters between countries is the interests."
"As long as you have enough chips in your hand, people will pay attention to you."
"So, if you want to gain the respect and attention of other countries, you have to work hard to improve your national strength."
"Fortunately, God blesses us, and the time has come. Oil has been discovered in Jeddah Bay, which will greatly enhance our national strength."
"Dad, since the exploration in Jeddah Bay was wrong before, I think we should organize another exploration and go to Brunei Bay for exploration.
Brunei has discovered a lot of oil nearby. It makes no sense that we don't have it here. I suggest that we re-explore the sea area from Brunei Bay to Chang'an. What if the exploration was wrong before? Wouldn't it be a waste of time to make a fortune?"
Xiao Yunhai took the opportunity to push his father to restart the exploration.
In this way, it would be natural to discover the oil he had found in the sea near Jiangdu County.
"Well, you are right. We should restart the exploration."
Xiao Hongjing nodded in agreement.
Before this, he might not have held out hope.
But after the oil was discovered again in Jeddah Bay, he also felt lucky.
What if it was like Jeddah Bay, where the oil was not discovered due to equipment technology and personnel problems?
After all, several oil fields with hundreds of millions of tons were discovered in nearby Boni, so it makes no sense that there would be no oil fields next to Xinhan.
If the most likely place to have oil in Xinhan is the sea area from Boni Bay to Chang'an, in his opinion.
Besides, it won’t cost much to re-explore.
Besides, there is the Jeddah Bay offshore oil field that brings hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue.
So Xiao Hongjing readily agreed to support Xiao Yunhai’s proposal to re-explore.
