the world is at stake

Only by directly pulling a railway from Changchun to Yanbian, then to Hunchun and then to Luojin Port, can we ensure sufficient transportation volume.As for the problem of freezing in winter, you can only board the icebreaker.

In short, it is not easy to build a sea port out of thin air.But as long as there is this port, goods from the Northeast can reach Shanghai in four days from the Sea of ​​Japan.Domestic trade alone keeps the port thriving.

"The railway can be repaired to Hunchun first, and the traffic capacity can be improved by renovating the river. First, [-]-ton ships can detour from the tributaries and enter the Sea of ​​Japan."

There are ministries and commissions in the 'Holy Light' team that specialize in industrial planning and demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme in detail.

"If road transportation is used first, the initial investment will not exceed 20 billion yuan. The waterway can be dredged and the Hunchun Port will be built in two years. The benefits were seen in those years."

"The long-term plan is to build a large port in Rajin, connect the railway and the oil pipeline, and activate the heavy industry in the Northeast in five years."

"For example, the oil fields in Daqing have been exhausted, but the supporting oil industry is difficult to relocate. If an oil pipeline can be connected from the Sea of ​​Japan, it may be more reliable than the foolish An-Da line."

"A single oil industry can provide employment for millions of people. If Anshan Iron and Steel is reorganized in advance so that the steel industry in Northeast China can use high-grade and cheap iron ore from abroad, it will basically stabilize the economy and not be too bad. "

"With that in mind, we should be investing in foreign iron ore resources now. Africa and South America deserve more attention."

It is always exciting to discuss the prospect, as if everything is going well and nothing but the wind.But the specific process requires a lot of meticulous work, plus a lot of investment.

Moreover, according to the newly revised "China-North Korea Mutual Assistance and Friendship Treaty", China reserves the right to build a military port in Rajin, laying the groundwork for deploying nuclear submarines in the Sea of ​​Japan.

In addition to the South China Sea, China can have one more fortress in the sea.

Chapter 61 Unstoppable

In August 01, the PLA Navy's '167' 'Shenzhen Ship' took the 'Zheng He' training ship and the '521' frigate through the Tsushima Strait and entered the Sea of ​​Japan, preparing for a five-day visit to North Korea's Wonsan Port. Friendly visit.

The "Shenzhen Ship" formation did not go to the west of North Korea in the Yellow Sea area, but entered the Sea of ​​Japan to the east of North Korea where the US, Japan and South Korea are heavily armed, and will conduct joint exercises with the North Korean navy in the Wonsan waters.

The domestic media did not report much on this, but this unconventional 'friendly visit' has aroused widespread concern from other parties in Northeast Asia.

When the "Shenzhen Ship" formation passed through the strait, Japan and South Korea sent their own destroyers to follow, and anti-submarine aircraft flew back and forth in the sky.Media reports also made up stories that PLA nuclear submarines entered the Sea of ​​Japan together underwater.

In distant Moscow, Martha from the 'Holy Alliance' just hung up the phone, glanced at the TV set in the office, and quietly watched the 'Shenzhen ship' sailing through the Tsushima Strait which was being broadcast live by the Japanese media.

The Japanese reacted violently to this incident, like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed, buzzing non-stop.In their view, the Sea of ​​Japan is Japan's territory, and PLA's move is tantamount to provocation, which must be countered.

NHK invited the retired officers of "Hai Zi" to discuss how much force would be needed to sink these three warships, and a further step would be how many hours would it take to destroy the current PLA navy?

After listening to the chattering Japanese for a few minutes, Martha couldn't help but sneered and turned off the TV.

She knew that it would not be long before the PLA Navy would start desperately building ships, and the size of the fleet would expand like a balloon, only the US Navy could match in terms of quantity and quality.

In the process of being overtaken, Japan will have some stress reactions of jumping feet.

But now that the 'Holy Light' team has appeared, and the J-[-]s have been exposed two years in advance, the development of national power will definitely be faster and stronger than in the original history.In a few years, Japan will shut up even faster.

Katya stood behind Martha. This American NGO-born intelligence officer didn't know much about military strength and asked suspiciously, "Why does Victor insist on that outlet? It doesn't seem wise to deploy a navy in the Sea of ​​Japan."

Martha shook her head, and said in a deep voice: "It has been almost two years since this time-space reversal, and all the teams have completed their adaptation to the current world and are ready to change history.

You only see these three not-so-advanced warships entering the Sea of ​​Japan, but behind them is a major breakthrough in the development of the PLA navy, and it is also a change in China's national policy, which is very meaningful.

It's like 'Voyage in the Gulf of Aden' let PLA know what is called the world navy.Long-term overseas deployment is the best exercise, which can greatly expand military thinking, exercise will, and test equipment.

I guess the PLA Navy will be stationed in the Sea of ​​Japan in the future, using the U.S., Japanese and South Korean navies as a sharpening stone to train its own team and make manpower preparations in advance for future fleet expansion.

Facing powerful opponents can greatly stimulate the development of the army, and any outdated old ideas will be quickly eliminated.China's military reform should be advanced. "

Kajia was still puzzled, "So China will really put nuclear submarines in that bathtub?"

"Bathtub?" Martha sneered and asked, "Who told you that the Sea of ​​Japan is a bathtub? It is a sea area with an average water depth of more than 700 meters and an area of ​​nearly one million square kilometers.

You must know that South Korea is only 40 square kilometers, and Japan is nearly [-] square kilometers.How can a sea area twice as large as Japan and South Korea combined be a bathtub? "

"But Japan's anti-submarine capabilities are very strong." Kajia said seriously, "There are many anti-submarine aircraft and underwater listening arrays. Chinese nuclear submarines should go to the South China Sea."

Martha laughed even more.

"At the current point of time, the South China Sea is an amusement park for US nuclear submarines, with US anti-submarine aircraft and underwater listening arrays all over the US. PLA's nuclear submarines can't even stay in the South China Sea.

Both national development and military building require a long-term perspective.The fortress sea area of ​​​​nuclear submarines must be built step by step. It is impossible to suddenly appear a good sea area that no one pays attention to for you to use.

China's construction of the South China Sea as a fortress started in the 80s with stilt houses, and it officially started after the new century. It took nearly 40 years to build islands and reefs and survey hydrology. The process was extremely difficult.

Now North Korea has become a breakthrough for the PLA navy, and the conditions are much better than in the past.Isn't it too much to spend 30 years building a fortress in the Sea of ​​Japan? PLA nuclear submarines have multiple hiding places, occupying the space of Japan and South Korea, and the Americans should be the ones who should be troubled. "

Katya pursed her lips, but still couldn't agree.

But Martha asked back: "You just came back from Afghanistan and told me about the layout of the 'Holy Light' in Central Asia? Victor has been involved there for almost a year, how much did he lose?"

Katya frowned even more at this, "If I say that 'Holy Light' didn't lose money, but made a small profit, do you believe it?"

"Can you still make money?" This was beyond Martha's expectation. "In the poor place with harsh environment in Central Asia, can 'Holy Light' make money?"

Katya nodded and said: "When I was ordered to go to Central Asia to meet Victor, the train stopped at Kashgar Station with a bang, and I saw a thousand or two thousand farmers with backpacks and buckets coming down.

I can't understand their accents. I only know that they are from inland China, they speak loudly, they don't listen to greetings very much, and the scene is chaotic.

I have paid attention to this group. Those farmers are generally older, less educated, women make up the majority, and it is impossible to go to the coast to find a job.

They usually farm in their hometown, and go out to do odd jobs in their free time.For example, if you come to Xinjiang to pick cotton, you can earn [-] US dollars in two or three months, which is a very good income.

'Holy Light' developed Central Asia and recruited a large number of farmers from inland China.I saw with my own eyes someone at the station shouting on a loudspeaker to guide them out of the platform.

These people usually rest in Kashgar for a few days, conduct training for about half a month, and then go abroad to Kyrgyzstan and other places by bus or plane.

'Holy Light' accommodated a group of wandering chosen ones.Those guys invest, and the Central Asian farms and ranches implemented by the 'Holy Light' are built by those farmers.The 'Kyrgyz' with the best natural conditions has become the focus of construction. "

What Katya said made Martha frown.

'Kyrgyz' has an area of ​​nearly 20 square kilometers, a temperate continental climate, mild and humid, and a population of less than 600 million. In contrast, Henan has an area of ​​only 16 square kilometers and a population of almost [-] million.

"So 'Holy Light' is trying to emigrate in Central Asia?"

"'Kyrgyz' is only willing to give about [-] labor visas. However, the borders of Central Asian countries are basically useless. 'Holy Light' can buy customs and border defense for a small amount of money, and there is no problem in getting millions of people to pass.

These people are currently mainly engaged in animal husbandry with low investment. After two or three years, they will be able to provide China with tens of millions of cattle and sheep, dairy products and textile raw materials.

In addition, the market in Central Asia is now almost occupied by various commodities from China.Generators, motorcycles, textiles, home appliances, toys, building materials, books, everything.

Central Asian businessmen drive Chinese-made three-wheeled motorcycles or small trucks, pulling goods around. 'Holy Light' specializes in buying cost-effective goods in exchange for local cattle, sheep and minerals.

For remote places, 'Holy Light' will even be transported by plane.Although the profit margin is less than three percent.But Victor didn't want to make a profit at all, he just wanted to sell goods. "

When it comes to the business strategy of 'Sacred Light', Martha has a deeper insight, "What Victor did was to revive the Chinese economy. As long as the goods circulate, the purpose will be achieved."

Central Asia has a population of 7000 million and basically no industrialization.Now we have to add North Korea's population of more than 2000 million, which is also very low in industrialization.These people are poor, but that doesn't mean they have no purchasing power.

The 'Holy Light' team is willing to make any money in order to provide employment for nearly 13 billion people in China.

If Central Asia is willing to raise sheep, let it work hard.More than one billion people are looking forward to eating lamb chops.

For a country like North Korea that is still relatively ambitious, it should lend it RMB loans.The money will soon flow back to China in the form of purchases.

This is a bit like Japan's yen loans to China back then, and it's also a bit like the US' Marshall Plan. In short, try to stimulate the economy.

"Can we learn?" Katya asked.

Martha let out a long sigh, "How do we learn? It would be nice if we can stabilize Ukraine." She also pointed to the phone on the table, "Just now the bureaucrats in Moscow rejected my proposal and were unwilling to cooperate with 'Holy Light' in the Far East. .

I reminded them of the continuing population loss in the Far East, but those idiots in turn warned me not to get too close to the Chinese.The oligarchs only know how to sell oil, I wish I could kill them all. "

In the sigh is full of disgust and hatred for the pig teammates.

Martha is complaining about the difficulties in her work, and the "Shenzhen Ship" passing through the Tsushima Strait is gradually approaching the waters of Wonsan.The Japanese and South Korean warships did not keep up, and the North Korean Navy sent two frigates to meet them.

Beibang's naval vessels were basically imported from the Soviet Union and China in the early years, and after decades of use, they have become tattered—to use a nice word, they are called 'with strong traces of history'.

The Jin family gritted their teeth and made some gunboats and submarines. This is the limit of their capabilities, so don't think too much about the others.

The "Shenzhen ship" is now known as the "China's first ship", which is the embodiment of China's early 90s technological level. The PLA sailors lined up on the ship, showing their 'valiant and heroic' and 'powerful and domineering'.

The small follower behind the "Shenzhen ship", the 053H3 frigate '521' was launched only two or three years ago, and it seems to be an incomparable modern ship for the North Korean army.

Mark Keshi was also watching the new actions of the PLA Navy in South Korea, and he also saw media reports on nuclear submarines.O'Sullivan paced back and forth in front of him, cursing angrily: "If this is true, the United States will not hesitate to fight."

The old horse raised his eyelids and said disdainfully: "It's just a friendly visit between the two armies. Can you convince the master of the Congress to start a war for this matter? You are not the speaker of the Congress."

"But China can send warships today, and build a military base in the east of North Korea tomorrow." O'Sullivan continued to growl, "'Holy Light' has gained access to the sea."

Marcos pointed to the newspaper, "The official publicity is that it is an economic development zone. You have no reason to prevent 'Shengguang' from building a civilian port."

"But China will eventually build it. It is attacking, it is encroaching, and it is squeezing the space for the United States. We must stop it now."

Mar Keshi finally got impatient, "Idiot, what are you going to do to stop it? The masters of Congress won't listen to you at all, they are busy doing business with China themselves."

"Tumen River Estuary"

Author's Note: Pay attention to the 'Fangchuan' at the top of the picture, it is the closest place between China and the Sea of ​​Japan.The winding road connected to it is the Tumen River.Below Fangchuan, North Korea is on the left and Russia is on the right.There is a 'North Korea-Russia Friendship Railway Bridge', just a little below Fangchuan.From the picture, Fangchuan is very close to Japan, and there is a natural lake in the middle that can be used. The amount of work to dig a new estuary is really not that big.I really look at the sea and sigh.

Chapter 62

After inspecting the estuary of the Tumen River in North Korea, Zhou Qingfeng arrived in Changchun by helicopter.He is not needed for the follow-up matters, which will naturally be resolved by Chinese and North Korean professionals.

The farce of the coup d'etat in North Korea is over, and those who 'engage in the party and government' asked him to take a good rest.The original words are: "Even if you find hundreds of girls to have children, don't make trouble anymore."

Zhou Qingfeng was bored and planned to visit the three northeastern provinces.Now is the painful period of mass layoffs, and the Northeast's economy has collapsed.State-owned enterprises went bankrupt one after another, and the families of employees were suffering.

Taking a taxi around the street, there are middle-aged men and women looking for work everywhere.Everyone holds a sign in their hand, which says 'clean the glass, do the cleaning, and paint' or something like that.

The weather is fine tomorrow, so you can go shopping, and the people who shop are depressed.

Going to the street to eat, others eat chicken racks, Zhou Qingfeng's big bowl of beef.For this reason, the restaurant was full of people staring at him.The boss came to serve him personally.

Then I went out and walked for less than 200 meters, and a few big brothers wearing 'big gold chains' surrounded me and slaughtered 'fat sheep from other places' - the other party wanted to teach Zhou Qingfeng a 'lesson', but his expression was numb Not angry, just full of sorrow.

What I saw along the way was an elderly man riding a three-wheeler to deliver goods to others, a parent with a child setting up a fruit stand on the side of the road, a coquettishly dressed young woman asking Zhou Qingfeng to stay in a hotel, and a newly opened entertainment place gathering crowds drug.

But do you want to say that the Northeast is the most bitter?Not quite.

Zhou Qingfeng beat people's skulls with an iron hammer last year, traveling all over the country.Industrial and mining enterprises in Northeast China suffer, but are farmers in Henan suffering?Is the desertified countryside in Ningxia, Shaanxi suffering?Is it bitter in the deep mountains and old forests of Yunguichuan?

It's all bitter, it's unspeakable.

Getting rid of some corrupt officials cannot be said to have not solved the problem, but it will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

This time, those who "engage in the party and government" have spoken first, and Zhou Qingfeng is not allowed to do anything randomly.He even broke the leg of the local ruffian who was blocking the road and robbed him, and he endured not wanting the other party's life.

After a day of shopping, I returned to the hotel and turned on the TV to watch the local news. The first thing was that the food system was corrupt. Something happened to the 50 tons of low-priced food that was sent to North Korea, and the food on the books disappeared.

As expected.

Immediately afterwards, the host broadcast a new policy 'the Internet is not a place outside the law, freedom of speech is not freedom of spreading rumors'.

Pfft... Zhou Qingfeng was drinking soda, and spit it all out in one gulp—has the Internet real-name control started so early?

The news happened to be about a case of corruption in the Northeast food system, but the person who was arrested was a Peking University professor.The latter posted a series of posts on the Internet, so-called "revealing and exposing" the corruption nest case, the content of which was true or false.

Now that the government's credit has plummeted, the common people almost unconditionally believe in this kind of public "exposure".Because they have encountered a large number of similar incidents in real life, and they have become accustomed to it.

The next day, Zhou Qingfeng went out to eat out again.A few Northeast men at the next table were chatting about this matter, scolding the government one-sidedly, feeling that good people who speak for the common people are being suppressed.

"Aren't the officials particularly bad now?" Uncle Zhou leaned over and asked the boss to serve some meat dishes and two bottles of good wine.

Zhou Qingfeng's accent is not from the Northeast.But some people take the initiative to treat guests, and the men in the Northeast are not afraid.A few people at the table opened the bottle generously, filled the glasses, and started chatting.

"Bad, of course it's broken." A man raised his head and drank a glass, and said indignantly: "My old aunt used to work in a state-run hotel, she was laid off in her fifties, and now she can only sweep the streets, and only 500 yuan a month.

It's so uncomfortable to go out to sweep snow early in the winter, and the wind blows like a knife.But even the 500 yuan was taken into consideration, and wages were deducted if the scan was not good.Can the official now be a good person? "

The common people have bitterness in their hearts. When one person speaks, everyone agrees.

"Then what if you become an official?" Zhou Qingfeng asked again.

The person who was asked was stunned immediately, and then raised his voice and shouted: "Damn it, don't let me become an official. If I become an official, I will be greedy too.

Now who is an official, who is not greedy?Those who are not corrupt will not be good officials.The bigger the official, the more greed.If I am greedy enough, I will emigrate abroad.It is impossible for the police to go abroad to arrest me. "

Although this truth is crooked, it won the applause of the other people at the table, as if everyone thought so.Zhou Qingfeng also laughed, he didn't drink himself, but grabbed the wine bottle and filled it up for several people.

This person both hates corrupt officials, envies them and wishes to become corrupt officials, very much like those house slaves in Hong Kong who were squeezed by Li Cucumber.This is a manifestation of the distortion of the entire social ecology.

The restaurant is not big, and the boss felt very emotional when he heard it. He sent a bunch of edamame, and sat at the table to talk about the hardships of his own business.What about industry and commerce, taxation, fire protection and sanitation, as long as people come, they will be inspected, and they will be fined for inspection.

"It's not something that can be paid by a few packs of cigarettes. You can only choose between public or private. If you are private, you can pay less fines, but the money will go into the pockets of those bastards." The restaurant owner was angry when he said it, and shot Table scolding.

Alas, I had a good table of food, and I was full of anger at the end of the meal.

By the time there are only scraps left on the table and empty wine bottles, it's getting late.

The few strangers at the table also dispersed, and the anger of pointing the country disappeared immediately after being blown by the cold wind in the street, and continued to humblely ponder how to earn money to survive.

Zhou Qingfeng really has nothing to do, and he is used to walking around alone, wandering around the streets and alleys every day.If you are tired from shopping, you will stay near the hotel and find a restaurant to fill your stomach.

No one in the market knew that this man was a super rich man with a net worth of 400 billion U.S. dollars. From the accent, he thought he was a rich guy from the south with a generous hand.Occasionally someone asked him about his background, but he smiled and did not answer.

After half a month of messing around like this, Zhou Qingfeng walked into a noodle restaurant he often goes to.As soon as he sat down, the boss prepared two catties of stewed beef, a large bowl of mutton noodles, and fried a few eggs.
