Chapter 587: Maritime Strategy

"The South China Sea is our gateway, we can't lose it......" After a while, the old man muttered: "They set off firecrackers in front of our house, what are they going to do?"

Ren Chongyuan said angrily: "The Americans are worried about us for more than a day or two, chief, they dare to and pee in the South China Sea casually, then don't blame us for cheating his legs!"

"The third leg?" Ye Fan sneered and took over.

"You kid!" Ren Chongyuan almost sprayed him in the face with a mouthful of old blood.

In front of the No. 1 leader, Ye Fan didn't give the military god any face, and said coldly: "If you don't have that strength, you still have to talk big, old man, I advise you to be a little more restrained, and don't sink into the sea with an old bone." ”

"You!" Ren Chongyuan was breathless, in front of Chairman Yang, he really couldn't get angry, his face was red, and his military uniform crackled in the sea breeze.

Lin Yuxiang and Gu Hao shrunk their necks, and they didn't dare to come out. dare to quarrel in front of the chairman, third brother, you are too good!

"The ancestors said, the Tao is different, do not conspire with each other, we have dealt with Japan and the United States for dozens or hundreds of years, some time ago Japan lost face, and now it seems that the master behind it can't hold back. The old man put his hands behind his back and said, "I'm afraid that the pool of water in the South China Sea is going to get muddy and muddy!"

The four people around were silent, Ren Chongyuan glared at Ye Fan, Xiangzi and Gu Hao didn't dare to express their opinions, but Ye Fan refused to take the bait.

"Xiao Ye, what do you think?" he didn't express his opinion, but the old man took the initiative to come to the door.

What young man has the privilege of being asked by him personally about national affairs?

Ye Fan shook his head and smiled: "I don't have a view, I believe that the country will be able to handle these affairs well." ”

"You're right, it's best if you can solve it diplomatically. The old man had a special meaning in his eyes, and said lightly: "The working group of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has set off for Thailand, and I believe that they can open up the situation." ”

Hearing these words, Ye Fan's eyes flashed!

The task force headed by Wen Wanting turned out to deal with this matter!

I have to say that the skills of people who play power are really too clever, orders of magnitude higher than ordinary people. From this, he finally saw the fact that nothing could be hidden from the old man in front of him, and perhaps, the affair between him and Wen Wanting in private had already reached Yang Chongyan's ears.

"The times create heroes, you young people, you must look a little farther and longer!" As soon as the words changed, the old man smiled and waved his hand: "Not only Asia, the world is your stage." Let's go, let's see the broken army!"

This seems to be a simple and representative teaching, but no one can really grasp what it means.

However, in this short ten-minute walk and conversation, the future of Gu Hao and Lin Yuxiang has set a tone.

Outside the ward, through the glass window, the old man's deep gaze stared at the figure on the hospital bed, the sickly pale cheeks.

"Chief, it's time to go, and I have to meet the speaker of the French parliament in the afternoon......" the secretary reminded softly as he stood behind him.

"Good, good ......"

The old man's tall back faded into the corridor, and the quiet sanatorium came alive again.

"Oh, mom, Brother Hao, I'm not dreaming, am I?" Lin Yuxiang wiped the sweat drops from his head and said, "Quick, you pinch me." ”

Gu Hao laughed, and immediately, a miserable scream sounded in the hall.

"Old man Ren, tell me clearly, what's going on in the South China Sea!" After another treatment, Ye Fan pulled Ren Zhongyuan and pulled him to the end of the corridor, and stood by the window against the sea breeze.

"Little rabbit, now that I think about it, I asked, what was the fool you were pretending to be just now?"

"Don't say it, don't say it, never say it. ”

"Yo, it's still hard, stinky boy!" Ren Chongyuan said happily: "Okay, for the sake of your hard work, I'll tell you! ”

"Singapore, what's the matter with Singapore?"

The military god crooked his mouth and said: "Hey, if you don't learn and don't know how to do it, let me ask you, why did Singapore become developed?"

"Why should I care about it, old fellow!" Ye Fan hates playing dumb riddles the most, if he knows everything, he still needs to ask?

"Shipping!" The god of war gave a thumbs up, his face straightened, and he said with a straight face: "More than 80 percent of the shipping of East Asian countries by sea goes through Singapore, because it controls the Strait of Malacca! Including the Far East of Japan, South Korea, and even Russia, goods entering and leaving from Africa and Europe used to go through the narrow waterway of Malacca. When you open the world map, the first thing you see is that there seems to be no other way out. As soon as Malacca is strangled, the world will be in chaos. ”

"Continue?"

"Since the 90s of the last century, Singapore has rapidly developed into the world's largest port by relying on the geographical advantages brought by shipping. You should know that the logistics industry drives not only trade, but also finance, services, commerce, resources and so on...... Singapore's strategic location is even more important than Japan's in the eyes of its backstage bosses. However, since last year, this has changed. ”

"Has anyone overtaken it?" Ye Fan guessed the point.

"Not bad!" Ren Chongyuan showed an excited look, waved his hand and said: "Based on the take-off of the domestic economic aggregate and the effect of the Yangtze River Delta city circle, although the natural geographical conditions of Songshi are not as good as Singapore, it is better than the quantity to catch up with the quality, and the container throughput has caught up with Singapore. At the same time, we are actively developing routes between the Arctic Ocean and Indonesia in the South Pacific, and we are trying our best to get rid of our dependence on Malacca, which has caused some countries to panic!"

Ye Fan seemed to understand something, nodded and said, "Well, the bully can't collect protection money, so he will naturally jump over the wall in a hurry and show his big stick." It is strange that you cut off other people's means of wealth, and they do not do anything. ”

"You're right! Po Jun went to Indonesia some time ago to complete a mission, and I don't know what happened on the way back, when our border soldiers found her in the Mekong River, it was what you saw last night. ”

"What are you doing in Indonesia? Not the Philippines?"

"Assist in the negotiation of sea routes to Indonesia. In order to ensure the secrecy of the Beidou members' itinerary, Manila is just a cover. Ren Chongyuan sighed, even so, the broken army still encountered an accident.

Lighting a cigarette, Ye Fan took two puffs, looked through the smoke, and said slowly: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs went to Thailand to investigate this matter, right?"

Ren Zhongyuan looked at him deeply, this kid is becoming more and more shrewd!

"Count you ruthless. The god of the army smiled, "Of course not, the military department of the people who broke the army has its own judgment, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took advantage of this incident to go to Thailand, on the one hand, to exert pressure on the Thai side, and on the other hand, to promote another major event." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Cooperate in the development of the canal!" said the god of war.

"Canals, which are also part of the maritime strategy?"

"Of course!" replied arrogantly: "Once the Clark Canal in Thailand is successfully opened, all ships will go directly to Yunnan via the Indian Ocean, shortening their voyages by more than 1,000 kilometers and saving three to seven days on their sea journeys, and the economic benefits thus will be in the trillions of dollars! The trade of the 15 countries in Southeast Asia will be stimulated, a transportation hub with China as the core will be created, and the Strait of Malacca will be completely reduced to a second Mauritius!

Ren Zhongyuan's cruel words have historical roots, when the United States manipulated the abandoned aircraft carrier that Turkey had forbidden China to buy through its strait, and as a result, the fleet had to make a detour halfway around the world, and the voyage took several months to reach the port. The Strait of Malacca is also a fortress secretly controlled by the United States, which has been firmly choking the throat of the whole of Asia, and in the future, the Clark Canal will completely break this situation, change Asia, and change the world!

At that time, just as the geographical advantages of the Suez Canal have made Mauritius a desert island, the Clark Canal will also cause Singapore's economy to decline sharply, fundamentally shaking the voice and control of the United States in Asia.

In fact, before this, the maritime negotiations with Indonesia had failed, and most of the countries in Southeast Asia that did not border the territory of China were out of the same nostril as Lao and the United States. This incident directly advanced the progress of Huaxia's strategic decision-making by several years.

Finally, Ye Fan knew the beginning and end of the army-breaking operation, and also knew why Wen Wanting went.

The contest between the two big powers across the Pacific Ocean, light and dark, right and wrong, involves a wide range of things, and the intentions are ruthless, it is really full of dangers and draws wages from the bottom of the kettle!

The South China Sea, which is full of contradictions and crises, will inevitably set off a bloody storm, and the wrestling between giants will compete with who can bind the dragon?
