Chapter 1534: Unintentional Willow Insertion

Kuala Lumpur is close to the Strait of Malacca, on the same side as Phuket, and Genting is close to the other side, on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand, closer to the drilling block that Zhao Jing and they fabricated, so it is normal for him to bring these officials here, standing on the side like a dog's leg at this time, wanting to interject but not daring, in short, he can only watch Buck and the other party gossip about these inconsequential things.

As a person who knows a little about foreign project policies, Zhao Jing knows about the Diamond Canal project, Buck doesn't know very well, and thinks it's a big project, so he asks a few more words: "Why is this project impossible from Thailand's point of view?"

This is not a very confidential matter, the director of the Ministry of Construction is in charge of this part: "Of course, it is very important and beneficial to China, but what about Thailand? Just charge some tolls? It costs about 400,000 US dollars per boat to go to Singapore, saving 3~5 days, so the toll can't be higher than this price, right?" This is not comparable with the cost and time saved by the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, no matter how expensive those two places are, it is better than going around in a big circle, and digging the canal costs tens of billions of dollars, and it is really a matter of year and month to collect tolls and recover the costs, and it is really a good deed for China in vain? Moreover, there is no such large amount of money to invest in this matter in China, and if China is allowed to invest, let China collect tolls? What is the difference between this and the Panama Canal being controlled by the United States for decades? This kind of loss of sovereignty is to be overthrown by the people! ”

Buck suddenly realized, dare to love the efforts of the relevant departments of Huaguo are working in vain?

It's not over yet, the major general of the Southern Military Region also has his own opinion: "In our opinion, money is still a trivial matter, the point is that the Malay Peninsula is cut through a canal in this way, and the Malay Peninsula is not a peninsula, and the land that has been divided is ruled across the river...... What should I do if I want to be independent and self-governing? This area is originally a complex ethnic and religious area, and after separation, ...... will be separated and he will shake his head and shrug his shoulders, and without further explanation, Buck can also understand that the small piece divided by the canal is connected to Malaysia, and it is either easier to become independent or easy to be assimilated and annexed by Malaysia.

At this time, even Zhao Jing, who was standing behind, nodded secretly, it turned out that this was the case.

If Buck is really a mature agent or spy, it is estimated that he will ask the other party who is the decision-maker, and help the relevant departments of China to find the key points of tackling the fortifications, although there are so many difficulties, but the matter is man-made, the Panama Canal was not good for Panama at all, the United States did not do it, and the Suez Canal played an important role in the colonial history of France and Britain, all of which were beneficial to the powerful countries.

But Buck didn't have this kind of brain, so he purely gossiped and chatted: "How simple is this, even if you open a canal, you don't need to separate it, make a dock sluice, connect the two sides with a dam, and you can also generate electricity......"

Really, Buck is really talking nonsense, who told him to grow up in Yuqing? The two giant dams inside and outside the Three Gorges over there impressed him too deeply, and he also followed Liu Shufen to participate in a teacher's tour, and experienced the magic of lifting and moving ships in the giant dock locks......

That's right, the two famous dams near his hometown do connect the two sides widely, but there is a large difference between the river water, not the sea, and the sea level on the Phuket side of the Malay Peninsula and the sea level on the Gulf of Thailand side will theoretically not have much difference.

But the major general was very interested when he heard it: "Really?"

Buck said nonsense: "Yes, there are a lot of such cases...... think about it, but I still didn't say the two in my hometown: "There are many such cases in the former Soviet Union, the dam is connected as if the land is not separated, dozens of meters or even hundreds of meters wide, and the dam you know, the section is trapezoidal, and the bottom is wider ......" Not to mention, there is really a Russian girl who answered: "That's it...... Well, the Panama Canal is a fourth-class lock, with a drop of 23 meters on both sides, and several parts are almost not separated. Buck asked curiously, yes, this girl studied hydraulic architecture in Siberia!

Buck suddenly had the idea of quickly shutting up, so as not to goof, but the Thai officials came to the momentum, and when they asked what was going on, Buck grabbed a sticky note with a sign and drew a trapezoidal dam on it, with a wide sidewalk and roadway, and in order to show that it was really wide, he even whimsically drew a train on it!

Ye Mingjing knew her husband's painting skills, and he liked to show off when he painted badly, so when he stretched out his head and looked at it, he beckoned the girl from the Russian water conservancy construction to come and help redraw one, so as not to lose the face of the rising star of the Malaysian architect!

The girl came over and saw the big boss's hand-painted, and sure enough, her beautiful face twitched, and she just wanted to reach out to help, but the major general and the others couldn't wait to take it!

Well, maybe the mung bean is against the king, and the fat officials can understand this messy hand-drawing, and discuss the details with Buck, and Ye Mingjing will smoke with the girl.

Buck was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that this canal is impossible, why do you ask so carefully?"

Who would have thought that those officials looked at each other and smiled, and knowingly stuffed the sticky notes into their pockets and whispered: "We can make up another plan, so that the Chinese people can believe that they really come to invest!"

The voice was indeed small, only Buck and a few officials heard it, and the other party laughed, and one of them smiled and patted Buck on the shoulder: "If it can really be done, it will have to be at least a matter of millions of dollars, and maybe you will be asked to be an architect to explain the plan...... After all, it's your original."

This Thai people still pay a lot of attention to intellectual property rights!

Buck could only resist the twitching on his face and laugh along.

At this moment, the carved door of Cocoa sounded softly, and Ekarina, who was wearing a hot short skirt corset, jumped in cutely: "I heard you so happy when I passed by, why don't you just take a group photo together!" Holding a mirrorless camera in his hand, it was clear that Wu Mengxi had arranged for him to take a photo of Buck at the right time.

The nine-tailed fox, who thought of having no last resort, didn't expect that it was just a fake scene arranged by Buck to be turned into this appearance, right?

Fortunately, the Russian girls had already got a hint when they thought about it, and immediately laughed and coaxed, and Buck took the initiative to pull a few officials to take a group photo together, and several other officials of the oil system were a little lower-level, and they were also called by Buck to stand together, but they looked red and honored.

Wu Mengxi arranged it well, knowing that Buck didn't like to deal with officials, Ekalina came over to stir things up, and she came to invite the officials to the ball again, and got things done and let Buck get out.

At this point, Buck knew that something was going on and asked his wife, "Do you think I should report this news directly to the authorities, or what should I do?"

Wu Mengxi was really a little surprised: "The matter of the Diamond Canal is well known in Phuket, so I thought that this matter would be hyped up, and you would also get involved, and when the time came, you could fool these officials who were so happy, but I didn't expect to find out this layer...... "I pondered for a while: "In fact, the thoughts of these Thai people may not be unknown to the relevant parties in China, but your unintentional suggestion...... You can use it. ”
