Through the base transfer in the frozen space, Qi Yiming returned to the main base again. He originally wanted to inspect several other sub-bases, or go sightseeing in Myanmar and Afghanistan, but his personal information reminded that Jacqueline had returned to the main base, so he had to go see her as soon as possible. .
The two people who had not seen each other for a long time did not speak when they met. Jacqueline, who was like a lioness, immediately relied on her strong physical fitness to push back Qi Yiming, who was about to become a petty boy. Qi Yiming could only helplessly and happily relieve Jacqueline's long-term lovesickness, and then the two could have a good talk.
"How was the mission? Did it go well?"
Jacqueline huddled in Qi Yiming's arms. She no longer looked as fierce as before, but instead looked like a lazy kitten licking her paws and squinting her eyes. She replied: "They are just scum, what kind of waves can they make? It's easy to deal with, but some methods have been used. As for the Sri Lankan side, the LTTE has not encountered a truly organized army and has been defeated. However, I think the real source of the conflict in Sri Lanka has not been solved. If there are no tigers, there can still be fierce bears and mammoths.¡±
Qi Yiming nodded, deeply convinced that his plan for Sri Lanka was just a matter of convenience. If he did it well, it would be the icing on the cake. If he didn't do it well, there would be no big problem. Along the entire Indian Ocean coast, he is really implementing another strategy called the "South Asian String of Pearls" by some strategic scholars, which is to form a chain of naval base control in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Seychelles and other places. , forming relatively strong military pressure throughout the Indian Ocean. This string of pearls strategy will not be as targeted at China and the Soviet Union as the first island chain. Its main purpose is not to suppress Ah San, but to protect its energy lifeline in the Indian Ocean region of South Asia.
In Qi Yiming¡¯s vision, the rapid development of the country¡¯s economy is based on sufficient energy resources, especially foreign energy imports, which must be more secure than the other side. Before he can start collecting shale gas, the external energy channel is mainly divided into several large blocks. Thirty percent of the energy comes from the South China Sea, mainly from offshore oil extraction in Xisha, the coast of the Malay Peninsula, and the coast of Brunei. These can basically be equivalent to domestic supply. Because the control is relatively strong, it is the safest.
Then there are the oil and gas resources from the Middle East. These oil and gas resources come from the Persian Gulf or North Africa, which rely heavily on China's military presence and deterrence in the Indian Ocean. Qi Yiming often heard people say before crossing that China is a beneficiary of the international order. Those who want to follow the United States to enjoy prosperity and prosperity are certainly trying to put money in the face of the United States and are wishful thinking. However, if South Asia is really not peaceful, China will definitely not be able to maintain a safe place on its own. Naturally, there is no big cold rain in the other world.
Oil from the Middle East can come to China through three routes, one is the northwest oil pipeline from Gwadar, the other is the southwest oil and gas pipeline from Madeh, Kyaukpyu in Myanmar to Yunnan, and the third is the normal oil tanker passage through the Malacca Strait and The South China Sea comes to the coast of China. The significance of these three pipelines is not obvious now, but when China's economic aggregate triples again, the demand for resources will increase significantly, then the hope for these pipelines will be great. The other dimension is basically reorienting the current demand. For quite some time, China¡¯s energy channels have been stuck. At this time, Qi Yiming is planning ahead and must create a safer and more diversified energy source. path.
Then there are the Western Oil and Gas Line and the Northern Oil and Gas Line. The west mainly comes from oil and gas from countries such as Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan in Central Asia, and the north naturally comes from Russia. At this time, naturally these places all have a common name, the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union has not completely collapsed. The 1986 border war made the recovery of Sino-Soviet relations much slower than that of U.S-Soviet relations. Until this time, there were no detailed arrangements for the meeting between the leaders of the two countries. Gorbachev, the evil king, seemed to have beaten the rabbit family to the bear. But I didn't pay anything to be upset.
However, as long as the Soviet Union disintegrates according to the normal historical process, according to Qi Yiming's grand future plan, in the future he will be able to control the oil supply in the West and the North as well as the South China Sea oil, so such activities have begun to be controlled by the Strategic Bureau. Experts are preparing intensively and will be able to implement it when the time is right.
At present, the main domestic oil supply basically comes from several major oil fields that have increased production through technological transformation. Qi Yiming knows that these oil fields are not enough, but they are still considerable. There are also many untapped oil and gas resources in the country. He I don't plan to get on the horse in such a hurry. Look, the American emperors all buy oil and put it into natural caves as reserves. However, oil fields that have been exploited for so many years will actually still produce oil twenty or thirty years later, but less oil will be produced. Qi Yiming wanted to simply continue mining. After all, these oil fields can train many industry workers. In the future, China's industrial capabilities will be exported to the world, and it will still rely on these people.
Among the many oil and gas input channels, the northwest line of Gwadar is under construction relatively quickly. Previously, due to military aid and other economic investments, projects have been launched, such as the China-Pakistan Railway from Gwadar to Kashgar andThe popular oil and gas pipelines are expected to be put into use within three to four years at the earliest. Among them, Qi Yiming and the base naturally promoted it. The opening of the northwest line was conducive to revitalizing the economy of the northwest region and driving the common prosperity of the mainland. Qi Yiming naturally took it as an important matter.
"You did a good job in Sri Lanka. I heard that you also had some conflicts with India's Asan. India later declared Westwood an illegal organization and restricted your activities in India." Qi Yiming asked with a smile.
Jacqueline curled her lips, rested her head on a jade arm, held a strand of blond hair in one jade hand and gently scratched Qi Yiming's chest, saying: "Originally, we didn't plan to have any deep friendship with India. Just a bunch of idiots who think too highly of themselves.¡±
Qi Yiming grabbed her cattails and said with a smile: "Then I heard that you made trouble and then ran away."
Jacqueline defended: "I don't want to cause trouble. If we could, our Ximu people would kill the Indian Asan stationed in Sri Lanka in minutes."
This is not a lie. Qi Yiming spared no effort in supporting Ximu, and India's military strength at this time was not as good as that of later generations. A wave of attacks by Ximu's elite soldiers might be able to disperse the Indians.
"By the way, the company now has some reputation, and some people have applied for our services through some channels, but most of them go to Africa, Latin America and other places to work as bodyguards for VIPs. I think although it is very fragmented, it is very important to improve those Scum's ability is still somewhat helpful. Furthermore, Ximu is unlikely to frequently participate in war-scale conflicts, which will attract the attention of some forces. "
Qi Yiming nodded, but teased: "You have already exposed an amphibious ship, don't you pay enough attention? The American CI gang is spying on you everywhere. If I hadn't wiped your ass from behind, how could you have done it? It¡¯s such a comfortable life.¡±
Jacqueline tapped his chest lightly, a little annoyed, and then thought for a while and said: "Someone in our team responded that the vertical landing capability of amphibious ships is still relatively limited, and we lack a relatively large-scale hoisting and transportation system. Helicopters, what do you recommend?¡±
To hoist vehicles, artillery and other equipment from ships, the US military uses CH-Sea Stallion, a twenty-ton (H6K upgraded to 3 tons) heavy-duty helicopter that can lift two Humvees or 10mR scoop towed artillery. In fact, the Army also needs similar hoisting capabilities, so PLAl took the opportunity to ask the United States for a production license for the CH47 Chinook. Now China has copied nearly a hundred of them (including base manufacturing).
When it comes to heavy-duty helicopters, the Army also has the Z-22 double-blade, but this thing is too big, with a length of 1 meter and a maximum take-off weight of more than 50 tons. Even ordinary ship elevators cannot install this thing. Even the -0 meter long CH4 is a little too long.
The Navy has allocated a special amount of funds to develop a heavy-duty helicopter specifically for landing and lifting of the Marine Corps. The project is progressing smoothly and is now ready to enter the acceptance stage. This helicopter is named Zhi-6 "Hunjianglong", with a length of 3 meters, a rotor diameter of 2 meters, a height of B6 meters, and a maximum take-off weight of 3 tons. The reason why this helicopter can be developed and trial-produced so quickly is mainly because the base has mastered a lot of information. This Hunjianglong is also based on the European HTH (rTra1H11cnta) plan, so after additions, subtractions, modifications, molding and test flights were completed. soon.
This helicopter was developed and produced by Changfei, a subsidiary of Shenghua Group. The Navy placed an order for 6 units in the first phase, including the research and development expenses. The unit price of the helicopter reached 660,000 yuan, which is more expensive than some fighter jets. However, with the increase in mass production As the number increases, the relative cost will decrease.
The Red Alert Base is not involved in the manufacturing project, but it does have the technology and there are no problems with manufacturing. Qi Yiming thought about the situation of Ximu Company and said: "I will send you four Z-16s back. You can also use them to see if there are any minor problems. Feedback will be given to Changfei for further modifications."
Since it was free of charge anyway, Qi Yiming didn¡¯t mind letting people from Ximu serve as test subjects, so he nodded in agreement. The two talked about some things, but they avoided the issue of Qi Yiming being a married man. After talking for a long time, they talked about the layout for the disintegration of the Soviet Union. There are still two years until the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and drastic changes in Eastern Europe are imminent. Qi Yiming has prepared quite a few means to deal with and ride on this big wave. Naturally, he is also very wary of the winds of drastic change blowing into the country, but now it seems that the Psychic Beacon Tower and a series of reforms have benefited all the people, so the government is in a harmonious state, and the threat to CP is not great.
