C2456 Conspiracy to Western Australia (1/2)
Business was a man's soul. When Xiang Ying who was just a pile of mud saw his favorite map, he looked like a different person.
With one hand, he continuously wiped his face with the cold towel, while with the other hand, he used the compass to continuously measure the distance on the map.
”The Merchant Road is very important. It is a kind of gentle and permeating power that can make no one in the westerner able to say anything, and it will not cause them any threat!”
”From Mauritius, as long as we have a base of over a hundred thousand people, we can develop our economy and infiltrate into the African continent. At that time, the Mauritius and the special products of the African continent will be transported endlessly to the Chinese race and the trading road will be opened!”
”After a long period of trading, the situation in this strange sea area south of Malacca, hydrology, weather … The more information we have, the more abundant it will become, and this information will become the foundation for the Chinese warships to invade this region of the sea! ”
”At the beginning, we would patiently wait so that the westerner would not feel threatened. When the time is ripe! I predict that the Führer will make a strategic breakthrough like this... ”
”Suppose one day, our Chinese merchant ships were to meet with a storm or a pirate invasion in the Southern Indian Ocean … The hull was damaged, the casualties were heavy, and they were forced to drift eastward to the western part of Australia! ”
”At that time, we will be able to confidently land and build our own port! ”You can be assured that the British will allow our merchant ship to rest for a while!”
”Look at the map of Australia, the foreigners' residential areas are concentrated in the southeast, and even New Zealand is developing much faster than Australia. The entire northwest of Australia is a desert, and is where the natives live!”
”This is only a unilateral declaration of territory by the British themselves. They don't really have effective rule... This is our chance! ”
”For humanitarian reasons, the United Kingdom will also allow our caravan to build wharves, ports and towns here, and through such infiltration, we will be able to build our own brand-new reclamation area!”
”If our Chinese race were a little stronger, if there were any major conflicts in Europe, or even a war, when the situation is suitable for diplomatic breakthroughs, we could even ask Britain to buy the land in Western Australia. In any case, it's a no-man's land, so the British would not care!”
”Do you understand now? The Head of the Guards had casually landed a flyer in the Mauritius. His goal might be to take over Western Australia ten years from now! That should be the plan of the leader! ”
”But I have another question... The Western Region of Australia is truly too barren. There are mountains and deserts everywhere, and previously, King Shang Tai helped a group of Expedition s to explore the Western Region of Australia … ”
”I took a look at the report later. Oh my god, many rivers and lakes are seasonal. There's water during the rainy season and all of it becomes desert during the dry season. There's not much land that can be cultivated in this kind of place. There won't be too many immigrants …”
”Other than having the advantage of a geopolitical strategy, there's no other use to it. Why would the leader care so much about this barren land?”
Xiang Ying's understanding also stopped at that, of course he would not know, although Western Australia was not suitable for the development of agriculture, but it was still the famous iron ore mountain in the future generations.
The rich Australian mines located in the Parth region were considered to be shallow mines. There was no need to expend much effort to drill holes in them, and high-grade ores could be easily obtained by shoveling directly from the surface.
Furthermore, the purity of the ore here was relatively high, directly lowering the smelting technology requirements as well as the cost. If the Chinese could gradually control this area, then they would no longer have to worry about the resources of the iron ore for the next two to three hundred years.
Moreover, this area still had gold mines, nickel mines, oil mines, and other minerals waiting to be excavated. This was a treasure trove that was in a deep sleep!
