”Jiangyin! The Jiangyin should be the first place we can make our move on! ” Using the smell of the wine, Xiang Ying stood up. This disciple of the Head of State, the loyal disciple of the Deep Blue Navy, began to make his speech according to his sea of thoughts!
”In the future world, the benefits of the ocean outweigh everything else! Why do you say that? ”Because shipping is the most economical and scalable means of logistics that humans can have right now and even in the future!”
”The transportation of goods is essential for business development, and sea s are even more indispensable to the relationship between countries!”
”The ancient tradition of relying on the land must be broken. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, how long would it take for the Caravan to rely on camels and fodder to make a trip to the China? But how long will it take to ship it? ”
”The tonnage of land transportation will never get there. How many horses and camels will a ship carry? The transportation cost of people eating horses along the way can be very scary! ”
”Dependence on the railway? ”Of course it's a very good idea, but no matter how good the railway is, it's still much more expensive than shipping!”
”The steamer has been out for a long time, but there are still many wind sailboat shipping the goods. Why is that? Because of the cost and because of the economy! ”
”Wind doesn't cost money, but coal and iron are for Real Gold and Silver!”
”So I firmly believe that in the next two hundred years … No, no, no, no matter if it's 400 or 500 years old, the benefits of the ocean will always be the most important! ”
”Whoever can control the coastline, can control the economic lifeline, and can strangle the throat of the Country in the interior! ”After controlling the coastline, the status of those who are able to navigate large ships in the river would skyrocket!”
”In China, the Yangtze River is the most high-quality inland waterway, and it goes straight to the hinterland of Sichuan. A single Yangtze River connected the entire Jiangnan economic belt of the China together!”
”Head of State has said more than once, that the flow of human wealth is very interesting. It's always the lower reaches of the river that is richer than the upper reaches, and in this epoch, where the river flows into the sea is where the wealth gathers!”
”In the future, the Yangtze River will definitely become a place where the Qing Kingdom, the Chinese and Western powers can battle against each other. The possibility of a large-scale war happening in this region in the future is extremely high!”
”Fighting with the British on the Ocean is extremely dangerous! Although I am radical, but I am not a boor. I have been doing this for the Chinese for 500 years! I humbly request that Head of State transform the Jiangyin's industrial area into a semi-military area! ”
”Outside is the industrial zone, but inside, we need to build the Jiangyin Fortress system according to the five hundred years' standard!”
”We will vigorously develop the military industry here. The military factories must gather here and use the military base as the flag to start building continuous fortifications!”
”The Jiangyin has many mountains in its line of sight, and it is easy to defend from above. Furthermore, there are islands in the river, so we can build a military port with a river in it. At the very least, medium ton Battleship s can be docked!”
”Protect the Jiangyin, which is to say, lock onto his throat. A foreign Navy can forget about threatening the Yangtze River Basin who is west of the Jiangyin!”
”In this way, even if there is a great war in the future, we can still preserve at least half of Jiangnan's economy. The west side of Jiangyin will be in peace!”
”From River City to Chongqing, Jiangyin, this long stretch of the Yangtze River's economic belt is controlled by us, we have the confidence to keep fighting the Enemy for long periods of time!”
”Of course I believe that my Chinese Navy will win! But we must also be prepared for one in a million misfortune! The construction of the Jiangyin Fortress is at hand, I request Head of State to increase the priority! ”
Although they drank wine, their thoughts would not be in disorder when war was mentioned. ”That's right, Xiang Ying's words are reasonable!”
”The Jiangyin's industrial zone must be completely militarized. This is the key to the Yangtze River's door!”
”Head of State, please sign the Head of State Order!”
Xiao Letian fiercely patted the Table: ”Alright! Good, good, good... ”You didn't study in vain, you didn't come to blows with me for no reason. To be able to comprehend the importance of this place, you are much more mature than before!”
”Tell the logistics department to contact the Official of the Ministry of Industry and mobilize the people and supplies as soon as possible so that they can observe the construction of the sand table model in the field!”
”Since you all want the Yangtze River's Lock, then forge an iron lock that will last for thousands of years!”
