I, the super rich crown prince, will build the richest country

Navy.

To put it bluntly, the main thing is to expand the surface ships.

It has a deterrent effect.

Xiao Yunhai does not object to the expansion of frigates.

We did not buy frigates before because of the weak economy, tight military expenditures, and economic development.

It is different now.

Facing the increasingly divided confrontation between the two powers, it is very important to maintain a strong naval force.

Frigates are used to ensure anti-submarine and air defense, especially in the waters of Southeast Asia. Although New Han cannot achieve absolute advantage, it must have at least a dozen frigates.

In his recent plan.

New Han's surface ships must have at least 33 destroyers, and then cooperate with 20 frigates and more than a dozen submarines of different models, and then match them with two or three light aircraft carriers, as well as auxiliary warships such as supply ships and electronic reconnaissance ships, so that New Han's maritime rights and interests can be protected.

We can conduct ocean operations and compete with the White Elephant for hegemony in the Indian Ocean.

In short, in the next few years, military construction will be upgraded.

After talking about the navy, Xiao Yunhai turned his attention to the army commander Zhang Mingchen and deputy commander Xing Tianming.

"Old Xing, you can talk about it."

"Okay!"

Xing Tianming nodded, then looked at Xiao Yunhai: "Your Highness, our army is mainly concerned with ammunition replenishment and the purchase of some drones. In addition, we plan to purchase 60 Shenying armed helicopters and 120 Lark general-purpose helicopters from Xinghai Aircraft Manufacturing Company."

The so-called Shenying armed helicopter is actually the Apache armed helicopter imitated by Xinhan.

It has a longer range, higher engine fuel efficiency, and a slightly increased load capacity.

The Shenying armed helicopter currently produced by itself uses domestic parts at a cost of US$37.2 million.

The price sold to the Air Force is US$45 million.

The overall performance is slightly better than the Apache E attack helicopter that Xinhan purchased before. 22 The price is more than half cheaper.

The money used to sell an Apache E attack helicopter can already buy two "Condor" attack helicopters of the same level.

With limited military expenditure, money must be used where it counts, and helicopters are a good choice.

Xiao Yunhai agreed to the army's proposal.

There is no shortage of equipment at the moment, so there are more than enough.

On the contrary, the number of helicopters is relatively small, and it is necessary to increase the number.

For helicopters, Xinhan's self-developed capabilities are already in the first echelon in the world.

No need to import.

On May 7, when the outside world was still discussing the issue of Longguo's food, a piece of news was reported.

"Xinhan's foreign minister arrived in Yanjing today to start a two-day visit."

Just such a dry paragraph attracted the attention of many people.

People were discussing whether the reason why Xin Han sent a diplomatic bu to visit Long Kingdom was because of food issues..

Just when the outside world was speculating.

Two days later.

Wang Haishan, who ended his visit on May 9, left China.

The next day.

At the regular meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the spokesperson announced that New China officially started applying to join the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, emphasizing that joining the two major organizations would help promote economic and trade cooperation between New China and China.

Immediately afterwards, it was announced that it would cooperate with China to develop the Batam Port in the Strait of Malacca and build a world-class deep-water port.

At the same time.

China also announced that it would participate in the construction of the railway from Aceh to Nanbang County on Sumatra Island.

As for this railway, some other media broke the news that the railway is 1,781 kilometers long and will adopt a freight-passenger sharing mode with a designed maximum speed of 0 kilometers per hour.

New China is not like China, which has a vast territory and abundant resources.

To build so many railways.

Besides, Sumatra itself is a long island. It is enough to build a railway from north to south. There is no need to build any horizontal railway.

Besides, there are not many towns near the Indian Ocean. They are mainly concentrated in the plains in the east.

It is good to have a passenger and freight line with a maximum speed of 250 kilometers per hour. It is impossible to build a freight railway in order to upgrade the 350-kilometer high-speed railway, right?

Even if Xinhan is rich, it cannot squander it at will.

The total investment of the project reached 59 billion US dollars.

After the news came out, it caused a boiling in Longguo.

Yes.

You read it right in Longguo.

As for Xinhan, it was immune.

After all, it is not the first time to build a railway.

What's more, this time the construction is in Sumatra.

Of course, the people on Sumatra must be happy. After all, with the construction of the railway, the travel between the north and the south will definitely be much more convenient.

At least half the time is saved.

And the price is cheap.

The netizens in Longguo are excited, and they are more happy that the country has won such a large order.

59 billion US dollars.

Converted into Longguo currency, that is 400 billion.

And the construction of the railway also indirectly clarified the rumors that Xinhan was going to turn to the United States, and slapped the faces of some self-media.

"Awesome! Xinhan is indeed a wealthy man. If they don't spend money, it's fine. But now they spend 400 billion for railway construction, and they don't need loans, they pay directly."

"When it comes to arrogance, you have to look at Xinhan! Even the camels in the Middle East can't compare to them."

"This price is not expensive, only more than 200 million per kilometer, the cost is cheap."

"Brother above, this is not a high-speed railway, the design speed is 250km/h for freight and passenger transport."

"By the way, you all pay attention to the high-speed railway, but not Batam Port? This is the golden waterway of Malacca. Now that we build this port, we can station troops, and we don't have to worry about the route being controlled in the future."

"The above, you think too much, this is a commercial port, not somethingA naval base."

"No, no, no... You are just being superficial. On the surface, it is a commercial port. After it is built, maybe it will become a naval base?"

"Although I like to think so, I think it is unlikely. Batam is too sensitive. If a naval base is built, other countries such as the island country, South Korea, and even the United States will not agree and will put pressure on New Han.

Besides, New Han's military strength is not weak. It is impossible for foreign warships to build a military base on their territory, so your idea is not valid."

"I agree with the analysis of the brother above! Batam is a military base. If you think about it carefully, you will know that this is impossible!

In fact, there are still several islands in the north of Sumatra that are suitable for military bases, such as We Island.

This small island is also on the route. If we can build a naval support base, it will be of great significance for our navy to move from near sea to far sea. ”

“The location of Wei Island is indeed good, but it is highly unlikely that they will agree.

Not to mention the United States and other countries, the White Elephant Country will not agree either, and will definitely put pressure on them.

With the talent of the New Han Crown Prince, it is impossible for him not to have thought of these problems.

So you guys can just go to bed, it is impossible to build a military base along the Strait of Malacca. ”

These news quickly spread around the world.

It triggered widespread coverage and heated discussions.

The United States.

The Black House.

The new round of presidential elections in the United States is not far away.

O'Heizi has to worry about the election of party members and the tense situation in the South China Sea.

I was in a bad mood.

As a result, I heard that Xinhan and Longguo had reached a number of cooperation agreements.

Apply to join BRICS, SCO and other cooperation organizations.

That's it.

They even cooperated with Longguo to develop a port on an island on the Malacca Strait route. At first, he didn't care. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

It was not until his staff explained that the port was located opposite Lion City that he realized the importance of the issue.

"Everyone, what do you think about this matter? ”

O'Heizi called his staff to discuss this matter with a serious look.

"Mr. President, we must stop the cooperation between Longguo and Xinhan, especially the construction of Malacca Port."

"I highly suspect that Longguo wants to station troops here to protect their maritime trade."

"Once Longguo stations troops here, it will shake our layout in the Western Pacific and Southeast Asia, and affect our maritime trade with our allies. This cooperation must be stopped."

Defense Department Ashton Carter said seriously.

"good"

O'Heizi agreed with this statement.

Looking seriously at the staff: "Everyone! In the far east, a powerful opponent is rising. We must curb their development. Otherwise, if this continues, the powerful American Republic will be surpassed by them sooner or later.

And then affect our globalThe layout of the world will affect the strategic security of our allies.

Especially, Longguo has been vigorously developing its naval power in recent years, which seems to be a provocation to the United States.

Therefore, we must curb the development of Longguo..."

O'Heizi set the tone.

In fact, curbing the development of Longguo is not just his idea. []

In fact, it is already a common idea among the American elite.

A powerful Longguo that can shake the hegemony of the United States must be contained.

This is how the return to the Asia-Pacific strategy came about.

On the same day, O'Heizi asked the Secretary of State to go to Xinhan and stop the cooperation between the two countries.

This includes putting pressure on Xinhan to cancel his joining of the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

These two organizations are, after all, to fight against the hegemony of the United States.

As the world's second largest country after the island countries, Xinhan is Once the world's fourth largest economy joins the BRICS, the value of the BRICS will be very different.

Longguo is the second largest economy in the world.

Xinhan is the fourth largest economy in the world.

Add the world's eighth largest white elephant, the tenth largest Samba, and the thirteenth largest bear, and it will truly become the "BRICS" organization.

By then, more countries will surely join this organization.

For the United States, this is undoubtedly bad news.

Xinhan 120.

Chang'an, the palace.

Late at night.

Wang Haishan, who received a call from the United States, rushed to the palace without stopping and reported to Xiao Yunhai.

"Are you saying that the Americans sent the Secretary of State to visit?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Haishan nodded, looking worried, "It's probably about cooperation with Longguo. ”

“Hmm~”

Xiao Yunhai nodded slightly: “It’s expected.”

“Your Highness, if this matter is not handled properly, it may affect our cooperation with Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.”

“Hmm~ I know.” Xiao Yunhai slowly stood up and walked in the reception room.

“Be cautious about this matter!”

“After the meeting the day after tomorrow, you will express our position to the United States.”

“Emphasiize that Batam Port is a commercial cooperation matter. No foreign military bases are allowed to exist on the territory of New Han. This is the first!”

“Second! They will most likely put pressure on us not to join the BRICS and SCO, and you can take the opportunity to propose joining the G7.”

“G7?” Wang Haishan looked surprised.

“Yes! ”

As for the G7, Xiao Yunhai really wants Xinhan to join.

This way, we can deepen cooperation with the United States, Japan, South Korea and several European economies.

However, he believes that it is highly unlikely that Xinhan will join.

Unless Xinhan gives up the development of high-tech industries.

Especially the chip industry.

And does not further develop military power.

“Let’s mention it first. It would be best if we can join!”

“In short, tell the United States that Xinhan values ​​the bilateral relationship with the United States and will not do anything that harms the interests of the United States, but please also ask the United StatesDon't interfere in the affairs of New Han."

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the United States will not be satisfied with this answer."

Xiao Yunhai certainly knew that the United States would not be satisfied, but things are different now. The hegemony of the United States has been challenged by Longguo.

It is no longer the 1990s when you can attack anyone you want.

"Just talk according to what I say."

"Even if the Americans are not satisfied, they will not do anything."

"Their main opponent now is Longguo."

"We are neutral now, and O'Heizi will not be stupid enough to push us to Longguo. ”

Pushing New Han to Longguo, the GDP added up to be only 2 trillion dollars behind that of the United States.

Accounting for 83.3% of the US GDP!

Isn’t that scary?

I guess the Americans didn’t expect that New Han would develop so fast.
