Rebirth of the Qing Empire
Chapter 111 I need your resources
An important sign of the Qing Empire's strength is that its citizens began to gain widespread respect around the world, which further enhanced the national pride of its citizens. People of all ethnic groups across the country are proud to be "Chinese"
.The meaning of the word "Chinese" has changed from the original decadent, backward, ignorant, cowardly, etc. to clean, advanced, civilized and strong, and has become a group of people that people all over the world have to look up to!
More and more Chinese citizens are going abroad to develop their careers around the world, and most of them choose safe and reliable neighboring countries in Asia. However, various large state-owned companies have strong strength and backing.
With strong support from the Chinese government, trade is carried out extensively around the world regardless of region.
The rapid increase in trade volume has further stimulated China's economic development and further increased the demand for various resources.
China has now taken the lead in the world to enter the age of internal combustion engines, which means greater consumption of resources than in the age of steam engines. Therefore, countries such as the Persian Gulf, which has the world's largest reserves and the highest quality of oil and natural gas, are rich in metal and non-metal minerals.
Africa and South Asia, which are important natural rubber producing areas, are increasingly important to China's current sustainable development strategy.
The so-called sustainable development actually means using other people’s things to develop yourself first, and finding ways to rationally use or retain your own things to make reserves for your future. The “things” mentioned here refer to those things that cannot be
Renewable natural resources, such as oil, natural gas, coal, etc. Although it is a very selfish approach, for the benefit of their own countries, countries all over the world do this. So, China can now use the advanced technology and equipment it has mastered to repeat
Why should we make exceptions when we produce goods that can be exchanged for money or various natural resources from abroad?
In order to achieve this goal, China has to exert influence on the above-mentioned natural resource-rich areas to obtain as many raw materials as possible for its own production of goods. Countries such as Britain and France also want to do the same, but cannot
To avoid this, China once again stood on the opposite side of Britain and France.
Many small countries in West Asia and Central Asia are influenced by the increasingly powerful China. In addition, the new international exchange norms advocated by China such as non-interference in each other's internal affairs, mutual respect for national sovereignty, equality and mutual benefit have been generally welcomed and accepted by the above-mentioned countries.
Therefore, they all rushed to establish a good suzerain-vassal relationship with China and received enough benefits.
Among them, the Kingdom of Afghanistan, which gained independence after driving away the British colonists in 1919, has had the most profound impact on China. Because of the Kingdom of Afghanistan as a springboard, China has been able to extend its arms into Persia, the oil powerhouse in the Middle East that borders it.
, and this country is located in the Persian Gulf region.
As for Africa, the National Defense Forces stationed at the Massawa base on the Red Sea can provide real protection and assistance to Chinese companies traveling to various parts of Africa. However, countries in South Asia, Kalimantan and Indochina are already under China’s control.
Because of this, China has launched a fierce and long-term competition with European countries in the Persian Gulf, Africa and other places.
Persia is a country located in southwest Asia, bordered by the Caspian Sea to the north, the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea to the south, and the Kingdom of Afghanistan and British India to the east. It has a land area of more than 1.6 million square kilometers and a population of more than 50 million. It is considered a big country in the Persian Gulf region.
.From the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the country suffered multiple invasions from European powers and gradually became a semi-colonial country. It suffered from social and economic decline, tyrannical and brutal feudal rule, people’s livelihood was in dire straits, riots occurred one after another, and chaos continued.
At this time, the United Kingdom, which was under colonial rule in Persia, did not know that this country was extremely rich in oil and natural gas, so it did not take China's infiltration activities seriously at first. By the time it discovered the truth, it was too late!
Relying on the good relationship established with the current Persian government, China has vigorously developed equal trade between the two countries, helped Persia establish its oil and natural gas industry, and purchased its oil and natural gas at reasonable prices. This preferential measure has controlled the domestic oil and natural gas exploration in Persia.
The current Persian government has also exploited a large amount of oil and natural gas with the help of China and negotiated contracts with China.
It has made huge profits from equal trade, including oil and natural gas exports, and has more spare money for domestic construction. It has also created a large number of jobs for the people. Public grievances have been calmed, and the political situation has begun to improve, which has strengthened its relationship with China.
Confidence in long-term cooperation. Therefore, it continued to provide more friendly and relaxed cooperation policies to China, and eventually the National Defense Forces successfully entered Persia.
With China's "selfless" support, two years after the independence of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, the Persian military officer Reza Khan Pahlavi launched a coup, seized power, drove away the British colonists, established the Pahlavi dynasty, and gave Persia a
Independence has also enabled China to gain a stable oil supply in the Persian Gulf region.
To transport oil from Persia in the Middle East back to China in the Far East, the most economical and effective way of transportation is sea transportation. Bac Ninh Ocean Shipping Company plans to use new tankers with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons and a speed of more than 20 knots to transport oil. Therefore, it is necessary to
A dedicated oil transshipment port must be built in the Persian Gulf. The Persian Port Abbas, where the National Defense Forces are stationed on the coast of the Persian Gulf, was naturally chosen.
Bandar Abbas Port is located on the north side of the Strait of Hormuz. It is the main port in southern Persia. There are Qeshm Island and Hormuz Island as barriers outside the port. It is a natural harbor. The port was completely expanded and transformed with Chinese investment.
It is a modern port city, and the National Defense Forces garrison here also have huge needs for daily necessities.
In quantitative terms, the two together have created a large number of job opportunities for the local Persians, promoted the economic prosperity of the port and surrounding areas, and made the local society more stable. In addition, the National Defense Forces garrison obeyed the rules and regulations, were polite and civilized, and in the eyes of the local people
With a good image here, we have a very harmonious garrison environment.
After the new oil tanker of Bac Ninh Ocean Shipping Company is filled with oil at Bandar Abbas Port, it leaves the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, enters the Arabian Sea, and then crosses the Indian Ocean back to China. Therefore, the safety of the Indian Ocean route is crucial
.
After the completion of the China-Poland Highway, a high-grade international highway connecting Kashgar City in China's Xinjiang Province with other parts of the country via the Kingdom of Afghanistan and then to Bandar Abbas Port in Persia, some goods and personnel from the two countries will be able to pass through this land channel.
Entry and exit, of course, are all done using various types of passenger and freight cars produced in China, allowing the people of these two backward agricultural and animal husbandry countries to enjoy the comfort and convenience brought by modern industrial products.
In addition to oil and natural gas, Persia also has other commodities that are very popular with the Chinese people, such as dates, pistachios, caviar, carpets, etc. However, the road transportation volume is still incomparable with that of sea transportation. The greatest significance of the China-Persia highway is to improve
This provides conditions for the National Defense Forces to march into Central Asia and the Middle East from land, and can better protect Bandar Abbas Port.
Bandar Abbas Port and the Massawa base on the Red Sea form a corner, thus adding a strategic support point in the Indian Ocean region. The National Defense Forces garrison at these two bases can control the Gulf of Aden and the Gulf of Oman in the Arabian Sea, and
The cooperation of the troops stationed in West China Province makes the Indian Ocean routes safer.
The opening of the China-Poland Highway has also brought vitality to the economy of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. The Kingdom of Afghanistan is now ruled by the Barakzai Dynasty. It has a land area of more than 650,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 20 million. It is not small, but
Three-fifths of its territory is mountainous, with insufficient arable land and no modern transportation facilities such as railways and highways.
It is an extremely backward, poor agricultural and animal husbandry country. Therefore, it can only trade with China with its own mineral resources that are rich in reserves but unable to develop and utilize them, and exchange them for Chinese food, commodities or money at preferential prices.
Among them, China mainly invests in the development of iron, copper and lithium metal deposits, which are the most abundant here.
The Sino-Polish Highway should be regarded as the highest highway in the contemporary world because it passes through the Karakoram Mountains.
The Karakoram Mountains are 240 kilometers wide, 800 kilometers long, with an average altitude of more than 6,000 meters. They have 4 peaks above 8,000 meters and 15 peaks above 7,500 meters. They are covered with ice and snow all year round. The mountains stand tall in
The northwest side of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, connecting the Pamir Plateau, Himalayas and Tang Dynasty
The Gula Mountains constitute the famous alpine terrain in China's northwest-southwest border area. The mountain passes there were once important passages of the ancient Silk Road and an important gateway from western China to the Middle East, the British Indian continent and even Europe. They have always been
It is a place where the forces of Britain, Russia, Austria and other countries compete fiercely.
However, during the First World War, the Qing Empire took advantage of the time when other countries were concentrating on the war to re-integrate parts of neighboring Central Asia, as well as the Wakhan Corridor, Jammu, Kashmir, Himachal and other places into the Chinese territory. This also allowed
One of the reasons why the British government is hostile to China.
In this area, initiated by China and participated by other countries, a vast nature reserve spanning many national borders has been established to properly protect the huge glaciers, rare alpine wildlife, etc. This is also a testimony.
The friendship of all parties and the unified action of modern civilization. The opening of the China-Poland Highway has prospered and protected this place, and is destined to affect the future.
After the opening of the China-Poland Highway, in order to make full use of the construction results of the China-Poland Highway and to transport Iran's abundant natural gas to China so that this clean energy can serve the lives of the Chinese people, a natural gas transmission pipeline connecting Iran and China was also established.
Start building.
This transmission pipeline is erected along the China-Polish Highway. The daily management and maintenance of the pipeline are also managed by the China-Polish Highway Bureau. The natural gas from Iran is transported through the pipeline to Kashgar, the end point of the China-Polish Highway, and then passes through Kashgar.
A pipeline transmission network transports natural gas to various parts of the country.
Natural gas is clean, non-toxic, safe and reliable to use. It is an ideal city gas to replace traditional fuels such as coal, gas and oil. At present, residents in many big cities such as Taiyuan, Beijing and Tianjin have used natural gas to replace gas that can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Gas. Moreover, with the continuous exploitation of rich natural gas resources in the southwest and northwest provinces of China, the use of natural gas will be popularized in the country, and urban fuels such as coal and gas will be gradually banned, greatly improving the home environment of urban residents.
This move is also a manifestation of the superior life of contemporary Chinese people, and is ahead of the rest of the world.
Africa is known as the "world's treasure house of raw materials". It has many types of mineral resources, large reserves, concentrated distribution, and easy extraction. European countries need it, and China certainly needs it too.
At present, most African countries are still in the form of loose primitive tribes. Tribal leaders have great autonomy over various resources within their tribal territories. Their central governments do not have very strong control over each tribe. Foreign European colonial forces
Not to mention.
Furthermore, most countries in Africa are technologically backward and have a weak industrial base. Like the Kingdom of Afghanistan, they are unable to fully develop and utilize their own mineral resources. Therefore, most of the mineral resources are still buried deep underground and have not seen the light of day. And those that have been
The mineral resources discovered and exploited were also brutally plundered by European colonial forces, with little benefit to themselves at all, which also prompted various tribes to be very resistant to mineral mining.
China is different. Its foreign policy, which is refreshing to all countries, is also generally accepted by African countries, and it provides continuous support to African countries in various fields such as industry, agriculture, transportation, medical care, science and technology, culture, and wildlife protection.
Selfless assistance, more and more Chinese humanitarian workers, doctors, teachers, scientific and technological personnel, etc. are active in this backward, poor but magnificent and rich continent, working hard to build a better life here, and even more
It has been widely welcomed by people from all over the world.
In this way, after the First World War, China gradually affected eastern Africa from Ethiopia to the equatorial region, covering an area of more than 3 million square kilometers. In this area, Chinese goods are rapidly occupying the market originally supplied by Europe.
The commodity-controlled market also controls more and more mineral-rich areas. The Indian Ocean connecting China and East Africa has become a bridge of friendship. More and more Chinese ocean-going ships pass through it.
Traveling on the blue Indian Ocean, they transport cheap, high-quality and popular domestic products to East Africa, and then transport a large number of metal and non-metal minerals, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and other products from East Africa back to their home countries. Central Africa
Maritime trade between the two countries has developed vigorously, cooperation areas have expanded rapidly, and government and non-governmental exchanges have become increasingly in-depth. Both sides have gained considerable benefits from this, which has further promoted the stability of bilateral relations.
With the deepening of exchanges between China and Africa, the contacts and cooperation between the two sides in the military field have also increased. At first, China sent military officers and police officers to African countries to train their troops and police. Later, China's advanced weapons and equipment were sold to African countries in large quantities.
, gradually formed a Chinese military equipment zone throughout eastern Africa.
As a result, these eastern African tribes, whose economic and military strength have been greatly enhanced, formed powerful local forces, gradually began to get rid of the control of the European colonists, and quickly moved closer to China. China was motivated by political, economic and military aspects.
Considering the interests of China, it is logical to station troops in East Africa. However, the European colonists were afraid of China's strong strength and could only retreat blindly.
In this way, China has built a defense ring around the Indian Ocean from Asia to eastern Africa, quickly compressing the space for European countries led by Britain and France to move in the above-mentioned areas.
European countries watched helplessly as Chinese forces penetrated into Africa on a large scale into their traditional sphere of influence and competed with them for their interests. They were helpless at first. They first felt panic, and then they became jealous, but they were never able to take actual obstructive actions: On the one hand,
On the other hand, African countries, especially Eastern Africa, are increasingly dependent on China in various fields. It is now very difficult for Europe to exert a strong influence on this region.
