Chapter 1599 [The local tyrant wants to borrow some money from the stars to repair the river]

Just after the Sat tycoon proposed a 2,000-kilometer super canal, something even more outrageous happened.

Someone on the Internet broke the news that Yilang couldn't sit still after hearing the news. He turned back home and dug out the "Yilang Grand Canal" plan that had been kept at the bottom of the drawer for decades.

It has to be said that the terrifying efficiency of the Funan Canal project has once again refreshed the world's understanding of Dongda's infrastructure capabilities. This project is now world-renowned. Such terrifying efficiency undoubtedly once again shows that Dongda's title of infrastructure madman is not a cover. of.

Such efficient infrastructure capabilities make Yilang deeply envious. Its domestic canal project, which has been envisioned for many years but has always been stuck in the "new folder" stage, is now eager to get help from Dongda University to realize it.

Moreover, the Iranian people believe that only Dongda has such strength and capabilities. This canal project is a super canal connecting the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf.

Yilang has a vast land area of ​​1.645 million square kilometers and a huge strategic depth. However, its geographical environment is extremely complex, with many mountainous plateaus and few plains, resulting in uneven regional development. The Caspian Sea area in the north is poor and the southern coastal area is wealthy.

The main reason for the lagging development of the northern region is that the Caspian Sea is an inland sea with no outlet to the sea, limited shipping, and closed trade.

But with this super canal, oil, gas, mineral resources, etc. along the northern Caspian Sea coast can be transported to the Persian Gulf through low-cost water transportation, and then marketed around the world.

At the same time, countries around the Caspian Sea such as Goose and several Stans can also use this canal to transport materials. The supply of goods from the Persian Gulf can go directly to the countries along the Caspian Sea, realizing resource exchanges and forming a closed commercial loop.

This project has been conceived by Yilang for a long time, but due to the lack of funds and equipment technology, it can only stay at the stage of creating a new folder.

It is reported that the total length of this canal is about 1,000 kilometers, starting from the Caspian Sea port of Ilan in the north, to its capital Dehelan in the south, and to the port of Abadan near the Persian Gulf.

If this canal is successfully opened, it will closely connect the largest cities in Iran and several countries along the Caspian Sea, greatly reduce the cost of cargo transportation, improve communication efficiency, boost the economic development of Central Asia, and even have a profound impact on the geopolitical situation. .

The news was true and false, and the spread was outrageous. Fang Hong also watched these news with the same mentality.

At this moment, Fang Hong, who had nothing to do, was also chatting with the beautiful assistant about this matter.

Tian Jiayi said: "Although I have no knowledge of canal infrastructure projects, I still have geographical knowledge. The huge Yilang Plateau and the extremely complex mountainous structural geographical environment. Building a grand canal running from north to south in such a place seems like a waste of time." The 1,000 kilometers is less than half of the 2,000 kilometers of the Satna Canal, but the difficulty is more than double that of the Satna Canal.”

She immediately added: "It is impossible for another Yilang to have such financial resources. Its financial capacity cannot afford it. Even if it is a loan, it cannot afford the interest alone. It is impossible for such a project to receive an interest-free loan. The funder I can’t afford it either.”

Hearing this, Fang Hong smiled slightly and said calmly: "Even if they can afford the financial resources for Yilang's canal and we have the engineering capabilities to open it, they will not help Yilang build this canal." Yilang said After all, he is Big Goose’s younger brother. No matter how good our country’s relationship with him is, it cannot be compared to his relationship with Big Goose.”

"When Lao Mei's hegemony collapses, the world will be completely different. At that time, Big Goose doesn't want our family to be the only one. It will dominate the sky with one hand, and there will definitely be a balance. The relationship between the two families is better, and we will not do the same." I hope Iran will become a dominant player in the Middle East.”

"Besides, Yilang has its own industry. If we help them build this canal and let it take off, can little Saman still sleep? Will he not have any grudges against our family in private?"

Fang Hong pondered for a moment, and then added: "Yilang, Turqi, and Sate all want to be the regional bosses here. In the future, they will completely drive out Lao Mei from the Middle East. It is necessary for these three to restrain each other and achieve a new balance. The best situation is that Sate recognizes us as his eldest brother, and Yilang recognizes Dagou as his eldest brother. As for Turqi, he is nominally backed by Ouzhou, and this guy is an opportunist, which is good. "

What is certain is that the construction of the canal in Yilang is extremely difficult, but if Yilang is willing to push forward with all its national strength and is given a sufficient construction period, and then Dongda is also willing to take on this project, it will definitely be possible to dig it. Passed.

At the same time, you don’t have to worry about not being able to pay the money. Transactions do not have to be limited to currency, as long as they are equivalent, the national will is fundamental, such as mineral development rights, land development rights, canal operation rights, economic privileges, commercial privileges, etc. , there are many benefits that can be exchanged.

But it is obvious that Yilang's desire to ask Dongda to dig this canal is mostly wishful thinking.

Dongda must focus on global strategy, and the primary strategic goal at the moment is to eliminate Ah Mei's hegemony. Once Ah Mei's hegemony falls, Dongda will be fully fed where it is, and it will be safe for a hundred years.

To do this, we cannot do without cooperation with Big Goose, so we must consider Big Goose’s views. Yilang belongs to Big Goose’s sphere of influence, and it is obviously not appropriate to get involved too deeply, lest it affects the strategic mutual trust with Big Goose. This ruined Zhu Amei's strategic plan for hegemony.

Another thing, in fact, in the eyes of the Yilang people, they classify Dongda and Ah Mei together. They are both world superpowers playing for hegemony, but they are not as barbaric as Ah Mei, so they will not have any objection to Dongda. Much gratitude.

In short, anyone can dig this canal, but Dongda will definitely not do it.

In other words, if Dongda does not take this project, then no one in the world can do it, and this project will always stay in the stage of creating a new folder.

In the Middle East, Yilang's combat power is far superior to that of the rich people in Shat, and it already has industry. If it helps it take off, it will really become the de facto regional boss here, and the balance will be broken.

But the rich people in Shat are different. Shat wants to build a 2,000-kilometer super canal. As long as the rich people bid, Dongda will dare to go and will not hesitate to unveil the list.

First of all, Dongda recognizes Shat as its younger brother. It is the core point for Dongda to stand in the Middle East in the future. Big Goose will not say anything. Everyone has their own younger brothers here. Yilang comes to my place to pay homage, and Shat comes to your place to pay homage. There is nothing wrong.

And Shat itself is a scumbag. The better it develops, the more it needs the blessing of the big brother. Because of the characteristics of Shat's scumbag, Yilang and other old friends in the Middle East will not be too sensitive, and will not think that the rise of Saudi rich industry will pose a great threat to their survival.

On the contrary, the better and richer the Shat local tyrants are, the more they fear that they will be targeted by their neighbors. They are innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure, so they need to rely more on the protection of their big brother.

So, if the local tyrants want to ask Dongda to dig a canal, Dongda will definitely be very happy to help, but Yilang wants to ask Dongda to dig a canal, just think about it.

At this moment, Tian Jiayi turned and said: "I almost forgot, today we received news from Shat, and we can be sure that they really want to dig this canal, planning a sky-high budget of 1 trillion US dollars. Even if the Shat local tyrants have a rich family background, such a heavy burden is still difficult."

Fang Hong couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Oh? So, the Shat local tyrants want to borrow money from me, Qunxing?"
