Chapter 893: The Road of Infrastructure Maniac
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is definitely a century project.
It is the world's largest inter-basin water diversion project, and it is also China's most invested, longest-term, and most widely-influenced water conservancy project.
It is a strategic measure to alleviate the severe shortage of water resources in northern my country, optimize water resource allocation, and improve the environment for water conservation.
The project has a long distance, large investment, wide scope, and complex geological conditions. It includes main projects such as water source projects and water transfer projects. Its operation and management involve natural, social, economic and ecological systems.
The biggest problem of the "South-to-North Water Diversion" project is not technical problems. Although there will be many technical problems, they cannot be compared with the technical problems encountered by super-large reservoir hydropower stations. Its biggest problem is actually the problem of investment, that is, the problem of money.
Why didn't the "South-to-North Water Diversion" project be launched before?
It's because the country doesn't have so much money!
And why can the country launch the "South-to-North Water Diversion" project now? !
Naturally, it's because the country has money!
In the past year, the national fiscal revenue was 1.89 trillion yuan, and the central fiscal revenue was 1.14 trillion yuan, which was a significant increase compared with the period before 1993.
Because of this, the local governments were criticized a lot.
In addition to military expenditure and scientific research investment, a very important expenditure of the central fiscal revenue is national-level projects, especially this century-long project.
The "South-to-North Water Diversion" project is composed of central fiscal appropriations, provincial funds and municipal funds.
The meeting lasted for three days and involved all aspects, but the meeting approved the launch of the "South-to-North Water Diversion" project and determined the allocation ratio of central fiscal appropriations, provincial funds and municipal funds.
This also means that China has once again launched a century-long project.
One century-long project after another, China has gone further and further in infrastructure construction, and is definitely the most beautiful child in the world.
While China is celebrating the Spring Festival, the world is not peaceful.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, an emergency meeting of the four heads of state of Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and Israel was held in Cairo. In the joint communiqué, the parties present declared that they fully respected and abided by the peace agreement and promoted economic cooperation.
Both sides are trying to control their differences and avoid war.
Since the end of the fifth Middle East war, Israel has returned to its original borders, with a land area of 12,200 square kilometers, while Palestine has a land area of 14,800 square kilometers. This area has gradually returned to peace.
But peace is relative, and small conflicts have never ceased.
Although Palestine is poorer than Israel, it is backed by the vast Islamic world, especially those Arab white-robed beards, who provide a lot of funds behind Palestine.
This allows Palestine, although it does not have particularly advanced weapons, to have a large amount of firearms, bullets, grenades, and artillery during World War II. Almost everyone has a 54-type pistol, a 56-type semi-automatic rifle, etc., and almost every family has thousands of bullets.
The Palestinian army is equipped with infantry guns, 81mm curved-fire infantry guns, etc. These weapons are naturally backward in this era, but they can still kill people.
There are also various rockets.
The recent situation is somewhat out of control.
After experiencing previous failures, the Israeli army licked its wounds silently. Now it has almost recovered its vitality and seems to be ready to move again, wanting to regain its place and become the little bully in the Middle East again.
Anyway, with the United States as a backup, it can't be too bad.
And Palestine and other parties are all Arab brothers. They naturally dislike Israel, especially when reading the Bible. The hatred deepens every time they read it.
Besides, the land here originally belonged to the Arabs.
The Jews took a Jewish Bible from an unknown time and said that this is their land, so they took away their land. How could the Arabs be willing to do this?
This emergency meeting of the four heads of state is to control differences and prevent war.
Now everyone is busy with the economy, who wants to fight?
The Israeli leader also knows that the United States is busy with economic construction now. Even when it was slapped in Somalia, it maintained a strong strategic determination. It has no intention of foreign wars, so it is natural to take it easy.
In addition to the Middle East, many things have happened in Europe and the United States. First, British Prime Minister Major said that he would not join the European Monetary Union before 1998.
In addition, there is a meeting of finance ministers of the seven Western countries held in Toronto, Canada from March 3 to 5. The meeting supports the plan of the United States to assist Mexico in solving the financial crisis.
In addition, Moldova and the United States held talks on bilateral relations and regional situations.
In addition, the Irish Parliament passed a bill to abolish the state of emergency law that lasted for 56 years to promote the peace process in Northern Ireland.
"This Sino-US trade~~~" Liu Tao looked at the seven o'clock news and shook his head.
This kind of thing is not unfamiliar to China in recent years. It is obviously a win-win trade, but people just don't like you.
This is the case in the United States and Europe.
This kind of thing is not new in recent years. It will appear every now and then.
The war of words between the two sides is not once or twice.
Now China is becoming more and more experienced in this regard, and its confidence is growing.
On this day, when Liu Tao was about to return to the Panshan Group headquarters, at the airport, Liu Tao's secretary whispered in his ear.
Liu Tao was surprised, but the 16 NATO countries decided to directly exchange with Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritania, and Israel, which kicked off NATO's "Southward Strategy".
NATO's southward march was beyond his expectation. No one knew whether it would cause a chain reaction in North Africa and the Middle East.
But there was no doubt that this was a big deal, because the strength of the NATO group was beyond doubt.
Except for the polar bear and China, no one could stop the NATO group.
Even the current Arab coalition could not do anything.
After returning to Panshan Group, Liu Tao dealt with the affairs of this period.
Mainly signing some documents and reports, the secretary's office and the office were always available for him to consult for any questions.
The secretary's office and the office were the closest places to Liu Tao's office. They were located in the power center of Panshan Group and knew the most about Panshan Group.
After dealing with the affairs of Panshan Group, Liu Tao went to Yangcheng Shipyard.
It was the 001 light aircraft carrier, and the launching ceremony was to be held.
Although this light aircraft carrier was an order from Thailand and did not belong to the navy, the navy still sent a high-level delegation to participate in the launching ceremony. The commander of the navy personally led the delegation to the Yangcheng Shipyard.
Looking at the 001 light aircraft carrier in the dock, all naval officers and soldiers are excited.
The 001 light aircraft carrier crew specially formed by the navy was ready before the launching ceremony, with 685 crew members and 366 aviation personnel, a total of 1,051 people.
After the launching ceremony, these crew members will begin to familiarize themselves with the 001 light aircraft carrier and prepare for their own 001 light aircraft carrier.
