Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

While the lame man was still complaining about his legs, Tan Zhenhua had already begun to explain his reasons for building Huangyan Island.

"Aside from my personal interests, the construction of Huangyan Island has at least six positive meanings for China, and each of these six positive meanings is of great economic and strategic value."

Yeah, this kid Tan is reporting and compiling reasons for himself. With this kid's ability to fool people, with these 6 reasons, it is estimated that he can convince most leaders, right?

It is rare for the lame man to be serious and open the small book in front of him and start to make notes. Not only is he doing this, but everyone from China Harbour Engineering Co., Ltd., including Lin Yichong, is also doing it in unison. After all, the nature of this project It's too sensitive. They also have to report to the competent authority and the Ministry of Communications of China for the project status, right?

Tan Er raised his first finger, and slowly began to explain his six reasons, and the first one shocked people's minds: "The topography of Huangyan Island is special. After leveling, deep excavation, and landfilling, Huangyan The island and its lagoon area can be built into a comprehensive support base. The sea area here is different from the dense reefs of the Xisha and Nansha Islands. Huangyan Island is the only outcropping reef in the surrounding sea area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and the area of ​​this reef is huge, reaching 130 The square kilometer is more than any single reef in Nansha and three times the area of ​​Meiji Reef in Nansha. According to the situation obtained from the field survey, the shallow water area of ​​the entire reef in Huangyan Island is vast and it is very convenient for development and construction. The entrance is wide, and large ships can be entered and exited after being dredged and deep-dug. Due to a complete atoll block, the wind and waves outside the reef cannot enter the lagoon. It is a good haven for ships. Therefore, as long as scientific planning, reasonable layout, and careful construction, Huangyan Island can be built into a fully functional support base."

Well, Dr. Tan is well versed in the breadth and depth of the Chinese language, and the words are cryptic, but everyone can hear them clearly and plainly—what else can this guarantee base guarantee in the future?

Before everyone could recall from the shock, Tan Zhenhua raised a second finger: "Huangyan Island is strategically located and can be used as a hub for our strategic frontier. It is not far from the Philippine military port of Subic Bay. To 200 kilometers, it is only more than 300 kilometers away from Manila, the capital of the country, and only a thousand kilometers from the coastal area of ​​Annan. If Xisha holds the west gate of the South China Sea, then Huangyan Island holds the east gate of the South China Sea. In particular, it can form an echelon structure with Qiongzhou Island and Dongguang Province to realize the echelon coverage and extension of China’s national defense force over a large area of ​​the South China Sea."

Yes, the first reason is relatively obscure, but the second reason is completely explicit.

The third finger was raised again: "Everyone knows that I used to stay in the sea area of ​​Jiuzhang Qun Reef for a period of time. During that time, I once carefully inspected the Meiji Reef. This reef is similar to Huangyan Island. It is also an atoll, located at 9 degrees 55 minutes north latitude, 115 degrees 32 minutes east longitude, about 9 kilometers long from east to west, and about 5.2 kilometers wide from north to south. There is a lagoon in the middle of Mischief Reef with a water depth of about 25.6 meters. The surrounding reefs are out of the water at low tide. 2 meters, there are 3 entrances to enter the lagoon. These 3 entrances are in the south and southwest, and large ships can enter the lagoon through the largest entrance in the south at high tide. The southwest gate is 92 meters wide, 414 meters long, and has a waterway depth of 23.8 Meters, there is a bit of reef at the mouth of the waterway, which obstructs the navigation channel. The south gate has a bit of reef distribution, which makes the water channel divided into two parts. The eastern channel is narrow, only 18 meters, and the water depth is 1.8 meters; the west road is 37 meters wide, 275 meters long, and 18 meters deep. Above. The northeastern part of the atoll is relatively shallow, and there are reef heads with a water depth of only 1.8 meters. Based on these conditions, as long as scientific planning, Meiji Reef can also be built into an excellent comprehensive support base. Once completed, it can interact with Huangyan Island. In order to fight the horns, construct a stable defense zone."

Okay, is this the typical "eating the pot and looking at the bowl"? The project on Huangyan Island hasn't even said a word. This young master actually misses Meiji Reef?

"Fourthly, it is convenient for us to gradually recover the sovereignty of islands and reefs invaded by countries along the coast of the South China Sea in the future." It seems that Tan Zhenhua has no intention of blocking it today, and his words become more explicit: "As everyone knows, some islands and reefs of the Nansha Islands are now in control. It is not in our hands. Although after the "Chigua Reef Battle", we have gained some footholds in the Jiuzhang Group of reefs, the natural conditions of these islands and reefs in our control are obvious compared to the invaded part. Rather, my opinion is that “congenital deficiencies are made up for later.” As I said just now, once the support bases on Huangyan Island and Mischief Reef are completed, the two bases can be used as the center and the Nansha Island and reefs with suitable conditions can be selected gradually. The transformation will form multiple strategic nodes in the form of a "pearl necklace" and complete the strategic deployment of the entire South China Sea region. In the future, it is entirely my initiative to choose between "since ancient times" or "shelving disputes and joint development."

"Fifth point, I think everyone here should have heard of the so-called "first island chain" concept. This concept was first proposed by the US Secretary of State Dulles in the 1950s. MacArthur called it the so-called "unsinkable". This is the strategic layout of the Western powers headed by the United States trying to encircle China and deter China with military deterrence. On this island chain, there are Soya Strait, Tsugaru Strait, Korea Strait, Osumi Strait, and Tuga Strait. The Ra Strait, Amami Strait, Miyako Strait, Ishigaki Strait, Yonaguni Strait, Bashi Strait, Balintang Strait, the Feibei Strait Group, and the Feinan Strait Group are the main transportation routes for China to enter and exit the Western Pacific. Huangyan Island is located The forefront of the first island chain, the control bus, the Balintang Strait, controls this island, which is tantamount to wedging a nail in the first island chain, which will help us further break the blockade of the first island chain. From the actual situation, the weakest link of the first island chain is precisely in the direction of Philippine ice in the South China Sea!"

"The sixth point is to grasp and firmly control Huangyan Island and turn it into a major fulcrum and springboard to the Nansha Islands. It will have a sufficient deterrent effect on the surrounding countries that are unkind to our territory and territorial waters. In today’s complex, ever-changing and treacherous international political environment, under certain circumstances, the muscles must be properly flexed in order to achieve the effect of "a soldier without a fight" and truly achieve "whatever you do." The north-south wind, I am walking in a leisurely courtyard" state!

Tan Zhenhua finally finished talking about his six reasons. There was no sound in the conference room of Novosibirsk University. After a long time, there was a burst of warm applause!

Lin Yichong stood up and said, "Dr. Tan, you said so well, you have clearly analyzed the strategic significance of controlling Huangyan Island, but after all, you have taken down the island in the name of tourism and cultural development. If you build some sensitive facilities on the island with great fanfare, I'm afraid..."

Tan Zhenhua smiled and cut off his words and said: "I just said that my goal is to build Huangyan Island into a modern comprehensive support base. Well, President Lin, we can grasp the standard of this "comprehensive support". What about the scale! Besides, the atoll with an area of ​​130 square kilometers has beautiful scenery and abundant fishery resources. If you don’t take advantage of its advantages to create sufficient economic benefits, you are also panicked, don’t you think? So my plan is roughly Is such that……"
