1469 The world's darkest prison(1/2)
What Mr. Fidel said is that in fact, from my perspective, Cuba is a maritime country. Of course, it must have its own navy. Please forgive me, our group now has a lot of retired warships, but now we are with
The United States is in a dangerous moment. You saw the naval battle a few days ago. As long as there is something slightly wrong, we may suffer huge losses. Therefore, we cannot bring some advanced warships when I come.
I saw some internal information of our group. We have 6 Delhi-class destroyers in our South Asian Inland Sea Fleet. Although they are decades old warships, I don’t think Central American countries have such powerful navies.
If they come here, they are definitely like this." Li Cong said and measured out his big screen with his finger. Some waste products must also be said to be good things. These things were not cheap back then.
, even if they are all dismantled and sold for scrap metal now, it will cost tens of millions of yuan. The cost of transporting these six ships is not a small sum, especially since they have to be modified by themselves. This investment will cost nearly two billion yuan. This money must be spent.
When you get to the bright spot, you have to ask this guy to take a good look at you. Anyway, you just want face, so I will give you face.
Delhi-class destroyer? As the first person in Cuba, Fidel also studied some military weapons in the world. When those things were launched, India was happy for a long time. Finally, it had some weapons of its own.
It should be said that there are some advanced weapons, and some good people have compared this warship with the Russian Sovremenny-class, Fuso's Kongo-class, and the American Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. Although it is the weakest,
After all, people have entered this circle. Being able to enter this circle means that their abilities are pretty good. Fidel is very clear about the naval power of several surrounding countries. If you put two machine guns on a fishing thing, that thing is a navy.
At best, it is just an armed fishing boat and has no practical significance.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Li. I thank you on behalf of our Cuban people. As for the cigar project, you can just take care of it. I believe that my friends will not let us suffer. Recently, I will find someone to take care of some domestic projects."
I give you the information on cigar companies. Most of them are state-owned enterprises, so there should be no difficulty in receiving them. My people will also help Mr. Li. I believe Mr. Li will carry forward our national quintessence." Fidel finished speaking.
He picked up the red wine that Li Cong gave him on the table. Li Cong felt a little happy in his heart and drank the red wine worth hundreds of dollars in one gulp.
Looking at the remaining fleet, Lin Jianye, as Li Yunhai's chief of staff, was directly left by Li Cong in Cuba to serve as the chief executive of the Cuban military base. He was promoted a small level and became a major general. After all,
It seems a bit unpleasant to say that the military commander of a base is a brigadier general.
"Haha, General Lin, your military uniform is really good." Li Cong, who had gotten into the cigar incident, seemed extremely happy at the moment.
"Don't laugh at me, I'd rather the group didn't give me this level. Look at my colleagues, they are all major generals. What kind of troops they command, look at what kind of troops I, a major general, command. Just
How many destroyers and frigates plus a bunch of small ships can I become a rear admiral? This is obviously what a commodore should do. If I were a commodore, I might be happy for a while, but it's a pity that I am a rear admiral.
, It’s not very consistent with my official position.” When Li Yunhai was here, Chief of Staff Lin basically didn’t speak much. Now when he speaks, he is directly carved from the same mold as Li Yunhai, and he treats the people at the headquarters
But he didn't hide his discomfort at all. Li Cong really didn't know how to arrange them. He originally had good intentions in moving up a level, and Li Yunhai also felt that it was okay. Unexpectedly, the person involved felt that this matter was not good.
"Haha, General Lin is wrong. Although your establishment is the smallest, according to my calculations, your place will definitely be the busiest place in the group navy in the future. This is not an ordinary place. Our group has the largest
Our enemy is actually the Skull and Bones Society, and this is the front line against the Skull and Bones Society. If it’s not lively here, how can other places be lively? You will definitely have more and more organizations here, so work hard." Li Congxiao
Then he said, General Lin also knew this very well, otherwise he would not continue to stay here, he would definitely cry and shout to go back with Li Yunhai.
"Haha, Brother Li, you are not an outsider after all. Speaking of which, I am a generation above you. According to your old uncle, I am also your uncle. But I am not someone who takes advantage of you. From now on
Let's just be brothers. I know you're from the headquarters, and you must be better informed than me. How about if you have any top-secret information, give it to us?" General Lin's look doesn't look like that.
He was a general of the group navy, more like a guy buying and selling things on the street. Li Cong shook his head helplessly. Good guy, this senior navy official seems to have a thick skin as a standard these days.
"I don't know much about other information, but I know that this may be the location where the Atlantic Fleet will be stationed in the future. There is no place more suitable than here. Of course, this is just an idea of my own. What will happen in the future?
It has to be decided by the upper management of the group." Li Cong gave it up and didn't make it very clear. However, the news is considered good. After all, it may become the home port of the Atlantic Fleet as this place develops and grows in the future.
General Lin is not a fool. After hearing what Li Cong said, he saw the location of Havana on the map. Although this is not the best location to block the Florida Strait, it is also the best location that the energy group can get. Here
It will definitely be a battleground for military strategists in the future.
The Florida Strait is a strait between the Florida Peninsula in southeastern North America, Cuba Island, and the Bahamas Islands, connecting the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the maritime chokepoints. The Florida Warm Current (part of the Gulf Stream) passes through the strait from west to east.
flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
It is about 480 kilometers long and 80 to 240 kilometers wide. It is deep in the south and shallow in the north. The general depth is 500 to 800 meters, the deepest in the north is 868 meters, and the deepest in the southwest is more than 2,000 meters. There is a group of coral reefs in the middle, and the surrounding water depth is less than 200 meters. Florida
The warm current flows from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic Ocean through here. Then it merges with the Antilles Warm Current to form the powerful Gulf Stream. The flow speed of the water in the Strait is about 2.7 knots, which is close to the flow speed of Miami (30 kilometers away from the west coast), reaching 3.8 knots in summer.
, 2.4 sections in winter. The average surface water temperature is 28~29c in summer and 24~25c in winter; the surface salinity is 36‰~36.5‰.
There is the Key West Naval Base of the United States on the north side of the strait, and Cuba's Havana Sea and Air Force Base on the south side. The main ports along the coast are Miami, Cardenas, Matanzas, etc. Now the addition of energy groups has made this place more
It's even more confusing.
Central America and the Caribbean are the "backyard" of the United States, where 50% of the United States' foreign trade, 66.7% of energy, and more than 50% of strategic materials are gathered. The Florida Strait faces Cuba. It imposes economic sanctions and military sanctions on Cuba.
A large number of U.S. naval and air forces are stationed in the direct sea area under pressure. Together with the Panama Canal, it constitutes two "throats" for the U.S. military to control the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and is classified as the third "throat" that the U.S. military must control.
The Florida Peninsula is a large peninsula protruding from the southeastern coast of the United States. It is roughly equivalent to the scope of Florida. It is a raised submarine plain made of Tertiary limestone. The karst terrain is very developed. There are many lakes formed by the accumulation of water in the dissolution depressions, numbering as many as 30,000.
Many. The lake is large and shallow. Lake Okeechobee has a surface area of 3,273 square kilometers, but its depth is no more than 4.5 meters. There are many calcareous springs in the middle. It has a humid subtropical climate. Hurricanes often occur at the turn of summer and autumn, which can easily cause catastrophes. It is rich in citrus and other fruits.
and vegetables. The northern half is the largest phosphate mineral producing area in North America. It is a cold and summer resort. There are world-famous recreational cities on the east and west coasts.
The main ports are Miami: a coastal city in southeastern Florida, USA. It is also a world-famous tropical climate tourism city. The population urban area extends along Biscayne Bay. It is 13 kilometers wide. The port is deep. Although it was developed for health tourism, its
The center is in Miami Beach on the other side of Biscayne Bay. The city is mainly industrial and commercial, with many food processing and other light industries. It is also a distribution center for grapes, fruits, etc. The fishery is also prosperous. It has army and naval bases. It is a relay station for air traffic with Latin America. The south coast
It’s the island of Cuba. Speaking of which, Cuba also owns 50% of the island. It’s just that the United States has been doing well if they can’t bully Cuba over the years. How can they let them have any rights?
In fact, in recent years, energy groups have been continuously encroaching on some of the strategic locations of Skull and Bones. This strait at this moment is definitely one of the thirteen important transportation channels that the US military wants to occupy. But if you look closely, it can now be proven that they
I simply don't have the ability to control it anymore.
In recent decades, the US military has been seeking "sea control" in an attempt to control the world's 16 most important maritime arteries to ensure that it can block other countries' maritime transport ships and naval operations during wartime and maintain the security of the US military's waterways.
And through effective control of these waterways in peacetime, a large amount of various intelligence is obtained to ensure the implementation of the US military's global strategy.
The sixteen chokepoints listed by the U.S. Navy are: Gulf of Alaska, Korea Strait, Makassar Strait, Sunda Strait, Malacca Strait, Cape Bab el-Mandeb at the southern end of the Red Sea and Suez Canal at the northern end, Gibraltar Strait, Skagerrak
Strait and Kattegat (two passages from the Baltic Sea into the North Sea), the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom strait, waterways south of Africa and North America, the Strait of Hormuz between the Gulf of Bosnia and the Indian Ocean,
Panama Canal and Florida Straits.
These straits can be roughly divided into the following four categories based on factors such as the degree of relevance to China's interests, geographical distance, and the situation under the control of the US military: one is the straits around China's offshore; the other is those related to our country.
The third is the strait passages that are closely related to national strategic resources. The third is the strait passages that involve global maritime interests. The fourth is the strait passages that are far away from our country and currently have relatively little impact on us.
Of course, there are no strict boundaries for the classification of the above-mentioned strait passages. With the development of the times, the expansion of national overseas interests and the increasing pace of maintaining maritime security, the classification of categories must also be adjusted and changed. For example, the strategy in the Middle East
In the past, this was what the United States had to fight for in some important areas in Asia. But now that the energy group has become stronger, they simply don’t have that ability.
While Li Cong was busy doing his own thing, Qin You'er was not idle either. At this moment, he had almost completed most of the playground plans, and he also learned a lot of good things from the relationship. These things
Some even Li Cong didn't understand very well. For example, Qin You'er only spent one morning to understand the folk customs of Cuba very clearly. It will definitely be useful for his own business, and it is still very important.
The kind. Just like what she described to Li Cong.
According to Cuban business etiquette, you should wear conservative suits at all times. When visiting government agencies, you must make an appointment first. Many residents believe in Catholicism, and religion has a great influence on their living habits. For example, the number "13" is taboo. It is even more taboo.
Entertainment activities are held on Friday the 13th; babies must be baptized after birth and given a Christian name; it is customary to celebrate Christmas, Carnival, etc. There is also an interesting custom, that is, on New Year's Eve every year, according to the custom, every day
Everyone must prepare a bowl of water. After the clock strikes 12 at midnight, everyone will pour the prepared bowl of water outside to express the farewell to the old and the new.
All economic institutions are state-owned, and all trade organizations are under the unified leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. When dealing with Cuban businessmen, you must have perseverance, perseverance, and patience to make business. Cuban officials are relatively friendly to foreigners.
When talking, it is advisable to avoid talking about matters other than the business of the company you represent. Cubans will ask you for a discount. Counteroffers are very serious. To exchange Cuban currency, be sure to go to a bank or a designated official exchange office. If the other party entertains
When you eat, it must be a group of people in a public restaurant. It will not be a one-on-one secret meal in a hotel. Please note that it is forbidden to take photos of military facilities and government agencies. Talk less about Cuba's internal affairs and foreign affairs. This is the most important thing. That is
Li Cong felt that he should write this down to avoid making mistakes in the future. Of course, he couldn't feel it now because the whole of Cuba was begging him.
Cubans are mainly accustomed to eating Latin American colonial Western food. They generally like to eat grilled, fried, and fried dishes. They like strong food, but do not eat spicy food. They eat bread, rice, and pasta.
Pork and mutton are their main foods, but they also like to eat fish and foods of various flavors. They also like coffee, cocoa, and black tea. The traditional Christmas dishes are skewered on barbecue sticks. Cuba is rich in tropical fruits, and residents generally eat mangoes.
, spinach, citrus, papaya, etc. cut into pieces, mixed with a lot of sugar and eaten. The amusement park may not have local people as its main customers at the beginning, but they will become customers there in the future.
There are definitely examples of this in the world, so this matter must be done well.
Qin You'er has also chosen the location of the amusement park. Originally, Li Cong wanted to do this with him, but now it seems that Li Cong no longer needs to do this. He can solve it by himself. Just choose the location.
In the world-class tourist center of Varadero.
Varadero is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is the most beautiful beach integrating sea, beach, sunshine and blue color. It is also a famous tourist resort with tropical style in Cuba. People who have been to Cuba say: "
You don’t know the beauty of Cuba until you come to Varadero.”
Varadero is 140 kilometers east of Havana. Li Cong originally thought that this girl would definitely build the playground in Havana, the largest city. Unexpectedly, he found this place. The Icax Peninsula where it is located is
Like a long and narrow fishhook thrown into the sea. Varadero is the closest place in Cuba to the United States, and from there on to the north is the Strait of Florida. Since this place is only open to tourists, it is the most unlike place in Cuba, but it is
It is the most paradise-like place in Cuba. The 20-kilometer-long white sand beach, light blue water and colorful underwater world make it the largest seaside resort in the entire Caribbean. Since Cuba opened to foreign tourism in the 1970s,
Since then, 13 foreign tourists have spent all their holidays in Cuba on the beaches of Varadero. The blue sky and white clouds, the clear blue water, the gentle white sandy beach, can be held tightly in the palm of your hand~~
~The white muslin slipping between the fingers and the breeze blow away the scorching tropical sun, and the comfortable breeze makes the sleep of any leisure vacationer sweeter. Varadero is famous for its blue beaches. The beaches on the beach
Visitors lie or sit, letting the sun bask in the sun and letting the sea breeze caress them gently. People in the sea swim or play, and sometimes fish and shrimp swim by their feet. There are many interesting things. It makes people happy and forget to leave.
I didn't want to go ashore for a long time.
Varadero has 120 kilometers of beaches, bathing beaches, pure white gauze, clear blue water, blue sky, charming scenery, abundant sunshine, and iodine-containing air. It is known as the "Garden of Eden on Earth"
Varadero now has an 8-kilometer-long bathing beach, 9 hotels, and 13 villa villages. The Youm River Valley seems to be a naturally formed semicircular ladder-shaped sky theater, with a 150-meter sky-high theater behind it.
The high hill is regarded by many as one of the most impressive scenery. Qin You'er also discovered that if he built a hotel here, he would not necessarily have much income. But if there was a huge amusement park, then it would not be possible.
Same, of course, this amusement park must have a large water park as well as a surfing and yacht club.
The Yuri River and the Bacunayagua River flow there. The climate is pleasant, the vegetation is abundant, and the scenery is tranquil. It is very suitable for relaxing and eliminating the tension and fatigue of modern life. It treats asthma, obesity and high blood pressure, and is conducive to tourism for third-year-olds.
The beaches here are suitable for swimming all year round. Even people who can't swim can enjoy the blessings of the sea. Walking a long way into the sea, the sea water will only reach your waist; and the beach also has natural you
Places to visit: caves, lakes, islands, archaeological sites, diving, healing mire and scorching yarn. Beautiful underwater coral world and strange marine life, rare local animals and plants. These are the future development of playgrounds
