As the chairman of the Nanhua government and the supreme leader of the party and the army, An Yi has much more information than the average person. As the meeting continued, everyone was listless with the tedious data, and said with a smile:
“This Sino-Japanese battle is much larger and has a wider influence than the previous battles we have launched since we formed the army. Our soldiers have carried forward the style of bravery, tenacity and continuous fighting, and achieved great victories one after another.
It is extremely difficult in the current situation where all the allies are silent. However, all of this is worth it! Today's meeting is coming to an end. You may wish to listen to me talk about the urgently needed resources in these newly occupied places...
…”
Having said this, An Yi stood up and came to the large map of Indochina and the subcontinent where General Yang Fei, a member of the Military Commission and Deputy Chief of General Staff, had explained the war situation. He held a baton in his hand and pointed to the Malay Peninsula:
“Malaya is a good place. It has the world’s second largest reserves and the highest quality tin deposits. These deposits are mainly distributed in West Malaysia. Except for Penang, other states contain large amounts of tin deposits. Tin is mainly used for
To make alloys, once steel is coated with tin, it can resist corrosion and poison. It is widely used in many sectors of military industry, instrumentation, electrical appliances and light industry. The simplest example is that we use it to pack pork, beef and fish cooked food.
Tin cans are truly safe and hygienic because of tin!
"In addition, tin-based bearing alloys synthesized from tin, antimony, and copper and lead-based bearing alloys synthesized from lead, tin, and antimony can be used to manufacture bearings that withstand high-speed and high-pressure mechanical equipment such as steam turbines and aircraft; if added to brass
Tin becomes tin brass, which is mostly used to manufacture ship parts and ship welding rods; tin-lead alloy is common solder, which is very useful when welding metal materials; in printing factories, the lead type used is also an alloy of tin
.
"Tin can not only be combined with many metals to form various alloys, but can also be combined with many non-metals to form various compounds. In the chemical industry, dye industry and rubber industry, it can be used in enamel, glass, plastics, paints, pesticides
It plays an important role in industries such as
Is it worth the hard work to liberate Malaya?"
“Of course it’s worth it!”
The brothers answered all at once, and as expected they were calmed down by An Yi's deliberate show off.
Even Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong, who have always been steady, wanted to know what they would gain from working so hard to occupy these territories. Combining some information they learned on weekdays, they knew that An Yi's words were true, so they kept nodding.
.
An Yi continued: "Brothers, Malaya not only has tin, but also has iron ore reserves of more than 500 million tons, including magnetite, hematite, limonite, brick red soil iron ore, and these iron ore reserves
The ore grade is generally high, with an iron content of more than 50%, and is mainly distributed in Pahang, Terengganu, and Johor. As for the copper mines in Malaya, they are mainly distributed on the southern slope of Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, East Malaysia.
Mamu, with reserves of nearly 200 million tons;
"In addition, Malaya is also a famous exporter of rubber, palm oil and pepper in the world. Before the war, Malaya produced a total of 13 million tons of palm oil and 1.16 million tons of rubber. The role of rubber
I won’t go into details here. It is used in almost all walks of life and can be said to be the most important military supplies. I will only briefly introduce palm oil here...
"Palm oil is palm oil. It is squeezed from the palm fruits of oil palm trees. It is rich in saturated fat. The digestion and absorption rate of palm oil by the human body exceeds 97%. Like all other plant edible oils, palm oil
The oil itself does not contain cholesterol and is currently the second largest vegetable edible oil after soybean oil, even before the rapeseed oil and tea seed oil we know!
"Palm oil plays a great role. It can be fractionated to separate the solid fat from the liquid oil. The solid fat can be used to replace expensive cocoa butter to make chocolate rich in high energy. This is a requirement for soldiers fighting in extreme cold and high altitudes.
It is a must-have food to replenish physical strength in the region. This time, the Second and Third Mountain Groups set off to East India. They carried a large amount of chocolate when they climbed over the mountains and jungles. The liquid oil is mainly used for salad, cooking or frying, and its taste is light.
tasty.
"In addition, a large amount of unfractionated palm oil can be used in the soap making industry. Soaps produced with palm oil can produce durable foam and have strong decontamination capabilities. Palm oil can also be used for tin plating of tinplate and aluminum foil.
Therefore, palm oil can be widely used in the catering industry, food manufacturing industry and oleochemical industry, and it can be regarded as a very valuable strategic material!"
After introducing Malaya, An Yi saw everyone's faces turn red and knew that they were all thinking about how much these things would promote South China's military. He smiled and began to point the baton at Myanmar again.
"Myanmar has a wide variety of mineral resources with abundant reserves, mainly including oil, tungsten, tin, antimony, lead, zinc, copper, manganese, gold, silver and coal. Among them, Myanmar has extremely rich oil reserves. Although a comprehensive geological survey
Work has yet to be done, but according to data kept by the British, proven oil reserves are about 2.5 billion barrels. The oil-producing areas are mainly concentrated in the middle reaches of the Irrawaddy River. The main oil fields include Ren'anqiang Oilfield, Shaobu Oilfield, and Lanze Oilfield.
, Ren'anjia Oilfield and Ren'anma Oilfield, etc., the oil-producing areas also have abundant natural gas reserves. They are currently the oil fields closest to us and with the most development value.
“Myanmar’s tungsten and tin resources are mainly composed of the Dangmei tungsten-tin mining area south of Dawei Port and the western Shan State mining area. Antimony is mainly distributed in the northern Shan State mineralization area centered on the northern and southern Shan states and the southern Mawlam mineralization area.
The Mawlamyine mineralization area in the south is centered on cotton. In addition, the output of lead, zinc, copper, manganese, gold, silver and coal is not low. From last year to this year, the Japanese army produced a total of 1.26 million tons of oil despite the arbitrary use of manpower.
, 100 million cubic feet of natural gas, 470,000 ounces of silver, 600 tons of tungsten, 17,500 tons of tin, 8,000 tons of zinc, 7,500 tons of lead, and 37,500 tons of coal.
“In addition, everyone should not forget that Myanmar is a real country of gems and jade. There are many kinds of jade in its underground storage, with good quality and large reserves. The main ones include ruby, sapphire, crystal stone, diamond, topaz, jade, jade and amber.
etc. The main producing areas of gemstones include Mogok and Dabeshe in Mandalay Province and Mengmi in Shan State. Among them, Mogok in the north is the most important and is known as Myanmar's "Treasure Land", while the northern part of the country bordering Yunnan
Areas including Bhamo, Mi, Mengong and Kemayin are famous jade producing areas.
"The so-called gold in troubled times and precious jade in prosperous times, Myanmar can be called the Kingdom of Jade. More than 95% of the world's jadeite is produced in this country, especially the high-quality jadeite, which is almost 100% produced in Myanmar. You can completely imagine that with such a piece of land,
It means so much to us!”
Xia Jian stood up and said carelessly: "Boss, I heard that the old witch Cixi has treasures like emerald cabbage and emerald watermelon. Then we have an emerald mine, can't we just make as many as we want? Oh my god, then
It’s really a fortune!”
An Yi couldn't help laughing, waved his hand for Xia Jian to sit down, and after a while he said:
"China is a nation that appreciates, admires, and loves jade. At the same time, Chinese people regard jade as a virtue, and are more like a gentleman. They have a gentle and loyal temperament, and implicit talents and virtues that combine light. It symbolizes that we Chinese people have jade-like connotation and
Virtue. Compared with other nations in the world, the Chinese like the green color of emerald very much. It represents vigorous vitality. They feel that the green color of emerald combined with its delicate and transparent water-like texture is intoxicating. At the same time, we yellow people
Skin, wearing jade is also the most beautiful.
"In addition, the Chinese believe that jade has a spiritual nature that can ward off evil spirits and ward off disasters. For example, women wearing jade bracelets not only decorate themselves, but also believe that even if they fall to the ground after wearing a jade bracelet, the jade bracelet will
Even if it is damaged, the body can be intact. This is a long-standing belief that people can nourish jade, and jade can nourish people. This is a very special token.
"However, in today's world, there are so many victims that we can't even guarantee our survival, let alone pursue these illusory things. Whether it's jade or jewelry, not many people care about it. But I believe that as long as a few more decades, people will
When you no longer worry about having a full stomach and have spare money in your hands, you will pursue this kind of material and spiritual things again. That's when the true value of gems and jade can be revealed!
"Brothers, I have asked Chu'er to spend huge sums of money to purchase most of the ore belts in Myanmar. As important assets of the Sichuan South Group, they are temporarily sealed and will be gradually developed after the economy recovers in the future. The funds earned will be mainly used for
Carry out compulsory education, free medical care, military expenditures, scientific research and welfare expenditures, etc. Of course, the brothers here are all people with families. If you have difficulties, you can definitely go to Chu'er. Not to mention too much, you can have an overdraft of hundreds of dollars.
No problem at all...
"All of you here are considered to be the highest-level military and political officials. I hope you won't be blinded by other people's money offensive. Those people who gave you three to five million today are probably eyeing something worth hundreds or tens of millions.
, I will be held accountable if something goes wrong, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
All the generals were awestruck, knowing that An Yi was taking the opportunity to hit everyone.
Relying on the behemoth Sichuan Nan Group, our annual corporate dividends are in the hundreds of thousands. For an ordinary family, 10,000 yuan can already live a stable life. Nanhua's high salary and integrity have reached this point. If you extend your hand again, it will really be unjustifiable.
Seeing everyone thinking silently, An Yi began to point his baton at the Indian subcontinent again.
“The subcontinent is an extremely resource-rich region. The main metal minerals are aluminum, iron, chromium, manganese, copper, lead, zinc, tin, silver and gold. Among them, the output of chromite, manganese ore, iron ore and bauxite ranks first in the world.
Among the top ten, non-metallic minerals are mainly barite, mica, gypsum, dolomite, limestone, magnesite, phosphate rock and talc, among which mica production ranks first in the world and barite ranks third in the world. In addition, energy
In terms of coal and lignite production, the subcontinent ranks third in the world, and its oil and natural gas production accounts for a certain proportion internationally!
“The subcontinent has more than 200 billion tons of coal reserves with a depth of more than 1,200 meters, which are densely distributed in the east and west; oil resources are mainly distributed in Bombay Highlands, Assam, Rajasthan, Tripura, Malaysia
Hanadi, Krishna-Godavari and Cauvery basins, the closest to us is the Digboy oil field in Assam, East India, with an oil production of two million tons last year, regardless of
Both scale and output are much higher than those oil fields in the middle reaches of the Irrawaddy River! Natural gas production in the subcontinent is mainly in the Bombay Highlands and Rajasthan, and it is completely possible to supply gas to Mumbai and several nearby big cities nearby!
“The subcontinent’s proven iron ore resources are mainly distributed in Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka and Bihar. The reserves are the most abundant and the iron ore with the largest mining scale is in the central and southern regions of Bihar. Its iron ore
The output of iron ore is not inferior to that of the mining areas of Western Australia that once provided us with high-quality pig iron. It can be said that the subcontinent, with more than 20 billion tons of iron ore reserves, will provide our steel industry with a steady stream of high-quality steel!
"The subcontinent's bauxite is mainly distributed in Orissa and Andhra on the east coast, with conservative reserves of more than two billion tons. The alumina, primary aluminum, aluminum alloys, etc. we urgently need will be from the subcontinent after losing Australia's mineral deposits.
With timely replenishment, our aircraft and aerospace industries no longer have to worry about insufficient aluminum supplies!"
Everyone listened with great interest, especially member of the Military Commission and Air Force Commander Huang Xuyi, whose face was full of excitement. Obviously, the sudden increase in bauxite production directly benefited the Air Force.
An Yi finally concluded: "The most important point is that the subcontinent, together with Bangladesh, Myanmar and Malaya, has 20% of the world's arable land resources. If we add our South China mainland, Central Asia and Siberia,
This ratio can even increase to 30%! What is this concept? Does anyone know?
"China has always been known to have a vast land and abundant resources, but in fact most of its areas are mountainous and hilly areas. The area of arable land is not even comparable to that of India, let alone the top two countries, the United States and the Soviet Union. The area of arable land we have now has
It is three to four times that of China. With these fertile lands, we Chinese will not go hungry from now on!"
The conference room burst into warm applause.
Since the Republic of China, famine has occurred in the country almost every year, and many people have starved to death every year. Especially the severe drought and flood disasters that swept across the country from 2029 to 31, with more than 300 million people affected, and most of China was destroyed.
As a result, residents first ate tree bark, then sold their children and daughters, and finally began to eat dead corpses and easily ate human beings. Over the past few years, the cumulative death toll was as many as four to five million, and the tragedy was unbearable to look back on.
Although there were constant disasters in the following years, such as drought, hail, floods, and insect disasters in 1932, the Yellow River burst in 2033, the Yangtze River overflowed its banks, earthquakes and plagues, the Yellow River dam burst in 2034, drought, floods, locusts, and wind disasters
Raging, the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers overflowed in 1935, the Chengdu earthquake, the severe drought in the southwest, northwest, and north China from 2036 to 2037, etc., there were almost no years without disasters. However, due to the development and growth of Jiangnan Group and Sichuan Nan Group, An Yi
They sent people to buy back a large amount of food from the United States, Southeast Asia and other places, saving the lives of countless victims, and the number of victims plummeted.
After all, food is the foundation of a country's stability. Now that there is suddenly so much arable land, the Chinese nation has a much higher chance of surviving after a natural disaster. This is the most important thing.
