Chapter 637 Saint Goga Islands

The São Goga Islands are a group of islands in the Indian Ocean and a small independent country.This country has a population of just over 20. There are no minerals on the island, and the area of ​​arable land is very limited. The local residents mainly rely on fishing for a living, and their income level is very low.

In the waters near the St. Goga Islands, there is a busy trans-Indian Ocean route. Hundreds of ocean-going cargo ships pass here every day, but none of them will stop here, because there are only a few small fishing ports in the St. Goga Islands. There are no conditions to accommodate large ships.

Due to its small population, small economic scale, and insignificant status in the Indian Ocean routes, the San Goga Islands are inconspicuous internationally. Even when the United Nations holds a plenary session, it is a soy sauce role.For such a country, not only He Fei had never heard of it before, even Lin Zhenhua just knew that there is such a place.If it weren't for the local information that Chen Tian entrusted to him with a large portfolio, he wouldn't even be able to find the location of this place, because this small island country doesn't even have the qualifications to be a Duanniang.

But it was such a place that Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to visit in his busy schedule. The reason was that Chen Tian told him that the navy wanted him to "bleed some blood".

Starting from escorting to the Indian Ocean, the Chinese navy has embarked on the road of blue water.Building a blue-water navy that can project power around the globe requires having enough overseas bases to support naval ships.The construction of overseas military bases is a very sensitive matter. No matter how good a country has a relationship with China, it is extremely cautious in accepting a naval base.Not to mention China, even the United States has repeatedly encountered various protests at overseas military bases, and sometimes had to shut down Zhang Daji in a desperate manner.It can be seen that the construction of a military base is not a very easy task.

In view of this, the Chinese military chose a strategy of deception. They decided not to directly negotiate with foreign countries on the establishment of military ports, but to entrust domestic private enterprises to purchase ports overseas, and then transform them according to the standards of military and civilian use.As a civilian port, it should be possible to receive warships to dock occasionally. As for how long these warships can dock, that is a matter of different opinions and wisdom.

To say that this strategy is deceitful is because in fact, both the country where the port is located and the world public opinion know what is going on, but as long as you can't grasp the opponent's handle, you can't prove that it is a military base.At that time, the white money will be thrown down, and whether it is military or not, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?

The first batch of overseas bases planned by the Navy are on the route of warships from China's coastal ports to the frigate area in the Gulf of Aden.On this route, as early as more than ten years ago, there was already a port controlled by the Chinese. It was a deep-water port named Jinmao in Myanmar, and it was Qi Yue, Lan Wufeng, Song Qiyuan and others. I bought it as an important gift to my motherland.

Over the years, the navy's engineering and technical personnel have already carried out many modifications to it. This time the escort formation also stopped here specifically for a shore replenishment exercise, proving that it is a very ideal overseas base.

According to the plan, China will build a railway from Yunnan to Jinmao Port in the future, so as to connect Jinmao Port with the mainland of China, and its strategic significance is immeasurable.

From Myanmar to the Gulf of Aden, there is still a voyage of several thousand nautical miles in between. The navy's plan is to establish another intermediate supply base.After several twists and turns, everyone finally set their sights on this small and humble island country—the St. Goga Islands.

Geographically, the São Goga Islands are located in the middle of several popular waterways in the Indian Ocean, and are indeed an ideal location for establishing a naval base.After analyzing remote sensing images and consulting relevant publications, military experts determined that there are conditions for building a deep-water port.The largest island in the archipelago, Ihalos, has an area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers, enough to accommodate a military logistics supply base.

The target is selected, the next question is who will talk about the construction of the base.The St. Goga Islands only have the conditions to establish a good port. So far, the port does not exist.If you want to build a naval base here, you must first lease a piece of land, and then start building a port. At least one [-]-ton ship berth, plus several thousand-ton ship berths.In order to avoid accusations from international public opinion, this port must be established in the name of the people.The point is, why is there any reason to build such a large port in a place where there are neither products for export nor imports?

The military discussed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the State Planning Commission for a long time. In the end, Zhang Zhifang, the former naval equipment minister who had retired, laughed and recommended someone. No need to ask, this person is Lin Zhenhua.

Hearing that Minister Zhang recommended Lin Zhenhua, everyone in the navy was very happy.This Lin Zhenhua, because his beloved sister was injured, called on the first day of the Lunar New Year and scolded all the officers and officers of the navy. Everyone has not reported this revenge yet.Just in time, let's take this opportunity and let this guy pay off his merits.

The officials of several state ministries and commissions are also quite familiar with Lin Zhenhua. They know that Lin Zhenhua is a decent man, enthusiastic about national affairs, and at the same time has a very active mind, and can often solve problems eclecticly. Lin Zhenhua is undoubtedly the most suitable person to find someone who has enough weight to contact the San Goga Islands base.

In this way, when Lin Zhenhua was still in Yemen, he received a notice from China asking him to take a trip to the Saint-Goja Islands as soon as possible to implement this matter.At worst, we have to connect the line first so that we can continue to contact and communicate in the future.

Of course, this notice from China was not an order, but it was Wang Baoxing, the commander of the Navy's first escort formation, who sent this notice to Lin Zhenhua, and the implication was very obvious.Didn't you Lin Zhenhua scold us for not coming out to protect the lives and property of the people?Well, now that we're here, shouldn't you do your duty too?
Wang Baoxing took the fleet outside the port of Aden, dropped anchor, and went ashore by helicopter.He nominally went to Yading Hospital to visit He Lan, but only a small bag of snacks and nutritional supplements was given to He Lan. A personal letter to Lin Zhenhua.Seeing this situation, Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to shake his head, half-pushed and half-assed to continue this sacred work.

After attending the Independence Day celebration of the Republic of Goma, Lin Zhenhua brought He Fei to Sri Lanka first, and then took a seaplane from Sri Lanka to the San Goja Islands, which is the only fast way for this island country to communicate with the outside world .Of course, there are other ways to go to this island country, that is to take a small passenger ship from Sri Lanka. It is said that it takes two days to get there at sea, and the accident rate is as high as several thousand points.

Along with Lin Zhenhua and the others, a port construction expert sent by the navy and a security officer sent by Chen Tian were also on their way to the St. Goga Islands.

The navy's port construction expert is named Lu Donglin, and his public identity is an engineer of the Xunyang Port Machinery Company.This Xunyang Port Machinery Company is not simple either. It is a company established by Xie Youshan, the former deputy mayor of Xunyang, who went to sea to start a business. A large enterprise with billions of dollars has been doing business in the Port of Amsterdam.

The security officer's name was Li Jinbao, but Lin Zhenhua never figured out whether this was his real name or a pseudonym.Like his name, Li Jinbao looks ordinary, even a bit wretched.His public identity is the driver and bodyguard of the chairman of Hanhua Heavy Industry, but his big belly stood next to Lin Zhenhua, making it impossible to judge who he and Lin Zhenhua are protecting.

Such a four-person combination seems quite reasonable. From the perspective of outsiders, Lin Zhenhua is a Chinese nouveau riche who is looking for projects all over the world to invest in.I don't know which thread in his mind was wrong, but he actually fell in love with a place like the San Goga Islands, so he ran over with the marketing director, driver and bodyguard, and an engineer borrowed from the cooperative unit.

When Lin Zhenhua was standing at the gate of the Presidential Palace of the Republic of San Goga Islands located in the center of Ighalos Island, this is how he introduced his purpose to the guards at the gate.In order to make the president of the St. Goga Islands pay more attention to himself, Lin Zhenhua specifically told the guards that the Hanhua Heavy Industry Group under his command currently has more than 20 employees, which is the same as the population of the St. Goga Islands. If you include family members , which is equivalent to two St. Goga Islands.

"According to the courtesy of the head of state, invite this Mr. Lin to come in." President Kopechni immediately issued an order after hearing the guard's report.There is no doubt that Lin Zhenhua is the most powerful guest that the St. Goga Islands have received in the past 10 years. He is fully qualified to accept the courtesy of the head of state.

20 crooked-looking soldiers formed a guard of honor and lined up in two rows to greet Lin Zhenhua and his party.Since there is no military band, the national anthem of St. Goga Islands can only be played on a tape recorder. As for the Chinese national anthem, there is no tape at all here, so it cannot be broadcast. Kopechni specifically expressed to Lin Zhenhua 12 I am so sorry.

"It doesn't matter, next time I will bring you a tape of the Chinese national anthem. If you need it, I can also present a set of karaoke ordering equipment to the Presidential Palace, which stores the national anthems of all countries in the world."

Lin Zhenhua suppressed a smile, and said to Kopenic in a serious manner.
