Chapter 643 Dongning (Second update, please subscribe)

Question, when was the last colonial treaty signed in the world?

It was the Treaty of Amsterdam signed in 1949. According to this treaty, Nanyang purchased Sulawesi, Maluku Islands, West Irian and their affiliated islands. Subsequently, the three areas were renamed Zhongxing, Yongding and Dongfang respectively. Ning three companies special zone.

As a result, Jayapura, the capital of West Irian, also changed its name to Dongning, and Dongning became the easternmost city in Southeast Asia. From a geographical point of view, there is no doubt. After all, he is only a few dozen kilometers away from the eastern border with Australia-mandated Papua New Guinea.

Although Dongning was merged into Nanyang for only one year and eight months, Dongning has already taken the shape of a prosperous city.

When the plane was about to land, Li Yi'an deliberately looked out the window toward Dongning. The seaside city in his sight was lined with high-rise buildings. Outside the city, there were densely populated residential areas and large industrial areas.

This is a city with a population of 2.6 million people!
If there is any characteristic of Nanyang, it is the centralization of cities. Several large cities are home to the vast majority of the population of Nanyang. The cities are prosperous because of industry and prosperous because of population.

After the plane landed, you could see Lin Jiachao waiting through the porthole. The mayor of Dongning was his secretary and became the first mayor of Dongning after the city was established.

Lin Jiachao said after getting off the plane.

"Your Excellency, welcome to Dongning."

Indeed, Li Yian had never been to Dongning before. It was not because he didn't want to come, but because of the distance. Even if he took the "Viscount" passenger plane with a speed of 576 kilometers, it would take seven hours to fly. You even need to refuel during the transition.

The seemingly relaxed Lin Jiachao seemed to have a calm tone, but he was a little nervous in his heart. In his opinion, your sudden visit was probably for "assessment".

Li Yian asked after getting in the car.

If you fly the route between Dongning and Chang'an with a 707-class aircraft, you will definitely lose money.

"Jiachao, I'm not here to inspect your political performance."

But if 7070 is not used, are there other aircraft?
When this idea came to my mind, I was already in the car.

Li Yian said with a smile.

This is the revolutionary change that jet aircraft has brought to world air transportation. It is not only more comfortable, but also faster.

Everything will change when the large jet aircraft comes into service. By then, it will only take three or four hours at most from Chang'an to Dongning.

What is assessed?
Of course it’s his policies since he took office.

However, if a Boeing 707-class aircraft flies such a domestic route, will the aircraft be a bit too big? Shouldn't masturbation like that be off-line?

"How is it? How do you feel after taking office in Dongning?"

"... Generally speaking, the current construction in Dongning is going very smoothly. Key steel companies, shipbuilding companies and other heavy industrial projects are advancing smoothly, while the light textile industry and consumer goods manufacturing industry are the mainstay of the local economy. From a distance From a practical point of view, Dongning is more convenient for exporting to the United States, so many companies have chosen to invest in Dongning. As of June, it has attracted as much as 6 million yuan of investment. If this momentum is maintained, it will continue to grow in another three to five years. Time, Dongning’s economy is no worse than other cities.”

"I just came to take a look. This is my first time coming to Dongning in more than a year. Let's get in the car and talk."

Isn't this just an assessment?
However, Lin Jiachao, who had already had a plan in mind, had already prepared for this, and reported his thoughts since taking office one by one. Of course, he would inevitably mention some of his achievements.

When listening to Lin Jiachao's report, Li Yian just nodded slightly. He has always been very concerned about the construction of the three eastern districts. Among these three districts, Dongning has the greatest development potential. As he said, there are US exports have the advantage of distance.

Although the use of containers has exponentially reduced transportation costs, the advantage of nearly three thousand nautical miles is something that no company can ignore.

"Donning's geographical advantages are very obvious. You must seize this. If you do it well, the development prospects are limitless, but..." After a pause, Li Yian said.

"It should be noted that this is also the only area that has land borders with other countries, and there are many aboriginal people living in the rain forest. Their appearance and bloodline are obviously different from ours, so we should try our best to Prevent them from entering Nanyang.”

Although there are only about 200,000 to 300,000 indigenous people in the tropical rainforest of Dongning, Li Yian's attitude towards those Papuans whose race and skin color are completely different from those of Tang people and whose appearance is very similar to that of Africans is somewhat complicated. On the one hand, he I hope those people integrate into Nanyang.

But on the other hand, most rainforest tribes still maintain their primitive lifestyle, and there are even cannibal tribes among them!
Can such primitive tribes integrate into Nanyang?

This is a problem that Nanyang has to face.

On the other side of the national border, there are millions of Papuans living there. They are very similar to black people. Although a considerable number of Papuans still maintain the primitive tribal life of eating hair and drinking blood, more than half of them are still civilized.

How to prevent them from entering Nanyang will be a problem Dongning has to face.

"I understand that as early as last year we put up barbed wire fences at the border. Although the barbed wire fences cannot penetrate deep into the hinterland of the rainforest, the tribes living in the hinterland of the rainforest have always been very wary of the entry of outsiders. The natives here have contact with us in Borneo Compared with the natives, they are more ferocious and aggressive. After all, the Dayaks are just headhunters, and the natives here will not only eat their enemies, but also eat the elders of the tribe, so even if there are stowaways, they may not dare to Enter Dongning from those areas.”

Lin Jiachao's answer made Li Yian smile and said.

"Barbarism also has its benefits."

"Yes, Your Excellency, sometimes barbarism is not always bad."

"Well, my attitude towards those primitive tribes is still the same as before. Just understand and respect their traditions and let them maintain their primitive tribal life. If necessary, we can demarcate some protected areas and prohibit outsiders from entering. "

In fact, the best respect for primitive tribes is to protect them and let them continue to live the life they have lived for thousands of years in the reserve. There is no need to bring them into modern society. After all, they are not ready to enter modern society. No interest either. In this case, there is no need for modern civilization to disturb them.

This is true respect for them. As for trying to bring them into modern society, it is simply insulting them and insulting their traditions.

Then they talked about some other topics, mostly related to construction. On the way, Li Yian made a special trip to the deep-water port under construction. He stood on the edge of the breakwater and stared at the vast Pacific Ocean. After a moment of silence, Li Yian said.

"The 'Good Morning Plan' is expected to be carried out at the end of the year, and the test site will be on an atoll in the Caroline Islands in the north."

Because Guowei was once the Secretary-General of the official residence, Lin Jiachao was one of the very few officials in Nanyang who knew about the "Good Morning Plan". Your Excellency's words made him slightly stunned and said.

"Like the U.S. military testing bikinis?"

In the past few years, the US military has frequently conducted nuclear tests on Bikini Atoll.

"Yes, we don't have a suitable onshore testing site. If the United Nations hadn't given us the custody of the Caroline Islands, we would have had to find a suitable testing site off the coast of Dongning."

Your Excellency's words made Lin Jiachao stunned for a moment, and he spoke after a moment.

"Luckily the Caroline Islands are ours."

He was really lucky. After all, it was better to stay away from the atomic bomb test.

"Yeah, luckily the Caroline Islands are ours!"
