Into Unscientific

There are certain resources on this island.

Hearing Kurogane Taimi's words, Segawa Takeshi was stunned.

resource?

What does this mean?

But soon Segawa Takeshi thought of something and suddenly looked at Kurogane Taimi:

"Chief Cabinet Secretary, you mean there are some rare mineral resources on Aonan Island?"

"That's right."

Black Gold Taimei nodded firmly and said:

"It could be gold, manganese, chromium, iron, or it could be oil, natural gas, or coal."

"There's even a slight possibility that it's uranium ore!"

As the chief cabinet secretary responsible for coordinating Neon's daily affairs, Kurogane Taimei is also a generalist in the standard sense, and he has a little dabble in geological knowledge.

As far as he knows.

It is difficult to accumulate rich mineral resources in an island environment. The area of ​​many resource-rich islands is actually close to what some people think of as land.

For example, the well-known Sakhalin Island is rich in natural gas resources, but the total area of ​​this island is more than 70,000 square kilometers.

To know.

The Huaxia Treasure Island is only a little over 30,000 square kilometers.

The area of ​​Aonan Island is only about three square kilometers, let alone Sakhalin Island, which is 10,000 times different from Bao Island.

But on the other hand.

Although the probability of resources existing on small islands is not high, it is not close to 0.

In the history of human civilization exploration, small islands with small area but rich resources have been discovered more than once. These islands usually have experienced volcanic eruptions or crustal movements and have stored many resources originating from the mantle area.

A typical representative of this is Diavik Island, which is currently one of the largest diamond mining tunnels in the world. Even in the later generations when Xu Yun traveled through time, this island still maintained an average annual output value of US$100 million.

So some mineral resources have been discovered on Aonan Island. Isn’t this difficult to accept?

"Segawa-san, I remember you said something just now."

I don’t know if it was because her mind was opened, but Heijin Taimei quickly thought of something:

"This Aonan Island has freshwater resources, but the species are not rich and the amount of vegetation is not large."

"Could the reason for this situation be that certain mineral resources are buried under the island, resulting in a lack of sufficient nutrients in the land, thus affecting the island's ecological environment?"

"For example, the Nantori Island that is still in our hands across the sea is also in a sluggish ecological environment. Senior Mizutani discovered that the island contains a lot of resources."

The Minami Tori Island that Kurogane Taimi talks about is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is also called Marcus Island.

The area of ​​this small island is just over one square kilometer, and the highest area on the island is only 9 meters. During World War II, Neon stationed more than 4,000 people on the island.

The island has a high proportion of vegetation, but it is dominated by low shrubs. At the same time, there are not many animals and birds living on the island.

After the war, the island fell into the hands of the people across the sea, and according to the Neon people's exploration results back then, there should be many important mineral resources hidden under the island.

So when the situation on Aonan Island was mentioned at this time, Heijin Taimei subconsciously thought of this matter.

seem

Is it really possible?

Of course.

There may not necessarily be uranium ore or scarce metal resources buried inside Aonan Island, but even the most common coal is profitable for the Chinese people - the price they pay is just compensation for some building demolition costs.

After thinking this through.

The certainty in Black Gold Taimei's heart became a little firmer.

Segawa Takeshi on the side also thought for a while and found that what his Chief Cabinet Secretary said did make sense.

After all, the Chinese people's actions made it clear that there must be some problem on that Aonan Island. This problem either comes from the outside or from the island itself.

Nowadays, it is impossible for rabbits to carry out atomic bomb experiments offshore at the risk of affecting the continental shelf. Small nuclear weapons are even more impossible if the former fails. Then the abnormalities in China's maritime affairs can naturally only be 'attributed' to Aonan Island itself. .

What?

Do you think it is possible that the Chinese have mastered the technology of miniaturized nuclear weapons?

Are you kidding me?

Everyone knows that China only started researching nuclear weapons four years ago. Three years ago, the Mao Xiong experts even evacuated the mainland. In desperation, China invited back a group of international students from across the sea last year.

In this case, can they develop a miniaturized nuclear weapon that is more advanced than an atomic bomb and has a hydrogen bomb in the middle?

You might as well tell Segawa Takeshi that Mount Fuji will erupt soon.

Then Kurogane Taimi took his eyes away from the map and said to Segawa Takeshi:

"Segawa-san, if nothing unexpected happens, this is basically what happened."

"However, the situation does not seem to be serious. We still need to pay enough attention to it. If we have the opportunity, we can still try to arrange for people to go to the island to take a look."

Segawa Takeshi's expression suddenly became solemn:

"Hai!"

Aonan Island is located very close to the mainland, and it is also not far from Huaxia Treasure Island. It is very simple to arrange for manpower to go there and explore it.

As long as you disguise yourself as a fisherman, it is not difficult to get around Aonan Island in a relatively safe situation. Whether you can get to the island is another matter.

"Okay, let's end this matter now."

Kurogane Taimei waved her hand towards Segawa Takeshi, but he didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters:

"Is there any other information that needs to be focused on internationally recently?"

"have."

Takeshi Segawa nodded quickly, led Kurogane Taimi back to his seat, and continued to say respectfully:

"Chief Cabinet Secretary, just early this morning we received news that the situation across the sea and in the sugar cane country with Mao Xiong seems to be a bit out of control."

Hearing Segawa Takeshi mentioned the two strongest superpowers in the world today, Kurogane Taimei's expression became serious:

"How to say?"

Today Segawa Takeshi invited him to the office early in the morning, and this matter must be the focus.

Segawa Takeshi carefully pulled out a fax from the documents on the table and said:

"Chief Cabinet Secretary, two years ago, Sugar Cane Country established a line with Mao Xiong due to the pressure of the situation."

“Later, the leaders of both sides had many secret conversations or offline meetings, and finally Sugar Cane Country agreed to Mao Xiong’s intention to cooperate in supporting Sugar Cane Country—the two sides started transporting supplies probably in the middle of last year.

"About a month ago, Mao Xiong issued a statement. According to the agreement reached between the two countries, Mao Xiong will supply weapons and technical experts to Sugar Cane Country."

Kurogane Taimei nodded.

The situation Segawa Takeshi mentioned was naturally familiar to him. Since the day the Sugar Cane Country came into contact with the Bear, Neon has been paying attention to the progress of the whole matter.

Mentioned earlier.

The Sugar Cane Country is not a red camp regime, but under the comprehensive suppression from across the sea, they were forced to reach an agreement of cooperation with Mao Xiong.

Mr. Ka from the Sugar Cane Country announced that the Sugar Cane Country would be merged into the Red Front, and Mao Xiong would provide outreach and economic support.

In order to welcome this ally, even the Rabbits, the Peninsula, and East Germany made some gestures.

It would be okay if Sugar Cane Country was just an ordinary country, but the problem is that Sugar Cane Country is only a hundred miles away from Florida across the sea. This location is really very sensitive.

So on the first day of contact between the two parties.

Even countries like Neon, which are not in the same league, have paid huge attention to the Sugar Cane Country.

A month ago, Mao Xiong officially announced a cooperation agreement to supply weapons, which caused a lot of heated discussion internationally.

But this is not unexpected news for countries like Neon and Haidong, which are paying close attention to the situation. The rebels in the Sugar Cane Country can pick up wild B26 bombers. What's the fuss about Mao Xiong providing weapons?

Actually.

According to the information learned by Kurogane Taimei.

Mao Xiong and the decision-makers across the sea had actually communicated several times in private through letters, and the two parties vaguely reached a tacit understanding on the magnitude of the weapons:

The Wooly Bear can provide weapons assistance to the Sugarcane Country, but only with conventional defensive weapons.

Someone from Mao Xiong even made a promise that he would not stir up any incidents before the congressional election in November.

Therefore, Mao Xiong's statement a month ago was the same as the so-called official announcement in later generations. The general public was shocked for a while, but for those in the industry, it was just like that.

But soon.

Segawa Takeshi dropped a piece of news that made Kurogane Taimei's pupils shrink:

"Chief Cabinet Secretary, according to the latest top-secret information we have, Mao Xiong may have deployed more than just anti-aircraft missiles in Sugar Cane Country."

"?!"

The fat on Black Gold Taimei's face trembled a few times, and her tone of voice was unusually high:

"Nani? Segawa-san, what do you mean?"

Segawa Takeshi looked firmly into Kurogane Taimei's eyes and said solemnly:

"Our undercover agent across the sea received a piece of information. It seems that the ballistic missile launch site of Mao Xiong in Sugar Cane Country was photographed across the sea."

Snapped!

Black Gold Taimei couldn't help but slap the table hard, so hard that the teacup on the table shook a few times:

"Segawa-san, is the source of this news reliable?"

Segawa Yishi nodded vigorously:

"This is the information from Amaterasu."

Black Gold Taimei was silent.

Although Neon has become the well-deserved son of the other side of the sea since the war, this does not mean that they do not have their own little thoughts.

For example, on the mainland across the sea, they left many chess pieces.

These days, Hainan's discrimination against neon is still obvious, so these chess pieces basically do not enter the political arena, but are active in academia and business circles.

Among them, the more representative ones are Yoichiro Nanbu, Tetsuo Goto, etc.

Some of these scholars engaged in scientific research were absorbed into the military system across the sea because of their extraordinary talents, just like Qian Wushi back then, and had access to some confidential information.

The 'Amaterasu' mentioned by Segawa Takeshi is the highest-level nail that Neon has planted across the sea.

Amaterasu's current position is as the core researcher of GSA, Global Strategic Affairs, and concurrently as the third director of DSCA. Even if the scope is expanded to the whole of Asia, few Asians can reach the height of Amaterasu.

No, to be precise, there is only one Asian who has served in the military in history and has a higher status than Amaterasu, and that is Qian Fifth Division.

The existence of Amaterasu is directly responsible for the internal coordination room, Segawa Takeshi. Even though the word "room director" sounds a bit low, in the past, this person was a Mr. Dai-level existence.

There is no doubt about the accuracy of the news sent back from Amaterasu.

Ballistic missile launch site.

This word only has a few more Japanese words than missile launch site, but the two concepts are completely different.

Just like bullets and atomic bombs, it can even be said to be two-dimensional things.

because

Ballistic missiles can be loaded with nuclear warheads!

When it comes to familiarity with nuclear warheads, there is probably no one in the world who has more say than neon people like Heijin Taimei.

Oh no, Takeshi Segawa should have a higher say than him - after all, Takeshi Segawa is from Hiroshima.

In other words.

With ballistic missiles in hand, Mao Xiong can reach across the Pinghai Sea from the Sugar Cane Country at any time.

There is an old saying in China, which goes like this: Those who know the current affairs are wrong. It is wrong, it is said that there is no room for others to snore on the side of the bed.

The politicians across the sea may not know how to pronounce this sentence, but they must also understand this truth-Thanksgiving is the best proof.

Therefore, in the face of this provocation from Mao Xiong, there is no doubt that the other side of the sea will definitely fight back!

Think of this.

Black and gold Taimei's brows frowned again, and she felt a little nervous inside.

to be honest.

As a neon person, it is impossible for Black Gold Taimei to be completely objective on such nuclear-related issues.

He has an innate fear of atomic bombs. It can be said that once bitten by a snake, he will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Well, silos are silos too.

Not to mention that the person across the sea who holds nuclear warheads at this time is Mr. Li Mei, a well-known barbecue stall owner. This person's status in the hearts of Neon people is even higher than that of the Supreme Emperor.

And Li Mei is not a good-tempered person. He will probably have a very radical attitude on this kind of issue.

If Mao Xiong doesn't let go either and both sides become angry, it will be really difficult to talk about this matter.

And it's even worse.

If the news from Amaterasu is true, then Neon will not be able to get any benefits from this incident.

Because the time is too short.

If Neon can get the news as soon as possible, then although it cannot interfere with the fight between the two big guys, it can at least do some micro-manipulation in the economy, such as buying some oil.

Well? !

Black Gold Taimei seemed to have thought of something, and his brows suddenly furrowed:

"Segawa-san, if I remember correctly, did the Chinese buy a large amount of oil at the beginning of this year?"

Segawa Yishi nodded:

"Yes, part of it is using their foreign exchange reserves, and the other part is using the interest-free loan we provide."

"What was their purchase price at that time?"

As Neon's intelligence center, Segawa Takeshi's memory is naturally not too bad, and he quickly reported the answer:

"3.6 US dollars per barrel. In addition to trading with our country, they also conducted several rounds of oil transactions in Saudi Arabia through the trade memorandum signed seven years ago and the relationship with a businessman named Qu Rump across the sea."

"The reason they purchased oil was because the production of some domestic oil fields was sluggish this year, and they had many industrial projects that needed oil supplies, so they imported a batch of oil in one go."

"We don't have the exact transaction amount yet, but the total price should exceed US$1.5 billion - after all, this is a national-sized trade."

"Five billion."

Black Gold Taimei suddenly took a breath, and then gritted her teeth in envy:

"Baga. It's so damned."

My God, Amaterasu, this is oil worth US$1.5 billion.

If a war breaks out with Mao Xiong across the sea in a while, there is no need for a war, even if it is just a small-scale armed conflict that lasts for more than a month, international oil prices will inevitably experience a sharp rise!

By then, the oil worth US$1.5 billion can be doubled even if we wait!

Suddenly.

Black Gold Taimei's clenched teeth suddenly loosened, and only a few words floated in her mind:

Top secret information for a while

Top secret information for a while

In other words.

At this time, the Chinese people don't seem to know that they already hold a golden mountain in their hands?

Think of this.

Kurogane Taimei suddenly looked towards Segawa Takeshi and asked:

"Segawa-san, how long can Amaterasu delay this news at all costs?"

Note:

When some people see the name Segawa Takeshi, they say I'm a slanderer against Fan Zhiyi. This is a real person, brother, and I've never been slanderous or even mentioned General Fan. This is just a figment of my imagination.
