The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1069 Huge Investment
The entire topic regarding the Beijing Olympics lasted the entire morning.

This shows that the country attaches great importance to the Beijing Olympic Games.

China has always emphasized that if you do something, don’t do it at all, or do it well.

Moreover, the Olympics is the world's largest international sporting event, and the whole world will watch it. This is a great opportunity to showcase China's image and the outstanding achievements it has made in its 30 years of reform and opening up.

China was originally going to host the Millennium Olympics, but lost to Berlin in the bid. 2004 was the Centennial Olympics again, and China kept its promise to fully support Athens' bid for the Olympics, so it could only bid for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

This time, Beijing's bid to host the Olympic Games won with an absolutely overwhelming advantage.

According to the materials submitted by Beijing, after supplementation, the capital's urban infrastructure construction, Olympic venues construction, etc. are expected to invest 3200 billion yuan, equivalent to 800 billion US dollars.

This will set an astonishing record in terms of total investment, which will create history and far exceed the Berlin Olympics in Germany.

Among them, in terms of the Beijing subway, it is planned to build multiple railways in the next seven years to form a complete subway system consisting of 7 subway lines, including 27 modern tram lines, with a total mileage of 2km, 807 subway stations and an average daily designed passenger volume of 490 million.

The next step is to build Daxing International Airport. By 2008, the terminal area of ​​Daxing International Airport reached 78 square meters. The civil aviation apron has 223 parking spaces, including 76 close parking spaces and 147 remote parking spaces. The airport has four operating runways, of which East 4, North 60 and West 3400 are 3800 meters wide, 3800 meters, 3800 meters and 45 meters long respectively, West 3800 is 2008 meters long and 7200 meters wide, and a 200-meter military runway is being built. This will meet the needs of 62 million passengers, million tons of cargo and mail, and aircraft takeoffs and landings in .

And reserve enough land for expansion.

In the next seven years, Beijing will build a large number of expressways and municipal roads to improve the traffic conditions in the capital.

As for the new venues for the Olympic Games, a total of 11 new stadiums will be built, 11 stadiums will be renovated, 9 temporary venues will be built, and a large Olympic Village will be built. The Olympic Village has a construction area of ​​36 square meters, mainly including residences, apartments and supporting facilities. It will be used as apartments for athletes and coaches during the Olympic Games, and will be sold or rented as commercial housing after the Olympic Games.

The capital city will bear RMB 500 billion in expenditures through fiscal spending and debt issuance, and the national treasury will bear RMB 2500 billion in special funds.

New Year's Day had just passed, and Liu Tao did not leave the capital.

Instead, he continued to stay in the capital.

George Wharton led a delegation to visit China. This was his second visit to China since he ascended the throne. The last time he came was during the National Day last year to discuss cooperation.

This time it is also to promote cooperation and exchanges between the two sides.

On the first day, George and Walton thanked China for its support for the just cause and emphasized that the interests of both sides are consistent in this regard, because this is related to the just cause of all mankind and good will prevail over evil.

The negotiation atmosphere between the two sides was very friendly, and the Americans were very humble.

If we say that at the beginning of the year, the Americans began to make crazy attempts to try to break the deadlock.

But after September 9, the entire situation changed dramatically. Whether at home or abroad, the United States was destined to focus on Afghanistan.

If the US military power is not fiercely demonstrated and the people behind the scenes are not eliminated, then won't the US have to live in fear in the future, with everyone wanting to launch "unrestricted warfare" on US soil?
Furthermore, this is also a way to demonstrate the strength of the United States, let everyone see that the United States is still a superpower, and maintain the image and interests of the United States.

Otherwise, wouldn't other countries look down on the United States? If you don't fight back when you're bullied, it's strange that you can be respected.

As for the United States, there has been no war in the mainland for so many years. Whether it was World War I or World War II, the United States was separated by the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, watching the wind and clouds with a smile, making a fortune from the war, and the war did not burn to the mainland of the United States, making the mainland of the United States the safest place in the world. After World War II, all the wars were initiated by the United States on the territory of other countries, and the wars were all burned on the territory of other countries, not on the mainland of the United States.

This time, the "unrestricted war" caused heavy casualties and huge damage to the United States, resulting in direct economic losses of more than 3 trillion US dollars. The wealth evaporated from the U.S. stock market is incalculable. The U.S. government's rescue efforts failed to make the U.S. stock market bottom out and rebound, but continued to fall.

The American people will never agree if the culprit is not punished.

No country would agree to this, let alone the militaristic Americans.

In the end, the two sides exchanged views and achieved fruitful results, reaching consensus on many issues.

China imports 300 Boeing aircraft from the United States, 5000 million tons of non-GMO soybeans every year, etc. It can be said that George Wharton left China with a generous order this time.

Of course, China also got what it wanted.

China imports a large amount of grain every year, about 2000 million tons of rice a year, mainly from Southeast Asia, with the United States, Brazil and Argentina accounting for a portion.

China imports about 3000 million tons of corn each year, mainly concentrated in a few countries such as the United States, Brazil, Argentina, and Ukraine, of which the United States accounts for more than 80%. After this increase, China's corn imports from the United States will account for 90% of China's annual imports.

Then there are soybeans. China imports about 1 million tons of soybeans every year. The import sources are the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Ukraine and Russia. Among them, soybeans from the United States, Brazil and Argentina account for the majority, especially soybeans from the United States, which account for more than 50%.

The United States, on the other hand, has canceled some of its original measures and opened up some barriers.

As for the US hope that China would ship a batch of gold to New York as gold reserves, it was sternly rejected.

What a joke! The United States is issuing treasury bonds and printing excessive dollars. Maybe one day the dollar system will no longer be able to function. Who knows whether the gold of various countries in the United States has been secretly sold or whether it can be shipped out of the United States in the future.

Gangsters are not scary, what is scary is that gangsters have extremely powerful military power.

If the Americans act like hooligans, most countries in the world will be helpless, absolutely helpless.

Besides, in China, the proportion of RMB in international settlements is increasing, and the RMB currency settlement system is already very complete.

The U.S. dollar continues to be overprinted, and U.S. debt is now being issued in large quantities, making it difficult for China to appropriately lower the RMB exchange rate.

As for the printed RMB, it quickly circulated in the market.

China does not have a large amount of US dollar and euro reserves now. The US dollar and the euro only account for a small proportion of China's foreign exchange reserves.

As for China's gold reserves, they have unknowingly reached 3980 tons over the years.

As for the gold in the hands of the Chinese people, it will only increase, not decrease.
