The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 925 Untitled
The Lide Railway has a total of 12 stations.

The overall direction is east-west.

Liu Tao sat by the window and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the train.

Many places are sparsely populated.

This place still needs to be developed vigorously.

Speaking of which, this place will be a tourist destination in China in the future, just like Dali and Xishuangbanna.

In terms of regional planning, the focus in the future will not be on developing industry, but on developing the primary and tertiary industries. The primary industry will mainly focus on grain planting and tropical fruits, which can be sold well both at home and abroad; the tertiary industry will be centered on tourism and develop sightseeing tourism, as well as local specialty food, clothing, etc.

With the development of the economy, more and more people have money in their pockets and begin to pursue spiritual enjoyment, and tourism has also developed accordingly.

China's tourism industry is developing very rapidly and is showing explosive growth.

Yunnan, for example, is a major tourist province. Unlike coastal cities that focus on beaches and ocean tourism, Yunnan focuses on the rich and colorful natural scenery of the plateau and tropical rainforests.

Currently, Yunnan Province has six major pillar industries: industry centered on military industry, tobacco processing industry, tourism industry, biological resource development industry, hydropower industry and tropical fruit planting industry.

Needless to say, Panshan Group is a representative of industries centered on military industry.

Tobacco processing industry. Yunnan Province is a major tobacco producing province in the country, and its tobacco industry ranks among the best in the country.

In terms of biological resource development industry, Yunnan Province has developed a modern pharmaceutical industry based on natural medicines, green food and functional food, flower ornamental horticulture industry and biochemical industry.

In terms of hydropower industry, Yunnan Province has the richest hydropower reserves in the country, and hydropower stations are distributed in the Jinsha River, Nu River and Canglan River basins.

Regarding tropical fruit planting, Yunnan Province is currently the largest tropical fruit planting center in the country, with a market share far exceeding that of Qiongdao.

As for tourism, many people will go to this "South of the Colorful Clouds" and "Green Land". Yunnan Province has magnificent mountains and rivers, beautiful natural scenery, the southernmost snow-capped mountains in the northern hemisphere, dense primeval forests, steep and deep canyons, and typical karst landforms, making Yunnan Province a museum of natural scenery. In addition, Yunnan Province's numerous historical sites, colorful folk customs and mysterious religious culture have added infinite charm to Yunnan Province.

Furthermore, you can also enter Honghe Province from Yunnan Province, or travel to Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand.

However, in the future, Zangnan will have very rich tourism resources, it is really spectacular here.

The train stops at each station for only five minutes.

Once the five minutes are up, start it immediately.

After about 6 hours, the train arrived in Dali.

Everyone either got off in Dali or transferred in Dali. Liu Tao did not choose to take the train back to Kunming.

His helicopter is already here and ready.

Although the train was very fast, it was not as fast as his helicopter.

After just one hour by helicopter, Liu Tao returned to the Panshan Group headquarters.

August 8. The second ASEAN Regional Forum meeting was held in Brunei, focusing on the discussion of Asian security issues and deciding to establish two permanent institutions to deal with issues related to enhancing trust among member states and international cooperation.

The ASEAN Regional Forum meeting was first held last year to promote political, economic and cultural exchanges in the ASEAN region.

With the influence of the European Union and the North American Free Trade Area, economic integration in various regions is accelerating. Many experts in the world are optimistic about this kind of regional economic and political integration.

These experts even proposed a vision to advance from economic integration to political integration and then to military integration, and finally to global integration through regional integration, thereby completely eliminating war and ushering in the era of the Earth Federation.

Although this road is full of twists and turns, it is promising.

The huge damage caused by World War I and World War II to Europe made Europeans learn lessons. Fearing that the S3 war would happen again in Europe, Europeans have been groping for the path of European integration.

This influence also affects all parts of the world.

Liu Tao looked at the news and smiled lightly. It is not easy to achieve true integration in this regional integration process.

Although it can be said that Nanyang has not yet completely become the back garden of Panshan Group, it is not far off. Panshan Group has made large-scale investments in Nanyang, and its annual turnover in Nanyang has been increasing.

Panshan Group holds high the banner of win-win cooperation and has extensive cooperation with Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

Panshan Group naturally has a great influence in ASEAN.

Now, many ASEAN countries include RMB in their foreign exchange reserves, and more and more bilateral trade is settled in RMB.

China imports food, fruits, minerals, rubber, etc. from ASEAN countries and exports various commodities to ASEAN. It can be said that as long as ASEAN needs commodities, China can meet most of them.

An important topic this time is to reject interference in Southeast Asia by major powers outside the region.

On the same day, two other events attracted much attention. One was the talks between Egyptian President Mubarak and Jordanian King Hussein, in which both sides pledged to continue to promote the Middle East peace process. The other was about the efforts of Palestine to establish an independent state. Although Palestine has declared independence, the external environment is already very bad and it still needs the support of a large number of Arab brothers.

Another thing is that France recalled its ambassador to Australia in response to a series of protests and sanctions taken by Australia against France's resumption of nuclear testing.

France is a very special country. In 1966, France unilaterally announced the official withdrawal from the "NATO Military Integration Organization" and demanded that NATO troops withdraw from France and move its headquarters out of Paris. Although the United States took certain retaliatory measures against France's actions, France still insisted on withdrawing from NATO and demanding the withdrawal of US troops. In 1967, all US troops stationed in France withdrew from France.

It can be said that France is the only major country in Europe that does not have US troops stationed there, which allows France to maintain a great degree of independence.

At the same time, France is also the only country in Europe with a complete military industry that can produce aircraft, tanks, etc.

In the European Union, France also plays a leading role and has often confronted the Americans in Europe.

France is proud.

Although France is no longer the world's second largest power after World War II, and it can no longer maintain its huge colonial system. After the United States and the Soviet Union dismantled the British and French colonial systems, France only had 1% of its colonies left. However, France still has its own pride and does not allow itself to become a third-rate country.

Australia is a strange country. It is a member of the Commonwealth, but is greatly influenced by the United States. It always does some incredible things, some of which are not even in line with Australia’s own national interests and are harmful to others and itself.
