The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 930 Base
The French government immediately sent a delegation to Comoros for negotiations.

Faced with such a huge disadvantage, the French government did not have much bargaining chips and had to compromise on the Comoros issue.

The French government recognized the independence of the 'Kingdom of Denar' and the 'Democratic Republic of Koro'.

At the same time, the French government paid a ransom of $2000 million to redeem the French prisoners.

It took less than three days for both sides to sign a peace treaty, which was announced to the whole world.

The French government sent a ship to pick up the captured soldiers, and after returning to France, it held a victory ceremony to declare that France valued the lives of its citizens and soldiers. It was a good show, thus cutting the Gordian knot and stopping the losses in time.

The two newly established countries, the Kingdom of Denar, own the islands of Mayotte and Anjouan. Mayotte has an area of ​​374 square kilometers and is divided into 17 municipal administrative districts. Anjouan has an area of ​​424 square kilometers, with a total land area of ​​798 square kilometers.

The 'Democratic Republic of Korolovki' owns the Grande Comore Island and the Moheli Island. The Grande Comore Island has an area of ​​1148 square kilometers and the Moheli Island has an area of ​​290 square kilometers, for a total of 1438 square kilometers.

Although the 'Kingdom of Denar' is smaller in area, it is richer and has more population and resources.

However, for the mercenary group, although the population of Grande Comore Island and Moheli Island is relatively small and the area is sparsely populated, they are better and can be better planned and immigrated.

If the two islands are well developed, they can form a city with a population of five or six million!
Even if the development is a little worse, it is still easy to feed five or six hundred thousand people.

After all, these two islands have a humid and hot marine climate, with little annual temperature difference, abundant rainfall, an average annual temperature of 23-28 degrees Celsius, a maximum temperature of about 35 degrees Celsius, and a minimum temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius.

Liu Tao looked at the information with a bright smile on his face and felt very happy.

He felt very happy to be able to trick the French.

Panshan Group has suffered a lot of difficulties from the French in Africa, and the losses have been considerable.

Moreover, with these two islands, we can build a port city, open up fertile fields, and provide an additional training base for mercenaries. Each island on the sea is like an unsinkable aircraft carrier.

You just need to manage it well. If the enemy wants to attack, they will have to pay a huge price.

The struggle for living space and interests is extremely cruel. If you take a step back, others will take a step forward. They have the advantage and it is impossible for them to give it to you if you don't grab it.

The Middle East has Arabs and Persians, and the interests that can be competed for are actually energy interests. It is difficult to occupy space. Going there is more about making money and cooperation.

There are still a lot of undeveloped lands in the world, and in fact, only Africa is left.

This can also be imagined from the fierce competition in Africa.

As for Latin America, it actually has huge potential, but Latin America is too far away from heaven and too close to the United States. No matter how powerful Panshan Group is, it is impossible to dominate Latin America. There they just make money, obtain raw materials for production, and abide by the rules set by Americans.

If the Americans turn against us, Panshan Group’s situation in Latin America will suddenly become very difficult.

Africa is different. Although it was once a European colony, after the United States and the Soviet Union dismembered the British and French colonies, European power here has actually been declining, while other forces have been growing stronger.

Everyone can compete, just need to maintain the surface work, as for who can eat more cake, it depends on their own means. Since the "Koro Democratic Republic" has a small land area and a large population, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 people on the two islands, then naturally we need to move a group of people there, even if it is to grow food, there can produce a lot of food every year.

After all, the two islands are enough to develop millions of acres of arable land. The land is fertile and there is sufficient rainfall, so three crops can be harvested a year. Assuming each person cultivates 100 acres, it can meet the needs of tens of thousands of people. If all of them are planted with rice, about 180 million tons of rice can be produced a year, which is about 125 million tons of rice.

Having these two islands will bring huge benefits both in terms of food imports and material support for mercenaries.

Magic City.

With the completion of the four major hydropower stations on the Jinsha River, the power shortage problem in East China has been greatly alleviated, giving wings to the development of the region.

Through ultra-high voltage transmission technology, electricity from the west is transmitted to the east.

The Southwest Power Grid is expected to deliver 2300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to East China this year, thus ensuring the electricity demand of the entire East China region.

A very obvious feeling in East China this year is that there are fewer power outages and there is no need to cut power outages anymore.

Liu Tao came to Shanghai this time to inspect the work.

One is the planning and construction work of the Magic City Port, and the other is that the asset re-evaluation of the East China Power Grid has been completed and the East China Power Grid has been officially merged into the Southwest Power Grid.

Among the major power grids, the asset evaluation work of the East China Power Grid has progressed the fastest and most smoothly.

The Southwest Power Grid has spent a lot of time, energy and financial resources to rectify and train the East China power grid system and integrate the East China power grid into the Southwest Power Grid as a whole.

Some employees of the East China Power Grid who failed the training were eliminated from the East China Power Grid.

The entire organizational structure reshaping has already begun.

After the National Day, Liu Tao signed the provincial and municipal heads of various regions in East China. The county-level power grid head was appointed by the provincial company, reported to the head office for approval, and the town-level power grid head was appointed by the municipal company, reported to the provincial company for approval.

Liu Tao chose to come to Shanghai because it is the core of East China and he can get a glimpse of the whole situation from here.

As Southwest Power Grid plans to acquire several major power grids and reorganize them into China Southern Power Grid, Panshan Group has redeemed the shares of Southwest Power Grid held by the southwestern provinces. It is expected that next year Southwest Power Grid will be renamed China Southern Power Grid and upgraded to China Southern Power Grid Corporation, becoming the fourteenth second-level group of Panshan Group.

After all, the State Grid Corporation of China will be very large by then, with power supply revenue alone amounting to hundreds of billions of RMB a year, and in the future it will even exceed one trillion RMB, which will be enough to be upgraded to a second-tier group.

In another two years, when the entire State Grid Corporation of China is stabilized, the residential and industrial electricity consumption in each province will be unified. There will not be different price standards in each province, city or even county, nor will there be the strange phenomenon that urban residential electricity consumption is much cheaper than rural electricity consumption in the same city.

As for the Magic City Port, it has entered the construction phase and money is being invested continuously. Liu Tao also needs to inspect it to prevent the people below from deceiving their superiors and hiding the truth from their subordinates.

He never assumes the worst of human nature.

Sometimes, he actually believes that human nature is evil!
No matter how busy he is, he will go down and take a look, talk to the grassroots employees, get to know the real side, and ensure that his eyes and ears are not obstructed.

　I was busy with the National Day holiday and was unable to update every day. Sorry!
　　In the next few days, there will be more updates, as much as possible!
