Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

The Mekong River flows from north to south, then enters the southern territory and then flows into the sea.

Cambodia lacks an outlet to the sea and cannot develop inland waterway transportation.

If you want to take the shipping route, you have to look at other people's faces.

If we mobilize manpower and material resources, we can build a canal from the Mekong River dividing line and go straight through it.

This means that southern Yunnan will have another outlet to the sea.

To be honest, the workload is a bit large.

The current equipment level is relatively poor, the vehicle transportation capacity is insufficient, and the roadbed conditions on the Cambodian side are also relatively poor.

A more reliable way is to build a railway from southern Yunnan to Cambodia, and then use transport ships to go directly to the sea.

Combining land and sea transportation can also reduce some transportation costs.

Large oil fields have been discovered on the seabed and can be exploited continuously, providing a lot of convenience.

Transport ships and warships can go there to refuel without having to worry about the round trip.

If there is no fuel, when arranging a transport ship, we must first consider sailing more than 1000 kilometers and also consider the return voyage of more than kilometers.

Just the amount of fuel carried for personal use is a terrifying figure.

This reminds me of the classic question of how far you can walk: carrying 100 kilograms of food, and consuming one kilogram per kilometer, the farthest you can walk is 50 kilometers.

By the same token, if there were no sea bases to refuel, the sailing distance of all warships and transport ships would be reduced by half.

After the airport, power station, fortress and coastal defense firepower are gradually put in place, Ding Wei also plans to prepare a shipyard here with the ability to repair docks.

Make it a proper naval frontier position.

At the same time, we can also consider bringing in the family members of some people.

For example, Li Yunlong could take Xiuqin and the children over, and life on the island would be good.

Other officers and soldiers can also voluntarily bring their families over.

This is our territory, and we will have troops stationed here for a long time.

Thanks to the drilling platform, a large amount of high-quality light oil has been extracted with low smelting costs, making it very suitable for industrial construction.

Two special oil tankers were added, which were loaded with oil from the sea and transported northward continuously.

Oil is the blood of industry and it greatly aids industrial growth.

Chemical products, mechanical equipment, automobile transportation, ships, etc., all rely on oil to operate.

The offshore oil reserves amount to millions of tons, and the oil layers are relatively shallow. No additional means are needed. Simply expanding the existing drilling platforms is enough to extract large amounts of high-quality crude oil.

This thing is really valuable. The oil pump keeps pumping out one dollar, two dollars, ten dollars, one hundred dollars, ten thousand dollars.

Don’t worry about anything. What you pump out is not crude oil, but green banknotes.

A special amphibious combat area was established with the strength of two armies, and Li Yunlong was recommended as the commander.

Regarding the construction benefits, a special report was prepared and submitted to the headquarters.

The first benefit was that it helped to stabilize large areas of sea.

The second benefit is that it has taken the first step in offshore oil exploration and collection, using drilling platforms to form the first step in offshore oil.

The reserves of oil and metal minerals are very considerable.

If you don’t have the ability to collect minerals at sea, you can only watch others mine.

The third benefit is that there are several large fishing grounds in the sea area with abundant fish resources.

Isn’t this an achievement? Isn’t this a credit?

It's just that being promoted from army commander to commander, jumping two levels at once, doesn't seem reasonable.

Under normal circumstances, he should be promoted to deputy commander first, in charge of troop training and combat deployment.

Finally, he was promoted to the position of commander.

Taking into account the special geographical location of the garrison troops, Li Yunlong's troops had already been stationed in this sea area, and the matter was settled, and the credit was not small.

Special approval from headquarters, two promotions in a row.

Li Yunlong was promoted from major general to lieutenant general for his meritorious service.

Many old comrades sent congratulatory telegrams to Li Yunlong.

Especially Kong Jie, who was thousands of miles away and was the first to congratulate Li Yunlong.

The telegram was brief, "What the heart desires, the thoughts reach."

This means that the rank of lieutenant general that Li Yunlong had been dreaming of is now within his reach and has been awarded to him.

Wei Dayong, Wang Yousheng and others organized a celebration banquet to congratulate the commander.

"Hehehe, our Old Li will also be successful one day. It's better to follow Ding Wei, there is a future."

Xing Zhiguo was also very happy. Li Yunlong's rapid rise to fame also brought benefits to his old subordinates.

He was originally a deputy army commander and was directly promoted to the rank of full army commander.

Head of the delegation Wang Yousheng,

Brigade Commander Wei Dayong,

Deputy Commander Wang Huaibao,

Some former battalion commanders have had the opportunity to be promoted to regiment commanders.

The troops need to be expanded. Li Yunlong will have the strength of two armies under his command. He needs a large number of backbones and a large number of capable officers.

The best way is to remove a group of backbones from the C Army and join them in the construction of the D Army.

"I really want to find Chu Yunfei now. If not, come over and fight me. I will also give him the title of Army Commander."

"It's so satisfying. It's really fucking satisfying. These two stars are better than one star."

"Before I was not allowed to tell the truth, now there are two stars on my shoulders, shining brightly."

Guard Xiao Chen nodded vigorously, agreeing with Li Yunlong's words.

"Brothers are close in war, and old comrades are needed in the battlefield. Ding Wei helped a lot in this matter. I must find a way to get him some good things in the future."

Li Yunlong curled his lips and looked at the vast sea area in the south.
