On the vast ocean, huge cargo ships shuttle between the mainland and South China.

However, due to the United States' entry into the Vietnam War, this area of waters became fraught with danger.

Although the U.S. government stated that it would not restrict cargo ships going to South China due to its friendly relations with South China, a large number of U.S. warships frequently operated here and engaged in fierce battles.

This has undoubtedly brought a huge impact on normal shipping, causing freight to often suffer serious delays.

Faced with such a dilemma, Wang Jixin felt very troubled.

But unfortunately, it is a war zone after all, and even the United States sometimes blocks cargo ships from passing out of concern for the safety of Nanhua cargo ships.

This situation was quickly reported to Wang Ze.

After learning the news, Wang Ze was also helpless. This dilemma was not something that Nanhua could solve at all, unless Vietnam stopped the war now.

Many of the large quantities of fruits imported from the mainland have rotted and deteriorated due to being stranded in transportation for a long time, and have gone bad before they even reach their destination.

Even Nanhua's business sector felt heartbroken by this huge loss.

The current large-scale imports, if we want to rely on the insignificant capacity of airships compared to 10,000-ton cargo ships, are obviously far from meeting the current strong demand for fruits in South China and the entire ASEAN region.

After years of Nan Hua continuously importing fruits from the northern part of the mainland, these fruits are now quite popular in ASEAN countries.

You know, ASEAN countries do not produce such fruits themselves, so they can only purchase large quantities from the mainland to satisfy local people.

After Wang Ze took the map and looked at it carefully, he called the engineers and asked, "Can the Mekong River be dredged?"

Nanhua’s engineering staff really don’t understand this aspect.

No answer was given on the spot, except that an on-site inspection was required.

Under the organization of Nanhua, the five countries of mainland China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and Cambodia quickly formed a joint Mekong River survey team.

A comprehensive survey was conducted on the Lancang River and the Mekong River.

However, the results were not ideal. The best basin of the Mekong River was only from Phnom Penh to the estuary.

Only cargo ships of 100 tons can pass through the middle and upper reaches.

This answer obviously could not satisfy Wang Ze.

The most troublesome thing about the Mekong River is that it flows through many countries. If it were in Nanhua, Wang Ze could make a trip there in person.

But it is not convenient for him to take action on this international river.

Finally, under Wang Ze's instructions, Nanhua invested money and provided technology for the widening and deepening of this river, which was expected to take fifteen years, and was required to be able to accommodate at least 3,000-ton cargo ships.

The outlet to the sea is a separate canal dug in Cambodia, the Funan Canal.

The South Vietnamese watched on helplessly but were too busy at war with North Vietnam to care about anything.

The countries have also drawn up an agreement that after the canal is completed in the future, Nanhua will be responsible for its management and operation, and will charge different fees based on the departure point of the ship.

After the canal project was established, Nanhua also transferred 70,000 of the 170,000 people from the mainland to various sections of the canal.

Their initial work was to blast and clear the reefs at the bottom of the river.

In January 67, after the Mekong River entered the dry season, personnel from various countries who had been preparing for a long time began to take full action.

From the Lancang River to the Mekong River, there were small boats carrying explosives everywhere.

Every inch of the river bottom will be cleaned.

The sound of explosions continued along the river.

People living near the river came running with various tools to catch the fish that were knocked unconscious and floating in the river.

It can be said that except Myanmar, other countries are very interested in this canal project.

After all, Myanmar's river section is only a little bit in the north, so even if the canal is opened, it will not bring much benefit to Myanmar.

But this was organized by Nan Hua, and U Ne Win also instructed full cooperation and dispatched troops to the Myanmar section of the river to protect the construction.

But it was obvious that U Ne Win was thinking too much.

In this multinational joint operation, the people of all ethnic groups in the northern mountainous areas remained obedient and did not take any action. Their leaders repeatedly emphasized that their subordinates would never be allowed to have any ideas about the construction team.

These leaders were warned before the action that if there was an attack on the engineering team, Nanhua would directly take action to wipe them out.

These people have already experienced Nanhua's strength, so how could they not take it seriously?

A total of more than half a million people from various countries are busy on this canal.

In two months, the reefs that were exposed above the water were blown up and disappeared.

The huge amount of explosives consumed were all supplied by the mainland. After all, Southeast Asian countries, including South China, did not have such a large reserve.

Only a continent that has been preparing for war all year round could come up with so much.

This transaction directly reduced the original amount of debt by half, and Mainland was very satisfied with it.

The Yunnan region of mainland China was even more concerned and launched a massive mass campaign to carry out the widening project of the Lancang River basin with all its strength.

The Lancang River Basin is arguably the most difficult area to construct, which puts a lot of pressure on Yunnan. Fortunately, a large number of advanced engineering equipment and funds were provided by Nanhua, otherwise they would not have been able to complete this task.

For Yunnan, having this canal doesn't that mean they are also a coastal province?

The dry season is over and the water level along the entire river is rising again.

Nanhua's Xincheng Shipyard converted a cargo ship based on the sandblowing ship built by Wang Ze.

The special excavation equipment of the sandblowing ship is made of light steel.

This equipment can directly crush the hard rocks at the bottom of the river.

In the first year, only a few converted sandblower vessels were put into use.

Starting from the second year, Xincheng Shipyard began to produce special sand-blowing ships.

The performance has been greatly improved, it is more durable, and the efficiency has increased by 50%, which has also accelerated the progress of the project.

In 67, Wang Chun's team in mainland China became increasingly larger.

Artists and writers are all trying to find ways to join in.

Wang Chun is not only protected by Nanhua Security Bureau personnel, but also followed by personnel specially sent by the military.

The financial expenditure is becoming increasingly huge, and according to the previous agreement, the expenses of these people should be borne by the mainland.

However, faced with this situation, Wang Chun did not ask the mainland to bear additional responsibility, and New Town TV once again allocated a sum of funds to invest in it.

But there are also good things. Wang Chun deliberately slowed down the shooting progress so that every task could be verified repeatedly, from the scene, costumes, to action and music.

In her eyes, they are all so wonderful, and Wang Chun is very confident that he can shoot a masterpiece that will become a classic that will be passed down forever.

After Wang Ze learned about this situation, he did not say anything about the extra money Wang Chun spent. Instead, he quietly asked the Security Bureau to send more people and also sent two base guards to prevent anyone from attacking the crew.
