The clean-up operation in Luzon had come to an end.
Starting from the 1st of December 2020, the island invasion was successfully completed. After half a month of clean-up and another half a month of fighting, the gunshots in Luzon finally stopped.
Lieutenant General Zhu Weiguang was given the nickname of Pigtail Light by the Filipinos because he cleaned up Luzon too much. According to the international community, not a single Filipino was spared. All of them were chased to other islands, and some were chased to Indonesia. His theory was simple: Filipinos were all thieves, and none of them should be spared.
The President of the Philippines could tolerate Zhu Weiguang killing his men, but he was very annoyed by Zhu Weiguang's claim that his men were all thieves. He organized his men to fight against the occupiers of Luzon, mainly through guerrilla warfare.
The guerrilla warfare of the Four Kilos was known by the international military community as "Adding oil to the vegetables". No matter where he was, whether he was attacking or sneaking in, he would be ambushed by Zhu Weiguang's troops. Basically, the Qinglong 20 used one cannon to kill a small boat, and the larger boats used two cannons to kill a small boat. Occasionally, there would be a few that slipped through the net. The Longshan 2017 used moving targets to kill a person.
Just when everyone was predicting the future of Luzon, the spokesperson of the Shin Myung Province announced that they would be auctioning off Luzon's property rights. All countries and individuals in the world could participate in the auction, and the highest bidder would win.
When the China government heard the news, their first thought was: Chen Weizheng, this brat, is crazy!
When the US government heard the news, their first thought was: Luzon, this stronghold, is definitely ours!
When the Japanese government heard the news, their first thought was: Luzon, this piece of land, is worth it!
When the Filipino government heard the news, their first thought was: Our ancestors' land, we must buy it back even if we have to sell everything we have!
The Taiwanese were also very interested. If they could get this island back, the Balintang Strait would become their inland sea, and they would be able to collect some toll from them.
Liu Jingyuan called Chen Weizheng and asked him why he had taken down a piece of land and did not want it. Chen Weizheng told Liu Jingyuan that it was too far away and that he was not interested in a small piece of land. Chen Weizheng asked Liu Jingyuan whether China would be interested in such a small place. Liu Jingyuan said that of course he was interested. This place was very important. Firstly, it belonged to the first island chain. If they occupied it, the United States' blockade of China in the Pacific Ocean would become empty words. Secondly, occupying it meant occupying the Balintang Strait, which was an important passage from Asia to the Pacific Ocean. Thirdly, this piece of land had an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers, which was three times the size of Hainan Island. To the east was the Philippine Sea, to the south was the Sibuyan Sea, and to the west was the South China Sea. The Straits of Luzon faced Taiwan to the north. The terrain was high in the north and low in the south. More than two-thirds of it was mountainous and hilly, with mountain ranges running north and south. The vegetation is mainly tropical rainforest and tropical monsoon rainforest. The Central Plain was an important grain production area in the country. The south and southeast were important economic crop areas. More than 60% of the arable land was planted with coconuts, followed by banana hemp. The north and northwest were the main tobacco production areas. It had the world's largest coconut production area. The coastline was about 5,000 kilometers long. There are many excellent harbors, minerals such as gold, chromium, copper, manganese, zinc, coal and so on.
Liu Jingyuan was very familiar with this place. It seemed that he had done a lot of research on this place. As he was talking, Chen Weizheng interrupted and said, "That's good. I won't sell it. I'll use it myself." Liu Jingyuan was so angry that he couldn't breathe. It was very uncomfortable.
"You little bastard, you want to kill me!" Liu Jingyuan took a sip of tea and cursed.
Chen Weizheng said with a smile, "I can sell it to you, but on one condition."
"What condition?"
"Next year, you will be the General Secretary. I will give this land to you as a congratulatory gift."
Liu Jingyuan laughed and said, "It seems that it won't be easy to get this land of yours."
"It's easy to say it's easy, but it's not easy to say it's not easy."
"Your Uncle Xiao called me yesterday and said that he would go to Luzon Island tomorrow. What are you going to do?"
"If we don't receive him, there won't be anyone in that place, let alone a star hotel. How can we go there?" I'll give him a call later and have him come with me to visit the Six Western Provinces and the Yarlung Zangbo River. If not, we'll go to Chiang Mai to see Li Mi's old nest. If not, we'll take him to Beiyue to see where they fought back then.
Liu Jingyuan was already 58 years old this year. After this term, he was ready to retire. He didn't have any ambition to reach the top, nor did he want to fight for the Communist Party of China for the rest of his life. When it was time to rest, he would rest. When it was time to retire, he would retire. But today, Chen Weizheng's words gave him a little idea. If he succeeded in reaching the top, Chen Weizheng would give him this land. When he retired, he could go to his own island to recuperate. It would be a beautiful story to tell.
This kind of thing was just a thought. The old man once said that there were no factions in the Party. As long as there were factions, there would naturally be factions. Every day, they would fight for power and profit and have a lot of fun. Liu Jingyuan was a leader who rushed to the top because of Chen Weizheng. He had nothing to do with the factions at the top. He was a person who did his job every day. He didn't go out to make friends or gather factions. His days were very peaceful, and his work was also very smooth. The top also knew that this seemingly honest Liu Jingyuan had a very powerful backer, and that was the King of Shin Myung Province, Chen Weizheng. If they touched him and made Chen Weizheng unhappy, he would deal with him like how he dealt with the Six Great Families. No one would be able to take it!
Therefore, Liu Jingyuan was also an extraordinary existence at the top. Generally, no one would object to whatever he said. The work he assigned, no matter which faction the other party was from, must be done according to the quality. Otherwise, he would go to their door and not give them any face at all. There were a few directors who thought that they had a powerful background and didn't want to piss on Liu Jingyuan, who came from a grassroots background. They asked Liu Jingyuan to go to their door and get it done. The other party's backer didn't even dare to say a word. Over time, Liu Jingyuan became an anomaly at the top. He was an anomaly who only cared about doing things and didn't care about fighting.
Chen Weizheng heard Liu Dehou mention this matter to him. What Liu Dehou meant was that with Liu Jingyuan at the top, the days in the Red River South Flow were quite comfortable. They had policies, conditions, connections, and funds.
In the past two years, under the management of Zhang Zhiquan and Governor Hou, it would be an exaggeration to say that South Flow had advanced a thousand miles in a day, but it wouldn't be wrong to say that it was changing with each passing day. The highway from Spring City to Daizhou had been widened and became the widest highway in the South Flow Province. This highway was connected to the highway from Longshan City to Longxiang City, and then extended to the west until it reached Chittagong. In Shin Myung Province, this highway had a special South Flow line. It was a special line that only South Flow vehicles could use. The special line connected Spring City and Chittagong, and a South Flow Free Zone was established in Chittagong. This zone was the window to the west of China, and it was also the only exit from the Indian Ocean. Materials from all over the country flocked to this zone, making South Flow very rich in the past few years. Its financial condition jumped a few ranks and became one of the top provinces in the country.
Suddenly thinking about it, it wasn't that Liu Jingyuan didn't have any possibility of reaching the top. He might even become the old fisherman in the tussle between the snipe and the clam. Liu Dehou said that it was entirely possible if he had the Red River and South Flow to support him, as well as Chen Weizheng's assistance. It wasn't impossible to create a general secretary. Nobles didn't have the guts, and men should strive for self-improvement!
Therefore, the news of the Luzon Island auction faded out of people's sight before it even started. Because it was almost the new year, there was a lot of news. This time, the news was about the renovation of the Northeast.
After returning from Luzon Island, the solar panel factory in Longguang City started to clean up the Northeast. Because of the launch of a brand new domestic aircraft carrier, the North China aircraft carrier, there wasn't much attention paid to the Northeast. The North China aircraft carrier was a product of Jiangnan Shipyard, and it was currently the world's largest aircraft carrier. It was one grade larger than the Nimitz class. The appearance of this aircraft carrier made the Chinese people proud.
However, as the first aircraft carrier, the Northeast still had an irreplaceable position. This time, as a token of appreciation, the Longguang Shipyard in Shin Myung Province was renovating, and everyone was waiting for it.
When the new ship sailed out, everyone was disappointed. Even the mud on the side of the ship hadn't been completely cleaned. The renovation was a little too casual.
The solar-powered deck could no longer pique everyone's interest. The ships that came out of Longguang Shipyard were all solar-powered ships, including the Himalayas, the Bayan Kera, the Tanggula Mountains, the Sunrise, and the Northeast. At this time, a F-10 aircraft flew over from the sky and prepared to land on the deck. This was something that had never happened before. Because the solar-powered deck wasn't hard enough, it could only withstand the landing of air jeeps and sports cars. Models like the MiG-29 F-10 had never been tried before, and everyone's curiosity was piqued. The aircraft descended very quickly. It aimed at the landing line, landed, bounced, and landed again. Everyone's hearts followed the aircraft's descent.
The aircraft's parachute opened, and the aircraft rapidly decelerated on the runway. After sliding for nearly a hundred meters, the aircraft stopped. A staff member quickly directed the aircraft to move to the side of the deck. Just as everyone was waiting for the data to be released, the second F-10 aircraft began to land.
The third and fourth aircraft were the J-38, the original aircraft of the Northeast. This type of aircraft was relatively small, and landing was very simple. Just when everyone thought that everything would be as usual, a J-15 appeared in the sky. The J-15 was the king of carrier-based aircraft. It had been ranked first among carrier-based aircraft for a long time due to its total weight and gliding distance. The fact that it could withstand the pressure of the J-15 meant that the strength of the solar panels and various data could completely meet the needs of the new aircraft. A large spaceship equipped with a solar deck was just around the corner.
Chen Weiqi and Wang Xian sat next to Chen Weizheng and watched the landing of the J-15. Chen Weizheng patted their shoulders and said, "With this strength, we can probably consider developing a self-propelled space shuttle."
"Brother Zheng wants to fly a space shuttle to the moon?" Chen Weiqi joked.
He didn't want to fly a space shuttle to the moon. He always wanted to create new things to earn money from other people's pockets.
