2014 6 Month 13 Day.

The World Cup kicked off in Brazil, and fans around the world were celebrating.

Brazil is the kingdom of football, the only country that can compare with it is Argentina!
Brazil and Argentina, two South American countries, even share a border with each other. They are the most famous football kingdoms in the world and have cultivated a large number of football stars.

In Brazil and Argentina, playing football may be the best choice for ordinary people to change their destiny. As long as they become a football star, their income will skyrocket and they will become wealthy.

It is said that international competitive sports is an arena for competing for national strength.

But there are always some international sports competitions that are not included in this list.

China and the United States, the world’s first and second largest economies, are not strong in football and are even ridiculed as a “football desert.”

Fortunately, both countries appeared in this World Cup.

In order to ensure that the Chinese football team will appear on the stage of this World Cup, the World Cup has been expanded to 48 teams.

There is no other way. FIFA has racked its brains to get the Chinese football team to appear on the World Cup stage.

China’s football market is very large. Although basketball has become China’s largest sport due to the emergence of a number of basketball stars, the football market is still very large. The number of football fans in China exceeds 3 million. If ASEAN is included, the number of football fans will reach 5 million. The number of fans in economically developed cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen is very staggering. The Chinese Super League is also in full swing. There are big companies behind the Chinese Super League clubs, and they are very rich. They have attracted a large number of South American football stars, Eastern European football stars, and even some Western European football stars have come to the Chinese Super League to play.

The scale of China’s entire football industry exceeds 2 trillion yuan, and if you add the entire ASEAN, it would be at the level of 3 trillion yuan.

This year, the Chinese football team not only appeared in the World Cup, but a large number of Chinese companies also provided sponsorship for the World Cup.

The host no longer has to say: “In the World Cup, all Chinese people went except the football team.”

What makes China embarrassed is that none of the star players in the Chinese Super League clubs are Chinese.

This time, because the Chinese football team appears in the World Cup, FIFA is very optimistic and estimates that global gambling bets during the World Cup are likely to exceed US$2000 billion, or even reach US$2500 billion.

This is why FIFA wants to do everything possible to get the Chinese football team to participate in the World Cup, and even urgently hopes that China will host the Football World Cup.

The benefits contained here are really amazing!

Just a little profit from it can bring huge profits!
Add to that the live broadcast rights, rebroadcast rights and sponsors, and you can make a lot of money.

Brazil also strongly supports this World Cup and has its own ambitions. In addition to hosting this World Cup, Brazil also hosted the 2016 Olympic Games. By hosting such international sports events with extensive international influence, Brazil’s influence can be enhanced and Brazil can be promoted.

Today, both Brazil and Argentina are in a rather embarrassing situation.

Although both countries are large in size and rich in resources, the ones with the loudest voice in the international arena are Venezuela and Colombia. They are pioneers and scold the Americans every year, which makes the two countries more well-known and influential internationally than Brazil and Argentina.

It is precisely because Brazil and Argentina have successively carried out nationalization reforms that they have received a lot of criticism from Europe and the United States, and the sanctions they have suffered have continued to increase.

If they could not export their goods to the Eastern world, Brazil and Argentina would have had a hard time.

While the Brazil Football World Cup is in full swing and attracting global attention, the Tiwi Islands are not peaceful.

Lan Fang built a military base here, the airport runway is being built at an accelerated pace, resources are being transported to the island continuously, and a port is also being built.

Australia has protested more than once, saying that Lan Fang’s actions were an infringement on Australian sovereignty.

The two sides engaged in a war of words internationally, but although the Lan Fang war of words was ongoing, its actions did not stop.

The entire Darwin Port was deserted.

Faced with the threat of possible war, ordinary people will seek benefits and avoid harm and stay away from war.

Australia wanted to launch a military operation to eliminate Lan Fang’s military forces around the Tiwi Islands, but Australia’s military strength alone was not enough to do it, and Australia had to rely on US troops stationed in Austria.

It’s just that the United States does not want to be involved in a regional conflict here at this time. If a conflict breaks out here, the United States doesn’t know how many resources it will have to invest.

The United States is pursuing a policy of containment, not wanting to engage in a hot war.

The wars in the Middle East and North Africa have already put pressure on the United States. If it is involved in regional conflicts here, it will be equivalent to fighting on three fronts.

The United States is a big country with a large number of high-quality assets, but the problem is that the landlords don’t have any surplus food.

Medical reform costs money, returning to the moon and building a permanent lunar base costs money, gender diversity and promoting political labels costs money. It costs money everywhere!

The warlord infighting in Mexico has also brought great pressure to the US-Mexico border. Many specialties from Mexico are transported to the United States via drones and underground passages, making it difficult for Americans to defend themselves.

The United States is unwilling to get involved in regional conflicts, and Australia’s own military strength is insufficient to support it.

The arms that Australia ordered from the United States and Europe will not arrive in full in the short term.

到了现在，澳大利亚的空军损失惨重，曾经澳大利亚装备了F-4C/E‘鬼怪’战斗机、F-111C/G土豚战斗机、F/A-18A/B大黄蜂和F/A-18E/F超级大黄蜂式战斗攻击机多达141架，还装备有AP-3C海上巡逻机、波音737预警机、C-130中型运输机等，空军力量还算是比较强的。

Only now, only one-third of the Australian Air Force remains.

澳大利亚参与美国F-35的研制资金投入，采购100架F-35战斗机，但是预计最快要到年底才能获得第一批12架F-35战斗机，想要获得全部100架F-35战斗机，最快也要到2025年。

The 100 Harrier fighters purchased by Australia from the UK, the 50 Rafale fighters, 35 Mirage 2000s, 20 Mirage 4000s and 25 Typhoon fighters purchased from France will not be delivered to Australia at once, but will be delivered to Australia in batches, and will not be fully delivered until next year.

But you have to know that once you get a fighter jet, it doesn’t immediately become combat-ready. It takes some time to become combat-ready.

In order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Australia has specially sent pilots to Europe for training, but even so, these fighter jets will have to wait until the second half of next year before they can be put into combat.

The F-16 fighter jets, F15 fighter jets and F/A18 fighter jets purchased by Australia from the United States will also take time to arrive.

Faced with Lan Fang’s air defense forces, Australia did not even dare to send aircraft to interfere or expel them!
Because of the bad relationship between the two sides, they have not even established diplomatic relations until now. Australia refused to recognize Lan Fang, and Lan Fang retaliated. It can be said that the relationship between the two sides is incompatible.

Although the Tiwi Islands are not yet able to take off and land bombers, they can already take off and land military transport aircraft.

The first drones to be deployed in the Tiwi Islands were military drones.

This is the development of modern technology. The mobilization of military forces can no longer be hidden from reconnaissance satellites and reconnaissance aircraft. Whether it is military mobilization on land or at sea, it is the same. Every move is monitored.

At this time, Liu Tao came to Coconut City.

Chen Weimin accompanied Liu Tao to inspect Coconut City, which is one of the five central cities in Lan Fang and the largest city in Lan Fang. It is also the seat of the ASEAN Secretariat. The entire city covers an area of ​​740 square kilometers and has a permanent population of over million. It has now developed into a modern city.

Accompanied by Chen Weimin, Liu Tao came to the Heroes Monument, which is the symbol of Coconut City and also the biggest symbol of Lan Fang, commemorating the sacrifices of Chinese and overseas Chinese in the process of Lan Fang’s independence. This stone monument is 199 meters high, and the sculpture on the top is made of hundreds of kilograms of gold, symbolizing the indomitable spirit. It contains the heroic deeds of the Lan Fang ancestors in fighting against Dutch colonial rule, as well as the heroic struggles of the Lan Fang ancestors for independence over the past hundred years. There are also fountains, pools and main hero statues next to the monument.

Liu Tao presented a wreath to the Heroes Monument to express his respect for the heroes’ heroic deeds.

In the evening, he attended a cocktail party, where all the political leaders of Lan Fang and the heads of the top ten chaebols attended.

Some of the heads of the top ten chaebols are old acquaintances and friends, some are the sons or even grandsons of friends. Of course, there are also former chaebols that have declined and new chaebols that have risen and are among the top ten chaebols.

The system of Lan Fang is a product of history.

Capital has considerable influence here, but it is far from the influence of the Japanese, Korean and American chaebols.

This can be considered as a product of the intersection of Chinese and Western cultures.

Liu Tao drank and chatted with everyone, then revealed some information to comfort everyone.

It’s not that no one is worried about war.

After all, capital always hopes that social order is stable so that it can do business well.

War is something that most people don’t want to see.

But wars are often not determined by the will of the majority of people, because war is a continuation of politics, it is for politics, and for the purpose of gaining more living space.

National defense and security issues are always the top priority.

Any country that has the ability to do so does not want a war to occur within its territory, because once a war breaks out within its territory, even if the war is ultimately won, it will be a pyrrhic victory. The enormous destructive power and losses caused by the war are enough to turn a country’s decades of construction into ruins.

Therefore, keeping the enemy out of the country is often the core of national defense construction in many countries.

Lan Fang is no exception.

Lan Fang’s series of measures were all aimed at building military bases outside, constructing a maritime security zone, and keeping the war out of the country.

So far, there is no place between Lan Fang and Australia that can be attacked by cannons.

As long as it is not within the direct range of the artillery, even if it is attacked by missiles, the damage caused will be much smaller.

In today’s world, the greatest destructive power of war, excluding nuclear weapons, is actually various artillery!
Cannon is known as the king of war, and that is not just talk.

Missiles are more often used to accurately strike important military targets.

After all, the cost of missiles is relatively high, much higher than that of artillery shells.

As long as Lan Fang and Luzon keep the war out, the entire ASEAN region will be safe, and this security provides the necessary guarantee for the development of the ASEAN region.

Safety is always the prerequisite for development.

Without security, there can be no development.

Imagine a place that is often in turmoil and war. What kind of development can such a place have, let alone economic construction?
The arc circle formed by the Andaman Islands, Lanfang and Luzon is ASEAN’s security line, providing security for the ASEAN region.

In addition to calming people’s hearts, this visit to Lan Fang also had another important purpose, which was to support Chen Weimin.

After the cocktail party, Liu Tao went to Chen Weimin’s home.

Chen Weimin and Liu Honglei live in a small detached Western-style building that is several decades old. The environment is relatively quiet and comfortable. It is also very close to the seaside. It is only a ten-minute walk to the beach, where you can take a walk.

Coconut City has a tropical rainforest climate with an average annual temperature of 27℃. Liu Honglei opened coconuts for the two of them.

The reason why Coconut City is called Coconut City is because it is rich in coconuts. Coconut products with coconut as the core are sold well throughout China.

When people see coconuts, they only think of drinking coconut milk, but in fact, there are many coconut products, such as coconut water, coconut meat, coconut oil, coconut sugar, coconut fruit, coconut carvings, coconut flakes, coconut milk, coconut biscuits, etc.

The coconut production of Lan Fang has remained at around 40 million tons, and a considerable portion of the coconuts and coconut products are exported to China.

In addition to the title of “infrastructure maniac”, China is also known as the “foodie empire”.

The next day, Liu Tao attended the opening ceremony of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Cross-Sea Bridge. The Lanzhou-Xinjiang Cross-Sea Bridge is a cross-sea bridge connecting Singapore and Lanfang. It is 103 kilometers long and utilizes the five existing islands in the middle. It adopts a combination of bridges and tunnels. The maximum span is 25 kilometers away from Singapore and is in the form of an undersea tunnel.

This project is invested and constructed by Panshan Group, which has a 50-year operating right.

The Lanzhou-Xinjiang Cross-sea Bridge is not only used for high-speed traffic, but also for high-speed rail traffic. It also extends the railway network of the Indochina Peninsula to Lanzhou-Fang, greatly enhancing regional connections.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

The same principle applies to the Nanyang region.

About 230 kilometers away from the Lanzhou-Singapore Cross-sea Bridge, there is an undersea tunnel, the Maran Undersea Tunnel. The entire undersea tunnel spans the Strait of Malacca, is 46 kilometers long, and connects to Kuala Lumpur.

The Malan Undersea Tunnel was opened to traffic last year.

The Lanzhou-Xinjiang Cross-sea Bridge is of unquestionable importance to both places.

Although Singapore is developed and its urban construction is ahead of other cities in Southeast Asia, its population exceeds 600 million, making it crowded and dense. Once this cross-sea bridge is completed, many people will be able to go to Lan Fang for vacation.

From the perspective of national defense and security, it can undoubtedly greatly enhance the coalition’s ability to mobilize. Through rail transportation, it can arrive directly. Although this mobilization capability is not as good as sea transportation, the speed is faster than sea transportation. Although the mobilization speed is not as good as air transportation, the scale of mobilization is not comparable to air transportation. (End of this chapter)
