Chapter 68 The Pearl of Destiny
It was already past twelve o'clock in the evening when Zhao Guodong returned to his home in Huaao Center. Liu Ruotong had not yet rested. When he saw Zhao Guodong being drunk, he felt a little disgusted. However, when he saw Zhao Guodong's eyes were very bright and clear, there was even a remnant look of deep thought on his face. Thinking that he was also a "victim", he would not say much, but just put water on Zhao Guodong and asked him to wash up quickly.
Soaked in hot water with a slightly higher temperature, Zhao Guodong leaned back in the bathtub, quietly enjoying the peace after a night of tossing and resting.
The guys Chen Dongzhao and Xu Zhiming are really too troublesome. The saying of hiding dragons and burying tigers in the army is true. Just pulling two people out is a bit cunning character.
Xu Zhiming finally realized his long-cherished wish and went to Lanzhou Military Region to serve as deputy chief of staff. He had just been promoted to major general and went to the local area. It was a double blessing. Of course, in the eyes of many people, going to Lanzhou Military Region does not seem to be a good choice, but Xu Zhiming was happy.
In his opinion, with the current political and military environment in China, it is almost impossible to engage in large-scale wars on land, and there is no hope for conventional wars. Only special wars, such as unconventional wars such as the war against terrorism launched by the Americans, will become mainstream for a long time in the future.
Although China seems to be under a lot of pressure in this regard, Xu Zhiming believes that as the instability of the situation in the Middle East and Central Asia increases and the situation becomes increasingly severe, it will definitely affect the western region of China. Many countries among the SCO member states have a tendency to proliferate fundamentalism. At present, the SCO advocated by China not only needs to strengthen political ties, but also advocate further comprehensive cooperation in economic, cultural and military aspects. Although this has not received a response from Russia, it is obvious that Central Asian countries are very interested in the increasingly powerful China's proposal of such an idea.
The centrifugal tendency that we originally wanted to get rid of Russian control has become increasingly obvious in Central Asian countries. They urgently need a big country to play a leading role in it to counter the influence and pressure exerted by Russia. China has a huge demand for Central Asia in terms of energy, which is also the Central Asian countries hope that China can play a greater role in it, including political, economic, cultural and military aspects.
The United States has deeply inserted its own strength in two wedges - Iraq and Afghanistan, which has made China's sense of urgency in this regard increasingly. Faced with the weak Russia, although its strength has recovered under Putin's leadership, China cannot hand over Central Asia, an important backyard that concerns China's development in the next 50 years, to any other country, except for itself, so Xu Zhiming firmly believes that the Lanzhou Military Region will become a bridgehead for the three countries of China, the United States and Russia to play the Central Asian region. So when he had the opportunity to serve in the Lanzhou Military Region, he chose without hesitation.
Lively characters were floating in Zhao Guodong's mind, which made him feel a long-lost impulse. The long-term routine work in the local area seemed to have obliterated and eroded his once passionate mind. Tonight's strong wine and free speech, even though there were too many unrealistic things, it always brought a strong wind to make people excited.
Liu Ruotong snuggled beside Zhao Guodong and listened to Zhao Guodong's intermittently telling what he saw and heard in the evening. She could feel that the other party's mood had not seemed to have completely calmed down from the stimulation of alcohol, or that the other party didn't want to calm down at all, but wanted to use this alcohol to express something.
China's future and destiny, the inevitability of the rise of a great power and the opportunities and crises faced, his words and thinking seemed a little confused, but Liu Ruotong never regarded it as the other party's nonsense. Countless facts prove that the man's prophecy is full of judgments derived from wise analysis, and its accuracy is even higher than that of some professional intelligence analysts. This surprised Liu Ruotong very much at the intuition of this man. Apart from intuition, she really couldn't find a suitable reason to describe it.
She just listened quietly to the other party's fun to express. Until the other party's snoring gradually sounded, she calmed down and thought carefully about everything the other party said.
The plane was moving smoothly in the air, and Zhao Guodong leaned back on the air seat, which was not comfortable to rest on his pillow.
The free and easy talk that night was full of excitement, and it seemed that it was still floating in my mind. He also pointed out the country and inspired words in it. Even now, when I remembered the free and easy talk that night, Zhao Guodong still couldn't calm down for a long time.
They are all pursuing their own career goals in their respective positions, and are both temporary elites. The consciousness of being born from distress and dying from happiness has always lingered in their minds. Compared with their hard work, they seem to be too free and easy.
Shen Dongzhao, Xu Zhiming, Lin Musen, Kuang Tianjiu, Zhuo Benji,..., everyone is so outstanding. They seem to be a bit of their nobleness in it. The complicated thoughts coiled in Zhao Guodong's heart, making him subconsciously feel that he should work harder to move forward for the goals he set, just like Liu Ruotong, for his career goals, he will persevere and never give up easily.
When Xu Zhiming arrived at the Lanzhou Military Region, it seemed that he wanted to work hard to form a special rapid response force. The western border area was vast and complicated. It was dependent on South Asia and Central Asia. It would be an important base for the army to go out in the future, and anti-terrorism special operations and unconventional military operations would become the mainstream.
Lin Musen, an important member of the Navy Command, has unknown specific identity. It is said that he will soon be in the South China Sea Fleet and is probably going to show his style in the South China Sea area, which involves China's core interests.
Kuang Tianjiu is about to serve as a group army in the southwest. He is also a brave and heroic figure. He also feels that he meets Zhao Guodong at first sight. He talks overnight, which makes both of them feel a little sympathetic. Although they are not on the same front, the other party has long heard of Zhao Guodong's reputation in this circle, especially Zhao Guodong's deep strategic vision has made the other party highly appreciate it, and he expressed that he would come to Ningling to visit Zhao Guodong at the right time.
I used to feel a little frivolous, but Zhao Guodong finally felt that it was worth it that night. At least he poured out many predictions and ideas in his heart, so that no one could know for a long time. As for how much the butterfly spread its wings in this encounter could play, Zhao Guodong had no time to take care of it now. Now it was time for him to do his own things.
"I have carefully looked at the composition and development and changes of this local industry. It should have begun to develop one after the city was established, but it was not obvious. Until 97, 98 and 99, there was a significant growth momentum. The development momentum was steady in 2000 and 2001, but there was a high growth trend since 2002, and the growth trend this year was a bit terrifying."
Zhao Guodong, who was already a little drowsy, was attracted by the conversation between the two rows in front of him.
"Well, this place has been at the end of the fourteen prefecture-level cities in Anyuan before 1997, but I carefully observed the natural conditions of this place. It was actually not bad. It was limited to the backward infrastructure and was not fully utilized. Lao Li, have you noticed that the transportation foundations in the east, west and north of this area are relatively backward. Yongliang, Tongcheng and Xiangxi have given this place a natural advantage to become an Anyuan sub-center. The only thing that can compete with it is probably Pennsylvania. The opening of the Xiliu Railway and Wujiang Waterway has brought this area a great opportunity. In addition, the Anxiang Railway and Anxiang Expressway are about to be connected, making the geographical transportation advantages of this place more prominent. Water-land transport can be connected to all regions and cities around it, and has the advantages of trade and transportation. If it can achieve a major breakthrough in the industry, I think the development prospects of this place are extremely broad."
"In fact, Ningling has made breakthroughs in industry, and has also established different goals at different stages. Ningling is currently the most important power equipment and materials manufacturing base in the central and western regions. I looked at it and its output value accounted for half of Ningling's total industrial output value last year. This strategic step was implemented in 1998. Since last year, Ningling has identified the new energy, new materials and environmental protection technology equipment manufacturing industries as their dominant industries, and has achieved a huge breakthrough in one fell swoop. It is known as the Silicon City. From this, it seems that the local government of Ningling is particularly policy continuity in promoting strategic transformation."
"Achieve industrial breakthroughs is not just about introducing a few projects. I think this has a lot to do with its geographical environment and basic conditions. It is precisely because of the huge changes in Ningling's transportation infrastructure in recent years that its original potential has been discovered. For example, Ningling used to have rich pink quartz resources and abundant power resources, but because it is affected by the backward infrastructure and the international market, it did not expect to develop the new energy industry. Instead, the situation has developed to this day, giving it this opportunity."
"Old Han, I think what you are talking about is just a superficial reason. It is not only Ningling where there are rich pink quartz resources, but places with sufficient power supply are everywhere in the central and western regions. These are not decisive factors. I am thinking that Ningling always has some special things that attract so many large projects to settle down. I think the purpose of our visit this time is to find out the internal factors."
