Chapter 296 Strategic Direction
That evening.
Li Qingye has left Thonburi and appeared in the southern part of Mount Thaniun, hundreds of kilometers away.
The readjustment of the internal divisions of the control areas also meant that governors and other senior managers in various places needed to be adjusted.
Internal video conference.
Li Qingye glanced at everyone present and said, "Complete the handover of your work as soon as possible. Next, we need to deal with the pressure from the major powers."
"Yes, Chairman."
After the re-arrangement, the heads of each region are:
Carmen Lopez served as Governor-General of Luzon.
Stir served as Governor of Ceylon.
Wu Nan served as the Governor-General of Siam.
Wu Ye Bo served as the Governor of Malacca.
Harry Fernando served as Governor of the Spice Islands.
Long Yuanzhi served as Governor of Borneo.
Mang Wenshan served as the Governor of Java.
Ma Chi served as the governor of Hongsavady.
Wu Gang served as Governor of Assam.
In addition, there are the heads of the five directly-administered cities. Li Guming will continue to be in charge of Sing Tao City, Bawit will be in charge of Thonburi City, Maungan will be in charge of Yangon City, Xu Yingjie will be in charge of Timor City, and Zhang Wei will be in charge of Manila City.
Qiu Yingle, Garfield Fernando, Fang Xincheng, Xu Yingming and Liu Zhifan were transferred to the headquarters of Zhiren Company as heads of various departments.
Among them, Fang Xincheng is in charge of the Supervision Department, Liu Zhifan is in charge of the Internal Affairs Department, Xu Yingming is in charge of the Commercial Department, Garfield is in charge of the Internal Health Department, and Qiu Yingle is in charge of the Information Department.
Chen Jianxiong is still in charge of the original field department, while the internal affairs department is taken over by Bagheira, the former head of the Blood Blade Special Forces.
After arranging the governors of various places and the heads of various departments at the headquarters, Li Qingye left a group of ministers to discuss some of the next strategic issues.
"The three-way confrontation between Asia and the Western Pacific is difficult to break for the time being. What do you think?"
Everyone looked at the holographic projection map in front of them. It was actually very difficult to continue the annexation of Eastern Asia and Western Pacific.
Otherwise, it will not only be America that will take desperate measures, but other powers will also join forces with America.
Qiu Yingle put down the pen in his hand and suggested: "How about cultural infiltration and information warfare? We have a huge advantage in this area and are already invincible. I think there is a lot of room for improvement."
"I agree with Ms. Yingle's idea, but I would like to add one thing." Liu Zhifan continued:
“We should induce the entire East Asian region in terms of mineral resources and energy, so that they will be highly dependent on us for energy and minerals.”
Barron Dutt, who was in charge of the Mining Management Department, called up an internal mineral reserve data and shared it with everyone. Then he pointed to the data list and explained:
“This is the company’s current mineral reserves.”
Oil reserves: 16.3 billion tons (including 2.4 billion tons of conventional oil and 13.9 billion tons of shale oil.)
Natural gas reserves: 24 trillion cubic meters (11 trillion cubic meters of conventional natural gas and 13 trillion cubic meters of shale gas.)
The annual production of fermentation methane is 167.3 billion cubic meters.
Judging from the energy reserves alone, the area controlled by the Homo Sapiens Company is not short of energy, and there is still a lot of unexplored seabed.
In addition, the company's hydropower, geothermal and nuclear power are developing very rapidly.
For example, the volcanic geothermal energy in the Luzon Islands, Java Island, and Sumatra Island has potential exploitable electricity of 8 to 12 million megawatts.
The combined hydropower potential of Assam, Honsavady and Siam can reach 210,000 megawatts.
Liu Zhifan went straight to the point: "In terms of energy, we can block the channels for East Asia to import energy from West Asia through the Strait of Malacca, the Lombok Strait and the Kra Canal, and there is no need to waste our precious reserves."
"Then let's look at other minerals!" Barron Dutt pointed to the data list of mineral reserves.
At present, the mineral reserves of Zhiren Company are: 75.2 billion tons of iron ore (average grade 32%), 3.6 billion tons of copper ore, 5.2 billion tons of bauxite...
There are also large reserves of various precious metals, rare metals, rare gases, rare earth minerals, etc.
Liu Zhifan looked at the information:
"The prices of lithium and helium have soared recently. The company has discovered several deep lithium mines in Assam and has mastered the technology of separating helium from volcanoes. We can start a price war, artificially create price fluctuations, suppress Western mining companies, and then let our vests find ways to merge these mining companies."
"I will try to cooperate in this regard." Chen Jianxiong interjected.
Liu Zhifan continued, "In addition, we must prepare for a food war. East Asia is the core area for food imports. As long as we can control their food, they will not be able to stand up."
Xu Yingming warned: "Food in America, Russia, Brazil and Australia is a big threat."
Everyone knows the importance of food.
Li Qingye would naturally not show mercy. He said, "We have already tested it on North American soybeans to deal with various grain-producing and exporting regions. Next, we can formulate a detailed plan."
It is simply wishful thinking to want to block the foreign trade of Homo sapiens Company.
Sapiens companies can artificially create a situation of food scarcity, thereby forcing those regions that cannot be self-sufficient in food to "open up" on their own.
For example, Japan and South Korea.
For example, West Pakistan, East Pakistan, Persia, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.
These regions are highly dependent on food imports. If they lose food supplies from North America, South America and Russia, it will be an absolute disaster for them.
The Homo sapiens companies that have integrated most of Southeast Asia have a very large amount of food production.
The Hongsawadi district alone can produce 100 to 200 million tons of grain a year. Together with other regions, it can produce 500 to 600 million tons of grain a year, which is more than enough.
If the Homo Sapiens Company activates the lightless farms in various underground base cities, food production can easily reach the level of more than ten billion tons.
With such good cards in hand, it would be a waste not to start a food war.
Using food crops as a stepping stone, we can tear open the trade blockade of the great powers.
After all, everyone needs to eat. Other daily necessities, cars, houses and the like can be tolerated, but no one can tolerate the problem of eating.
The discussion lasted for more than eight hours.
During this period, a series of strategic plans were formulated.
It covers culture, entertainment, industrial chain, energy, minerals, food, semiconductors, automobiles, shipbuilding, medical care, transportation and other aspects.
At the same time, the next expansion direction is also determined.
At this stage, the Homo Sapiens company will encounter huge resistance when heading north and east. These two directions can only be put on hold temporarily, using a soft knife approach to destroy its resistance bit by bit.
Expansion to the west and south is relatively easier.
To the west is South Asia and West Asia, to the south is Oceania, and it can also expand to Southeast Africa in the southwest.
Diego Garcia Island, which was previously seized from America by Homo sapiens, is the island under the name of Seychelles.
To the southwest of Seychelles are Madagascar, Comoros, Mauritius and Reunion (French).
These weaklings are not worth mentioning in front of the Homo sapiens company.
The vast Ceylon Ocean provided Homo sapiens with huge strategic depth in the west.
Even though America has been continuously strengthening the military power of India and Australia in recent years, it is difficult for them to compete with the Homo sapiens company in the Ceylon Ocean.
The entire Circum-Ceylon Ocean region is the next key expansion direction for the Sapiens Company.
Just after Li Qingye held this internal meeting.
Sanjibada Layal appeared in the room: "Sir, Prince Jipu of the Saudi Kingdom wants to purchase a batch of drones and missiles, and the Ministry of Military Industry asked for your opinion."
"You can consider selling a batch of monkey versions."
Sanjibada Layal continued, “The other party also wants to invite you to Saudi Arabia.”
"I rejected it directly and will turn down similar invitations in the future." Li Qingye waved his hand.
Sanjibada Layal nodded and said, "Yes, I will convey it immediately."
