At present, East Africa is basically a desert of industrial production, where various industries are basically maintained at the level of handicraft workshops.

Moreover, except for Yi Zizhuo and others, other Chinese businessmen who make money in Africa are very cautious and their investment scale is not large.

Therefore, not only pharmaceutical factories, cement factories, but also electronic and chemical companies in the future, Yizizhuo will not have vicious competition with other Chinese-funded enterprises in Kenya.

Yizizhuo plans to start textile, printing and dyeing, food processing, steel, machinery manufacturing, leather products processing, electricity, military industry and other enterprises in Malindi.

A veritable kingdom must be self-sufficient in basic material consumption. Only on this basis can economic development and the establishment of private troops be discussed.

The arrival of Sun Jinheng and others can free Yi Zizhuo from the heavy government work and spend more time thinking about Malindi's development plan.

By October, Yizizhuo had already created a certain fact in Malindi. An international delegation hosted by the United States entered Malindi and saw a vibrant city.

The white people who were originally planning to come and find fault had to leave silently.

The end of 1954 was an extremely important year for the entire world, because during this year, the two world powers confirmed their strategic positioning, and the confrontation of the Cold War officially began.

The 34th president of the United States is Eisenhower, who is also the only five-star general in American history to become president and a hardcore hawk soldier.

In 1952, he participated in the presidential election and was overwhelmed by the president of the United States of America.

Compared with Truman's Jin-Yuan diplomacy, Eisenhower showed his tough style as soon as he took office. First, he attacked the Chinese Federation on issues of Iran and Turkey, and expelled the Chinese people's forces from these two countries.

The head of the Hualian League at that time was Chen Jiongming, who advocated moderate restraint in foreign affairs and believed that the war had ended and China's strategic development focus should be adjusted to the economy.

Chen Jiongming doesn't like fighting, so if he can, he is more keen on the internal construction of the country.

If it weren't for trade needs and oil, it would have been likely that even the overseas garrisons of the United Nations in Gibraltar and Suez would have withdrawn from their homeland.

After the Lop Nur incident, Chen Jiongming had to resign as head of Hualian early.

Returning to China from East Africa, everything that happened in Kenya was written into news and reported in a lot of reports. Among them, Yi Zizhuo was even praised as the "savior of the African people". It is obvious that someone was behind the scenes.

These people are not others, but the Innovation Society. Under the instruction of Li Zongren, American imperialism was portrayed as a power tyrant that bullies the world, and called on China to shoulder the responsibility of saving the world.

Li Zongren's words aroused the national pride of the Chinese people and also catered to the interests of the three major groups. Chen Jiongming was too conservative in the past and was unwilling to use force for commercial interests and energy issues, and even feared when facing the US expansion policy.

On the Iran issue, Chen Jiongming did not agree to Yi Zhongming's request, but allowed the British and Americans to join forces to overturn the puppet government built by the Chinese through the election, forcing Chinese forces to withdraw from Iran.

Qingzhu Chemical suffered a huge loss. The excavation plan for several large oil fields was about to be negotiated, but now we can only watch the cooked ducks fly to the hands of the American energy chaebol.

This is also the reason why no one supports Chen Jiongming in media and public opinion.

In the city of Guangzhou, the headquarters building of the Industrial and Economic Union, on the top floor. Chen Ze, Yi Zhongming and Liu Haoran gathered together rarely. Today is not a special day, but tomorrow will be different.

Tomorrow will be the final moment for the announcement of the results of the General Election of the Head of State of China. Now there are crowds of people on the streets, and many people are waving their votes and making their final bets.

On the top floor of the tallest skyscraper in Guangzhou, Chen Ze looked down with a look of looking down at all living beings with fun. In his eyes, all living beings were like ants, all in his palms.

"Zhongming, I heard that you sent your son to Kenya. Do you want to do this?" Liu Haoran smiled and joked, "But it seems that someone is planning to use Zizhuo. I think it's better for you to have snacks."

This is envy and a reminder that the China Economic Union and the Innovation Association are not all the same people after all, and Liu Haoran always has doubts about the radicals in the army.

"I can't control my child when he grows up and pursues his dreams." Yi Zhongming laughed, neither admitting nor giving more details.

Chen Ze turned around and exposed Yi Zhongming's thoughts: "I think you can't control it, but you don't want to control it."

Yi Zizhuo brought so many veterans and was equipped with various heavy weapons. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the goal was quite large.

When a businessman has money, he wants a sense of security. What is the most secure in this world?

The army, with hundreds of thousands of troops, is to rest assured and no one can shake it. But this cannot be done in the Chinese Federation. The state has national laws and family rules. Except for the federal army, local governments do not allow recruiting soldiers on their own, let alone businessmen like Yi Zhongming?

Only in Kenya, that lawless place, can everything come naturally.

Everyone understands this topic and does not go too far. They gather today just for tomorrow's election.

"Who do you think will be elected tomorrow?" Yi Zhongming asked calmly.

"Who else? Except for Li Zongren, the support ratings of the other candidates are not enough." Liu Haoran smoked and ignored it, "But if Li Zongren came to power, it would be the world of radicals in the army. I don't know if there would be war."

"It's hard to say." Chen Ze lowered his forehead. "Although the war has just ended, the United States has also elected a hawkish president, and the gunpowder smells strong on both sides."

"Tsk, the Americans can't beat us. Do you want to scare us with money and diplomatic means?" Due to the problem of trade frictions, Liu Haoran, who runs on the sea trade route, has confronted the US government many times. Therefore, the hatred is also relatively large. He is satirizing Truman's Marshall plan and the US's gold and dollar diplomacy.

This is also a common trick of Jewish chaebols, using the power of the international financial order to incite other countries to launch wars against one country.

During the World War, the Jews mobilized the entire European power to defeat the rising Germany. However, Britain later began to boycott the Red Shield family, which led to the shift of the center of the financial order to the United States.

The Jews not only brought investment to North America, but also brought patented technologies. The power of the people continued to tilt towards the new continent, and World War II further promoted the rise of the United States.

In the original space and time, it was the Soviet Union that led the East to fight against North America around the world, but in this space and time, China became the leader of the Eastern world and naturally shouldered the main force to fight against the United States' global expansion.

The situation in the world seems to have become the pattern of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the past, so I don’t know who was the Qin Dynasty who laughed to the end.

The China Economic Union, a standard national economic coordination organization, has quickly become the world's largest economic organization as the nationalism of the China Federation expands to the world.

Neither the World Monetary Fund nor the International Banking Alliance could compete with the China Economic Union. Under such a general premise, Liu Haoran and others naturally could not tolerate Chen Jiongming's conservative strategy.

If the IECF wants to continue to develop, it must go to the world and launch an attack on the occupied lands of the Western world.

During World War II, the Chinese Federation forced Britain to give up the Middle East to China, and the Chinese Federation government subcontracted the Middle East's oil extraction rights to the Industrial and Economic Union. The most important contractor was of course Yi Zhongming, who runs chemical companies.

However, the Americans were unwilling to admit defeat. They helped the Zionists establish Israel, a Jewish state in Jerusalem.

At that time, Chen Jiongming proposed a moderate diplomacy not to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, believing that the dispute between Jews and Arabs was far away in the Middle East and had nothing to do with our country.

The military believes that the struggle between Jews and Arabs can prevent the Middle East from falling into the hands of a single nation, so it also chose to remain silent.

But then, through the relationship between the British, the United States successfully launched a coup, helping pro-Americanists to take office in Iran, expelling Chinese forces.

And at this time, it was too late for the military to say anything until Chen Jiongming stepped down.

Chen Ze is relatively calm and is both expecting and worried about Li Zongren's election. The radicals have the upper hand in the government and will definitely have confrontation and struggle with the China-Economic Union, which is common in the power struggle between state factions.

"I heard the news that Li Zongren wanted to plan to land the moon." Liu Haoran said quietly.

When Chen Ze and Yi Zhongming heard this, they were both shocked: "Hasn't Zhong Yang announced the cessation of the Sky Plan?"

The Sky Plan is a super strategic plan to advance humans to the space age, and landing on the moon will be the first step in this plan.

If it weren't for the incident of the Demon Legion a few years ago and the discovery of large bases of unknown forces on the back of the moon, the Sky Palace project would have now achieved its first step.

"I remember that Zhong Yang also wanted to start a moon landing plan at the beginning, but after snatching a flying saucer from the Germans, Chen Jiongming opposed the implementation of the moon landing plan with national power." Liu Haoran was also involved in rocket research and development and knew that there was such a thing.

"Chen Jiongming of course objected. The development of Rockets was too wasteful of resources and was simply burning money. Besides making the government look better, there was basically no actual economic benefits. Isn't this the face-saving project he often talks about?" Yi Zhongming said with a smile.

"It's not his fault. Chen Jiongming has always been concerned about people's livelihood and economy. We all understand that we don't want to do such evil ways. Moreover, you have seen the performance of the UFO, which is much better than the Rockets." Among the three, Chen Ze and Chen Jiongming have the best relationship, so it's not surprising that they help them speak.

"The UFO uses the Earth's magnetic field to obtain energy and can achieve anti-gravity flight, which is indeed much cheaper than a rocket that can only rely on a jet engine, and can be used repeatedly."

Zhong Yang used launch vehicles to launch satellites to the sky and provide information services for China's military strategy.

So far, the Chinese Federation has launched more than 120 rockets and sent 214 satellites into predetermined space orbits, so it is very clear that the research and development and use costs of rockets are developed.

Developing a launch vehicle requires high-precision technology. Launching a launch vehicle is a huge project. Therefore, the cost of aerospace launch is extremely high.

Generally speaking, the cost of launching a launch vehicle includes the following aspects: the unit price of the development cost of the launch vehicle, the launch cost of the launch vehicle, and the measurement and control cost of the launch vehicle.

The components that make up the launch vehicle have high technical requirements. After going through various stages such as pre-research, production, assembly, and testing, a large amount of funds are required for each stage.

More importantly, the production volume of launch vehicles cannot reach tens of thousands like cars. It is quite large to produce dozens or hundreds of them. Some of them only produce a few. The inability to standardize large-scale industrial production will undoubtedly greatly increase the cost of a single piece.

In 1949, the "Tianshu" carrier rocket developed by the China Economic Union to transport commercial satellites only produced 15, and the cost of a rocket was as high as 185 million Huayuan!

The single "Kaiyang" launch vehicle that is still in use in the United States is as costing as more than 200 million yuan. The launch cost of the launch vehicle includes the cost of propellant consumed, the cost of the launch site, and the cost of various ground ancillary facilities, and of course, the cost of labor.

After all, every rocket ascends to space means burning a vault.

The cost of testing and control of launch vehicles mainly includes the costs that are required to be spent on testing and control stations, measurement ships, and command and control centers all over the country. Based on the above factors, it can be seen that the cost of launching a launch vehicle is very high.

Therefore, Chen Jiongming opposed the so-called moon landing plan. China finally won the war and its national strength was seriously damaged. It was the time to rest and recuperate.

Moreover, this matter is not only Chen Jiongming's will, but also the majority of the members of the Supreme Parliament and the China Economic Union, nor do they want to launch a large-scale rocket launch.

Satellites are basically enough now, at least in the next ten years. There are not many satellites that need to be replaced. Considering the cost of each launch and the monopoly benefits, Chen Ze and others do not support the government spending money on rockets, which also includes the moon landing plan.

So, when Yi Zhongming said this, Chen Ze and Liu Haoran both showed surprise.

"The military's general staff made a plan to bring all major powers around the world into it. I only know the name of this plan - "Space Race". "Yi Zhongming gave a more amazing inside story.

"Space Race?!" Chen Ze's reaction was the most intense, "I also heard Yongmian mention it. At that time, I thought it was nonsense."

"When it comes to rocket technology, we started earlier, had more comprehensive technology, and had relatively low cost. If we could bring the United States into this plan, it would be a good idea. But can Americans be fooled?" Liu Haoran was still very disdainful of this plan.

Americans have also dug up the flying saucer left by ancient civilizations, so how could they continue to invest money in bottomless pits like space race?

"This may be possible." Yi Zhongming said again, "Our Hualian system is different from that of the United States. In China, our China Economic and Economic Union presides over the Supreme Council and is also a financial manager of the entire country. Of course, he is unwilling to spend money on Rockets as a sucker."

"But the United States is different. Money belongs to the state, and is managed by the government's finance department and is under the responsibility of Congress. The cost of each rocket is borne by the state, but the profit belongs to private enterprises. Of course, it is because of the generous people that the government is happy to share the spoils."

Liu Haoran was also speechless about this kind of thing.

American aerospace companies can actually make profits, but the China Economic and Economic Union has to snatch their fingers and spend money to barely recover some costs through commercial satellites.

To make a profit, you have to go through a long economic cycle, which may be five years or ten years. But by that time, the new satellite technology has been improved and it will be re-launched. This is simply a bottomless pit for money.

All I spent on this was my own money, so of course I felt sorry for it.

Liu Haoran asked in disbelief: "Does Li Zongren really plan to start a moon landing plan and start a space race?"

"Li Zongren has begun to send people to lobby members of the Supreme Parliament, and is also planning to propose several constitutional amendments." Yi Zhong remained calm.

But Liu Haoran frowned because he knew Yi Zhongming's personality well. The more he did this, the more serious the matter was.
