It is precisely because of the memories that are stimulating and awakened by Yang Yuanzhao, he still remembers it very clearly. In the in-depth analysis of the Kara Canal, he once said that the biggest difference between China and Thailand is in terms of jurisdiction. China's demand must have a certain jurisdiction over the Kara Canal, and at least it can affect some strategic decisions of the canal, and to a certain extent, troops will be stationed to ensure China's national security and oil security.

Thailand will never agree with this point. From a broad perspective, it represents the sovereignty of a country. Thailand has not yet reached that level with China. In addition, the social situation in which China was in at that time can be said to be very dangerous. After the United States disintegrated the Soviet Union and became the only superpower in the world, it regarded China as its imaginary enemy. China is the largest country among different ideologies. It not only creates an island chain, but also starts with Japan to carry out a complete military layout and surround China, preventing China from moving from green water to blue water, and encircling countries around China.

Thailand is one of them. Even all the countries in the Indochina Peninsula and Southeast Asia are the targets of the United States. Among them, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines are the most powerful. They are all at the border with China's South China Sea. With the help of China's weakness of being too far away and fighter jets and ships unable to come, they crazily occupy China's islands and reefs and steal China's oil. Until the completion of the Yongxing Island reclamation project, the airport was built, and the government was the core Sansha City came to an end. China used its huge manpower, material resources and money to build a miracle in the history of reclamation. It was a huge island like Yongxing Island, which completely controlled the Xisha, and stabilized the situation.

Among the countries bordering China, except for Russia, which had good friendship with China, the rest were hostile, which was also the most difficult place for China at that time. Even Russia was seeking common ground in differences. In the process of establishing diplomatic relations, many people also rose up. As the successor of the Soviet Union, Russia could not integrate into NATO and the Western world even after its ideology changed. The same situation created the exchanges between the two countries. The agreement between Shanghai's five countries laid the foundation for both sides and eased the border problems.

Apart from Russia, even North Korea, which was supported by China, is playing rogues and constantly threatening China. Thailand has not reached that level. The relationship between Thailand and China has always been tense. Even the relationship between South Korea and Thailand is better than that between China and Thailand. Under this premise, it is too impossible to agree to hand over the canal to China's jurisdiction.

China is much stronger than Thailand, and with the border relationship, it can directly send troops to destroy it before World War I. With this threat, small neighboring countries cannot jump around. Unfortunately, after World War II, the whole world was dominated by peace and respecting territorial sovereignty. With the support of NATO such as the United States, Thailand still maintained a tough attitude towards China under the premise of turmoil, which caused huge differences in this good thing that had a huge impact on the region and was eventually shelved.

If a canal is considered only from the economic perspective, it is acceptable without jurisdiction. Especially in later generations, China is becoming more and more dependent on oil in the Middle East. China has become the world's largest oil importer. The construction of a canal may be able to recover its cost in 15 to 20 years. A ship saves US$200,000 each time, 10,000 ships is 2 billion, and 15 years is 30 billion. This is equivalent to making the investment back the canal. There will be at least 70 years or even a hundred years of profit in the future. In this case, as long as the necessary share is drawn, China can also accept it.

But this premise is that if the political situation in Thailand is stable, Thailand's political situation is unstable. In this way, no one dares to take risks. If the canal is completed, a coup will occur and overturn everything signed by the government, it is not impossible to do with more than 30 billion investment. After 1997, Thailand was in a state of turmoil. The coup happened several times alone. The military government frequently seized power, the prime minister was kicked out several times, and there was also a farce to judge the past national leaders. This project that was very perfect and had direct benefits for many aspects, stopped there.

Control is the most important thing for future generations. China would rather invest and give up some of the benefits. For example, if Thailand has a certain advantage in the distribution plan of the entire Kra Canal, and increase the proportion of land and control, it is not willing to give up control. A huge project with tens of billions of dollars is not controlled by its own country. It is better not to do it. Singapore is an international waterway. Generally speaking, it is difficult to treat differently. The canal is different. Just like in the current war, Britain used the Suez Canal to block Germany. If there is any crisis, China will still have to go to Malacca. This is unacceptable to China.

This is the situation faced by the Kara Canal in later generations, but it is not the situation that China is currently facing. Now, the entire East Asia is all China, and the entire East Asia is originally China, South Korea and North Korea, and even part of Russia. But now, Siberia is China, Southeast Asia is also China, and North Korea is also China, which is a Japan. Now Japan is also a servant of China, and the rest is China's land.

In Japan, it is controlled by China. As an international canal in later generations, the biggest problem of control is that for China at present, there is no problem at all and has become something that China can decide for itself. This difference is simply from heaven and underground. China not only has control over the canal, but also has the technology, funds and manpower to build canals. What else can stop China from building this Kara Canal?

Such a canal that has experienced twists and turns in later generations is like a ripe fruit, placed in front of China and Yang Yuanzhao, waiting for his picking.

From memory, the existence of this canal was confirmed. From the beginning, it was favored by countless people. Because of all kinds of unsuccessful canals, it seemed that it had shone a different light in front of Yang Yuanzhao. As long as it is fully cultivated, it will be of great benefit to China.

The Kara Canal existed for oil in later generations. None of the three East Asian countries did not have enough oil production. In later generations, China had an endless demand for oil with the development of industry and the continuous increase in social demand. Without China's demand, oil would not have risen so high. China became the number one importer of oil.

Whether it was making some investments in the Middle East or building large-scale oil pipelines in Kazakhstan and Russia, it was China's efforts for national strategies, and the same was true for the Kara Canal. If this could be penetrated at that time and gained jurisdiction of part of the canal, coupled with a military port obtained in the Indian Ocean, China could really ensure its own oil security while breaking through the island chain of the US military and reaching the blue ocean from the other end. This is China's greatest progress.

Unfortunately, this strategy has not been realized, which is a multifaceted reason. It is more because China is backward in modern times. However, in this era, China not only did not lag behind, but instead regained its peak with the help of Yang Yuanzhao. Under this circumstance, the military value of the development of the Kra Canal is not that important, but it is also a project worth developing.

In this era, oil in the Middle East has not yet begun. A Middle East that occupies the vast majority of the world's oil reserves is still buried under the loess of the Middle East desert. However, this era has changed from history. China has risen and intervened in the First World War and became Germany's main supporter. With the help of China, the 3B railway in the Middle East has been built. This major transportation artery has always been the most exported place for China to Germany, supporting the resources of a country in the World War. This is much more than crude oil. Especially last year, another obvious change has occurred. Not only has it been transported over the things, but also with the 3B railway, a large amount of oil was transported back from Germany.

History has deviated under the leadership of Yang Yuanzhao. China has obtained the Middle East and did not develop the Middle East. After expelling the local indigenous people, the yellow sand there covered up the huge oil. In the Middle East without oil, it is just a desert and a barren land. Although there are some difficulties for those who have faith, the power of this world will not be as good as the weak or a desert, and no one will fight for it to death.

With the increase in Chinese immigration and construction, cities, under the dominance of China, are getting bigger and bigger, connected from points to surface and from surface to surface. With the help of the chaos during World War I, although China did not include the Middle East in its territory, it actually controlled it. As long as China is not in war and encounters large-scale failure in the future, it will not worry about the loss of this piece of land. Historically, after World War I, the Arabs also expected that the Arabian Peninsula would be returned to them as previously said, but things went against their wishes. This land that originally belonged to Turkey was occupied by the British, and the British could do all this, but it was still in World War I without any preparation. After World War I, small-scale troops were sent to achieve it. There is no reason why China could not do all this.

For this land with infinite oil, China invested at least 20 million people and built at least 20 large and medium-sized cities, directly stabilizing this area. Even if the oil was not developed, even if the Arabian Peninsula was full of deserts, the Chinese could still survive here, build some industries, and even use the transportation of materials from Turkey and Austro-Hungary to carry out part of the processing, and then sell it to Europe. This has become the greatest effort made by China in the Arabian Peninsula before the oil was opened, and even established some petrochemical enterprises, but at most it was to crack oil. After all, it is almost impossible to establish petrochemical deep processing enterprises in the Arabian Peninsula, and the cost will rise to an incredible level. (To be continued.)
