Chapter 233 $10 Billion Ransom
"Xiaozhou, you..."
The sound of the always calm and elegant sound was also opened in surprise at this time, staring at Lingzhou with beautiful eyes.
Oh my God! You know, the six major regions, the closest region to the Central Special Zone of Lanling Capital, is also 1,000 nautical miles!
"Your Highness, this is almost impossible to accomplish."
Chen Yiru shook his head and said.
"As long as you think about it and spend money, nothing is impossible."
Ling Zhou shook his head, raised his chin, looked at the vast sea, and smiled and said, "At present, the longest bridge in the world is the Dankunt Bridge, with a total length of 164.851 kilometers. I want to build a bridge with a length of 1,000 nautical miles and about 1,852 kilometers."
As he said that, he paused for a moment and smiled, "This is indeed very difficult, but we can build several large artificial islands as a transit!"
Chen Yiru was a little dizzy.
Build a bridge?
Create an artificial island?
This is only Ling Zhou's head, right?
"Your Highness, to build a bridge connecting the six major regions and the Central Capital Special Zone, let alone the technical issues, just say that the funds required are huge! It is estimated that at least $100 billion, or even more."
Chen Yiru said seriously.
Ling Zhou nodded, and he naturally understood this. He also knew that the manpower and financial resources needed to connect several areas of Lanling with bridges is huge. The time it takes is also long.
According to his understanding, the construction of the Huaxia Dankun Super Bridge employs about 10,000 people.
The time it took was as long as four years.
The funds consumed reached 8.5 billion US dollars.
The bridge he is going to build is more than 10 times the length of the Dankun Bridge, and the funds and manpower consumed are definitely more than 10 times.
Of course, this is only the distance between the Central Capital Special Zone and the nearest region.
If we want to connect the six major regions together, the manpower and financial resources that will be consumed will probably be 20 times higher.
"Haha! What we lack the least is money. We have two oil fields, and together, we have 8 billion tons of oil reserves. In addition, we also have a vast Lanling Sea. In the past, with our Lanling obstruction, the Chiguo's development of this sea area was probably not even one-tenth, and there are still a large number of resources here. Now, we have an epoch-making "mineral detection aircraft", which can explore the entire Lanling Sea and excavate all these resources. In addition, we can also use the "mineral detection aircraft" to explore other sea areas for exploration."
Ling Zhou looked into the distance with a smile and said, "With the 'mineral detection aircraft', it can be said that the vast ocean is our vault. In this way, will we still lack money? Since we are not short of money, we must do everything possible to build Lanling to the most perfect."
Chen Yiru nodded and understood Ling Zhou's thoughts.
She also understood that transportation is a major project of national development. Using bridges to connect Lanling's various regions together, making Lanling's domestic transportation more convenient, and naturally, Lanling can develop better.
"I just don't know if your Majesty will agree."
Chen Yiru said.
"Haha! My father is not always stubborn, it is conducive to the development of the country, and he has no reason to object."
Ling Zhou laughed loudly.
Chen Yiru nodded and stopped talking.
After thinking about it carefully, she also agreed with Ling Zhou's proposal in her heart.
Yu Yin watched from the side, without expressing her opinion, and she didn't understand these things.
Ling Zhou stood on the railings of the yacht deck with both hands, squinted his eyes, looked at the vast sea, and silently opened the system.
At this time, a prompt is displayed on the task system:
[Special mission rewards are being refreshed...]
Yes, he took over the sovereignty of the "formerly Sanyang Sea" in the Lanling Kingdom and successfully obtained the world-class oil field with a reserve of 6 billion tons, completely building the foundation of a financial kingdom for the Lanling Kingdom and completing that special task.
[Special Task]: Build the foundation of a financial kingdom for your country. (Completed)
Now Lanling has a world-class oil field and a super-large oil field. The country's territory has expanded to 100,000 square kilometers and an exclusive economic sea area of 220,000 square kilometers. It can be said to have laid a strong foundation for Lanling's future.
It is only a matter of time to build a financial kingdom on this strong foundation.
However, the system is still the same.
It has been 6 hours since the prompt to complete the task, but it is still refreshing.
Although I was looking forward to the reward, I was a little impatient.
If possible, he really wanted to take out the system and beat it up.
He thought to himself that it seemed that he had time to study it carefully.
"By the way, Sister Yiru, can you negotiate with Chiguo and non-states about those prisoners?
Lingzhou looked at Qinglan Island gradually approaching and asked with a smile.
Two months ago, Lan Ling's Navy captured Chiguo, thousands of prisoners from both sides of the African country, including four high-ranking generals. Now Chiguo, both sides of the African country are negotiating with Lan Ling, trying to redeem the prisoners.
"Yes, Chiguo, and the African countries have not agreed to our conditions."
Chen Yiru said.
“What conditions?”
Lingzhou said curiously.
He didn't pay much attention to this matter, so he didn't know much.
“$10 billion.”
Chen Yiru said with a smile.
Ling Zhou was speechless, his father and the others were really cruel.
Just redeem these prisoners will cost 10 billion US dollars.
Not to mention, the 10 billion US dollars is probably just the price to redeem these prisoners. The seized warships, submarines, fighter jets and other military equipment are probably not included.
If you want to redeem these equipment, it is probably easy to say, two words - add money.
He thought that Chiguo might be furious.
Not only was he defeated, he lost a 300,000 square kilometers of sea area and a military base, but he was also hit by Lan Ling's aircraft carrier fleet. He was extremely frustrated.
Now that I want to redeem the prisoners, I even said that I only have 10 billion US dollars. Why don’t I rob it?
But they were helpless, who made them unable to beat Lan Ling?
If they can beat Lan Ling, they may be showing off their power in Lan Ling's territory at this moment.
Ling Zhou smiled at this.
Although the blackmail is a bit ruthless, this is the only way to deal with some countries or individuals with ambitions.
If you don't hurt them once, they will think you are easy to bully.
Then, Ling Zhou changed the topic and started chatting with Yu Yin.
Soon, their yacht arrived at the pier of Qinglan Island.
Ling Zhou took Chen Yiru, Yu Yin, and a group of bodyguard followers to get off the yacht.
Looking at Qinglan Island with a beautiful environment, Lingzhou smiled.
The construction style of this island is somewhat similar to that of the Chinese style, and it also has the Southeast Asian style. After all, such as Chiguo, Japanese and South Korea, they are all deeply influenced by China.
