Spring Breeze 1991

Invincibility is not enough, what Yao Yuan wants is complete victory, and what he wants is to implement the most urgent and important projects before Moscow recovers.

Yao Yuan had thought about Nian Haihong's concerns, but he didn't realize that the real reason why Kazakhstan's parliament opposed the project was gauge.

This reminded Yao Yuan of a 25-kilometer-long railway that had been put on hold for 500 years in the previous life—the Huajiu Railway.

Huaxia, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, of which Uzbekistan is only 50 kilometers away, and the protagonists are Huaxia and Kyrgyzstan.

This railway that allows Chinese goods to enter Europe without going through the Russian railway through the European part of Russia, and allows Chinese goods to be directly transported to the Middle East, has been stuck for 25 years because of the gauge problem.

Gauge is politics is fully reflected on this railway.

The railway that Yao Yuan proposed to the Kazakh government was even bigger, but its political nature was much weaker. Even so, it was still opposed by the Kazakh parliament, which shows the difficulties involved.

After thinking for a long time, Yao Yuan seemed to understand some joints. He frowned and said, "Boss, if Moscow does not interfere, the Kazakh government's acceptance of the standard gauge railway is a matter of price. Do you agree?"

Nian Haihong frowned and thought, "Nazareev is very strong. He is... short of money. If you judge this way, your opinion is reasonable."

What the two agreed was the influence from Moscow. Nian Haihong didn't know the future direction of Russia's political situation. He believed that Moscow would definitely exert influence on Nazarev, but Yao Yuan knew the future direction of Russia's political situation. month window.

The few months leading up to Prudential's influence were those rare polar bear naps...  

Nian Haihong frowned and said, "But it's unrealistic for you to exclude the influence of Moscow."

Sure enough, the old man still brought it up. This is an unavoidable question.

Yao Yuan said, "Before 97, Moscow didn't care about Central Asia."

"What's the basis?" Nian Haihong frowned and asked, obviously not agreeing.

Yao Yuan said, "Russia is fighting a war, and it's not fighting very well. With heavy casualties, the rebels are getting bigger, bigger, stronger and braver. Yeltsin's approval rating has plummeted. He is busy with the general election and can't care about Central Asia."

"The war in Chechnya..." Nian Haihong's eyes suddenly lit up.

The first Chechen war has been fought for more than a year, and it will be over in three or four months.In this war, Russia will withdraw its troops from Chechnya after signing a ceasefire agreement. In fact, it lost the war and the Chechen armed forces maintained their independent status.

This war was the direct cause of Yeltsin's sharp drop in support.

Yao Yuan knew that there was a second Chechen war, but Nian Haihong didn’t know that maybe there were only Yao Yuan and Pu Dadi in the world, because the second Chechen war started after Pu Dadi came to power, and it was Pu Dadi who completely established his foothold and completed the establishment of prestige war.

In the second Chechen war, the Chechen armed forces were completely wiped out, Russia was cleansed of its past shame, and Emperor Pu used his might to rectify the oligarchs, and began his legendary life.

Although Yao Yuan did not elaborate on his own analysis, Nian Haihong still believed in his judgment, because such information could be collected through public reports, and it was not difficult to make a judgment, but the difficulty was how to be accurate to the month.

Yao Yuan has always had such ability, which is why Chunfeng Group has developed rapidly.

Nian Haihong uncommonly lit a cigarette and smoked it, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yao, you are in a hurry to develop the Kashagan Field in order to increase Kazakhstan's oil production to a level that Nazaryev cannot refuse. The level of the standard gauge railway, how do you think about signing the construction of the Huaha Railway during the window period of these months?"

"Yes." Yao Yuan said, "Right now, this is the only way I can get the fastest results. I am very confident in finding a high-yield oil field in the Kashagan area, but I am worried about domestic efficiency..."

Nian Haihong nodded slowly, and said, "I'll talk to your teacher when I go back, and I haven't had a meeting with him for a while, see if I can organize a class reunion and ask you about this."

Yao Yuan smiled excitedly, "Boss, please."

"What am I? The key is your teacher. He is an academician, so he has a lot of face." Nian Haihong waved his hand.

This is modesty.

Although Nian Haihong is not an academician, the group of people who stayed in the Soviet Union with him back then are all bigwigs in the field, and many of them are senior officials of ministries and commissions. Yao Yuan urgently needs these network resources.

After the battle with the conservatives, Yao Yuan deeply realized that it is not conservative to put eggs on Xia Honghua and other cutting-edge reformers. Run this line without hesitation.

Previously, he subconsciously believed that teachers and seniors, who started working in the 60s and [-]s, were already old. Apart from professional knowledge and authority, he could not give much help in politics. Now it seems that he was wrong.

After the war with the conservatives, Yao Yuan's teacher helped out in secret, which Lin Shuting told Yao Yuan later.

It was only then that Yao Yuan realized that the teacher and the others who had stayed in the Soviet Union were usually indifferent, and the world gradually believed that they were on the verge of being eliminated by the times. However, at critical moments, the energy that these old men radiated cannot be ignored.

There must be people working in the railway system in the Liusu faction, there must be railway experts, and there are most likely academicians.

Whether the Huaha railway project can be approved efficiently in China, the opinions of railway experts at the academician level are very, very important!

After winning Nian Haihong's support, Yao Yuan took out three planning drawings and revealed all the three railway lines he envisioned.

In Central Asia, the three railway lines are Line 1, Line 2, and Line 3 from north to south. Among them, Line 1 is the Huaha Railway, which is drawn from Karamay and goes west after passing through Almaty and Bishkek. , all the way to the northern coastal area of ​​the Caspian Sea, which is the railway artery for Kazakhstan's oil and gas transportation.

Line 2 is drawn from Ili Prefecture just mentioned by Yao Yuan. After passing through Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, it goes westward through Iran and Turkey and enters Europe.

Line 3 is an enhanced version of the Huajiu Railway. It also enters Iran after passing through Turkmenistan, and then goes south to the Middle East...

Line 2 is the most ambitious, and Line 3 is not bad. At present, it can only be regarded as a long-term plan. The most realistic line is Line 1, which is also the easiest to realize.

However, the front section of Line 3 (Huajiwu Railway) is only more than 500 kilometers long, but it saves a week for Huaxia’s goods entering Europe and the Middle East. This section of the railway has to be repaired anyway, otherwise We have to wait 25 years!
