Hawkish military industry: I started the national defense lottery chapter 029

Now the top leaders and relevant departments of Rabbit also know the importance of upgrading weapons and equipment!

So they are also raising funds for military expenditures to develop military industry!

Minister Zhou looked at Su Chu and said,”Well, I understand…….But a country has too many places to build, for example, the Three Gorges Dam is about to be built…….This is a huge expense, but as a major project, it is imperative. There is no other way.”

Building the Three Gorges Dam.

This is indeed a world project.

The Three Gorges Dam has many functions, the primary function of which is flood control…….By improving the flood control capacity of the reservoir, the Three Gorges Dam effectively alleviated the flood pressure in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The flood control standard was raised from once in 10 years to once in 100 years, which greatly protected the safety of life and property of the cities and people along the river.

In addition, after the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, it is also one of the largest hydropower stations in the world, with a total installed capacity of 22.5 million kilowatts and an annual power generation of about 100 billion kilowatt-hours, equivalent to the annual power generation of 40 large thermal power plants, which can meet about 1/10 of the national electricity demand.

At the same time, the Three Gorges Dam is also an important support for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which can ensure the water use dispatching of waters in the north and south regions, etc.

But Su Chu is against the construction of the Three Gorges Dam!

Su Chu looked at Zhou Zhengguo and said,”Minister Zhou, to be honest, I personally am more opposed to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam!”

Oppose the construction of the Three Gorges Dam?

Zhou Zhengguo was stunned and said,”Oh? Why do you oppose the construction of the Three Gorges Dam? Is it because the Three Gorges Dam is very expensive and affects the development of military industry?”

Su Chu:”This is just one of the reasons!”

“The Three Gorges Dam is such a huge project that once completed, it is likely to become a thorn in the eyes of Western forces…….Once a war breaks out, if the enemy bombs our Three Gorges Dam, the 40 billion cubic meters of water stored in the dam will instantly destroy the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, causing immeasurable losses.”

“This is like hanging a knife over our heads, which is quite dangerous!”

“Therefore, I think that given the current weakness of our military, building the Three Gorges Dam is a bit like digging our own graves, like putting our arms in the mouth of a tiger. The enemy only needs one move and we will lose everything.”

Zhou Zhengguo nodded and said,”Yes……Your consideration is not unreasonable.”

“However, this major project has passed the expert review and has been approved by superiors and relevant departments. The Three Gorges Dam is inevitable, and we have no way to change the status quo!”

“Is there any other solution if we don’t build the Three Gorges Dam?”

Su Chu smiled and said,”Hey, Minister Zhou, I actually have a more suitable solution! That is to build a dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River…….That is to cut off the flow of the Yarlung Zangbo River and divert it back to the country, so that another 10,000 mu of fertile land can be added, and there will also be sufficient water sources.

The Yarlung Zangbo River originates from the Jiemayangzong Glacier on the northern slope of the middle section of the Himalayas, with an altitude of 5,590 meters. Above Saga, it is called the Maquan River…….There are many moraine lakes in the source area of the river, and most of the lakes are connected with the river. It flows from west to east, turns to the northeast near Pai Town, Milin County, and then changes to flow south, and flows out of the border at Bashika, Medog County.

The main stream flows through 23 counties in four prefecture-level cities, Shigatse, Lhasa, Shannan, and Nyingchi. The basin area is 240,500 square kilometers, and the annual runoff at the outflow is 140 billion cubic meters, ranking third after the Yangtze River and the Pearl River.

The Yarlung Zangbo River source to Lizi in Zhongba County is the upper reaches, 268 kilometers long, with a water level drop of 1,190 meters. Changlizi to Pai Town in Milin County is the middle reaches, 1,293 kilometers long, with a water level drop of 1,520 meters. The town to Bashika in Medog County is the lower reaches, 496 kilometers long, with a water level drop of 2,725 meters.

It can be said that there are many South Asian countries in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River. Cutting off the water flow is tantamount to cutting off the lifeline of the entire South Asian and Southeast Asian countries.

Once the Yarlung Zangbo River is built, it will be equivalent to cutting off the lifeline of the water flow of Southeast Asian countries…….It is exciting to think about intercepting the flow in the dry season and releasing the water in the flood season!

Su Chu’s idea shocked Zhou Zhengguo.

What a guy!

He really dared to think about it!

Building a dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River is simply not letting other countries survive!

In order to effectively protect themselves, they directly wiped out the surrounding countries.

With the peace of God, the Republic will not be harmed!

Su Chu continued:”Once we build a dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River, no one will dare to blow it up…….Because whoever bombs it, the countries in Southeast Asia will be the first to disagree! This solves the security problem and there is no need to worry!”

“In addition, we control the water resources in Southeast Asia. If these small countries disobey us one day, we don’t need to impose sanctions. We can just cut off their water supply!”

“Therefore, building a dam to intercept the Yarlung Zangbo River is the best solution!”
