Chapter 83 Ambition for Territorial Expansion!

Two hours later, the three Tianpeng dredgers, keeping pace with each other, slowly sailed into a light blue sea.

The depth of the sea area here is shallower than the sea area that has been passed before.

Obviously, the sea here is slightly calmer.

In this way, it didn't take long for the scenery in front to change, and a coral reef group appeared on the sea surface.

Seeing this, the three ships received orders at the same time, and all lowered their speed.

At this time, I heard the roar of the three ships at the same time, and various flying cars slowly lifted into the air, and then flew over the coral reefs in front.

On one of the flying cars, Jiang Cheng was also on the list.

Today's action is very important!

Don't miss out!

Therefore, Jiang Cheng must personally come to supervise.

Although it is said that for this day, he has discussed dozens of times with the engineers and technicians who came to the construction this time, and finally determined the final island filling plan among hundreds of plans, but, When this day came, Jiang Cheng was still a little worried.

After all, this kind of thing is no small matter.

Its impact is difficult to judge.

Therefore, in order to fear that the construction will fail due to doubts from the outside world during the construction process in the future, Jiang Cheng and other senior officials of Emerald Island have unanimously decided to incorporate this potential strategic location into their own territory as soon as possible. Inside.

There is no international precedent for such a thing as "reclaiming the sea to build an island". Therefore, no matter what Jiang Cheng does, he can stand in a position where he will not be harshly criticized.

After all, various countries are now seizing islands, and Jiang Cheng just built an artificial island by himself, which is nothing.

However, what Jiang Cheng is more worried about is that after he built an artificial island with a cutter suction dredger, such behavior is bound to cause heated discussions internationally.

The impact it brings is not what he can expect. Maybe, the island-building behavior will be popular in the whole world!

The major countries will definitely use the same method to seize those strategically important places.

However, Jiang Cheng is not too worried about this.

Because the shipbuilding technology of cutter suction dredger is still a "black technology" in the current world, and major countries may not have heard of this shipbuilding technology.

Therefore, as long as Jiang Cheng protects this technology and implements a technical blockade, there will still be a long period of time, and the artificial island technology will be unique to the Emerald Island.

That is to say, during this period, Jiang Cheng can use this island-building technology madly to plunder small islands and reefs around the world and bring them all into his own territory!

This is the way to rapidly expand territory and territorial waters!

Of course, this method can be regarded as a double-edged sword. Although it can greatly expand the territory and territorial sea controlled by Jiang Cheng in a short period of time, it will inevitably attract fierce opposition from major countries!

At that time, Jiang Cheng's pressure will also increase sharply.

Therefore, in order to really expand the territory, Jiang Cheng must be fully prepared. Without the corresponding military strength, he can only bring disaster to himself!

After all, the current Pacific Ocean is still dominated by Yamato and the United States.

Not to mention future expansion plans, but Jiang Cheng must win the island reef in front of him.

It is only a few dozen nautical miles away from Emerald Island, and it is also the closest strategic location to Emerald Island. If this place is taken away by other countries in the future, it means that the strategic depth of Emerald Island will be greatly compressed, which is extremely unfavorable to Emerald Island. future development of the island.

So, even for this, Jiang Cheng tried his best to take it down.

Taking this island reef not only means keeping the strategic depth of Emerald Island, but also means expanding the reach of Emerald Island accordingly.

Although Jiang Cheng did not make an estimate, but after thinking about it, you can see that the territorial waters that Jiang Cheng can control has expanded several times.

It is even possible to draw a straight line between the Emerald Island and this island reef. From now on, the sea area with a radius of dozens of nautical miles centered on this straight line will be controlled by Jiang Cheng!

What a huge territorial sea this must be!

Just thinking of this, Jiang Cheng was so excited that he couldn't sleep for days and nights!

It can be said that winning this unnamed island and reef is definitely the most important strategic event in the development of Emerald Island so far!

The benefits it brings are far from immeasurable!

It is even enough to raise the international status of the Emerald Isle by several levels!

The sea area that can be controlled by a point and the sea area that can be controlled by a line are completely different from the same order of magnitude!

From now on, the strategic position of Emerald Island will be improved geometrically, and any country around the Pacific Ocean will no longer be able to ignore the existence of Emerald Island!

Of course, the premise of all of this is to build this island and reef first, and to be able to deal with the fierce opposition from the international voices!

However, Jiang Cheng still has some confidence in this. The design drawings of the destroyer he gave to the researchers at the Octopus Island No. 1 dock are already in the production and manufacturing stage. I believe that the world will see this epoch-making warship soon. the power!

What kind of battleships and cruisers, such warships that should have been eliminated for a long time, in front of the destroyer's missiles, there is no time to exert their power, and they will sink to the bottom of the sea first.

Of course, Jiang Cheng is not sure whether this island-building incident will trigger military actions by surrounding forces, but he must be prepared.

Because, even if those hostile forces did not dare to actually launch military operations against him, some harassment and provocative actions would definitely come more violently, so he had to fight back in order to curb this beneficial phenomenon.

And these new destroyers are the best means of counterattack.

After going through these thoughts in his mind, Jiang Cheng shook his head and focused his attention on the nameless islands and reefs below.

This time, he brought a large number of scientific researchers, and at the same time brought three Tianpeng cutter suction dredgers that were put into use in advance, in order to complete the island building plan as quickly as possible and try to catch the attention of the outside world. Before their action, build the island and arm it with enough military force to meet the challenges that may arise in the future.

Before they came here, they had conducted sufficient demonstrations and conducted enough tests on the usage of the Tianpeng dredger.

Therefore, when they came here today, they only need to inspect the site and feel that there is no problem, and then they can start the construction plan!
