Chapter 236: Indonesian Treasure House

Duan Qirui actually didn't know it completely, but he vaguely saw some problems from the legislative process of the Nanyang Republic and the phenomenon of Hongxi City.

That is, the South China Republic is very targeting Indonesian natives. Maybe Xia Jun wanted to create this South China Republic because of these natives, but Duan Qirui was not very sure of his guess.

However, Duan Qirui's answer made Li Yuanhong so angry that he glared at him. Suddenly, Li Yuanhong laughed and asked Duan Qirui: "Do you know his intention to establish the Republic of Nanyang to let you come?"

Duan Qirui remained silent after hearing this, and Li Yuanhong smiled and said, "I think the foundation that your old man left for you is almost gone. This trick is really good at digging the tiger away from the mountain."

"Haha" Duan Qirui suddenly laughed and said to Li Yuanhong: "You and I are just his puppets. As for the old man's foundation, I can't defend it, so why bother to force it?"

"You can see it easily." Li Yuanhong smiled and was very proud. Duan Qirui also smiled, as if he was very open-minded.

Then the two returned to their previous state again, and no one spoke.

After a few days, the lively atmosphere in Hongxi City gradually dissipated, and Chinese people from all over the country also began to return, and the East China Army had completed the takeover of Indonesia.

Currently, the administrative scope of the Nanyang Republic is only Java Island, while other islands are managed by the East China government using the Dutch system, that is, maintaining the old state.

In Hangzhou, Xia Jun was preparing to immigrate to Indonesia on a large scale.

To occupy a stable place, we must first dominate the number of residents.

The way to immigrate to Indonesia is very simple. Just go to Indonesia to develop the economy, which is a resource-rich region.

Located in the southeast of Asia, it spans the equator, between 10 degrees north latitude and 10 degrees south latitude, and its territory above 70 is located in the southern hemisphere, so it is the only country in the southern hemisphere. Its east-west length is more than 5,500 kilometers, making it the Asian country with the widest territory except China. The typical tropical rainforest climate has an annual average temperature of 25-27c, and there is no four seasons. The north is affected by the northern hemisphere monsoon, with abundant precipitation in July, August, and March, while the south is affected by the southern hemisphere monsoon, and abundant precipitation in December, January and February.

Indonesia is composed of 17,508 large and small islands between the Pacific and the Indian Ocean, of which about 6,000 are inhabited. There are more than 400 volcanoes, including 77 active volcanoes. There are two major seismic zones in the world: the Pacific Rim Seismic Zone and the Mediterranean-Himalayan Seismic Zone. Indonesia is located in the Pacific Rim Seismic Zone and is a country with multiple earthquakes. The coastline is 35,000 kilometers long.

Geographically, Indonesia is located in a tropical region, so it has a lot of resources. Rice can even be planted in four seasons, of course, usually three seasons.

It is a country rich in natural resources and is known as the "tropical treasure island". Among them, mineral resources, biological resources, agricultural resources and tourism resources are quite rich, providing favorable conditions for the sustainable development of the economy.

Indonesia's reserves of oil, natural gas and tin occupy an important position in the world. Oil reserves are about 120 billion barrels, mainly distributed in Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Zeeland and Irian Chaya. Indonesia also has huge natural gas reserves, about 123,589 trillion cubic meters (equivalent to 20.6 billion barrels of oil), of which 242,300 trillion cubic meters have been proven, mainly produced in Arun, Sumatra and Badak, East Kalimantan. The reserves of tin are 800,000 tons, mainly distributed in the state.

Kah Belitung, Xinge Island in the Linga Island and other places. The proven coal reserves are 38.8 billion tons, mainly distributed in Kalimantan, Sumatra and Sulawesi. Most of the coal mines are open-pit mines, with good mining conditions and good coal quality. Each kilogram of calories is 4,000-7,000 kcal, with low sulfur content, but slightly high moisture content. The sickle reserves are about 5.6 million tons, ranking among the world's leading. Diamond reserves are about 1.5 million carats, ranking among the forefront in Asia. In addition, uranium, towns, copper, ming, aluminum silo, and Zhong are also very rich.

Indonesia is one of the countries with the richest biological resources in the world. According to incomplete statistics, Indonesia has about 40,000 plants, of which the most medicinal plants are richest.

Grain crops are the basic sector of Indonesia's planting industry. Rice is the staple grain. Mixed grains include corn, cassava, beans, etc. Indonesia is the largest producer of beans in Southeast Asia, but the yield is low. Indonesia is the second largest producer of tropical crops in the world with a planting area after Brazil. Most cash crops are planted in plantations. Not only are there many varieties, but some crop yields are also among the best in the world. Indonesia's pepper, cinchona frost, kapok and vine rank first in the world. Natural rubber and coconut yields rank second in the world. Palm oil, coffee, spices, etc. Indonesia is a fruit kingdom, rich in bananas, mangoes, pineapple, papaya, durian, mango, etc.

The forest area in Indonesia is 120 million hectares, including 112 million hectares of permanent forest areas and 8.1 million hectares of convertible forest areas. The forest coverage rate in Indonesia is 67.8. Indonesia is rich in various tropical and precious tree species, such as ironwood, sandalwood, ebony and sleeve wood, which are well-known all over the world.

Indonesia has vast waters and a tropical climate suitable for the growth of various fish species. Indonesia has extremely rich fishery resources. Bagancia, on the east coast of Sumatra, is a world-famous large fishery. The fishable varieties include tuna, carp, squid, shellfish and other fish, as well as shrimp, seaweed, etc.

Indonesia has more than 120 active volcanoes, making it one of the most volcanic countries in the world. Indonesia has abundant geothermal resources, but volcanic eruptions have also caused frequent earthquakes.

There are many economic projects that can be developed, and in terms of industry and mining, many important minerals can be mined, such as aluminum, nickel ore and copper ore.

Indonesia's bauxite resource reserves are 1.9 billion tons, and the proven reserves are 24 million tons, mainly distributed in Bangka Island and Belitung Island, West Kalimantan Province and Riau Province.

Indonesia's nickel ore reserves have about 1.3 billion tons and proven reserves of 600 million tons, mainly distributed in the Malugu Islands, South Sulawesi Province, East Kalimantan Province and Papua Island.

Indonesian copper mines are mainly distributed in the Grassberg, inter-medrezone and bigg areas of Papua Island, and Colundalo Province of North Sulawesi. The resource reserves are about 66 million tons and the proven reserves are 41 million tons.

These resource distributions were registered by East China Group, but the Dutch policy was not suitable for development before. Now it has become its own territory, so it naturally needs to be developed.

There are many high-quality coal mines in Indonesia, which are also found in China, and are mainly concentrated in the northwest region, but the ecological environment there is weak.

There are really not many places like Indonesia where there are a large number of high-quality coal mines and are easy to mine.

Indonesia has such rich resources, but the Dutch have developed Indonesia very low, and these resources have basically not been used much, it is simply a treasure house.

Now the domestic agricultural production methods have undergone drastic changes, and the rural natural economy has suffered a huge impact. In such severe social changes, the population has begun to shift to industry. Now we are not afraid of many jobs, because many people in China are still half-agricultural and half-employed, and their income is not high.

Workers from areas with low economic development will be transferred to Indonesia. Once they go to Indonesia, they can become Indonesian nationality, enjoy the same civic benefits as in the country, and have some privileges to indigenous people.

Although mining is not an easy job, compared with those backward countries and even those great powers, China's mining technology is definitely the most mechanized. Most of them adopt the method of open-pit mining, that is, digging down continuously and digging out a huge pit. Mining is directly made of large excavators, and one shovel down can be hundreds of cubic cubic pieces of soil, and then transported away by car.

As for indigenous workers, work is even free of charge. East China Group will not recruit indigenous workers.

Bauxite should be mined and reserved, because during the war period, aluminum alloys should be used to build aircraft, and more reserves would have more potential for war.

Nickel is used to make stainless steel, which is related to economic and military affairs, and has a wide range of applications. It is also necessary to dig more to store it.

As for copper ore, it is a mineral that China lacks, and it has a wide range of applications, so it needs to increase reserves.

Since we need to reserve and to provide domestic enterprises with cheaper raw materials, Xia Jun exchanged 200 million points of mining machinery.

Now East China Group has been able to manufacture some small engineering cars, but the technology of large engineering cars is still not mastered.

For mining equipment like these, excavators are large excavators with hundreds of cubic meters. This is the efficiency, and East China Group naturally cannot build them now.

Therefore, Xia Jun can only rely on redemption, and he spent a lot of points in these aspects.

In terms of agriculture, the Nanyang Republic mainly develops tropical cash crops. In the past, China has always lacked tropical cash crop planting sites.

Now that Indonesia has become its own territory, it is naturally necessary to vigorously develop tropical cash crops.

However, when it comes to planting these tropical cash crops, all Chinese people have to use their employment. Indigenous people are not within the scope of employment. If the Chinese plantations in Indonesia mainly want to plant these cash crops, they must abide by this regulation.

The types of cash crops provided by Xia Jun have huge profits, so even if you hire Chinese workers with higher costs, you will not let planters lose money.

Fisheries must also develop, but they also need to be like domestic fishing methods, which cannot be overfished. There must be at least half a year of fishing moratorium every year, and some large trawlers are prohibited.

In terms of fishery resources, which are not easy to recover, sustainable development is an idea that must be adhered to.

Although the ocean fishing is profitable in this era, the kingly way is to catch offshore. Although the ocean is large, many places are marine deserts and there are no fish.

Forest resources can also be developed, mainly planting fast-growing wood, but the East China government has regulations that fast-growing wood cannot be planted separately.

Fast-growing wood consumes water and fertility. At first, Xia Jun didn't understand, so he planted a large area in Fujian, which resulted in barren land. Especially the fast-growing fir trees that Xia Jun made at the beginning were even more water-consuming and fertile-consuming.

If the entire mountain is planted with such fast-growing fir trees, the mountain will become very barren in a few years, and the underground water resources will be consumed in large quantities.

However, it is not because of water consumption and fertilizer consumption, so the economic benefits of fast-growing wood are indeed very high.

Therefore, the East China government legislation stipulates that fast-growing tree species must be mixed with other tree species, and that each acre cannot exceed a certain number.

In areas like Indonesia with a lot of precipitation, it is okay to plant fast-growing wood.
