The invitation letter on Muyang’s desktop comes from CNPC, and more specifically, it comes from the China-Myanmar Oil and Gas Pipeline Construction Ministry.

After four months of accelerated construction, the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline has finally been fully completed.

In fact, the construction of this pipeline was coming to an end long before the civil strife in Myanmar, or the foundation construction had been completed, and the rest were some improvements in testing and debugging, booster sites, etc.

Civil strife broke out in Myanmar, which directly stopped the project, which was about to be completed, with Chinese workers withdrawing them from the country, and the Myanmar people running away.

After the civil strife in Myanmar ended, the first thing Mu Yang did was to promote the restart of the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline project, so that this important project that invested huge amounts of money and related to the national oil and gas strategy would be completed and put into use as soon as possible.

Four months have passed, after the efforts of the two countries and the construction has been stepped up, the pipeline has finally been successfully completed. Two days later, a completion ceremony will be held in Kyaukpyu City, and Muyang and several counselors from the embassy are also invited.

Mu Yang is preparing to attend this completion ceremony. This can be said to be the first successful completion of China's investment project in Myanmar and is of great significance.

Two days later, Muyang brought economic counselor Jing Chunhai to Kyaukpiao City.

Kyaukpyu, a town in the northern end of Langli Island in western Myanmar, on the remote west coast of the Bay of Bengal, is the entrance to the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline.

The completion ceremony is located at the harbor, where several giant ships from the Middle East are moored.

Originally, if these tankers wanted to transport oil and natural gas to China, they had to pass through the Strait of Malacca. Now they don’t have to, they can directly send it from Kyaukpyu to China through oil and gas pipelines, saving time, effort and money, and also freeing China from its high dependence on the Strait of Malacca.

The general manager of PetroChina Pipeline Company stood on the stage and said enthusiastically to the microphone: ""

"The China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline has a total length of 2,520 kilometers, the Myanmar section is 793 kilometers, and the domestic section is 1,727 kilometers. It starts from Kyaukpiao Port, Lanli Island, the western coast of Myanmar. After entering China, it passes through Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and finally arrives in Chongqing."

"After the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline is opened, it can transport 22 million tons of crude oil and 12 billion cubic meters of natural gas to China every year. This figure can account for one-tenth of the national oil imports and one-quarter of the natural gas imports."

"After five years of hard work, including shutdowns and other factors, finally, today, this oil and gas pipeline carrying the expectations of tens of thousands of oil workers and the efforts of thousands of pipeline workers have finally been successfully completed."

The ribbon cutting and balloon flying were very lively, and there were even videos of interviews from Xinhua News Agency reporters.

After the ceremony, everyone relaxed. Mu Yang and Economic Counselor Jing Chunhai and Office Director Ma Xiaobo walked to the railing and looked at the blue sea in the distance.

Mu Yang said to Jing Chunhai: "It seems that Kyaukpyu City is still very backward now, but I believe that as long as you provide certain help, this place will develop rapidly."

"The Kyaukpyu Peninsula is adjacent to the Indian Ocean in the west, and the northwest end of the island to the eastern waterway is an excellent natural wind and wave port. It has a natural water depth of about 24 meters, can navigate, and is anchored at 250,000-300,000-ton ocean-going passenger and cargo ships. If you invest in it, the Kyaukpyu Port can become Myanmar's largest ocean-going deep-water port and surpass Yangon Port."

"Myanmar identified three special economic zones before the civil unrest, and Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone was one of them. However, because it was established at the latest here, there was a civil unrest. The Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone was stopped in the middle and did not proceed. Until now, it is still just a wasteland."

"The Myanmar government has no energy to take into account the Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone, but I think this place will make great achievements in the future. Chunhai, do you see any chance?" Mu Yang said as he looked at the economic counselor Jing Chunhai.

Jing Chunhai's eyes lit up, "Ambassador, you mean that China can cooperate with Myanmar to establish the China-Myanmar Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone."

"Yes, the other two, Yangon Special Economic Zone is jointly built by Japan-Myanmar, and Tuwa Special Economic Zone is jointly built by China-Thailand. Why don't we build a China-Myanmar Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone?" Mu Yang said with a smile.

"Ambassador, your thinking is really broad. I will write a report to the Ministry of Commerce when I go back. Now, thinking about it, this matter is really possible and there is great potential." Jing Chunhai's tone was a little excited. You must know that if China and Myanmar really reach an agreement to cooperate in the construction of the special zone, Jing Chunhai, as an advocate, will definitely be a contribution.

Jing Chunhai ran aside excitedly and went to check the information on his mobile phone. Mu Yang just smiled and shook his head.

The sea breeze blows on the hair, bringing some comfort.

"Xiaobo, look ahead, what did you see?" Mu Yang said with his fingers in front.

"The sea, the seabird." After Ma Xiaobo said that, he looked at Mu Yang. He didn't know what the ambassador asked about this sentence.

Damn, it’s hard to be a secretary around the leader. Just point ahead and ask me to guess what I can guess.

"It's the Indian Ocean, the vast Indian Ocean." Mu Yang sighed softly, "China lacks such a port to the outside world."

"Xiaobo, what do you think if China is here, can have a naval base on the Kyaukpyu Peninsula?"

"ah!!!"

Ma Xiaobo said in surprise, this ambassador is really brave to think about it.

"This is probably unlikely. The Myanmar government will not agree easily. Even if they have this intention, the United States will not agree." Ma Xiaobo said hesitantly.

"Haha, nothing is impossible in this world." Mu Yang said, taking a deep breath, with a fresh sea breeze in the air.

Ma Xiaobo looked at the ambassador beside him and suddenly thought that the ambassador was not serious. But then, he thought about Mu Yang's past, and remembered that this ambassador Mu Yang was able to establish the China-* base in Djibouti during his time as ambassador in Djibouti.

Oh my God, this ambassador doesn't want to copy this matter in Myanmar.

Is it possible?

Myanmar is not Djibouti.

The resistance is much greater.

Of course, if China's naval base can be established in Myanmar, its value will be far greater than that of Djibouti naval base.

Ma Xiaobo is not a novice either. He naturally knows the importance of Myanmar to China and the importance of the Indian Ocean to China. If China really has a military port here and a fleet is stationed there, it is equivalent to directly breaking the so-called first island chain that the United States has worked hard to operate. China's naval ships and strategic submarines can travel directly in the ocean.

This is simply too important to China.

Suddenly, he thought of another thing. He suddenly thought of the three major restart projects he had seen on Muyang's desk. Among them, one of the projects that Muyang attaches most importance to is the Kyaukpiao-Kunming Railway.

Could it be that this ambassador has already made a big strategy?
Chapter completed!
