There is such an island in the South China Sea . It took our country 20 years to recover it . It was It is called "the first city of the future" . It is larger than the capital of the Maldives , Male, and contains many available resources. even allows countries to "fight" for it. , it is Mischief Island , also known as Mischief Reef .
Then why is it called the first city in the future? What is it built like now?
In fact, before our country recovered, Mischief Island was just an island reef. At that time, all countries were not very interested in this island. Until later, after a large amount of oil was discovered near Meiji Island, various countries rushed to seize the island. However, Mischief Island has a very big disadvantage. It does not occupy much land. In layman's terms, there is no place to stay.
This makes various countries feel a little reluctant, but it is impossible for everyone to be tempted by oil, but from ancient times to the present, no one can have an idea about this island, because they originally belong to China. This is beyond doubt.
As early as 1935, Meiji Island could be classified as a part of China. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek ordered a scientific survey of the outer sea areas and discovered that It was discovered that there were a large number of archipelagos near the South China Sea, and Meiji Island seemed insignificant at the time, just a small island reef, but Chiang Kai-shek took a fancy to this island at a glance. After Chiang Kai-shek brought a large number of people to Meiji Island, conducted various scientific research and investigations.
When all of them returned, Chiang Kai-shek gave the island a name 南 evil reef. As soon as this name came out, it also meant that the islands in this sea area had become part of China.
But it was the anti-Japanese period at that time, and our country was engaged in a long-term war, so the South Reef was forgotten there. Only after the anti-Japanese war was completely over, our country declared the sovereignty of the South Reef and renamed it Meiji Reef.
In 1945 , our country was able to recover Mischief Reef through the recognition of various countries. The whole process was extremely difficult, but our country had a tough attitude and resolutely took back Mischief Reef under its control.
But when was founded in 1978, the Philippines announced that some islands in the South China Sea would be designated as its own territory, except for Meiji Island. Fortunately, because Meiji Island was small in size at that time, there was no room for to survive and there was no value , so the Philippines excluded Meiji Island.
And it is precisely because Meiji Island is in a state of that no one cares about at this time, which makes our country a little at a loss, because it is located in the eastern part of the South China Sea, and there happens to be a US military naval base nearby. This US military naval base is very close to Meiji Island, which can be said to be within easy reach.
But the US military did not make a fuss about the islands and reefs. After all, they had not found any useful resources at this time..
However, our country took this problem into consideration at the time and could only stand still and wait until the time was right to completely take back Meiji Island.
Not long after, due to various reasons, the Philippines could not stand the behavior of the US military "camping" in the local , and angrily decided to drive the US military out of the Philippines. After that, the area around Meiji Island in the eastern South China Sea became much empty, and some fishermen dared to go fishing there. Our country seized this opportunity and immediately turned Meiji Island into its own territory, and immediately "optimized" and "populated" Meiji Island within a few years.
But after the Philippines learned about this incident, it made multiple malicious declarations to Mischief Reef. They believed that Mischief Reef belonged to their territory, so they started to provoke disputes.
Such behavior completely angered our country's foreign affairs department. Our country quickly ordered to dispatch Chinese fishery administration ships to intercept and detain these so-called reporters. This made the Philippines dare not act rashly again.
But one wave after another, the Philippines has just been stable for three years, and it has begun to have erroneous thoughts on Mischief Reef again. It sent some aerial reconnaissance troops to take multi-faceted photos of Mischief Reef, and used these photos to accuse my country of building military structures on Mischief Reef. But is this really the case?
When our country was building and optimizing Mischief Reef, it only built some basic fishermen's havens and did not build any large weapons or military bases. The purpose was to give local fishermen or the Chinese people who went to Mischief Reef a place to live and avoid unnecessary trouble. If they did encounter one, our country could quickly dispatch Chinese fishery administration ships from the vicinity of Mischief Reef to protect it.
These various behaviors are just my country's protection measures for Mischief Reef, not stationing troops and building military facilities as the Philippines claims. The Philippines can do nothing at this time and can only watch Mischief Reef develop better and better under China's occupation.
Afterwards, our country will still encounter problems of all sizes due to its sovereignty. Only by rapidly developing Mischief Reef can we truly declare our sovereignty. my country immediately began to transform the Mischief Reef. China sent a large number of ships to carry out construction on the Mischief Reef. However, it encountered a very big problem as soon as it started. Mischief Reef occupies a small area and cannot accommodate a large number of people and buildings.
After several years of consideration and planning, our country has finally made up its mind to increase the land area of the Mischief Reef island, and the only way to make such a decision is to reclaim it..
Reclamation on Mischief Reef is almost an impossible project , but for our country, it is able to make all impossible things possible and send a large number of large ships The function of these ships is to carry out sand blowing and reclamation on Mischief Reef. As the name suggests, they blow the sand from the seabed near the reclamation point to the reclamation point to complete the reclamation. The ships used are divided into orderly, with special dredgers, piling ships and sand blowing ships.
The sand blowing and reclamation technology developed in our country is also quite fast. Tianwhale is a very typical example. It is one of the world's largest self-propelled cutter suction dredgers , and the internal complexity can be said to be second to none. It is known as the "island-building artifact". It can work in eight-level wind and waves. It can also absorb sand from the seabed 6 kilometers away and fill the sea. Its endurance is even stronger than other ordinary ships.
This also helped my country greatly improve the efficiency of the Mischief Reef reclamation plan.
In the process, Meiji Reef also became Meiji Village in Sansha City, Hainan Province. The first village chief of Meiji Village at that time was Lin Zailiang. He was originally from Fujian and left his hometown when he was very young. Lin Zailiang entered a key university with his excellent grades. After he graduated, he became a university professor, specializing in teaching knowledge in the fields of aquaculture.
Lin Zailiang At that time, wanted to contribute his own strength to the country. It happened that the Mischief Reef construction project was the most important thing to the country.
However, after all, Meiji Island is very small and can only take some basic measures. If we only talk about fishing, this place is definitely a good location. However, it was almost impossible to develop this place and make useful and reasonable use of our country at that time.
Our country believes that it can only start with the fishing industry. If we want to speed up the development of , we must start from the foundation. Local fishermen immediately started a comprehensive fishing operation. Lin Zailiang led 11 fishermen in Meiji The reef produces and breeds grouper, and soon a large fishery has developed. Lin Zailiang is also known as the "first person to develop Mischief Reef". Such a title puts Lin Zailiang with greater responsibility.
Through Lin Zailiang's continuous efforts, in 2007, Lin Zailiang tried deep-sea farming and transported nearly 60,000 fry of eastern star grouper and tiger grouper to Mischief Reef. However, there will definitely be some uncontrollable force majeure at the seaside. Just after these fry were put into the waters near Mischief Reef, they encountered a typhoon with a level of 16.
As a result, there were not many fry left. Lin Zailiang looked at the calm sea after the typhoon, and his heart was full of chagrin and regret. However, as a Chinese, has a spirit of not giving up.
When he was in 08, he once again transported a batch of fish fry and put them back into the sea of Mischief Reef. Finally, his hard work paid off, and these fry became big fish in the next year. Lin Zailiang not only harvested the big fish he had sown into the sea, but also discovered various rare marine species, which made Lin Zailiang more determined to live in this sea area.
Since then, Mischief Reef has developed more and more rapidly. Not only has Mischief Island Airport been built, but there are also various medical facilities, accommodation places, and some underground libraries and many other useful facilities , Meiji Island instantly became a haven for many fishermen. When building the pier, the construction staff engraved the words "I am deeply concerned about the national responsibility and will fight to the death to cast the sea god needle" on the placard of the pier. Afterwards, Meiji Island is also preparing to expand its development in other industries.
One of the professional fishermen Zhang Donghai was a beneficiary of the development of Meiji Island. When he heard that Meiji Island was under development, he contacted his brothers, relatives and friends and wanted to develop with them on Meiji Island. Finally, Zhang Donghai led a group of fishermen to go
Meiji Island began to use a cage fish farming method to develop fisheries, so it made a lot of money. Some experts have calculated that the annual output value and sales of Meiji Island can be as high as 10 billion or more . This number is incredible when you think about it. After
, when some news talked about "South China Sea Shepherd Fishermen" , they would take Zhang Donghai as an example. Zhang Donghai lived up to expectations. After going to Meiji Island again and again, developed a circular cage that can withstand Category 9 typhoons.
Zhang Donghai immediately invested a large amount of money in this project, up to 20 million . This amount of money is not a small amount for Zhang Donghai, but He is very determined in his heart. After all, Meiji Island is a treasure land of Feng Shui, which will definitely bring the fishery to a higher level. Today, Zhang Donghai’s fishery is doing very well, and many people from other places want to buy the fish farmed by Zhang Donghai.
The development of Meiji Island has benefited many people, but in terms of defense, our country has further reconstructed and optimized the local area, so that Meiji Island can become a protective umbrella for local fishermen.
And after my country developed Meiji Island, it also realized another very big advantage , which is the formation of the "Iron Triangle of the South China Sea" . The other two islands in the iron triangle are Yongshu Island and Subi Island . They just form a very regular triangle, and the other two islands also have their own advantages..
Yongshu Island is also formed by reclamation like Meiji Island, but it is different in time and use. Yongshu Island completed the reclamation plan in 2015.
The island is mainly the area where the navy is stationed. There are also corresponding local governments and hospitals. The area is nearly 108 square kilometers. Why is this place different from other islands? That is its geographical environment and area. The area just mentioned is nearly 6,108 square kilometers, which can accommodate a lot of people building buildings, and the usable area is even more.
The geographical environment is also through a series of inspections by various professionals, and it is found that there are no other islands nearby. Although Meiji Island and Subi Island form a triangle with Yongshu Island, they are still some distance apart. Therefore, Yongshu Island can observe a very large range of the ocean, and it can be used as a command and control center . This is its only major feature .
And Subi Island has a very good airport. The geographical location is very suitable as a marine transfer station. It has formed a good cooperation with Meiji Island and Yongshu Island, and can help Yongshu Island and Mischief Island in terms of transportation.
The origin of the name of Subi Island is even more interesting. Hainanese people speak with a local accent, and local fishermen often catch some horseshoe snails when passing by this island, so this island is called Chouwei. Later, when a British survey ship came here and asked the locals what the name of the island was, the locals told them it was called subi, which is what the local accent calls Chouwei.
and after the British heard it, they translated it into Subi Reef, and this English was translated into Chinese , which means Subi Island .
Having said that, the three islands have their own characteristics. They complement each other and protect the safety of one side of the South my country Sea. Later, with the development of my country's science and technology, these islands also have communication networks, and the villagers on the islands can also access the Internet normally. These capabilities have greatly increased the publicity of Meiji Island and other islands.
However, some countries are still worried about the incident with Meiji Island. They feel that the construction of Meiji Island is not as good as they imagined, but the fact is that they can’t eat grapes and say grapes are sour . Now Meiji Island is about to develop into and the second Maldives . These phenomena prove what it means to return to its original owner before can be used wisely.
China's development will make many extensions in the future, especially in terms of energy. With successful ideas and hard work, my country will surely make the South China Sea a prosperous and powerful country.
