() Construction has begun in Xiangyang City since 1918. At that time, the government
Many people in fu wonder why the president wants to build a large city where, and the construction specifications of this new city are very high. Not only does the planning require a scale of 1 million people, but it also requires transportation, water supply and drainage, power supply, communications,
In terms of disaster relief, Liu Fu put forward many requirements, and these requirements
Many of the requirements are based on the standards of later generations. Even the wires are pre-buried. There are no telegraph poles in the city. Moreover, Xiangyang City will also build the first subway in the federation. This subway will
It goes around the city and has two branch lines, diagonally dividing the city into four parts.
However, building a city cannot be completed in one or two years. Now, after two years of basic construction, Xiangyang City’s underground drainage system and subway lines have basically completed the main construction, and the city’s power supply is now under construction.
system and highway transportation system, while the buildings on the ground have basically not been constructed yet, but the planning drawings are basically complete.
The future capital of the federation is located in the south-central part of Kalimantan. It is a very gentle platform area extending southward from the island's mountains. The geology here is relatively solid, suitable for the construction of underground buildings and high-rise buildings on the ground, and there is a river.
Passing from the edge of the city, you can reach Balikpapan, an important port city 80 kilometers away.
Although Kalimantan has a tropical rainforest climate, due to the relatively high altitude of Xiangyang City, reaching 800 meters, the year-round climate is quite suitable. The temperature is around 25 degrees and there is not much rain. It is more suitable for large-scale urban populations.
of residence.
After introducing his reasons and specific goals for moving the capital to the main leaders of the government department, Liu Fu gave the dozens of senior federal officials present a chance to discuss the capital move in the next few days.
Plan, if more appropriate reasons can be provided, then this capital relocation plan can be modified, suspended or even abolished.
A few days later, the plan to move the capital was officially included in the government work plan. The federal government also began to adjust various previous development plans, freezing most of the funds to be invested in various parts of Taiwan, and suspending approval of unbuilt projects.
, and began to increase government investment on the island of Kalimantan, re-planning the port and city construction on the island, and the development focus of the federal government gradually began to shift southward.
In the capital relocation plan proposed by Liu Fu, the issue of whether to stay or leave the nearly 8 million residents on the island of Taiwan was specifically mentioned. Among these 8 million residents, foreign immigrants accounted for about 1.5 million. Most of these people are engaged in various research projects.
For personnel, technicians and their families, their stay or leave is not a problem, because they have to decide whether to stay or leave according to their own research institute or factory.
Liu Fu plans to take away at least half of the remaining 6 million permanent residents. Due to Taiwan's border location, it is not suitable for the development of too many basic industries and large enterprises, nor is it suitable for housing too many people.
As for the industries owned by the government, such as several naval shipyards, steel mills, machinery manufacturing plants and research institutes, they will all be coordinated and arranged by the government. From now on, they will be relocated to suitable places in batches.
Eventually, only one naval shipyard will be left on the island of Taiwan, and the shipyard equipment in Keelung and Hualien will also be moved to General Santos City in Mindanao and Balikpapan on the island of Kalimantan.
Regarding this plan to move the capital, the federal government did not intend to hide it from the people. Instead, a few days after passing the proposal, the government spokesman held a press conference in the federal government building to disclose the plan to move the capital.
The decision was made, but the reason was only that it was to strengthen investment and development in the central and southern parts of the federation and to implement the purpose of equality among all ethnic groups in the federation.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the Federation. All walks of life were discussing the plan to move the capital. Although the final time and details of the capital relocation have not yet been released, various speculations and opinions began to spread among some private companies.
It was revealed in the newspaper.
Among these opinions, they can be roughly divided into three groups: the opposition group, which is mainly composed of Taiwanese locals, the support group, which is mainly composed of intellectuals and government officials, and the argumentation group, which is mainly composed of other provinces outside Taiwan. The ultimate goal of moving the capital is
On the island of Kalimantan, there are basically no opinions, because the area is still in the stage of large-scale development, there is not even a local newspaper, the local population is small, and the literacy rate is not high. Even if you want to express your opinions, there is no place to do so.
.
The main argument of the opposition is that the Federation has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in construction on the island of Taiwan for decades. If the capital is moved, the Federation will suffer great losses, and the investment of many businessmen will be discounted. It is not conducive for the capital to be located on the island.
When it comes to the border area, the opposition dismisses it. They use the example of fighting against the Japanese invasion to illustrate that the federal navy is enough to surround Taiwan's offshore waters and keep the enemy at bay.
Needless to say, the arguments of the supporters are basically Liu Fu’s views.
The arguments of the argumentative school are more complicated. The matter of moving the capital basically does not have much impact on other provinces, so their arguments are more neutral and colorful. Some of them are more in favor of the federal government.
Fu's plan to move the capital believed that a country's capital was not suitable to be built near the country's border; some immediately came out to oppose it and gave examples of Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, who guarded the country's gates and established the capital Yanjing; some believed that the capital should be moved to Yanjing. Kalimantan is worse than going to Saigon
Or Manila, wherever there is a ready-made city, it can be built with a little renovation without spending financial and material resources to build a new city. Some people have also proposed that if the capital is moved, what should be done with Taiwan's millions of people? Should all of them be moved or part of them?
Where to move to etc.
In addition to the citizens of the Federation making their voices heard through various channels, the embassies and consulates of various countries in the Federation have also raised inquiries about the capital relocation issue. Since the South China Sea Federation is now unique in Southeast Asia and belongs to a regional power, the governments of various countries are concerned about the relocation of the capital.
This newly rising Asian country is very concerned about it. The ambassadors of Britain, the United States, France and other countries have asked the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the specific details of moving the capital. Germany, Russia and other countries are too busy to take care of themselves that they can't care about whether others will move the capital. The Dutch government
fu protested, strongly opposed to the South China Sea Federation moving its capital to the occupied colonial territory of the Netherlands, and requested that the "League of Nations" just established after the war impose sanctions on the South China Sea Federation.
The League of Nations, referred to as the League of Nations, was an international organization established after World War I. It was initially controlled by Britain, France, and the United States, with the purpose of establishing an international league organization to counter the Communist International. When this organization was first established, it organized all those neutralized in World War I.
Countries declared war by the Allies and newly formed countries were listed as founding countries, a total of 44 countries.
However, after U.S. President Wilson failed in the leadership competition with Britain and France, the U.S. Senate rejected the U.S. proposal to join the League of Nations, so in the end the U.S. did not join the League of Nations. However, President Wilson took the lead in drafting the "Covenant of the League of Nations."
He contributed to the establishment of the League of Nations and won the Nobel Prize.
The Covenant of the League of Nations clearly states that the purpose of the League of Nations is to reduce the number of weapons in various countries, quell international disputes, and maintain the living standards of the people of various countries.
For the recently established League of Nations, the Dutch government
fu's request for the South China Sea Federation to withdraw from the Dutch East Indies is obviously a more difficult issue. Although the League of Nations has dozens of member states, it is still a bit powerless to reach out to Asia to interfere with the interests of the South China Sea Federation. However, if it has just been established, it will be ignored.
The demands of the Netherlands, a member of the League of Nations, show that the League of Nations is too incompetent, and the South China Sea Federation has indeed developed a bit fast in recent years, and has threatened British interests in Asia, not to mention the French Indochina colony, which was directly robbed
Gone.
After several meetings, Britain and France could not come up with any good way to restrain the South China Sea Federation. Therefore, seeking help from the United States became the only option for the League of Nations.
Although U.S. President Wilson worked hard for a long time at the beginning of the League of Nations, but got nothing, and the U.S. Congress also rejected the proposal for the United States to join the League of Nations, the political power of the United States and Europe still broke the bones and the tendons.
There are many overlaps in ideologies and interest demands between the two countries, so after receiving the League of Nations' request for help, the U.S. government quickly agreed to the League of Nations' request and suggested that the League of Nations and the United States jointly establish a special committee to investigate the Netherlands.
Territorial disputes with the South China Sea Federation.
