Yes, Wen Desi wanted French New Caledonia not only for the strategic security situation, but also for the resources here.
In 1865, the Frenchman Garnier discovered nickel silicate ore for the first time in New Caledonia.
He later changed the mineral to nickel silicate, which was the first ore in the world to use a blast furnace to smelt nickel.
Later, the French began to mine the mine in 1875.
Due to the lack of local fuel, flux and labor, the amount of ore mined here is currently very small, which is far less than that of later generations.
It can only be sent to France for smelting, or directly exported to foreign countries.
China is currently the biggest seller.
Although the French have already been mining here, they didn't know at this time that the nickel ore reserves here are as high as 20 million tons, ranking second in the world after Australia, accounting for about 25% of the world's reserves.
In the later generations of the original time and space, this was the largest iron-nickel production area in the world, capable of producing more than 30,000 tons of nickel every year.
In addition to nickel ore, there are also abundant gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, chromium, iron ore and other mineral deposits.
The metal nickel is a very important raw material, and China is very short of nickel.
Just for these 20 million tons of nickel, Wen Desi has to start.
If we are targeted by Wen Desi, a resource maniac, we can still have something good.
"I remember Linden was in New Caledonia," Wen Desi smiled.
"Yes, Mr.
Wen, Lindentu's Huasheng Mining Company is the largest local mining company.
Currently, there are about 4,450 Chinese miners in New Caledonia."
Deputy Prime Minister Ban Chuanzhi replied.
General Liu Yiqiang immediately understood what Wen Desi meant, and he took advantage of the situation and introduced: "After the outbreak of World War II, France significantly reduced its overseas military strength.
Except for Africa, most of the troops from other colonies were transferred back.
The French did Man.
Currently, the French army in New Caledonia only has one battalion of 500 troops, and a There are about three battalions of local colonial militias, about 1,600 people, and very little heavy equipment.
There are only a few 105 and 75 guns.
The Air Force has 12 combat aircraft, and the Navy also has five or six torpedo boats and patrol boats. , the only thing that needs attention is the Fortress of Noumea, they have deployed six 380mm heavy guns on this fortress."
He paused, and then added: "However, there are now 18,000 more Australian and New Zealand officers and soldiers on the island.
Although most of their weapons have been left behind, the Americans have replenished them with a batch of the latest equipment.
This group of people They are all veterans of the North African battlefield, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated."
"Okay, then let Lin Dengtu move and cause something to happen."
Wen Desi said to the chief spy leader Huo Jinsi.
Huo Jinsi smiled and said: "Yes, Mr.
Wen, there just happen to be 18,000 Australian and New Zealand defeated soldiers on the island.
I guess they will cause trouble themselves."
Wen Desi then said to the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Wang Tiechui: "Tiechui, you prepare two marine brigades.
When the time comes when the Lindentu side moves, take it down for me.
Rossi, your army also sends a mechanized rifleman." division."
"Yes, Mr.
Wen."
The two marshals agreed quickly.
Next, everyone rushed to finalize the formation to attack French New Caledonia.
Then it was handed over to the group at the General Staff to formulate a specific plan.

In fact, this job is not difficult for the staff of the General Staff.
This group of people are professionals in using their imaginations.
They have made countless plans and plans.
Not to mention attacking targets on earth, they even have plans for fighting on alien planets.
Of course, some of these plans are too imaginative.
It will never be used in a lifetime, and will always be left in the archives to gather dust.
Naturally, there is also a plan to attack French New Caledonia, which was formulated many years ago.
Now it's just a matter of taking it out and modifying it according to the current background and actual situation.
In less than a week, the plan codenamed "Iron-Nickel Storm" was released.
Although nickel ore is important, China can obtain it through trade.
In recent years, China has been the largest importer of nickel ore here.
Moreover, China thought their development was too slow and inefficient, so they sent their own people to open a Huasheng Mining Company to specialize in mining and mineral processing.
Moreover, China has many sources of nickel ore.
Although the quantity in New Caledonia is quite large, because France has not developed enough here, the output is far from being comparable to that of later generations.
Therefore, it only accounts for 50% of China's total nickel ore imports.
One tenth.
Belarus, Canada, the United States, Brazil and Cuba are all important sources of nickel ore for China.
If it were in normal times, or a few months ago, Wen Desi would definitely not have cheated the French so blatantly, because the French big cock had already suffered a lot of blood in the first battle and his strength was greatly damaged, so he still expected to With a big cock, he can stir up hatred in Europe and contain Er Dezi.
The European continent cannot rely on the United Kingdom alone to withstand the enhanced version of Erdezi.
France's big cock is the mainstay of Europe.
France is different from the UK.
The British eat too much and they can't digest it at all.
How can we wait until we kill cows and eat meat during this rare period?
But the French big rooster has already eaten almost all the meat it can chew.
It's too late to add blood to France at this time.
How can you bleed them a New Caledonia and it's not worth falling out with them?
But now the situation is different.
The Americans have officially joined the war.
Once they wade into the muddy waters of World War II, the balance of strength between the two warring parties will change drastically.
Atlantic Treaty Organization, Allied Powers vs Allied Powers, Third International.
This has to be fought.
Although in general, the Third International, the Allied organization, is weaker, don't forget the super nanny, the People's Revolutionary Union.
As long as it gives the Soviet and German camps a mouthful of milk from time to time, the Western forces led by Britain and the United States will not have the upper hand.
Therefore, at this time, China must bleed blood for the British and American camps, so as to balance the strength of both sides and allow them to play more happily.
This is also the code of action that Wen Desi had conceived early on.
Whichever side is too strong, bleed it, or give the weak one a sip of milk.
This is one of the main factors why Wen Desi chose this time to launch an attack on Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia.
In addition to seizing the opportunity to occupy more territory and resources and strengthening China's strategic security posture, the most important purpose is to bleed the British and American camps.
The General Staff calls this strategy a "blood-sucking strategy," which means sucking the blood of the West to weaken the West while supplementing itself.
Now Wen Desi is further planning an attack on New Caledonia, which is naturally a further development of this strategy.
Wen Desi said: "A good opportunity like this is very rare and almost impossible to come back again, so we must not let it go.
In the second half of this year, we must end the war in Australia and New Zealand and effectively control this area. in hand.
Lay the foundation for our next strategy.”
"Yes, Mr.
Wen is right.

This world war is the last opportunity for the earth to expand its territory on a large scale.
If you miss this time, you will have no choice but to expand to outer planets in the future.
Why not make a big profit?
Worthy of the motherland and people," Zhang Lizheng said with a smile.
"Hahahaha" everyone laughed.
Yes, there won't be many opportunities for such big profits in the future, or even none at all.
If I don’t have a big meal this time, why would I be so worthy of this time travel?
"All departments must be prepared according to our plan to digest the results of this Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia feast as soon as possible and prepare for the next expansion."
Wen Desi finally issued an order to all departments.
Before the Nanyang War began, China, which had seized all of Somalia and two-fifths of Kenya, had a total territorial area of 3,027.78 million square kilometers.
The strategic goal of "expanding 30 million territories" formulated by Wen Desi after crossing the border has actually been achieved. , but he was not satisfied.
Why?
It's very simple, because among the "30 million square kilometers", almost 6 million square kilometers of land belong to the Siberian tundra, and about 2 million square kilometers of land are directly in the Arctic Circle at 66°34 north latitude.
To the north, the land utilization rate in this place is really low.
You are right that the Arctic is rich in resources.
That is true, but the resources must be opened up to be useful.
The development of this kind of alpine area is too difficult, and the money spent is a bottomless pit.
Even if Mr.
Wen is not short of money, he will not spend it like this.
The most important thing is that this kind of area is not suitable for human production and life.
People who live in the Northeast probably know this best.
They can only work outdoors for just over half a year.
Not to mention Siberia, which has a higher latitude.
It would be nice to be able to work outdoors for half a year.
Not to mention the impact of cold weather on life, humans are temperate creatures after all.
Just look at the declining population of Russia in Siberia in later generations, and you will know that only a few people are willing to go here and take root.
Therefore, although New China under the leadership of Wen Desi has formulated a large number of preferential policies for northern immigrants, until now, the number of people willing to immigrate to the Anbei and Andong regions is far less than that of other regions.
However, immigration should not be too forced, otherwise it will destabilize public sentiment, which will not be of any benefit to the country and will not allow these people to take root.
In this case, the territory is still unstable and cannot be "from ancient times", which is contrary to Wen Desi's ideas.
Therefore, it is better to voluntarily immigrate.
Therefore, the development of Central Siberia, Eastern Siberia, and Outer Northeast in the Anbei and Andong regions is a long-term strategy that will not yield results or benefits in the short term.
In recent decades, there has been basically a lot of investment, but the output is far from being comparable to the expenditure.
In other words, these two regions are basically trading at a loss. 515 is coming soon, and I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list.
On May 15th, the red envelope rain will be given back to readers and promotional works.
One piece is also love, I will definitely update it carefully:
