According to the records in the large database of Shenglibao in Sanya, the reserves of Huishan Copper Mine located on Hamgyong Road exceed 40 tons, and the reserves of Maoshan Iron Mine are astonishingly high, ranking first in Asia.In the entire Korean peninsula, these two places are where the copper and iron deposits are most concentrated, and they are also the key targets indicated in the Haihan Mineral Resource Bank.
Although Haihan has already mastered the situation of these two mines, but because of its geographical location close to the northern border and inland mountainous areas, the conditions for large-scale mining are not yet mature, so it has never planned to develop them.It was not until recent years that Haihan’s demand for metal resources such as copper and iron has increased significantly due to industrial development and large-scale infrastructure projects that the Ministry of Industry has put the plan to develop these overseas mineral deposits on the agenda.
However, what the two countries are discussing at present is only the intention of cooperative development, and the mining of these two deposits will not start so soon.The preparatory work in the early stage requires a large amount of capital investment. The proportion of capital contribution and the corresponding conditions of both parties have not been negotiated at all, and more in-depth consultations have to be carried out.
For Haihan, although these two deposits have the advantages of large reserves, shallow veins, and high-grade ore, the geographical environment severely limits their development value, and the difficulty of mining is much higher than that of the Datong River Basin where shipping is convenient.After comprehensive investigation, the payback period required for the initial investment will be relatively long, so Haihan prefers to cooperate with North Korea in the form of technological investment in development.
However, high-level North Korean officials, including Li Yi, also have doubts about this. He is not doubting whether the two mines are really worth the bragging rights of the Haihan people. Hao picked peaches on the way.
Therefore, Li Yan asked Park Hongye to put forward special conditions during the negotiation, requiring that the appointment of mine personnel and the distribution of mineral resources should be decided by the Seoul side and Haihan, and Li Hao should not be allowed to intervene.In other words, Li Hao must be completely excluded before the project starts.
Before the relevant reports were published in the newspaper, the two parties had basically negotiated the terms of cooperation, and Li Yi's special request was also approved by Haihan.If everything goes well, maybe one or two years later, some of the steel production capacity that Haihan forcibly took away this time can be made up by the output of the new mine.
Li Yan actually understands that this is a disguised compensation from Haihan to North Korea, but after careful calculation, North Korea will not benefit much. In the future, a considerable part of the output of these two mines will also be allocated to Haihan. .
Moreover, Haihan specifically specified in the agreement that due to limited objective conditions, it can only provide the two mines with the equipment needed for primary smelting.This means that although the two mines will have supporting smelting capabilities in the future, they will only produce blister copper and pig iron, which need to be transported to the smelter controlled by Haihan for refining before they can be turned into higher-value ones. product.
Such a distribution model is of course very unfair to North Korea, but Li Yi knows that apart from providing Haihan with the resources needed and doing some low-end supporting processing for Haihan, North Korea currently has no other better way to develop its own industry.
But even with such a status, not everyone can enjoy it.As far as Li Xun knew, at least the two old neighbors of the Qing Dynasty and Japan were still almost blank in terms of industrial development, and had fallen far behind North Korea.
Although North Korea's current industrial level is still in its infancy and relies on Haihan's support from technology to management, its military strength has surpassed those of its two neighbors thanks to its rapid increase in steel and shipbuilding production capacity in recent years.Now even if Haihan is not allowed to intervene, Li Yi is confident to deal with the military threats of these two countries alone.
At present, the relationship between North Korea and Japan has tended to be normalized. The maritime trade between the two countries in the Tsushima Strait is in full swing. Busan Port in Gyeongsangdo has also become one of the busiest commercial ports in North Korea.Although North Korea and the Qing Dynasty did not fight so fiercely, there was also a certain scale of land-sea trade on the northern border.
In order to facilitate trade, the two countries also have related business organizations in Seoul.Of course, the stationed personnel are not necessarily here to do business, and both parties are well aware of this.
Li Yan believed that spies from the two countries must be among the crowd who visited the Haihan warship by the Han River two days ago, and those people would not miss the next joint military exercise between Haihan and North Korea.Li Yan also wanted to take this opportunity to let the two countries take a good look at it. At this time, North Korea already possessed military power that they could not reach.
According to the exercise plan agreed upon by the two sides, the fleets of both sides set off from the river bank near Seoul together to the maritime exercise field located outside the mouth of the Han River.
The enthusiasm for the Haihan Fleet to be opened for inspection has not yet faded, so when the two fleets set off from the Han River Wharf, thousands of people flocked to the riverside again to watch this rare and spectacular sight.
The large and small ships of the two fleets lined up on the river for several miles, and the sailors on board stood in line on the side of the ship, very mighty and majestic.Although it was only to perform the exercise mission, it showed the determination to go to the battlefield and fight to the death.
Among these ships, the largest ship is the flagship of this exercise, the first ship of the Glory class, Zhoushan.At this time, the King of Korea, Li Yi, was on the bridge of the Zhoushan, listening to Shi Chengwu and others introduce him to this new warship representing the most advanced combat capability of the Haihan Navy.
This battleship brings together almost all of Haihan's advanced technologies in shipbuilding and shipboard armament, and even its hull shape has undergone subversive changes compared with the previous majestic-class warships. The bridge is a facility that did not exist on previous sailing ships.
Stronger power, higher speed, better seaworthiness, more intense shipboard firepower, almost every feature required as a warship has been greatly upgraded.
"It is difficult for me to express to you exactly how high the combat effectiveness of this warship has reached, but you can simply understand that it is the most powerful naval warship in our country at this stage, and there is no one in this world that can compete with it. A worthy opponent emerges."
Shi Chengwu's description made Li Yan unavoidably jealous. He had no doubt whether this ship was really as powerful as the other party described. He was just wondering how long it would take his country to build a warship of the same level.
But the reality is that North Korea can only build its own warships with a displacement of about [-] tons, and the relevant technologies and some key components are still provided by Haihan.North Korean shipyards can't even build Majestic-class warships, let alone Glorious-class warships with larger hulls and more complex hull structures.
