"I think it is difficult to deal with this matter through private channels." Qin Tairan listened to Duke's introduction and thought for a while and said, "Since this matter was caused by diplomatic channels, we have to go through diplomatic channels to solve it."

"But the trouble with this matter is that Ah San acted as a disgraceful person behind this matter. With them making trouble, even if we take action from a diplomatic perspective, it would probably be difficult to handle it." Qin Tairan shook his head and said, "The relationship between Ah San and the Maldives is special. If it were not for a major relationship, a simple diplomatic protest might not have any effect."

After hearing what Qin Tairan said, Duke was cold. It seemed that he was alone overseas and there was no necessary means of restraint. Many times he couldn't help himself. Could it be that he really wanted to give up this base this time? Thinking that most of the project had been basically built, Duke was really unwilling to give up like this.

"Then do you see if there is any other way to solve this problem?" Duke asked unwillingly.

"It is hard to say other countries, but for the Maldives, there is no way there." Qin Tairan looked at Duke with a reluctance and said leniently. "But the price the country has to pay is a bit high. According to my personal experience, it should not do so for the benefit of a certain enterprise."

Doesn’t this mean that I didn’t say it? Duke’s eyes lit up when he heard that there was a way, but Qin Tairan rejected this way in a blink of an eye, which disappointed Duke.

"Don't worry, Duke, the country cannot do something for individual enterprises, but if this matter has strategic significance, it may not be," Qin Tairan said meaningfully. "Although the Maldives is a small country, its geostrategic significance is extraordinary for our country."

"Look, to the west of Asan, we have Pakistan's naval supply base, and in Myanmar to the east, we also have good and excellent ports to use. If there is one more place in the middle, what do you think Asan and Asan thought? They have always regarded the Indian Ocean as their own territory. If we nail nails here, will they feel uncomfortable?"

What Qin Tairan said, since the navy went to the Gulf of Aden to escort, the three and the others have been worried. Now they are only one or two, and they seem to be weak and not trouble. But how can they enter a whole fleet in the future? If China has obtained enough supply port strongholds in the Indian Ocean, it may not be long before China will usher in China's aircraft carrier formation.

"What does this have to do with my production base?" Duke asked in confusion. The things Qin Tairan said were still a bit far from him. Speaking of which, he was just a nouveau riche who rose like a comet by relying on the power of technology. Because of his rise too fast and lacking deep foundations as a support, there was no clear strategic consideration for many things.

In other words, Duke's business empire is now just built on the sand, and one day it may fall to the ground on a small matter.

And this foundation is either a family consortium with deep potential or a family that has passed down from generation to generation, or a country's power.

Seeing Duke's ignorant look, Qin Tairan couldn't help but shake his head. Such a wealthy person is not necessarily a good thing for Duke.

"I mean, if your production base can be transformed into a real naval supply base if it can be slightly transformed. But this kind of thing is hard to do. On the surface, it is still an ordinary production base, but in essence it can provide necessary supplies to our naval ships, then the country has sufficient strategic interests in it, so there is a reason to take full advantage of it."

"After all, we are a major country with a significant influence. Even if Ah San has a special relationship with the Maldives due to geographical factors, if we offer a bid code appropriately, this special relationship may not be a solid piece of paper. It is important to know that the biggest relationship between countries is the interest relationship."

"In recent years, we have invested tens of millions of dollars in the Maldives, and more than one-fifth of the tourists in the year are from our country. This brings much more real benefits to the Maldives than Ah San. Now with your base, it can be said that the Chinese factor has played a very important role in the Maldives. With this foundation and speaking, our voice will be heard by more Maldives.

Of course, to the outside world, this base is still completely used for civil use. Everything is carried out under the pretext of your company, but if necessary, it can be parked and replenished naval ships here."

Qin Tairan said this, that he wanted to use the game of power among countries as the backing of Duke. Using this power, without national interests, it is indeed difficult to convince people on the diplomatic war.

"But I can't make the decision on this matter. Vice Chairman Liu of the Military Commission has always admired you very much. I hope to meet you when I can meet you. I think I just took this opportunity to chat with Vice Chairman Liu alone. What do you think?" Qin Tairan remembered what Vice Chairman Liu had taught for a long time and took the opportunity to invite him.

Duke didn't expect that this would be so troublesome. He transformed his base in Maldives into a port that could be replenished. That was too far from his original intention. But at this stage, unless he was willing to give up there and completely transform it into a leisure and vacation island, he would have to use the power of the country to fight back and become a secret base at the same time.

Is this really going to be in conflict with Asan? Or should I take a step back and the sky be wide open?

After listening to Qin Tairan's suggestion, Duke was silent for a long time, reconsidered the whole thing from beginning to end. Although his cooperation with the military had a great impact on his production confidentiality on the island, especially the production of equipment in the refining factory. However, considering that this is mainly about producing parts, real assembly can be chosen elsewhere, and the chance of seeing the clues from the parts alone is very small.

After all, that thing is simply incredible to the current level of earth's technology. Judging from the external performance, it is really like a seawater pretreatment, extracting a large amount of seawater one by one for heavy water refining, and sending the remaining seawater into the nuclear power system as a source of steam for power generation. In Duke's design, since the recycling and utilization of water resources is not necessary to consider, it can save a lot of insightful investment costs.

However, it requires the consumption of more water resources, so Duke's nuclear power plant is naturally built to be built by the sea to have abundant water resources for power generation. However, since these water resources are not directly exchanged with nuclear reactors, there is no radiation pollution, and it will not have any impact on the environment after direct discharge.

After thinking about this, Duke could not bear the tone in his heart, so he nodded and agreed to Qin Tairan's proposal.

During the next trip to Beijing, Duke visited the military tycoon who appeared at the forefront of the news broadcast. Vice Chairman Liu was very happy about Duke's arrival and said a lot of encouragement. Of course, the most important thing is that the two people agreed to establish a base in the Maldives. This matter was entirely due to Duke's company's construction of various necessary facilities, and the military will promote the diplomatic department to pave the way.

Of course, the actions of the diplomatic department will be relatively secret, and it requires a series of negotiations and exchanges with the Maldives authorities and finally signing these secret agreements. As for the methods and conditions to achieve this goal, it is not something Duke can understand.

Anyway, Duke knew that in no time, the Maldives authorities would completely lift the ban on Dukrahsf Island.

In Duke's construction army, some new faces also appeared, and some strange things were started to be built on the island. The docks that were anchored were thickened and widened a lot, so that more ships could be parked.
