Why did Tsarist Russia invade our country’s Sakhalin Island? What is the strategic position of Sakhalin Island? How can we regain Sakhalin Island? What are the pros and cons of sending troops to Japan from Sakhalin Island!

The economic value of the Russian-occupied territory in China is huge and immeasurable

Where is the richest and most beautiful place in our great motherland? Most people will answer, Suzhou and Hangzhou. And I would answer categorically: No! It is the outer northeast, the magnificent and vast fertile land surrounded by the Xing'an Mountains, Heilongjiang, the Sea of ??Japan, and the Sea of ??Okhotsk! Speaking of her beauty, we regretfully borrow Chekhov's famous saying: "It is impossible for me to describe a scenery as beautiful as the banks of the Amur River; I can only surrender in front of such a scenery.

Please imagine the Suram Pass on the bank of the Amur River. Look, this is the Amur River. The mountains, cliffs, forests, and thousands of egrets and wild ducks cover the sky, which is breathtaking. " As for her wealth, it cannot be expressed in words except that God has gathered thousands of favors in her. Let’s take an example: Outer Northeast China only accounted for 8% of China’s territory in 1840, but its natural resources may account for 30% of the country’s total.

In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces only extorted one billion taels of silver from China, but the so-called Amur Region, which only accounted for 20% of the territory plundered by Tsarist Russia from China, was worth US$400 billion in underground mineral resources alone! ! Today, China's 9.6 million square kilometers have only 1 million square kilometers of forests. However, the outer northeastern area of ??1 million square kilometers has 700,000 square kilometers of forests, and its forest stock volume actually exceeds that of the entire China! ! Since Russia mined gold in the Far East, the total gold output in the outer Northeast has reached as high as 2,000 tons! ! ! In 1970, China's annual gold production was only 10 tons. In 1995, China's gold production exceeded the 100 tons mark.

This gap in natural wealth may be the best explanation for the gap in national power between China and Russia. In order to let every descendant of the Chinese nation deeply understand and remember this most fertile and beautiful land of the motherland from generation to generation, I specially write this post so that they will never forget it!

For the convenience of description, I have divided the 1 million square kilometers of Northeast China into four regions for introduction. At the same time, many places can only borrow the current Russian place names. Please understand)

1 ) Outer Northeastern South: Coastal Border Area - the last paradise for wild Siberian tigers and wild ginseng

The world-famous wild Siberian tiger has become history in China today, but the wild Siberian tiger is not extinct. It’s just that the only habitat for wild Siberian tigers today is in a foreign country—Russia’s Primorsky Territory. The geographical location of the coastal border area, its unique geological development process, topography and climatic conditions make this land one of the regions richest in energy, mineral, hydraulic and biological resources in the Far East. The border area has always been the raw material supply base for Russia's non-ferrous metallurgy, wood processing, and fish processing.

Biological resources

Primorye covers an area of ??165,000 square kilometers, accounting for less than 1% of Russia, but its honey production accounts for 10% of Russia’s total production, ranking first in Russia. It is 2.5 times the honey production of Volgograd, which ranks second in Russia. Soybean production ranks second and rice production ranks third. Fish and seafood account for 14% of the country, and timber exports account for 2%

Forest resources

The forest coverage rate in the coastal border areas reaches 75%. (In contemporary China, the national forest coverage rate is only 13%. %). The total forest area is 12.3 million hectares, the forest coverage rate is 75%, and the total wood reserves are 1.75 billion cubic meters. (Compared to contemporary China, which province has such a high forest coverage rate and forest quality? You must know that my country's Heilongjiang Province, which has an area three times that of the Binhai Border Area, has a total timber reserve of only 1.5 billion cubic meters. my country's entire country, which has an area 60 times that of the Binhai Border Area The total reserves of wood are only 10 billion cubic meters). The annual timber harvesting limit in the border areas is 10 million cubic meters (the timber harvesting limit in the entire China is approximately 40 million cubic meters), and the actual harvested volume in recent years is 2.5-3 million cubic meters.

The coniferous tree species growing in the border area include cedar, fir, spruce and larch; the soft tree species include birch, aspen and linden; the hard broadleaf tree species include oak, ash, elm and yellow tree. birch. All of the above tree species are used in industry, but the most valuable is certainly the cedar. The Korean cedar, which Binhai people call the "bread tree," can produce 500 to 800 pine cones per adult cedar in a good harvest year, and 100 kilograms or more of pine nuts can be harvested per hectare. For many animals living in the Ussuri primeval forest, pine nuts are the best food: leftover pine nuts eaten by star crows and woodpeckers are picked up by tits, pine branches and hazel grouse; pine nuts are also eaten by purple leopards, black bears, A delicious meal for brown bears, wild boars, squirrels and other animals…. The preciousness of cedar lies in the fact that the plants that grow from it are Acanthopanax senticosus, ginseng (don’t wonder why wild ginseng, the king of traditional Chinese medicine, is in Russia) and wild kiwi.

The Primorsky Region has diverse mineral resources and large reserves, ranking among the most (!!!) richest regions in Russia. Proven origins of bituminous coal and lignite within the territory, as well as tin ore, tungsten ore, fluorite ore and polymetallic ore origins. The share of mining in border regions is almost twice the Russian average.

In Russia's raw material production field, Primorye, which accounts for less than 1% of Russia's area, produces 90% of the country's boron raw materials, 83% of fluorite, 16% of tungsten concentrate, 5.2% of coal, and 2.6% of cement. The tin mining volume of Primorye is Russia occupies third place.

2) Sakhalin Island in the Far East Oil Sea, Kuwait in the Far East, the paradise of sea beasts, the unsinkable aircraft carrier - Sakhalin (Sakhalin)

June 9, 2003 , the British-Japanese joint venture Sakhalin Energy Company announced that it will invest US$10 billion in the second phase of the "Sakhalin-2" oil and gas development project in the Russian Far East. This is Russia’s largest overseas investment to date. This huge amount of money has once again drawn the world's attention to the remote and cold large island in the Russian Far East - Sakhalin. Sakhalin Island is 948 kilometers long from north to south and 6-160 kilometers wide from east to west. The entire island covers an area of ??approximately 76,400 square kilometers (equivalent to the total area of ??all existing islands in China).

Sakhalin is not only the largest island in Russia, but also the only region in the Russian Far East that produces oil and natural gas. The rich oil and natural gas resources of Sakhalin Island and its surrounding continental shelf make it Russia’s largest island. An energy treasure house, known as the "Far East Kuwait", its energy reserves are enough to bring Russia 500 billion US dollars in revenue (!!!), while the population of Sakhalin is only 600,000.

In recent years, dozens of internationally renowned consortiums have launched fierce competition to develop Sakhalin Island, a treasure house of oil and natural gas. American, British and Japanese investors have signed contracts to invest US$30 billion (HK$234 billion) in mining over the next decade. Sakhalin Energy Company is an energy investment company jointly established by British Shell, Japanese Mitsui and Japanese Mitsubishi Corporation. The "Sakhalin-2" project refers to the construction project of the Piliton Astokhsk oil and gas field and the Lusk oil and gas field on the continental shelf of the Sea of ??Okhotsk near Sakhalin Island in Russia. The oil reserves of these two oil and gas fields are 600 million tons (exceeding China's largest Daqing Oilfield), with natural gas reserves of 700 billion cubic meters. The first phase of the project was launched in 1996. The total investment in the second phase of the project is US$10 billion, including the construction of an LNG plant with an annual production capacity of 9.6 million tons in southern Sakhalin and the construction of two new Offshore drilling platforms, laying oil and gas pipelines with a total length of 850 kilometers, etc. After the production areas of Piliton, Astorkhsk, Chavinsk, Arkutun and Daginsk are put into production, the annual oil production volume will reach 17 million tons and the natural gas volume will reach 21 billion cubic meters.

According to the "Sakhalin-1" and "Sakhalin-2" plans, five oil and gas producing areas *** plan to exploit 140 million tons of oil and 7000 billion cubic meters within 40 years natural gas. This project will bring huge benefits to Russia (!! not China). A Japanese consortium has decided to exploit crude oil from the Tsavo mining area off Sakhalin Island in the Far East of Russia and will export most of the production back to Japan to supply needs before 2005. The Chavo mining area, located off the northeastern coast of Sakhalin Island, can produce 250,000 barrels of crude oil per day, equivalent to 6% of Japan's total daily imports. This oil reservoir will help Japan (!! not China) diversify the source of imported oil. and stabilize energy supply. The Russian Far East, a "prison island" where prisoners were imprisoned during the Tsarist period, has now become an area where world powers are vying to invest. Its energy reserves are enough to bring Russia US$500 billion in revenue (!!!)

Not only The prospect of oil and gas development on the offshore continental shelf is promising, and the coal reserves of the Sakhalin coal mine are also very considerable. However, due to the economic crisis, the amount of coal mining has been reduced year by year since the late 1980s. So far, the coal mines have basically only catered to the internal demand of the state. Currently, Sakhalin mines 2.5 million tons of coal every year, but the coal industry has great potential. First, it can rely on increasing open-pit mining to increase production. The Sontsevsk origin is a major reserve for expanding open-pit coal mining. The proven reserves in the southern section of this production area alone amount to 100 million tons. It is planned that the Sontsevsky coal mine can produce 1 million tons of coal per year, and this will be the cheapest (!!) coal in the Far East.

Sakhalin not only has endless underground resources, but also an extremely rich world of flora and fauna. The mammals in northern Sakhalin are typical representatives of forest-dwelling species: sables, ermines, weasels, foxes, otters, brown bears, hares, squirrels, etc. Amphibians that inhabit central Sakhalin include toads and Siberian four-toed salamanders; reptiles include viviparous lizards and Sakhalin vipers; and mammals include arctic rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, wild arctic deer and fragrant deer. All types of mammals are found in Southern Sakhalin. But only here can you catch Hikatan voles that live on Hokkaido Island, and you can also see raccoon dogs and Itatsi weasels. In the past two decades, spotted deer, Ussuri raccoons and Barguzin sables have adapted to the climate and have settled on the island. Domesticated muskrat populations are also common on the island. We have all kinds of precious furs and they are sold all over the world!

3)--The Paradise of the Jews

The Oriental Paradise of the Jews, the beautiful Oudi Valley, the hometown of Su---27

" Beat the Deer with a Stick The ladle scoops out the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot."----The rich and fertile Beidahuang is the last big granary for the Chinese people.

But few Chinese people know that in the north of the Great Northern Wilderness, on the other side of the Heilongjiang River, there is a more beautiful and richer Outer Northern Wilderness; and even fewer Chinese people know that the core area of ??this fertile and thousands of miles of Outer Northern Wilderness has long been It became a dream paradise for Jews 70 years ago. Moses led the Jews out of Egypt in search of a land flowing with milk and honey. However, for thousands of years, the Jews never escaped the fate of displacement. It was not until 1934 that fate brought the Jews to the fertile black land on the banks of Heilongjiang that the Jews became their first Once upon a time, he established his own homeland, the Jewish Autonomous Continent, on the land of the former Chinese people. The Jewish Autonomous Prefecture has a current population of 198,000 (at the beginning of 2001), which is only 4% of the population of the State of Israel, but its area is 36,200 square kilometers, which is 2.6 times the area of ??the State of Israel specified by the United Nations. This is one of the three largest black soil belts in the world. The soil is extremely fertile, and the organic matter content is mostly between 5% and 8%, and in some areas it is as high as 10% or more. There are abundant water resources here, with rivers on the surface, considerable underground reserves, abundant atmospheric precipitation, and a growing period of 174 days. It has the best soil and climate conditions in the Far East, making it extremely suitable for agricultural development. The area of ??the autonomous prefecture is only one-twenty-fifth of the Khabarovsk Territory, but its cultivated land area and total livestock exceed the entire Khabarovsk Territory. It is a large granary for the entire Far East; it has precious mineral resources, coal , iron, copper, manganese, tin, gold, diamonds, and oil are all available. The proven iron ore reserves in the Far East are 4.4 billion tons, 16% of which are in the Jewish Autonomous Prefecture, and the area of ??the autonomous prefecture is only 1% of the Far East; there are also It is extremely rich in wild animal and plant resources. The forest area accounts for 44.3% of the total area. There are 167 million cubic meters of wood available for mining (800 cubic meters per capita, less than 8 cubic meters per capita in China). Among them, precious cedar occupies an area of 170,000 hectares, and the beautiful fir forest covers an area of ??22,300 hectares. Tigers, bears, deer, and deer roam the mountain forests, and there are countless precious mountain treasures such as ginseng, hericium, fungus, and mushrooms. Red-crowned cranes and swans fly freely in the continuous swamp area, and catfish, sturgeon, salmon and white fish roam freely in the crisscrossing rivers and lakes. The grasslands of the Jewish Autonomous Prefecture are vast and boundless. If one walks along the Great Samara River Valley, the green riverbanks are covered with flowers and dense linden forests grow on the riverbanks. There is an apiary every two or three miles and there are flocks of sheep. Like white clouds floating in the green mountains... Compared with the arid, barren and barren Israel, this is truly a land flowing with milk and honey, and the green paradise that the Jews dream of!

The timber reserves of Khabarovsk Territory account for a quarter of the reserves in the Far East and more than 6% of the total timber reserves of Russia. The total area of ??forest coverage in the border areas is 52.5 million hectares (equivalent to half of the whole of China), and the reserves of mature and over-mature timber are 3.14 billion cubic meters (more than the whole of China). The forestry tree species in the border area are diverse, 80% of which are coniferous forests, and 14% are white birch and yellow birch. Precious hard broad-leaved tree species - jujube, ash, oak, maple, etc. - also have industrial logging reserves.

There are more than 120,000 large and small rivers in the Khabarovsk Border Region, with a total annual flow of 45 billion cubic meters. The total length of rivers is 541,000 kilometers, most of which belong to the Amur River system. The number of lakes is also amazing, more than 55,000. Khabarovsk Territory is rich in fish resources. There are more than 100 rivers in the border area that are spawning grounds for salmon and sturgeon. The variety of freshwater fish in the Amur River Basin is amazing. Carp, bream, silver carp, catfish, burbot, redfin, white and black catfish, catfish...the list is endless! Some fish species, such as the special "fat" pike and Chinese perch, only grow in this watershed. In addition, every year Pacific salmon go upstream along the Amur River and other rivers that flow into the Sea of ??Japan and the Sea of ??Okhotsk to spawn in the Taiga mountain streams.

Since there are few people along the coasts of the Sea of ??Japan and the Sea of ??Okhotsk, you can often see "markets" of large and small seabirds and seal colonies. Beluga whales swim in the coastal waters of the Sea of ??Okhotsk in summer. In the Chantal Islands, you can watch the water jets of a giant whale weighing 150 tons (!!!) from the shore.

The coastal waters of the border area are rich in herring, flounder, melon, pollack, plaice, cod, and sea crabs, and are often visited by seals, sea lions, and dolphins. The largest population of Pacific herring in the Far East is found in the North Sea of ??Okhotsk. Fish such as cod and flounder, marine molluscs, and some sea animals and seaweeds have economic fishing value.

Khabarovsk Territory is Russia’s main tin concentrate producing area, and its output accounts for 35% of Russia’s total output. The amount of copper mining in the border area is also considerable. More than 50 different types of copper deposits have been discovered in areas such as Okhotsk, Tugur, Vanino, and Soviet Port.

The main feature of the Khabarovsk border ore origin is the polymetallic nature of the raw ore. In addition to tin, the ore also contains copper, zinc, lead, bismuth, silver, cadmium, gold, indium and other non-ferrous metals and rare metals. The proportion of waste rock in the veins currently being mined is extremely low. The tin extraction rate is 70-90%, and the copper extraction rate is 75%. The Sakhalin Republic and the Khabarovsk Border Region also have manganese needed for steelmaking, and the reserves are huge, reaching 6.4 million tons; other auxiliary raw materials are also available, which provides superior conditions for establishing a strong ferrous metallurgical base. condition.

Khabarovsk Territory is one of the top ten gold-producing regions in Russia. The 350 proven placer gold mines are distributed almost everywhere in the border area. Experts believe that gold mining will play an important role in the economic development of the border region, and the revenue from this industry currently accounts for 6% of the border region's budget. The annual gold production in the Khabarovsk Territory exceeds 8 tons, 72% of which comes from placer gold mining, and the remainder comes from ornithous gold mining.

The Khabarovsk Territory is an important industrial base in the Russian Far East. The famous Su-27 fighter jets and Kilo-class submarines that our country spent a huge amount of US dollars to purchase were produced in the Khabarovsk Territory. The second largest city is Qingcheng on the Amur River. The Khabarovsk Territory also governs the area to be discussed between China and Russia stipulated in the famous Treaty of Nerchinsk - the magnificent and vast Udi River Basin.

This place is so majestic and vast that a Chumican hunting cooperative covers an area of ??96,000 square kilometers, almost the same as Jiangsu Province! On the banks of the fast-flowing Udi River, in the dense and tall spruce forests covering the entire Udi River Basin, the tracks of Oroqen hunters' skis lead to distant places!
