Intercontinental Express

When Aladdin's Golden Cave
was rushed to us by this railroad

The construction of the transit railway along the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan route should be treated as one of the most outstanding projects of our region and even of the entire continent.
The faster we implement it, the faster we become richer, the more influential and stronger we become on the world stage and the fewer reasons there will be for conflicts and discord within our region in each country and family.

Conflicts, discord and squabbles are the result of hopelessness, poverty and destitution in the country as a whole and in each individual family.

I remember how in the early 90s of the last century, an incident with one of my distant relatives, after a family quarrel that broke out over a trifle, was ready to spill over into an uncontrollable conflict. Something was not shared between the younger brothers and their wives. Suddenly in such gloomy situation the old brother changed the subject and began to persuade his family, brothers and their wives to chip in and buy a used Kamaz, which one villager unexpectedly wanted to sell.

 “This is a real treasure, a hoard”, he said, “a blessing that comes once in a lifetime and that which cannot be missed by all means. Instead of spending the money on today’s celebration in which we slaughter a couple of mares and dozens of sheep for us to eat them up, it would be much better if we were to buy this Kamaz. Each cargo transportation trip into Kazakhstan or Russia would allow us to earn money for such celebrations and festivals. If we miss such an opportunity, then the season of holidays and celebrations will soon come to an end and we will return to our squabbles and discord. We will never be able to get out of them, destroying and eating up each other in that madness”.

Fortunately, he managed to convince his relatives and mentioned that the Kamaz was bought at a bargain price and after some small repairs start to use it. And it was a pivotal day for this family which brought stability and prosperity!
Today, 30 years later, this family has become the richest and most successful in the area, already owning a whole fleet of trucks and cars that sustain various kinds of prosperous businesses.

So this transcontinental railway from China to Europe, which closes on the territory of our highland country, represents exactly a golden opportunity for the entire country and region, in which 70 million people live. A unique chance that comes one day in hundreds or even thousands of years.

Our ancestors were very competent in geopolitics. The control of these ancient caravan routes allowed them to build great empires. The Kushan, Karluk, Davan, Karakhanid and the Tang empires, as well as the ascension of Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Babur and Kubat-biy (already in the 18th century); all of them owe their material support, wealth and military power to the control of this most important strategic section of the Silk Road.

This route will bring enormous benefits and wealth to the whole of Kyrgyzstan and the region. Each family will become richer and bigger. Unprecedented opportunities for businesses will simply open up, so that there will be much less reason for internal discord and disputes, both between countries and in each family between its members.

That is why it is so important to build this road as soon as possible and put it into operation. The time factor is extremely important.
A lot of it depends on how long it will take to implement this project: 1 year, 10 years or even 30 years. Any delay, prolongation or artificial complication of the route can turn this endeavor into a long-term construction project, which would cause the stagnation, hopelessness, disappointment and degeneration of thousands of families and even of entire countries and peoples of our region.
After all, over the past 30 years, under all sorts of pretexts, threats and bribery, this project has been torpedoed by the enemies of dynamic development of our region. Even when, the external negative pressure was weakened; the internal strife of tribalism and regionalism of the Kyrgyz leaders pose the greatest danger in the implementation of this great undertaking. We will dwell on these problems in detail in a separate post, which must certainly be overcome.
After all, through this railway wealth and new opportunities will flow to our region in caravans of wagons loaded with gold, which will turn almost every family into millionaires! It is like Aladdin's cave on wheels: endless wagons of valuable cargo sealed into individual orders, which will transport golden opportunities to every family - from West and East, South and North along this transit railway.

The treasure of this entire world
will reach us by this railroad
and our worth will be evaluated globally.
