Chapter 566

Others were shocked and puzzled, but Somalis strongly supported the government's decision.

In the past few months since Somalia joined the "Wei Yuan" system, the lives of Somalis have improved significantly, but they are still very poor. During this period, the Somali government has been doing propaganda work, publicizing the gap between the former Madagascar and the present Williams Empire, publicizing how the Comoros became rich and powerful after joining the Williams Empire, and publicizing the changes of the whole city after Mogadishu was ceded by the Williams empire.

Although there are many propaganda, they are telling Somalis one thing over and over again: by joining the Williams Empire, Somalis will become rich!

In fact, the Somali government doesn't have to brainwash, and Somalis also want to join the Williams empire. Those who can sneak into the Williams empire as much as possible. Once they become citizens of the Williams Empire, they can enjoy medical care, education, subsistence allowances, pension and other benefits. In short, they won't suffer from hunger and cold, and they will have housing! As Somalis learn more and more about the Williams Empire, their desire to join the Williams empire becomes stronger and stronger. The government announced that Somalia joined the Williams Empire just to satisfy everyone's desire, and immediately got huge support! The whole country was jubilant and paraded to celebrate!

The whole world is stupid. I didn't expect there would be such a situation. However, those who have not been to Somalia do not know about it. The civil war in Somalia has not lasted for one or two years, but has lasted for decades. The Somalis are suffering from both war and hunger. How miserable their fate is. How much they want a peaceful life and how much they want a strong country to rely on!

There is an old Chinese saying that "a son is not a fish, and you know the happiness of a fish." can the idea of the Somalis be understood by those who enjoy peace and prosperity?

Henry invited the world's major media to hold a grand press conference and announced: "the Williams Empire agrees with the decision of the Somali government. We are willing to accept Somalia and the Somalis! The Williams empire is a multi-ethnic country. We have Malagasy people, Comoros people and so on. From today on, there will be another nation in the Williams Empire, that is, Somalis! "

Henry's impassioned speech infected everyone present, including those who watched the live broadcast.

But at this moment, Somalia suddenly burst out extremely excited cry, countless people hugged and wept, the scene is moving!

"Great, we're citizens of the Williams Empire now!"

"Mom, we've become citizens of the Williams empire. Won't we ever go hungry again?" A bony, dirty five or six-year-old boy asked his mother next to him. His eyes were not as innocent and carefree as ordinary children. They were just helpless and almost heartbreaking

A emaciated black woman hugged the little boy tightly to his head and said in a slightly choked voice, "yes, child, we will never be hungry again!"

On the screen of Henry's press conference, one scene after another of pictures and videos from Somalia were playing continuously. Through live broadcast, these pictures and videos were also seen by hundreds of millions of people.

Netizens can't help leaving messages on Facebook, Weibo, twitter and other platforms.

"The Somalis look so pathetic. It's the right choice for them to join the Williams empire!"

"Yes, it can't be more correct!"

“……”

In fact, the U.S. government soon stopped Somalia from joining the Williams Empire, but more and more people watched the live broadcast of the Williams Empire news conference. People could not help but have strong sympathy for the Somalis, and then expressed their support for the decision of Somalia to join the Williams empire! If the United States comes forward to stop it at this time, it will be criticized and reviled by people all over the world! In addition, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer. The Somali country decided to join the Williams empire. What should the United States do? And it has no right to manage it!!!

At the end of the press conference, Henry couldn't help shouting.

"From today on, Somalia is officially part of the Williams empire!"

"Williams Empire, sacred and inviolable!"

Henry's voice just fell, Somalia, Madagascar, Comoros, Socotra and other places happened to ring the same voice.

"Williams Empire, sacred and inviolable!"

"Williams Empire, sacred and inviolable!"

“……”

The sound is deafening, resounding for nine days, and countless people watching the live broadcast can't help but get excited!

After the press conference, many countries sent congratulatory telegrams to congratulate the Williams empire on its acquisition of Somalia.

The former area of Williams empire was 600000 square kilometers, and the area of Somalia was 637000 square kilometers, larger than that of Williams empire. Now, Somalia is merged into Williams Empire, and the area of Williams Empire has suddenly become 1237000 square kilometers, more than 1221000 square kilometers in South Africa, ranking 24 in the world!

China is 9.611 million square kilometers, and the United States is 9.364 million square kilometers. Compared with them, the Williams empire is far behind. Now, the size of the Williams empire is more than enough. The coastlines of Madagascar and Somalia are long, so the sea area is also quite large. If we calculate the area of Shanghai, the Williams empire can be ranked much higher.

When Henry returned to his office, he couldn't help thinking that Somalia had been incorporated into the Williams empire. If Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Indonesia and Malawi could also be incorporated into the Williams Empire, it would be a blockhouse. The total area would be 3.491 million square kilometers, surpassing India's 3.28 million square kilometers, ranking seventh in the world.

"Your Majesty, the population of Somalia is nearly 8 million, and there is a lot of relief food to be distributed." Villette made Henry a glass of water and said with a little emotion.

"Hair, I can still afford 8 million people!"

"Your Majesty, do you know how much the price of grain has gone up?" Villette said, "Your Majesty, the food planted on your farm every year accounts for 15.2% of the market share of food exports, which can solve the problem of food and clothing for 120 million people. But since you established the Williams Empire, you have reduced the amount of grain exports. Naturally, the price of global grain exports began to rise year by year. From 2003 to 2005, the price of per ton of rice has increased by 340 US dollars. After Somalia was merged into the Williams Empire, the price of food must have gone up a lot! "

"I can't help it," Henry said with a laugh. "Anyway, the Williams empire is not short of food. The increase in grain is good for me. Other countries have to beg me to buy grain cheaper! "

"Your Majesty, Japan's territory is very small, but its population is more than 100 million. It needs to buy a lot of grain every year. Once the price of grain rises, the most painful thing is Japan! As far as I know, an ordinary bowl of rice in Japan costs 40 yen, equivalent to 2.5 Wei Yuan of our Williams empire! "

Er, a bowl of rice costs two yuan and five yuan. It's too expensive. However, I like it. I want to make Japan poor when I eat!

……

A few days later, Henry sent a lot of food to Somalia, and sent a lot of employment guidance personnel to train them and improve their employability. It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. If pirates are used to it, they may not do anything else. At the same time, a large number of engineering teams and architectural designers have been sent out to prepare for large-scale construction in Somalia, build public infrastructure and provide job opportunities for Somalis. In addition, it is also preparing to attract investment. Somalia's geographical location is excellent. It belongs to the "horn of Africa". There are many ships in the past, which are full of business opportunities. Otherwise, there would not be pirates in this industry! Before the civil war in Somalia, no one dared to invest, but now that Somalia belongs to the Williams Empire, countless people are competing to invest in Somalia. They are afraid that the money will be sent slowly!

Of course, there are still some Somali pirates here, but the navy of Williams Empire has been suppressing them. There is only one final fate for Pirates: destruction!

On March 2, Somali pirates were basically wiped out, and the fleet stayed on Socotra island. On the 4th, the imperial transport team brought in a large number of treasures, which were seized from the Somali pirates' nest, including gold and jewelry, all kinds of precious antiques, calligraphy and painting, etc.

When Henry heard that it was a treasure captured from the pirate's nest, he was full of curiosity and wanted to see what good treasure he had.

storeroom.

An old man in a robe is the person in charge here. He leads Henry and others to introduce the contents while they walk.

"Your Majesty, there are many exotic jewelry necklaces, gold and silver ornaments, and countless antiques from China, Britain, France, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Myanmar and Vietnam!"

"Is there anything special?"

Henry was dazzled at all these things.

"Yes, your majesty, please follow me!"

Then the old man in the storeroom took Henry forward, then turned a few corners, and finally stopped in front of a big box made of red sandalwood.

As soon as the box opened, Henry was shocked. What was inside was a huge chicken blood stone! Chicken blood stone is a kind of dickite with cinnabar strips, which is named for its bright red cinnabar like chicken blood. Chicken blood stone contains cinnabar, quartz, chalcedony and other ingredients, the yield is very rare, very precious!

The old man introduced to Henry: "Your Majesty, the largest chicken blood stone in the world, weighing more than 50 tons, is the treasure of the mingqinyuan Geological Museum of China. Although this chicken blood stone is only 30 kg, the content of bright red blood is as high as 70%. It is a rare treasure in the world, and its value is more expensive than the biggest chicken blood stone! Your majesty, its blood shape distribution is very unique, just like a fire dragon flying through the clouds, and its momentum is extremely extraordinary! And chicken blood stone like this is priceless! I'm afraid it's the most expensive chicken blood stone in the world! "

What the old man said was full of hype, but Henry couldn't see it. The figure in the chicken blood stone was a fire dragon flying through the clouds? This TM is too abstract... Henry can't help remembering that when the tour guide introduced the scenic spots to the tourists, he also described the hype, saying that eight immortals crossed the sea, Chang'e looked at the moon, monkeys stole peaches... Cough, anyway, it's all bullshit, it's not like it at all.

However, the only thing that the old man said correctly was that such a chicken blood stone was really valuable.

"Your Majesty, you can let the sculptor carve it a little bit. It must be an unparalleled product. If you put it in your home to make decorations, it will not only be powerful and beautiful, but also avoid evil and evil!"

Henry nodded and said, "that's good. By the way, is there anything special here besides chicken blood stone?"

"Something special?" The old man thought about it and said, "there seems to be a treasure map..."
