v7 Chapter 149: Tuvalu Coup: Mutants Founding the Country (2)

Tuvalu President Modot paced back and forth anxiously in the president's mansion. The August 1st Chinese Language and Culture Network? W? W㈠W ?. ? 8㈧1? Z? W㈠. COMM rules this small country, a country with more than 10,000 people. For other large countries, the population that this so-called president can manage may not be as large as a community director.

But the country is a country after all, Tuvalu has complete diplomacy and sovereignty, and is qualified to build a modern army (although this country has no money to do so).

When the nationals pushed Modot to the throne of the president, the big reason was his words: I will do everything possible to save this country and save the nationals of this country!

But now is his second term. He has been president for seven years. In fact, in 2o12, he had given up the rescue of this country.

Murdoch originally intended to rely on international banks to obtain a loan and then build a dam for the country, which would help the country resist the rising sea level.

But this is just a cure for the symptoms. And how much does it cost to build such a dam? This is simply not something that this small country can afford. The International Banking Organization rejected Modot ’s loan plan without any consideration.

But this stubborn president did not give up, it is his responsibility and duty to fight against the shoulders of the people who will be submerged by the sea. Under his running and lobbying, the UN General Assembly passed special proposals.

Tuvalu was allowed to reclaim the sea and build up 6 to expand its territory to resist sea level rise. Tuvalu ’s approval was that they could expand the original land area of ​​26 square kilometers to 15oo square kilometers.

It is important to know that expanding the land of island countries is a matter that may touch international interests. Because according to international law. Each coastal country has a 13-kilometer warning coastline and 200 kilometers of exclusive economic waters.

If the island countries expand their land area at will, they will embezzle the area of ​​the public economic seas, which other countries cannot tolerate.

Tuvalu's expansion is also conditional. The United Nations has given the following conditions. Pre-Tuvalu's area expansion can only be carried out on its own land, the island.

Secondly, after the expansion of Tuvalu ’s territory, the exclusive economic sea area remains unchanged. It still follows the size of the area before the expansion of the land, and the warning coastline calculates the size of 13 kilometers according to the area of ​​the new land.

Finally, Tuvalu must carry out reclamation within the limits established by the United Nations6, and must not exceed the size and range specified by the United Nations.

Modot's running in exchange for the special approval of the United Nations, it seems that he won. But Modot was bitter in his heart. Because the United Nations rejected one of his most important proposals, that is, a request for assistance from other countries.

Such things as reclamation are not something a small country can accomplish. A glance at Asia shows that both the Philippines and Vietnam are carrying out reclamation projects on their islands and reefs6. But their efforts in the first half of the year were not as good as China ’s three days.

There are only two countries in the world that are truly capable of large-scale reclamation on the sea6, one is the United States and the other is China.

However, the United Nations has always made it clear that it will not support Tuvalu for free. Tuvalu did not find any attractive resources or capital to request assistance. China has sent 10,000 US dollars in aid. This is the only foreign aid received by Modot in recent years. But this amount of money is not even enough for the country to exchange parts for electrical equipment.

Representatives of the US government said on private occasions that such a country as Tuvalu is really not worth bothering, and they again put pressure on the representatives of international banks. Because the United States does not want to pay for Tuvalu's aid.

It is precisely because of this incident that Murdoch attacked US representatives with irritating, even insulting language at the new round of the UN General Assembly.

However, in addition to giving him the treatment of being asked to leave the court, he did not get any practical benefits. Oh, no, China ’s aid of 10,000 US dollars was given to him after this incident. Is this a bonus in recognition of his scolding the United States at the United Nations? Murdoch's heart was sad.

Modot now has nowhere to go. No money, no technology, nothing. I couldn't even see the hope. The 60-year-old man was exhausted. In order to maintain the operation of this weak country, he has exhausted his efforts.

And when he was most desperate, he even wanted to commit suicide after he announced these things to his people. Roberto, a wealthy man from South America, found him: "I am interested in Tuvalu. I can help you arrange refugees. I have quite a few farms and plantations in South America, Northeast Asia, and Southeast Asia."

Roberto said so on the phone, with some arrogance in his tone. As if this was a gift to Modot. However, Roberto does have conditions for arrogance, and Modot has long had no bargaining chips. The entire country has less than 13 years of life left.

Now how to transfer security to these nationals is his most important thing now!

"Mr. Roberto's special plane has not arrived yet?" Modot looked anxiously through the president's mansion to the airport not far away. This so-called presidential residence is just a small villa built in a pretty style. This villa is not far from Tuvalu Airport. Because this is the highest place in the country and the safest place.

Murdoch's secretary had just wanted to answer Murdot's question, they had heard the roar of the aircraft engine from afar. Not that old passenger plane, but an advanced private jet produced by Gulfstream.

Tuvalu has already made preparations, and when Katie and his party first got off the plane, a special greeter led them to the presidential residence.

As for sending a special car to pick up something, there is no such thing. This country is so small that cycling is not enough. What the car is here is waste and decoration. There are no gas stations in the country.

Modot had long been waiting for the arrival of Katie and his colleagues outside the presidential residence. His suit today has been carefully managed to make him look extra spirited.

He saw Roberto, the rich Brazilian, from afar, and as he approached, Modot stepped forward and shook hands with him: "Welcome Mr. Roberto to come. If your company is willing to place Tuvalu If you are a national, please feel free to recruit in your country! "

Upon hearing Modot's words, Roberto just smiled. He patted Murdoch on the shoulder and said to him: "Mr. President, this time I don't count. You have to listen to this lady, how to talk about it, and under what conditions, please talk to her. I just come over Responsible for paying the bill. "

"?" Murdott looked incredulously in the direction of Roberto's fingers, a young girl with a beautiful face. Modot vowed that the girl was not as old as his granddaughter.

Katie smiled at Modot and said, "Mr. President, let's go to the meeting room and talk."

It wasn't until Katie spoke that Murdot suddenly realized that the people who came this time were too young. Almost all look like high school students, if not because Roberto is really true. Modot almost suspected that he had encountered a group of liars.

But what can Tuvalu do? Even human trafficking is much better than staying on this island and waiting to die. Murdoch smiled at himself.

In the conference room of the presidential residence, Katie ’s companions used their variant ability to check around for monitoring and surveillance, or other unsafe things.

It wasn't until the entire room was safe that he nodded to Katie. Now the 17-year-old girl has officially become the leader of this group of young mutants. Even King Remy was pulled to town.

Murdoch looked at a group of young people after he was busy and said, "About the Costa Group's job recruitment in his country ..." He now thought that Roberto was here to recruit workers ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Mordot A lot of filings have been made before, about helping the citizens to obtain some necessary guarantees for work, and so on. Although it is said that going to work as a refugee must be a very hard and low-paying job, the old president of Murdoch always wanted to get a little more welfare.

Katie reached out and motioned for Murdoch to stop: "Mr. President, we are not here to recruit. We are buying something from you!"

"Buy something? What do you buy?" Murdoch had originally picked up the folder to introduce Tuvalu's demographic situation to everyone, but then had to put it down. He wondered if this group of people was a real liar.

Because Tuvalu now sees nothing valuable except cheap labor. Except for the vast blue ocean outside, Modot didn't know what else could be sold in this country.

Do you want to buy some sardines? The old man thought wildly.

Katie looked at Murdoch's confused expression and said seriously: "We want to buy this country from you!"
