Chapter 2497 Huaxiaists!
Su Rui took the two beauties to find a place to sit down, ordered a few snacks, and talked while eating.
"You should know that nothing can be seen only on the surface. De Francie has existed at sea for so many years. It was not until the middle of the last century that the two countries of Yama and Banlunasi began to compete for sovereignty. If you were an indigenous person of De Francie, which country would you tend to think of yourself?"
"This question..." Danielle Sharp hesitated for a moment. She seemed to find this question too difficult to answer.
Junzi was straightforward and said it directly: "If you want me to say that, of course I will not buy anyone. Why should I let other countries rule my own territory?"
Su Rui snapped his fingers: "That's right, you think so, and the indigenous people on the island naturally think so too."
"So, Banlunasi and Yama are fighting for blood, just wishful thinking?" Danielle Sharp asked, her beautiful brow frowned slightly.
"Correct, DeFranci Island has just completed the initial development and is already very popular. If further development can be achieved, what will it be like? It is still unknown whether it surpasses Hawaii in the future! The quality of the sea water and beaches here must be above Hawaii, what does this mean?"
Su Rui asked and answered himself, and he stretched out a finger: "This represents a word - money!"
"Not to mention that after accepting this island, all the resources around the island belong to the country. The income brought by the tourism industry every year is enough to support a small country! That is a shocking wealth! Banlunasi and Yama are the two closest countries to this place, so they must be extremely jealous of this!"
Junko Kuoyang shook her head: "But, what can they do if they have a hot eye? Do other major powers in the world agree with their approach?"
"Internationally, territorial disputes are always the most difficult thing to explain." Su Rui said, "The two countries can always find something to prove that De Franci is a part of them, so those big countries can't control this."
"So, since the middle of the last century, they all wanted to come here and take over it." Su Rui said: "At that time, it was the time when the frequency of naval wars broke out the highest. From the tentative attacks at the beginning to the full fire later, the attack became more and more intense."
"But these two countries are not big and cannot afford such a long-term war of attrition. So after a few years, they began to confront each other. After a few years, they fought. This is basically how it took for decades."
"This must have had a great impact on the indigenous people on the island." Junko pouted: "I hate war the most."
"Actually, it's okay that the two countries of Yama and Banlunasi fought and confronted each other, and they were basically on the sea. There were so many indigenous people on the island, so they could not forcefully occupy it with guns."
"I understand, so that's what happened." Danielle Sharp hadn't paid much attention to this matter before. Just knowing that the scenery here is beautiful and pleasant, who would have thought that there would be so many bloody storms behind the huge income generated for the tourism industry!
She said: "Anyway, none of them has had much impact on De Francia now, but the residents of the island will definitely be disgusted by this. After all,... they have no sense of belonging to Yama and Banlunasi since ancient times."
"You are right, the fact is indeed this. After all, although the entire island of De France is a little behind, they still have their own governments. If the two foreign countries want to intervene forcibly, no one wants to see it." Su Rui said.
Danielle Sharp thought something and then added: "So, the two countries, Banlunasi and Yama, began to find ways to support their own forces within the Isle of De Franci, and at the same time use these forces to assimilate the people's thoughts."
Su Rui continued: "In fact, there are basically three factions within DeFrancia. One side supports Yama, the other side supports Banlunasi, and the other side is called conservatives. This conservative opposes all foreign developers and advocates DeFrancia's autonomy."
"But, no party can say well what the future of De France will be like now. The naval battle in the past two years is the closest war, and it still has no result. It is estimated that such a territorial dispute will be possible for another century."
Junko ate seafood made with local specialty cooking techniques and said, "Which side on this island now has the advantage?"
Su Rui pondered for a moment: "Conservative."
Regarding De Francia, the military advisor had sorted out extremely detailed information. Su Rui read it very carefully and did not let go of many clues.
"Then Yama and Banlunasi have something to do now." Daniel Sharp pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, in the past few years, I think Yama and Banlunasi have helped De France a lot. At least this island is no longer a closed situation, and has made great progress in the past few years."
While speaking, Danielle Sharp pointed to the tall buildings under construction in the distance: "Otherwise, how could the formerly backward island of De France attract the attention of these large international groups?"
Su Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But the key is that this kind of attention and development may not be what the indigenous people on this island want... What they want to have more may be to maintain tradition."
Is it really that simple to maintain tradition?
"But there are many times when traditional things are not necessarily good, they may also be backward." Danielle Sharp was a little dissatisfied: "In this era, there is nothing wrong with keeping pace with the international community."
"That's what you think. Many people don't think so, especially the conservatives here." Su Rui said with a smile: "They feel that outsiders have disturbed their peaceful life. They have to share their blue sky, white clouds and beaches with the outside world. Conservatives don't want to see this happen. They feel that their traditions must be the best."
"Society is differentiating, and the contradictions in opinions continue to accumulate, which will have a very serious impact." Junko can also see the problems in this.
In fact, during the tour, they could clearly feel that some locals looked at them with not very friendly eyes, and some were even full of hostility.
Of course, many of them are very friendly, and it is obvious that they are welcoming and open to the arrival of tourists.
"Actually, although the tourism development on De France is very good now, if this hostility is not resolved, tourists may not come the second time after the first time," Junko said.
Danielle Sharp shook his head: "It is also possible that tourists will go straight to the hotel by the sea after getting off the plane and will not come to the old streets to browse. In fact, as time goes by, more and more young people here will go out. Once they see the gorgeousness and prosperity outside, they will instinctively want to promote their hometown to integrate into the world."
"Suddenly I found that both of you have become emotional and even intellectual." Su Rui said with a smile.
Danielle Sharp was not satisfied with this statement and pouted in discontent, saying, "Did you say you were not emotional or intellectual before?"
"Previously... that was a female hooligan." Su Rui seized the opportunity and went back to take revenge.
After hearing this, Danielle Sharp and Junko twisted Su Rui's arm together.
Although this island has nearly 500,000 people, it does not feel crowded because it covers a large area. Su Rui actually has one thing that has not been said, that is, there is a relatively high mountain in the center of the island, like a huge triangular body, and the three sides of the mountain are divided into three tribes, that is, three ethnic groups.
In the course of historical development, these three ethnic groups have gradually intermarried, exchanged and integrated. However, although they no longer have a fixed area of residence, the tribal complex still exists.
These three factions are basically composed of three major tribes as the main forces.
The Varnas are mainly pro-Amara, the Ropesays are mainly pro-Banlunasi, and the Smithians, the largest number, are the main force of the conservatives.
Of course, this boundary is not completely strict, just like there are people in the Ropesey people who support Yama.
However, the autonomous government on the island is also composed of three tribes sending backbone forces, so this determines that it is impossible for them to completely turn to any country.
On weekdays, tourists naturally don’t think so much, but Su Rui’s position is different, so he will naturally consider more.
"Don't think that the indigenous people here are very backward. In fact, their pockets are very bulging and they have made a lot of money over the years."
Su Rui said, took out a Chinese coin and handed it to a small boss on the side of the road. He took three bracelets polished with shells from his hand.
"This can actually be used with Chinese coins." Danielle Sharp took the bracelet and felt very incredible.
"Yes, Chinese currency, euro, US dollars, and local Defran Silicon currency, all of these four currencies can be circulated."
When Su Rui said this, he had a sense of pride.
Now that China's national strength is strong, every Chinese has the capital to be proud of. We stand up straight and walk proudly on the road to revival.
"Indeed, that gentleman's judgment on you is very accurate, and you can't change your nationality at all." Danielle Sharp said: "You are the purest Chinese."
"Huaxiaist?" Su Rui laughed, reached out and patted Daniel Sharp on the shoulder: "This is the first time I have heard of this term, but I have to say that I like this term very much."
It is impossible for Su Rui to change the nationality of China and become a citizen of another country in the next life. Therefore, the "Mr." completely gave up and decided to attack Su Rui.
Under this situation, things have begun to shift in a more intense direction.
……………………
What Su Rui didn't know was that in a villa near the sea, a man was wearing a bathrobe and smoking a cigar.
"You're here." He said lightly, without even turning his face.
