Chapter 22 Reversing black and white
Li Moyang and Chen Guoqing looked out of the porthole and were stunned.
Between the blue sky, white clouds and blue sea, a ring-shaped island is right in front of you. Dozens of giant wheels form the base of the island. On the giant wheel, there are coconut trees everywhere. Villas of different styles are scattered among them. Between the islands, between the villas and the villas
They are all connected by wooden planks. A huge cargo ship serves as the dock, and the huge tower crane on it is lifting various goods to the dock.
It’s simply a miracle on earth!
Li Moyang turned around and asked Miller: "How were those trees planted?"
Miller said proudly: "For potted plants, how about building a cement pond and transporting soil to plant them? It feels a bit like the water world of the future, right?"
"Not bad, not bad, it feels very good. There are very few typhoons in low latitudes. There is sunshine, dark sand, and villa islands. I believe our international sea resort will definitely be popular."
"It's necessary!" Miller was very proud.
Li Moyang suddenly thought of a question: "Well, how to solve the problem of drinking water?"
"Haha, if I didn't think of this, I wouldn't be called Miller. Seawater desalination, solar energy technology, including solar power, wind power, diesel power, etc., are all available on this island, so don't worry."
Li Moyang was relieved that Miller was a talent.
Chen Guoqing said excitedly: "Give me an army, and then air defense missiles, sea missiles, artillery and anti-aircraft artillery. Hehe, this is a forward base for China, an important military base."
Miller shook his head, and Li Moyang shook his head as well. After all, Chen Guoqing came from the Chinese army, and he always thought about the military aspect of everything.
"Old Chen, actually you don't have to worry that someone will seize this place, pirates will come here, as long as the international resort is built and the international rich come to vacation, they will be the best armed forces." Li Moyang said with a smile.
Chen Guoqing didn't understand. Li Moyang smiled and said: "They rich people all have their own bodyguards, and they have strong armed forces. Besides, who dares to grab this land? I told you clearly, Old Chen, that this is an unclaimed land."
We have already verified it, from time to time Miller?"
Miller was even more proud: "Yes, this is the high seas. It is not on the border of the Zengmu Shoal, nor within the 12-nautical-mile territorial waters of the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore. The shoal here has become a new one through our construction."
The island belongs to whoever discovers it and declares it for construction. I think it is feasible for Li Moyang to apply to establish a country."
Li Moyang said seriously: "Yes, it is absolutely feasible. There are precedents before, and I think this matter is imminent."
Chen Guoqing didn't know what he was doing. Miller explained: "Not long ago, there was a father who founded his own country in order to realize his daughter's dream of becoming a princess." After saying that, he pulled out an old newspaper, which was all in English, with a cute little girl's head on it.
Wearing a crown, with a national flag behind her, and her father standing next to her holding the national flag, the little girl had a happy expression on her face.
Miller pointed to a sentence-by-sentence translation of the report:
In order to keep his promise to his 7-year-old daughter to make her a real princess, a father from Virginia, USA, traveled a long distance to a remote desert area and claimed sovereignty over a piece of land.
After promising his daughter Emily that one day she would become a princess, Jeremiah Heaton embarks on an unusual quest to claim an unclaimed tract of land sandwiched between Egypt and Sudan.
land.
In June this year, the father of three came to the desert area of Bir Tawil and planted a flag designed by his children on the land, taking the first step to claim ownership of the land.
After returning home, Heaton and his wife made a tiara for their daughter and asked friends and family to call her Princess Emily.
Her kingdom consisted of 800 square miles of desert that had never been claimed by either Sudan or Egypt.
Searching for a way to fulfill his promise to Emily, Heaton discovers that Bir Tawil is one of the few remaining unclaimed lands in the world.
Heaton took a 14-hour caravan across the desert to plant the national flag in this desert. The flag has a blue background with the logo and stars representing their home.
In addition to designing the flag, Heaton's children also decided to name the country the Kingdom of North Sudan.
Heaton's next step was to get Sudan and Egypt to recognize his kingdom of North Sudan.
Shelia Karopika, a professor of politics and international relations at the University of Richmond, said their claim to the area needs to be recognized by other African countries.
She said it doesn't work for someone to put up a flag and claim ownership of land without legal recognition from neighboring countries, the United Nations or other groups. However, the Heaton family has not been hindered so far;
Letterheads were ordered with the country's flag printed on them. One of Heaton's sons also made another tray with the flag printed on it while camping.
"But my main purpose was to show my daughter that her father would keep his promises," Heaton added.
"I think the world is full of love. I want my kids to understand that I would do anything for them," Heaton said.
"I understand, as long as the operation is done well, we can build a country." Chen Guoqing finally understood, but he turned around and stared at Li Moyang seriously and said: "Why not dedicate this island to the country?"
Li Moyang and Miller looked at each other and were silent for a while. Li Moyang said: "It's a pity that this island was built by Mr. Miller. He has the right to decide the fate of the island."
Miller immediately understood what Li Moyang meant. He nodded in agreement. Li Moyang continued: "Miller has established a new country and will be recognized by China as soon as possible. There is no doubt about this. As for future security cooperation, there is no need
If you are worried, we will propose security cooperation to China."
Chen Guoqing sighed and said: "I understand, I think I understand, why not change it to you? The head of state of this new country should be you."
"Haha, Old Chen, you are still... you are still too educated in the military and are a bit rigid. I think an island attached to China is more beneficial to China's maritime defense than China's own territory.
Those officials in the country know better than you. This is called politics. You should come with me to Africa to make a living."
"Well, I am indeed an outsider in politics, so I will listen to you and go to Africa!" Chen Guoqing said with a shameful smile.
During the discussion between several people, a huge cargo ship docked at the island pier. The three of them said goodbye to the captain and walked towards a villa in the distance. The wooden plank road was very solid and full of exotic customs.
While admiring the scenery, Li Moyang lamented that he also had a piece of land, and the Three Musketeers of New York would now participate in the magnificent but thorny international affairs.
Miller pushed open a two-story villa and said: "Come in, this is the only villa that has been built. In half a month, all the other villas will be decorated. At that time, I think it will be time to announce the founding of the country and attract foreign investment."
It’s time for tourists.”
Li Moyang walked into the villa and looked around. The villa has a frame-type light steel frame, and the interior is all made of wood walls. The bathroom, tables, chairs and benches are very elegant because of the unique wooden decoration.
Sitting on the sofa, Li Moyang turned on the TV. The satellite reception system was very smooth. The current affairs news from Singapore TV was playing on the TV: "Late yesterday, a nuclear leak occurred on the tourist resort island between Malaysia and the Philippines. Bureau of Statistics*
The Japanese side analyzed that two yellow men used dirty bombs, causing nuclear contamination here. The two countries declared a restricted area here. At the same time, the two countries announced that they would label the two Chinese as terrorists and arrest them globally."
