The trial of President Edward took place on the fifth day after the coup. /huotxt/
During this day, almost all Panu people stayed at home and gathered in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the trial.
In the end, the New Zealand Supreme Court sentenced former President Edward to seventeen crimes, including treason, confiscated all his property, and executed him at the end of the month.
This result was supported by all the people of the new country. Those who were persecuted wanted to peel off his skin and take out his menstruation. Of course, the new country is a civilized country, so it is naturally impossible to carry out executions in such a barbaric way. Intravenous injection will be his final destination.
As for the soldiers who surrendered, the courts did not punish them excessively for their actions in the coup, considering that they fought out of duty. The general was only charged with accepting bribes and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
At the same time, the former government forces disbanded.
After the situation stabilized, this small country with a population of less than 20,000 quickly disappeared from the sight of the world's media and returned to the tranquility of isolation from the world.
But on the contrary, this small country has appeared in the sight of many capitalists.
Because of a big deal worth tens of billions of dollars.
The infrastructure reconstruction project that has completed the first phase will be open to real estate companies around the world for bidding again. It is expected that the amount of this large order will be more than 7 billion US dollars.
The most troublesome phase of the project has been completed "free of charge" by Linhua Group, and the remaining three phases of the project are not too difficult. Of course, taking into account the stability of the new regime and the lessons learned from Linhua Group, various real estate companies have become much stricter in the review of asset certification.
However, after hearing that the tenderer for the project was Futureman International, all worries disappeared.
For Internet companies with a monthly revenue of more than 300 million US dollars, there is no doubt about their ability to pay. Rather, it would be better to say that real estate developers are eager to wait until the future when the international community cannot come up with money. In this case, they can request equity compensation, and after obtaining the shares, they will find a way to get Futureman Technology listed on Nasdaq. Even if they speculate at a price-to-earnings ratio of 20 times, they will make crazy profits.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Jiang Chen to have no money to pay.
For a time, all kinds of capital also focused on this isolated island. Even if you can't get this big deal worth tens of billions of dollars, it is still a good choice to follow the big capital to get a share of the development of this small island.
... ...
The yacht's engine roared. Letting the sea breeze ruffle his hair, Jiang Chen stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the skyline.
The yacht was bought from the auction of Johnny's assets, and the captain of the yacht was an old fisherman named Kaqi, who was introduced by Jiang Chen's warehouse manager Kasan.
This brown-skinned aborigine is equally fluent in Chinese and English. It is said that when he was young, he went to Yangcheng in China and did business there. After the business failed, he returned to his hometown and started fishing. And he has been doing it for more than 20 years.
"How much longer?"
"We're almost there." The old fisherman driving the boat grinned and continued to speed up the yacht.
The speed of 50 knots is soaring on the sea, and only one wave is needed for the boat to float like flying. However, this fisherman is indeed a good sailor. No matter how erratic the waves are, the yacht is still as steady as poi.
Aisha nervously held Jiang Chen's hand, while her other hand held the iron railing tightly. Jiang Chen was very courageous and showed no fear at all. He just stood facing the wind and breathed in the fresh air.
soon. A small island gradually emerged from the skyline.
"Did you see it?" the old fisherman shouted, laughing heartily.
"Haha, I saw it." Jiang Chen couldn't wait to take out the telescope. He looked towards his island.
Yes, this is his island.
As the biggest winner in the coup, Xinghuan Trading Company not only received the commission of "contracting national defense" and was allowed to form the army on behalf of the new government, but also received authorization to build a 100-square-meter military outpost on the nine islands. In addition, Crescent Island, 150 kilometers west of Koro Island, the capital of the new country, has also been permanently leased by the new country to the Star Ring Trading Company for the construction of a military base.
As its name suggests, the island looks like a crescent moon.
The island is lush with trees. Covered in tropical vegetation. The terrain in the middle is slightly higher, while the two wings are relatively gentle. The beach in the bay is shallow and can turn into a sandbar at low tide. If you look down at the entire island at this time, you can see the full moon. Because the rise and fall of the tide is very similar to the full moon and the waning moon, the island is also called the waxing and waning island.
It is one of the few islands named in Chinese among the Pannu Islands.
Because the area is too small and there is no fresh water source on the island, it is an uninhabited island and is not among the nine islands of Pannu. Although these beautiful views are somewhat compromised, it is indeed a good choice to use this place as a military base.
As the yacht approached, Jiang Chen saw two ships anchored on one side of the island.
Because there is no deep-water port, the two ships cannot dock and stop broadcasting. They can only hang far away from the edge of the island and use small boats to transport people and materials ashore.
These people were all transferred from the Niger military base. Most of them were Syrian Christians. They were recruited into mercenaries by Jiang Chen on their way to escape. Although there was some semi-forced meaning in it, they were still grateful to Jiang Chen after they found out that Jiang Chen did not abuse them and provided proper arrangements for their family. After several months of military training, they had almost integrated into their new identities.
Over time, Jiang Chen will also recruit soldiers in Panu. According to his plan, the military base will maintain a strength of 500 troops in the first phase. While prioritizing the development of the air force, it will purchase old warships for "modernization" modifications.
Of course, this can be done slowly. After all, we are now in a peaceful era, and the diplomatic relations between the new country and its neighboring countries are relatively normal, and there is no urgent need to expand armaments.
"Should we dock directly, or go to the ship?" The old fisherman shouted loudly with the sea breeze in his mouth.
"Get closer to the ship." Jiang Chen commanded.
"okay."
With a shout and a roar of the engine, the old fisherman drove the boat towards the ship.
Kilometers fly by in an instant.
After tying the yacht with a chain, the people on the ship lowered the ladder, and Jiang Chen and Ayesha climbed up first.
As her feet touched the stable deck, Ayesha stumbled dizzy. Fortunately, Jiang Chen caught her in time, otherwise she might have fallen into the sea.
"Are you seasick?" Looking at Ayesha's dizzy look, Jiang Chen couldn't help but curling up the corners of his mouth.
This was the first time he had seen such a confused look from her.
"A bit." Ayesha shook her little head and said while holding her forehead.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Jiang Chen couldn't help complaining.
"Because... I see you are very happy when you are surfing." A blush appeared on the cold and pretty face, and Ayesha buried her head and said softly.
Seeing her acting so cutely, Jiang Chen's heart skipped a few beats and he swallowed.
But at this moment, a light cough came from not far away.
It was Ivan's old face with crisscrossed grooves, smiling teasingly at Jiang Chen.
"Boss, I really didn't mean to be a light bulb, but... everyone is watching." As he said this, Ivan pouted his lips to the side in a funny way.
The soldiers on the deck whistled, waved and cheered to Jiang Chen, but the amusement was very obvious in their eyes.
Aisha blushed and buried her head behind Jiang Chen. Although she had always been generous and proactive when there were only two of them, she was still not used to showing intimacy with Jiang Chen in front of others.
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, had black lines all over his head.
These guys, no matter how big or small, dare to look at the boss's jokes.
"Go back to work. If I see you wandering around on the deck again, don't attend the barbecue party tonight!" Jiang Chen yelled at the top of his lungs at the idlers.
Hearing that there was a barbecue party in the evening, the group of soldiers immediately dispersed and went back to their jobs. Those who had nothing to do also pretended to be busy and helped them. After all, no one can mess with barbecue, right
Jiang Chen then looked at Ivan with a smile.
"Ahem, boss, I just... uh, to prevent you from making a fool of yourself in front of your subordinates." When Jiang Chen looked at him, Ivan smiled and waved his hand.
After having enough jokes, Jiang Chen also calmed down.
"Okay, that's the end of the joke. You go to the captain's cabin and wait for me. Take that boy Bakari with you."
"Yes!" Ivan looked serious, gave a military salute, and left after taking the order. (.)
