There is no secret that a dose of truth serum cannot reveal. If so, get two.
Not to brag or to be slanderous, these Filipino monkeys are pretty tough, especially Cruz, who is missing an arm, and refuses to admit his identity to the end. However, under the effect of Veritaserum, willpower is of no use at all.
Praise technology.
41 Filipino soldiers were captured and 59 soldiers were basically killed in the crossfire. Ivan did this very meticulously. Not only did he leave a record of the radio broadcast, but he also filmed the process of the second warning broadcast. Later, the Philippine side took out an anti-aircraft machine gun to resist arrest, which was also captured by the camera installed on the helicopter.
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with the way Ivan handled the situation. What he needed was a commander who could make "correct judgments" at critical moments, not a follower who would call him repeatedly for instructions on even the most trivial matter. To sink those who ignored warnings, he had already told Ivan when he set up the life signal detection radar.
In short, the evidence is complete.
This time Xinguo has completely gained a firm foothold in public opinion.
Incidents of Philippine soldiers pretending to be fishermen have been reported by the media before, but this is the first time they pretended to be mercenaries and planned military operations against other countries. What's even worse is that these monkeys were caught doing stupid things.
For a time, international public opinion set off a huge uproar. Many governments, including China, have condemned the Philippines' hooligan behavior and this serious violation of international law, and expressed their close attention to the progress of the incident.
At first, President Aquino and the Philippine Minister of Foreign Affairs kept saying that this was a frame-up by the New Zealand side. However, after the release of the 41 confession videos, they were slapped in the face, as well as the 41 surviving soldiers. Despite the family’s protests, the Philippine government was completely silent.
The evidence is all on his face, no matter how much he quibbles, it's useless.
According to this country's next practice, they should be cheating and refusing to admit their mistakes. But at this time, Xinguo said that if the Philippines could not give a satisfactory answer, all entering soldiers would be sentenced to more than 30 years in prison.
This puts Aquino in a dilemma.
If you continue to deny it, these soldiers will definitely not be able to return home. The families of these soldiers will certainly not be satisfied. He admitted his mistake, apologized, and then shamelessly asked the New Zealand government for mercy and release. Aquino couldn't bear this shame.
For a time, the diplomacy between the two countries reached a deadlock.
But anyone can see that in this round of confrontation, Xin Guo has the upper hand.
... ...
In that villa on Koro Island. Zhang Yaping and Jiang Chen sat facing each other at the coffee table in the living room. Ayesha poured tea for them and then left the living room.
Perhaps because he was thirsty, Zhang Yaping first picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put down the cup with a sigh of relief.
"Thank you so much. This time I stole the show internationally."
"You're welcome." Jiang Chen said unconsciously, ignoring his retort.
"No, no, no, let's be polite. We killed 59 people at once. If they hadn't been wronged, I might have received a summons from the International Court of Justice." Zhang Yaping waved his hands and declined.
"Haha, I find you are much more humorous than before." Jiang Chen laughed.
"It's just fun in the midst of hardship." Zhang Yaping made a helpless expression.
"Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful with me. Let's just say this, you will definitely benefit a lot." Jiang Chen said.
"For example?" Zhang Yaping laughed.
"At least you don't have to worry about the election." Jiang Chen leaned on the sofa and crossed his legs, yawning and said, "Although I don't know much about politics. But after watching the news for so many years, I have concluded that There is a rule.”
"What's the rule?" Zhang Yaping teased.
"Being tough externally can boost domestic support more than revitalizing the economy."
"You don't need to say this." Zhang Yaping curled his lips. He originally thought that this guy had some different opinions, but unexpectedly he said nonsense that everyone knew.
"Oh? It seems that I accidentally discovered an axiom of international relations?" Jiang Chen laughed proudly.
It's still a bit difficult for him, who was born in mechanics, to be involved in governing the country. To be honest, Jiang Chen had never thought about becoming the president before, but after some thinking, he gave up on this plan.
If he were to be the president, he would always feel like he would turn this world into a second apocalypse...
Or is a position behind the scenes more suitable for me
“It’s still early days for elections, and who can say what will happen in five years’ time.”
"Don't worry, even if you don't have enough votes, I will find a way to help you win." Jiang Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip. Said nonchalantly.
Zhang Yaping's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't say anything. Although he himself was very opposed to this kind of secret operation, he thought that it would be beneficial to him after all, and after some struggle. He remained silent.
Jiang Chen glanced at the clock in the living room and saw that it was getting late, so he said, "Did you come to me today just to complain about this?"
"Of course not," he said. Zhang Yaping took out a folded piece of printing paper from his pocket and said, "I came here mainly for the compensation. A total of 976 families were affected, with a total of 2115 people. Many of them have now lost their only As for residence, I currently stay at the homes of relatives and friends.”
Objectively speaking, this president is indeed a good president. Even if he is a puppet regime, he is still seeking the welfare of the people.
"Have 10% of the country's people been affected? This is a big problem. Let me think about it..." Jiang Chen touched his chin and started thinking.
Zhang Yaping looked at Jiang Chen calmly, swallowed, and waited for his reply.
"In this way, you first sort out the detailed information of all the people who have registered to receive compensation. Families who have lost their homes due to house demolition will be compensated with a 120-square-meter property. If the compensation is insufficient, the compensation will be 50 US dollars per square meter. As for the lost Those who use land for planting will be compensated at a land price of US$10 per square meter, and work will be prioritized. What are the conditions for such compensation?"
After listening to Jiang Chen's speech, Zhang Yaping couldn't help but widen his eyes and couldn't help but remind him.
"Each household will be compensated with a 120-square-meter property? What if some people originally lived in a 90-square-meter bungalow?"
"Then they will thank me." Jiang Chen smiled.
Zhang Yaping was stunned for a moment. He was very surprised by Jiang Chen's words.
Taking a deep breath, he thanked him sincerely.
"... Well, on behalf of the people of New Zealand, I thank you for your generosity."
"You're welcome." Jiang Chen waved his hand and said.
The reason for being so generous is not because Jiang Chen is a philanthropist, but because he has other plans.
The population density of Pannu's nine islands is now extremely uneven. The population is basically concentrated in the highly developed cities of Koro and Anjia. The remaining seven inhabited islands are not small in area, but their population is extremely sparse. With a population of less than a hundred people in an area of more than ten square kilometers, it can't even open a supermarket, let alone revitalize the economy. This demolition also has the factor of redistributing population density. These new homes will not be built on the islands of Koro and Anga.
As for the expenses, they are actually quite large.
According to the specifications of a building with 8 floors and 8 households on each floor, there is no problem in installing 64 households in each building. Even if it has 1,000 households, it only needs 16 buildings to install it. The land price and tax can be ignored. The average cost of each building is only about 100,000 US dollars, and the total expenditure is only 1.6 million US dollars. For Jiang Chen's assets, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
And it can also lead to a good reputation. Why not do this kind of thing
"By the way, speaking of prioritizing work arrangements, does your company still have positions available for placement?" Zhang Yaping then asked.
"When the tourist facilities are completed, it is expected that 8,000 jobs will be created. Not to mention whether there will be places, I think the population of New Zealand is a bit small. Hmm... Speaking of this, you should study the immigration bill. We need to relax the threshold for foreign immigrants in due course." Jiang Chen said.
"Now that the situation in New Zealand is turbulent, I'm afraid no one will come here." Zhang Yaping said with a bitter smile.
Jiang Chen smiled noncommittally.
"That's not necessarily the case. Believe me, in less than five years, this place will become a place that everyone aspires to, a new continent dominated by Chinese."
"I have to remind you that this is just an archipelago." Zhang Yaping couldn't help but remind him.
"It's 'now' just an archipelago."
Jiang Chen bit hard on these two words now. (.)
