Chapter 437 Tuvalu Coup: Mutant Nation Founding Event (2)

Tuvalu President Modot anxiously paced back and forth in the presidential mansion. To rule this small country, a country with more than 10,000 people, for other big countries, the population that this so-called president can manage may not be as large as that of a community director.

But countries are countries after all, and Tuvalu has full diplomacy and sovereignty, and is qualified to build a modern army (although the country does not have the money to do so).

When the people put Mordot on the throne of the president, the big reason was his statement back then: I will do everything possible to save this country, and save the people of this country!

But now it is his second term, and he has been president for seven years. In fact, in 2012, he had given up saving the country.

Mordot originally planned to rely on international banks to obtain a loan and then build a dam for the country, which would help the country withstand rising sea levels.

But this is only a palliative, not a permanent solution. And how much would it cost to build such a dam? This is simply not something this small country can afford. The International Banking Organization dismissed Mordot's loan plan without even thinking about it.

But this stubborn president did not give up. It is his responsibility and obligation to save this group of citizens who are about to be submerged in the sea. Under his running and lobbying, the UN General Assembly passed a special proposal.

Allow Tuvalu to reclaim land from the sea and expand its land area to resist rising sea levels. The approval received by Tuvalu is that they can expand the original land area of ​​26 square kilometers to a maximum of 1500 square kilometers.

We must know that the expansion of the island country's territory is very serious, and it is a matter that may touch international interests. Because under international law. Each coastal country has 13 kilometers of warning coastline and 200 kilometers of exclusive economic zone.

If an island country expands its territory at will, it will encroach on the area of ​​the public economic sea area, which other countries cannot tolerate.

The expansion of Tuvalu is also conditional. The United Nations has given the constraints of the following conditions. First of all, the area expansion of Tuvalu can only be carried out in its own homeland and island.

Secondly, after the expansion of Tuvalu's territory, the area of ​​the exclusive economic zone remains unchanged. It still follows the size of the country before the expansion of the country, and the warning coastline is calculated according to the size of the new country's land area to be 13 kilometers.

Finally, Tuvalu must carry out land reclamation within the limits set by the United Nations, and must not exceed the size and scope set by the United Nations.

Mordot's campaign was rewarded with special approval from the United Nations, and it looked like he had won. But Mordot was bitter in his heart. Because the United Nations rejected one of his most important proposals, which was a request for help from other countries.

Such things as land reclamation are simply not something a small country can accomplish. Just look at Asia, where both the Philippines and Vietnam have land reclamation plans for their islands and reefs. But the results of their hard work in the first half of the year are not as much as China's three-day results.

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

However, the five permanent members of the United Nations have made it clear that they will not support Tuvalu free of charge. And Tuvalu does not have any attractive resources or capital to ask for assistance. China sent an aid of 10,000 US dollars, which is the only foreign aid that Mordot has received in these years. But this amount of money is not even enough to replace the parts of power equipment for the country.

Representatives of the U.S. government even said in private that a country like Tuvalu is really not worth bothering, and they put pressure on representatives of international banks. Because the United States does not want to pay for Tuvalu's aid.

It was precisely because of this incident that Mordot attacked the US representative with irritating and even insulting language at the new round of the UN General Assembly at that time.

But this did not gain any real benefits other than the treatment that brought him being asked to leave the game. Oh, no, the $10,000 aid from China was given to him after this incident. Is this a bonus in recognition of his scolding of the United States at the United Nations? Mordot felt sad in his heart.

Mordot is now desperate. No money, no technology, nothing. With no hope in sight, the sixty-year-old was exhausted. In order to keep this weak country running, he has exhausted his heart and soul.

And when he was most desperate, he even wanted to commit suicide and apologize after announcing these things to the people. Roberto, a super-rich man from South America, found him: "I am interested in Tuvalu, and 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 is a gift to Mordot. But Roberto did have arrogant conditions, and the current Mordot has long since lost any bargaining chips. The entire country has less than thirteen years left to live.

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

"Mr. Roberto's special plane hasn't arrived yet?" Mordot anxiously looked at the airport not far away through the presidential mansion. This so-called presidential residence is just a nicely built small villa. This villa is located not far from Tuvalu Airport. Because this is the highest place in the country and the safest place.

Just as Mordot's secretary was about to answer Mordot's question, they heard the roar of the plane's engine in the distance. Not that old airliner, but a high-end private jet produced by Gulfstream.

The Tuvalu side had already made preparations. When Katie and his party got off the plane, special greeters led them to the presidential residence.

As for sending a special car to pick up and drop off, it doesn't exist. The country is so small that cycling is not enough. Cars and the like are waste and decoration here. There are no gas stations in the country.

Mordot had long been waiting for the arrival of Katie and his party outside the presidential mansion. His suit today has been well-trimmed, making him look extra-spirited.

He saw the Brazilian rich man Roberto from a distance, and when he approached, Modote eagerly stepped forward to shake hands with him: "Welcome Mr. Roberto. If your company is willing to settle Tuvalu If you are a citizen of the country, please feel free to recruit workers in your country!"

Hearing what Mordot said, Roberto just smiled. He patted Mordot on the shoulder and said to him: "Mr. President, this time I have nothing to say. You have to listen to this lady. Please discuss with her how to talk and what terms to use. I just come here responsible for paying the bill."

"?" Mordot looked in the direction of Roberto's finger in disbelief, a young and beautiful girl. Mordot swore the girl was no older than his granddaughter.

Katie smiled and said to Mordot: "Mr. President, let's go to the conference room first and talk."

It wasn't until Katie spoke that Mordot suddenly realized that the people who came this time were too young. Almost looked like a high school kid, if it weren't for the fact that Roberto was actually real. Mordot almost suspected that he had encountered a group of crooks.

But what is Tuvalu to lie about? Even trafficking people to foreign countries is much better than staying on this small island and waiting to die. Mordot smiled to himself.

In the conference room of the presidential mansion, Katie's companions used their mutant abilities to check around for monitoring, monitoring, or other unsafe things.

It was only after confirming that the entire room was safe that he nodded to Katie. Now this seventeen-year-old girl has officially become the leader of this group of young mutants. Even Remy, the card king, was dragged to suppress the scene.

After watching a group of young people finish their work, Mordot said, "About Costa Group's recruitment of workers in this country..." He still thought Roberto was here to recruit workers.

Mordot has made a lot of filings before, about helping citizens to obtain some necessary guarantees for work, and so on. Although working as a refugee must be a very hard and low-paying job, the old President Mordot always wants to get a little more benefits.

Katie stretched out her hand to signal Mordot to stop: "Mr. President, we are not here to recruit workers. We are here to buy something from you!"

"Buy something? What to buy?" Mordot originally picked up the folder to introduce the population of Tuvalu to everyone, but had to put it down at this time. He wondered if these people were really liars.

Because Tuvalu can no longer see anything of value except cheap labor. Apart from the vast expanse of blue ocean outside, Mordot didn't know what else could be sold in this country.

Could it be that you want to buy some sardines? The old man thought wildly.

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