Chapter 347: The Current Situation in Idavia
After a flight of 10,000 miles, the plane landed at the capital airport in Idavia, and the group came out through the VIP passage, and the dark-skinned local airport personnel saw them and showed a sincere smile, black skin and white teeth complemented each other, "Welcome to Idavia." β
The pronunciation is actually authentic Chinese!
It was Guo Xiong who came to pick up Yang Pingfan, who was wearing a pair of gray-yellow military pants, a solid-color T-shirt, his exposed muscles were tanned, and he wore a straw hat with local characteristics.
"Lao Guo, the weather is too hot, we women and children, send us to the hotel first, after resting, you have a chance to perform. β
Guo Xiong nodded, stepped on the accelerator, and the car turned onto the highway into the city.
Yang Pingfan looked outside through the car window, on the asphalt-poured road, the new electric car made in the Ming Dynasty was speeding away, and he almost didn't see a gasoline car, Idavia is a savannah climate, and the dry season and rainy season are distinct, but rows of windbreaks are planted on both sides of the road, green and pleasant, Yang Pingfan's eyesight can even see the drip irrigation system at the root of the windbreak, it is they that block the invasion of the dry season sand.
In the observation room, a black shadow passed quickly, Yang Pingfan opened the car window and looked up, and found that it was a mini aerial vehicle, and after a while, it was another flying by, Guo Xiong saw Yang Pingfan's doubts, and took the initiative to explain: "Unexpectedly, China is still arguing for the opening of air routes and flight licenses, Idavia has fully opened air taxis, and not far in front of it is the world's largest air taxi driver's license training center." β
The training center is built on the prairie, shaped like a sea bowl magnified countless times, where countless air taxi coaches rise and fall, looking like a swarm of bees from afar.
The airport is not far from the capital city, and the car quickly enters the city. The capital of Idavia is a brand new city, almost built in less than three years, and the buildings are all under 63 floors, which is the highest investment-to-return ratio of high-rise buildings. The exterior of the building is blue-grey, and it is the solar panels. Tall rainforest plants surround the building, Yang Pingfan rolled down the car window, there was no trace of gasoline or smog in the air, this is simply a garden city.
The street is as clean as new, the wide road, the number of electric cars is very small, but it is in the air, the whistling shuttle back and forth are air cars, the number is even more than the location of the headquarters of the X company, the street is full of people, black and yellow people account for half, black is native, yellow is the Ming people who come to work, almost no old people, all young people, full of energy, most of the smiling on the street, the style of clothes worn also follows the trend, the shadow of the least developed countries can not be seen at all.
Yang Pingfan was amazed, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this was the least developed country that the outside media said." You know no, this scene reminds me of a Marvel superhero movie from more than a decade ago - Black Panther, the hidden country in it, and Wakanda is nothing more than that. β
Guo Xiong nodded, "After Prime Minister Lizzie Nick took office, he handed over the national construction to Company X, and our company's current ability to concentrate all resources and do a good job in a country is just a general operation." β
While talking, the group has arrived at the Itavia Hotel, which is also a five-star hotel invested and built by Company X, which solves the embarrassing problem of the central government of Itavia and the hotel working together.
The car drove directly into the elevator, two heavily armed security guards stood guard in front of the elevator, Guo Xiong was a big celebrity in the Idavia army, and the two security guards were retired soldiers, who recognized him, raised their hands and saluted a standard military salute, and when they saw that the instructor actually drove the guests in person, his face showed undisguised surprise.
The elevator will send the car to the predetermined floor, and the room is out of the door, the top presidential suite, with its own swimming pool, and you can see the yellowed prairie in the distance on the balcony, the two little ones are already sleepy, Su Yu took them to the room to rest, Li Lan cheered and changed his clothes and prepared to swim, Guo Xiong put down his luggage and whispered to Yang Pingfan: "The meeting has been arranged, and the prime minister is waiting for you." β
Yang Pingfan nodded, greeted Li Lan, and walked to the balcony, the balcony of the presidential suite is attached to the sky car parking apron, which can take off directly, and the two got into the car and flew towards the government building.
Halfway through, Yang Pingfan turned on the projector and looked through the information, only to know how complicated the inside story was.
Idavia has established its own feudal state in history, and later fell under the successive invasions of European colonizers, and became colonies of John and Gaul respectively, in the wave of African national liberation in the last century, the local warlords took the opportunity to rise up, and became a unified country after independence from the suzerain, and the special history caused the two suzerains to have a very large influence within their own countries, which is manifested in the situation, that is, these two mining areas.
Idavia's independence was born deformed, and it was not so much to win independence through military struggle, but because poverty made the suzerainty unbearable, so that it took the initiative to become independent, and in line with the purpose of getting rid of negative assets, they allowed independence, and at the same time, they took the only two valuable minerals in Idavia as their own, and signed a 99-year mining right with the independent government in exchange.
After the internal political turmoil in Idavia, there were frequent changes of government, and there were not without politicians who wanted to nationalize the two mineral deposits, but without exception, as long as they put forward this idea, or even as long as they showed that they wanted to change the content of the treaty, or wanted to participate in the shareholding, they were ousted by a coup d'Γ©tat, and the force of the coup d'Γ©tat was the two warlords entrenched in the mining area.
In order to protect their stolen goods more comprehensively, the two countries have coincidentally fostered armed forces in the areas where the mines are located, and these forces are entrenched in the states where the mining areas are located, and all the expenses for weapons, medicines, food, military expenses, grain, and straw are paid by the mining companies, as if they are private security forces, which usually do not listen to the central government of Idavia, but as soon as the central government shows signs of being interested in the mining areas, they will march into the capital, and change an obedient prime minister to come up, more loyal than the mining companies than dogs.
This is only one aspect, the two warlords entrenched in the province, accounting for 20% of the country's population, as long as the emperor is comfortable, you can close the door and become the emperor of the soil, the total population of Idavia is about 5 million, 20% It is 1 million people, after more than two years of investment and construction of Company X regardless of the cost, Idavia takes the capital as the core, radiates out most of the country, and has undergone earth-shaking changes, but the state where the mining area is located not only does not allow Company X to enter, but even blocks the state border, sets up checkpoints, and does not allow ordinary people to enter and exit casually, becoming a real country within a country, a cordon, inside and outside the wall, the level of development, is simply the contrast between hell and heaven.
By the time Yang Pingfan arrived, the following had become the norm: the warlord district connived at the soldiers to go to the central district to rob and other criminal activities, and then returned to the warlord district, and the warlord soldiers on guard intercepted the police in the central district by force and did not allow the police in the central district to enter the search; young people who sneaked through the cordon to work in order to live a better life were arrested by the law enforcement team composed of warlords and tribal elders, and so on.
Yang Pingfan skimmed through the information and concluded: "Isn't this just a copy of the loan." β
Guo Xiong smacked his lips, "Come on, say that the concession is still to lift them, the concession of old China back then, at least on the surface, was more advanced than the surroundings, and this one in front of me, tsk, is simply the contrast between the north and the south peninsula." β
Yang Pingfan was noncommittal about Guo Xiong's analogy and asked another question, "How is the situation of the company?"
"Overall ok, but there were a few robberies. β
Yang Pingfan frowned, "Robbery?
Guo Xiong smiled bitterly, "Arrest, how to catch? In the final analysis, it is still the original sin, according to the treaty, in Idavia, the warlord area enjoys special legal rights, and their people can only be judged by them, if you arrest it, the next day they will send someone to directly smash the police station, our people will arrest it, and the soldiers on the defense line of the people have opened the safety of their guns, is it difficult to fight with them?" That's a blatant violation of the treaty, and when the time comes, whether people will use this as an excuse to directly send troops to push it over, or to sanction Idavia internationally, it's a matter of one sentence, you know, rare earth and titanium resources, under our mixing, any little wind and grass will attract the attention of the world. β
Yang Pingfan shook his head, "I kind of understand why Liu Yuan sent me." β
Lizzie Nick met Yang Pingfan in the office, this is a young man who is a little blessed, it is rare to be the prime minister of a country at such an age, I saw him wearing a decent suit and spraying strong cologne, which made Yang Pingfan frown slightly.
After the two people shook hands, they respectively put on simultaneous interpretation headphones, and after a brief greeting, the prime minister went straight to the point, and now people in the warlord area use other parts of the country as ATMs, although the actual loss is not large, but the impact is not small.
As mentioned earlier, due to the inclination of resources at any cost of Company X, the young people of Idavia have received brain networking education and can enjoy brain networking surfing services without walls.
The young people of Idavia, who were active-minded, soon discovered that there were two such countries in their own country, and what was even more infuriating was extraterritoriality, and when the other party used himself as an ATM and a public toilet, he could take it as he wanted, come as he wanted, and leave as he wanted, that anger finally broke out.
