Chapter 237: A Man Who Got Out of Lower Interests
The conscience of heaven and earth, the death of Charles Lee, Gu Kun didn't know about it at all, and he didn't care about it.
After all, this was not part of Gu Kun's plan, he had never thought of plotting against a foreign fishing tycoon, nor did he feel that any fishery tycoon was qualified to be his opponent and be carefully plotted by him.
Gu Kunke is a supergiant whose career spans N fields, and he is very busy.
At this moment, he devoted more energy to the work of understanding and preventing slaves, and paid attention to the work of the "Yonghua" in the Banda Sea to cooperate with the Indonesians to suppress bandits, eliminate pirates and free slaves in the Banda Sea.
Some people may wonder why Gu Kun has such an abrupt change, originally just using the suppression of bandits and the rescue of slaves as a tool to gain prestige, but now he is suddenly willing to work harder.
This is also to blame the relevant people of the AFP, who suddenly sent a good news to Gu Kun in recent days.
The news was conveyed through Pierre's reporter, and about a few days ago, Pierre made an international call to Gu Kun, which read:
"Dear Gu, allow me to convey to you a personal good news about me, the president has already told me that the next Pulitzer Prize, Jeanne and I are almost certain. The memoirs of me and her in the past two years, as well as some other peripheral materials, have also been sorted out, and have been found by a publishing house for publication, and they are being urgently printed in the past two days, and they will be available at any time, and I will send you a few copies when the time comes. ”
Gu Kun was very pleased: "Congratulations, give me the manuscript of the French version, and I will fund you to publish the Chinese version and promote it in the Chinese-speaking world." ”
Pierre's tone was a little grateful: "You are so righteous and squandering, you deserve to be one of the most noble people in the world." I have one more piece of good news for you.
You know that your previous act of rescuing slaves, and later, resisting the pressure of the Indonesian side, calling on the Southeast Asian world to jointly solve the Indonesian slave problem, and after admitting your mistake on the Indonesian side, you took the initiative to assume international responsibilities that you did not need to pay and sent troops to help suppress the bandits and rescue the slaves.
This kind of kindness has attracted great attention from the international community, and many of our senior officials in France, who have cooperated with the Norwegian parliament, are suggesting that you be urgently added to the list of nominees for this year's Peace Bomb Award - if you can, it would be better to do more in the near future to help Indonesia fight bandits and save slaves, and deploy more military aid, which may help you win from several nominations.
The official announcement of the nominations, as you can see in the news today, will be decided on the last Friday of October, when it will be announced whether you can win the award, and the date of the award ceremony is set for December 10. ”
To tell the truth, when Gu Kun first heard the news, he was really shocked.
"What? Is what I'm doing so valuable? I mean it's worth such a big award?" He was still a little unconvinced, and it was also because he had never known about it before, and because of his Chinese ancestry, he had never had a good opinion of those juries.
In recent years, that is, since the 90s, black South Africans, South Asian natives in Pakistan, and leaders of certain organizations in Palestine have all won the Peace Bomb Award, and it is not monopolized by Westerners in Europe and the United States.
Even the most recent example from Gu Kun is that just four years ago, in 1996, the Peace Bomb Award was awarded to the leader of the National Front for Defence de libération (FNLF) in East Timor for suppressing East Timor's attempt to gain independence from Indonesia by force, and instead insisted on following the peaceful line and achieving the independence of East Timor.
Therefore, this peace bomb award is not so valuable, and the Chinese world feels that it is difficult to win, mainly due to the ideological hostility of the West to the East. In other words, because Gu Kun is a citizen of Lanfang and not a citizen of China, his nationality is Lanfang, and Lanfang is a country where capital pays attention, so there is no obstacle to ideological hostility.
In the eyes of those jury, Gu Kun and the leader of the East Timorese People's ZU Organization were almost natural people.
In this year's environment, the Peace Bomb Prize has no great competition, and if there is no one to award it, it will be awarded to a French doctor who has been practicing humanitarian medicine in Africa for decades and has advanced the development of medical infrastructure in some of Africa's least developed countries.
(Note: Because of the slight butterfly effect in the history of this world, there have been some changes in the rhythm of Nanbang's response to the Southeast Asian financial crisis, which has incidentally led to some changes in Nanbang's internal affairs and diplomacy.) Therefore, the "North-South Joint Statement", which was supposed to be completed in June this year, was completed ahead of schedule last year.
So the Kim commander of the South Stick used up last year's Peace Bomb Award slot. The nomination of the French doctor, who was supposed to win the award in 1999, was squeezed into this year. What everyone can't understand is that a mysterious force from the East has promoted this butterfly effect. As for the specific impact of the "North-South Joint Statement" that originally occurred in 2000, you can go to the relevant part of the public free chapter of "Entertainment Savior". )
Over the years, when there is no issue of war that requires good offices and mediation, it has become the norm for awards to be awarded to people and organizations engaged in the cause of humanitarian attention. You don't see these committees, UNICEF, UNHCR, ...... They are all regulars who have won more than once, and if they have nothing to do this year, they will choose one of them to be awarded.
Gu Kun can't do anything but the French doctor who organized the aid to Africa?
Therefore, in the face of Gu Kun's shock, Pierre felt that he was a little taken for granted, and there was nothing to be shocked about:
"Why? Don't you think you're not doing enough? You're too modest. It can only be said that you do not fully understand the meaning of what you have done, which is really a big voice, and the elephant is invisible.
You should think of it this way: It is now the turn of the century, since the disintegration of the evil Lucia, the process of economic globalization promoted by the Oceania countries has also been pushed forward for eight years, and I heard that China's accession to the WTO is also expected.
At a time when the world is fully embracing the dividends of globalization and entering the new century, it is you who have sounded the clarion call to solve the last link of slavery production in the global international trade industry chain, which has not only rescued so many people and exposed the truth, but also urged the joint improvement of the minimum level of labor security for all mankind, which is definitely worthy of a peace bomb award. ”
Gu Kun listened while touching his beard, and felt that it didn't seem too much to be interpreted like this.
AS MENTIONED EARLIER, THE FISHING INDUSTRY IS THE MOST VULNERABLE INDUSTRY IN THE WORLD TO "WORKERS FROM COUNTRIES WITH HIGH HUMAN STANDARDS WHO ARE BEING DRAGGED DOWN BY SLAVE LABOR FROM COUNTRIES WITH LOW SECURITY". Just because the sea has no borders, foreign ships can come and work in the ocean at any time.
You may not see that the labor security in Chile and Argentina has done so well, but it has not worked, and the fishermen in Chile and Argentina either continue to endure slavery that is actually below the lower limit of the country's laws, or they are unemployed. BECAUSE IF THE GENTRINIAN AND CHILE FISHERMEN WERE MORE SERIOUS, THEIR WORK WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY BY THE RECKLESS FISHING BOATS THAT USED TO GRAB THE WORK ACROSS THE PACIFIC.
The problem of residual fishing slaves in Indonesia is not only a problem of Indonesia, it is not even a problem of the Southeast Asian world, but a problem of the whole world. Slavery exists in international trade in fisheries, and it is the minimum guarantee for all human fishermen.
Therefore, Gu Kun's feat is not only to relieve the defense of the Lanfang people or the Burmese Cambodians who were abducted and sold by Indonesian slave owners, but also to fight for the fishermen of all mankind.
Once it reaches this height, is there a problem with the bomb prize? How many years before the winners have contributed to the humanitarian attention of all mankind are not as good as this?
Speaking of this, Gu Kun has no doubts about "who else can I be" in his heart, he just still has some doubts about the timeliness: "Pierre, thank you for your interpretation, but I still have some doubts, I just made a righteous act at the beginning of this month, and now I am nominated immediately, is it too fast?
Pierre was not at all surprised, and said as a matter of course: "What is the problem with this? The question of peace should be to envy evil as hatred, and to reward good as good." The Peace Bomb Awards are almost always given to current events within a year or two, and priority is given to current events that are significant enough. At that time, there was no current affairs to choose from those ongoing causes that had served for decades.
Last year, the commander of the South Bon National Gold did not sign a peace treaty that year, and won the award in a blink of an eye. In addition, in previous years, there was no shortage of young people who won awards, and this award is different from those scientific awards, which do not need to wait for scientific contributions to be proven and have a practical effect on the technological progress of all mankind. ”
A few years later, there was a teenage girl in Pakistan who won the award because she had participated in the struggle for equal education rights for women in Pakistan.
Gu Kun's age and the timeliness of his deeds do not seem to be a problem.
......
It was precisely after getting such heavy news from Pierre and AFP's senior management that Gu Kun's enthusiasm for the great cause of suppressing bandits and rescuing slaves pushed the boat to a new level.
Gu Kun is now in a situation where the relationship with the Bretons and Australians is already relatively stiff, and he has not officially turned his face with the Oceanic country, which is more delicate.
However, as long as Gu Kun continues to rise and reveals his true nature more and more on the South China Sea issue, when the Oceanic countries "return to the Asia-Pacific" in the future, the days when Gu Kun is not pleasing to the eye will come sooner or later.
Therefore, taking advantage of the window period of these years, it is always better to stick a little more international prestige on yourself, and a little more gold medal and immortal gold body.
In comparison, what is it for a destroyer and several coast guard boats to go out to perform some tasks and consume some more ammunition and fuel consumables?
Count your 130mm naval artillery shells for tens of thousands of yuan, and after 300 rounds of a sortie, it will be thousands of them, and the expensive goods like missiles will basically not be used against pirates, and they are all cheap consumables. All things considered, a destroyer carrying out a mission and exhausting all the materials on board except for missiles, plus personnel salaries, incentives, and medical subsidies, will not exceed 50 million yuan.
For Gu Kun, the cost of 50 million operations is used as training. Compared to the income from intangible assets, these costs are not a problem.
