Chapter 148: Tuvalu Coup: The Mutant Founding Incident (1)

Katie has been very, very busy lately, so busy that she doesn't have time to rest and sit down for a quiet meal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoEspecially after meeting Roberto, the super-rich man in Brazil.

Roberto, who is ostensibly the richest man in Brazil and one of the most important suppliers of raw materials in the world, has the most important identity in addition to these superficial identities that he is also a mutant. And it is also an alpha-class mutant who has evolved quite a high degree among mutants.

It has a super flame (more accurately, it should be called atomic fission) ability, and is nicknamed Sunspot. When Katie asks for his help, the proud young man refuses. Because in relation to ordinary low-level mutants. With the status of the world's richest man, he will not be subjected to any so-called discrimination against mutants.

Eventually, however, he was persuaded by Katie's words, and agreed to Katie's help in her seemingly unbelievable plan to build a nation!

Yes, the super-rich Roberto has come up with a bold and more operational solution, which is to buy a country!

Sounds a bit ridiculous, doesn't it? If a country is not a goods, how can it be bought and sold at will? And what sovereign country would give up its territory? Isn't it afraid of being rubbed on the back by future generations?

In fact, the real world is sometimes more absurd than novels and movies. Even more magical, such as buying and selling countries, can be operated in real reality.

Especially in today's society, the large-scale activities of human beings have caused various greenhouse gas emissions, which have caused glaciers in the north and south poles to melt and sea levels to rise.

This has left many coastal countries, especially island nations, facing an embarrassment that the sea is encroaching on their territory. For mainland countries, or large island countries such as the Orient, a few centimeters of sea level rise is not a big deal for these two countries.

But for some small island nations, every centimeter of sea level rise is frightening. For example, in the Maldives, a world-famous tourist destination.

This picturesque island nation is facing such problems, with the most optimistic estimates predicting that the Maldives will be completely submerged by 2100, and before that by 2070, the country will become uninhabitable.

This is the time of destruction when the national countdown can already begin, and most Maldivian citizens will see their country submerged and completely disappeared in their lifetime.

The president and government of the Maldives have long been planning to buy land overseas, buying plots of land from countries that are willing to sell their land, and preparing to move their citizens out before the sea completely floods the country.

It must be said that the Maldives are still lucky, although they may be submerged by the sea, but at least they still have time, and most importantly, they have money!

As one of the world's most famous tourist destinations, the Maldives has amassed considerable wealth through tourism, which is the main reason why they have the financial resources to buy land overseas and obtain financial loans from international banks.

Although they are also island countries, not all island countries have the same unique natural conditions as the Maldives.

For example, Tuvalu, a small island nation with a small name. The country covers an area of only 26 square kilometers. The country has a population of about 11,000 people, and the country's annual gross output value is less than $17 million, and its per capita output value is less than $2,000.

The fourth smallest country in the world, it is also the least developed country in the world. The tragedy of Tuvalu can be ignored as small as a speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

The country's president has repeatedly called for the reduction of greenhouse emissions and the slowing of sea level rise. But because the country is weak, the words that come out are like being treated as farts.

It is not for nothing that the president of the country is in such a hurry and even openly criticizes the United States with irritating statements at the UN General Assembly. This is because the highest point in the country is only 4.7 meters above sea level. Most of the country's land is only a few centimeters or a dozen centimeters below sea level.

At the rate of rising sea levels, the most optimistic estimates are that 60 percent of the country's land area will be swallowed by sea by 2050.

In fact, the rate of sea level rise has been increasing this year. At the current rate, at most, half of the country's territory will be submerged in the Pacific Ocean by 2030.

And there are only 13 years left before the countdown to the country's demise. Sadly, as the world's least developed country, Tuvalu simply has no money to build dams to protect against the sea or improve the topography of its own country.

Overseas land purchases are even more impossible. International banks have repeatedly rejected the country's loan requests, and later simply dismissed it as if there was no such country in the world.

Moreover, a number of countries have made it clear that Tuvalu nationals are denied entry as refugees. The global media turned a blind eye to this small country, pretending that the world was not like this country at all.

Even if this country does have a seat in the United Nations and is a globally recognized sovereign state.

No country is willing to help Tuvalu, after all, it is a matter that has little to gain at all. And how to accept a group of refugees is also a big problem.

No one is going to be this Virgin for no reason, this is not a Libyan refugee incident, there is still fame and political capital to be made in that incident. Tuvalu's, who's in charge, who's unlucky.

So the whole world watched with an unusually indifferent attitude as the country began to move towards the abyss of death.

In 2017-2030, in just thirteen years, half of the land will be lost, and the remaining land area will be unsuitable for human habitation. Residents of all Tuvalu live in fear and depression.

A handful of nationals with money or overseas connections have long tried to flee the country by all means. Now all that is left in this country are poor people who have nowhere to go.

The only way this tiny island nation communicates with the outside world is an airfield built here by the U.S. military during World War II. Every month, a 30-seater aircraft with an over-service period will transport residents here.

And today, Katie and her friends set foot on the island nation for the first time. When Roberto's luxury plane lands in this impoverished and backward country, a great event is about to take place that will change the sad fate of the country and its people, and will completely rewrite the entire history of mutants.

Katie wore light sneakers as she walked through Tuvalu's airport, which looked so old that it looked like it should have been scrapped a long time ago. She was followed by a group of companions she had rallied.

A group of young but passionate mutants. They know what they're waiting for today to do. The only middle-aged man who appears to be older is the guardian of a young student named Twilight, who is the leader of the West Coast League of Assassins and the Thieves' Guild, Remy, nicknamed the Brand Emperor.

It's a crazy world, it's a turbulent time. As an old mutant powerhouse, the card emperor would never have thought that he would one day be dragged to such a backward country by such a group of young people in such a way.

Because this time the mutant nation is about to be founded!
