Chapter 549: "Weiyuan" Internationalization!
The list of countries that have declared independence through referendums is too numerous to mention, and it is not without precedents for joining another country through referendums. www.biquge.info The instability of the Comoros regime and the independence of the major islands are obvious, and it is clear that the people do not approve of the Comoros government. On the contrary, the people of the islands yearn for the reunification of France and hope to be treated far beyond that of the Comoros! Therefore, if they were to choose to join a rich and powerful country, they would not resist in their hearts.
The Williams Empire started slowly, but it grew fast, it was rich, it had high welfare, it was militarily strong, and most importantly - the Williams Empire was a neighbor of the Comoros!!
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
No matter how good France is, can it take care of the Comoros Islands from so far away? Mayotte is an overseas department of France, and although it also enjoys some of the benefits of France, the country is still poor, but the people of the other islands of the Comoros live better than the people of the other islands of the Comoros.
After some communication, Henry had reached an agreement with the leaders of the four Comorian islands, but he still had to make a show in front of him.
The next morning, they gathered for a meeting to discuss the sovereignty of the islands of the Comoros under the chairmanship of Henry.
From the very beginning of the meeting, the smell of gunpowder was full, and the four islands quarreled endlessly, and no one would budge.
"The referendum on the island of Anjouan has become independent from the Comoros, so it is absolutely impossible for the island of Anjouan to submit to the rule of the Comoros government!"
"Mayotte is an overseas department of France, and the Comoros government has no right to interfere with our regime!"
"Moheli has also declared independence, and the Comoros government has no right to interfere in anything on Moheli!"
"The four islands of the Comoros are an inalienable part, and the Government of the Comoros will certainly safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity!!
“……”
Seeing this, everyone persuaded them, but in the middle of the meeting, the leaders of Anjouan Island took the lead in slapping the table and leaving.
"Don't talk about it! Anyway, in a word, it is not the turn of the Comoros government to take care of the affairs of Anjouan!"
With a "bang", he slammed the door and left.
"I'm not going to talk about it anymore!"
"I'm not going to talk about it anymore......"
Immediately afterwards, the two leaders of Moheli and Mayotte also left their seats.
The leaders of the Great Comorro Island watched them leave one by one, their faces pale.
"Thank you for your help in mediation, but as you can see, the other side is extremely stubborn and insincere!" said the leader of the Grand Comoros Island, standing up and leaving in a huff!
......The three presidents of South Africa, Mauritius and Seychelles were a little confused, and they couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't understand what happened to the leaders of the four islands of the Comoros, they were like they had eaten gunpowder, and their tempers were so short-tempered!
The meeting broke up unhappily.
In the afternoon of the same day, the leaders of the four Comoros islands flew back to their respective islands. The protagonists are gone, and it stands to reason that the other presidents will leave. However, only the president of South Africa left the Williams empire that day, while the presidents of Mauritius and Seychelles stayed behind to talk to Henry.
Henry took them to his office.
"President Brian and President Picole, what do you want to drink?" coffee, or ......," Henry asked as he waited for them to sit down.
"A glass of water will do!" said Mauritian President Brian.
"Me too!" said Seychelles President Picole.
Henry glanced at Welllet, who immediately went to pour water.
Henry's gaze then turned to the two presidents.
Seychelles is an archipelagic country in the Indian Ocean in East Africa, a member of the British Commonwealth, along with the Williams Empire, but with a population of less than 90,000. Half of the territory is a nature reserve, enjoying the reputation of "a tourist's paradise", and the country's main income depends on the consumption of inbound tourists! Henry still remembers that when he took his wife on a trip around the world, Seychelles was one of the stops, and the scenery was picturesque and really charming. When Henry and the others left, the local government of Seychelles also gave him a "sea coconut" seed, which is very similar to **********!
Since the independence of Mauritius in 1968, successive governments have attached great importance to improving and developing laws and regulations, and have strongly encouraged local and overseas entrepreneurs to invest. These policies have shifted the economy from an agrarian to an industrial-based economy. Moreover, a free market economy and a stable, democratic government and a modern service sector have made Mauritius the country with the highest per capita income among developing countries in Africa, ranking 54th in the world for quality of life and first among African and Indian Ocean countries.
Due to the stability of the regimes in both countries and the good living conditions of the people, the possibility of joining the Williams empire is very small.
Henry didn't dare to expect this, but if these two countries could use the currency of the Williams Empire, it would be a good example to promote Weiyuan as an international currency!
Obviously, in the future, the Williams Empire will be the country that will have the greatest influence on Mauritius and the Seychelles, whether it is trade, financial investment, or tourists, it must rely on the Williams Empire. Seychelles and Mauritius are both resource-poor countries, and the vast majority of products need to be purchased from the outside world, to be precise, from the Williams Empire in the future! In this case, if the two sides use Weiyuan to trade, it is more direct and more convenient than using the US dollar to trade. If Seychelles and Mauritius recognise Wei Yuan, they can also save dollars in foreign exchange for both countries. It seems that there is no harm in all the benefits!
At this time, Viellett poured two glasses of water and placed them in front of their table.
Henry's face was full of emotion, and he asked in a light tone, "What do you two want to talk to me about?"
"Oh, yes, President Picol and I both want to strengthen our partnership with the Williams Empire!" Mauritian President Brian said, taking a sip of water.
"What exactly?"
"It's everything, but for now, it's mainly tourism and commodity trade!" Brian said, "and when the Williams empire is strong, there will definitely be people who want to travel." We hope to attract some tourists from the Williams Empire, and at the same time import some machinery and equipment, vehicles, daily necessities, food, oil, etc...... In addition, the products of our two countries can also be exported to the Williams Empire!"
"Yes, no problem!, but ......," said Henry, frowning deliberately.
Seychelles President Picole hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty Williams, but what?"
"Trade between two countries usually requires the use of foreign exchange in US dollars. However, I just don't think there's a need to waste dollars in trade between us, and we can use another currency in our place!" Henry paused as he spoke, observing their gazes, which were evidently lost in thought.
At this time, Henry continued: "I think that the Weiyuan issued by the Williams Empire is a good alternative currency! Presumably, you yourself should know that the Williams Empire will definitely be the largest trading country between Seychelles and Mauritius in the future, and the Weiyuan will inevitably have a huge influence, and if both Seychelles and Mauritius recognize Weiyuan, I can promise to lend interest-free loans to the two of you! According to the national conditions of your two countries, the Williams Empire can lend Seychelles 5 billion Weiyuan and Mauritius 10 billion Weiyuan! ”
