While others were shocked and puzzled, Somalis expressed strong support for the government's decision. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the months since Somalia joined the Weiyuan system, the lives of Somalis have improved markedly, but they are still very poor. During this period, the Somali government has been doing non-stop propaganda work, publicizing the gap between the former Madagascar and the current Williams Empire, how the Comoros became rich and powerful after joining the Williams Empire, and how Mogadishu was ceded by the Williams Empire.

Although there is a lot of propaganda, it is repeatedly telling Somalis one thing: by joining the Williams Empire, Somalis can become rich!

As a matter of fact, the Somali government does not need to be brainwashed, and Somalis also very much want to join the Williams Empire, and those who can smuggle people into the Williams Empire will be smuggled into the Williams Empire as much as possible, and once they become citizens of the Williams Empire, they will be able to enjoy medical care, education, subsistence allowance, pension and other benefits, in short, they will not starve and freeze, and they will still have a house to live in! As Somalis learn more and more about the Williams Empire, the desire to join the Williams Empire will become stronger and stronger. The government's announcement of Somalia's accession to the Williams Empire was just what everyone longed for, and it was immediately supported by tremendous support! The whole country rejoiced and marched to celebrate!

The whole world was dumbfounded, I didn't expect such a situation to exist. However, those who have not been to Somalia do not know about Somalia. The civil war in Somalia has lasted not for a year or two, but for decades, and the Somali people have been devastated by war and hunger, and their fate is so tragic, how they want a peaceful life, how much they want a strong country to rely on!

There is an old Chinese saying that "Zifei Yu knows the joy of fish", and how can the Somali people's thoughts be understood by those who sit back and enjoy peace and prosperity?

Henry invited the world's major media and held a grand press conference, announcing: "The Williams Empire agrees with the decision of the Somali government, and we are willing to accept Somalis and Somalis! The Williams Empire is a multi-ethnic integrated country, we have Malagasy people, Comoroans, and so on more than 10 nationalities, and from today onwards, there will be one more ethnic group in the Williams Empire, and that is the Somalis!"

Henry's impassioned speech touched the hearts of everyone present, including those who watched the live broadcast.

And at this moment, Somalia suddenly broke out into extremely excited shouts, and countless people hugged each other and cried, the scene was touching!

"Great, we're citizens of the Williams Empire now!"

"Mom, we've become citizens of the Williams Empire, will we never go hungry again?" asked a skinny five or six-year-old boy with a dirty face to his mother next to him, his gaze not so innocent and carefree as an ordinary child, but a helpless look that almost heartbreaked......

An emaciated black woman hugged the little boy tightly, pressed it to his head, and said in a slightly choked voice: "Yes, child, we will never go hungry again!"

On the screen of Henry's press conference, pictures and videos from Somalia were constantly played, and through the live broadcast, these pictures and video images were also seen by hundreds of millions of people.

Netizens can't help but leave messages on Facebook, Weibo, Twitter and other platforms.

"Somalis look so pitiful, joining the Williams Empire is the right choice for them!"

"yes, it couldn't be more correct!"

“……”

In fact, the US Government quickly prevented Somalia from joining the Williams Empire, but more and more people watched the live press conference of the Williams Empire, and people could not help but feel strong sympathy for the Somalis, and then expressed their support for Somalia's decision to join the Williams Empire! If the United States intervenes to stop it at this time, it will certainly be criticized and abused by people all over the world! In addition, Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai -- one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and the Somali country itself has decided to join the Williams Empire. And it doesn't have the power to do anything about it!!

Towards the end of the press conference, Henry couldn't help but shout.

"From this day on, Somalia is officially part of the Williams Empire!!"

"Williams Empire, sacrosanct!!"

As soon as Henry's words fell, the same voice rang out in Somalia, Madagascar, Comoros, Socotra and other places.

"Williams Empire, sacrosanct!!"

"Williams Empire, sacrosanct!!"

“……”

The voice was deafening and resounding for nine days, and countless people who watched the live broadcast couldn't help but boil their blood!

After the press conference, many countries sent congratulatory messages congratulating the Williams empire on getting Somalia.

The original area of the Williams Empire was 600,000 square kilometers, and the area of Somalia was 637,000 square kilometers, which was larger than the Williams Empire, and now, Somalia was incorporated into the Williams Empire, and the area of the Williams Empire suddenly became 1.237 million square kilometers, surpassing South Africa's 1.221 million square kilometers, ranking 24th in the world!

China is 9.601 million square kilometers, the United States is 9.364 million square kilometers, compared to them, the Williams empire is still far behind. Now, the area of the Williams Empire is more than enough. Madagascar and Somalia have long coastlines, so the sea area is also quite large, and if you count the sea area, the Williams Empire can be ranked much higher.

When Henry returned to the office, he couldn't help but think that Somalia had been incorporated into the Williams Empire, and if Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tan~San~Nepal~Ya and Malawi could also be incorporated into the Williams Empire, then the total area would suddenly become 3.491 million square kilometers, surpassing India's 3.28 million square kilometers and ranking seventh in the world.

"Your Majesty, the population of Somalia is nearly 8 million, and there is a lot of relief food that needs to be distributed!" Villewlett made Henry a glass of water, and then said with some emotion.

"Send it, I can still afford 8 million people!"

"Your Majesty, do you know how much the price of grain has risen now?" said Welllet, "Your Majesty, the grain grown on the farms you control accounts for 15.2% of the annual market share of grain exports, which can solve the problem of food and clothing for 120 million people. But since you established the Williams Empire, you have reduced the amount of grain you export, and naturally, the price of global food exports has started to rise year by year, and from 2003 to 2005, the price per ton of rice has risen by $340. After Somalia is incorporated into the Williams Empire, the price of food must also rise a lot!"

"I can't help it," Henry said with a smile, "Anyway, the Williams Empire is not short of food. The price of food has risen, but it is good for me, and other countries have to beg me in order to buy food cheaper!"

"Your Majesty, Japan has a very small land area, but its population is hundreds of millions, and it needs to buy a large amount of grain every year.

Well, it costs two and a half yuan to eat a bowl of rice, and it's too expensive, but I like it, and I have to eat Japan poorly!

……

A few days later, Henry had a large amount of food delivered to Somalia and a number of employment guidance officers were sent to train them to improve their employability. It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and if the pirate is used to it, he may not be able to do anything else. At the same time, a large number of engineering teams and architects have been dispatched to prepare for the construction of a large number of buildings in Somalia, to build public infrastructure and provide jobs for Somalis. In addition, we are also preparing to attract investment. Somalia's geographical location is excellent, it belongs to the "Horn of Africa", there are a lot of ships passing by, full of business opportunities, otherwise it would not breed the piracy industry! Before, Somalia was in the civil war, so no one dared to invest, but now Somalia belongs to the Williams Empire, and countless people can't help but rush to Somalia to invest, and they are afraid of sending money slowly!

Of course, there are still some Somali pirates here, but the navy of the Williams Empire is already clearing up, and the pirates have only one fate: destruction!

On March 2, the Somali pirates were largely wiped out, and the fleet remained on the island of Socotra. On the 4th, the Imperial convoy brought a large number of treasures, which were seized from the Somali pirate lair, including gold jewelry, various precious antiques, paintings and calligraphy, etc.

When Henry heard about the treasure seized from the pirate's lair, he was filled with curiosity to see what good treasure there was.

Storeroom.

An old man in a robe was the person in charge of the place, and he led Henry and the others as they walked and introduced the things inside.

"Your Majesty, there are many exotic jewelry necklaces, gold and silver jewelry, and countless old antiques from China, England, France, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Myanmar and Vietnam!"

"Is there anything special about it?"

Henry was dazzled by the dazzling array of things.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please come with me!"

With that, the old man in the storeroom led Henry forward, then turned a few corners, and finally stopped in front of a large box made of rosewood.

As soon as the box was opened, Henry was stunned, and it contained a huge bloodstone! Bloodstone is a cinnabar strip of ground stone, named after the bright red cinnabar that resembles chicken blood. Bloodstone contains cinnabar, quartz, chalcedony and other ingredients, and the yield is very small, which is very precious!

The old man introduced to Henry: "Your Majesty, the world's largest bloodstone weighs more than 50 tons, and it is the treasure of the Mingqinyuan Geological Museum in China. And although this bloodstone is only 30 kilograms, the bright red blood content is as high as 70%, a rare treasure in the world, and the value is more expensive than the largest bloodstone! Your Majesty, you see, its blood shape distribution is very unique, like a fire dragon soaring through the clouds, and the momentum is extremely extraordinary! And bloodstone like this is simply priceless! I am afraid it is the most expensive bloodstone in the world!"

The old man said that the sky was falling, but Henry couldn't see that the figure in the bloodstone was a fiery dragon soaring through the clouds? This TM was too abstract...... Henry couldn't help but think that when the tour guide introduced the attractions to tourists, he also described the sky, saying that the eight immortals crossed the sea, Chang'e looked at the moon, and the monkey stole peaches...... Ahem, it's all anyway, it doesn't look like it at all.

However, the only thing that the old man was right about was that such a piece of bloodstone was indeed worth a fortune.

"Your Majesty, you can let the master carver carve a little, it will be a peerless boutique, put it at home as decorations, it is not only powerful and beautiful, but also can avoid evil and evil!"

Henry nodded and said, "Very good, by the way, apart from bloodstone, are there any other special things here?"

"Something special?" the old man thought for a moment, "there seems to be a treasure map......
