Chapter 762: Overview of the Island
The Golden Palm is an internationally neutral place, and there is not even such a thing as sovereignty, it is completely a terra nullius.
But it is also on the busy international routes, and many ships pass through here, such as replenishing fresh water and food, and also replenishing fuel, so it is more important.
To this end, following the structure of the United Nations, the five major countries each stationed dozens of people to form a "Golden Palm Island Administrative Secretary".
This Chief Executive has a rotating chairman, and four ordinary directors. Anyway, it is a rotation, and each chairman serves for two months.
There are a few civilian members left to manage the day-to-day operations, plus a 100-strong police force – the only legal, overt armed force on the Palm of the Golden Palm. And this hundred people are evenly distributed, twenty people from each large country.
The Chief Superintendent of the Force is the rotating chairman, so the chief of the police force is also equivalent to taking turns to be the chief of the police. And the reason why Murong Qianli waited until this time to start acting was also because starting tomorrow, it would be the turn of the Chinese to be the chairman of the board of directors and the chief superintendent of the police force, which would be more convenient for Zhao Xuanji and their actions.
However, it must also be taken into account that in the event of a serious conflict, the first consideration of the detachments sent by each country is its own interests. Therefore, the Chief Superintendent may not be able to fully mobilize all police forces on the key issues of right and wrong.
The five major powers jointly managed it, and the ships of the rest of the countries could also pass freely. In addition to a part of the income generated by the Golden Palm Island to improve the island's environment and maintain the operation of the administrative department, it will be handed over to the United Nations as a public fund for the United Nations.
Therefore, it is not for profit that the five major powers have sent people to govern here, but just to maintain order, so other countries have nothing to complain about.
But just like any city on earth, there is a bright side and a dark side, and there is official power and civil power.
After all, the official only has a force organization of 100 people, but in fact the underground organization is thriving here. The most powerful is China's East China Sea Society, which has an inherent advantage due to its proximity to China. There are more than 200 "factory guards" here in the East China Sea alone, even more than the police sent by the five major countries.
In addition, the British Ocean Society, the American Foundation for Special Life Research also have a lot of influence here, of course, there are some other small organizations or gangs, and even some organizations that are said to have collusion with pirates, anyway, there is a mess of everything.
As a result, it is an "international city" with a complex number of people from all over the world. So it's not hard to do a complete destruction here, and even a small nuclear bomb can wipe it out, but the problem is that it can't be so rude and arbitrary.
If nothing else, at least the interests of the Chinese and Chinese companies on the island, you can't ignore it.
There is also Du Tiecheng, chairman of the board of directors from China, who will take office tomorrow, and dozens of Chinese staff members, so we can't ignore their safety.
But even so, Murong Qianli didn't say "don't hurt the innocent", but just put forward a basic requirement that has almost no bottom line - "leave no evidence".
It's worth playing.
Murong Qianli continued: "Chairman Du Tiecheng, in fact, was also a senior policeman when he was in China, and he was very familiar with the Special Operations Bureau and Dragon Tooth. This person can be absolutely trusted and will be an important help to you on the island. ”
This is a very good external condition.
Then he asked Zhao Xuanji and Xiaoshu to prepare, and he also had to contact Yirong's agency. But when Zhao Xuanji was about to leave the small courtyard, Murong Qianli added one more thing:
"I forgot to tell you that I am now the commander-in-chief of the Yanhuang Martyrs Brigade. I hope that one day you will figure it out and take over my former position as Deputy Commander-in-Chief as soon as possible – I have high expectations for you. ”
"Uh...... I'll talk about it later, but I'll congratulate you first, uncle. Zhao Xuanji said, "Is it that Durrani has made great contributions in this battle, so he has been promoted." ”
Murong Qianli shook his head: "I have done a lot of tasks in my life, and it is much more thrilling than this trip to Durrani Country." The reason for my promotion is because my combat power has declined. ”
What do you mean?
Murong Qianli: "Actually, when the previous commander-in-chief was the deputy commander-in-chief, he was also the strength of the great grandmaster, do you know?"
All the deputy commanders are the top masters who are personally recruited and killed on the front line, and they are the banners of real battles. If you are seriously injured or weakened, but you are not yet of retirement age, you will be appointed to a more civilian position.
And people like the former commander-in-chief, or Murong Qianli, not only have outstanding prestige and great achievements, but also have enough management ability and rich experience, but will be further reused.
Now it just so happens that the former commander-in-chief has exceeded the retirement age for more than a year, so when Murong Qianli's strength declined and he was unable to perform tasks on the front line, his superiors simply let him take over the position of commander-in-chief, and let the former commander-in-chief retire.
It turns out that this is the case, and the regression of strength has led to the promotion of the official to one level...... It can be seen that this Yanhuang Martyrs Brigade is not a good place to get promoted and make a fortune, it is all "responsibility".
At the beginning, everyone rarely saw the mysterious commander-in-chief of the Yanhuang Martyrs Brigade, so there were many discussions. Some people say that it is a certain big leader who personally serves as a person, and some people say that its position is only empty to commemorate, but now Zhao Xuanji knows the real reason.
……
Bidding farewell to Murong Qianli, Zhao Xuanji and Xiaoshu went to the capital, because the highly skilled disguise agency was set up there. Along the way, Zhao Xuanji began to carefully study the information that Murong Qianli gave him.
Although there is very little important information about the case, the basic information about the Golden Palm is very informative.
This island is actually quite large, nearly 100 square kilometers, and the length and width are nearly 10 kilometers. Half of the area is mountainous, only the northern half of the island is populated, and the port is also on the northern coast.
The island is located in the subtropics, so it's late autumn but it's still quite warm there. Nice sandy beach, but it rains a lot.
There is a source of fresh water, and vegetables and fruits can be grown, but more vegetables and grains come from external imports. Because there is very little farmland here, but more and more people are gathering, and there is not enough to eat.
As for the demographic composition, in fact, there were still indigenous people hundreds of years ago, but they were all killed by Western colonizers, somewhat similar to the situation of the American Indians, but they died cleaner than the Indians.
There are now more than 5,000 people living here, but as many as 15,000 people live on the island all year round – that is, most of them do not have a hukou here. Either the crew of the shipping company, or the staff of various companies with foreign investment, in addition to some chaotic people or forces who come here to pan for gold.
There are about 15,000 people, which is roughly equivalent to a large township center in China. However, the economic output value is very considerable, and I am afraid that it can be equivalent to a rich county in China.
Of course, there are more tourists who come here, and the number of daily reservations must be in the thousands - Zhao Xuanji and Xiaoshu have to pretend to be such a honeymoon newlywed Yan'er.
