Chapter 334: Crescent Island

The trial of President Edward took place on the fifth day after the end of the coup.

Throughout the day, almost all of the Panu stayed at home, gathered around the television to watch the trial live.

In the end, the Supreme Court of the new country convicted former President Edward of 17 counts, including treason, confiscated all his property, and carried out the death penalty at the end of the month.

This result was supported by the entire people of the new country, and those who were persecuted were eager to skin him and smoke his scriptures. Of course, the new country is a civilized country, and it is naturally impossible to carry out the death penalty in such a barbaric way. Intravenous injection will be his final destination.

As for those soldiers who surrendered, the court did not impose excessive penalties on their actions during the coup, considering that they were fighting out of duty. The general was prosecuted only for accepting bribes and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

At the same time, the former government army was disbanded.

When the situation stabilized, this small country with a population of only 20,000 quickly faded from the attention of the world media and returned to a calm of isolation.

However, on the other hand, this small country has appeared in the eyes of many capitalists.

Because of a big order of 10 billion dollars.

The infrastructure renovation project, which has completed the first phase of the project, will be reopened to public bidding for real estate companies around the world, and the large order is expected to be worth more than $7 billion.

The most troublesome first phase of the project has been completed by Linhua Group "free of charge", and the remaining three phases of the project are not too difficult. Of course, considering the stability of the new regime and the lessons learned by Linhua Group, the audit of asset certification by local real estate companies is much stricter.

However, when I heard that the bidder for the project was Future People International, all my worries disappeared.

Internet companies with a monthly revenue of more than $300 million. There is no doubt about its ability to pay. It is better to say that the local producers are hoping that the future people will not be able to come up with money at that time. In this way, they will be able to claim the equity compensation. After obtaining the shares, they are trying to find a way to get Future People Technology to be listed on the NASDAQ, and they have to make crazy money by speculating to a price-earnings ratio of 20 times.

Of course. Jiang Chen is absolutely impossible to pay without money.

For a time, all kinds of capital have also set their sights on this isolated island, even if they can't get this big order of tens of billions of dollars, it is a good choice to follow the big capital to get a share of the development of this small island

The yacht's engine roared, letting the sea breeze blow his hair, Jiang Chen stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the skyline.

The yacht was bought from an auction of Johnny's assets, and the captain who drove the yacht was an old fisherman named Katchi, who was introduced by Jiang Chen's storekeeper, Kassan.

The brown-skinned aboriginal is equally fluent in Chinese and English. It is said that when he was young, he went to Yangcheng in Huaguo and did business there. After the business was yellow, he returned to his hometown and started a fishing business, and he has been doing it for more than 20 years.

"How much longer?"

"It's almost there. The old fisherman grinned and continued to speed up the yacht.

At 50 knots, it only takes a single wave for the ship to float as if it were flying. However, this fisherman is worthy of being a good sailor, and no matter how the waves drift, the yacht is still as steady as a poi.

Aisha nervously grabbed Jiang Chen's hand. The other hand gripped the bar. Jiang Chen was bold, and he didn't look scared at all, so he just stood against the wind, breathing in the fresh air.

Soon. A small island gradually emerges from the skyline.

"See? The old fisherman shouted, accompanied by a hearty laugh.

"Haha, I see. Jiang Chen couldn't wait to take out the telescope. He looked towards his island.

That's right, this is his island.

As the biggest winner in the coup. Transwarp Trading Company not only received the commission of "contracting national defense", but also was allowed to form an army in place of the new government. At the same time, authorization was obtained for the construction of a 100-square-meter military outpost on the nine islands. In addition, Crescent Island, 150 kilometers west of Koro, the capital of the new country, was also permanently leased by the new country to the Star Ring Trading Company to build a military base.

As the name suggests, the island resembles a crescent moon.

The island is lush with forests and tropical vegetation. The central part of the island is slightly higher, the two wings are relatively gentle, the beach in the bay is shallow, and it can become a sandbar at low tide, and if you overlook the whole island at this time, you can see the full moon. Because the tide rises and falls, it is very similar to the full moon and the lack of the moon, so this island is also called the island of surplus and shortage.

It is one of the few islands in the Panu archipelago named after the Chinese language.

Because of its small size and the fact that there is no fresh water source on the island, this is an uninhabited island and is not one of the nine islands of Panu. While some of these views are a bit confusing, it is a good choice to use this place as a military base.

When the yacht approached, Jiang Chen saw two ships anchored on the side of the island.

Because there was no deep-water port, the two ships could not dock and stop broadcasting, so they could only hang far away on the edge of the island, using small boats to transport people and supplies ashore.

These people were all transferred from the military base in Niger, and most of them were Syrian Christians, who were recruited by Jiang Chen as mercenaries on the way to escape. Although there was some semi-coercion in it, when they found out that Jiang Chen had not abused them and had properly arranged their families, they were still grateful to Jiang Chen. After months of militarized training, they have all almost integrated into their new identities.

After a while, Jiang Chen will also recruit soldiers in the territory of Panu. According to his plan, the military base will maintain a military strength of 500 troops in the first phase. While giving priority to the development of the Air Force, old warships were purchased for "modernized" modifications.

Of course, this can be done slowly. After all, it is now an era of peace, and the diplomatic relations between the new country and its neighbors are quite normal, and there is no urgent need to expand its armaments.

"Shall we go directly to the shore, or shall we go to the steamer?" roared the old fisherman, filled with the sea breeze in his mouth.

"Lean over to the steamer. Jiang Chen commanded.

"Okay. ”

With a shout and a roar of the engine, the old fisherman drove the boat towards the steamer.

Distances of several kilometers are fleeting.

The yacht was chained, and the people on the ship lowered the ladder, and Jiang Chen and Aisha climbed up first.

With her feet touching the smooth deck, Aisha stumbled dizzily, but fortunately Jiang Chen helped her in time, otherwise she might have to fall into the sea.

"Are you seasick?" Looking at Aisha's dizzy appearance, the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth couldn't help but hook slightly.

It was the first time he had seen such a confused look from her.

"Sort of. Aisha shook her little head and said with her forehead on her back.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier. Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain.

"Because I'm having a lot of fun watching you surf. A flush appeared on the cold pretty face, and Aisha buried her head and said softly.

Seeing her so cute, Jiang Chen's heart fluttered a few times, and he swallowed and spit.

But at this moment, there was a light cough not far away.

It was Ivan's ravine-strewn old face, smiling playfully at Jiang Chen's side.

"Boss, I really didn't mean to be a light bulb, but everyone was watching. As he spoke, Ivan snorted to the side in a funny way.

The soldiers on the deck whistled and waved to Jiang Chen in cheer, but the banter in their eyes was very obvious.

Aisha blushed and buried her head behind Jiang Chen's back. Although she has always been very generous and active when there are only two of them, she is still not used to showing intimacy with Jiang Chen in front of others.

And Jiang Chen is full of black lines.

These guys, who are neither big nor small, actually dare to look at the boss's jokes.

"Get back to work for me, and then let me see you hanging around on the deck, and you won't participate in the barbecue party in the evening!" Jiang Chen shouted at those idlers.

Hearing that there was a barbecue meeting in the evening, the soldiers immediately dispersed and rolled back to work, and those who had nothing to do also pretended to be very busy to help them. After all, no one can afford to get along with barbecue, can they?

Jiang Chen then looked at Ivan with a smile.

"Ahem, boss, I'm just uh, to avoid you making a fool of yourself in front of your subordinates. Jiang Chen looked at his straight hair, Ivan smiled and waved his hand and said.

The joke was enough, and Jiang Chen also restrained his expression.

"Alright, that's all for the joke, you go to the captain's room and wait for me. Take that boy from Bakari with you. ”

"Yes!" Ivan gave a military salute and took the order. (To be continued.) )
