Chapter 276: 100 Years of Territory
Pervez Musharraf was deeply apprehensive.
The temptation of Hong Kong, China, is great, and he also wants to make Pakistan a regional power. But such a deal is still too risky.
Tensions with India have not been interrupted, and military clashes have occurred from time to time. At this time, the domestic economy is weak and needs a large amount of investment, Li Yue's first payment of a 10-year lease, 10 billion US dollars is quite tempting, but Pervez Musharraf knows that this is a poisonous apple, once it is eaten it is difficult to imagine the consequences.
Li Yue had previously had a lease with Pakistan for the port of Gwadar, but this time he made a claim on sovereignty. And the area requirements are a little bigger!
Although Li Yue's idea is very good, he knows that the success rate of this kind of thing is not even 0.00001%.
After the talks with Pervez Musharraf, Li Yue did not leave Pakistan immediately, but visited the existing training base accompanied by Li Jia and Liu Jian. At this time, the base already had more than 500 soldiers trained. All kinds of equipment are also available!
By the time the time the time came July, the World Cup was over, and Brazil still took away their title. And the South Korean government has also made a promise of sky-high compensation.
At this time, China's aerospace department also gave a preliminary reply, they hoped that Li Yue would invest in the Beidou system, and promised to give Li Yue a 30% stake. And it provides positioning signals with an accuracy of 10 meters!
Li Yue finally regretted the choice to part ways with China Aerospace. They can't be blamed for this, they have their own considerations. And Li Yue also has his own ideas, in the future, he is a person who wants to have an army, and things like GPS cannot be controlled by others. Moreover, the signal provided by China's aerospace is only 10 meters, which will not work at all in a war. An anti-tank missile, hit a tank, 10 meters is enough to miss a combat vehicle.
Li Yue didn't expect that the other party was unwilling to even provide him with a launch mission. This greatly exceeded Li Yue's expectations.
"It seems that we have to start from scratch. Li Yue said helplessly looking at the beach in a daze.
However, in the disappointment of China's aerospace, there is good news in Pakistan. At this time, various television stations in Pakistan suddenly began to report on Hong Kong, China on a large scale. The report has repeatedly reminded China of the importance of Hong Kong to the mainland.
Li Yue is very happy to see such a report, it seems that it is still calm, but Li Yue knows that some kind of agreement must have been reached within the current ruling party. Their party must have agreed to their deal.
Sure enough, at the end of August, a small political party with several seats in the Diet put forward a proposal in the Diet that shocked the world.
They proposed a global auction of 1,000 square kilometres of land, dominated by the port of Gwadar in Pakistan. The goal is to build a megacity like Hong Kong!
As soon as the proposal came out, and the latest news coverage of Hong Kong, the opposition finally realized that it was a conspiracy.
However, they only reflected at this time, and it was a little late. In order to better implement his plan, Li Yue has quietly controlled other niche media and local TV stations as soon as Pakistani national television began to report on Hong Kong.
Li Yue's funds once again showed an invincible model. With the support of huge funds, all the people of Pakistan have a deep understanding of Hong Kong. And under Li Yue's control, many small political parties have also begun to show a cooperative side.
Just as Li Yue was quietly advancing, the American media also reflected it. They exclaimed, this was a conspiracy that shocked the world.
The U.S. Congress quickly approached, and they began to engage frequently with the Pakistani opposition. They don't want to see the presence of Chinese forces in this geographical location. Although Pakistan has always had good relations with China, the expansion of its sovereign territory seems to have threatened the national interests of the United States.
At this time, the media in China were confused, and they didn't know what was going on. They don't know why, overnight, there was news that the country was going to buy territory in Pakistan.
However, at this time, the position of the ruling party in Pakistan was unshakeable. Although the U.S. Congress has been in frequent contact with pro-American forces in Pakistan and the opposition, the situation is tilting little by little in the direction that Li Yue wants to see.
In order to curry favor with Pakistan, Li Yue once again increased her investment in Pakistani education. Let young people like Huaxia from an early age, this is a worthwhile investment.
By October, the Pakistani media was no longer veiled in the discussion about whether to create a 'colony' like Hong Kong. Instead, discussions have begun on how specific treaties should be written, and various technical issues related to the return of territories in the future.
Finally, at the end of 2002, Pakistan had begun formal discussions in Parliament about the sale of the country. Due to the strong position of the ruling party, this has almost been reduced to a formality. As soon as Congress passes, the referendum will open!
Seeing that everything was going to be irreparable, the U.S. government moved quickly to intervene in Pakistan in preparation for a national referendum.
However, at this time, most of the energy of the United States is focused on Afghanistan, and they do not have more energy and financial resources to intervene, although they still allocated 100 million US dollars to the opposition in Pakistan, but when the opposition got the funds, they were powerless at all. Seeing that everything was hopeless, they internally digested the aid from the US Congress. Taxpayers in the United States watched as the Pakistani opposition embezzled the money.
20 December 2002. Pakistan's national referendum ended, and Pakistan announced to the world that it was willing to sell sovereignty over the Gwadar port for 100 years. But they have doubled the amount of money they have announced. $2 billion a year, 100 years is $200 billion, not only to pay $50 billion as a deposit, but also to invest $20 billion in the first two years to show sincerity. Otherwise, Pakistan has the right to break the treaty!
Gwadar Port: It's a big piece of fat. Deep-water ports, and the geographical location is extremely important. There is more than one country to worry about. Now that the opportunity has appeared, of course these countries want to intervene, but it will cost 50 billion US dollars at a time, and it will cost 20 billion in 2 years, which stumps everyone at once.
Li Yue knew how eager Japan was to get this territory at this time, but unfortunately their domestic laws were not as rampant as in 2017, and they were now more than willing to do it.
At this time, Huaxia also wanted to get this territory, but the country's economy was still a little weak. 70 billion US dollars in two years, which can only be more and not less, which is really a very heavy burden.
Just when business leaders and dignitaries from all over the world fly around frequently. On the last day of 2002, Pakistan announced to the world that Momo had collectively purchased the 1,000-square-kilometer piece of land for 100 years.
