Chapter 453: The Summit
The next morning, the weather was a little gloomy.
Lead-gray clouds spread all over the sky, no sunlight could be seen, and dense smog obscured the sky, making the entire South Island foggy, seriously affecting transportation.
Many people who travel are affected by traffic jams, and in addition to traffic jams, they can't help but complain about the formation of poor air quality and haze weather and environmental management problems.
The vehicles blocked on the way to work formed a long line, and the car owners listened to the radio and heard that there was a continuous traffic rear-end collision in front of them, and the traffic police were dealing with it urgently.
But to deal with those incidents, it takes about half an hour, and the drivers are also congested on other roads, and there are similar rear-end collisions, which are very impatient.
However, the drivers and car owners, as well as many people on the road waiting for traffic order to be restored, were attracted by a piece of news after listening to the traffic broadcast.
I only heard the news broadcast mention that China recently held a World Economic Forum summit, and the time is getting closer and closer.
In the past two days, the heads of state of the world came to Yanjing to prepare for the summit, and the princess Liuqiu, who was the focus of the news media, also appeared at the summit.
After the appearance of this princess of Liuqiu, after meeting with some representatives of domestic political and business circles, she was warmly received by some heads of state, and the two sides had a friendly conversation.
At the same time, when Princess Liuqiu talked with the heads of those countries, the heads of state expressed their curiosity about the old king of Zhongshan Kingdom, and also hoped that the two sides could have a face-to-face friendly exchange.
At this time, the princess of Liuqiu revealed that Zhongshan has been closed for hundreds of years, and now it is getting closer and closer to exchanges and contacts with the outside world. We also hope to be able to carry out good exchanges and cooperation with many countries in various fields.
At the same time, the princess Liuqiu claimed that the old king of Zhongshan Kingdom would soon launch a tour with the outside world, hoping to carry out friendly exchanges with many countries.
After Princess Liuqiu revealed that the old king was preparing to go on a world tour, the news media got the latest news, and immediately reported the news, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole people.
Originally, Octopus Island was very mysterious. And the old king of that small island nation has never appeared, and it has always been like a veil of mystery.
Coupled with the rapid development of Octopus Island and the acceleration of the process of integrating with the modern world, an investment storm set off by this small island nation is still reverberating all over the world, making the world's curiosity and attention to this mysterious old king naturally higher when paying attention to the development of Octopus Island.
And when the news that the old king was preparing to travel for an unofficial visit to several countries was reported, it immediately attracted the attention of some countries in the world.
And at this economic forum summit, some heads of state met with Princess Liuqiu and expressed the hope that the old king could be invited to visit the country. They showed enough sincerity and enthusiasm.
However, compared with these interested countries such as the United States and Japan, they do not have a good face, and the protest and condemnation are extremely strong.
In particular, a well-known person in the island country believes that the world has not yet officially recognized the small country of Zhongshan established on Octopus Island, and the United Nations has not approved the qualification of the small island country to be a member state, which proves that the existence of the small country on the island is not recognized by the United Nations.
And the king of such a small feudal country that is not recognized by the world wants to visit some world powers, and he is not yet qualified to talk to the heads of state on an equal footing.
Moreover, this well-known person said on the spot that the Japanese island did not welcome the king of the feudal country to travel.
At the same time, the Japanese island resolutely protested and condemned Octopus Island's recent customized tariff-free receipt of goods smuggling trade from merchants from all over the world. This is a violation of international trade regulations.
He called on all countries in the world to jointly ban such illegal practices of businessmen and normalize international trade. Otherwise, this will seriously interfere with the economic development of all countries in the world.
However, the so-called representative of the so-called celebrity from the island country of Japan, his call to boycott the trade of goods with Octopus Island was not heard by the representatives of other countries on the trip, and everyone treated it as just a fly singing and did not take it seriously.
This is pure nonsense. In the current interest, everyone is not stupid.
At present, some merchants and enterprises from all over the world have made extremely rich profits from engaging in material trade with Octopus Island, and many people are also joining this wave with red eyes.
At the same time, this also indirectly makes those countries also obtain rich economic benefits through tax and other policies, so that these countries turn a blind eye to the so-called illegal trade.
Far from it. As far as the island country is relatively close to the location of the Octopus Island, many businesses in their country are privately engaged in smuggling trade with the Octopus Island to make profits, who cares about the protest and condemnation of this so-called well-known person in the political circle and the boycott call he issued, but he took off his pants and farted in front of the pit.
Therefore, for these news reports in the morning, whether on TV or on news broadcasts, although the direction of the reports is different, there is one thing in common, that is, the mysterious old king is about to leave the octopus island that has been closed for hundreds of years and travel to visit various countries.
However, early in the morning, the discussion of these related news on the Internet was very hot.
Many netizens posted or replied to the protests and boycotts raised by some well-known politicians in Japan and the United States at the forum summit, and netizens did not say anything, and they also despised the statements made by those so-called celebrities, and almost everyone condemned them.
Now the whole world knows that Octopus Island is full of gold, but all kinds of materials are very scarce, as long as they can be transported, Octopus Island will adopt a zero-tariff policy to deal with purchases.
Merchants can make a huge profit by taking advantage of the merchandise trade balance to collect large quantities of cheap goods from countries around the world, enter the waters of Octopus Island through public shipping routes in the Pacific Ocean, and then transport them to Octopus Island.
Moreover, Octopus Island still settled on the spot on these material transactions. Never defaulting, so that businessmen in many countries around the world have made a lot of money in this way, which is very eye-catching.
Although this is very profitable, after the current purchase and storage of a large number of materials on Octopus Island, there are too many merchants from all over the world who are pouring into Octopus Island to pan for gold. It can also bring a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Octopus Island learned from the advanced experience of developed countries, and then made adjustments and norms.
After that, most of them will cooperate with some powerful merchants and enterprises who have had many trade cooperation contacts and have a foundation of trust, which excludes some small businessmen who have bad intentions, or waste resources and occupy shipping routes.
But even so, in various industries, there are still a large number of large and medium-sized business enterprises to get the opportunity to cooperate.
Just like Octopus Island does not have a complete industrial system, merchants from many countries can not only sell their surplus industrial products to Octopus Island. Moreover, it can solve the current situation of surplus industrial products in their own countries, so that some countries have gained benefits and benefits through these transactions, and they will naturally turn a blind eye to the affairs of Octopus Island.
Sometimes, the interests represented by those businessmen behind them may not only be personal, but may also be instructed by the state and secretly supported behind them.
Know that Octopus Island is full of gold and has a very large gold reserve. It may even have the kind of earth rarity that can extract the main raw materials of gene preparations. Extremely precious biological raw materials, which is also the basis for many countries to acquiesce to the good cooperation between businesses and Octopus Island.
Everything is driven by interests, and it does not include any feelings or friendships or the like, the world, the relations between countries. It's just a matter of interest.
Therefore, in the economic forum summit held at that time, although some well-known political figures in Japanshima and other countries will express some views and put forward some proposals and appeals, they have attracted a voice of contempt and abuse.
At least the people of the United States are much smarter than the so-called celebrities on the island of Japan, and they will not make some unwise moves at such a summit.
They know that many countries are now fighting with Octopus Island in terms of cooperation in interests. I also know that the United States has absolutely no good impression of Octopus Island, and will even be hostile and suppressive.
If it weren't for the fact that there is a hellish energy protection barrier on the edge of Octopus Island to block and protect Octopus Island, I am afraid that the submarines and aircraft carriers of the Mi Army would have already sailed into the waters of Octopus Island and landed on Octopus Island to implement a military blockade.
It is the existence of Octopus Island that has affected the interests of the United States and the Japanese Island, so the attitude of the United States towards the Octopus Island has always been very resistant and repulsive, in addition to military sanctions and blockades, they have adopted economic blockade and political suppression and other related strategies have not stopped.
However, at this summit, the economic topics discussed by the heads of state of the world still cannot avoid the importance of the existence of the small island nation of Octopus Island.
However, the people of the United States issued very strong words at the summit, saying that they would next impose sanctions and crackdowns on those merchant ships that occupy the routes of the Mi Army in the Pacific without the permission of the United States.
At the same time, the people of the United States believe that a large number of ships have flocked to the public area around the golden corridor opened by Octopus Island, and there is also a problem of occupying the military routes of the Mi army.
The meaning of the rice people is obvious, we can't control you doing business with others, but you have hindered our military routes, although we cannot suppress you militarily, but we will use this as a reason to sanction and suppress those businesses that carry out trade cooperation with Octopus Island.
Regarding the very tough attitude of the people of the United States at the summit, the representatives of some countries that are ambiguous with the United States are just silent and have long been accustomed to it.
However, some countries that do not deal with the United States have reacted violently.
The moment your people were exposed to Octopus Island, they wanted to directly drive their military forces into Octopus Island, but they didn't succeed, and then the people of the United States implemented an economic blockade and political suppression on Octopus Island, but some European countries and countries such as China opened their mouths to Octopus Island, so that the two sides still maintained trade exchanges, and the commodity trade blockade of the United States people still did not have too significant effect.
It's just that now, when the people of the United States are helpless about Octopus Island, they have targeted businesses and enterprises in various countries again, wanting to restrict their normal business and trade exchanges, which is obviously to move the interests of these countries, and they naturally reacted fiercely and responded.
In fact, some Middle Eastern countries that are engaged in trade with Octopus Island have a very tough attitude, and have spoken out in support of Octopus Island and recognized the legal status of Zhongshan on Octopus Island in the international community.
Subsequently, some small European countries also joined the ranks of supporting Octopus Island, making the discussion of the economic aspects of Octopus Island at this summit seem to be a quarrel due to disputes.
However, I still saw some of the intentions of the people of the United States and the people of Ridao.
The intentions of the people of the United States and the people of Japan Island are very sinister, they obviously want to talk about the topic of Octopus Island in various international conferences, and then magnify this topic to a high degree, and strongly state that they do not recognize the existence of the country on Octopus Island, and completely muddy the waters, that is, they want to indefinitely delay the small country of Zhongshan on Octopus Island to become a member of the United Nations and obtain the status and qualification of a legitimate sovereign state in the international community.
The people of the United States believe that as long as the mainstream countries in the world led by the United States never recognize the sovereignty and status of the feudal countries on Octopus Island, then they will always be an island, and the United States will have the opportunity to conquer and conquer this island and include this island in their military territory.
In fact, the intention of the people of the United States is very clear, that is, in order to ensure their interests in the Asia-Pacific Ocean, they are eager to establish a military base on the Octopus Island, which has a perfect defense system, as long as the Octopus Island allows the United States to establish a military base on the island and be the little brother of the United States, then the United States will definitely be the first to jump out to support the national sovereignty of the Octopus Island.
In this way, the Pacific Ocean will be completely blocked from now on, and at the same time, it will cut off the opportunity for China and Russia to enter the Pacific Ocean, so that they will completely lose the opportunity for their military forces to swim in the Pacific Ocean, and truly become the backyard of the United States.
However, how can others not guess the intentions of the people of the United States, especially the interests of China and Russia, which are involved, and the two sides have been looking for opportunities to break the military blockade of the United States in the Asia-Pacific Ocean.
Now, the emergence of Octopus Island is an excellent opportunity, for these two world powers, whether in terms of military strategy or other considerations, how can they let go of this opportunity? (To be continued......)
