Chapter 1095: Build an Army

Haleps continued to complain: "I am the prime minister and many ministers who have served you as the prime minister, and I have saved you the salaries of countless officials, and 300,000 US dollars is really not much. My role is bigger than that of an executive at an IIC company, right? Besides, I have paid a lot of money for this, and if it weren't for the fact that my son could become prime minister in the future, I would have lost money, and I don't know when I will be able to recoup my investment with an annual salary of only $300,000. ”

Guo Shucheng laughed and said: "Haha, you still regard this position as your family property, and you are ready to pass it on to your children and grandchildren?" ”

Haleps blushed and smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this something you don't like?" Princess Madeleine certainly disdains to be prime minister, she is at most in the name of a king. And you manage such a large place, you will definitely be promoted in the future, where will you look at the position of prime minister of that small island? Moreover, my son, although he is only eight years old now, is absolutely smart and very handsome, and in the future he is good enough to be the Prime Minister of Gloraine-Beer, and he is more suitable than me. For that, I can assure you. ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "Okay, seeing that you have made such a great contribution, I can give you an annual salary of 300,000 US dollars." However, I can mention to you a small suggestion, maybe this solution will allow you to take more money. ”

Halleps was overjoyed, and then asked nonchalantly, "What is built?" ”

With an annual salary of $300,000, he doesn't expect Guo Shucheng to give him more treatment.

Guo Shucheng said: "It's still the dividend method we talked about before. You don't receive a salary but a dividend, just according to the proportion of your investment, plus some of your efforts during this period to convert into shares, so that once our income in Gloraine-Beer Island is high, your income will increase greatly. ”

Haleps immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, most presidents and prime ministers in the world now receive annual salaries, and there are no dividends with the whole country." ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "You really look up to the world in the world." Okay, you have the final say. Don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

"Of course, it would be nice if I could take a stake in some of the smaller projects, such as the tourism company, the supply company," said Haleps. Forget about the airlines, the airlines on our island will definitely lose money, hehe. ”

Obviously, this guy is also Jing Mingjin, and he is also the master who only takes advantage and does not suffer losses.

Guo Shucheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said: "Your Excellency, everything is done, you are in charge of what you should call the shots, you are the ones who should be in charge of diplomatic mediation, and you should be able to mediate, and the more you admit that the more you enter this country, the more majestic you will be when the time comes." Maybe there will be a country that will receive you as a head of state. ”

Halleps laughed, "Of course. I'm going to ask you for your help now, so that you, China, will recognize our country. ”

Guo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do we recognize it in China?" ”

Haleps said earnestly: "Yes. Even if the United States is willing and acquiesced in our establishment of a country, China will agree even more. First, everyone knows that the actual shareholder of this Glolin-Beer Island is the IIC company, and the major shareholder of the IIC company is China, and it is you, although you will not be the nominal king, but you cannot deny your influence on the Gloraine-Beer Island. Now that the United States does not shy away from the independence of the islands you control, then you have no reason to oppose it in China, otherwise you will not be told that China has a ghost in its heart.

Second, the establishment of a country there is only good and no harm to China, this is something that everyone knows, at least your fishermen who fish in the ocean have a foothold, your warships have a supply point for oil and fresh water, and your scientific research ships can also rest there, which is equivalent to the expansion of your country's influence there, what reason do you have to oppose it?

And you are now the first to admit that we can better help you in international affairs in the future, we will help you say what you don't want to say, and we will help you do what you don't want to do. For example, we can help you resell weapons or something. ”

The reason is very simple, Guo Zhuocheng naturally understands it very well, but he is always a little embarrassed to mention it to the Zhongyāng boss, and it is too child's play to establish a country in a small place like Gloraine-Beer Island, just as it is ridiculous for Britain to use the sea forts left over from World War II to establish a country.

It's nothing for Hallepsi, an unemployed and declining royal family, to do this, but as a prince who guards one side and as the object of key training by the leaders of Zhongyāng, it is really a bit funny to participate in it, and there are too many uncertainties.

Guo Shucheng said: "You are busy first, and I will talk to my superiors when the time comes." ”

Halleps said, "Then hurry up, what are you worried about about such a good thing?" If you really want the Chinese leaders to join you, you will go to the island of Gloraine-Bir, and you will not live a very comfortable life? ”

Guo Zhuo said sincerely: How can this kind of thing be as simple as you say. But he asked with a smile: "If I go to the island, what will you do as the prime minister?" ”

Haleps soon had a countermeasure: "That...... Then I will ask Princess Madeleine to give up being king and give you the crown. If you are king, I will be prime minister. ”

He will not give up the prime ministership anyway.

Guo Shucheng asked, "Have you given your country a name?" ”

Haleps immediately handed over a piece of paper and asked, "What do you think of these names?" ”

Guo Zhuocheng looked at it and said, "It's all right." This Segu Autonomous Kingdom is good, so let's call it that. ”

Saigu means seagull in English, which is very consistent with Guo's emphasis on environmental protection and integration into nature.

Halleps smirked, "I knew you'd like this." After a pause, he suddenly said, "Guo, I want to buy warships and form a fleet!" ”

Guo Zhuocheng almost jumped up from his seat, propped his hands on the bottom of the sofa, and asked, "Are you sure you haven't gone crazy?" ”

Halleps hurriedly said, "No, no, how could I go crazy?" After the formation of our country, of course, there will be warships. What kind of country is it without an army? Although the United States is responsible for our national defense, there has to be a little bit of military presence. ”

Guo Zhuocheng smiled bitterly: "Where did you come from?" Any warship can only be piloted by at least dozens of enters. Besides, who's going to go there? If you dare to go anywhere, we can't afford to provoke you at all. And those with small strength will not go at all. Why should we do anything more? ”

Halleps said, "Aa, majestic. I have at least a few soldiers under my command, right? ”

Guo Zhuocheng sneered: "When the time comes, will you still build coastal batteries, roadbed anti-ship missiles, air defense positions, and air defense missiles?" ”

Haleps was really satisfied and said: "Yes, yes, take your time, develop slowly." ”

Guo Zhuocheng really wanted to kick out this vain prodigal family, and couldn't help but say: "Hmph, Your Excellency Prime Minister is so bold, Qianma take your time, Qianbrittle in one step." How good would it be to build your autonomous kingdom of Saigu into the world's largest military power, and prepare for the unification of the Pacific and the world? ”

Halleps smiled sheepishly and said, "I really had this dream. ......, I just want to buy a few small ships like patrol boats, gunboats, not cruisers, destroyers, battleships, don't worry. Besides, isn't your entry wage in China not high? We can totally hire those who have retired from the Navy as our soldiers. It's also good for your country, you can buy your 1ri warships, you can buy your weapons, you can hire your troops. You can even use our warships to train new troops for you ......"

When Haleps boasted about the benefits of buying warships, Guo also thought of the benefits, that is, to use these warships on the sea to protect the secret submarine base in the mountain and protect the submarines that will go to this base in the future to anchor and rest, just as the environmentalist Muvel is used to protect the secrets on the top of the mountain from being leaked.

Thinking of this, he said: "Since you buy a warship, then buy it, one or two are enough." You first go to the United States to buy a frigate, go to China to buy a torpedo boat, and then recruit retired Navy soldiers all over the world. ”

Frigates are small surface ships that use missiles and small-caliber naval guns as weapons and are used for coastal patrol, escort, and fishing protection, also known as gunboats and patrol boats. The main armament of the boat is 1-2 single-barreled or double-barreled naval guns of 37-76 mm, several machine guns, and depth charges, as well as communication equipment and navigation radar. The frigate is small in size, fast in speed, flexible in maneuverability, and has strong firepower, but it has small endurance, poor seaworthiness, and weak protection.

A torpedo boat, also known as a torpedo boat, is a small combat ship that uses torpedoes as its main weapon and is used for offshore operations. In addition to carrying out attack missions, it can also undertake other tasks such as patrol, guarding, anti-submarine, and mine-laying.

These two kinds of warships are small in power and have poor endurance, and they can deal with pirates or the navies of small countries that bully them, but they are only worth mentioning against the navies of the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, and they cannot pose a threat at all.

The reason why Halleps went to the United States to buy a warship was to reassure the United States, because although the price of a frigate was not high and the profit was not large, it was also a gesture of goodwill to the United States, at least to show that Gloraine-Beer Island would not become a burden to the United States. Second, because of the high technical content of the US warship, the purchase of this warship can create a certain deterrent effect on the navies of small neighboring countries.

The first is to show that Gloraine-Bir Island is friendly to China, and that it is good not to engage in anything that is to be done to cover up, and it will be convenient for it to stand on China's side in international affairs in the future. The second is that the purchase of Chinese torpedo boats justifies the recruitment of more Chinese retired soldiers.
