Chen Rui immediately instructed Ma Bingkun, ambassador of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tortuga Island Government to Portugal, to make preliminary contacts with the Portuguese side on the purchase of the island.

The Portuguese side gave a clear reply that Portugal is indeed ready to sell the islands of the northwestern part of the Azores, including Flores, Corvo, Monchique, Maria. The sale of the islands, as well as a series of islands and reefs in the archipelago, includes sovereignty over the islands, territorial waters, and a 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone. It also gives all the information about the islands sold, the area of the islands, the climate of the islands, the hydrology, the minerals, the marine resources and the tourism resources, etc.

After receiving a reply from the Portuguese side, Ma Bingkun sent all the information on the islands to be sold to Chen Rui's mailbox.

Chen Rui read the information carefully.

Instructed Carlson. Harry served as his own plenipotentiary envoy, went to Lisbon, Portugal, and was fully responsible for all matters related to the negotiations with the Portuguese side on the purchase of the island, together with Ma Bingkun and the embassy staff.

On that day, Carlson, as the king's envoy. Harry flew to Lisbon, Portugal on a Tortuga Airlines airliner. Harry resides in the Embassy of the Kingdom of Tortuga in Lisbon.

The embassy stayed up all night, Carlson. Harry and Ma Bingkun discussed the next negotiation on the purchase of the island, you know, the purchase of the island is not as simple as buying things on the street, among them, the things involved in all aspects, complex and complicated, especially on the issue of sovereignty, sloppy, otherwise, the two countries will have to fight in the future, just the signed documents, each island and reef less than the size of the kitchen is a large stack of documents, and the added up documents may be several large boxes.

The next day, Carlson. Harry and Ambassador Ma Bingkun sent a note to the Portuguese government and government.

Chen Rui rode on a camel. Walking in the desert. Day and night.

The two camels are placed in the pregnant Haizhu space at night, full of food and drink, and they are very energetic during the day, and they walk very fast carrying hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects on the desert.

The environment in the desert is very harsh, with sandstorms, quicksand, and the sun is as hot as a furnace during the day. The night was unusually cold.

During the day, Chen Rui sat on the camel and looked at the desert in the distance, watching the desert sunset at dusk, when he was a little bored, he took out his notebook, turned on the computer to watch movies, read web pages, and code words, and the camel walked very smoothly on the desert. There was no feeling of bumps, and at night, Chen Rui entered the pregnant Haizhu space to sleep.

Early March.

Chen Rui arrives in Abu Simborough, a city on the banks of the Nile River in Egypt.

In Abu Simborough, what Chen Rui saw and heard made Chen Rui feel a little, a little embarrassed, and a little sad.

Perhaps, modern Egypt is the reason for the Aberans, who did not pay much attention to the cultural heritage, cultural relics of ancient Egypt.

There is a temple of Abu Simbel in Abu Simborough, built in 1275 B.C., which has a history of more than 3,000 years, and was built by the greatest pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Ramses II, and is still very well preserved after more than 3,000 years of wind erosion.

Chen Rui learned that the Abu Simbel temple was not originally here.

In the sixties of the last century, when Egypt was preparing to build the Aswan Dam and the temple was facing the doom of sinking to the bottom, UNESCO appealed to the world, which was echoed by 51 countries.

Since 1960, archaeologists from 24 countries have explored the area and carried out more than 40 large-scale rescue activities. The 22 temples were measured and calculated, divided into pieces, moved to a safe area, and then rebuilt according to their old appearance, which took 18 years to complete.

It's a hilarious scene.

Egypt is the destroyer of ancient Egyptian cultural heritage, and archaeologists from 24 countries have become the saviors of ancient Egyptian cultural heritage, saving the Abu Simbel temple.

Chen Rui Abu Simborough rested for a few days and continued to set off along the Nile.

There is no country in the world like Egypt, where a river, the Nile, constitutes the main body of Egypt.

Almost all the cities in Egypt are distributed along the Nile, the sediment of the Nile River alluvizes an oasis along the Mediterranean coast, the only green in Egypt on the map, on this green distributed cities such as Greater Cairo, Alexandria, Port Said, and the Suez Canal.

The Nile River floods regularly from July to November every year, and the river floods and floods the arid land on both banks, in the ancient Egyptian calendar, there is a flood season, a grain season, and a harvest season, and the flood season refers to the regular flooding of the Nile River from July to November every year, and the Nile River floods with a large amount of minerals and humus sediment with the stream, and gradually deposits it on both banks to become fertile black soil, and the ancient Egyptian civilization was bred in this black land, prosperous and rich.

The ancient Egyptians wrote the psalm, "O Nile, I praise you, you gushed out of the earth to feed Egypt, and when your water decreases, the people stop breathing".

Chen Rui made his way downstream along the banks of the Nile.

Three days later, on March 7, he left Egypt and entered Sudan.

On the Sudanese side, the Nile has become very narrow.

Nevertheless, the Nile River is also very important to Sudan.

Most of Sudan's cities are spread across the banks of the Nile, and the capital of Sudan, Khartoum, is located outside the confluence of the White Nile and Blue Nile rivers.

March 12th.

Arrive in the Sultan city of Symna along the Nile -

Chen Rui has been following Carlson. Harry, Ma Bingkun negotiated with Portugal to buy the island.

It was a very smooth thing, the grapes wanted to be sold, and Chen Rui wanted to buy them with $200 billion in funds.

However, Germany and France have joined in, making the negotiations for the purchase of the island uncertain.

With 200 billion US dollars, these are the only countries that have the money to buy islands and the willingness to buy islands.

United States, China, Russia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc.

China and Russia are the ones who want to buy the islands the most, but these two countries are 100% useless.

The financial crisis in the United States is so miserable, the domestic economy is sluggish, and it is impossible to buy the island with $200 billion at once, but it cannot pass the parliamentary hurdle, and in addition, the United States has a military base in the central island group of the Azores, so it seems that there is no need to buy the island.

Only Britain, France, and Germany remain, with money and the intention to buy the island.

France and Germany have made initial contact with Portugal and made a request to Portugal to purchase the islands, but Britain is indifferent and estimates that there will be no more follow-up on the islands. (To be continued.) )
