Enel was silent for a while, then raised his head and said to Wei Minsheng: "Sir's request has exceeded our authority, because it involves the sovereignty of the country, and it may have to be decided by a vote of all Tuvaluans.

As for the fact that Mr. has the technology and financial resources to grow islands from the sea, we have no doubt at all.

However, in the current international environment, it is still difficult for you to have the freedom of a sovereign state with only an artificial island, and it is not as simple as Mr. thinks. ”

Just kidding, if anyone could fill an island out of the sea and declare a new country, the world would not be chaotic.

At the very least, the denunciations of the environmentalists and the attitudes of neighboring countries, let alone those with vast seas, are difficult to solve.

Although, according to the Convention on the Sea, these maritime areas do not belong to any country.

But when you are far away from other countries, these seas are almost like your own home.

So, why do you fill in a small island and divide a sea area rich in seafood resources?

Once the interests of the country are involved, it is not the power of the individual to control it.

The stumbling blocks in the open and in the secret are all petty fights, and the direct use of the state apparatus to stop them will not arouse opposition from any country.

Because, such a thing can happen in the waters near any country, and no country is willing to give up the place that belongs to its own backyard, even in name.

Wei Minsheng smiled and said, "It seems that you still don't know how we managed to protect this island from being eroded by the waves."

In fact, what you see here is only one percent of the work we do. ”

Looking at the puzzled eyes of a group of Tuvaluans, Wei Minsheng continued: "If the island reclamation could be so simple, you would not face the crisis of flooding the whole country."

The small island was filled with earth and rock, just to provide us with a basic condition to live in.

But in the midst of rough seas, how to prevent soil erosion is the most important thing.

If you don't do this well, no matter how much effort you put into it, no matter how much resources you invest, it will be in vain. ”

Ener and his entourage nodded deeply and agreed with Wei Minsheng's words.

Because that's how they've survived helplessly over the past few decades.

They had also thought about solidifying all the coasts with concrete, but for an archipelago country that is basically made up of coral atolls, the amount of work and investment is simply not something that Tuvalu can afford to have the financial and human resources to do.

"In order to prevent the erosion of the waves, my fleet has spent a lot of money and material resources in the past few weeks, throwing a large number of boulders under the sea surface five or six hundred meters from the coastline of this small island, forming a circular dike.

The hidden embankment formed by these boulders is the key to protecting the island from the erosion of the waves.

Under the protection of this dike, the sea is still rough, but after losing the impetus of the undercurrent, when these waves push to the shore, the power they contain is already the end of the crossbow, and they can't make much waves.

This is the real reason why the soil and rocks on Nuraquita Island will not be lost on a large scale. ”

It turns out that they have invested so much, and they have only filled in this piece of less than 20,000 square meters on this sea, which is indeed a bit of a big price.

Ener seemed to have some understanding in his heart, but out of duty, in order to protect Tuvalu's national interests, there were some things that he still had to figure out.

"Sir, you said earlier that you could restore this place to its original state when you left, I have no doubt about that.

Because as long as there is no one to take care of it, it will not be long before the dirt is carried away by the waves.

But you've cast so many boulders around this island that you've changed the surrounding waves, and it's probably not so easy to restore them to their original state. ”

is still testing our bottom line, this Enel is not dead in the heart of the Yellow River.

Wei Minsheng said casually: "Actually, it is very simple to restore this place to its original state.

We just need to haul the boulders from the bottom of the water, and it won't take long. ”

"Drag it away?"

"Oh, actually, every boulder under this water is hooked, and with the buoyancy we just have to tow them away with boats and floats.

You know, in the vast sea, these boulders are extremely rare.

How can we throw away something that we paid so much for, and don't want it here? ”

That's right, no wonder a large number of ships carrying boulders were not found some time ago, it turned out that these boulders were actually dragged from under the surface of the sea by boats.

Although this is just Wei Minsheng's own words, in the ears of Ener and his party, they obviously believe it.

Under such circumstances, it seems that it is not difficult to tear down the culvert.

But once this dark embankment is gone, this Nyurakita Island may soon fall into the same predicament as other islands, and in the end it will still not be able to get rid of the fate of destroying the country.

It seems that these Chinese people have taken all the situation into account from the beginning, and it seems that they are not bad at all, and they have not considered the cost of this process at all.

In the face of such people, Ener seems to have no suitable way to blackmail them.

Moreover, it is in Tuvalu's national interest to find a way to keep them behind and use their skills and capabilities to build Nuraquita Island stronger.

If even the last glimmer of hope for Nurakita had fallen, Tuvalu would have no hope.

Ener took a deep breath and said to Wei Minsheng: "If Sir, if you can really give important help in protecting Tuvalu's territory, I think all Tuvaluans will remember your good deeds."

At that point, as long as it doesn't go against Tuvalu's interests, I think you will have no problem having enough freedom here. ”

Wei Minsheng smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I think you have misunderstood.

With the strength of our brothers, we can keep this island at most.

Culverts must have enough buffer distance, so the larger the island, the more difficult it is to construct them.

Otherwise, we have put so much effort into it, why would we only fill in such a large area here?

Boulders could be dragged from beneath the surface of the sea, but the dirt had to be transported by boat.

If nothing else, the cost of shipping these rocks is not a small amount, and we alone do not have the ability to keep the whole of Tuvalu.

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't have enough ability. ”
