Chapter 297: The Andaman Islands II
"There are two hundred and four islands in the Andaman Islands, and only a fraction of them have development value, and the four large islands are at best used by the navy as a base, and the rest are like economic development, so it can't be talked about!"
"If you want to become an international cargo transit station, you have to do a lot of infrastructure, roads, airports, ports, power plants, etc., this place is very high and has a perennial water shortage, where does the investment of tens of billions of dollars come from?" The Minister of Finance was the first to express his unwillingness to invest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"India's strategy is to befriend its neighbors as a basis for countering China, and to build a naval base in the Andaman Islands, which means creating tensions in the Indian Ocean, what will other countries think?"
"Especially in May, we and the neighboring Pakistani country conducted five nuclear tests in a row, one after the other, and six times, so that now the Americans are still making accusations and threatening to impose sanctions on us, and it is really not cost-effective to offend this American company again." said the Minister of the Interior.
Now that the cabinet members and the military have agreed on their opinions, the next step is to discuss the value of the Andaman Islands, which is more than 6,000 square kilometers of islands, which is indeed not very easy to value, and this is not an ordinary land transfer.
Marcas, who was the sole agent for the deal and participated in negotiations with cabinet members, made it clear that Rainbow Shipping lacked a cargo terminal in the Indian Ocean, and even if it bought the Andaman Islands, it would only be for port construction.
The Golden Triangle government purchased 30,000 square kilometers of land in Laowo at a cost of 300 million US dollars, or 10,000 US dollars per square kilometer, but the Andaman Islands cannot be calculated in this way.
After a month of fierce quarrels, it was finally decided that the Indian government would sell the Andaman Islands for a billion dollars, and that all the islands' population, except for the primitive tribes, would be withdrawn to India, and Rainbow Shipping would need to pay another billion dollars as relocation and resettlement fees.
The Indian government is reluctant to make a noise, this kind of thing will definitely be scolded by domestic public opinion, and those people who do not understand do not know the painstaking and difficult work of the government, so the signing of the contract is carried out in the Prime Minister's Office in a very low-key manner.
Xu Zilin, in her capacity as the CEO of Atlantis International Group, signed the transfer agreement on behalf of the buyer, Rainbow Shipping Company is only a branch of the group, and does not have the status of independent contracting, and Marcas's international public relations agency has become a witness to both parties to this transaction.
In fact, it is equivalent to Wu Chen buying this island, because Atlantis International Group is his sole proprietorship and has no other shareholders, in a sense, he also bought a piece of foundation for himself that can be passed on from generation to generation.
Xu Zilin didn't ask Marcus to call Wu Chen until she completed the transfer agreement, and when she was leaving, she asked Marcus to call Wu Chen and surprise her man, the Andaman Islands are Wu Chen's and hers, and in terms of status, no girl can challenge her.
The Golden Triangle has too many people's interests involved, even if Wu Chen is the boss, there are certain obstacles to doing things, but the Andaman Islands are different, it is completely personal, and an autonomous region can be established here, just like a member of the Commonwealth.
"This means that we have our own base in the Indian Ocean, and in order not to provoke the surrounding countries, we will not develop it on a large scale for the time being. A battalion-level combat team should be mobilized to first control key areas such as ports and airports, and at the same time it is necessary to build radar stations and anti-aircraft missile positions. ”
"There is a helicopter gunship attack battalion and a transport helicopter battalion stationed here, and a special military port will be built on the island of Little Andaman Island, and after the construction is completed, all the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines and Ohio-class cruise missile nuclear submarines stationed in the port of Mogadishu will be transferred."
"In order to prevent the Indian Coast Defense from breaking down when it retreats, you immediately convey my order to Denness, first transfer that Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser and two Burke-class destroyers here, and then transfer a Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser from Sestopol."
"If the altitude is too low, it is susceptible to the marine climate and earthquakes, so don't build buildings too low, and take precautions to protect important facilities. My own place, which can be built at any time, is currently concentrating on the upgrading of the Golden Triangle, which is the home of mercenaries and the last refuge. Wu Chen thought for a while and said.
The Andaman Islands cannot be developed at this stage, because Wu Chen knows that at the end of December seven years later, there will be a famous tsunami in history, when not only the economic losses were heavy, but thousands of people died in this place alone.
"Wu Chen, are you saying that you bought the Andaman Islands in India? How does this sound a little incredible, how can such a large group of islands be sold in India? Also, I don't understand what you're saying, what kind of nuclear submarines, missile cruisers and destroyers, you can't be making a movie, right? "Li Fu is really like a curious baby.
"You will know the day after tomorrow whether it is a movie or not, after about fifty-five hours, I will take you to the missile cruiser for a walk, this kind of experience is not something that everyone will have, we will not talk about such topics tonight!" Wu Chen turned over and pressed against her delicate body and said with a smile.
Looking at the clear sky and breathing in the fresh morning air, Wu Chen wore a T-shirt and shorts, walking barefoot on the beach, this is the third morning in the Maldives. In addition to swimming two days ago, I went diving in the underwater world, and last night I ate seafood at the resort and held a party with tourists, which lasted until more than four o'clock in the morning.
"Brother-in-law, why did you get up so early, you trapped me!" Li Yunxin, who was yawning, walked to Wu Chen's side in a black camisole top and a short skirt, hugged his arm affectionately, and looked sleepy.
This girl doesn't wear underwear, Wu Chen can't say anything, not to mention, the sister-in-law's figure is really young and beautiful with a hint of sexiness, and her breasts are actually very large, and when she walks, the two tense peaks rise and fall, and the eyes of several men next to her are straight.
Li Yunxin, who will enter college next summer, actually skipped class this time and asked the teacher for leave, so she had to follow Wu Chen and her sister to the missile cruiser to satisfy her curiosity. With the power and status of her family, a phone call will not lead to anyone else.
"Yunxin, you are still a high school student, and it is time to study, how can you skip class for curiosity? Let your father know, I have to reprimand you! Wu Chen took out the gesture of being a brother-in-law.
"My father knew that I was playing with my sister, and he didn't say anything at all, just based on my academic performance, it was easy for me to get into college, not less than a year and a half, this kind of opportunity is very rare." Li Yunxin was not afraid of him at all.
