Enel opened his mouth, but didn't speak.

Because he himself knows that it is indeed difficult for some strong people to rely on personal strength to complete this problem that even one country cannot solve.

But so far, this is the last chance he can see, as reality is running out of time for Tuvalu.

Wei Minsheng's shirk also understood that this was asking Tuvalu for a condition, a condition worthy of their investment.

Rubbing his forehead, Ener said, "Sir, we can give you the freedom you want, but how far can you go, can you give us a promise?" ”

Wei Minsheng said: "If you agree to our terms, it will not be difficult to keep Tuvalu's existing territory.

As long as you are able to fully liberalize the immigration applications made by us, we can bring in a lot of financial resources to protect Tuvalu's existing territory.

Of course, you don't have to worry about the welfare of these immigrants, and without your permission, they will only work and live on our own turf.

The freedom we seek is not absolute.

We can agree with the laws and customs of Tuvalu, but at the same time we hope that you will not interfere with our rules and habits.

We can provide Tuvalu with a large number of cheap supplies, but Tuvalu cannot impose customs duties on the goods we trade here, otherwise we have the right to stop the supply of supplies.

Our businesses can also recruit Tuvaluans, but the workers must work in accordance with our policies and requirements, otherwise we can dismiss them in accordance with our regulations.

Even if necessary, we can participate directly in the construction of Tuvalu, provided that we have all the guarantees and rights of Tuvalu citizens. ”

While Wei Minsheng gave Ener a hope, he made several demands in one breath.

Mutual agreement on rules of conduct and customs is the basis for peaceful coexistence in the future.

The premise of improving the living conditions is to exempt these Chinese from tariffs, but fortunately there are no other taxes, and Tuvalu's tariff income is not much anyway, so if it is exempted, it will be exempted.

Moreover, the initiative to not provide cheap necessities is entirely in their hands, and Tuvalu has no means to counter it.

It's good news that companies can recruit Tuvaluans, at least they don't have to go to Australia to mine and earn some hard-earned money.

There's no problem with treating workers equally, and I'm worried that you'll treat Tuvaluan workers differently.

How does it feel strange to be directly involved in the construction of Tuvalu and only to be treated the same as ordinary Tuvaluan citizens?

According to their previous requests, it seems that they have been given greater freedom than the Tuvaluans, right?

Combined with the conditions of the company's recruitment, Ener seems to understand that they are required to treat everyone equally on our territory.

It seems that these requirements are not excessive, and they are in line with the normal idea of a businessman to protect his own investment, and he will have these worries if he is on someone else's territory.

Looking up at Wei Minsheng, Ener said, "These requests of the gentleman are not excessive, if that's all, I think we can agree to you now." ”

Wei Minsheng raised his hand to stop Enel and said, "Your Excellency, I suggest that you have a good discussion.

We retain your current territory in Tuvalu on the basis of absolute ownership and use of the protective levees and reclaimed areas that we have built in the sea.

If we can't, I don't think anyone in the world would want to spend so much energy here. ”

Enel's face instantly turned ugly, according to Wei Minsheng, Tuvalu did not even have ownership of these places that had been reclaimed from the sea.

It does feel a little absurd that there exists such a strange place within the territorial waters of a country that is outside the jurisdiction of the state.

But the promise of preserving the existing territory is too tempting.

Tuvalu has not failed to seek help from countries that can afford it, but the resolute resistance of the surrounding countries has led to no substantial progress in all his efforts, except for a large number of painless promises.

Otherwise, there would be no mass migration to countries such as New Zealand.

"You want to establish a state within a state in Tuvalu?"

"Statehood? No, we have no intention of building a state, it is just a necessary means to protect our investments.

These places can be considered our private land, and you can think of it as a 'special zone' in Tuvalu.

Although they do not have jurisdiction, they can also claim Tuvalu territory.

In this way, Tuvalu can also get some benefits from it. ”

The addition of land in the sea can extend Tuvalu's territorial waters and EEZ further afield, which means more revenue.

To achieve this, Tuvalu can do nothing but give these Chinese a legal identity.

Although some tax revenue will be lost, these losses are somewhat insignificant compared to the huge investment in the reclamation process.

As long as there is no state within a state, such conditions are still acceptable.

On the other hand, Tuvalu has taken advantage of it.

Because, in the conditions put forward by Wei Minsheng, Tuvalu's original interests were not harmed.

Without a referendum on whether or not to decide whether or not to cooperate without involving Tuvalu's original interests, a decision could be made by a few members of parliament.

And in the current situation in Tuvalu, the choice between the imminent disappearance and the acquisition of a larger and wider territorial territorial sea is simply not a very difficult choice.

Therefore, Enel and several ruling parliamentarians exchanged glances with each other, and everyone unanimously agreed to Wei Minsheng's conditions.

A formal treaty was immediately signed, defining the rights and obligations of both parties.

However, in the treaty, Wei Minsheng deliberately ignored the area and area where they could reclaim the sea.

Nor did they think that such a huge investment could fill in the sea far from land.

And for Tuvalu, the larger the territory filled in by Wei Minsheng, the wider Tuvalu's territorial waters will be, and they never thought that the area of land filled in by Wei Minsheng would exceed the existing land area of Tuvalu.

For a country that has long feared the disappearance of its land, the longing for land has never imagined that one day in the future, Tuvalu will be surrounded by land patches, which should only be possible in a dream.

Therefore, Wei Minsheng obtained the right to carry out arbitrary construction in the waters near Tuvalu on the grounds that measures must be taken to protect Tuvalu's existing territory.
