Chapter 1323 A Little Episode in the Process Four
At a time when all countries in the world were staring at the Falklands War, the Russian Government and the Golden Triangle Federal Government suddenly issued a joint announcement that shocked the world, and the Russian Government sold the entire territory of the Franz Josef Land Archipelago to the Golden Triangle Federal Government for $1.6 billion, and the two countries reached a strategic cooperation in the Arctic region.
The Golden Triangle Federal Government will provide $10 billion in economic assistance to the Russian government for the development of the Arctic region, and will contribute $3 billion to purchase ships and vehicles and other equipment used in the Arctic region.
"The Russian government is really generous enough, it actually sold the Franz Josef Land Islands to the Golden Triangle Federation, no wonder Wu Chen ignored the Falklands War and ran to Mosk, it turned out to be for this matter, this time it can make a lot of money, more than 16,000 square kilometers of territory, the surrounding mineral resources alone are astronomical, it seems that the Russian government is also forced by the economy to have no way out, and has to lead the wolf into the house." Mr. President of the United States said with a smile.
Every country attaches the same importance to territory, no one is willing to sell even an inch of land, the attitude of the Russian government has always been to fight for every inch of land, the reason why the conditions of the mercenaries are agreed to are estimated to be at the end of the road, a bit like the situation of the United States buying Alaska.
"Originally, the competition for resources in the Arctic region, countries are still in the accumulation stage, and now the mercenaries have suddenly joined in, the trouble is not ordinary, they not only have such a large area of territory, but also get the polar equipment developed by the former Soviet Union and Russia for many years, and they can start operating when they take over, I have to admire Wu Chen's strategic foresight."
"The share of mineral resources in the world, the Golden Triangle Federation occupies at least thirty percent, this proportion is not enough, but the undeveloped places are left with the North and South Poles at both ends of the earth, and the Antarctic region cannot be developed due to international treaty restrictions, so Wu Chen has his eyes on the North Pole, which is also the last piece of pure land, since everyone else is starting, the US government must also intervene, and we also need resources." said the Minister of Defense.
No matter what happens to the Falklands, who wins and who loses, there is no benefit from other countries, but the mineral resources in the Arctic region are different, and this is the wealth of all mankind in the world.
The governments of the five Nordic countries, Canada, and the United States have successively announced that they will enter the Arctic region to explore and develop mineral resources, and Western European countries have also announced that they will actively participate in the Arctic region, and even Japan has announced that it is willing to cooperate with countries on the edge of the Arctic.
"The Golden Triangle federal government entered the Arctic not for military purposes, but to exploit the mineral resources here, and the whole world knows that we are very poor in this area and need to constantly import from outside. The reason why we proposed to your government this time to buy Rolf Island is actually that we need a logistics supply base, and I am sure that your government can also see this. ”
"The Arctic region is covered with snow and ice all year round, and it is only a few months before it can be navigated, and our permanent presence in this region needs to rely on nearby countries to survive, and the federal government is willing to work with the Norwegian government to develop the resources of the Arctic region." Marcas still didn't give up on his purpose.
"I have discussed the sale of this island with the government and the main senior members of the parliament, please understand, Norway cannot sell territory to foreign countries, but considering the needs of the Golden Triangle Federation, Rolf Island can be leased to you for an indefinite period of time, and even a symbolic rent payment." This was stated by the Prime Minister of the Norwegian government.
The terms were already generous, and the indefinite lease was the biggest concession the Norwegian government could make, but the result made Marcas feel very depressed. The boss Wu Chen and the Russian government have a mouth, which is more than 16,000 square kilometers of land, and the negotiation was very smooth, and it only took two days from the beginning to the end.
I want to buy a small island of more than 80 square kilometers, but in the end I get a preferential policy of indefinite lease, this gap is too big, right? But Norway is a highly developed capitalist country, with the highest income in the world, and there is only military trade between the two countries.
"How can there be so many good things for our mercenary corps to encounter, even if pie falls from the sky, it will not be smashed on everyone's heads, and it is relatively good to be able to get a stable logistics material transfer base."
"Inform the Infrastructure Bureau of the General Logistics Department to build two runways on Rolf Island that are sufficient to take off and land strategic transport aircraft, build several large warehouses, find a suitable location to build a wharf, and at least be able to dock ships of 10,000 tons, from which the food and material needs of the Franz Josef Land Archipelago will be supplied in the future." Wu Chen is very open to this matter, the current development of the mercenary army is against the sky, and people must be content in order to be happy.
The Federal Government of the Golden Triangle announced the establishment of the Far North Special Administrative Region of the Federal Government within the limits of the Franz Josef Land Islands, with the former Soviet military base on Graham Bell Island as the temporary seat of the administrative center, with an airport and a runway more than 2,000 meters long.
"It turns out that this is the North Pole, and the temperature is still so low at the end of June, but it's not like the legendary scene, there are a lot of green plants on the ground, and it doesn't look very desolate!" After getting off the plane, Adriana said as she looked at the surrounding landscape.
A group of super models from the tropics followed Wu Chen to the former Soviet base airport on Graham Bell Island on a special plane, and as soon as they got off the plane, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, and they didn't know they were coming to the North Pole a few hours ago.
The temperature in the Franz Josef Land Islands is about minus three or four degrees, and I don't feel too cold when I wear a special Russian cold-proof military uniform. And their figure is super good, but it adds a beautiful scenery here, this kind of deserted and populated place, when have so many beauties been here?
"The Arctic does not have such a high temperature, the ice and snow do not melt all year round, where we are can only be regarded as the Arctic region, there are still about a thousand kilometers away from the real North Pole, and we may go there in the future to take a look, not yet, let's go, let's see our new territory." Wu Chen looked at the helicopter parked at the airport and said.
