Chapter 230: Independence Referendum (Yesterday's new breakthrough history addition)

After Linde finished speaking, he pointed to several white people behind him: "This is Mr. Harkes, who was sent by the International Court of Arbitration to supervise the referendum, and Mr. Harkes once served as the British ambassador to the Congo and other positions, and has rich experience in handling international affairs.

A white man slowly stood up as Lind spoke, bowed to everyone, and sat down again.

"This is an international ·······"

Another white man stood up, and this white man was still an American.

"This is an international ·······"

"This is an international ·······"

"This is an international ·······"

Linde introduced a total of seven people, these people have not heard of it, but listening to the names of international xxxx courts, courts, and organizations, they can bluff a large number of people, and the qualifications of these people seem to be very bluffing, and they have all served as ambassadors of some countries.

Of course, these are just bluffs, and if anyone pays close attention, they will find that these people are all ambassadors of some African countries or underdeveloped countries, and none of them are mainstream countries at all.

After nearly ten minutes of rambling, all the reporters understood what was going on, this Palawan government was still quite decent, and it was almost impossible to find fault with it, and even if it was turned out in the future, this referendum would be legitimate.

Just as the reporters and the crowd in front of the door were ready to protest, Linde smiled, took two steps back, and walked out behind him a woman dressed in Palawan's traditional costume, holding a box in her hand, and walking up to the stage with a smile on her face.

"Mr. Harkes, please come to the stage, and you will announce the results of this referendum on behalf of a third-party representative."

As a result, in the box, Linde smiled and invited Hax behind him to come to the stage, and spent more than three million dollars to invite the person, but not to be a mascot, he still has to have some effect.

"Gladly!"

Hax walked up to the stage, with a smile on his face, reached out and took out an envelope from the box, signaling to the public that the envelope was intact, all the reporters focused their cameras on the envelope, and after confirming that there was no problem, Hax gently tore open the envelope, and everyone at the scene held their breath and stared at the envelope in his hand, everyone was in a different mood.

Lin Qing was lying upstairs in his office drinking red wine, but he already knew that Palawan would definitely be independent, didn't he say that the notary office of the referendum was a third party? How could Lin Qing know?

Just kidding, who would play this kind of referendum if there was no absolute certainty? Do you slap yourself in the face? Except for some dealers who pretend to be 13 who will do this, I believe that the so-called people will have their own choices, and 99% of the world's presidential elections are manipulated behind the scenes.

As for the impartial company, a small company that Lin Qing asked people to buy, and then let the night change his qualifications slightly, rent an office building in a luxurious area in New York, in less than two days, this company has become an internationally renowned company, and it is authoritative, of course, if you check carefully, you will definitely find some problems, but as long as the referendum is over, you can let this company find a reason to go bankrupt, without leaving a trace.

"Let's take a look at how many people abstained, and let me see that the number of people who abstained from voting in this referendum accounted for 10.97 percent." There are those who chose to abstain from voting, and there are those who did not receive their ballots at all, based on the total number of people in Palawan, minus those who voted and made their choices, and the rest are voted.

As soon as this data came out, those who protested against independence immediately smiled, and it was obvious that they were very satisfied with this result, as long as the number of people who chose not to be independent exceeded 39 percent, this referendum would be a failure.

According to international practice, if the number of abstentions and the number of opponents in the referendum exceed 50 percent, then a second referendum will be held.

After hearing this data, the expressions on some reporters began to realize, and they began to write tomorrow's news.

"Now I will announce the number of votes for independence in this referendum!" Hux was a little mischievous, grimacing at the people below, and slowly pulled out the other data in the envelope.

"Wow, I think I'll always remember this moment, because I witnessed a piece of history!" After speaking, he looked at the crowd below with a smile, and the smile on his face slowly faded, and finally slowly spoke: "Congratulations, in the Bala independence referendum, the votes for independence accounted for 62.7% of the total number of people!" Congratulations to the Palawans for their freedom and for making history! I am also honored to witness this part of history! ”

"Whew! Hooray, hahaha! Independent! Hahaha, independent, independent, independent! Haha, we're independent! ”

Cheers immediately erupted in the city hall square, and Clarro walked to the stage and shook hands with Hakes, giving him an excited hug, apparently forgetting that he had been a public official of the Philippine government and that he had sworn allegiance to.

The flashes in the hands of the reporters kept shooting at several people on the stage, recording this historical moment.

People who support independence reveled in the square, shouting loudly and excitedly, venting their joy and excitement in their hearts.

The losers left silently, although they doubted the fairness of the referendum, but now they knew that no one would bother with anything they said now, so they could only silently pack up their belongings, leave the venue gloomily, and wait for a better time to put forward their opinions.

There are also some people who immediately joined the carnival after knowing the result, as if the person who held the flag and shouted no independence just now was not him, these people were a little more relaxed, and after the results came out, they chose to accept it.

In the afternoon, most of the world's television stations broadcast the results of the referendum, and Harkes also followed a small fire, much more popular than he had been the British ambassador to the Congo for more than ten years.

After the end of the referendum, the president of the Philippine government held a press conference, announcing that he would not recognize the results of the referendum for the first time, and shouted bitterly that countries around the world should not recognize the legitimacy of this government, and even prepared to go to the international arbitration court to litigate, hoping that the international arbitration court could "award" the Palawan island to the Philippines again.
