Chapter 808: The Sea and the Sky

Chapter 809 Commission

The Greenland subcontinent covers an area of 2.18 million square kilometers, of which 1.83 million square kilometers are covered with thick ice caps. Because there is almost no possibility of agriculture and the difficulty of mining is unusually huge, only tens of thousands of people live in this vast area of 2.18 million square kilometers.

Mrs. Li lived in Greenland, and he was determined to change that. Greenland is more difficult to mine, can it be bigger than Antarctica?

Greenland's coastline is so hot that almost all of the ice-free areas are located along the coastline, and Li Xiantai plans to take advantage of this to establish settlements along the entire coastline. It is about 500 kilometres in a straight line for a settlement, and only 17 settlements are needed to enclose the entire Greenland subcontinent.

The use of mini-reactors to provide sufficient electricity for settlements to accommodate 100,000 people per settlement would support a total of 1.7 million people in the future, far more than the current embarrassing situation of less than 100,000.

The settlement will be built using oil extraction techniques, that is, using a free-falling hammer to hit the ground and strike a wide trench, the construction cost of the four walls of the trench can be almost eliminated, and only the thin walls will need to be renovated inside, which is extremely cost-effective, and the soil that has become unusually strong by the impact will be used to keep warm.

Keeping warm is so important in the Arctic.

The top is covered with transparent polymer material, which turns the trench building into a greenhouse and saves electricity for air conditioning. The greenhouses will always be lit up, with enough light and temperature to nurture the closed farming of indoor crops. The expected settlement, which is self-sufficient in vegetables and meat.

These evenly distributed settlements are then used as origins to explore for mineral resources throughout the subcontinent. In the future, the barren subcontinent will not only be popular, but will also participate in the international division of labor and gain the opportunity to get rich.

For the first time in the world, there will be a country whose population is almost entirely made up of one company, and Ivanhoe Energy will have absolute control over a country, a country of 2.18 million square kilometers, and ban it.

This figure is a small figure for Afghan mining companies that employ 3 million people in Afghanistan.

What's even more incredible is that almost any of the 17 settlements are no longer more than 500 kilometers away from this vast and desolate ice island, so the snow leopard net can make island-wide deliveries through the white-bellied warship bird drone, and the package can be delivered to you in an hour or two.

Unlike the 1-kilogram toys for ordinary consumers, the snow leopard net's parcel drone can carry up to 10 kilograms of goods, food, clothing, tents, etc., there is no problem at all.

Greenland is home to some of the most beautiful flora and fauna, such as blueberries, lingonberries, alpine bearberries, juniper berries, and moss......

Animals include: reindeer, musk oxen, polar bears, arctic foxes, arctic hares, lemmings.

Marine animals: narwhals, humpback whales, orcas, ringed seals, Greenland seals.

Birds in the snow and ice: Rock Thunderbird, Great Crow, White-tailed Sea Hawk, Peregrine Falcon, Spear Falcon, Snow Owl, Little Puffin, ......

Various fish: Atlantic cod, Atlantic salmon, Greenland halibut......

It's a magical place. If there is reliable logistics, wouldn't those curious travelers be tempted to make a trip?

Ambitious plans coincided with the birth of a new Greenland government, with the birth of the capital of Greenland in Yurianahob, the largest town in the south, and Ivanhoe's settlement No. 1 nearby. In the same way, there are basically no other countries in the world that recognize it except for the fox friends of the raven.

Denmark even harshly rebuked the Raven Company and its lackeys for their serious violation of Denmark's sovereignty, and the United States and other countries said they could not agree more.

However, Britain, who is good at playing diplomacy, quietly contacted the new Greenland government, saying that if the Greenland government supports British sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, Britain can consider recognizing the new Greenland government.

It stands to reason that Greenland, which lacks diplomatic support, should be happy to run for a long time, but what Britain did not expect was that the Greenland government was really a lackey of the raven, belonging to the camp of supporting Argentina, and resolutely rejected the "good intentions" of the British.

The British forgot about it without mentioning it, it's time to remind the timid Argentines that our side is fighting with NATO, why hasn't your ally moved at all? What's the use of allies like you?

Argentina said: "What if he is afraid of angering the Americans, the US imperialists, who have mastered the core technology, and he comes to fight us?" ”

The representative of the Raven Company sent by the Good Lord said: "In that case, then you have entrusted us with the task of attacking the Falklands, and we will do the dirty work for you, for we would have already started a war with the British." If it's done, and the Falklands' resources are handed over to us for 15 years, isn't this a good deal? ”

Wow, and this kind of good thing? Isn't this that Argentina doesn't need to say a penny to take back the Falklands? And there is no need to worry about being attacked by US imperialism.

That being the case, Argentina finally got on board the raven ship and declared its recognition of the sovereignty of the People's Democratic Republic of Greenland and proposed to the General Assembly that Greenland be admitted as a full Member of the United Nations.

The Raven Company did not have such a request, which shows that Argentina thinks that the conditions offered by the Raven Company are too good, and that it should do something.

At the same time, Argentina's announcement that it had officially entrusted the task of recovering the Malvinas Islands to private military contractors caused a stir in the international political arena, and everyone knew that a major war would soon be staged.

The Malvinas Islands are also so far away that the good lords are too lazy to go, and are ready to attack the British mainland directly to force the British to make concessions.

The British mainland is only 2,000 kilometers from Greenland, and even the F-35A fighter (A stands for Air Force version) can barely reach it with the help of tankers. So close, isn't our Raven Company a pure man? Because there is no need for you to travel thousands of miles to the Falklands to live and suffer.

When the British Prime Minister heard the bad news, he was so angry that he wanted to smash the cup, he didn't understand, why did the Raven Company choose a third-rate country like Argentina as an ally, but instead ignored the British Empire, one of the permanent members of our Security Council, what is the situation?

Raven's spokesman held a press conference in Switzerland, and the crowd was full of reporters with serious expressions, but this is a new private armed company challenging a nuclear power, and it is unlikely that the scale of the war will be expanded.

Many people are wondering whether it will be the Soviet Union, a superpower, or the Chinese Federation, who is the boss behind this company, and will it eventually lead to a nuclear war?

The Raven Spokesperson is a native of Switzerland, because of his fierce appearance, he was discriminated against when he applied for a job, and now he has only found a controversial job, and he has long been scolded to death by his parents.

It's really fitting that such a fierce guy would be the spokesperson for the Raven Company.

Spokesperson: "Please be quiet, on behalf of Raven Corporation, I have a big announcement. ”

When they came, reporters from various countries flashed their flashing lights, concentrating.

Spokesperson: "As you know, Raven has been entrusted by the Argentine Government to submit a claim to the British Government for ownership of the Malvinas Islands, asking the British Government to provide a definitive response within a week. Otherwise, Raven will use force to play a friendly match against Team British*.

We will choose the birthplace of British nuclear weapons, Clyde Naval Base, as the target of the attack. It's only 40 kilometres from Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, but rest assured that we are playing a friendly match and will not hurt civilians.

We will also make it very clear to the Royal Navy that the weapons we use for air strikes are strategic bombers. If your government is not recalcitrant, Clyde Naval Base will be dealt a heavy blow. I'm afraid your nuclear submarines will be homeless.

That's it, God bless Raven Corporation! ”

After speaking, the reporters raised their hands in an uproar to ask questions.

The BBC reporter was the first to be called up and asked, "Excuse me, are you declaring war on Britain on behalf of Cyrenaica?" ”

Spokesperson: "Cyrenaica, like the Sapphire Company of the Chinese Federation of Argentina, is our client, and we at Raven have taken great care and provided attentive service to our customers, and we will be very sorry if our numerous controversial transactions have caused unnecessary trouble to our customers."

Oh, maybe the client will hire us again at that time. ”

Danish journalist: "Excuse me, how would you respond to the rumors that Li Xiantai, or cyborg is the founder of your company?" ”

Spokesperson: "Our chairman is reluctant to disclose his identity for the time being, even I don't know, I'm just a part-time worker, thank you!" ”

French reporter: "Excuse me, what is the benefit of your company in this world?" Are you not afraid of NATO, the most powerful military organization in the world? ”

Spokesperson: "We're just for business, there are many kinds of business in the world, and we have peers, but maybe we're doing a better job, and I hope NATO doesn't see Raven Company as an enemy, we are peace-loving." ”

German journalist: "What do you think peace is in the 'peace-loving' Raven Company?" Beacon even genius called peace, right? ”

Some of the reporters at the scene laughed.

Spokesperson: "All the countries in South America voted for Argentina, believing that the Falklands belonged to Argentina, and when the British forcibly occupied the Falklands by force, I felt that Raven could justifiably say that we were partners in justice. ”

BBC: "However, you are going to attack the British mainland!" ”

Spokesperson: "You probably don't know where the Falklands are. Our attack on the British mainland is a sign of a friendly match, otherwise, the British Royal Navy will have to run more than 10,000 kilometers and break its legs. We're not talking about friendly matches. ”

American journalist: "You're going to attack from Greenland, right?" ”

Spokesperson: "It's a military secret, but I've also looked at the map, and it seems that Greenland is the closest to Clyde Naval Base, so it's understandable for the outside world to make such a guess." ”>
