Chapter 119 Desert Greening Technology

ps: Try to be more than three, specially, the medicine prescribed by the hospital doesn't work! Uncomfortable ......

In Christmas 1984, when the European countries were busy with Christmas, a large number of indigenous people in the areas under the de facto control of the Duchy of Nord in Western Sahara began to migrate to the oases and urban peripheries.

The indigenous people of Western Sahara experienced Spanish colonization and Arab rule, and until now they have no faith or country of their own, Joseph's move really won the hearts of many people.

The situation in Western Sahara was discussed by officials of the Duchy of Nord, where Spanish immigrants were naturally inclined to the Duchy of Nord, after all, they were all from Europe, which was an object that could be wooed, and the native population had always been oppressed, and the only thing that could be co-opted was a little sincerity.

Needless to say, Western Sahara was poor, and now Joseph's policy of borrowing sheep was clearly appreciated by the native population and some poor Arab herders.

With the support of Spanish immigrants and these native, Arab herders, Joseph had no difficulty establishing himself in Western Sahara, but how to transform the terrain without being seen by others.

Soon after 1985, the annual Spring Festival of the Principality of Nord was once again popular in Europe, and the streets were full of dragon and lion dances, juggling folk arts, and many Chinese delicacies were also placed on the streets for tourists and other Norde immigrants to taste and buy.

The number of citizens of the Principality of Nord has risen to 370,000 because of Western Sahara, but 300,000 of them are in the Sahara, and the Principality of Nord has less than 100,000 citizens.

Most of the more than 200,000 workers from various countries have applied for immigration, but now that the benefits of the Principality of Nord have been halved, citizens have begun to become less attractive to people who want to immigrate, of course, even so, there are a large number of tourists who come to the Principality of Nord and then emigrate.

The Duchy of Nord was bustling at this time, while the area under the de facto control of the Sahara Nord was busy, with herders waiting in line at the entrance of the agricultural group to sign for their cattle and sheep.

Joseph's policy towards these herders is still very good, a cow and a sheep only need to repay an extra calf and lamb as interest after three years. However, even so, there are only a handful of herders who dare to apply for more than 100 cattle and sheep, not because they are not worried about the policy, but because they are worried that the pastures in the oasis will not be able to support these cattle and sheep.

This continued until the end of January, when the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Duchy of Nord held a press conference to claim that it had mastered the technology of desert greening, albeit at a somewhat expensive price of several million euros per square kilometre.

Not very expensive? The 260,000 square kilometers of Western Sahara are 260 billion euros if all of them are green, and which country can afford this money? Even the combined treasury of the United States and the Soviet Union is not enough, and some people may say that there is no need for so much, and that the desert countries of each small oasis can be satisfied.

But the desert is destined to be poor, unless you have resources such as oil, you can only be doomed to poverty. And even with such resources as oil, such as those in the Middle East, it is very difficult for them to spend tens of millions of euros to convert a few square kilometers of land.

It's not the 21st century yet, those rich people in the Middle East are not yet world-famous, it's true that they have money, but it is also very difficult for them to come up with tens of millions of euros at one time, not to mention that the Principality of Nord has indicated that this technology will not be bought and sold for the time being, only for their own use.

The Royal Nord Academy of Sciences is a big liar? Actually, no, this technology really exists, but the price is more expensive than these millions of euros, and Joseph can't afford it, so he can only borrow the power of the system.

Joseph was not ready to change the landscape of the Western Sahara Desert, but rather to expand the size of the existing oases and then build small oasis transit points along the way to various cities.

The desert is like the sea, these big oases are large islands, and those small oases are small island transit stations, basically ensuring that a small oasis can have a few hundred residents, just a small town.

"The construction of the railway has to be put ahead of other plans, but it will take 10 or even 20 years to build the Western Sahara region, and the Nord region is our foundation, so the construction of the Western Sahara region can only be considered in addition to the development of the Nord region."

Because the Duchy of Nord had not yet established a complete government and established a firm rule in Western Sahara, Joseph's transformation of the resources and land had to be postponed again and again. There is no way around it, and if Morocco suddenly learns that there are large reserves of oil in Western Sahara, he will not regret it.

The fighting power of the First Norwegian Defence Army was very strong, but to start a war with the Kingdom of Morocco, it would be more to lose than to win. Atomic bomb? If the Principality of Nord wants to become a public enemy of the world, then it is not impossible to launch an atomic bomb.

That thing is actually an ornament, a double-edged sword, it can only be seen to deter others, and it must not be used to really cause a war, after all, it is not a country that had an atomic bomb during World War II, nor is it a country that has an atomic bomb.

"Your Majesty, there is some stagnation in the artificial water storage project, and the workers are disgusted with the fact that we are being paid too little."

Naturally, the laborers were not citizens of the Duchy of Nord, a small number of them were citizens of the Western Sahara region of Nord, and most of them were smuggled African residents.

It is not difficult to see from their smuggling behavior that these are a group of people who are dissatisfied with their lives and want to improve their salaries, and now Joseph makes them dig an artificial cistern, and the salary they are only paid is the level of ordinary European laborers, and these guys are satisfied.

Originally, the residents of the Nord West Sahara region did not say anything, after all, the salary was several times or even ten times higher than their daily life, but after such a noise from their companions, they couldn't help but protest along with it.

In the chamber of the Governor's Palace, when Smith spoke out about this difficult matter, the major general of the First National Defense Army quickly stood up and said that if Joseph allowed the use of force, then he would put down the rebellion within an hour.

Okay! It's just a protest, and it's directly defined as a rebellion, and I don't know what those who lead the troubles will think when they know what is going on here, but it can also be seen from here that these Nord officials in the council chamber despise these people.
