Chapter 181: The World's Garbage Dump
At this moment, the door of the welcome room opened, and a group of people walked in with neat steps, led by the supreme head of the Snow Country, General Yuan Zhengxuan, chairman of the Military Self-Government Committee.
General Yuan was a gentle man, with a white beard and hair, but he was in good spirits. Andro knew that he was the patriarch of the Yuan family, one of the three ancient families in the Snow Country, and the three major families were all martial arts inheritance families, and there might be capable ones among them. Now when I see the patriarch of one of the families, I really feel that the aura is magnificent, and it is extraordinary.
Behind him are the members of the Military Autonomous Committee, the highest leading organ of the state.
Andro got up, shook hands with each other, and sat down. Yuan Jixin also sat on General Yuan's side, and sat behind the committee members.
"Jerusalem is thousands of miles away from our snowy country, and it's been a hard journey. General Yuan's magnetic voice rang out, gentle and tough.
"Geography doesn't stop us, because we come with good intentions. Being in the same world, we share the same position and goal. Andro replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
General Yuan smiled: "Speaking of the same world, I think of something interesting...... On the way here, you saw those mines. The kind tone was like that of an old professor.
"Yes, I saw it. β
"Do you know what they're digging?"
"Minerals?"
"It's not. β
"Is it oil? unlikely......" Andro asked himself.
Before the end of the world, because of some kind of chemical weapons, the oil has been solidified in the formation, and it has lost its energy value. There's no reason why you can still mine here.
General Yuan shook his head.
"It can't be a monument. β
General Yuan shook his head again.
"I don't know, please advise. Andro was getting a little impatient with his selling.
"They're digging up garbage. β
"Garbage?" Andro was a little surprised, in these last days there is a shortage of materials, although it is not new for many poor people to make a living by picking up garbage, but digging garbage out of the strata?
General Yuan saw his confusion, smiled, leaned on the hard back of the wooden armchair, and said leisurely:
"Once upon a time, there was a small island, isolated from the sea. It was a very small island, isolated in the middle of the ocean, uninhabited, and therefore not part of any country. At that time, the ocean could be jointly developed, so no one was vying for this overseas enclave.
"For a period of time, there was a serious garbage disposal problem on the mainland: the extremely rich material life produced a large amount of extremely polluting garbage, the garbage disposal problem became more and more serious, the incineration and landfill sites were insufficient, who wanted to use the precious land as a garbage dump instead of building high-rise buildings? So various coastal countries began to throw garbage into the ocean, but the United Nations soon introduced a bill to prohibit the dumping of garbage into the ocean in order to protect the environment, which led to an inevitable result- This remote island has become a natural garbage dump, where tens of thousands of tons of garbage are dumped by nearby countries, and containers full of garbage are dropped by cargo planes. Countless garbage has been dumped here for many years, hundreds of years have passed, and a piece of land has been filled, and the nearby countries have discovered the value of this land, and began to occupy it, and transported soil and stone for artificial reclamation, and hundreds of years have passed, and those highly polluting garbage have been naturally degraded, and it has become possible to survive here, and the place name Yunlai has really appeared at this time. β
Andro looked surprised.
"That's right, that's where our country came from. We are a nation built on the garbage heap of the world. So we don't even exist on the map of many countries. You've never heard of us, and that's probably why. General Yuan sat up straight, "We used to be a poor and weak country, and the surrounding countries wanted to annex us in order to expand their territorial waters. Fortunately, the end is coming, everyone can't take care of foreign affairs, the survival and development of each country itself has become a problem, one government after another has collapsed and dissolved, and human civilization has regressed all the way. Almost all continents were baptized, except us. In the last days, we are struggling to survive, and no country has helped us. After so many years, the garbage buried underground in our country has become minerals, and the garbage of the world has now become a treasure, and countries have moved our minds. Therefore, we have always closed ourselves to the outside world, and we have refused to be coveted by other countries, nor have we accepted help from other countries. Because we don't need to, we can be self-sufficient. β
Because there has been a fault in the culture of the end times, not to mention that the Snow Country is not a country with a long history, so there is very little information about the Snow Country, and even the history of the Snow Country cannot be found in the Jerusalem Library, and Andro This is the first time to understand the history of the Snow Country, from the top leaders of this country.
He continued to listen. It can be seen that General Yuan has something to say, and he still has important statements to make.
General Yuan said solemnly: "You just said that we live in the same world and have a common position and goal, but the world has ruthlessly abandoned us, how can we be qualified to stand on the same position and run towards the same goal with you? We are no longer the world's garbage dump." Therefore, we do not accept anything from the world, but the world does not want to take anything from us! We are an independent and free country, and even if you teachers have the force to override us, we will not become your puppets, this is our attitude. β
The members of the committee all sat up straight and looked at Andro coldly.
Andro nodded, he could imagine how a poor and weak country built on a garbage heap would struggle to survive in the apocalypse, so he deeply sympathized.
The leader of this small country also has the integrity of a soldier who would rather die than give in, which also makes Andro admire. Therefore, he did not fight back strongly, and still said without humility or arrogance:
"Unlike those countries that covet your resources, we don't want to take anything from you, and we respect your sovereignty. You may wish to hear our requirements first. β
General Yuan's face was a little better, and his chin was raised: "Say it." β
"1. Jean Nord, a member of our country who is currently in your country, is a political asylum seeker and needs your protection and escort her back to China. β
"It's not a problem. β
"2. Your citizen, Ruluga Snowmark, has been accepted by Jerusalem as a trainee teacher. We do not mandate that he be taken away, but we hope that your country will respect his personal choice of whether to stay or go. You are also required to protect him and his family, and any sanctions against him and his family must be terminated immediately and their safety in the country thereafter must be guaranteed. β
Someone in the committee whispered a few words in General Yuan's ear to brief him on the situation.
After listening to this, General Yuan said again: "Such a small matter, there is no need to even talk about it. β
"3. Cooperate with the Nianshi Guild and join the alliance against darkness. β
"Hmm...... That's all there is to it?"
"Yes, that's all. β
General Yuan and his staff looked at each other and seemed a little surprised.
"I beg your pardon, we need ...... Discuss. General Yuan got up, and the committee members also got up, entered the side room, and went to discuss and discuss.
In the huge oval welcome room, only Andro and Yuan Jixing were left.
Yuan Jixin beckoned and asked the concierge to replace the cold tea for Andro.
"Looks like we did have a misunderstanding of your intentions. He himself stood up and poured tea for Andro," these three ...... Personally, I don't think it's too much to ask, but I have a little bit of uncertainty. What do you mean by darkness?"
Andro has a good impression of Yuanji's salary, although he is also in an important position, but he does not have an official position. So he began to patiently explain to Yuan Jixin what darkness was.
