Chapter 138: You can have a country to back you up
What kind of conspiracy it is, because it is completely unclear about the context of what the two are talking about, Xia Ming can't figure it out, but with the continuous emergence of terms such as "despicable" and "Baath Action Party", Xia Ming screened and sorted out all the information about Madagascar through Xia Xiaoyan, and a new trend in Madagascar finally surfaced.
Socialist Revival Movement......
In the seventies of the last century, the Republic of MΓ‘laga, which had just become independent from the French Community, changed its name to the Democratic Republic of Madagascar and embarked on the path of socialism. Of course, it is not the same thing as socialism in China, but the characteristics of comprehensive nationalization and high centralization are similar, and they are similar to the current line in Latin America.
In the early nineties, the effects of the collapse of the Soviet Union also affected Madagascar, the socialist line collapsed, and Madagascar entered the liberal era of partisan wrestling, which also ushered in the post-colonial era of Madagascar.
Liberty and openness brought Madagascar only a decade of stability, followed by a decade of political turmoil that left many of the new elite suspicious of the current system, some of whom found a new course in history. The Baath Action Party, the ruling party in the socialist era, split into new parties and advocated a return to the socialist line, while the "Party for the Development of Madagascar", formerly known as the "Despicable Party for Power", gave rise to extremist groups that violently seized power, most of which directly called themselves "lowly people".
In the northern districts of Tiana there are several "lowly people", one of which is made up of elites such as teachers, military officers and nature conservation practitioners, who are plotting to establish a "socialist base area" in the north. Echoing the movements of other regions, the whole country was eventually unified.
Radama received a secret order from the central government to clean up these would-be rebels. But the army is no longer credible, the police are even less reliable, and Radama does not want to be the culprit in the open.
At this time, Yang Yuanchang came over with the CIA. The two sides reached a deal. It was up to the CIA to deal with the rebels, and as for what benefits Radama gave, it probably had something to do with that thing.
"Baby is safe with me, you don't need to interfere, you can send scientists over to do research afterwards, I won't give in to this."
"It's not about collecting antiques or gold and diamonds. It is not completely safe to keep it in the basement. β
Radama and Yang Yuanchang finally said the key information, Xia Ming activated the terahertz scanner again, and swept towards the root of the building, and sure enough, a larger artificial structure than the ground could be faintly seen below. It's a pity that the scanner on the drone doesn't have that much power and can't do a detailed scan.
No wonder this Radama spent most of his time in this manor, just like Saddam, digging deep holes in the ground.
The two argued for a while, but nothing came of it. Xia Ming was about to end the eavesdropping when Yang Yuanchang's mobile phone rang.
He answered the phone, um-ah a few times, and after hanging up, he said in a heavy tone: "After Xia Ming appeared in Saudi Arabia, he is now missing again, he must have come to Madagascar!" β
"Activate your eyeliner and find him! As long as he can determine his location. In half an hour at most, a cruise missile will blow him to pieces! β
Heard Yang Yuanchang's vicious declaration. Xia Ming couldn't help but sneer.
Lao Hong also burst out laughing: "It's a pity that the drone doesn't have missiles, otherwise you can blow him up into the sky now." β
yes, alas...... The Vacuum Ghost can't carry missiles.
After giving the drone the order to return home, Xia Ming asked Anson: "Does Albert Evarinana know?" β
Among the "rebel forces" mentioned by Radama and Yang Yuanchang, this name has been mentioned several times, and it should be the most threatening.
"I don't know". Anson shook his head and nodded: "But the surname Evarinana is quite familiar, and there is a local Evarinana family in Antsiranana, which is a medical family and is very famous." The name Albert should be the Christian name. CharrΓ¨re estimates recognized. β
Charge, who was the owner of the manor here, nodded his head again and again when he heard the name: "I know Albert, this young man is the Malagasy man I have ever met who loves his homeland the most. By the way, he also studied in France and China, although he is a doctor by profession, and he also has a good understanding of politics. β
If you have studied in Huaxia, it will be even better.
CharrΓ¨re said that Albert had been treating people in the countryside all year round and that it was difficult to find them, and Xia Ming said: "Let reliable people go and let them tell Albert that there are a large number of medicines looking for buyers." Then tell them whoever brought Albert here, give a thousand dollars. β
Shang Xin looked at Xia Ming with disdain, hateful capitalist!
In the afternoon of the next day, a local happily took ten old men's heads from Xia Ming's hand, and behind him, more than a dozen people with loaded guns surrounded a young man with a dark complexion and a face that was indistinguishable from that of an Asian, who looked less than thirty years old.
On Xia Ming's side, Anson and the others were also holding guns, and the two sides looked tense, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
"I don't think you're like a drug dealer," Mr. Albert said in Mandarin with a southern accent.
Xia Ming said: "My medicine only treats the country, not the people. β
Albert paused for a moment, and then looked at Xia Ming carefully with the gaze of re-acquaintance with Xia Ming, and a strange eagerness suddenly rose in his eyes: "Are you ...... Xia Ming? That Xia Ming who invented artificial intelligence!? β
Aren't you a doctor? Why do you have such a wide range of interests and still know me as a person?
Xia Ming was a little surprised, Albert showed a friendly smile, and motioned to his entourage to put down the gun: "I have been paying attention to the operation of your research institute, and I heard that it is only with artificial intelligence and robots that such surgery can be done." My God! A patient with advanced lung cancer, without special drugs and radiation therapy, can save his life just by autoclonal cloning and organ transplantation, which is a complete miracle! β
"I just let artificial intelligence enter the EI era, not invent artificial intelligence," Xia Ming explained, and then shook Albert's hand, and the other party was very forceful, and indeed admired him.
Xiaotang and Liluo's surgery has come to an end, and Xiaoping has temporarily saved her life. The biggest takeaways are several breakthroughs in stem cells, cloning technology, and human neural models. The next stage is to eradicate the lesions completely, which is a more difficult and lengthy challenge.
Albert chatted with Xia Ming for a while about the surgery at the institute, then about his experience of studying medicine in southern China and learning to speak Mandarin at the same time, and finally got to the point.
Albert asked, "I heard it right, you are talking about medicine to cure the country, right?" So. You're looking for me, not because of my profession as a doctor, but because of the 'lowly people'? β
Xia Ming said very directly: "You have been exposed, Radama has found the CIA, and is ready to strike first." β
Albert's face changed, and he didn't ask Xia Ming. Instead, he turned his head and spoke in the local language to a person who was holding an old-fashioned satellite phone and went out to contact someone.
"This surprises me, are you here to help our lowly ones? To put it more bluntly, is it to find a new agent for the Huaxia government? β
Albert's tone was no longer as warm as before: "Although I have a lot of feelings for Huaxia, it is only for individuals. If you stand on the side of the country, the United States, France, China. are all our enemies. Yes, I hate, hate Huaxia! In the past 20 years, Huaxia has sucked much more blood and eaten meat on us than other countries! β
Xia Ming didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"But unlike most people's opinion, I don't think you Huaxia is the biggest threat to Madagascar. As colonists, you are still too young. β
"What your capitalists want, what are they ready to do. It's all on the face, and you can see through it at a glance. Just like the French more than a hundred years ago, no, more straightforward than them, they are a group of robbers who can't see the bottom line. And your government, with its ridiculously hypocritical, is for the vote of the United Nations. Doing everything is completely opposite to the capitalists. β
"But you don't export values, in fact, you don't have values that can be exported, you follow the set of values in Europe and the United States, and I think that's the biggest harm to Madagascar. Liberalism. The market economy is the use of this set of things to tie the interests of the elite class in our country with the interests of the colonizers. β
"It's taking the whole country out of its soul, you know? The majority of well-educated Malagasy people do not want to benefit the country, but to live a more democratic and free life. In their eyes, compatriots are lazy and stupid, living only on handouts, and do not deserve better treatment, what hope is there for such a country? β
Hearing Albert talk about this, Xia Ming asked, "So you want to go back to the old way?" But is that really the way out? β
"We ...... There is no more choice", Albert admits: "I am not really averse to freedom and the market, the key is to see whose freedom is the freedom and whose market is the market." The path that Madagascar is taking now is the colonial road, with only the freedom of the colonizers and the market of foreign merchants. We're selling everything we can, but our lives aren't getting any better! β
"Ten years ago, the Chinese merchants bought all the mahogany from us, what did we get? I'm not an extreme environmentalist, but now Madagascar can't find a single mahogany that can reach more than half a meter in diameter! Ten years ago, in that disaster, we cut down all the mahogany less than ten centimeters in diameter, in exchange for a full meal, and all the money went to the pockets of your Chinese merchants. β
"The current government, no matter who comes to power, is acting as an agent for the colonizers, and they can only maintain their position by channeling their interests to the colonizers. We feel that the time has come to cut off this criminal connection! β
Albert was also a little confused: "As for what to do in the future, we only know the path of socialism, and I believe that it will at least be better than now." β
Not necessarily......
Xia Ming sighed, he didn't know much about politics, but his knowledge was unparalleled, and he could easily access all kinds of past history.
For a small backward country that has nothing but resources, it is not a good choice to go either way, unless, like those countries in the Middle East, there is a black mountain of gold under the buttocks. The road to freedom with the door wide open is the road of centralization that is colonized and closed to the country, and there is no other example of a strange country that oscillates between death and showmanship, let alone success.
But...... It is not necessarily that there is no way out, technology changes human beings, if Madagascar is a blank sheet of paper, the use of science and technology pen, it may not be impossible to create a wonderful picture.
Xia Ming smiled, put aside this arrogant and naΓ―ve thought, and said to Albert: "I didn't come here on behalf of the Huaxia government, nor did I come here to do business, I just wanted to get something from Radama." So, I'd love to help you guys. This would force him to the table to make a deal with me, and of course, it would be nice to take things directly from him. β
Albert sneered: "Even if Madagascar will become chaotic and a lot of people will die? β
"That's not up to me," Xia Ming shrugged, "but it's up to you to decide." If you lowly people want to go back to the old ways, you should not be naΓ―ve to think that you will not pay any price. Just a declaration, or a gunshot, the sinner will bow down, and the country will become yours. β
"You don't look like a scientist at all," Albert said with some frustration.
"I don't want us to be a short-lived deal, though, Natsu. Allow me to address you in the manner of a Chinese person. β
A certain longing rekindled in Albert's eyes: "We are well aware that it is impossible to overthrow the agents of the colonizers on our own. Scientists are more reassuring to us than politicians and businessmen. So, can you help us more? β
"I'm not just a scientist, I'm also a capitalist and a businessman, and I'm going to take a huge risk to help you. And what about my benefits? β
Xia Ming sighed: "You have to give me a reasonable reward to make me willing to take risks." At that time, how different will you be from the current government? β
"Our reward is to give you a country to back up and support your cause", Albert blinked: "Your technology also needs a testing ground." I'm just a doctor. You also know what changes your EI will bring to humanity and what resistance you are facing now. β
I really underestimated this guy, he was pretending to be stupid just now. The two actually thought of it together, I don't know if they are arrogant enough, or naΓ―ve enough.
Xia Ming glanced at Albert deeply. He whispered, "Let's settle the matter first......
Albert smiled: "The matter at the moment is very simple, put a cannon battle on Radama!" β
The two then entered into a substantive discussion, and talked for almost two hours before they came out of the room.
"What did you talk about?"
Shang Xin lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't tell me, you're ready to support the rebels!" β
"There's no way", Xia Ming spread his hands regretfully: "For safety, this is our last resort." β
"Safe?" Shang Xin frowned: "You only thought of security now?" Knowing that when the CIA came along, why didn't you mention it? β
Xia Ming glanced at Albert and said with a smile: "I also regret it, but it's too late now, we were kidnapped." β
"What!?" Shang Xin suspects that something is wrong with his ears.
Albert muttered something, and his men laughed and gestured with their guns. And Xia Ming had already sent instructions to Anson and Lao Hong through PEI, and he didn't react.
"That's right, Mr. Shang, you and Xiao Xia, as well as everyone else, have been kidnapped by us", Albert smiled, "Don't worry, as long as you don't try to escape, or contact Huaxia, we will definitely not hurt you a single hair." β
"Hey! You're playing this trick too roughly, aren't you? Just for me? β
Shang Xin shouted to Xia Ming dissatisfied, if he didn't understand that this was Xia Ming's argument that he had discussed with Albert, he would really have an IQ offline.
Xia Ming said indifferently: "It's just for you, and for the above, it's always an explanation." β
"You ......" Shang Xin choked, he had to admit that this was indeed a good explanation.
"The cannon battle you just said ......"
"Two years ago, you Huaxia sold three sets of Guardian rocket launchers to our government, which were deployed in the military camp north of Ambilube, we don't know what the government was buying this for, to fry fish? As a result, NORINCO issued to the government used goods from Turkey. β
"Probably in order to sell new rocket artillery to Turkey, NORINCO let your government be the receiver."
"Probably, it just gave us a chance, and now the officers and men of the rocket artillery unit are all comrades of our lowly people."
"You mean to use this to hit Radama? It's not accurate enough. β
"Just a few more shots, at least it will scare him."
"Civilian casualties are not considered?"
"Necessary price ......"
"Don't, I see what you mean, I'll see how to improve accuracy."
It should be that the action is ready to fly, Xia Ming and Albert did not avoid everyone, and directly discussed the plan.
Shang Xin's forehead jumped when he heard it, and the emotional "hijacking" was just two words, and he didn't even pretend to look like it on his face!? (To be continued.) )
