Chapter 344
"Mr. Robinson, I still don't understand, why do we provoke the super hegemony of the beautiful country?"
"Isn't it nice that we're doing this right now?"
"Our country is now thriving, the national treatment and living standards are not the same as before, and our infrastructure is now improved, and the days are getting better!"
"Why can't we live our little life in peace, and forcibly provoke those behemoths that we can't afford to mess with?"
"Although according to the agreement, I am just a puppet and do not have any decision-making power, but at least I have lived in this country all my life, since my grandfather established the estate here, this is our home, even as an ordinary citizen, I have the right to object, right?"
The Prime Minister of the American Republic, Pasia no longer had the solemn majesty he showed in front of the people, but with a humble and humble face, speaking in a slightly pleading tone to a middle-aged man with a beard and typical Oriental characteristics sitting in front of him....
With a smile full of care, the middle-aged man carefully looked at the thick cigar lit in his hand, sniffed deeply the rising smoke with his nose, nodded with satisfaction, and said:
"Mr. Passia, I have to say that this cigar produced by your estate is of very good quality, very mellow in taste, has a very unique aroma of cocoa beans, and the smoke can condense, which is very wonderful, I personally like it very much!"
"I have a bold idea, why not give up other crops in your estate, switch all to cigar raw materials, and then build a small factory to expand the scale and output of cigar production!"
"You don't have to worry about the sales problem, I'm all inclusive, I can sign a contract with you, no matter how much you can produce, I will purchase at the price of one knife per knife, how about it?"
Pasia sighed deeply helplessly, shook his head, and said: "
Mr. Robinson, our current situation is very dangerous, and we may face disaster at any time, what cigars are you still interested in talking to me about here at this critical moment of life and death?"
"You guys are hidden behind the scenes and can leave quietly at any time, but what about me? And what about the 40,000 inhabitants of this island?
"Although I don't know what your ultimate purpose is, I do know that my role is your scapegoat and shield... Mr. Robinson, you promised me, you will guarantee the safety of my personal property, are you ready to break your word..." The
beard straightened up, stretched out his hand to interrupt Pasia's words, and said with a slight dissatisfaction:
"Mr. Passia, you cannot question our integrity without evidence, this is a serious insult to my personality!"
"Mr. Pasia, according to the agreement we reached in advance, you have no right to interfere in any decision we make, you can only obey any of our arrangements, and you have no right to interfere with our strategic planning and deployment!"
"We spend a lot of money to keep delivering supplies here, but not just to make you have a good life! You know, there are many poorer places in the world today!
"We have already said that we will do our best to ensure the interests of the Republic of Meisheng, as well as the safety of you and your family, and this agreement is still valid today!"
"We have always been very serious about the implementation of the agreement, your family, we have been properly placed in the safest place, give you remuneration and half of your property, we also transfer to your overseas account, even if something happens, we promise to send you and your cabinet members out of the country safely, and let you spend the rest of your life incognito and safe and prosperous, what else do you have to worry about?"
When Passia heard this, the anxiety on his face subsided a little, but he still seemed a little preoccupied, and after a long silence, he hesitated and said:
"Mr. Robinson, first of all, I admit that I am an extremely selfish person, and the first thing that comes to mind is how to protect myself, but..."
"However, since assuming the post of Prime Minister, I have personally felt a pressure, or a responsibility, to see that the living standards of my people under the new government have greatly improved, and even though I know that this is not my credit, I also have a sense of honor
..." "If possible, please protect them..."
Robinson heard this, took a deep look at Passia in front of him, and thought for a while, "
Mr. Pasia,"
"It is not the population or the size of the country that determines the outcome of a modern war, but the technology..."
You know that the small countries in history
, with less than 240,000 square kilometers of land and a population of less than 20 million, occupied a large amount of land, controlled the seas and shipping routes, and ruled a large number of people..." "By the eve of World War I, the small country of Brittles had more than 50 colonies overseas, with a land area of about 34 million square kilometers, equivalent to more than 140 times the area of the mainland, and a colonial population of more than 400 million, equal to 20 times its own population, and this did not include the invisible land - Ocean!
"This is still because the small kingdom of Bres is too small to have so many troops deployed everywhere, otherwise, their occupation area may be even greater!"
"Do you know why this is happening?"
"Because of the gap in technology and industrial capacity, it finally led to the seemingly weak Little Britain, which can have unparalleled advantages over backward areas, and the barren land of the small island country, and the crowded and impoverished domestic environment, so that the small Britain at that time had relatively brave soldiers and troops..."
"Mr. Passia, the potential of war has always been determined by technology and people!"
"With advanced technology, a determined and daring people, are you still afraid that the goddess of victory will not be on our side?"
Pacia nodded in agreement with him, and when Robinson finished speaking, he asked with a puzzled face:
"But why did you choose us?" And where are the advanced technologies and people with the will to fight, you say?
Robinson took a leisurely sip of his cigar and said,
"The reason why I chose this place is because of the geographical location on the one hand, and on the other hand, because you are weak enough, weak is the best protective color!"
"As for the advanced technology and people you mentioned, they have already arrived here, but you can't see it!"
"Now all we have to do is wait for news of victory..."
