Chapter 334
Back on February 2, a country in the South Atlantic consisting of three islands distributed in the shape of a "pin" ushered in her "critical moment"!
These three isolated islands in the South Atlantic Ocean were originally uninhabited desert islands, but later in the Age of Discovery, by chance, ocean-going ships lost their course due to storms, which discovered this paradise and named it the Island of Luck.
Historically, she has been occupied by four Western powers as colonies or territories, and sent some sergeants, criminals, Indians, and black slaves to the island, so now the few inhabitants of the island are mainly a small number of whites, browns, and a large number of blacks, and the official language is English.
Because this belongs to the southern hemisphere, and this island country is relatively close to the equator, it was once used as a planting land for rubber, palm, coffee and other cash crops, but because the area of this island country is too small, the total land area is less than 300 square kilometers, and the area available for people to live and grow is less than 50 square kilometers, small and pitiful, and far from the mainland and major shipping routes, the main living materials and supplies need to be obtained from the outside world, so its operating costs are high and the economic value is small. Input and output are not proportional, so this small island country was also "independent" in the colonial independence movement that emerged around the world in the 50s of the last century!
Among the three small islands distributed in the shape of "pin", the northernmost island is the largest in size, has the best natural conditions, the most fertile land, and there is a small river on the island, so there is no problem with fresh water supply, so the island has the largest number of residents, with a permanent population of about 30,000, and this small island is also the capital of the island country, with some antiquated infrastructure.
The island has built a small airport with only one runway for small and medium-sized regional passenger aircraft, a terminal capable of calling for ships up to 10,000 tons, and a set of semi-automated bulk handling equipment and a standard container handling equipment.
The island's electricity supply depends entirely on a small coal-fired power station, and because the coal raw material is highly imported, the power supply is not stable enough, and the power is often cut off due to coal shortages.
At present, there are three main economic lifelines supporting this small island country, one is agricultural cash crops such as coffee beans and rubber stock liquid, one is the consumption brought by a small number of tourists, and the last is the registration fee charged by the registered offshore company.
Communication between the island and the outside world is achieved through satellite signals, so telephone, Internet and TV channels on the island are very expensive, and they are also susceptible to weather conditions, and it is not uncommon to have no contact with the outside world for several days!
Therefore, this small island country that is quickly forgotten is basically out of touch with today's world, and the residents living on the island, although they live a very poor life, but they are better at leisure.
It's a little incredible that such an island country still has an army!
This army is a legacy of the Cold War period in the seventies of the last century, and later the world situation stabilized, and the island government tried to disband the army, which was strongly opposed and dissatisfied by the military!
For no other reason, this soldier is very comfortable, although the salary is extremely low, but it is also a job that can make ends meet, coping with training for a few days a week, and the rest of the time can do odd jobs, all kinds of land, etc., and if you are lucky, the officer can barely enter the ranks of the "middle class"!
Such a good rice bowl, if it is smashed by someone, it must not be tolerated!
One can imagine what kind of combat effectiveness such an army will have!
At 2 a.m. on February 10, Li Ershen led 25 "artificial intelligence sub-consciousness carriers" to easily enter the military camp located on the cliff on the southwest side of the island, and disarmed more than 100 people living in the barracks, and announced on the spot that Commander-in-Chief Arsen was dismissed on the spot because of corruption, and then appointed a colonel named Pasia as the interim commander-in-chief.
Then, Li Ershen declared martial law on the spot, entered the state of military control, and ordered the artificial people to lead the soldiers in the barracks to capture important infrastructure such as airports, docks, satellite communication ground base stations, power plants, television stations, radio stations and police stations, and set up inspection posts on traffic arteries, bringing the entire island country under the control of the army.
When Li Ershen led several artificial people and 10 children of the Western Vein of the Mojia family into the three-story small building of the Prime Minister's Office, the then Prime Minister of the island country, Chiesa, was dumbfounded!
Such a broken island, such a population, a GDP of less than 30 million knives a year, even learn what kind of military coup other people are engaged in?
Although Chiesa did not know what they wanted to do, he obediently followed Li Ershen's request, immediately announced the "resignation of the general cabinet", and said that there was no need to use force, as long as their personal safety and property integrity could be guaranteed, they would smoothly cede power, and if necessary, they could also take refuge abroad so as not to cause trouble to the military government, and so on
In the face of such a cooperative government, Li Ershen did not embarrass them, generously made a safety guarantee, and said that as long as there is no trouble, there will be no casualties, and asked Chiesa to give a speech to the whole country to calm people's hearts and so on
.... The whole "coup" ended in less than five hours, and everything went very smoothly, except for the exchange of fire during the storming of the police station, several shots fired, a soldier was slightly injured, a policeman was seriously injured, and the police chief accidentally fell to his death when he jumped from the window on the fourth floor in a hurry in an attempt to escape.
At eight o'clock the next morning, former Prime Minister Chiesa delivered a brief radio address to the whole country, that is, the three islands, roughly indicating that the current government was incompetent, failed to greatly improve the living standards of the people, aroused popular discontent, and was willing to resign and peacefully transfer state power to the new government.
Then, the interim commander-in-chief, Pasia, declared the coup a success, and the island nation was temporarily put under martial law, with him himself serving as prime minister of the military junta and responsible for forming a new interim government. He also announced that the name of the island nation would be changed to "The Republic of Masons", abolishing the existing constitution and starting to write a new constitution, which would be administered by the provisional government until the constitution was completed.
He also announced a list of key cabinet members, names that the islanders had heard of, many of whom held senior positions in the Upper Government.
These arrangements were all carried out according to the plan formulated in advance by the 10 disciples of the Western Vein of the Mo family, and Li Ershen was not good at these, he was better at destroying than building, so he followed Minister Ding's instructions and entrusted all these things to them.
These 10 disciples of the Western Vein of the Mo Family, headed by Fang Mingyu, hid under the superficial military government, established a set of shadow governments, and actually controlled the power of the Meisheng Republic.
Fang Mingyu was actually captured by Takeshita after the great victory of the old shipyard, he served as the top intelligence director of the island country in the Zhonghai region, and later, in the deep consciousness thinking training, he was one of the first 88 Mojia Western Pulse disciples who followed Zhang Mingshan and Li Guanghong to the west to find their father, and fought for nearly 60 years to achieve long-term peace and stability in the Western Regions of the Han Empire.
He participated in the decision-making process of the "Five Strategies for Determining the Country" that led to the sinking of the powerful Xiongnu Empire, planned many bloody conflicts between the Xiongnu nobles, and as a member of the strategist group, he made significant contributions to the strategy of the western veins of the Mo family in the Kushan Empire, the Kangju Empire, Khorezm and the Indochina Peninsula.
This time, he led the team to establish the first stronghold of the re-emergence of the Mojia West Vein in the South Atlantic, which shows how much the top management attaches importance to this incident!
On the second day of the coup d'état in the Republic of America, a 10,000-ton container ship, because of the so-called "wind and waves", asked to enter the port for refuge, and then the ship with Banaha nationality was "requisitioned" and "ransacked" by the military government....
The containers on the ship were filled with all kinds of materials and daily necessities transported from the New Dragon Country, and they were all unloaded by the provisional government unceremoniously!
Then, through radio broadcasting, the provisional government summoned the citizens to the pier to collect food and daily necessities, and claimed that this was the necessary living guarantee provided by the new government to the people, and it was the performance of the new government's responsibility to the people, etc.
At first, the people were still suspicious of the letter and hesitated to come to collect it, but later some poor people could not stand the temptation and became the first people to respond to the government's call, successfully received rich supplies, and bowed to the sergeants lined with a smile in the port!
Slowly, the people gradually let down their guard, and they came out of their homes and came to the dock to form a long line....
This move of the new government quickly stabilized the situation and won the support of the people!
It's just that when the Prime Minister of the provisional government, Pasia, heard that his subordinates dared to rob passing ships, he turned pale with fright, trembling all over and unable to speak!
It is said that when Li Ershen led the troops to drag him out of the bed yesterday in the coup, he had never seen him so afraid; Push him to the puppet position of the commander-in-chief, he is only so pale, and now he "robbed" a cargo ship, as for scaring him like this?
Fang Mingyu knew Pasiah's reaction through his subordinates, smiled slightly, and said:
"Don't worry about him, he is afraid that we will use him as a scapegoat!"
Because the loading and unloading equipment at the terminal was too old, the unloading efficiency was not high, and in the end, after unloading, the empty boxes had to be loaded on the ship again, so this container ship of only 10,000 tons took them three days.
After the ship left the port, two more 10,000-ton ships filled with coal were blown to the port by the "wind and waves", and then the number of days of coal reserve for electricity on the island directly increased from less than half a month to the level of nearly half a year.
Next, such absurd things happened frequently, and a large number of 10,000-ton cargo ships loaded with various materials docked here for various reasons, and then were requisitioned by the provisional government, and then left after unloading ...
At first, the crew members also symbolically roared twice, pretending to protest, but later, they didn't even bother to do it, and directly obediently let the small barge of the port lean up and drag them into the port to dock.
In this way, the national living standards of the Meisheng Republic have risen in a straight line like a rocket, and the days are getting more and more moist day by day, except for the inability to communicate with the outside world, it can be said that it is very beautiful!
Later, various tools and mechanical equipment began to appear in the materials unloaded from the ship, and, coincidentally, a large number of technicians and workers accompanied these equipment.
Pasya has now completely understood!
Where is this pirate, robbing passing ships, this is clearly internal and external collusion, to build this isolated island for some indescribable purpose!
Although he knows it, the barrel of the gun is in the hands of others, and he has no means to report to the outside world, so he can only let it go!
In this way, I don't know how many freighters were robbed before and after, and the appearance of the entire island country began to change significantly!
First of all, the port equipment has been upgraded!
Although this port of the Meisheng Republic is small, because it is a volcanic island, the draft is very deep, it is a natural excellent deep-water port, which can fully accommodate more than 300,000 tons of cargo ships, but because the length of the terminal is too short, and the port equipment is outdated and backward, it can only provide loading and unloading services for ships below 10,000 tons.
Now new gantry cranes, new container cranes, belt conveyor machinery and large grab hopper tools have been transported, and the throughput scale of the entire port has suddenly increased from less than 10,000 tons to 200,000 tons.
The replacement of port equipment is nothing, the key is the big upgrade of port transportation!
In the past, there was only a 10-meter-wide cement road, which was barely enough for the entire port to the island as an inland port evacuation road leading to the island, but now it is definitely not enough!
Then, the cement road was quickly widened to 20 meters, and a 6-kilometer-long railway was built, which completely increased the transportation capacity of the entire port and inland by more than 10 times!
The most important thing is that it took less than half a month to do all this, which made the people of the entire island country drop their jaws!
Secondly, in a relatively flat valley in the northeast of this small island, a modern steel structure simple factory building rises!
This valley was originally a rubber forest, covering an area of about 100 acres, equivalent to almost 400,000 square meters, the valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is excellent!
This rubber forest belongs to the private estate of the previous Prime Minister Chiesa, and the provisional government submitted a request for land requisition to Chiesa, and Chiesa could only helplessly agree, but the provisional government still gave him 550,000 knives at a price of 5,000 knives per mu, which made him very happy!
Soon, a large area of rubber forest was bulldozed, countless construction machinery and construction materials unloaded from the port were continuously transported here, and a large number of construction workers with Asian faces were busy day and night!
The main reason for the construction of this factory building is that this steel structure workshop adopts the method of prefabricated building, and the main structural components are built, transported here, and stacked up like building blocks.
Then, countless equipment and machinery and various vehicles were constantly transporting various materials to the factory....
Under the planning of Zhang Mingshan and Li Guanghong, the plant will be responsible for assembling three types of UAVs, of which the production capacity of front-line air superior UAVs in the main operation can reach 70 per month.
The reason why it has such a high production capacity is because it is only responsible for assembly and maintenance, not production!
The semi-finished products produced by Zhonghai Longhang Industry are transported to the factory and assembled in this factory, which only needs a simple dozen processes to complete.
In addition, a small power plant has been built here, using about 100,000 large thorium-232 nuclear batteries, which can provide sufficient power supply for the plant.
The airport in the Republic of America is also undergoing a large-scale renovation, the entire terminal from the building itself to the internal communication equipment, fully updated, in addition to the length of the runway by 1.5 kilometers, in addition to the construction of two shorter runways for unmanned fighters to take off and land.
Almost two months after the coup, a large container mixed ship without any signs entered the port and docked, and this time it was unloaded from the ship, you can see it at a glance!
This is ground-based radars, vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft missile systems and MLRS!
Pasya looked at all this with a pale face, and the fear in his heart rose to a new height!
The Republic of America, in a short period of time, has evolved into a war fortress!
