Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 111 Ownership of the Western Sahara Region

PS: Thanks to the cold water appraisal and Zixing Zhaoyao for their rewards!
"I hope you can remember today's words!"

Dean Alam ended the conversation between the two very solemnly. After the Western gentleman finished his ceremony, Joseph left surrounded by a file of guards. Looking at his back, Dean Alam couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

On the way, Joseph couldn’t help feeling a little emotional when he recalled the conditions of the Alma Sheikh. It was indeed the character he had imagined, and the only condition was that the residents of the former Western Sahara region should be counted as Nord citizens. The title leading to the Nord Moral State is a bit of a misnomer, but these are nothing compared to the benefits.

"William, how about the information obtained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

William Otto, chief of the Security Bureau who was in the same car, heard Joseph's inquiry and hurriedly took out the detailed information about the Western Sahara region that had been printed out by mail.

"Western Sahara has about 40 inhabitants, a quarter of which belongs to the Sahara Arab Democratic Republic, and the rest is under the rule of the Kingdom of Morocco."

"So what we're actually getting is three-quarters of the Western Sahara desert, and then we have to deal with the possible protests from the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic?"

Rubbing his head, Joseph had a headache. It showed that there was such a recognized country, and those unknown small armed forces did not know how many there were. Joseph suddenly felt that he was taking it for granted.

"Do you need to use force? We can move a division to Western Sahara in a day."

"We still don't know what the outcome will be. Although there are generally no accidents, even if the Kingdom of Morocco agrees to sell the Western Sahara region, we cannot easily use force."

These were not matters of William Otto's responsibility, and the reminder just now was just a casual remark, and now he would naturally not say any more words to find things for himself.

Rabat hotels:
When Joseph said the request of the Alma Dean, Herman also sighed, but as the detailed information was announced, he also frowned like Joseph.

"Perhaps His Majesty overlooked one thing, the Organization of African Unity."

"There is probably the United Nations. They will not let us get the Western Sahara region so easily, as well as the United States and the Soviet Union. Of course, the Soviet Union may not bother to talk to us. They would rather see us in a mess."

The more I think about it, the more headache I get. This matter was thought of on the spur of the moment without detailed discussion by the cabinet. Although it is reckless, it is an opportunity that cannot be missed, and they have too much time to talk about it.

"What's the price of Hassan II?"

Everything is a matter of the future. Now it mainly depends on Hassan II's bid. If he can accept it, then even if the situation in Western Sahara is bad, everything will be worth it.

"I'm afraid the price will not be low."

Herman didn't say it clearly, but his words had already stated everything. Joseph was not as pessimistic as he was, because he felt that Herman seemed to overlook a few things.

"Herman, don't forget about Aziz and Sidi. If they are willing to speak out, plus the pressure from the head of Alam, I believe that there should be no problem in exchange for a low price. Also, remember to say more tomorrow OAU, the United Nations and the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic."

Joseph's words made Herman chuckle. He seemed to have seen Hassan II's constipated face, but the OAU, the United Nations and the Arab Sahara Democratic Republic were indeed big obstacles before him.

When turning to leave, Herman suddenly stopped at the door, and when Joseph wanted to ask in doubt, Herman's words came.

"Director William said that you are not prepared to use force, Your Majesty, I am very glad that you will choose to do so."

……

On the second day, Joseph and Herman came to the Royal Palace of Morocco as scheduled. Looking at the cabinet members and several princes of Aziz in the room, Joseph suddenly felt a little pressure.

"Mr. Herman, we discussed your request yesterday. Due to the previous friendship of the Nord Principality, we agree in principle that Western Sahara should indeed be resold to the Nord Principality."

Neither Herman nor Joseph opened their mouths, because they knew that the really important things had not been revealed. If the price was not suitable, then I believe this transaction would still have to be cancelled.

"The most recent land transaction may be the sale of Alaska by Russia, but it has been a hundred years. Although the Western Sahara region is not as large as the Alaska region, it is not a small territory. So... How much is the Principality of Nord willing to bid? "

Negotiations have already begun. Hermann is the foreign minister of Nord. He should speak at this time. After all, this is his profession. Besides, if Joseph speaks, then things may develop in a bad way, Nord's bad side.

"His Majesty King Hassan II is right. The Western Sahara region is as large as Alaska, but they are also very barren. The real residents living in Western Sahara can be said to live in dire straits. Don't deny it, respected Hassan. His Majesty the Second King."

"We don't want to deny this, but you should understand that this is about the reputation of the Kingdom of Morocco. If the price reaches a satisfactory level, we cannot explain it to our own citizens."

"30 billion euros, in view of the complex situation in Western Sahara, we are willing to spend 30 billion euros to buy this area full of diseases, wars, poverty, and backward education."

In Herman's mouth, the Western Sahara region is simply demoted to nothing, but the real situation is indeed the case, otherwise the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Morocco would not be able to refute it.

"30 billion euros can't stop the people's mouths, Foreign Minister Herman, His Majesty Grand Duke Joseph!"

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I hope you can understand that 30 billion euros is all the assets that the Principality of Nord can withdraw, and even so, we need to mortgage part of it with materials, and the rest will need to be repaid slowly in three years. The situation in the Western Sahara region You also know that if you want to have a better improvement, maybe tens of billions of euros invested in it will not have much effect."

To be honest, at the beginning, Herman's bid has shocked all the cabinet members and royal family in Morocco. This is 30 billion euros, and the total GDP of Morocco this year is no more than that!

But negotiation, negotiation, if there is no negotiation, then what is it called negotiation? Even if the price is a bit unexpected, they still work hard to fight for it. After all, no one would dislike the amount of wealth.

Joseph also knew what the price would be, but he still insisted on doing so, because he suffered some small losses now, and when Morocco regretted it in the future, it would be reasonable for the lawsuit to go to the United Nations Nord Principality.And the 30 billion euros must be repaid with oil. The Western Sahara suddenly has several large oil fields. Even if the Kingdom of Morocco is jealous, they will not be too jealous. After all, they would not think that the resources of the Principality of Nord are the least valuable thing .

You come and go, arguing with each other for several hours, the general result is finally placed in front of the two parties. The general content is that the Principality of Nord will spend 35 billion euros to purchase the Western Sahara region of the Kingdom of Morocco.Among them, 35 billion euros of the 20 billion euros will be replaced by materials and resources such as oil, coal, steel, natural gas, and grain. On average, materials and resources worth about [-] million euros will be supplied to Morocco every year.

The remaining 15 billion will be delivered to the Kingdom of Morocco in euros, [-] million euros in the first year, and the remaining part will be delivered to the Kingdom of Morocco at [-] million euros per year.

The Kingdom of Morocco is very satisfied with this result. Materials and resources are much stronger than the currency. Although we all know that the euro will not depreciate, there will be minor disturbances. Such instability can easily cost the Kingdom of Morocco hundreds of dollars. Even tens of millions of euros, so they are very satisfied.

If the Kingdom of Morocco is satisfied, then Joseph wants to laugh wildly.Resources and supplies?As long as he wants as much of these things as he wants, especially resources, if he just converts a piece of land, then there will be countless oil, natural gas, coal, gold, silver, copper and iron ore.
