Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 120 Desert Greening Technology

PS: Try to stay in the middle of the night, what the hell, the medicine prescribed by the hospital doesn't work!in distress...

On Christmas in 1984, when European countries were busy celebrating Christmas, a large number of local aborigines in the area actually controlled by the Principality of Nord in the Western Sahara began to migrate to the oasis and the edge of the city.

The natives in the Western Sahara region have experienced Spanish colonization and Arab rule, and have not had their own beliefs and countries until now. Joseph's actions really won the hearts of many people.

A group of officials of the Principality of Nord discussed the situation in the Western Sahara region. The Spanish immigrants here are naturally inclined to the Principality of Nord. After all, they are all from Europe. The only thing that can be wooed is a little sincerity.

It goes without saying that Western Sahara is very poor. Now Joseph’s policy of borrowing sheep to herd sheep is obviously very grateful to the local residents and some poor Arab herdsmen.

With the support of Spanish immigrants and these native and Arab herdsmen, it is not very difficult for Joseph to gain a firm foothold in the Western Sahara region, but the difficulty is how to transform the terrain here without being seen by others.

1985 is coming soon, and the annual Spring Festival in the Principality of Nord is once again popular in Europe. The streets are full of Chinese dragon and lion dances, juggling folk arts, and many Chinese delicacies are also placed on the streets for tourists and tourists. Nord and other immigrants to taste and buy.

Due to the Western Sahara region, the number of citizens of the Principality of Nord has increased to 37, but 30 of them are in the Sahara region, and the Principality of Nord has less than [-] citizens.

Most of the more than [-] workers from various countries have passed the immigration application, but now the benefits of the Principality of Nord have been halved, and citizens have begun to become less attractive to those who want to immigrate. Of course, even so, a large number of tourists come to Nord After the German Principality, it tended to emigrate again.

The Principality of Nord is busy at this time, while the area actually controlled by Sahara Nord is busy. The herdsmen who receive cattle and sheep line up at the entrance of the agricultural group branch waiting to sign to receive cattle and sheep.

Joseph's policy towards these herdsmen is still very good. After three years, one cow and one sheep only need to repay one calf and lamb as interest.However, even such herdsmen who dare to apply for more than a hundred cattle and sheep are only a handful. It is not that they are worried about the policy, but they are worried that the pastures of the oasis will not be able to support these cattle and sheep.

This situation lasted until the end of January before it began to change for the better. The Royal Academy of Sciences of the Principality of Nord held a press conference, claiming that it had mastered the technology of desert greening, but the price was a bit expensive and needed several million per square kilometer. EUR.

Not very expensive?The 26 square kilometers of the Western Sahara region will be 600 billion euros if it is fully greened. Which country can afford this amount?Even the combined treasury of the United States and the Soviet Union is estimated to be insufficient. Some people may say that there is no need for so much, and the small oases and desert countries can meet it.

But the desert is destined to be a poor area, unless you have resources like oil, you can only be doomed to poverty.And even if they have resources like oil, such as those countries in the Middle East, it is very difficult for them to spend tens of millions of euros to convert a few square kilometers of land.

It’s not the 21st century yet, and those rich people in the Middle East are not yet world-renowned. It’s true that they are rich, but it’s very difficult for them to spend tens of millions of euros at a time, not to mention that the Principality of Nord has already stated that this technology will not be sold for the time being. For your own use only.

Is the Royal Nord Academy a big liar?Actually not, this technology really exists, but the price is more expensive than these several million euros, Joseph can't afford the money, so he can only borrow the power of the system.

Joseph is not going to change the pattern of the Western Sahara Desert. What he wants is to expand the area of ​​the existing oasis, and then build small oasis transfer stations on the way to each city.

The desert is like the sea. These large oases are large islands, and those small oases are small island transit stations. Basically, it is enough for a small oasis to have a few hundred residents, which happens to be a small town.

"The construction of the railway must be placed in front of other plans, but Western Sahara will take ten or even 20 years to build. Nordland is our foundation. Therefore, we can only consider Western Sahara in addition to ensuring the development of Nordland. construction."

Because the Principality of Nord has not yet established a complete regime and established a firm rule in the Western Sahara region, Joseph's transformation of resource land can only be delayed again and again.This is also something that cannot be helped. If Morocco suddenly knows that there are large oil reserves in the Western Sahara region, it is inevitable that he will not regret it.

The fighting power of the Nord First Defense Army is very strong, but starting a war with the Kingdom of Morocco will definitely lose more than win.Atomic bomb?If the Principality of Nord wants to become a public enemy of the world, it is not impossible to launch an atomic bomb.

That thing is actually a decoration, a double-edged sword, and it can only be used to deter others. It must not be used to actually trigger a war. After all, it is not the country that possessed the atomic bomb during World War II, nor is it the Nord Principality.

"Your Majesty, the artificial water storage project is currently at a standstill, and those workers dislike the low salary we pay."

Naturally, the laborers are not native citizens of the Principality of Nord. A small part of them are citizens of the Nord West Sahara region, and most of them are native African residents who smuggled in.

From their smuggling behavior, it is not difficult to see that these are a group of people who are dissatisfied with life and want to improve their treatment. Now Joseph makes them dig artificial reservoirs, and the salary they give is only at the level of ordinary European laborers. It's no wonder these guys are satisfied.

Originally, the residents of Nord Western Sahara didn't say anything, after all, the salary was several times or even ten times higher than their daily salary, but after such noise from their companions, they also protested involuntarily.

In the meeting hall of the Laayoune Governor's Mansion, when Smith said this embarrassing thing, the major general of the First National Defense Army quickly stood up and said that if Joseph allows the use of force, then he will suppress the rebellion within an hour .

Okay!It was just a protest, and it was directly defined as a rebellion. I don’t know what those people who took the lead in making trouble would think about things here, but it can also be seen from this that the Nord officials in the chamber despise these people.
