Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 135 Paradise in the Yellow Sand
At the beginning of April 1985, a piece of news from Sudan caused the Principality of Nordland to be a little turbulent. In fact, it was not only the Principality of Nordland, but the head of state of any country began to deepen its control over the country.

On April [-], the President of Sudan was overthrown in a military coup!
"Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to reduce the powers of the military."

Smith came to the governor's mansion immediately and asked to meet Joseph, and raised this sentence. Seeing his firm attitude, Joseph didn't know how to answer for a while.Seeing Joseph like this, Smith thought he agreed with his words, so he was a little relieved.

In the eyes of others, the First Defense Army of the Principality of Nord was reorganized from mercenaries, and most of the mercenaries were a group of guys whose interests were paramount. Therefore, in the eyes of all countries, the Principality of Nord should be the most worried about the Sudanese incident.

It is natural for other countries to think this way, but Smith shouldn't be like this. After all, he knows that the mercenaries have been funded by the royal family from the beginning to the present.

"Smith, most of the officers of the Defense First Army come from the Nord Royal Military Academy. I think the Sudan incident has little impact on us."

He tentatively reminded Smith that Joseph didn't want to hurt the heart of this loyal veteran, otherwise he could reprimand him for his intentions. After all, doing so would reduce the center of the Nord army's influence on the royal family and its combat effectiveness.

Smith naturally understood Joseph's temptation, but he also had his own views.

"It is true that a large number of officers of the First National Defense Army came from the Royal Military Academy, but they have lived in Africa and the Middle East for too long, which will affect their loyalty to the royal family. I think some new officers should be added now."

Where are the new officers coming from?Naturally a graduate of the Royal Military Academy.Haven't they been appointed to the First National Defense Army before?To be honest, no, they would first go to the front line of combat "mercenaries" for internships, and only after passing the qualifications would they be appointed as officers of the First National Defense Army.

Such an approach has not been approved by the cabinet. They believe that although this will improve their combat capabilities, it will affect their loyalty to the royal family. The number one priority in the army is not combat effectiveness but loyalty. This is the unified view of the cabinet members.

Similar topics have been debated many times, but Joseph does not want to continue to argue at this time. He understands that it is difficult for them to compromise this time because of the military coup in Sudan. If so...

"Okay! I agree to your request, but it's only part of it, and I can only serve as the deputy at the company level."

"It is enough to have these, and I don't want to see the combat effectiveness of the National Defense First Army decrease."

Smith was very happy. He came here just for a try. After all, in his opinion, Joseph is not such a person who is easy to compromise. It is normal for Joseph not to compromise on one thing for half a year, seven or eight months.

Satisfied and left, Joseph, who was still reading, lost his energy.

"James!"

"His Majesty?"

"I'm going out."

"I'll make arrangements right now."

Needless to say, it is indeed much more convenient to have a personal servant, especially such a professional servant, who knows how to do many things without saying too much.

Helping Joseph change his clothes, looking at the valet who was still in a tuxedo, Joseph couldn't help but tease: "It seems that the heat of Western Sahara hasn't changed your tradition."

"This is our emblem, Your Majesty!"

James, who was less prone to compromise than himself, made Joseph shrug his shoulders, as long as he was willing to be so casual, anyway, it was not him who was hot and sweaty.

Joseph is going to take a look at the oasis town under construction. The statistical results have been handed over to Joseph. It will cost about 300 euros (30 euros) to build an oasis town with a population limit of 5. Therefore, the cabinet's first oasis plan is a Hundreds of oasis towns.

Why is there such a big gap between 30 euros and 5 euros?The main thing is the so-called desert greening technology. The price that the cabinet knows is not at the same level as Joseph knows, so there are such different prices.

There are three types of oases. The first is the coastal oasis, where the city will be built in the future and will be the main place for greening.The second is to build an oasis along the existing highway and the middle of the planned railway. The oasis town is mainly located here, and they will provide supplies and rest places for passing vehicles.

Joseph's travels are naturally extraordinary, especially in such a sensitive period. Hundreds of sergeants and dozens of guards are the standard configuration, and the Laayoune garrison is also ready to support at any time.

The group set off in a mighty way, aiming at the nearest oasis town under construction.

"James, how do you feel about Western Sahara?"

"Barren, dry, unwashable, my lord!"

Speaking of not being able to take a bath, Joseph couldn't help laughing. Although artificial lakes are being built one after another, the tradition here is still not able to take a bath, which makes James and other Nord citizens very depressed.

Seawater desalination technology, this is the source of water for the artificial lake that Joseph announced to the outside world. The oasis has now been completed, and the pipelines from the coast have also been laid to the first oasis. Work is still in progress.

The artificial lake can be stored so quickly because it is relatively close to the Atlantic Ocean. It is estimated that it will take two or three years to lay pipelines in other places.But this time doesn't matter, the towns are all established in just two or three years.

In fact, as long as they have an oasis, they can survive. Although there are not many water resources, the vegetation will increase some rainfall. At the same time, the oasis can also store water, which can fully meet the needs of life.

"That's just James in the past. In the future, there will be Loulan here. Do you know James, Loulan?"

"Know something, the kingdom in the oriental legend, the paradise in the yellow sand."

"Heaven in the yellow sand, I like this sentence."

What Joseph wants to do is actually these. His goal is simply the sentence of heaven in the yellow sand, but it is difficult to achieve it!Nanfang has attracted the attention of everyone in terms of technology. If his special abilities can be announced, then these will no longer be a problem.

"How much money do you have, James."

"Me? The total net worth is about [-] euros."

Although he was somewhat puzzled by Joseph's question, he finally chose to answer it. After all, Joseph was his customer and the Grand Duke of Nord.

"These small towns will be very profitable in the future, I suggest you invest some here now."

What Joseph said is naturally correct. The town is still under construction, and everything is very cheap. If you buy a few properties at this time, then it will become a tourist attraction in a few years. The profit will not be ten times or twenty times Pass.
