There are seven proven lands in the whole world, including three in the East and four in the West. The Yaoxing Empire and the Federation are located on the northernmost of the four continents. There are many people, many countries and many... Wars on the other three continents.
Just as the Oriental envoys who once came to this continent despise the environment where wars continue to break out like wild animals, the people in this known northern continent also despise the people in the other three continents. They are more barbaric and backward. So far, there has been no unified civilization, even in the past.
A series of reasons such as the gap in science and technology, the gap in culture and the gap in social structure make the northern continent occupy a very important position in the western world, among which the Yaoxing Empire and the Federation are the leaders. In the Federation, there are three countries that can enter the east continent through a narrow "corridor". The wars between these countries have basically never stopped, which is also the reason why they lag behind in all aspects. They do not have enough time to develop science, technology and civilization. Naturally, in many places, they are not comparable to the northern continent, which has unified the continental civilization for several times.
Of course, although there are still five countries on this land.
The reason why businessmen suddenly want to buy islands that they used to be too lazy to see is also related to a naval battle last month. On the other side of the Strait, the two countries broke out a war because the "other party invaded" their own fields. Many people quarreled in the war. After more than half a month, the two sides were angry and began to discuss who won and who lost, who was reasonable and who was unreasonable.
In this process, they found that the western countries did not have a clear division of maritime territory, so no one knew who the two patrol ships violated other people''s territory before they were countered. In short, this matter has been bullshit to each other.
Until some time ago, those countries believed that in addition to the territory with a clear concept, they should also join the territorial sea, initiated relevant contents, and invited major heads of state or foreign affairs representatives to participate in the discussion and research. They planned to sign international laws and conventions on the territorial sea in the Federal comoy state on the 2nd of next month, that is, February 2.
After this incident broke out, businessmen knew better than the people in the imperial foreign ministry. They even got some finalized conventions. One of them roughly stated that the sea area extending several kilometers from the national territory was the national territorial sea. If there are still islands on this sea surface, the new "land-based" with islands will continue to extend outward.
There is a small accident here, because there are many islands on the West mainland, and wars broke out again between several countries in order to compete for these islands.
After the merchants knew the news, their first thought was that the islands were valuable, because the islands represented the "territory on the sea", and the Empire would pay attention to these islands. No matter how these islands were finally handled, in short, the business that could make money was a good business. A better business was not necessarily money, but something more valuable than money.
So they made a time difference and wanted to buy some islands in their hands. As for whether they want to operate themselves or use these islands as chips to negotiate terms with the Empire to obtain other benefits, it is not clear, because they must have islands first.
Neither Horton nor Dooling knew about this. After the imperial family was raised, the whole country had very little contact with the outside world. In addition, the economic depression and great recession brought about by the post-war war, the focus of the cabinet was not on foreign countries and foreigners who might not deal with each other for more than a few years, Their focus was entirely on a series of social issues to revive the Empire and revitalize the economy.
Few people in China know these things, but they mistakenly estimate the purpose of Dooling''s purchase of these islands. If he just wants to make a sum of money, he may sell the islands to these people.
But he not only knew the word territorial sea, but also knew how convenient a complete private territory could bring to himself, and even said a very extreme word. If Dooling finally can''t stay in the Empire, the Federation may start a war to meet him. reason? Those islands close to the coastline of the Empire are the reason. After mastering these islands, the Federation''s encirclement and dilemma of the Empire on the sea will be unprecedentedly improved, which restricts the development of the Empire on the sea, which is equivalent to holding an extra knife in his hand.
So in any case, Dooling will not sell these islands, no matter what price the other party offers.
When he returned to the manor in the evening, Jose had been waiting for him in the manor. He came to send a message. Nasha wanted to see him tomorrow.
After durin left illian, the manor was vacant. Jose bought his own house, which is in the second district. He got a lot of money from the gold robbery. Although his wealth is certainly not as thick as Buddha, he always has four or five million. But he felt that compared with the 200000 houses in the first district, it was obvious that the 700000 houses in the second district were more economical.
He happened to have something to say to Turin about private wine.
Now the winery has more shipments than before, but the recent profits are less than before. Turin has not said anything about this. Jose feels that he is responsible for reducing his income. Although he didn''t know exactly what went wrong, he didn''t finish the work given to him by Dooling, which meant that he was negligent and he needed to be responsible for it.
This is the problem caused by the limitation of culture and knowledge education. Turin has been asking them to learn, but not everyone can learn. Including Harvey and them, every week, except for the routine military training on Wednesday and weekend to ensure their physical fitness, durin invited several teachers to teach them specially for the rest of the time. But the effect is very "put out people". These bastards learn here and forget there.
After solving Jose''s confusion, Turin took a rest. The taste of sailing at sea is not very good. He is not seasick, but he can''t stand the bumps. It will give people a particularly sleepy feeling. He needs a good rest.
At noon the next day, according to Jose''s message, he came to a restaurant next to Empire Star Media. Near lunchtime, Nasha appeared.
At this time, Nasha was much thinner than the last time she saw her in DIDU, but she was more mature in temperament. All her relatives left her overnight. She not only wanted to maintain the George family brand, but also tried to polish it again. Her task is very heavy, and there is no way to relieve the pressure. She can only forget some troubles through continuous work.
"Sorry, I''m late!" Nasha put her handbag on the table against the wall. She took off her coat and sat down. "When I was in the imperial capital, I wanted to eat fish, but when I came to illian, I wanted to eat steak. Are people so contradictory?"
Turin shrugged, "it shows that you don''t have enough work!" looking at Nasha with a confused face, Turin smiled and said, "because you are still in the mood to consider the problems that philosophers need to think about, I don''t think you''re tired."
They ordered some food respectively. After the waiter left, Nasha sighed, "The comprehensive involvement in the company''s management makes me find that this is a very troublesome thing. There are always some inexplicable contradictions between various departments. Even if I solve these things, there will still be new contradictions, just like someone against me. I don''t want to make me relax. Can I ask a question, how do you manage your industry?"
This is also a place where Nasha is very curious. She is two years older than Turin. She thinks she has much more knowledge and knowledge than Turin, but look back. Now Turin''s industry is much more in charge than her, but she is much more tired than Turin. She believes that there are talents in the world, so she wants to ask how to manage Turin so easily All their own industries.
Two people sitting here look like friends, but they can''t be friends. They always feel strange.
Dooling didn''t mind sharing his experience. He leaned back in a relaxed position, "You must ensure that you have enough prestige to make everyone submit to you and feel fear and dare not do anything against your will. Only in this way will they abide by the rules you make and take the initiative to offend your dignity without the influence of external forces that can compete with you."
Nasha listened very carefully. She said thoughtfully, "do you mean that using high-pressure strategies makes people feel nervous? Is there a more reasonable way of competition to let them understand the result of failure? I understand that enhancing internal competitiveness and expanding the probability of internal elimination will make people feel a sense of crisis. Only in this way can they work seriously!" , Nasha''s eyes were a little complicated. "You always make people feel sudden, Turin. Look, I need to ask you. I believe you didn''t ask others. Only after I knew you did I know that someone in this world was kissed on the forehead by God before he was born!"
Du Lin shook his finger, "you''re wrong..." looking at Nasha''s stunned expression, he thought it was very interesting. "First, I believe in the former king and gods. I don''t believe in God. If the old guy wants to kiss my forehead, the gods will cut off his head first."
"Second, I am not as great as you say, and the management of the industry is not as complex as you think, although I do achieve the degree you think."
"You must be curious about how I did it. It''s actually very simple..." Turin couldn''t help laughing. "I told them that I''d kill anyone who didn''t obey the rules!"
"So they are all obedient!"
