Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 117 Arriving in Laayoune

On November 1984, 11, Joseph's passenger plane landed at Laayoune International Airport in Western Sahara. Because of safety issues, Smith, who had arrived here first, arranged for a regiment of soldiers to protect Joseph.

This was actually the first time Joseph had seen a Nord army other than the Royal Guards. Although it was unclear who was stronger or weaker in combat effectiveness, the Nord defense army was obviously stronger in terms of appearance and morale.

The president of the United States was re-elected a few days ago, which means that the United States can spare no effort to deal with the Nord Principality's acquisition of the Western Sahara region. The fact that the trouble has not yet arrived does not mean that the United States has given up on allowing the Nord Principality to secure the Western Sahara region.

The international airport is some distance away from the main city of Laayoune. Sitting in the bulletproof jeep, Joseph could clearly see the local residents and Arab and European immigrants with complicated and confused eyes outside the window.

They stared at Joseph's convoy and no one knew what they were thinking, but Joseph could probably guess some of them. Some of them wanted to kill themselves, while others were looking forward to their preferential treatment, and most of the rest were for the future. perturbed.

boom!
At this time, there was an explosion not far ahead, and the residents on both sides of the road ran away in fright. Joseph was also startled, but fortunately, he had been prepared, so he stayed in the car calmly and did not move. .

Several light tanks quickly came around and surrounded Joseph's jeep, and the armed helicopter above was also patrolling around looking for suspicious objects.

Just when Joseph was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw the scene of the National Defense Forces wantonly arresting and killing passers-by through the gap surrounded by tanks. His anger flashed past, but when he saw the head of the colonel rushing over, he thought He suddenly held back what he was about to say.

Severe punishment is used in troubled times. Although it is very likely that he will bear the title of a tyrant and lose some popular support, but... Joseph cannot make the people living in the Western Sahara feel that he is a weak person who can be bullied.

In fact, those who ran out and dared to stare at Joseph's convoy were not ordinary people. They were either local mercenaries, wanted criminals from various countries, or some businessmen who came to Africa to sell arms. In short, there were hardly any ordinary people.

Of course, there is no guarantee that there are innocent people among them, but Joseph can only say sorry to these people. It is better not to watch a lot of excitement.

"I'm fine, these...you arrange it!"

Joseph knew the purpose of the colonel's visit, so after explaining that he had nothing to do, he quickly handed over the work to the military to avoid repeating the next order himself.

Some words cannot wait for the other party to speak. If the matter develops in a completely different direction as soon as he speaks, such as the current matter, Joseph will leave the matter to him without waiting for the colonel leader to speak. Once the media disputes, he can say that he does not know. Just push the colonel out at any time.

Cruel and ruthless?If you are in this position, if you still seem to be innocent, then Joseph's death is not far away, not to mention that the head of the colonel may not be willing to bear the blame.

Naturally, Joseph didn't know about the next thing and would not ask about it. After entering the city, he went straight to the Spanish Governor's Palace in Laayoune, which has always been the administrative center of Morocco in the Western Sahara region.

The Governor's Mansion covers an area of ​​about [-] square meters. It is a four-story western-style building. A platoon of soldiers has already been stationed here, so there is absolutely no problem in terms of safety.During the salute of the National Defense Forces, Joseph walked into the Governor's Mansion, and Smith went to other cities for the handover, so the temporary person in charge here is actually a major general of the National Defense Forces.

"Your Majesty, let's declare the First National Defense Army to the outside world!"

Not everyone likes to do things with the title of mercenary. Joseph created these mercenary regiments because he didn’t want to have no force in his hands before. Now that Western Sahara needs regular troops to be stationed, it is inevitable for them to return to nature.

"Yes, but those few mercenary regiments should be kept. They may be useful in the future." It's good to be able to come back, and the rest doesn't matter. This is the major general's psychology at this time.

To be precise, he is still the third major general in the Principality of Nord. The first is the head of the Royal Guards, and the second is the director of the Security Bureau. At the beginning, Joseph also wanted the Ministry of Internal Affairs to belong to the military, but he was rejected by Jie James discouraged.

During the speech, Joseph had roughly browsed the Governor's Palace. Compared with the Nord Palace, it has a different style. The first floor is the hall, the room where the servants live, the kitchen, the wine cellar, the utility room and so on.

The second floor is mainly the office area, mainly the study room and the conference room, followed by a few small rooms. I believe it should be the place where the high-level servants or officials live!
The third floor is where the host and the guests live, mainly the bedrooms, and then there are personal small study rooms and the like. It is already the new century, so Joseph wants to add two fitness rooms and a swimming pool, although he will not live here often .

Under the service of the remaining servants, Joseph sat on the sofa and tasted the red wine in the wine cellar, and asked the major general casually: "So, what is the real situation in Western Sahara now?"

"The situation is not very good, Your Majesty! Now there are protesters in various regions, and the relatively stable ones are European immigrants and Arab immigrants."

"Arab immigrants are also stable?"

"Not all of them. Those who migrated later were all teachers, mainly Arab residents who had lived in the local area for a period of time. They were worried about the future."

Of course, there is a need to worry. This was the territory of the Kingdom of Morocco before. Although they did not bring any benefits to the Kingdom of Morocco, the officials are all Arabs after all.

"Your Majesty, I think our regulations should be issued as soon as possible."

Herman's words made Joseph glance at him, and then he put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "What order? Tell them how much cattle and sheep are subsidized each year, how much food, or promise to solve their work problems as soon as possible?"

"In the beginning..."

"At the beginning, I agreed to Master Alam in this way, but our treasury is not rich. Secondly...no one told us that the situation here is so complicated."

Herman was a little amused by Joseph's apparent desire to play tricks, but at the same time he couldn't help worrying, if these things were not dealt with, wouldn't the 35 billion euros be...

Joseph naturally understood his worries, but he didn't speak but said to the commander of the First Army: "Withdraw all the troops, we only need to ensure the safety of a few big cities."

When it came to safety, Joseph was very emphatic, as if he understood what the major general of the First Army nodded clearly and turned to leave. He didn't even mention the Ministry of Defense regulations.

It stands to reason that the National Defense First Army does not belong to Joseph but to the Ministry of Defense. However, the Ministry of Defense has been useless for a long time. Joseph has already said that it is necessary to report to the Ministry of Defense?
Herman could also see this. As a member of the cabinet, he was naturally a part of the cabinet's income. Loyalty to Joseph had nothing to do with the cabinet and the seizure of imperial power, but he didn't dare to speak at this time.
