Big Islander 2

Chapter 116 Darkness Chen Cang
Even in a pocket country like Nauru, the United States has placed spies.Therefore, when Tang Jide came to Nauru, the White House got the news immediately.

Unexpectedly, this group of people could escape under the missile, and they did not know what method they used to detonate the oil storage tank.After the initial consternation, the White House and the Pentagon began to study countermeasures.Although there is no clear evidence yet, it is basically certain that this incident was done by Tang Jide and others.

According to the consistent strategy of the United States, some people advocate that this should be classified as a terrorist attack, and a series of retaliatory actions should be launched immediately to safeguard the inviolable national interests of the United States; Harm the international image of the United States.

Just when the two factions were arguing, Mr. President produced an investigation report, which listed an octopus attack incident in an island country in Asia, and at the same time showed some pictures of giant octopuses mining in Nauru: "There is evidence Said that Peach Blossom Island can create and manipulate these giant Pacific octopuses through some mysterious means. If these octopuses cause trouble in our American ports, I don’t know how everyone here will respond? "

The two factions who had made generous statements just now fell silent. They finally settled the fact that Peach Blossom Island is not a soft persimmon that was pinched casually. Now it is not a question of whether to fight or not, but whether the United States can afford the consequences.Especially Mr. President, he doesn't want to step down amid public protests.

"But why don't we just let it go? In short, our Ministry of Defense can't swallow this breath!" The Pentagon represents the tough attitude of the military.And for so many years, I have never suffered such a dumb loss.

Mr. President has always remained calm: "Gentlemen, we will not feed tigers. On the one hand, the FBI is collecting evidence, and on the other hand, we must continue to weaken the opponent's strength. If Peach Blossom Island really rises, it will be Our biggest obstacle in the Pacific region. All actions must be carried out around this premise, and we will fully block Peach Blossom Island!"

Tang Jide didn't know that he and his Peach Blossom Island had already been regarded as thorns in the eyes of the world's largest power, and they had launched a series of secret methods.There are conspiracies and plots, and even the agents of the FBI have prepared dozens of assassination operations...

The first method is to eradicate Peach Blossom Island's strategic partner - Nauru.That's why there is this joint debt collection operation, and it is under the banner of the United Nations, so that Nauru has no retreat at all.

Word quickly spread throughout Nauru that the country was simply too small.The people of Nauru, who have been living in comfort, finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and continued to march and demonstrate against the scorching sun.It's just that this time it's not a protest against the three hours of physical exercise every day, but a protest against the wrong decision of the United Nations.

"Don't these people know the principle of repaying debts?" Even the pheasant shook his head.

Tang Jide also smacked his lips: "I have been at ease for too long, this time I should wake up completely—" As the saying goes, born in sorrow and die in peace, Tang Jide now truly understands the meaning of these two sentences.

That night, President Marquez made another televised speech, calling on all the people of Nauru to unite to tide over the difficulties, and to contribute money and strength.Needless to say, some people organized patriotic donations that night. With a population of less than 200, they raised nearly [-] million US dollars in one go.

But compared with the huge debt, the money can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.There is only one path left before the people of Nauru: to sell the entire island.Only in this way, Nauru, a tack on the Pacific Ocean, will disappear forever from now on.

The shadow of national subjugation hangs over everyone's head. Finally, the people who had been ignorant on weekdays began to wake up under this huge pressure. Many people flocked to the sea area where manganese nodules were processed, and spontaneously began to help transport manganese. nodules, or the metal that carries the finished product.The Nauruans, who have always been known for their laziness, finally burst out with a long-lost strength.

However, everyone is clear in their hearts: it is still too late for all of this——

Is it really too late?Marquez doesn't think so, because he still has the last straw: that is the shipwreck in their waters during World War II. It is said that there are a lot of platinum ingots on it. The predicament, and even completely get rid of the old accounts that are weighing on the head, and start a new era.

So he personally took a boat and Tang Jide came to that sea area, trying to collect the last hope from the sea.But what he never expected was that a few salvage ships were operating in that sea area. Just two days ago, they finally determined the location of the sunken ship and began to salvage it.

At this moment, Marquez had an urge to jump into the sea: Is God really determined to abandon the people of Nauru?

Tang Jide also felt a little depressed, because when they arrived, a deep-sea freedom exploration vehicle had just fished out a broken wooden box. Inside the wooden box were bright white platinum gold ingots. Dude, the champagne has been popped to celebrate.

"Don, what should we do now? Do we want to call the police and drive them away!" Marquez was completely panicked, and the few Nauru policemen would be of any use?

The most important thing is that you have already signed a contract with the other party. As long as the contract is in hand, the old beauty dares to take the lawsuit with you to God!

Tang Jide heheed twice: "It's okay, the sunken ship on the bottom of the sea belongs to ownerless property, and whoever has the ability will fish it. When they rest, it will be our turn to dispatch."

Marquez was a little confused, so he followed Tang Jide back to the port in a daze, gathered hundreds of confidants, and made preparations to receive him.After waiting until it was dark, Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami went into the sea and disappeared into the dark sea.

In anxiety and anticipation, Marquez waited until midnight, and finally there was movement on the beach: pieces of silver-white objects were thrown ashore from the sea, and they were pieces of platinum!
"Almighty God——" Marquez crossed his chest devoutly. All of this can only be described as a miracle.

But soon, he saw those thick and long huge arms and legs dancing on the sea surface, and it suddenly dawned on him: Since the octopus soldiers can salvage manganese nodules from the seabed, can't they salvage gold ingots from sunken ships?

As a result, both the sea and the shore began to be busy, and pieces of gold ingots were transported to a warehouse on the shore, where they were neatly stacked together and gathered into a real gold mountain.

At the same time, the salvage ships in the United States are having a celebratory reception. They have already found out that the sunken ship below is the one that transported platinum from the former Soviet Union to the UK, because during World War II, platinum was widely used in the military field. .It was just unfortunate that it was discovered by a German submarine and sunk.According to data, the platinum on board is worth more than $30 billion.

30 billion, what an astonishing sum of wealth, I am afraid it will surpass the legendary treasure ship.So after salvaging two boxes of gold ingots and getting off to a good start, they couldn't wait to start toasting and partying until late at night.

They didn't realize that just overnight, a huge amount of wealth belonging to them disappeared and was transported away by hardworking octopuses, and they could only be happy in the end.

"Leave a few more bucks for others, you guys are simply more ruthless than the three-light doctrine of the little devil!" Tang Jide cheerfully criticized the octopus soldiers. He didn't expect that there would be so much platinum in the sunken ship.Good guy, there are dozens of tons.That is to say, the octopus soldiers are strong and strong. If they were replaced by humans and given to you for nothing, how much can you get overnight?

After dawn, all the platinum ingots were put into storage.The weight is also out, nearly 70 tons, conservatively estimated, worth more than 30 billion US dollars.Even if the two sides split in half, they can each get 15 billion US dollars.Is there anything more exciting than getting rich overnight?

Marquez was dumbfounded when he heard the news, and it took him a long time to sit down on the ground, tears streaming down his face.This amount of money is enough for Nauru to pay off its debts, and there may even be some left over.

It is said that when Nauru was selling guano, it also saw a lot of money.But the wealth in front of him is really a timely help.

With tears in his eyes, Marquez held Tang Jide's hand tightly, and then couldn't say a word.As the saying goes, no thanks for a great kindness, he really couldn't find the right words to express his feelings.

Tang Jide took out his hand and patted Marquez's generous shoulder: "I've been busy all night, it's finally not in vain, I can't stand it anymore, I'll go to bed first-hehe, old horse, don't yell beforehand, let's hold them back first , especially you Nauruans, I believe this incident will change them."

Although Marquez wanted to announce the good news to the public immediately, he still followed Tang Jade's suggestion, because under the threat of national subjugation, the Nauruans finally showed their fighting spirit, and this country needs this kind of spiritual support too much now .

Just when Tang Jide went back to sleep soundly, the people on the salvage ship started working with hope, but for a whole day, the submarine exploration vehicle did not find another platinum ingot, which also made the salvage personnel wonder: Is there only those few A piece, it happened to be fished up yesterday?
But this situation does not match with their investigation of the sunken ship. According to the data, there should be 71 tons of platinum in the sunken ship. Could it be that someone got there first?

Soon, they locked their target on the octopus soldiers, because Nauru obviously has no salvage ability, and the only possibility is those giant octopuses in Peach Blossom Island: since manganese nodules can be salvaged from the bottom of the deep sea, of course platinum ingots can also be salvaged !

The staff members on the salvage ship were immediately dejected, and their busy work was in vain.The most irritating thing is that the other party is still making a fortune in silence. If you salvage it, you should inform us, so as not to waste so much manpower and material resources.However, it seems that people have no such obligation——
