Big Islander 2

Chapter 96
The boat that was stealing guano finally stopped, and a group of brown-skinned, tall and fat men surrounded Tang Jide and the others.Tang Datou fumbled around, and couldn't help muttering: "These guys have a good standard of living. They all eat so much, why do they come here to be thieves?"

He didn't know that Nauru is the smallest island country in the world. The area of ​​the island is less than 25 square kilometers, not as big as Peach Blossom Island.If seen from the plane, it is a small black dot, so it is called the pin of the Pacific Ocean.

There are less than 1 people in the whole country, which can be described as a small country with few people.But the living standard of Nauruans is not low at all. In the past period of time, they have earned a lot of foreign exchange by mining and exporting guano-phosphate ore.The standard of living is relatively high, coupled with the preference for fried food in terms of eating habits, coupled with the fact that the island is really too small, and the people lack exercise. For various reasons, Nauruans are generally obese.

Mineral deposits such as phosphate mines are basically non-renewable resources, so in the past two decades, the guano has been sold out, and Nauru's economy has experienced some crises.I don't know why I found out that there is an island in Peach Blossom Island that is rich in bird droppings, so I sent a small transport boat to the front station first.Unfortunately, he happened to be caught.

"You are transporting phosphate from Bird Island, shouldn't you say hello to our Peach Blossom Island?" Tang Datou heard that the other party is a small country, not as good as Peach Blossom Island, so he didn't have much energy, so he still spoke. polite.

Unexpectedly, a big fat man headed by the other party was very arrogant: "It's an uninhabited island, and the mines on it are also unowned. We don't need to say hello to anyone!"

Tang Jide took a closer look at this guy. He is over 1.8 meters five and weighs more than three hundred catties. Standing on the deck is like a door panel.While speaking, he was waving his arms angrily, and his arms were thicker than Tang Jide's thighs.

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head: "A thief is worse than a bitter master? The United Nations investigation team has completed its investigation of Peach Blossom Island and passed the resolution on the establishment of Peach Blossom Island. The five surrounding small islands are the territory of Peach Blossom Island. You guys You’ve come here for thousands of miles, and you’re not just eating and drinking, so don’t pretend to be ignorant.”

The big fat man probably couldn't make sense, so he simply stretched out his arms and stomped his feet on the deck twice: "Actions are always stronger than words, come on, let's compare our strength first, if you can knock me down, then Give it back to you!"

The big and small fat people around all admired in their hearts: Marquez really looks good, he is worthy of our Nauruan warrior, he has won three weightlifting gold medals in the Commonwealth Games, he has courage and strength!

Looking at the big head on the opposite side, it is estimated that Marquez's body was sawed in half from the middle, and each half was stronger than him. Coupled with Marquez's natural supernatural power, he would definitely throw his opponent into the Pacific Ocean with a hug.Although the big head jumped directly from the sea to the deck just now, it seemed to be very flexible, but the Nauruans who always pay attention to strength didn't think it was a big deal.

So the fat guys were bold and bold, yelling simple syllables one after another, and dancing to help Marquez.

"Xiao Xia, go up." Tang Jide moved back a few steps and hid behind Xiao Xiami. Strength is really not his specialty, and it's not a life-and-death struggle. He can't use many of his ultimate moves.

The Fatty cheering group booed collectively, it was so majestic that Big Touge was a little bit embarrassed; Marquez looked down at Little Xiami, and then waved his big hand like a cattail fan: "I'm not used to bullying children !"

But Xiao Xiami walked forward a few steps with a smile: "Let's try it—" As he said that, he pushed a pair of small palms on Marquez's thigh.

Marquez only felt a strong force coming, and then thumped back a few steps, almost falling off his ass.Fortunately, he was born in weightlifting, and his foot was relatively stable, so he stopped.

Shaking his head, Marquez put away his contempt.Just now, it seemed that what he was facing was not a delicate little girl, but a big brown bear weighing several tons.

"Kid, I'm going to use my strength——" Marquez stretched out his arms, and slammed down diagonally, fiercely and quickly, grabbing Xiao Xiami's shoulder.But such a thunderous blow suddenly failed, and there was no shadow of that little girl in front of him.

Just in a daze, he felt a huge force coming from his hip, Marquez rushed forward a few steps, and then fell to the ground.Above his head, there was a pheasant gloating: "Quack quack quack, what a vicious dog grabbing shit!"

Marquez lay prone on the deck, his expression changing, he was a little embarrassed to get up.It would be excusable to lose to that big guy, but being beaten to the ground by a ten-year-old girl is really too shameful.

"Sir, you can get up now, let's have a good talk." Xiao Xiami squatted there and patted Marquez's generous shoulder.At this time, Banban also got out from her cuff, and walked around Marquez, cleaning up the candy in his pocket by the way.

Bah, bah, bah—Banban quickly spit out the candy in his mouth, and then bared his big teeth at Marquez angrily.Marquez finally found the steps and got up slowly: "I have diabetes, so I can't eat sugar. These are all sugar-free!"

In fact, Nauru has a lot of fat people, so it is also a country with the highest rate of diabetes in the world. Among adults over the age of 25, as many as 30% suffer from diabetes. This also proves the laziness of Nauruans from another aspect, because diabetes is also known as the disease of the rich.

Knowing these things, Tang Jide couldn't help shaking his head: It seems that life is too comfortable, and people lose the motivation to fight.

At the same time, he is also thankful that there is no large-scale exploitation and sale of guano from Bird Island: If it really goes down that road, will Peach Blossom Island become the next Nauru?

With this complicated and profound question in mind, Tang Jide escorted the small transport boat to detour to Sting Island.Because of so much guano, only the stinging islands in the planting base can digest it.

On the way, I met those tourists who were chasing up, and saw that only Xiao Xiami and Tang Jide came out, and the other party obediently caught them without a fight. The tourists were very envious.They simply boarded the passenger ship that rushed over to support them, and headed to Sting Island together, which was the next stop anyway.As for those small boats, they were dragged back to Peach Blossom Island by their own octopus soldiers.

Although it took more than half a circle, the speed of the big ship was also fast, so in the evening, we came to Shudao. In the sunset, we all enjoyed the scene of the octopus soldiers busy salvaging manganese nodules from the trench.

When people saw the incomparably huge body of the old thief, they exclaimed again and again, thinking that they had encountered a sea monster, and such a big king squid really couldn't be seen casually.

Marquez, who has always been a little sluggish, extended Nauru's most revered etiquette to the old thief. It is also an island country. For this legendary sea monster, there is fear and worship from the depths of the soul.

When he saw the little girl who defeated him jump into the sea and walk among the old thief's huge tentacles, he felt completely relieved: No wonder she is so strong, so she plays with the king squid every day !

And seeing the manganese nodules piled up on the beach on the shore, Marquez was even more envious.In the waters of Nauru, there are also rich resources of manganese nodules.It's just that the mining of manganese nodules is not something their small island country can afford, so they can only blindly mine the phosphate mines on the island until they are exhausted, and the country's finances are in deficit year after year.Now Nauru has high foreign debts and owes a lot of money to the United States and Australia.

That's why he did the dirty work of stealing bird droppings. After being caught, Marquez actually felt ashamed and flustered.It's just that Nauruans are used to being comfortable, and they have developed a habit of liking leisure and loathing work, and it is not easy to change it for a while.

What he is even more envious of is that the salvaged manganese nodules can be processed on the spot.Seeing all kinds of metal piled up in different categories on the shore, Marquez finally couldn't hold back, and saluted Tang Jide bravely: "Mr. Island Owner, I have a request, can you lend us these big octopuses?"

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head: "Hey, let's talk about your 'borrowing' bird droppings—"

Although Marquez has brown skin, it can be clearly seen that his face is blushing: "Sir, our country is now facing great difficulties. If this continues, the country will inevitably go bankrupt. Sir, you are preparing to build a country, and you should be able to understand why the country is ruined and the family is destroyed. harm to its people?"

Compared with stealing, Marquez's proposition is much more positive, and Tang Jide has never been a bully.But asking the octopus soldiers to work for them for nothing, Tang Jide is not willing.After discussing with Xiao Xiami for a while, he quickly came up with an idea: "We can consider cooperation. We contribute, and you contribute people and resources. Mutual benefit is the basis of cooperation."

Anyway, the relationship with the little devil has long been in turmoil, and Tang Jide is not afraid of them reversing the old score, so he can send octopus soldiers at will.

Marquez also knows that there is no free lunch in the world: "Okay, I can promise you!"

Tang Jide smacked his lips: "I'm afraid you are not in charge of such a big event, right?"

"To tell you the truth, I am the current president of Nauru." Marquez also had a complete showdown.

The president personally led a team out to steal things, really—— Tang Jide's jaw almost dropped in shock, he didn't even know what to say.But think about it, didn't he, the owner of Peach Blossom Island, go to Great Britain to steal things himself, let alone the second brother.

In this way, Marquez is more pleasing to the eye: "Hey, then I will lend you [-] octopus soldiers. I will do it to the end, and I will refine the ore for you for free. Then we will give you five hundred octopus soldiers for all the proceeds." Five cents, what do you think?"

"Okay!" Marquez stretched out his cattail fan and slapped Tang Jide hard.As a result, Tang Datou didn't pay attention, was staggered by the slap, and plunged into the beach——
