Silicon Valley

Others were shocked and puzzled, but Somalis expressed strong support for the government's decision.中√く★.√★√.★

In the months since Somalia joined the "Weiyuan" system, although the lives of Somalis have improved significantly, they are still very poor. During this period, the Somali government has been doing propaganda work continuously, propagating the gap between the state of Madagascar before and the current Williams Empire, propagating how the Comorian nation became wealthy and powerful after joining the Williams Empire, propagating Morocco The change of the entire city after Gadishu was ceded by the Williams Empire.

Although there is a lot of propaganda, they are telling the Somalis over and over again: joining the Williams Empire, Somalis can become rich!

In fact, the Somali government does not need to brainwash. Somalis also very much want to join the Williams Empire. If they can sneak into the Williams Empire as much as possible, once they become citizens of the Williams Empire, they can enjoy medical care, education, subsistence allowances, and pensions. Waiting for welfare, in short, will not go hungry or cold, there is room to live! As Somalis learn more about the Williams Empire, the desire to join the Williams Empire has become stronger and stronger. The government announced that Somalia would join the Williams Empire just to satisfy everyone's desire, and immediately received huge support! The whole country rejoices and parades celebrate!

The whole world was dumbfounded, and I didn't expect this to happen. However, these people who have not been to Somalia do not know Somalia. The civil war in Somalia is not a year or two, but has lasted for decades. The people of Somalia have been tortured by war and hunger, and their fate is so miserable. How much they want a peaceful life and how much they want a strong country to act. rely!

There is an old saying in China called "Fish is not a fish, knows the happiness of fish." How can the Somali's idea be understood by people who enjoy peace and wealth?

Henry invited major media around the world to hold a grand press conference and announced: "The Williams Empire agrees to the decision of the Somali government. We are willing to accept Somalia and are willing to accept Somalis! The Williams Empire is a multi-ethnic integration. As a unified country, we have Malagasy, Comorian and more than ten ethnic groups. From today onwards, there will be one more ethnic group in the Williams Empire, and that is the Somali!"

Henry's impassioned words infected everyone present, including those who watched the live broadcast.

But at this moment, Somalia suddenly burst into a cry of excitement, countless people embraced and wept, and the scene was moving!

"Great, we are also citizens of the Williams Empire now!"

"Mom, we have become citizens of the Williams Empire. Will we never go hungry anymore?" a skinny five or six-year-old boy with a dirty face asked his mother next to him. There is no innocent, carefree look of ordinary children in his eyes, but some helpless eyes that are almost heartbreaking...

A thin black woman hugged the little boy tightly, pressed against his head, and said in a choked voice: "Yes, boy, we will never go hungry again!"

On the screen where Henry held the press conference, scene after scene of pictures and video images from Somalia were continuously played. Through the live broadcast, these pictures and video images were also seen by hundreds of millions of people.

Netizens couldn't help leaving messages on fb, Weibo, r and other platforms.

"The Somalis look so pitiful. For them, joining the Williams Empire is the most correct choice!"

"Yeah, it couldn't be more correct!"

"..."

The U.S. government actually quickly prevented Somalia from joining the Williams Empire, but the number of people watching the live broadcast of the Williams Empire news conference is increasing. People can't help but have a strong sympathy for Somalia, and then they feel that Somalia will join the Williams Empire. Such decisions have expressed their support! If the United States comes forward to stop it at this time, it will definitely be criticized and abused by people all over the world! In addition, Zhou Yu fought Huang Gai-one willing to fight and one willing to suffer. Somalia decided to join the Williams Empire. What about the United States? And it has no right to manage! ! !

When the news conference was about to end, Henry couldn't help but yelled loudly.

"From today, Somalia has officially become part of the Williams Empire!!!"

"The Williams Empire is sacred and inviolable!!!"

As soon as Henry's voice fell, Somalia, Madagascar, Comoros, Socotra Island and other places all sounded the same voice.

"The Williams Empire is sacred and inviolable!!!"

"The Williams Empire is sacred and inviolable!!!"

"..."

The sound was deafening, resounding for nine days, and countless people watching the live broadcast couldn't help but boil with blood!

After the conference, many countries sent congratulatory messages to congratulate the Williams Empire on the acquisition of Somalia.

The original area of ​​the Williams Empire was 60,000 square kilometers, and the area of ​​Somalia was 637,000 square kilometers, which is larger than the Williams Empire. Now, Somalia is incorporated into the Williams Empire, and the area of ​​the Williams Empire has suddenly changed. It has become 237,000 square kilometers, has passed South Africa's 220 thousand square kilometers, and ranked 24th in the world!

China is 960,000 square kilometers, and the United States is 9.364 million square kilometers. Compared with them, the Williams Empire is still far behind. Now, the area of ​​the Williams empire is more than that of the top and the bottom. Madagascar and Somalia have long coastlines, so the sea area is quite large. If you calculate the area of ​​Shanghai, the Williams Empire can be ranked much higher.

When Henry returned to the office, he couldn't help thinking that Somalia had already been incorporated into the Williams Empire. If Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Malawi could also be incorporated into the Williams Empire, it would be a bunker. , The total area can be turned into 3,490,000 square kilometers at once, surpassing India’s 320,000 square kilometers, ranking seventh in the world.

"Your Majesty, the population of Somalia is nearly 10,000, and there is a lot of relief food!" Willett soaked Henry a glass of water, and said with emotion.

"Well, I can still afford 10,000 people!"

"Your Majesty, do you know how much food prices have risen now?" Willett said, "Your Majesty, the farms you control account for 5.2% of the market share of food exports each year, which can provide food and clothing for 200 million people. Question. But since you established the Williams Empire, you have reduced the amount of food exported. Naturally, the price of global food exports has started to rise year by year. From 23 to 25, the price of rice per ton has risen by 34 US dollars. Somalia does not After entering the Williams Empire, food prices must have risen a lot!"

"I can't help it," Henry laughed. "Anyway, the Williams Empire has no shortage of food. The increase in food is good for me. Other countries have to beg me to buy food at a lower price!"

"Your Majesty, Japan has a very small land area, but it has a population of hundreds of millions. It needs to buy a large amount of food every year. When the price of food rises, the most painful thing is Japan! As far as I know, Japan's ordinary bowl of rice Both cost 4 yen, which is equivalent to 2.5 US dollars in our Williams Empire!"

Uh, eating a bowl of rice costs two bucks and five, which is too expensive for Nima, but I like it, and I have to eat poor Japan too!

...

A few days later, Henry asked people to send a large amount of food to Somalia, and sent many employment guides to train them to improve their employability. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. Pirates are used to doing other things. At the same time, a large number of engineering teams and architects were dispatched to prepare for large-scale construction projects in Somalia, establishing public infrastructure, and providing job opportunities for Somalis. In addition, it is also preparing to attract investment. Somalia has an excellent geographical location and belongs to the "Horn of Africa". There are many ships passing by, full of business opportunities, otherwise the industry of pirates will not breed! Before the civil war in Somalia, no one dared to invest, but now Somalia belongs to the Williams Empire. Countless people can not help but rush to invest in Somalia. They are afraid of sending money slowly!

Of course, there are still some Somali pirates here, but the Williams Empire’s navy is already being wiped out, and there is only one ultimate destiny for the pirates: destruction!

On March 2, the Somali pirates were basically wiped out, and the fleet stayed on the island of Socotra. On the 4th, the imperial transport team brought a large number of treasures, which were seized from the Lair of Somali pirates, including gold jewelry, various precious antiques, paintings and calligraphy, and so on.

When Henry heard that it was a treasure seized from a pirate's lair, he was full of curiosity, wanting to see what good treasures there are.

Storage room.

An old man in a robe is the person in charge here. He led Henry and the others as they walked, while introducing the things inside.

"Your Majesty, there are many exotic jewelry necklaces, gold and silver jewelry, and countless old antiques from China, Britain, France, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Myanmar and Vietnam!"

"Anything special?"

Henry looked at the dazzling array of things, dazzled.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please follow me!"

With that, the old man in the storage room took Henry forward, then turned a few turns, and finally stopped in front of a big box made of red sandalwood.

As soon as the box opened, Henry was stunned, and what was inside was a huge bloodstone! Soapstone is the ground stone of cinnabar band, named after the bright red cinnabar which resembles chicken blood. Soapstone contains cinnabar, quartz, chalcedony and other ingredients, and the output is very small and very precious!

The old man introduced to Henry: "Your Majesty, the world's largest soapstone weighs more than 5 tons, and it is the treasure of the Chinese Mingqin Geological Museum. Although this soapstone is only 3 kilograms, its bright red blood content is as high as 7%. , A rare treasure in the world, the value is more expensive than the largest soapstone! Your majesty, its blood shape distribution is very unique, like a fire dragon flying through the clouds and fog, and its aura is extremely extraordinary! And such a bloodstone is invaluable! I am afraid it is. The most expensive bloodstone in the world!"

The old man said that the sky was falling~www.readwn.com~ But Henry couldn't see how it was. The graphic in the bloodstone is a dragon flying through the clouds and fog? This is too abstract... Henry couldn't help but remember that when the tour guide introduced the sights to the tourists, he also described the skyflowers, saying what b fairies cross the sea, Chang'e watching the moon, monkeys stealing peaches... Cough cough, anyway, it's all nonsense, not at all. Well.

However, the only thing the old man was right about was that such a piece of bloodstone was indeed invaluable.

"Your Majesty, you can let the master sculptor sculpt it a little bit. It must be an unparalleled piece of work, which can be used to make decorations at home. It is not only powerful and beautiful, but also able to avoid evil and evil!"

Henry nodded and said, "Very good, by the way, besides the bloodstone, are there any other special things here?"

"Something special?" The old man thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is a treasure map..."

(Ps: I lay an advertisement for my classmate. She opened a Tao~bao~ shop on Tao~bao. Search for the name of the shop: cinnabar, welcome everyone to join! The products inside are dazzling, and the price can be as little as tens of dollars Very beautiful pendant, worn on the body, not only beautiful, but also ward off evil spirits!)
