Chapter 478 Federal Meeting
“Our reporter reported on the spot that last night, the originally peaceful city suddenly fell into chaos. A large number of refugees gathered on the streets and launched attacks on residents’ residences. They not only robbed property but also beat people. Many people were injured. This sudden riot shocked the residents and the entire city. It seemed to be shrouded in a shadow.
The reporter saw at the scene that the windows of some residents' houses were smashed and the houses were in a mess. Many residents fled their homes in search of safety. The refugees on the streets seemed extremely agitated. Some were holding sticks and some even waving knives. Passers-by threatened and attacked.
In addition to residential buildings, stores in the city were not spared. The reporter visited several stores that were looted and found that the shelves in the store were emptied and the shopkeepers were scattered everywhere. Standing helplessly at the door, watching their hard work being destroyed, some shopkeepers were even beaten. The refugees were attacked and fell to the ground injured.
Even the office building in the city center was attacked. The reporter saw at the scene that the glass door of the office building was smashed and some staff were in chaos. They fled the scene in the chaos, while some people were trapped in the building, waiting for rescue
In this riot, police commander Neil was not spared. According to eyewitnesses, Neil was attacked by refugees while commanding the scene and fell to the ground injured. He was subsequently rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Currently, the police have dispatched a large number of police forces to the scene to maintain order and try to control the movements of the refugees. At the same time, officials also issued a statement calling on citizens to remain calm and not panic. Officials will take all necessary measures to protect the lives and property of citizens.
The cause of the riot is not yet clear, but according to preliminary understanding, it may be related to the refugees' living difficulties and emotional loss. Here, we call on all sectors of society to pay attention to the living conditions of refugees and provide them with more help and support. At the same time, we also hope that the officials can strengthen security measures to ensure the safety of citizens’ lives and property..."
"Bang! "
"You actually spoke for those bastards! Tu'ao is such a mess because of people like you..."
Suddenly, before the reporter on the screen finished speaking, an unknown object hit him and knocked him unconscious.
Then a big man ran up to the camera and spit out sweet things.
However, the audience was not attracted by his words, but focused their attention behind him.
A car was driving fast on the road, ignoring the police's obstruction, and bumped into several cars on the roadside, aiming directly at the marching crowd.
“Bang bang!”
"Bang!"
In a burst of rapid gunfire, several bullet holes appeared in the glass of the car.
The car began to deviate from the direction, grazing the body of the man who had just breathed out the fragrance, and hit a telephone pole.
The telephone pole was hit and fell against the building on the roadside, making a dull sound.
Sparks crackled on the pole, and the crowd suddenly became confused and scattered.
Soon, the screen stopped and advertisements actually started playing.
"Tch! What the hell, I just saw a tense moment."
"Change the channel, change the channel!"
The patients in the hall were shouting. After waiting here for so long, and now their only pleasure has been taken away, they naturally want to find a place to vent their anger.
The people at the hospital did not refuse this request, and they did not want to make any noise here.
The channel switched and it was news broadcast again.
“Due to the seriousness of the situation and the strong public protests, meetings are being held in various provinces and the capital to discuss how to resolve the refugee conflict and the security of Australia and Australia...”
“Oh, this matter It's not easy." An old man stroked his beard and shook his head.
“What’s not a simple method?” asked a middle-aged Chinese uncle next to him.
“Tu’ao’s work efficiency is so low, and it’s only just now that they have taken countermeasures, which seem to be very different from their usual style. They seem to have been prepared in advance.”
"It's become so serious that we must take measures to control it. Maybe it's because there are more Asians and the authorities are starting to get involved. Aren't there a lot of Chinese Americans holding important positions now?" the uncle retorted.
"I have been in Tu'ao for so many years. According to their past handling methods, each province should handle it on its own and will not pay attention to the capital at all, let alone sit down and discuss. Only the federal meeting can We will all gather in Kancun..." the old man continued.
“Hey, you old man, isn’t it written about the Federal Meeting on TV?”
“I am old, my eyesight is not very good, I can’t see such small words... ”
“…”
The main functions of the Tu-Australia Federal Conference include formulating and amending federal laws, representing the people of Tu-Australia, providing a venue for forming the government, and supervising government work. Parliament consists of the House of Representatives (House of Representatives) and the Senate (Senate).
At the federal level, the parliamentary camp is roughly divided into ruling D and opposition D.
In addition to the two major camps, there are also several D factions, such as Green D and Democratic D.
Kancun, ParliamentHouse (Capitol Building).
The building was opened by the Queen of the United Kingdom and at the time of its construction, it was the most expensive man-made structure in the Southern Hemisphere.
This is the core of Tu'ao's administrative and legislative powers.
The building features a unique X-shaped floor plan, with its core intersection located under a six-story glass skylight at the top, where the stately parliament chamber is located.
Its two wings host the House of Representatives and the Senate respectively, forming a balanced and harmonious structure. On the exterior of the building, the most eye-catching elements are the double boomerang-shaped design and a huge 81-meter-high flagpole, which together form the building’s unique identity.
The interior design is equally wonderful, with deep corridors, spacious halls and a large number of rooms. Many rooms are open to the public, with elegant decoration and clean and bright spaces, providing visitors with a comfortable visiting experience. The stairs and their handrails are all made of white marble, a noble material, which highlights the elegance and dignity of the building.
As for the choice of color, the Senate in the building uses ocher red. This color is full of solemnity and stability, symbolizing the dignity and majesty of power. The House of Representatives chose the green color of eucalyptus leaves unique to Tu'ao, which is fresh and natural, symbolizing vitality and vitality, as well as democracy and hope. Such color matching not only makes the building more beautiful, but also has profound cultural connotation.
"Everything is going smoothly so far. Things are progressing exactly as we expected."
"It's so smooth. The commander-in-chief of Mo Village was attacked yesterday." The federal police chief of Kan Village The conductor knocked on the table angrily. Neil used to be his old subordinate. If something like this happened, he would definitely be the first to speak up.
“Don’t be so excited, some sacrifices are necessary.”
“Yes, isn’t everything on track? If Neil is attacked this time, we will give He will award certificates and spend a large amount of money..."
Many people comforted them by saying that these people are liberal and national people, and the people behind them are all capitalists from Tu and Ao.
"Well, now that we have emerged from the impact of the financial crisis, several important companies in Tu'ao are now controlled by foreigners. This will strangle the economic lifeline of the entire country. Now we need to forcibly take back control of these companies. ..."
"Can they agree? If word gets out about this, who will dare to invest in Tu'ao in the future? "
As soon as the people from Free D finished speaking, the people from Work D interrupted? .
“It’s not for free, of course it’s money, no matter whether they agree or not.”
“This will make our Tu’ao lose trust in the world.”
< br>
"Then do you have a better way? We are not targeting everyone. We are only targeting those companies that have a great influence on the country. In addition, those companies are controlled by Asians. No country will fight with us because of this trivial matter. If you fall out, will you cooperate with us if there is any benefit? Tu'ao's various mineral resources are exported in large quantities every year, and they are cheap. With these things in hand, I can What are we afraid of?" "That is, those enterprises are originally owned by Tuao people. They took advantage of the financial crisis and took them away from us. Now it is time for us to return them. At worst, we should give them more. , just treat it as interest.”
Freedom people say this just to make the fathers who support them happy.
"But our Tu'ao is a free country, and this kind of method should not appear on this land." The person from Worker D stood up and spoke at this time.
Since the Asians took over those companies, the treatment of employees has been improved. Although the holidays have not changed much, they are still better than before. This is in line with the purpose of their work.
Although the wages offered by these Asian bosses are not high in their own countries, they are very generous abroad because they just want to gain a foothold in other countries.
Now that workers are in power, they still regard freedom and country as competitors.
The conflict between the two sides suddenly broke out, which made the atmosphere at the venue quite awkward.
"Are you mistaken? What nonsense are you talking about here? Even Ruishi Bank can freeze other people's accounts at will. Why can't we do similar things? What are rights for? Of course it is to take Come and use it, now that the power is in our hands, we can do whatever we want. Besides, this is also for the benefit of the country." The people from country D slapped the table and loudly accused the workers.
"I agree with his point of view, but we need to look better to the outside world and find some 'reasonable' words to drive them away, so that everyone can be decent." The person with green D expressed support.
As the weakest of the four D's, it often plays the role of a walleye, and no one can figure out which party it supports, so it is nicknamed a troublemaker by the other three D's. The main one is that I can't govern, and I It disgusts you.
"I think we should solve the problem of refugees first, and those believers..." The people at Work D seemed to have compromised on this matter, and quickly changed the subject and stopped entangled.
“Give them money and arrange for a plane or ship to send them away!”
“Where to send them? After such a big trouble, who else is willing to take over this mess now?”
>
"How about giving it to our good brother and neighbor, New Zealand Blue? Allocating another amount of money to them can also solve their population problem."
"Come on, I don't want to have conflicts with other countries."
"Should we send them back to their own country? But there is a war over there, and these people will definitely not go back. This will make the situation worse. ."
"I have a proposal, send them near The Republic of Nauru (Nauru)!"
"..."
Suddenly, everyone was silent.
Nauru, the full name is the Republic of Nauru, is located on the vast Central Pacific Ocean, in the blue waters about 42 kilometers south of the equator, northeast of Tuao, with a land area of 21.1 square kilometers.
"Will they agree to go there? And it seems that there can't be room for so many people."
"We pay local fees to be used as wages for refugees. A new airport needs to be built there. , hospitals, universities, we will provide support for all of them. Besides, there are many around. There are places where refugees can be resettled, such as Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, and Fiji.”
“This is a good idea. We can pack them up in batches and send them to beautiful countries.”
"What nonsense are you talking about here? Will the beautiful Congress agree?"
"Why don't you agree? If you want us to do things according to their requirements, then we have to meet our small requirements."
"That is, if they don't agree, we will go to the United Nations Go to the Kingdom.”
“This is a good idea, I agree!”
“I agree too!”
Everyone in the conference hall agreed.
The reason why these people agreed so readily was because the relationship between Nauru and Australia was somewhat complicated.
Nauru must have had economic resources to establish itself as a nation. It was once a rich country, with a per capita GDP of as high as 30,000 U.S. dollars, surpassing U.S. dollars and becoming the number one country in the world. The smallest island nation, known to the outside world as a country that relied on guano to get rich, is now in decline.
The island of Nauru has gone through a long period of time. Countless seabirds have chosen this island as their habitat, leaving behind abundant guano.
Under the baptism of time, these bird droppings have undergone chemical transformation and gradually accumulated into a layer of precious fertilizer up to 10 meters thick, which people affectionately call "phosphate minerals". The phosphate mineral reserves on Nauru Island are extremely rich, occupying about 3/5 of the island, leaving only narrow flat land along the coast of the island.
Phosphate resources have always been an important pillar of Nauru's economy and are mainly exported to Australia, Australia and New Zealand. In the 1970s and 1980s, Nauru's annual phosphate production and exports remained between 1 million and 1.5 million tons. However, since the 1990s, due to over-exploitation, phosphate production has declined year by year, and the resource is gradually facing the crisis of depletion.
Faced with this grim situation, Nauru officials decided to file a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice in 1989, demanding compensation from Turkey and Australia for the ecological damage caused by phosphate mining before Nauru became independent.
After several years of legal battles, Nauru and Turkey and Australia reached an out-of-court settlement in 1993. According to the agreement, Turkey and Australia agreed to pay Nauru 107 million Australian dollars in compensation.
Among them, 57 million Australian dollars will be paid in cash and used to establish a trust fund, and the remaining 50 million Australian dollars will be allocated year by year in the next 20 years (approximately 2.5 million Australian dollars per year), specifically for the mutually agreed upon Environmental protection and development projects.
This shame and humiliation are still fresh in the memory of the Tuao people. Sending these refugees there can be regarded as revenge.
However, Nauru will definitely not agree easily, so they must be fooled first.
These politicians have the confidence to be so sure that the other party will agree to accept refugees.
Nauru Island is a unique geographical wonder. There are no meandering rivers. The only lake, Lake Buada, is not a source of fresh water, but has the characteristics of salt water.
Although this land enjoys abundant rainfall, due to the extremely high water permeability of its surface soil, these precious water resources are difficult to store on the island, resulting in an extreme shortage of fresh water resources on the island.
Therefore, Nauru islanders rely almost entirely on external imports for their drinking water.
As long as Tuao can control the imported water sources, it can make the people of Nauru obedient.
Why did this trick not work before, but the Australians paid compensation to the other party? It was because Nauru was very rich at the time and was a member of the United Nations (Union of Nations), so they did not dare to mess around, but it is different now In the past, Nauru has long lost its original charm.
Due to over-exploitation, phosphate resources are gradually depleted, resulting in a significant drop in Nauru's fiscal revenue. In addition, Nauru's economic development has long relied on the mining and export of phosphate, and the economic structure is too single and lacks diversification. Once phosphate resources were depleted, Nauru's economy was in trouble.
Furthermore, problems such as rising sea levels and land erosion have worsened Nauru's living environment, and its economic development has also been greatly restricted. Issues of fiscal management and corruption are also high priorities.
"By the time the meeting is over, the day lilies will be cold." After browsing the news for a moment, Chen Xi shook his head slightly, then stood up and walked to the bathroom.
The clear tap water poured in his face, like the morning breeze, instantly dispelling his fatigue and refreshing him.
Just as Chen Xi was immersed in the refreshing feeling brought by the water, suddenly, a big hand came silently from behind and firmly pressed the back of his head. Unprepared, his whole head was violently Pressing it under the faucet, the cold water instantly soaked his head.
