Chapter 134 Heaven in the Yellow Sand
In early April 1985, a news from Sudan caused a little turmoil. In fact, it was not just the Principal of Nord. Any head of state began to deepen its control over the country.
On April 7, the Sudanese president was overthrown in a military coup!
"Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to cut off the military's authority."
Smith came to the Governor's Office as soon as possible to meet Joseph and put forward this sentence. Judging from his decisive attitude, Joseph didn't know how to answer. Seeing Joseph's appearance, Smith thought he agreed with his words, so he felt relieved.
In the eyes of others, the First Defense Army of the Principal of Nord was reorganized from mercenaries, and most of the mercenaries were a group of people who were interested in interests. Therefore, in the eyes of various countries, the most concerned thing about the Sudan incident was the Principal of Nord.
Other countries should think so, but according to reason, Smith should not have done so. After all, he knew that the mercenaries had been invested by the royal family from the beginning to now, and they were just out of the post and there was no reason to be so prepared.
"Smith, most of the officers of the First Defense Army were from the Royal Nord Military Academy, and I think the Sudan incident had little impact on us."
A tentative reminder to Smith that Joseph did not want to hurt the loyal old minister's heart, otherwise he could have scolded the other party for what he was thinking. After all, doing so would reduce the center and influence the combat effectiveness of the Nord army in the royal family.
Smith naturally understood Joseph's temptation, but he also had his own opinions.
"It's right that a large number of officers from the Royal Military Academy in the First Army of Defense come from the Royal Military Academy, but they live in Africa and the Middle East for too long, which will affect their loyalty to the royal family. I think some new officers should be filled in now."
Where did the new officers come from? Naturally, they are graduates of the Royal Military Academy. Didn’t they be appointed to the First Army of National Defense before? To be honest, they would go to the front line of combat to internships, and only after passing the qualification will they be appointed as officers of the First Army of National Defense.
This approach has never been recognized by the cabinet. They believe that although this will improve combat capabilities, it will affect their loyalty to the royal family. The first priority of the army is not combat effectiveness but loyalty. This is the unified view of the cabinet members.
Similar topics have been debated many times, but Joseph does not want to continue to argue at this time. He understands that it is difficult for them to compromise because of the Sudan military coup this time, since that is the case...
"Okay! I agree with your request, but it's only part of it, and can only serve as the deputy in the company and platoon."
"It's enough to have these, and I don't want to see the combat effectiveness of the First Defense Army decline."
Smith was very happy. He just tried it here. After all, in his opinion, Joseph was not so easy to compromise. It was normal for Joseph to not compromise for a matter of half a year or seven or eight months.
After leaving with satisfaction, Joseph, who was still reading a book, was inactive.
"James!"
"His Majesty?"
"I'm going to go out."
"I'll make arrangements now."
Not to mention, it is indeed much more convenient to have a personal male servant, especially such a professional male servant. He understands how to do many things without saying much.
As he helped Joseph change his clothes, looking at the close-fitting male servant who was still wearing a tuxedo, Joseph couldn't help but tease: "It seems that the heat of Western Sahara has not changed your tradition."
"This is our symbol, Your Majesty!"
James, who was not easy to compromise than himself, made Joseph shrugg. Since he was willing to be so casual, it was not him who was sweating profusely.
Joseph is preparing to take a look at the oasis town under construction. The statistics have been handed over to Joseph. It costs about 300,000 euros (50,000 euros) to build an oasis town with a population of 300. Therefore, the cabinet's first oasis plan is one hundred oasis towns.
Why is there such a big gap between 300,000 euros and 50,000 euros? It is mainly the so-called desert greening technology. The price that the cabinet knows is not the same level as what Joseph knows, so there are such different prices.
There are three types of oasis. The first is a coastal oasis. The city will be built here in the future, which is the main place for greening. The second is to build an oasis along the existing highway. The planned railway is planned to build an oasis. The oasis town is mainly located here, and they will provide supplies and rest places for passing vehicles.
Joseph's travel was naturally extraordinary, especially during such a sensitive period, hundreds of soldiers and dozens of guards were standard, and the Ayuen garrison was ready to support at any time.
The group set out in a mighty manner, with the goal being the nearest oasis town under construction.
"James, how do you feel about Western Sahara?"
"Bervous, dry, can't take a bath, my Majesty!"
When it comes to being unable to take a bath, Joseph laughed. Although artificial lakes are being built now, the tradition here is still not able to take a bath, which makes James and Nord citizens very depressed.
The seawater desalination technology is the source of artificial lakes and lakes that Joseph claims to the public. The oasis has now been completed, and the pipelines from the coast have also been laid to the first oasis. The artificial lake is rippling blue waves. The only thing that is lacking is that the small town civil engineering works on the oasis are still in progress.
The ability to complete the artificial lake water storage so quickly is because it is relatively close to the Atlantic Ocean. It is estimated that it will take two or three years for pipeline laying in other places. However, this time is not important. In just two or three years, the towns have all built up.
In fact, as long as you have an oasis, they can survive. Although there are not many water resources, the plants and trees will increase some rainfall. At the same time, the oasis can also store water, and the necessary water for life can be fully satisfied.
"That's just James in the past. In the future, there will be Loulans. Do you know James?"
"Know some, the kingdom in the legend of the East, the paradise in the yellow sand."
"I like this sentence in the paradise in the yellow sand."
What Joseph had to do was actually this. His purpose was simply to put it as the saying of paradise in the yellow sand, but it was difficult to achieve it! The South was in technology but was the focus of everyone. If his special abilities could be announced, then these would no longer be a problem.
"How much money do you have, James."
"My whole net worth is about 20,000 euros."
Although he was a little confused about Joseph's question, he finally chose to answer, after all, Joseph was his patron and was also the Grand Duke of Nord.
“These towns are very profitable in the future, and I suggest you can invest in some here now.”
