Coupled with the support of the Williams Empire in weapons, energy, food, money, information, etc., even if the other side joins forces, it is not. Austin armed opponent! On the contrary, although the other three forces are united, they are in intrigue, like a pan of sand!

Henry only took a brief look at the report, and he no longer worried about the situation in Somalia. He just ordered that the people sent to infiltrate the Austin armed forces and gradually emptied Austin’s power. Once he became disobedient, deal with it immediately. Drop, and then support another person on stage. Special Teacher【No pop-up window..】

In the chaos in Somalia, pirates have become more rampant. Almost no merchant ships dared to pass by in the Gulf of Aden, and many ships in Yemen, Oman and other coastal areas were robbed by pirates. The city's wonder doctor, Socotra Island, has almost become an intermediate stop for Somali pirates. After the pirates ransacked the merchant ships, they stopped here for supplies!

When Henry saw that this was the case on Socotra Island, he felt that it was time to ask Yemen to purchase Socotra Island.

Like Somalia, Yemen is a country with endless civil wars and poverty. It is one of the least developed countries in the world. 80% of the country's economy depends on oil exports. However, Yemen does not have much oil, and within a few years, Yemen's oil will be exhausted. Young doctor

Moreover, Yemen's food is not self-sufficient, and about 1/2 depends on imports. And because of overgrazing, desertification is becoming more and more serious. In summer, sandstorms often occur. In addition, Yemen is in short supply of water resources and mainly relies on groundwater. However, excessive exploitation of groundwater has further intensified the trend of water shortage!

Although Yemen's income has increased greatly due to the soaring oil prices in recent years, it still relies heavily on international economic assistance!

According to the situation in Yemen, Henry could just prescribe the right medicine.

For food, Henry has; the desertification is serious, and the air water tower can make water. At the same time, Gene Umbrella has also made achievements in the research of desertification plants; and the shortage of water resources can be solved more easily. The construction of desalination plants in the coastal areas of Yemen has passed The pipeline provides a lot of water. Official list

On July 1, Henry asked him to draw up an island purchase plan and sent it to the Yemeni government.

The general content above is: the Williams Empire is willing to buy Socotra Island for $5 billion, and at the same time, it will give away 10,000 air water towers and 100,000 genetically modified desert plant seeds and a large desalination plant!

Socotra Island is not a small island. It has a large area of ​​3650 square kilometers, 3.5 times that of Hong Kong, but its geographical location is much more important than Hong Kong. It is a maritime transport from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea and East Africa. The main road is the main sea traffic road connecting the east and the west, forming the maritime lifeline connecting the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. The strategic position is extremely important. The past fleet of full-time masters here is very large. In the future, if it is developed, it will definitely become one of the world's most prosperous shopping paradise! ! !

However, the countries closer to Socotra Island, except Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, are relatively wealthy, and other countries are not rich. This is not comparable to Hong Kong. However, the innate geographical advantage is there, and the fleet of passing ships can develop Socotra Island. What's more, Somalia, the country closest to Socotra Island, will become part of the Williams Empire in the future. With Henry's support, Somalia will develop at a rapid pace. The city is a magical doctor and these African countries will also develop rapidly under the influence of the Williams Empire! As the African economy took off, Socotra Island became more and more important.

The Yemeni government is now discussing whether to sell the island.

"Your Excellency, Yemen is currently unable to develop Socotra Island, and for a long time in the future, Yemen may still be unable to develop Socotra Island! The current situation in Yemen is very severe, with water and food shortages and serious desertification. Moreover, even if oil is quickly being exploited, Yemen will only become poorer in the long run! The most urgent task now is to transform, just like the UAE, focusing on tertiary service industries such as tourism and finance, in order to get rid of oil rely!"

"Yes, it's time for Yemen to transform!!!" Many people nodded in agreement.

The person who spoke first continued: "However, the transformation also requires a lot of funds, and first needs to solve the problems of water, food and desertification. Unfortunately, Yemen can't afford this money at all! However, the opportunity is here, William The purchase of Socotra Island by the Ms Empire happened to solve a series of problems for us, especially the air water tower and genetically modified desert plants, which have a huge effect on our desertification control. I think we should immediately promise him! President! Your Excellency, I think it's worthwhile to trade an island that has been useless for us for a long time in Yemen for a glorious future!!!"

"Yes, what Vice President Bruce Hope said makes sense!" Everyone supported them.

Yemeni President Christopher pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Well, since everyone agrees to sell Socotra Island, then sell it! Bruce Hope, it's up to you and Williams Empire Exchange~lightnovelpub.net~ complete this!"

"Okay, Your Excellency!" Bruce Hope bent over and replied.

As a result, Yemen and the Williams Empire soon sat at the negotiating table on the purchase of Socotra Island.

A week later, the two sides reached an agreement, and the Williams Empire added an additional $1 billion to the original conditions. Until the moment the two parties signed the contract, the outside world had not heard a word of the Williams Empire buying Socotra Island. To prevent interference by other countries, both sides remained silent. After the agreement was officially signed, a press conference was held to announce the matter to the world!

The world couldn't help being shocked, the Williams Empire actually started to expand again and bought the Socotra Islands with such a large area! ! !

Not only will it drive away pirates, but it will also spend huge amounts of money to develop the island. Heaven on earth. Therefore, if you invest here, you will definitely make a fortune!

At this time, when some pirates staying on the island heard that Socotra had been bought by the Williams Empire, they were instantly shocked and left Socotra by boat overnight.

"Which pirate has the guts to stay on the island!"

A Cyclops captain turned around, waved to the other pirates, and said loudly, "Set sail!!!"
