    And just when Redstone was planning to join forces with Su Zhen to "eat" News Corporation, Su Zhen encountered another strange thing.  In fact, Su Zhen and his group were already preparing to leave for the United States, but they were stopped by someone.  "You want me to join the Federation of Southern Polynesia?" Su Zhen looked at the former Speaker of French Polynesia, Lucette Tero, in front of him, and asked. The reason why he said it was the predecessor is because today's French Polynesia will soon  It was renamed the Federation of Southern Polynesia (hereinafter referred to as South Wave) As mentioned before, Sun Island and Moon Island were France's compensation for Su Zhen by borrowing flowers and offering Buddha to quell the poisoned cow incident, and the price was the complete independence of French Polynesia, and afterwards  France also fulfilled its promise and agreed to the establishment of the South Wave Federation, and soon the former speaker will become the first president of the South Wave Federation.  Originally, establishing a country is a very happy thing, but what is so lucky is that when the future leaders of Nanbo were formulating a new country map, they discovered a very important thing. Su Zhen's two small islands  It is very strange that the South Wave is divided into two parts According to international practice, the territorial waters of a country and region are 12 nautical miles wide from the national coastline.  Nanbo has many islands, so although its territory is not large, its territorial waters are very extensive. However, the two islands owned by Su Zhen now bring them a big problem, because the islands owned by Su Zhen, as  Private territories also have territorial waters, and although Su Zhen's two islands are not at the core of Nanbo, they are strangely located at the junction of the two islands.  One of the islands is originally very far away from the other islands in Nanbo, and is connected to Sun Island and Moon Island.  In other words, one of the archipelagos is strangely completely isolated from the other archipelagos by Su Zhen's two small islands, and has become an enclave. Some people would say that this is the same as Alaska in the United States. Alaska is the world's largest island.  The largest enclave, the United States, is not worried at all.  But the problem is that there is no comparison. Because the United States has the most powerful military strength in the world, Canada has no defense against the United States. The maritime position of many Canadian waters is directly controlled by the United States Coast Guard.  Even Canada's homeland defense and air force are under the command of the North American Aerospace Defense Command of the United States. In other words, American warships and fighter planes are in Canada's territorial waters and airspace, and the warships can fly wherever they want.  Fighters can fly wherever they want so the United States has never worried about the control of Alaska And can Nanbo compare with the United States?  Of course it¡¯s impossible, let alone the United States, just take Hong Kong as a city.  Relying on Hong Kong's more than 30,000 police force, it is enough to chase Nan Bo back and forth dozens of times, because although Nan Bo has been established as a country, like many small Pacific countries, it does not have an army, nor did it when it originally belonged to France.  There are only a few thousand police.  Moreover, the entire population of Nanbo is less than 300,000three-fifths of them are Polynesians, and these Polynesians are divided into dozens or hundreds of small tribes distributed on various islands. These tribes all operate independently, and the remaining  Most of the people below are French and European, although they live in Nanbo.  But basically they have retained French nationality. France allows dual nationality anyway What's more, no matter how declining France is, it is still an old capitalist country.  One of the world's great powers Being a Frenchman is better than being a citizen of a small country without even a bit of military power So although these French people still live in Nanbo, they actually have little regard for this newly established country on the map.  The invisible small country has no sense of belonging at all. The reason why it voted for independence was just to get addicted to "democracy".  ¡°And how can the Nanbo government, which basically has no armed forces and only a few thousand security police, control such an enclave?  By these police?  Not to mention anything else, even the armed force of Su Zhen's guards could crush these policemen several times.  ¡°And if this happens, it is estimated that within a few years, the tribes on those islands will become independent on their own Anyway, you can¡¯t do anything to me.  Therefore, Nanbo naturally cannot just sit back and watch the islands turn into enclaves, so the future leaders of Nanbo came up with a way, which is to let Su Zhen's two islands also join the Nanbo Federation.  "Mr. Su, please rest assured that joining the South Wave Federation will not affect your control of your island. This is still your private territory. Our South Wave Federation is originally a joint government of many autonomous territories, so naturally it will not  "Infringing on the rights and interests of various autonomous communities," Lucettetello said in a flattering manner. In fact, another reason why Nanbo wanted to recruit Su Zhen to join the group was that Su Zhen was an American and had a good relationship with the U.S. government.  Since Nanbo has no armed forces at all, it naturally needs the protection of a powerful country with military force, and there is nothing better than the United States in this world.Is it more powerful? It would even be better if the United States could station troops in South Wave. Not only would this not affect South Wave¡¯s sovereignty, but it would also improve South Wave¡¯s international status. This is not a joke, but a fact.  , in the South Pacific, countries like the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Solomon Islands and other countries are too small, have too few populations, have weak economic strength, and their territorial waters are too large, even if they are established  The military is basically useless, so these countries simply do not build armies. Instead, they hand over their own defense to big countries such as the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. This not only eliminates the military threats of these big countries, but also saves financial expenses.  Come down and invest in people's livelihood kill two birds with one stone. More importantly, if the United States is willing to station troops in South Wave, doesn't it mean that the United States recognizes South Wave's international status?  This is what Lucette and other senior leaders of Nanbo value most. They are politicians who are just trying to gain fame.  "But, this doesn't seem to be of any benefit to me?" Su Zhen said with a frown. To be honest, he was not interested in joining this South Wave Federation at all. In his opinion, the so-called "South Wave Federation" was very important.  It was just a joke. Why did France agree to the independence of South Wave so easily?  Because the South Pacific itself has no special products or value except tourism. In terms of finance, France not only cannot make any money, but also has to subsidize it every year. Moreover, the South Pacific has always been regarded as a back garden by the United States and the Navy. France originally  It would be difficult to actually control this place, so it turned out that France only used this place as a nuclear testing site Yes, it was used to test atomic bombs. At first, Su Zhen was quite worried about the nuclear radiation in these two islands.  However, it was later learned that the island where the French nuclear test was conducted was located in the southernmost atoll of Nanbo, more than 2,000 kilometers away from the Island of the Sun and the Island of the Moon.  The distance is almost as wide as Tibet and Haiqing combined. There is no need to worry about this problem at all, not to mention that the last nuclear test was twenty years ago. Twenty years is enough to rebuild Hiroshima twice.  "Well, as long as you are willing, we can give you control of another small island." Lucette shook his teeth and said, this is the bottom line they have discussed.  But Su Zhen still shook his head when he heard this. Although the islands in Nanbo are indeed very beautiful, they have no value at all except for fun. For fun, Sun Island and Moon Island are enough. One more  The island has no meaning at all, and a lot of money has to be spent to develop it. The gain outweighs the loss. And if you join Nanbo, it is inevitable that you will have to contribute to the Nanbo government more or less and pay some money every year. Although Su Zhen doesn't care about that.  Money, but you don¡¯t want to give your money to others for no reason, right?  "If that's all, there's nothing left to talk about. You have to know that the United States does not allow dual nationality, and I have no intention of quitting American citizenship, so let's just drop the matter of joining South Wave." Seeing that Lucette could not give himself up,  He refused to say anything because of his heart-beating conditions.  Of course, the fact that the United States does not allow dual nationality is just an excuse. The U.S. Constitution does not explicitly stipulate that dual nationality is not allowed. In fact, it is a tacit attitude.  Lucette naturally knew that this was just an excuse for Su Zhen, but he was powerless. In fact, there was really nothing else that the whole of Nanbo could offer Su Zhen except the small island?  money?  Just kidding, the GDP of the entire South Wave is only a few billion dollars a year, which is just a fraction of Su Zhen¡¯s net worth. Do people care about this?  right?  Nanbo is originally a federal system, and the only thing it can offer is the position of president, but as soon as it was mentioned, Su Zhen directly rejected it. Not to mention that if you want to sit in this position, you have to run a pretentious campaign.  If he makes any mistakes, his reputation will be ruined, and what if he wins the election?  How can the president of such a small country, which needs an army but not an army, an economy but not an economy, and a culture but not culture, have the rights of a bird?  You still have to worry about the country's people's livelihood. Su Zhen only becomes such a president when he has enough to eat, not to mention that he has no interest in politics in the first place. As for his reputation?  Isn't his reputation in any aspect greater than that of being the president of such a small country?  Even the President of the United States has to be polite to him.  Lucette now truly feels that founding the country is not an easy task. There are too many things to worry about. If he had known earlier, he would have been better off being a French citizen. Now he is getting more and more  I feel that I am asking for trouble, but now that I have reached this point, if I back down, I and the entire Nanbo will become the laughing stock of the whole world.  So although Su Zhen refused, Lucette did not leave immediately. Instead, he fell into deep thought, thinking about what he could say to impress Su Zhen. Su Zhen looked at the old man and shook his head boredly.  I really don¡¯t think the other party has the capital to convince me.  For a while, the two people talking fell into silence.  PS: I¡¯ll go.  .  It's not easy, come onI actually talked about this chapter for an hour, using all kinds of sensitive words, and I was speechless.
