Chapter 668 Island Construction Starts
Zhuang Haiyang and his party who returned to the manor were not involved in the subsequent investigation. The Merina authorities also carried out a series of actions around this matter. A few days later, several officials were secretly arrested and interrogated by the military.
What surprised all parties even more was that two days after the incident, a passenger plane direct from China to Merina quickly walked down eighty elite security team members. A batch of materials used for donation arrived on the same plane.
Just when everyone felt that this was Zhuang Haiyang showing his strength, he stayed in Zhuang Haiyang, but took the initiative to appear in the consulate of the Kingdom of Gallic. Everyone knew that the interests of Gallic in Merina should be the largest among all countries.
The reason is very simple. Merina was colonized by the Gaul in the early years. Later, after the War of Independence, it was finally announced that independence was established. Even so, Merina's relationship with the Gaul should be closer than other countries.
However, in recent years, the international status of Gallic has declined significantly. After other countries participated, they began to squeeze or rob the interests of Gallic. Gallic was naturally extremely dissatisfied with this situation.
When the consul of Gallic in Merina was curious about Zhuang Haiyang's active request for a meeting, the consul said happily: "Mr. Zhuang, please rest assured! I will urge the domestic delivery of this batch of orders as soon as possible."
"Thank you! I believe the Consul should also know that as the owner of Riu Island, I will have a lot of things to deal with next. In fact, what happened a few days ago has disrupted my work arrangements, and I feel very annoyed.
Given your country’s reputation and influence in Merina, I also hope that in the future construction of Riu Island can have more opportunities for cooperation with your country. Compared with some countries, I am more willing to cooperate with your country, which is also the recommendation of our consul!”
"Yes, our country of Gaul has always had very close cooperation with your country in international affairs. In fact, in addition to official communication, my personal relationship with your Consul Xu is also pretty good!"
The orders for four civil helicopters and four offshore gunboats are also good for the Gallic State. Most importantly, the order sent by Zhuang Haiyang undoubtedly announced that his investment in Merina will work closely with the Gallic State.
The Gallic Kingdom, which had hoped to expand its interests in Merina, would naturally not miss this opportunity. Compared with the Sam Kingdom, the former colonial glory of the Gallic Kingdom has now almost forgotten.
Joining gangs and bundling partners through interests to ensure that their investment interests in Merina are not infringed. If you continue to fight alone, you will sometimes be very tired and troublesome. Changing your behavior style can only say that Zhuang Haiyang is becoming more and more mature.
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be concealed by many people. Although this order is only tens of millions of US dollars, for other countries with manufacturing capabilities, they also want such orders!
To be honest, the performance of the domestic helicopters in Gallic countries may not have much advantage over that of other countries. As for the so-called offshore gunboats, shipyards in many countries can be manufactured.
Originally, someone wanted to talk about the four offshore gunboats in the order, but soon after, Zhuang Haiyang signed a free donation agreement with Merina's naval general Farim. The donated things were the two gunboats.
As a coastal defense gunboat, the gunboats ordered by Zhuang Haiyang from the Gaul Kingdom this time are naturally more advanced than the gunboats currently equipped by the Merina Navy, with a unit price of nearly 10 million US dollars. The two ships are donated close to 20 million US dollars.
With such a move, even if some people think it is a win over the military, General Farim also said directly: "If this is a win over, I am happy to accept more win over. At least the owner of the village island did not mention any attached conditions.
If his intention of donating is to hope that our Navy Guard will be able to solve the problem of pirates in the future. In that case, his donation may become more valuable and meaningful. Striking pirates is itself the responsibility and obligation of our Navy.
Unfortunately, our annual military expenditure is limited, the offshore defense gunboats equipped with active equipment are also retired gunboats purchased from other countries. Sometimes, such gunboats cannot even catch up with pirate modified speedboats. How can we fight pirates?"
With this general who is highly prestigious in the military and leads naval construction, he has to shut up in shame when he tries to destroy Zhuang Haiyang. With the support of the military, if he wants to attack Zhuang Haiyang, he must also consider the consequences.
As for military intervention, nowadays, people often threaten a sovereign state, and they also need to consider international influence and consequences. Moreover, the Gaul country, which just received the order, cannot be seen by the wall.
China can naturally build things like helicopters and gunboats, and the price will be cheaper. In other words, this is an order, but it is better to say that this is a way to show good for the Gallic. It is rare to have allies, so how could the Gallic miss it?
With the security team members drawn from China in place, they returned to Zhuanghaiyang on Liwu Island again after half a month, and the airlifted supplies began to be arranged by the security team members. They had no place to live in outdoor tents for the time being.
The temporary camp was naturally deployed in the No. 1 construction area. The construction team hired by Merina also began to be responsible for the road maintenance and construction of Riu Island. The security team stationed in the island also began to enter the working state.
Regarding the construction experts sent from China, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Qin Gong, the first phase of the construction of Liwu Island will focus on the construction of the camp and the sewage treatment plant. The domestic engineering team will have some time to come.
According to the conclusions I came to before inquiry, severely polluted areas are not suitable for entry. In the future, I will hire corresponding blasting experts from China and work with the team sent by Merina to blast the mines on the island.
First eliminate possible hidden dangers, and then focus on the construction area No. 1, and start to transform the Liwu Island. This project is very large, so the follow-up work tasks of your team may not be easy!"
"I understand! Before coming, I will cooperate with you not once or twice. I understand your request. Please rest assured that our group will also take care of this project as a key foreign engineering project. When the subsequent construction team and equipment come, it will be much easier."
"I naturally don't doubt your abilities. But one thing is that I hope you and your management team can remember that the workers recruited by Merina must be treated equally. Of course, those who are lazy will be handed over to Mei Fang's management team."
"Well, I remember!"
"There is another point that the pollution here mainly comes from the heavy metal pollution left by mining in the early years. During the construction process, security and protection measures must be done well. At that time, I will arrange for the security team to inspect and conduct random inspections at any time.
At least I don’t want the workers hired by the country and locally to suffer irreparable damage during their work here. During the subsequent construction process, I hope you can listen to the suggestions of environmental monitoring personnel more.”
"Okay! We don't want this to happen either!"
After explaining these tasks, Zhuanghaiyang, which is also staying in Liwu Island, was the same as before. With construction site No. 1 as the center, we began to borrow Dinghaizhu's decontamination capacity to sort out the groundwater veins of Liwu Island that have been seriously polluted.
Especially for the landslide lake area where the pollution is the most serious, Zhuang Haiyang has planned to evolve it into a natural lake after evolving sewage. Today's severely polluted area may be a scenic spot in the future.
After several days of renovation and co-tong, the environment around the No. 1 construction area was naturally greatly improved. What even made the security team members happy was the stench on the island, which seemed to have become much weaker.
Zhuang Haiyang also entrusted the royal family and the Merina government to recruit local workers. During the entrustment process, Zhuang Haiyang also determined the salary of the work and the work they needed to be responsible for after they went to the island.
In order to manage these local workers, Zhuang Haiyang also directly recruited a management team. They were responsible for the management of local workers. Of course, those workers who could receive this salary also had to abide by the discipline of the engineering team.
People who are lazy and lazy will be warned once they find out. The warning will be invalid and they will be directly driven out of the construction team. Naturally, the royal family and the government think that Zhuang Haiyang's request is natural.
If someone pays a salary and only takes money and doesn't work, will that boss be a fool like this?
The result was obvious that when the management team started recruiting workers, a large number of Merina people also began to flock to the registration points. Although they were all working hard, they had no technical content and could do as long as they were young and willing to endure hardships.
As local workers began to enter Liwu Island one after another, they saw the coming and going of Liwu Island, many workers were very surprised. The explosions from time to time made some workers even more frightened.
Fortunately, the accompanying manager also comforted him in time: "Don't worry, it was the abandoned mine that the engineering team exploded in the early years. It was very safe. Professional security personnel were required every day to be responsible for the safety patrol of the construction site and islands.
When you arrive at the camp, I hope you will obey your commands. As long as you work hard, your monthly salary will be paid to you in full. If you don’t work hard, you may be fired.
In that case, I believe that many people who signed up but were not selected will be happy to replace you. If you encounter any problems during the work process, you can also contact me or other managers at any time."
A large part of these hired managers are family members of the Merina military or police. Even some retired military and police officers were hired by Zhuang Haiyang as construction security officers for the construction team.
This approach was naturally recognized by the military and senior police. The speed of the entire island construction was also launched at an astonishing speed. Even the Merina officials who came to visit later also felt that the Chinese infrastructure capabilities were indeed terrifying.
If it were construction teams from other countries, they would be responsible for development and construction, the progress would probably be several times slower. But for many people, they also know that every day the island starts construction, the money spent is the same as flowing water!
