I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 330: New country
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
These three days are extremely unusual for the people living in the Panu Islands.
Originally, they thought that the government army would be overthrown by the anti-government army, and as a result the anti-government army was beaten by the rat. Just when they gave up hope to the anti-government army, the mercenaries they hired raised the government flag.
This dramatic change has prevented many people from responding.
But in any case, the revolution is always a victory.
After the barracks were occupied, the insurgents regained their confidence in victory. The soldiers who had not died in the civil war reunited under the new national flag, retrieved the equipment from the occupied arsenal, and then captured The presidential mansion that mimics the White House.
Pull President Edward from the bed before he was awake, and he was pushed to the prison. An insurgent climbed the roof of the presidential palace, cut the yellow flag with a logging axe, and replaced it with a new national flag painted with nine stars and two palm leaves.
Nine stars symbolize the nine islands of the Panu Islands, and palm leaves symbolize victory.
At the same time, surrounded by insurgents, Zhang Yaping, who was elected as the leader of the Civil Liberal Party, took over the presidential palace and read a declaration of statehood in front of a group of sleepy foreign journalists.
The old regime was banned, and the Panu Islands regime changed from a presidential dictatorship to a presidential republic. At the same time, the state system was changed to federalism. The country is called the New Panu Federation, referred to as the new country.
The first president will be Zhang Yaping, who will serve for a term of five years and general elections will be held after five years. The parliament is composed of nine members, who are elected by the voters in their respective constituencies.
Except for minor constitutional amendments to the power of the president, the remaining laws follow the laws of the former regime.
The federation of only nine islands is undoubtedly funny in the eyes of various media. So many Western media are hesitating, whether this news should be placed in the current affairs section or entertainment section.
Next, a BBC reporter asked why the country name is named in Chinese. Zhang Yaping's explanation for this is that 36% of the island's residents are Chinese, and Chinese, English and Dutch are listed as common languages on the island. This is a decision made in consideration of language habits, and don't over interpret it.
At this time, another reporter asked a very sharp question. President Edward relied on the military dictatorship, and why do you guarantee that you will not follow the same path as him.
For this question, Zhang Yaping felt a bit bitter in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He lightly announced a word that shocked all reporters-"defense contracting system"
The defense of the Panu Islands will be fully contracted by Xinghuan Trading Company. Xinghuan Trading Company has the right to recruit mercenaries within or outside Panu to undertake Panu's domestic protection. Xinghuan Trading Co., Ltd. is directly responsible for the Constitution and does not need to obey the President. Employment costs are compensated by customs duties and land rent.
After hearing Zhang Yaping's explanation, all the reporters flashed a thought.
It's crazy.
In this way, it means that the military power of the country is completely handed over to private individuals, and the military is operated in the mode of operating enterprises.
Does such an army have combat power? Can such an army guarantee national security? Is such an army itself safe?
After calming down, these reporters thought about it again. Such a thing is not unprecedented in the world.
At present, the US military is the most dependent on private contractors in the world. More than 60% of the US Department of Defense ’s annual funding is paid to contractors. In addition to fulfilling the most basic military duties, current US soldiers have outsourced large and small matters in the military. From the research and development and manufacture of weapons to logistics services related to eating and drinking Lhasa, private contractors are everywhere.
Government-owned and private contracting can not only save a lot of costs, but also throw the trouble of the fallen soldier ’s pension to private enterprises.
Since there are precedents, this system is not entirely undesirable.
It's just that the entire "Ministry of Defence" was dumped to private contractors so thoroughly that these reporters really heard it for the first time.
I have to say that when it comes to being lazy, this small country with big sesame seeds is at the forefront of the world.
For a time, this small country with a population of less than 20,000 rarely appeared on the homepage of international news several times. At the same time, the Xinghuan Trading Company was also featured in many well-known newspapers.
Various irresponsible speculations have emerged for this unheard of company.
Some people say that there may be oil underground in the Panu Islands, and this star ring trading company is just a subsidiary controlled by a large oil consortium. Some people speculate that this may be the handwriting of Hua Guo, and pave the way for intervening in overseas affairs ...
Of course, no one guesses the relationship between Xinghuan Trading Company and Future International. After all, the two have no ties. Before the ship left West Africa, Jiang Chen canceled the Futur Security Company registered in Niger and transferred the equipment and remaining personnel of the military base to the other two ships. As for the non-transferable infrastructure, he gave it to the Niger government at cost.
The two ships will take the route of the Cape of Good Hope and make a detour to the Panu Islands.
......
On the other side, after the insurgents twisted President Edward and his family to prison, they ran angrily towards Johnny ’s villa.
This time they took a lot of care and learned from the defeat of the last attack on Villa Johnny. This time they mobilized the only armored vehicle that survived the civil war. With the cover of armored vehicles, their confidence is undoubtedly much more.
However, when they felt the Villa Johnny, they found that someone had already been here.
The iron gate of the courtyard wall was lying on the lawn a few meters away as if it had been hit by a car. The wall seemed to be swept by large-caliber bullets, and some places were broken into pieces. Especially the machine gun position circled by the sandbag on the roof was also swept into the ground by bullets. Many walls have been broken into pieces, and I do n’t know what weapons are so powerful.
The corpses in the villa have not been cleaned, and the dead are all pierced through the left chest by bullets. The murderer's marksmanship was terrible. Even the mercenaries hiding behind the wall were pierced through the heart with bullets.
Finally, the insurgents found Johnny ’s body in the basement and four women imprisoned in the basement.
Three of the women are locals, one is even a married woman, and one is even in junior high school. It was originally registered to die because of a car accident, but I did not expect to be imprisoned by this villain into his villa.
Another woman, a journalist from Australia, was captured during a secret visit to Johnny ’s villa. After this incident was exposed, public opinion in Australia set off an uproar, but Johnny was dead, and the crime of condemning a corpse made no sense, not to mention that the old regime had been overthrown, and the matter subsided after boiling for a while. .
Later, the four victims all received a generous compensation, signed as the new government. It is said that the money was donated by an anonymous rich businessman, and it was regarded as a trivial compensation for the unfortunate.
Of course, these are just words. (To be continued.)
